Card simulation, starting with the Goblin Deserter

Training Center Lobby

The practical training instructor diligently supervised the last student as they entered, then clapped his hands and shouted.

"Okay, everyone's here now. I'll go contact the staff to open the secret realm."

"Everyone, listen again. Don't panic after entering the secret realm. There's no danger there. First, you need to..."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Green."

Fisher suddenly interrupted.

Mr. Green was taken aback, thinking that he had made a mistake in some part of the process.

Before he could ask, Fisher turned to the group of students and spoke calmly.

"Isaiah Page, classmate."

"Could you please let me see what's in your pocket?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding students all looked at Peppa Pig with puzzled expressions.

Only Hayes looked at Fisher with astonishment.

He only noticed Paige's unusual emotional fluctuations by "anticipating the enemy's moves," but the dean actually saw that there was something "hidden" on her.

The dean of Zuma Academy is truly remarkable!

At that moment, Paige's face turned pale in an instant.

He cursed the Marquis Stern's unreliability in his heart, but on the surface he forced a smile.

"What are you saying, Dean? I don't have anything in my pocket..."

With a loud "boom," a giant white-haired ape, seven or eight meters tall, appeared behind Fisher. The fur on its head even faintly reached the ceiling of the training center.

The powerful, restless magic emanating from him sent a shiver down the spines of everyone present!

Fisher maintained his calm and composed expression as he looked at Page and spoke calmly.

Give it to me.

The surging magic power of an eighth-tier card master pressed down on Paige, who had completely lost the will to resist.

With his head drooping, he slowly pulled a magic scroll with strange patterns engraved on it from his inner pocket and handed it to Mr. Green, who had come to collect it.

The moment Mr. Green saw the reel, his face changed. He quickly took the reel and whispered something in Fisher's ear.

"Dean, this looks a bit like the new magical artifacts that the Bayin Principality has been developing in recent years..."

Fisher could tell without him saying it.

The usually composed dean's expression was now unpredictable. He stared at the scroll in silence for a few seconds before reaching out to take it.

"I will report this to His Majesty the King... Hmm?!"

The moment Fisher's fingers touched the scroll, the eerie pattern printed on it seemed to come alive, crawling out of the scroll like insects and up Fisher's palm!

This unexpected turn of events caused everyone present to scream in surprise, including Page and Graham!

However, as an eighth-tier card master with extensive experience, how could Fisher be frightened by such a thing?

"Activate the Spell Card [Forest Sanctuary]".

A flash of emerald light appeared, and a barrier as thin as a cicada's wing, yet indestructible, suddenly appeared around Fisher.

All those patterns were blocked by the barrier, unable to penetrate even a little.

However, the next second, Fisher's expression changed drastically. He felt that the pure magic power that belonged to him on the barrier was being slowly devoured by these black words.

"This isn't an attack...it's some kind of sacrificial spell?"

In that instant, Fisher recalled what Hayes had told him during lunch break.

These black words are in the secret realm of his magical summoning, a sacrifice!

"Everyone! Run!!" Fisher's voice became unusually urgent.

But it was too late.

Countless distorted "eyes" composed of pure darkness simultaneously lit up the floor and ceiling of the training center!

They all stared at Fisher, and the surrounding space seemed to groan under the weight of the pressure!

A crack with ominous purplish-black lightning flashing along its edges suddenly opened, like the maw of a giant beast, ready to devour all the students present.

The students, who were laughing and chatting not long ago, have now vanished one after another without a sound, like pencil marks erased by an eraser...

The noise stopped, and so did the 105 students.

In an instant, only Dean Fisher and Teacher Green remained in the huge training center hall!

The latter knelt on the ground, completely bewildered, unable to believe his eyes!

His voice trembled as he murmured.

"Dean, the children... have all been swept into the secret realm?!"

Fisher's face was ashen, his heart filled with a mixture of frustration and anger.

Having never seen such a magical item before, he never imagined that his personal visit to protect the students would backfire and fall into the enemy's trap!

He did not respond to Green's words, but instead immediately cast a spell to contact that person.

"Your Majesty, the Principality of Bayin... may be about to wage war..."

-

Every coin has its other side.

A great man once said that facing one's true self is facing life's greatest hardship...

Okay, there wasn't any great person involved; I made this up on the spot. Anyway...

Welcome to the massive dungeon – the “real” Zuma Academy!

Hayes opened his eyes, just as the mocking voice from an unknown source in his mind came to an end.

He looked at the desk covered in bizarre graffiti, then looked up at the blackboard soaked in blood and moss.

If it weren't for the fact that his classmates were still the same group of people, Hayes would have seriously doubted whether he was actually in classroom number one of the second teaching building at Zuma Academy.

It seems he has indeed entered the secret realm.

Linda, who was sitting next to me, was the second person in the classroom to wake up.

She cautiously observed everything around her, including Hayes.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he really was "Hays".

She said in a deep voice, "It seems that even Dean Fisher couldn't stop all of this."

"Students from both classes have been swept into the secret realm."

Hayes looked at her and hummed in agreement.

Linda stood up, glanced around the classroom, and frowned. "Why are we the only two awake?"

Hayes thought for a moment and guessed.

"It's probably because of the magic level. The next one to wake up might be Gentry, and then it will be that small group of students who have advanced to the second tier."

At this moment, the sky outside was no longer bright, and it looked gloomy as if it was about to rain.

Linda rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, then called out to Hayes, "This is our advantage."

"While the rest of you are still asleep, we should leave the classroom as soon as possible to gather intelligence!"

"Let's go."

After saying that, Linda took the lead and walked out of the classroom, while Hayes followed behind her at a leisurely pace.

However, just as Linda had taken several steps out of the classroom, Hayes stopped a step inside the door.

He looked at Linda outside the door, expressionless.

The latter turned around in confusion and asked.

"What's wrong? Let's go."

Hayes didn't move, but instead smiled at Linda and said something that left her completely baffled.

"Can't you see him?"

"Who?"

Linda was puzzled, but in Hayes' eyes, Wu Wukai (in his Kaling state) was squatting at the classroom door, grinning and making faces at her.

The moment Hayes awoke, he summoned Little Kai.

But this dear "Linda" never once glanced at him...

This "Linda" is not a 50/50 chance!
