This may be because people have different physical constitutions. Among the Seven Emperors, some recover quickly, while others recover slowly. For example, Shark Sister's brother, Ryoga Kamishiro, only felt uncomfortable for a while in the morning, but he returned to normal after having lunch at noon. Shark Sister is one of the more serious ones. She has been ill since last night, and the symptoms seem to be getting worse.
After the doctor's examination, their collective illness was not well explained. At most, the result was that Shark Girl was diagnosed with a fever and needed to rest well.
But both Shark Girl and the other Seven Emperors knew that this matter was not just a fever in the physical sense... In addition to physical problems, it was also accompanied by some mental problems.
The most obvious thing is that in the past two days, each of the Seven Emperors has been suffering from this inexplicable disease. They have dreamed some weird, strange, but unforgettable dreams when they are half asleep and half awake. However, when they wake up from the dreams, they will forget the specific content of these dreams as time goes by. They will only feel some strange emotions flowing in their hearts, making people feel very uncomfortable.
For example, Kamishiro Rio herself, as the individual with the most serious illness, has been tormented by strange dreams for two days - since last night. I don’t know if it’s because of the incident with You Ling and the Kurosaki siblings, but Shark Sister just feels confused and not in a good mood, and this feeling reached its peak after lying on the bed.
From that time until today when she was sent to the infirmary by her roommate Kurosaki Ruri, she has been tormented by a series of strange dreams.
Sometimes she would dream of another self, wearing the clothes of a priest in an ancient ocean country, encountering all kinds of people and stories in the ancient country; sometimes she would dream of herself in a world completely different from the human world, where the sky and the earth were covered with red and black crystals, and she would have memories of living there as some non-human species, perhaps an alien life form.
Earlier, these dreams only made her feel a little uncomfortable and did not worsen further - but this morning, after confirming with the others in the Seven Emperors group that everyone had similar experiences, the nightmare seemed to be activated and swept back even further.
From then on, the entire dream entered a completely new realm, which could even be said to be a nightmare - and when she woke up from the nightmare, Shark Girl would only remember that she was in that red and black world, and had experienced a long adventure as a Balian... She had dueled with several other partners, and experienced life and death separations. But after waking up, all her memories would gradually become blurred, making people feel only more painful.
——If You Ling was here at this time and heard the stories told by Shark Sister, he would probably comment decisively... Don't panic, it's a small scene, it's time for you to awaken the memories of Balian in your previous life.
Obviously, what Sharkie and the other friends are experiencing at this time is that their other inner identity, that is, the identity of the Seven Kings of Barian, is gradually awakening - but probably because of the different worldview from the original anime, the whole awakening method and experience are also somewhat different.
And now, what bothers Shark Girl lying on the hospital bed the most is the very last of this series of dreams. In the red and black world called Balian, the overwhelming black giant shadow - the terrifying pressure it exudes makes people feel scared even after waking up from the dream.
It was a huge black figure that stood tall and straight, impossible to ignore. At the end of every dream, Kamishiro Rio had to face this terrifying figure together with several other Barian companions.
At the same time, at the end of each dream, Shark Girl could only gain an emotion called despair - every time she and her other companions challenged this dark giant, they would end in failure and be defeated miserably by a high-level monster under the command of this black shadow.
The background of this black shadow is obviously quite easy to understand for those who understand the plot of Yu-Gi-Oh! - it is probably the mastermind behind the plot of the Seven Emperors of Barian, who can be regarded as half of the final boss in the fourth part of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, ZEXAL: the Lord of Thousands.
However, I don’t know if it’s because of the changes in the world line, and the thousands of masters in this world may not exist - in Shark Girl’s dream, the originally vague black shadow gradually became real, revealing his figure and face.
As the faces were gradually revealed, the familiar face that had been making Shark Girl feel overwhelmed recently appeared - that is, the big face of You Ling.
