The Chapter get Retranslated
When Lyman Banner, who always kept his composure and impeccable acting skills, saw the results produced by You Xuan's small, recently established laboratory, he almost fell silent.
He wanted to say that what they had was a bit too much.
"Teacher, please see if there's anything improper in our research work," You Xuan politely asked, "Please guide us, Teacher."
Lyman Banner: "..."
Guide what?
My suggestion is, the principal should consider disbanding the academy's research department and have you guys start working today.
People say you live long enough, you see everything. Lyman Banner thought he had lived for so long, but he really hadn't seen anything this abnormal before.
Bastion Misawa and Alexis Rhodes were actually a bit curious as to why You Xuan would invite Lyman Banner to be the main guiding teacher. In their eyes, he was just someone slacking off, but out of respect for their teacher, they didn't say anything.
But considering You Xuan's performance so far, it was clear that whatever he said or did had its own reasons. Many times, his actions seemed unorthodox at first glance, even incomprehensible by a duelist's common sense. But the final results often proved that he had his own logic.
Gradually, both of them, having grown accustomed to him, accepted this setup. This included often following You Xuan's temporarily incomprehensible instructions during research, and usually, You Xuan would turn out to be right.
Lyman Banner pondered for a moment and said, "I do have a suggestion."
He picked up the chubby Pharaoh (Cat) again, stroking it as he spoke.
"I have a friend who has quite a reputation in the field of card making and also some connections," Lyman Banner coughed.
You Xuan nodded, listening, and didn't bother to delve into whether this friend of the teacher was actually the teacher himself.
"Anyway, it seems that Industrial Illusions is holding an academic event recently, some kind of conference, I think?" Lyman Banner slapped his forehead. "Oh, well, anyway, there's such an event.
If you can present your results at that conference, you can get funding from Industrial Illusions, and it's said there's even a chance to get the attention of Mr. Pegasus, the Creator of Duel Monsters.
Although the registration deadline for the conference has long passed, my friend knows some people at Industrial Illusions. If I ask them, it might not be too late to participate now..."
"I see," You Xuan mused.
Being able to get sponsorship from both Industrial Illusions and Kaiba Corporation was good. Participating in a public conference could also expand the influence of their laboratory, which would be beneficial for attracting more personnel and resources to improve development efficiency in the future.
You Xuan thought that he actually had some acquaintances at Industrial Illusions now, and it would be even better if he had the chance to visit their warehouse someday.
"Then thank you, Teacher."
Bastion Misawa and Alexis Rhodes felt somewhat dreamlike for a moment.
After all, they were just students who had enrolled not long ago. Who would have thought they would suddenly be participating in an academic event? And they even had quite a few achievements on hand.
Here, Alexis Rhodes' Cyber Angel trio from the anime, Benten, Vrash, and Dakini, had all received upgrades from anime cards to real cards.
To Alexis Rhodes, this was an astonishing achievement she hadn't imagined before, but You Xuan felt it was just the beginning.
Upgrading anime cards to real cards was just the first step in development. He then began to guide Alexis Rhodes, helping her expand her thinking.
"I think the current mindset is a bit rigid," You Xuan said. "Including mainstream research, everyone sees Cyber Angels as representatives of the aggressive Ritual stream."
Alexis Rhodes wondered, "Isn't that... not true?"
As the owner of the Cyber Angel archetype, she should have had the most say, but after researching with You Xuan for a while, she was no longer so confident.
"Yes and no. Cyber Angels excel at aggression, but precisely because of that, their potential has been overlooked," You Xuan said. "I've recently discovered a new approach.
New Ritual Monsters for Cyber Angels don't necessarily have to be for assisting combos or offense. I believe Cyber Angels have defensive potential that has been overlooked by everyone until now."
That's right, he was referring to Cyber Angel Natasha.
A Level 5 Cyber Angel Ritual Monster, with only 1000 ATK/DEF, and all three of its effects are defensive compared to other Cyber Angels.
Its first effect allows you to select one monster on your field and gain Life Points equal to half of that monster's ATK.
Its second effect allows you to negate an attack when a Ritual Monster you control is attacked.
Its third effect is the key. While this card is in the GY, by banishing other "Cyber Angel" monsters from your GY, you can Special Summon it, and it gains control of one monster on your opponent's field.
Instead of all the fighting, You Xuan found this kind of NTR effect more interesting. It was a pity that no one seemed to be thinking of strengthening this deck in that direction right now.
However, he had high hopes for Alexis Rhodes. Although her destiny draw ability was far from Jaden Yuki's level of spontaneously manifesting cards as needed by the atmosphere in actual duels, it was already outstanding compared to ordinary people.
Give her some hints, point her in a direction, and what if she really manifested it?
When the world saw a Cyber Angel with a unique style compared to the past, they would surely feel joy.
Duel Academy, night.
An unknown room, seemingly a forgotten corner of the academy. A faint candlelight flickered, as if manipulated by an invisible force, like an uneasy eye peering at everything.
In the dim candlelight, three white-robed figures sat around an old wooden table, their hoods casting shadows over most of their faces, their white robes glowing faintly in the gloom.
Their movements were slow and solemn, as if performing some ancient ritual, manipulating something on the table they sat around.
A Spirit Board?
That's right, it looked like the Yu-Gi-Oh! card "Spirit Board" that Ryo Bakura used against Yugi Muto in Duelist Kingdom. When the five letters "DEATH" were assembled on the field, he would directly achieve a Ritual Summon victory.
However, what the three white-robed figures were operating was not a holographic projection of the Spirit Board, but rather a physical object made to resemble the card's image.
This was a summoning ritual.
"Great Lord Artificial Human, if you can hear our devout calling... please descend here!"
A cold wind poured in through the window cracks. The candlelight flickered violently, then was abruptly blown out. The three white-robed figures swayed eerily, then were swallowed by darkness.
In the dark shadows, a pair of dark red eyes lit up.
They were filled with greed and hunger.
