Chapter Fifty-Three Graduation Party

Graduation party, a traditional event at the Royal Academy.

Every June is graduation season.

Before Miss Nocturne reigned over her Royal Court, the Royal Court had a tradition of holding graduation parties—of course, these were basically just small-scale events for graduating seniors to commemorate the end of their student life.

Then Nocturne arrived... What did Nocturne like? She was a genius planner, and she loved to organize all sorts of events and festivals, even meddling in the school sports meet. And the graduation party... naturally, couldn't escape Miss Nocturne's clutches either.

What was originally just a small event for graduating seniors turned into a massive carnival that swept through the entire Royal Academy, thanks to her efforts.

Take the last graduation party for example... it covered almost half of the Imperial College, with all sorts of activities popping up one after another.

Going to dance halls to dance was the most normal thing to do. Next was requisitioning various departments of the opera house, which was also quite good. Then there was the poetry gathering of literary youths. At that time, the story of the nameless swordsman of Southern Qin defeating the Black Dragon Empire's Jue Tian Army spread. Various countries joined forces to besiege the Black Dragon Empire. At that time, Ying Qin Guan alone blocked Jue Tian, ​​his merits shook the world, and he became a god in one battle. The literary youths held a poetry gathering there and wrote a few poems to commemorate the nameless swordsman of Southern Qin, but unfortunately, not many of them have survived.

None of that is outrageous. What's outrageous is that someone completely disregarded the school rules, holding a bonfire party on campus. When Principal Jiu Yi arrived, they were already drunk and even offered him skewers and beer.

Faced with such a student, Jiu Yi could only manage a wry smile.

What else can they do? This is all the youth they have left.

Student life is the most beautiful time of a person's life. A life without going to university is incomplete. The moment you step out of the ivory tower, you should understand that this is the growing up you longed for as a child. From now on, you will gain many, many things, but what you lose when you leave this ivory tower, no matter how rich or powerful you become, those things will never come back.

And this graduation party... might be the last night they have all these things.

Generally speaking, as long as they don't demolish the Imperial Palace, Jiu Yi will tolerate it.

It's almost mid-June now, and according to past tradition, preparations for the graduation party should begin soon—in the past, there weren't any preparations, everyone just went through the motions, but then Nocturne came along...

Without a doubt, this year's graduation party will once again be organized by Nocturne.

Although it was called a graduation party, almost all the students in the Imperial College participated.

The students at the Imperial Academy are incredibly proactive. Besides the Nocturne Academy's own arrangements, various departments also organize small activities after obtaining the right to use the classrooms. The most famous of these in recent years was the "Alien Studies Club's" test of courage two years ago, which so terrified a teacher who accidentally wandered into the venue that he ended up in the hospital.

As a result, the Alien Research Club became famous overnight, and a large number of new students came to join the club during the summer recruitment season.

This set a precedent for other clubs that's hard to call either very good or very bad. In other words... basically every club wanted to create a big news story.

Of course, none of this mattered to Ying Qin and Guan Jiu. As two individuals who ascended to the top of the Imperial Academy through ultimate self-discipline, they were detached from worldly affairs, looking down upon the Imperial Academy like immortals.

Since get out of class ended, Ying and Jiu have stayed here and never left again. When asked what time it is, they have no idea of ​​spring, summer, autumn or winter. They are like walking corpses all day long. Occasionally, there is a strange sound, which is Ying's voice, saying, "Ah, the God of War! Great!"

After the two "walking great libraries", the Imperial Household Agency has finally produced two more "eternal card players".

The owner of the board game shop, holding a cat in his arms, pushed open the curtain and entered Ying Qin Guan and Jiu Yi's room.

He sat down to the side, just as Ying Qin Guan and Jiu Yi finished their solo match. Seeing the board game shop owner enter, they knew he must have something to discuss.

The board game shop owner was a man, who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He had a friendly appearance, wore a monocle over his right eye, and had a gold chain hanging down to his chest. His black hair was streaked with silver, and his pupils were emerald green. He was dressed in black and gold silk clothes that were obviously not cheap. He held a cat in his left arm and had a thin silver pipe between his right hand, which he would occasionally puff out.