At the beginning, when Shark Girl faced the overwhelming dark figure in her dream and felt her companions beside her, she still felt that her fighting spirit was high and her opponent was not invincible... But when this face slowly revealed the appearance of You Ling, and heard the terrifying voice that gradually became familiar, Shark Girl felt that the fighting spirit in her heart had completely disappeared, and even her legs felt a little weak.
In fact, the result of every dream was that this wandering spirit transformed into an overwhelming dark giant, controlling two high-level monsters on the left and right under his hands, and knocked Shark Girl and her friends away - they were so powerful that they could not defeat them no matter how hard they tried.
The most impressive thing was the scene where her brother Ryoga Kamishiro was knocked away by a punch under the attack of the purple half-demon, half-robot controlled by You Ling's right hand. Only then did she realize that her brother Ryoga Kamishiro was also in her dream.
So, after Ryoga Kamishiro was knocked away by a punch from the black and purple robot, and several other friends were blown away by another Gundam robot under the command of the dream spirit, this damn dream cycle finally ended again - in a daze, Shark Girl suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed in the academy's infirmary as if she had been resurrected.
Then, she gasped and wiped the sweat from her forehead - recalling the dream that had just come again and became clearer and clearer, she felt a lingering fear.
As her brain gradually became clearer after waking up, Shark Girl slowly realized that she had just fallen asleep while looking at her phone in bed, and was attacked by this nightmare again. However, unlike the past when she was sick and could get better after a good night's sleep, this time, she only felt that under the invasion of this nightmare, her head became more and more dizzy, making her feel that her illness was worse.
"Tsk..."
Then, she turned her groggy head, recalling what she was doing before falling asleep. She subconsciously opened her phone and looked at the screen, and then she remembered that she seemed to have an appointment with someone later.
Then, she swiped her phone screen and instinctively opened the communication app, looking at the avatars of friends and group chats: the Rebellious Movement Group, the Seven Barian Emperors Group, Kurosaki Ruri, and...
Gradually, Shark Girl's eyes widened, and a flash of clarity flashed through her mind - yes, before she fell asleep, she had just...
Immediately afterwards, without Shark Sister having to continue thinking, reality had already placed the answer in front of her - after knocking on the door gently a few times, the door of Shark Sister's ward was slowly opened.
——The familiar face, the terrifying ghost in her dream, walked in under the guidance of the nurse.
As a mature man who had lived two lives, You Ling was quite considerate. He came to visit the patient and brought a fruit basket. Seeing Shark Girl's bewildered expression, he even reached out and greeted her: "...What's going on? What happened to you?"
But Shark Sister couldn't be as calm as him - because of the dizziness caused by not yet recovering from the illness, the fear of waking up from the nightmare, and the lingering feeling... Under the stimulation of all these emotions, looking at You Ling's face, Shark Sister felt her heart pounding and her pupils dilated suddenly.
It’s not that she was moved by You Ling’s heartwarming visit or anything... She was just scared, just like when you have a nightmare and dream that you are being chased by a ghost, but when you open your eyes, you find that the ghost has come to see you in real life.
To the now groggy Shark Girl, seeing the Wandering Spirit in front of her was probably like seeing Gray Liuli in a duel, or the second son of the Sea Tiger seeing Gito Si... It was simply more terrifying and terrifying than the Cyber Terminator Dragon with 100,000 attack points!!!
"Wow wow wow... Wow ah ah ah!" For a moment, Shark Girl, who was probably in a daze because she had just woken up, looked at You Ling with horror in her eyes. She was so scared that she made a sharp explosion and couldn't stop shrinking into the corner of the bed.
“You, you, you…you don’t want to, come here!!”
You Ling:......?
He put down the fruit basket and looked at the shark girl in confusion. She seemed to have something wrong with her brain. He had always believed that the shark girl in this world was not normal.
"...What's going on? Are you sick?"
Volume 1: Chapter 126: Li Xu? (Indifferent)
Unlike Shark Girl, whose mind is full of chaos and she is immersed in wild thoughts because of nightmares, You Ling does not have any Balian blood, so naturally she will not enter the so-called awakening period.
