Magic Card Era: My Deck is Depressing

"Okay, you're now a student at our No. 11 Middle School. Feel free to ask any questions you may have."

The principal looked at Su Bai gently. This person seemed to be alright, at least not as dejected as those students!

I estimate that he can achieve good results this year, and that will turn things around.

"Is it okay if I don't come to school?"

"What?" The principal felt like he had just been on a roller coaster.

How can this guy be even more shameless than those people?

The students at most asked if it was okay not to attend class.

What about him?

Is it okay if I don't come to school?

Lao Tzu accepted you here to learn, not to let yourself go!

"No! Unless..."

"What?" Su Bai looked at the principal curiously.

"A genius is coming to challenge our school tomorrow. If you can beat him, I promise you won't have to come to school anymore, and I'll even give you a good grade!"

In the principal's opinion, this was almost impossible, considering that the person had defeated Zhan Xinxue, a genius.

How could someone who was forced to drop out of school possibly defeat him?

If he could really defeat him, he would risk his own life to protect this person.

A turnaround is just around the corner.

No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation. As long as he agrees, he'll fall into the trap.

Upon hearing the principal's words, Su Bai immediately thought of that person.

They were the last to come and challenge No. 11 Middle School. What an insignificant school!

But this suited him perfectly; he wanted to show those people who the real clowns were!

"I agree!"

"Can I go home now?"

Seeing Su Bai like this, the old principal felt that his hair had turned even whiter.

But we'll see the outcome tomorrow, so a day or two won't make a difference.

"Let's go, remember to be at the training hall in the city center on time tomorrow!"

They don't have that kind of thing at their school, they're poor.

So the only option was to go to the same arena where Zhan Xinxue had her last match, a place Su Bai was familiar with.

"Okay, I'm familiar with that place; I've been there once!"

"That's good, let's go!"

The old headmaster sighed; he didn't want to go tomorrow.

Anyway, this can't be kept secret. If we win, the whole of Qingshui City will know. If we lose, we'll remain unknown and there's no need to explain.

None of my students wanted to go. They were willing to watch the excitement, but who wanted to get beaten up?

Su Bai arrived just in time and perfectly resolved one of his difficult problems.

When Teacher Liu saw Su Bai leave, she no longer looked unwilling.

"Principal, was this all along?"

"Don't you even know who I am? Now what do you think of me hiring this person?"

Teacher Liu silently gave a thumbs up, feeling that he could never compare to the principal.

"You're truly a shrewd old man!"

headmaster:???

……

Have you heard?

Bai Jingjing walked into a quiet study.

In front of the desk, a handsome figure was holding a book, his brows slightly furrowed, looking at the person who came in with some displeasure.

"Why are you looking for me when you're not home? You're interrupting my reading."

"Then you see, I'm leaving!" Bai Jingjing turned to leave, but Zhan Xinxue called her back.

"Wait, I'm sorry, I'll buy you coffee!"

In the Zhan family's coffee shop, Zhan Xinxue looked lost, as if she had lost her purpose and relaxed completely.

She didn't reduce her training at all, but she felt that her mindset was different.

"What do you need me for?"

After taking a sip of coffee, Zhan Xinxue asked, her mindset really improved.

She definitely wouldn't have done this in the past.

"You really have changed!"

Looking at the flowers around her, Bai Jingjing felt much more relaxed.

He took a small sip of coffee, a smile playing on his lips.

"If someone avenged you, would you be moved?"

"Haha, I don't need revenge. Besides, why would someone who can defeat that person possibly help me?"

"You've thought things through quite clearly; you've definitely grown up!"

Hearing Bai Jingjing's evaluation, Zhan Xinxue herself also had her own insights. After a day, she felt as if she had grown up.

Indeed, setbacks are the inevitable catalyst for growth; she had it too easy before.

"That's right, I'm Zhan Xinxue!"

"He's going to the training hall tomorrow to face Nan Xiangyang!"

"what!"

Zhan Xinxue looked on in disbelief, as if she had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.

In her mind, even if an alien space invaded, Su Bai would not stand up for her.

But what's going on now?

"I'm not sure if he's avenging you, but will you go tomorrow?"

"I don't know either, because I don't have the answer in my heart!"

Zhan Xinxue couldn't describe what she felt like, but she couldn't imagine the scene.

She got up and went to the garden, picked a jasmine flower, and gently smelled it.

As if completely immersed in nature, she had completely emptied herself.

In this environment, she suddenly had an epiphany.

Seeing Zhan Xinxue's situation, Bai Jingjing smiled knowingly.

In this way, she finally caught up.

All her efforts were worthwhile; she finally achieved something.

She didn't disturb Zhan Xinxue, who was in a state of enlightenment, gave her some instructions, and then left.

It was already late at night when Zhan Xinxue woke up from her epiphany.

Looking at the starry sky and smelling the fragrance of flowers, she felt as if she were different.

Is this what enlightenment is?

"It seems I have a chance to avenge myself without you having to do it for me!"

She has now officially entered the Platinum level, although she is only at the beginner level, Nan Xiangyang is only a few days ahead of her.

"and many more!"

"This is how I feel right now!"

For a moment, Zhan Xinxue seemed to have realized something, and finally smiled helplessly.

"So, you've been at this level all along. Were you waiting for me?"

She gave a wry smile. What she used to care about most now seemed the most ridiculous thing.

"I hope I can find my own path and surpass you all!"

"I will definitely go see it tomorrow!"

A shooting star streaks across the sky, as if bidding farewell to the world and to its past self.

A new future lies ahead of him, burning himself out to reach it.

……

Su Bai, who had just received a huge order, didn't sleep all night; it was the first time he had ever had so much money.

He felt like he was dreaming, having lived two lives, and he still couldn't help but marvel at how damn good money was.

Looking at his bank account balance, Su Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Whenever he felt sleepy, his account balance would appear before his eyes.

To make sure the numbers he saw were correct, Su Bai would get up and check them again.

He wasn't annoyed at all; this was the feeling he had once fantasized about.

But after a whole night, he finally grew tired of the feeling.

The money eventually turned into a bunch of numbers and was no longer something that excited him.

Once you've experienced it, you'll understand a lot.
