Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

"Dragon-Suppressing Technique!"

Before Zhan Xinxue could make a move, a magic card in Nan Xiangyang's hand began to flash.

An indescribable aura erupted instantly, covering the entire space in moments.

"Elemental Warriors, emerge!"

A blurry scene unfolded, and wisps of something, like threads entwined together, began to materialize in the space.

It eventually took the form of a warrior, but this warrior had no physical body and was entirely constructed from some kind of element.

Elements are highly immune to magic, but they are much less effective against physical attacks.

They also possess considerable offensive power, comparable to dragon-type creatures.

On the battlefield, the elemental warriors stood silently, but Zhan Xinxue did nothing.

Her face was ashen; she hadn't expected this person to be so despicable, directly using the Platinum-level Magic Card Dragon Forbidden Technique.

This is a spell card specifically designed to counter dragons. After it is cast, no dragon creatures can be summoned in the space for a short period of time.

If this were a battlefield, she would be dead.

So in this match, she did nothing, yet lost miserably.

Nan Xiangyang was able to bring one more magic card than her based on her strength, so she lost this game completely and had no ability to fight back.

"I lost!"

A tear glistened in the corner of her eye, and she left the venue without looking back.

Watching Zhan Xinxue's departing figure, Nan Xiangyang smiled happily.

He's already mastered something this simple.

"I believe you will gradually fall in love with me. A strong man like me is the most suitable partner for you."

However, from now on, he is undoubtedly number one in the entire Qingshui City!

……

In Zhan Xinxue's room, she covered herself with the blanket.

A faint sob could be heard; she hated herself for being so incompetent and unable to do anything.

She hated Su Bai even more; how could he be so ungrateful and inhuman?

If Su Bai had been willing to intervene, things wouldn't be like this now.

But everything happened, and she finally became the school beauty of No. 3 Middle School.

The video of the two people's fight has been uploaded online and seen by everyone.

Although no one said anything, she knew she would never be able to lift her head again.

"Xue'er, Jingjing is here to see you."

Hongyuan knew that her comforting words wouldn't do any good, so she called Bai Jingjing over.

Hearing Bai Jingjing approach, Zhan Xinxue finally looked up.

Her eyes were red and there were faint tear stains on her face. She looked much more haggard.

"Jingjing, I lost!"

She never felt ashamed to lose to Bai Jingjing, but now that she had lost to an outsider, she felt ashamed.

"It's okay, you did your best!"

"He is indeed very strong!"

Hearing Bai Jingjing's words, Zhan Xinxue agreed, but things shouldn't have turned out this way.

"It's all Su Bai's fault. If he had been willing to fight, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Chapter 43: The Defense Was Breached

43. The defense has been breached.

The two people sat facing each other in the room.

Zhan Xinxue was much better at this moment, but there was still a thorn in her heart that she could not let go of.

The honor she longed for and desperately tried to protect was lost.

"Have you calmed down?"

Seeing Zhan Xinxue lost in thought, Bai Jingjing suddenly spoke up.

No matter what Zhan Xinxue said, she just went along with it and didn't want her to continue.

Now that she seems to have calmed down, this is the right time to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"Yes, I've accepted it. I'm not that fragile!"

Losing is not shameful; she will naturally win it back in the future!

No difficulty can defeat her; she is determined to be the strongest person.

My life had always been so smooth, and I had never experienced anything like this before, so it was hard for me to accept it for a while.

But now that she's calmed down, she's come to her senses.

Nan Xiangyang is definitely stronger than her, there's no doubt about that, losing isn't shameful!

It's just that I find it hard to face my classmates who have high expectations of me.

"So what do you plan to do?"

Seeing Zhan Xinxue like this, Bai Jingjing knew that she must have recovered.

However, when faced with such a situation, one's thinking can easily become problematic.

Especially regarding the matter concerning Su Bai, she felt it would definitely become a knot in Zhan Xinxue's heart.

So she had to do something.

"How to do it?"

"Just work a little harder than usual!"

She knows where her limits are, and what she needs to do now is to break through those limits.

Nothing else matters anymore; this is probably what it feels like to destroy and then rebuild.

Only when you let go of everything can your mindset be elevated.

She has come to realize that growth always comes at a price.

"Not bad, he hasn't lost his mind!"

"But you might not be able to catch up with him this year. It seems you'll have to wait until after college to do so!"

Breaking through to the Platinum level is very difficult; many college graduates haven't been able to achieve it because the profession of Magic Card Master truly depends on talent.

Is hard work worthwhile?

It's useful, but not very useful. It can only narrow the gap between two people, but it won't catch up or even surpass them.

Zhan Xinxue is very talented, and it's not impossible for her to surpass Nan Xiangyang, but she needs to accumulate some things.

There's no such thing as sudden enlightenment; all you can do is practice until you're proficient.

"Seeing you like this makes me feel relieved!"

"By the way, Su Bai dropped out of school, so there's no need for you to hate him anymore."

"Rubbish!"

Upon hearing that Su Bai had dropped out of school, Zhan Xinxue immediately felt that this person was utterly irresponsible, actually dropping out to avoid taking responsibility.

Is running away useful?

Garbage is garbage!

"I knew it long ago, he's a despicable person!"

“He was educated by No. 3 Middle School for three years, but he had no gratitude at all, and even had to drop out of school because of this incident.”

"How ridiculous!"

Hearing Zhan Xinxue's words, Bai Jingjing's eyes were filled with emotion.

A misunderstanding of a person is simply a matter of prejudice.

Is that really the case?

"Heh, is there anything I don't know?"

"I called him over and told him that this was a battle for the honor of No. 3 Middle School, and he had to participate!"

Just thinking about that scene makes Zhan Xinxue very angry.

That person is absolutely heartless.

"Hmm, it's all his fault?"

"Isn't that so?"

Bai Jingjing took off her cloak and looked at Zhan Xinxue with clear eyes.

She felt that this person was currently stuck in a vicious cycle, unable to find a way out.

"Look me in the eyes, is it all his fault?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, not all of them!" Zhan Xinxue couldn't look Bai Jingjing in the eye at that moment.

That gaze was too clear, too calm, so calm that it frightened her.

"He wasn't in first place, so he had no obligation to participate in this competition, right?"

Zhan Xinxue didn't speak, but nodded.

That's right, she invited Su Bai over, and for the honor of No. 3 Middle School, she even put aside her pride.