——His idea was simple. He just wanted to come and check on the condition of his teammate, who was matched with him by this system and was also a cute (?) little classmate.
When he was sitting opposite Judai and John in the dining area, when he saw that his teammate was actually Shark Girl, and felt that he had such a connection with her, the first thing You Ling did was to open the communication app on his phone and contact her.
However, he just wanted to ask at the beginning, and he didn't think that Shark Sister would team up with him according to the results of the system matching. Whether from You Ling's impression or the scenes he had observed before, Shark Sister was the kind of social expert who had no shortage of friends around her. In addition, there were two small groups of Balian and Heisaki brothers and sisters. It was obvious that there were many teammates waiting to be recruited, so this team activity might have nothing to do with him.
In matters like this, You Ling felt that if the other person had any intentions, they would have already contacted each other long ago. If they didn't say anything like this, it probably meant that they didn't have any thoughts about her side. You Ling thought that it would be more reasonable for them to team up with her brother Kamishiro Ryoga, or a good friend like Kurosaki Ruri whom she had met before.
However, after You Ling sent the message, she found out that Shark Sister was ill in bed. She didn't even need to see it with her own eyes. Just by looking at the slow and weak typing speed of the message, You Ling could feel that Shark Sister was dejected on the other side of the screen.
Shark Sister obviously knew why You Ling came to see her. Even in her bad condition, she still told You Ling that if she needed anything, she could come to the school's infirmary to discuss it in detail.
Upon hearing this news, You Ling's first reaction was actually—so, card players in this world can get sick? He had thought that the natives of the Duel World, who could leap three or four meters high and be flung over ten meters without a problem, would have miraculous physiques that were immune to all poisons and weapons. He hadn't expected bacteria to be able to infect them... How powerful must this bacteria be? Duel bacteria?
But despite all the complaints, You Ling still brought a fruit basket and came to the infirmary to visit her classmates naturally.
After all, during the days when You Ling came to this world and returned to the Super Academy, Shark Sister could be regarded as one of his "people who could at least talk to him" - and since he really had something to do, he might as well come and see her.
As a result, as soon as they met, he saw Shark Girl trembling as if she was having a panic attack. If people didn't know her, they would probably think that Youling was a very unlucky thing, and she scared Shark Girl like this as soon as she entered the ward.
But obviously, as a relatively rational and smart duelist, Shark Girl was only slightly nervous when she saw You Ling, and she quickly regained her composure.
——After the commotion, she was half covered with a small quilt, wearing a hospital gown, leaning against the wall, touching her forehead, and speaking apologetically to You Ling.
"Uh, sorry, I haven't been feeling well lately - as you can see, I probably have a fever..." Shark Girl said as she shook her head at You Ling, looking listless. "Plus, I just had some weird dreams, so when I saw you, I felt a little..."
Having said that, Shark Girl closed her mouth and didn't finish the rest of her words.
Although she felt dizzy due to her illness and her intelligence seemed lower than usual, she realized something was wrong when she said this.
——Whether I tell You Ling that I just dreamed about you and that’s why it’s a bit strange, or I tell people that I just had a nightmare and you were the villain in it, scaring the shit out of me... no matter which statement I make, it doesn’t feel right.
Even though she had woken up from the dream, Shark Girl could clearly feel that the horror she had felt in the dream before was extremely real. After seeing You Ling himself, this feeling was even stronger.
You Ling, on the other hand, waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's just a small matter... there's no need to get too serious with the patient."
In fact, in You Ling's opinion, Shark Girl's current appearance is quite consistent with the stereotype in his memory.
In the fourth Yu-Gi-Oh anime ZEXAL that he had watched in his previous life, most of his memories of the character of Kamishiro Rio, also known as Shark Sister, were all about her being bedridden and acting out sex scenes... The energetic and jumping Shark Sister that he had seen before was actually inconsistent with what You Ling remembered.
Shark Sister was not the type to be shy or secretive. She knew exactly what You Ling was here for, so she simply opened her phone and got straight to the point.
