A duelist never gives up!

Chapter 9: Don’t question the power of God!

"You win the duel." Zhu Xiu handed his deck to Yuan Qi, "As agreed, you can choose a card from this deck."

"What about enrollment?" Yuan Qi asked subconsciously.

"Of course there is no problem. Not only that, food and accommodation are all free." Zhu Xiu said.

"I understand."

Yuan Qi took Zhu Xiu's deck in front of him and began to select. First, he eliminated the cards from the Mecha Knight series. Although they had the special conditions of high hit points and quick appearance, a single card was not very meaningful. Secondly, the Skill Drain also had to be eliminated. Although they were very powerful, they did not fit the style of his own deck. Then he saw the card that was said to be able to devour any monster - Kameisiel, the Turtle Monster.

Its effect is to liberate 1 monster on the opponent's field and special summon it from the hand to the opponent's field in attack position. It is often used by duelists to deal with monsters on the opponent's field that have high resistance or powerful effects.

"Teacher, did you have this card in your hand at that time?" Yuan Qi suddenly asked. If he relied solely on Crown Tiramisu to attack Kanbi without the Book of the Moon, his Crown Tiramisu would probably be released by the Turtle in the next round.

"That's right. Bad Beasts can eliminate monsters on the opponent's field with higher ATK than mine. That's why I played six in total: three turtle Bad Beasts and three powder Bad Beasts." Zhu Xiu asked, "Your deck needs two four-star monsters to summon that powerful monster. You can consider playing a Bad Beast to eliminate monsters that can interfere with your deployment during your turn. Do you want to choose the turtle?"

"No, there is the Forbidden Holy Grail in my deck, so I choose Whirlwind." Yuan Qi said, and in Zhu Xiu's strange look, he drew out a Whirlwind and returned the deck to Zhu Xiu.

"Whirlwind... How about this, I'll give you this Resurrection of the Dead card as well. Consider it my admission gift to you." Zhu Xiu said as he placed a Resurrection of the Dead card in Yuan Qi's hand.

"Here's your dormitory key with your address on it. As for your school uniform and other supplies, I'll have someone deliver them to you tonight," Zhu Xiu said. "Welcome to Duelist Academy."

"..."

After the duel, Zhu Xiu led Yuan Qi and the others out of the practice room. Xue Feng saw Zhu Xiu and Nafeili go away and then secretly came over and said, "Great, from today on we are classmates!"

"This is all thanks to you." Yuan Qi returned the Book of Moon to Xuefeng and said, "Without this card, I'm afraid I would have been defeated by the Dean next turn."

"Ahem." Xuefeng scratched her fair cheek embarrassedly and pushed Yuan Qi's hand back. "It's not as exaggerated as you said. As for the Book of the Moon, I'll give it to you."

"Huh?" Yuan Qi asked in confusion, "Isn't this your rarest card?"

"It's okay, I got another rare card today!" Xuefeng said, taking out the Cyclone that Nefeli had given him under Yuan Qi's subtle gaze, "Look, I have a Cyclone too."

Yuan Qi remembered the strange expression on the dean's face at that time and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Hey, let me tell you... Could it be that Tornado isn't actually a particularly rare card?

Yuan Qi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"By the way, classmate Yuan Qi, what did the dean of studies say when he pulled you aside just now?" Xuefeng couldn't help but ask curiously. When they just parted ways, the dean of studies suddenly pulled Yuan Qi aside and said something, and he looked very solemn.

Yuan Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "He was just warning me not to be too proud and complacent. He was afraid that I would become too arrogant due to my youthful vigor."

"But just now, Mr. Nefeli told me that duelists should be arrogant?" Xuefeng was confused. "Which one is right?"

"What they said is all right." Yuan Qi said with a smile.

"To be arrogant, but not to be complacent, isn't that a contradiction?" Xuefeng asked.

"What Mr. Nefeli meant by arrogance probably refers to the determination to win any duel against any opponent, while what the Dean said about not being complacent refers to not losing yourself in victory after the duel," Hara Shichi explained. "While they may seem contradictory, they're actually talking about different things, so they're not actually contradictory."

"A duelist should be arrogant and humble."

"Oh, I understand." Xuefeng frowned and said as if he understood.

Well, she probably, maybe, should understand.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you to the dormitory. Let me tell you, our school has single dormitories, and each dormitory has its own private bathroom!"

As she spoke, the girl excitedly walked in front of Yuan Qi to lead the way.

"Why don't you tell her the truth?" Ai suddenly asked.

Yuan Qi looked at the girl's back and said, "I think it's better for you, idiot, to live a carefree life."

"But... I didn't expect that such a thing would happen inside the Duelist Academy?" Yuan Qi muttered, remembering the instructions given by the dean.

"Yes, because we lost to other colleges in the National College Competition last year, the board of directors actually encouraged students to have a card gambling duel, calling it an iron-blooded education method. Those who refuse will be scolded by others as cowards and unworthy of being called duelists. Those who lose the card deck will be expelled... Isn't this just raising poison?" Ai said dissatisfiedly, with his hands on his hips.

