That’s why you’ll never understand how hard it is for ordinary people like us to make a name for ourselves and climb the ladder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obaro clenched his right fist and looked at the back of his hand. On it was a pitch-black inverted cross—the power he had gained by selling his soul to a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think being a teacher at Duel Academy is a good job?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pay isn't high, there's no social status, and on top of teaching, you have to look after those damn little things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duelists are all self-centered guys. To cultivate the 'duelist heart' in students, the school intentionally indulges their whims, letting them find their own paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about us!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are we teachers supposed to just act as their nannies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullshit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I became a teacher is simple: teachers at Duel Academy have the chance to meet all sorts of social elites!\" He pointed back at Cronos. \"How could someone like you, who sits in a high position, delegates work to subordinates, and spends every day drinking tea and listening to classical music in an office, ever understand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"End your turn already!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cronos took a deep breath. He looked at his hand and set two cards facedown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not offer a rebuttal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that is no reason for you to join Akaba Reo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reason? I have as many of those as I want!\" Obaro drew a card rapidly. \"I don't care what kind of person Akaba Reo is, and as for what happens when other worlds are invaded, that has nothing to do with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only care about one thing: as long as I join the Fusion Army, I can legitimately teach those damn students according to the Fusion Army's standards. I can demand the same standards from every student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides—Cronos... heh, Acting Chancellor, do you really think Akaba Reo is the only one who wants to stir up trouble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me tell you, this world is full of ambitious people and lunatics looking to grab profits. Even without Akaba Reo, our conflict with other dimensions would have erupted eventually. And now, with Professor Akaba firing the first shot, more and more people will join his ranks or act under his banner in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his right hand, his mouth curling into a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't be the only one who has been [Blessed]. There will definitely be others who think like me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My turn!\" He drew sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. Here it comes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I activate the Spell Card, Hand Destruction! Both players send two cards to the Graveyard. Then, we draw two cards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cronos frowned at the cards in his hand. After a moment of thought, he helplessly sent the cards to the Graveyard and drew two new ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like those were useful cards.\" Obaro sneered. \"Mine are even more useful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I activate the Spell Card, Monster Reborn!\" He revealed a card from his hand. \"Heh, revive once more, my Darklord, Darklord Superbia!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darklord Superbia, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 2900.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Superbia's effect activates again!

The strongest Zerato warrior—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darklord Zerato!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright red sphere of blood fell from the sky. Cronos could smell the scent of fresh blood.

Then, blood permeated the entire space. The dragon and the giant began to melt like ice cream, becoming part of the blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the end! Acting Chancellor Cronos!\" Obaro laughed maniacally. \"Once you're finished, no one will be able to stop us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Darklord Superbia, direct attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open facedown card!\" Seeing this, Cronos flipped his card without hesitation. \"Continuous Trap Card, Ancient Gear Reborn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once per turn, if I control no monsters, I can revive one Ancient Gear monster from the Graveyard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revive, Ancient Gear Golem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mechanical dragon reassembled and appeared on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monsters Special Summoned by this effect gain 200 ATK.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient Gear Golem, ATK: 3000 → 3200.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obaro snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, he couldn't break through the front line to attack Cronos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he could still activate Zerato's effect to destroy all of Cronos's monsters, that would mean entering Main Phase 2, and he wouldn't be able to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... it wasn't a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darklord resources only increased the longer the duel went on; a war of attrition was very favorable for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Set one card, end turn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At this moment, Zerato's effect—because he activated the effect to destroy the opponent's monsters, he is destroyed during the End Phase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he didn't mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His facedown card was Bottomless Trap Hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also a Trap Card that could affect Ancient Gears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, more importantly, Cronos trying to finish him off while he had 8000 Life Points was just wishful thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor Obaro.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, what is it?