—Furthermore, Ying Qin Guan learned from the young cook that this guy was also the owner of a bookstore, and it was said that he had shares in many shops within the school, including Qin Shan Ju.

He spends all his time in the board game store petting cats, and if there's one thing that leaves the deepest impression on people, it's his food.

It is said that he used to eat breakfast at Yu Meirenfang, but after Yu Meirenfang closed down, he stopped eating breakfast. At noon, the Hundred Families Banquet would deliver food, and during afternoon tea, the Flower Shop would send someone to deliver specially made desserts that were not available to the public. For dinner, he only ate high-end dishes from Hu Yinhe's family. His late-night snacks were quite varied, and he ate basically everything.

—If Jiu Yi ate like him, he would be investigated within a few days.

The fact that such a wealthy person secretly runs a board game shop shows that he is the same kind of person as Ying Qin Guan Jiu.

He sat down and casually put down the cat he was holding. Ying Qin Guan didn't know what breed the cat was, but it looked very expensive. It was pure white with no other colors, its fur was soft, it didn't shed, it had a good temperament, was affectionate, and its appearance was also impeccable.

Ying Qin Guan had been eyeing this cat for a long time. Seeing an opportunity, he took advantage of the boss's inattention and gave it a good pat, a look of pure enjoyment on his face. The kitten turned its head in confusion, tilting its little head slightly. But it didn't react much, like the good-natured, timid, and extremely patient housewife next door.

Ying Qin Guan's martial arts skills were astonishing. The boss failed to notice the man in front of him. He looked at Jiu Yi and smiled slightly, "Dean, to be honest, I have come here this time to ask for your help."

Jiu Yi clearly knew who the boss was and was somewhat surprised, saying, "How can I help you?"

"I just need your permission..." the boss chuckled softly. "With graduation season approaching, another batch of new faces is replacing the old. I'm feeling a bit sentimental myself, and I wanted to join in the fun with the young people..."

As he spoke, he pulled a small box from his pocket.

"But after much thought, I realize that I am not as talented as Miss Nocturne, and I am not capable of performing any programs."

"So... I've changed my approach. While I may not be good at it, there are always people who are. I happen to run a shop like this, and I'm thinking of taking this opportunity to hold a Time-Space Killing competition. Of course, I need your permission, Dean, since I'm not a student of the Royal Academy."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Yi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether you ask me about this or not. What trouble could a time-space killing competition cause? It's just that... how should I put it, since you're not an official, I'm afraid not many people will participate."

The shop owner smiled slightly and opened the box naturally.

"So... there has to be this champion's prize."

Ying Qin Guan and Jiu Yi each peeked out.

Inside is a sound card.

【Alluring Beauty】

Chapter Fifty-Four: The Alluring Cup

To date, Time and Space Kill has released a total of 582 generals. However, there aren't that many voice cards, because some generals have been released repeatedly. For example, the God of War has seven forms, but he only has one voice card, namely the God? God of War card.

According to some estimates, the exact number of sound cards is around 420, of which 17 were damaged for various reasons, and the whereabouts of 140 of the remaining 400 are unknown.

This is one of those 140 photos.

A woman stands on the stage, her face obscured by a light veil, but tears are falling below.

【Alluring Beauty】

Era: Age of Gods

Physical strength: three

【Peerless Beauty】: When you are damaged by a male general, you make a judgment. If the judgment result is not a heart, you recover one point of health and gain a judgment card.

[A Choice You Can't Regret]: When the number of remaining survivors exceeds the number of rounds remaining, at the start of your end phase, you need to choose one of the following.

1. You have suffered some damage from the target you specified.

Second: Discard one card.

After you have made your selection, you can choose another character and have them choose the option you did not select.

(Even if I die today, I will never serve a foreign race!)

One of the most famous beauties of the divine era, her exact beauty is now impossible to verify. Legend has it that before the God of War appeared, alien races heard of Qingcheng's beauty and threatened to attack her country. Before the God of War, no one dared to defy the alien races, so Qingcheng was sent to their country.