"They even support a group called the Red Lotus Society, and have them specialize in stealing other students' decks and stirring up trouble." Yuan Qi sneered, "Did the board of directors get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"Who knows." Ai sighed, "I thought the atmosphere of the Duelist Academy was very good, so I brought you here. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

"I'm curious about how many sharks will come to me after smelling the fishy smell." Yuan Qi took the Crown Tiramisu in his hand and rubbed it gently.

"You want to be a killer whale?" Ai asked curiously.

"I'm going to be the messenger of justice and give them a personality-correcting punch," Yuan Qi said. "Anyone who's obsessed with stealing other people's decks is probably not a good person."

"Well said, I support you!" Ai nodded.

"Then, could you please show some support through action?" Yuan Qi said expressionlessly, extending his hand. "Including the Moon Book that Xuefeng gave me, I've already gotten three cards today. And you, the guy who keeps saying you're my cheat, haven't even given me a single rare card."

"You...what do you mean by that?" Ai's face flushed. "Didn't I say I'd print it for you today? Why are you in such a hurry? Wait, I'll print it for you tonight. I'll print a card that's even more powerful than Cyclone, Resurrection of the Dead, or Book of the Moon!"

"That's what you said."

"Hmph, are you questioning the power of God?!" Ai turned his head away and said disdainfully.

"No, I trust you very much."

"That's good."

"..."

Chapter 10: Printing cards ten times in a row!

Kika is a gift from the God of Duel to mankind.

It represents both 0, which means nothing, and ∞, which means infinite possibilities.

Taking the original white base card as the origin, humans have developed yellow monster base cards, green magic base cards, red trap base cards, and even purple fusion monster base cards and silver synchro monster base cards.

Duelists can choose different base cards according to their needs to inject their duel power to print cards.

The stronger the duel power, the stronger the cards that can be printed.

"Yuan Qi, fighting power, third stage! Level, low level!" Ai shouted, pointing at Yuan Qi's forehead.

"Could you please not suddenly act funny while commentating?" Yuan Qi complained.

At this moment, the two of them were staying in the Duelist Academy dormitory. Just as Xuefeng had said, the Duelist Academy dormitories were all single rooms with private bathrooms, and...

"This bed is so soft." Yuan Qi exclaimed as he sat on the bed after taking a shower.

"I'm just worried that the simple explanation is too boring." Ai was sitting next to Yuan Qi in a sky blue dress, with her long silver hair scattered on the clean sheets. But if you look closely, you will find that there is an air wall between the girl's body and the bed.

"So it's really like a ghost. I didn't feel anything during the day, but now at night I realize...what are those lights around you?" Yuan Qi asked, looking at the subtle light around Ai's body.

"It is the glory of God, God shines on every one of His people." Ai stretched out her little arms and made what she thought was a loving expression, but in Yuan Qi's eyes, she was just a strange little girl doing a very strange action, which was very funny.

"Okay, okay, stop interrupting and let's print the card." Yuan Qi said.

"You're the one interrupting!" Ai crossed her white legs and sat across from Yuan Qi, continuing, "Anyway, the so-called card imprinting is when a duelist transfers their dueling power into a card. Since you're a human from another world, you don't have dueling power in your body, so any dueling power you generate will be absorbed by me, and then I'll help you imprint it. Do you understand?"

"Ask a question." Yuan Qi stretched out his hand.

"Ask." Ai said.

"Can the dueling power be improved? How to improve it?" Yuan Qi asked.

"The power of dueling, as the name suggests, is the energy generated by dueling. It can be improved by continuing to duel. Theoretically, you will gain the power of dueling regardless of whether you win or lose. However, the power of dueling generally favors the winner, so strictly speaking, the winner gets 70% and the loser gets 20%. There is also a high probability of 10% loss." Ai explained.

"Question two, since ordinary duelists can also do what you did, what is the difference between you and ordinary duelists?" Yuan Qihua had just spoken when he noticed that Ai's eyes in front of him became dangerous.

"Are you comparing me, a god, with an ordinary duelist?" Ai said through gritted teeth.

"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Yuan Qi quickly denied.

"Hmph! Let me tell you, first of all, it's the absorption rate." Ai raised a finger and said, "Humans are only human after all. It's impossible for them to fully absorb the power of the duel. Depending on their individual constitution, the absorption rate is generally between 50% and 80%. As a god, my absorption rate will be as high as 100%!"

"And it's not just how much Duelist Power you absorb that determines how much Duelist Power you can use. Part of the Duelist Power will be absorbed by your body, part of it will automatically increase your Duelist level, and the remaining part is the Duelist Power you can only use after you master it."

"The higher the duel level, the purer the duel power in the body, and the more powerful the printed card."

"As a god, I have the highest dueling level and the purest dueling power. In other words, with the same dueling power, an ordinary duelist can only print ten cards after absorbing it, but I can print a hundred cards, and the quality is also the highest!"