Then, she waved her phone, which contained instructions about the new rules and duel, at You Ling. Then, she said apologetically, "You're here to ask about the joint duel and the results of our match, right? Sorry, you should have seen how I look now."
Then, while waving her phone, she looked at You Ling with a sickly look on her face. "I'm in this condition now, and I don't know when I'll be able to recover... And in this state, I probably won't be able to duel. Even if I were to stand on the duel field, I'd probably collapse quickly from exhaustion."
"Anyway, based on my judgment, I shouldn't be able to duel for at least a few days before the event begins... Regarding this matter, I can only say sorry."
After saying this, perhaps because she was a little weak from her illness, Shark Sister looked much softer. With an apologetic look on her face, she offered a solution to You Ling: "Although I really want to participate in this duel event and have some ideas about the ranking... but considering my current situation, I can only withdraw for the time being."
When saying this, You Ling particularly noticed that Shark Girl's sickly face showed an expression that could be said to be very unwilling.
Before this, when chatting with John and Judai, You Ling seemed to have heard that this competition seemed to have many attractive rewards for the Duel Academy students in their graduation season.
——Although You Ling doesn’t care much about the rewards from the Duel Academy because he is now obsessed with completing system tasks...but Shark Girl is different. Judging from her performance, as a duelist, she is quite eager for these duels and the rewards after winning the duels.
At this moment, Shark Sister lifted her heavy eyelids and slowly met You Ling's gaze. Although her mind was confused, she still expressed her meaning clearly and said to You Ling seriously, "Don't worry, I understand how important this matter is to the duelists... I certainly won't do anything to drag you down."
"I just called you over for this matter—I should temporarily withdraw from this joint duel and recuperate for a while to get over this illness. As for you, You Ling, you can find a teammate you like according to the rules above..."
When she said this, Shark couldn't help but lower her eyes again - she knew very well what victory on the field meant to the duelists, and in this joint team duel mode, everyone probably just wanted to find a partner who could help each other or even be stronger than themselves to fight together... let alone find someone who would be a burden.
The world of duelists is certainly cruel, and at a time like this, it is normal for no one to come to help her - it was her bad luck that she fell at such a perfect time.
Unexpectedly, before Shark Sister could finish her words, she heard an unexpected rejection from You Ling.
"Well, that sounds nice...but what I love most is saying NO to those who are self-righteous and think they can give up by using illness as an excuse!"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..." Then, a faint voice came from You Ling and reached Shark Girl's ears, "I only have one question for you... Do you want to win?"
Upon hearing this, Shark Girl was stunned for a moment - she raised her head and looked into You Ling's eyes. Her first reaction was to recall the great horror she had seen in her dream before. The overwhelming figure that seemed to devour everything made her inexplicably tremble and feel timid.
But perhaps everything has its limits, and Shark Girl felt that when her spirit was suppressed to this point, perhaps the unyielding duelist spirit in her heart had rebounded.
For some unknown reason, Shark Girl raised her head and looked at You Ling without showing any weakness.
"...Who wouldn't want to win?"
Seeing this, You Ling smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, it really is something with the soul of a duelist!"
"In that case, it's very simple, isn't it—"
——Then it would be very simple... Anyway, for You Ling, it doesn't seem to matter who his teammates are or whether he needs them or not.
Rather, after repeatedly confirming the competition system on the way here, for You Ling, the teammates next to him do not need to be specific people, but just need a set of cards to play for himself. This may be more reliable than having a real teammate next to him.
He just thought about it, the only complicated thing in this situation is that - even for You Ling, although he is confident that he can play most of the decks he can see now quite well, it is still difficult to put together a strong and complete deck in just a few days before the start of this competition.
Now, looking at Shark Girl like this, the situation has actually come to an extremely simple point - Miss Kamishiro Rio needs a teammate to help her duel, but she herself is not good at fighting due to pathological reasons...
——You Ling just needs a teammate who doesn’t matter whether he is there or not, as long as his deck is qualified. Although Shark Girl herself is down, her deck will not fall... She needs a thug, and I need a deck. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
"What...what do you mean?" Looking at You Ling's grinning face, with a look of sudden enlightenment, Shark Girl was confused.