The alien tribe wanted to see her dance, but Qingcheng said that her dance was best viewed under the moonlight with the lights extinguished. So the alien tribe ordered their men to blow out the candles, and Qingcheng danced in the darkness, her long sleeves flowing, a breathtaking sight. But when the lights shone back on, the alien tribe discovered that Qingcheng had disfigured her face with a hidden knife.

A chaste and virtuous woman, she would rather die than serve a foreign race.

In that era, there were many such people. They might have been unknown figures, or perhaps they left only a few words in history. But before the God of War truly arrived, their stories were all so oppressive and painful.

Monsters ravage the land, alien races roam freely, and humans are nothing more than reproductive tools for these races.

The Age of Gods is the era that humanity least wants to recall.

The reason why the God of War has such a high status is because he led humanity out of that painful and humble era.

He swept away alien races and monsters, like an arrow drawn from a bow, relentless and never looking back, always moving forward, ever forward, until he carved out a path for human survival in this world.

God among gods, man among men. All those who are deified use "god" as a prefix, but the God of War is the only one who uses "god" as a suffix. The only other one to have this privilege is a goddess.

But humans don't believe in goddesses; they only believe in the god of war.

Closer to home.

Sound cards have always been highly sought after but rarely available. As the world's largest and most powerful IP, Time & Space Kill continues to thrive, naturally increasing the value of these sound cards. Only in a very few official tournaments does Time & Space Kill offer a limited number of sound cards as prizes for the champion, highlighting their rarity. And now... someone is actually offering sound cards as a prize for the champion?

Upon seeing the sound card, Jiu Yi's eyes immediately reddened, and he exclaimed, "Foolish! Boss! Giving this sound card as a prize to those mediocre people is a waste! Sell it to me! I will cherish it like a family heirloom!"

The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and laughed, "Dean, it's not that I look down on you, but this card keeps appreciating in value. Even if I didn't increase the price by a single penny and sold it to you at the original price... if you just take out this money, you'll be thoroughly investigated tomorrow."

boss's contempt

He didn't mention money at all, but it was truly armor-piercing and a critical hit. In just a few words, he left Jiu Yi riddled with holes, his defenses completely broken, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Yes, having money is useless. Even if you have money, you can't spend it. Besides, Jiu Yi is addicted to playing cards and has no interest in accepting bribes, so he doesn't have much money at all.

The principal was speechless, unable to utter a word, while Ying Qin Guan, brimming with confidence, said, "Hmph... a competition, huh? If it's a solo competition, with my skill, the championship is practically in my pocket!"

The boss and Jiu Yi exchanged a knowing glance.

He's so confident.

I don't know if he's just being stubborn or if he genuinely thinks he's capable.

Let me tell you a secret: he lost 21 straight matches against Nocturne in a solo game.

Haha, is that even possible?!

The two men exchanged glances, which sent a chill down Ying Qin's spine. He wondered if the dean was short of money and was trying to use some dirty trick to complete the deal. The voice card was good, but it wasn't worth it...

A real man gets everything through his own strength!

My reputation for perfect card sequence with absolutely no foreshadowing is known to everyone, from Seven Stars to Osaka. This card is definitely mine!

Amidst laughter and conversation, Ying Qin Guan planted flags all over his body.

"Ahem..." The boss coughed and laughed, "In short, during the daytime of the graduation party, I will be holding a Time-Space Killing competition here. The duration will depend on the number of participants. You two can also help promote it. The rules are very simple: 1v1, draw five and choose four to play, and ban God Generals and event boss cards."

Upon hearing the words "Forbidden God General," Ying Qin Guan's expression changed slightly.

Jiu Yi felt this expression was completely unnecessary; did this guy really think he could win just by not disabling the divine general?

"Hmph..." Ying Qin Guan snorted coldly and said, "Even without those divine generals, I, Ying Qin Guan, can still win the championship!"

He walked out confidently, perhaps to prepare for the competition.

The shopkeeper reached out, and the kitten leaped lightly into his arms. He picked up the silver pipe and chuckled softly, "Then, if the dean is interested, please come and participate in the competition."

Jiu Yi said in a deep voice, "I won't lose for the sake of the sound card!"

"hehe.."

As evening approached, Ying Qin Guan saw the notice board placed at the entrance of the canteen when he went to eat there.