"Moreover, I can also print cards accurately according to my own ideas. Unlike ordinary duelists who print cards at random, as long as I have enough dueling power, I can print whatever card I want!" After Ai finished speaking, he closed his mouth and looked straight at Yuan Qi, indicating that he should say something.

"I understand. You are worthy of being the God of Duel. Your strength astounds me!" Yuan Qi read.

"I'm glad you understand." Ai nodded.

"Then what cards can we print with our Duel Power now?" Yuan Qi asked.

"Because you only fought two duels, the Duel Power you gained wasn't much. Adding the remaining Duel Power from printing the Golem Dessert, I can only print ten cards at most, or... precisely one N card."

"Choose," Ai said, "a ten-hit combo or a regular N card."

"Of course... ten in a row!" Yuan Qi said without hesitation. Ten or one, is there any need to choose?

"I thought so too!" Ai waved her hand, and ten white base cards appeared between the two of them.

"Are they all white base cards?" Yuan Qi asked.

"These base cards are all created by me. Base cards like yellow, green, and yellow are all products of human innovation on this type of base card. If you want that kind of base card... you have to spend money to buy it. Do you have money?" Ai looked at Yuan Qidao unhappily.

"No, sorry, please continue." Yuan Qi said that his pockets were empty.

"Then... let's begin." Ai's slender fingers touched a white base card on the far right, and then colorful light poured out from her fingers, slowly enveloping the card. Then the card itself emitted a somewhat dazzling light, and the yellow card image began to slowly appear.

"This color... is an effect monster!" Yuan Qi held his breath and stared at this moment. Soon, the name and star rating along with the card surface appeared in front of Yuan Qi:

救援猫：星级/4、属性/地、种族/兽、攻300/守100，这个卡名的效果1回合只能使用1次。①：把场上的这张卡送去墓地才能发动。从卡组把2只3星以下的兽族怪兽特殊召唤。这个效果特殊召唤的怪兽的效果无效化，结束阶段破坏。

"What do you think? I told you I'm awesome. This is the first card I printed and I've got a rare monster like the Rescue Cat!" Ai said excitedly.

"..."

"Say something, why are you silent?" Ai tilted his head and asked curiously.

"I regret it." Yuan Qi said in a depressed mood.

"Why? Isn't Rescue Cat great?" Ai held up Rescue Cat and waved it in front of Yuan Qi. "Look, it's cute and powerful. One card can Special Summon two monsters!"

"But this card is useless in my current build." Yuan Qi held his forehead and said, "I was careless. No matter how rare the card is, if I can't invest in it, I can only look at the picture. I shouldn't have chosen the ten-draw. Printing a usable N card would have been the right choice."

"Is it too late for me to print an n card now?"

"It's too late." Ai pointed at the second card and said, "I had already printed the second card while you were talking."

Yuan Qi looked at the printed card and suddenly his eyes went dark.

Magic Card: Flame Dance - "Tianji"

这个卡名的卡在1回合只能发动1张。①：作为这张卡的发动时的效果处理，可以从卡组把1只4星以下的兽战士族怪兽加入手卡。②：只要这张卡在魔法与陷阱区域存在，自己场上的兽战士族怪兽的攻击力上升100。

Chapter 11: Nero Arisa

"Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!" Nefeli preached passionately at the podium. "With just a simple Fusion Magic Card, we can skip the tedious deployment process and summon a powerful Terminal. Is there any summoning method more wonderful than this?!"

"Is he like this all the time?" Yuan Qi, who was sitting in the audience, complained.

"Teacher Nafeli has always been very 'lively' in his lectures." Xuefeng whispered beside him.

"It's so boring. I, the God of Duel, actually have to accompany you here to listen to such basic courses." Ai put his hands on Yuan Qi's chest and lay on Yuan Qi's back.

By the way, because he is a spirit, Yuan Qi did not feel any weight.

"If you're bored, don't stay outside." Yuan Qi glanced at Xuefeng beside him and whispered.

"Where would I go if I didn't stay outside?" Ai yawned.

"Huh? As my plug-in, shouldn't you be living in my body according to the settings?" Yuan Qi asked curiously.

Ai glanced at Yuan Qi indifferently and said disdainfully: "Haha, how can a mortal body contain the soul of a god?"

"I simply connected my soul to yours to prevent my spirit from collapsing without a host."

"Wow, the soul of a god." Yuan Qi sneered, "A god can actually print a mortal bone card like the Little White Rabbit. Could you be the God of Little White Rabbit?"

Yesterday, apart from Rescue Cat and Flame Dance - "Tianji", the remaining cards were "Reinforcement", two "Overload Responders", a Scrap Scarecrow, and the rest were all mortal bones like Little White Rabbit.

"What do you mean? Aren't there powerful cards like Overload Respond and Scarecrow? What exactly are you dissatisfied with?" Ai frowned, then suddenly seemed to understand something and revealed a sly smile, "Ah, I get it!"

"What do you know?" Yuan Qi suddenly had an ominous premonition.