Afterwards, You Ling told the truth and made a proposal that would sound daring to the duelists in this world - it's very simple, just offer your deck as a sacrifice!
After hearing You Ling's words, Shark Girl first widened her eyes with a look of shock, but after a moment, her expression was replaced by confusion, and she even shrank back, looking at You Ling in front of her with some fear.
——Do you know what it means for a duelist to lend his deck to someone else... That’s what Shark Girl wanted to say!
But when she looked up and saw You Ling's determined eyes and relaxed look, as well as an expression as if he had everything under control and was planning everything...for a moment, Shark Sister didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, You Ling thought for a moment and felt that the guy in front of him was probably not convinced enough about himself - so he decisively stretched out his right hand and pointed at himself with his thumb.
"Don't worry, I, the Great God of the Sea Emperor's Water Scale Domain...!" You Ling then extended his hand again, using his thumb and index finger to once again form the fingertip universe gesture. "To be honest, I actually know a little bit about your deck...!"
Shark Sister didn't know what to say about this - and at this moment, the terrifying figure of the wandering spirit that she had seen in the nightmare before emerged in her confused mind again.
At the same time, she also recalled that the terrifying figure with the face of the wandering spirit in her dream seemed to have a scene like this, whispering seductive words in her ears, trying to make people fall - in an instant, the voice in the dream and the wandering spirit in front of her overlapped again, making Shark Sister feel strongly shaken.
She couldn't help but look up and looked at You Ling with a trembling voice.
"You can even say something like this... W-What on earth do you want to do?"
You Ling: “…?”
He thought about it, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind - just like when he first met his good friend Marufuji Ryo, he slowly stretched out his right hand.
"Oh, what I have to do is very simple. Your desire for victory—"
"Let my uncle use the power of magnetic field to help you!"
**********
At the same time, in a dormitory not far away.
Now, Ryoga Kamishiro was lying in the dormitory, feeling a little restless after hearing the news that his sister was ill. He was thinking about whether he should go to the infirmary to visit her. Just as he was thinking about whether to visit her, Shark-classman who wanted to ask Rio if she needed his help in the joint duel... couldn't help but suddenly sneezed very loudly.
"...Riyo?" He frowned, suddenly having a very bad feeling.
Volume 1: Leave Request
I worked overtime today at the beginning of the month and just got off work now. I feel like it’s too late to write when I get home, so I’m taking a short leave.

Volume 1: Chapter 127 It’s very simple, I can just open two accounts at once!
After sneezing, Kamiyo Ryoga scratched his head, got up from his bed in the dormitory, and looked around - he always felt as if someone was cursing him.
——Or perhaps, some kind of intuition was reminding him that something unpleasant was about to happen.
After waiting and looking around the almost empty dormitory, he frowned again and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.
——Kamiyo Ryoga, like his sister Kamishiro Rio and several other companions of the Seven Emperors, has been suffering from that strange disease since this morning. However, perhaps because of his good physical condition, he did not suffer from the illness for too long and recovered his spirits soon.
But the strange thing is that even though the disease has left his body, it seems to have caused some irreversible effects on Ryoga Kamishiro - the most obvious of which is that since he became ill, he can feel that his mental power, which was already very sharp and top-notch among duelists, seems to have been further improved and become more sensitive.
The strange feeling that was like a flash of inspiration just now is also a manifestation of the sequelae of this disease - and that strange feeling can be said to be quite clear.
In that moment just now, Kamiyo Ryoga seemed to feel his sister's cry for help - he could almost see something terrible and strange, like a demon tempting humans in exchange for power, whispering in his ignorant sister's ear, trying to lure her into some kind of abyss.
At that moment, Ryoga Kamishiro's heart was filled with great pride, and he felt that he was the only brother who could help his sister... But soon after this feeling left, he regained his composure and shook his head, feeling that it seemed to be just an illusion.
