Chapter 342

Spirit Power Studies.

Although Tenjou Hikari's spirit adaptability has reached a terrifying "eight stars," which is the best among his peers, only a little worse than Jaden, who looks like four stars but actually doesn't know how high he is, if he can improve his spirit power, Tenjou Hikari would definitely be very happy.

In any case, Professor Viper is a professional in this world who studies and develops spirit power. The relevant knowledge he masters must be much stronger than Tenjou Hikari, who came to this world halfway, right?

Plus Tenjou Hikari himself wanted to see what tricks Professor Viper had, so after finishing the ordinary courses the next day, he went directly to the conference room.

In the conference room, there were friends who came early, and some students who came one after another. Tenjou Hikari saw Jim, greeted him, and sat down beside him with a smile.

"Tenjou, you came to this class too?" Jim sat next to O'Brien. They greeted Tenjou Hikari together and asked Tenjou Hikari curiously.

"Of course, if you can increase your spirit power, no matter how you think about it, it's worth listening to, right?"

The two nodded.

"Speaking of which, Tenjou, where is that... Oxygen guy? Why haven't I seen him?"

"Cough, cough, cough, his name is Bastion Misawa." Tenjou Hikari coughed twice very awkwardly.

In front of people, he likes to play this kind of meme of not remembering names, but behind people, he still has to correct other people's titles: "He went to the X-Dimension to participate in diplomatic activities... Speaking of which, it's indeed a bit long."

Tenjou Hikari felt a little worried about Bastion in his heart, but considering that he went to the X-Dimension with the main force of Kaiba Corp, if something really happened, Kaiba himself would definitely be there, so he didn't need to worry too much about this, and just explained it simply.

"So that's it..." Jim nodded.

With such an opportunity, it is indeed more meaningful and important than attending classes at the academy. If he found any archaeological site he hadn't seen before, he would definitely ask for leave, suspend school, and then rush to the scene to visit, right?

"O'Brien, Professor Viper is a professor at your academy, right? Has he taught this before?" Tenjou Hikari asked O'Brien curiously by the way.

O'Brien shook his head.

"No, the professor prefers to cultivate military quality and practical ability." Even he was curious and couldn't help but look at the podium.

He is not an ordinary student.

Actually, he is a mercenary hired by Pegasus specifically to monitor Professor Viper, but even so, he had never seen Professor Viper teach this kind of course.

With the ringing of the bell, the large conference room was packed.

Perhaps everyone was very interested in increasing spirit power, or perhaps because it was the first course of a professor from another academy, many students also wanted to see what it was like, so they all rushed to the scene.

And just as Professor Viper walked to the podium and scanned the people below, he frowned slightly.

Just at this time, the door of the conference room was opened again, and two figures, one red and one blue, ran into the classroom together. The red figure noticed that everyone in the classroom was looking at him, sweating on his forehead, and couldn't help but laugh: "Sorry, sorry, Johan got a bit lost—I went to find him—"

"Sorry..." Johan laughed awkwardly together.

Many people looked like they were watching a good show. Being late for the first class, and at this critical point, they must be punished, right?

But they didn't expect that Professor Viper just glanced at them and said casually: "Sit."

Jaden hurriedly clasped his hands to thank him, looked at Johan, and ran to the vicinity of Tenjou Hikari.

Many people really admired his courage. Being late, he dared to run to Tenjou Hikari, the student sitting in the front row, facing the professor.

But once they thought that he was a ruthless person who could sleep in Professor Crowler's class, everyone could only pretend not to know about this.

Serenity and Lulu complained. Clearly, because of Tenjou Hikari, Jaden had been trying hard to attend classes normally instead of going fishing, but because there was an extra senior, Johan, the two of them lived too casually together.

"Then, quiet."

Professor Viper walked to the podium calmly and shouted twice. As if there was some strange loudspeaker, everyone in the conference room heard the same volume of sound.

Just this hand, many students' eyes lit up.

This is the real deal!

"Oh... is that it? Spirit Power Application 13..." A professor recognized this move, "I didn't expect Viper, who looks rough, to be a specialized researcher."

Spirit Power Application 13?

Professor Crowler showed a trace of doubt on his face.

Other professors who came to visit the first course noticed his expression, thinking he was pretending not to understand, and didn't open their mouths to explain.

The so-called "Spirit Power Application" refers to application techniques developed by Kaiba Corp and other spirit researchers, including various abilities to use spirit power in daily life and duels, currently developed to "16."

13 refers to the "volume" ability.

This point refers to the logic generated by the fact that the party with the louder voice in the duel seems to draw stronger cards.

On stage.

After Professor Viper finished performing this move, he also took the opportunity to start explaining things related to "Spirit Power Application."

That's right—

Professor Viper, in this world, specifically studies "Spirit Power Studies."

Tenjou Hikari nodded constantly while listening to the explanation in the audience.

He really underestimated this professor.

Before, he thought this Professor Viper would distribute bracelets like in the original work, collect students' duel energy, and use it to resurrect Yubel. After all, there are many reasons to want students to wear bracelets.

For example, distributing bracelets in class, saying it's to test spirit power, etc. Professor Viper has plenty of excuses and reasons.

But he is not like Declan Akaba, who purely cultivates students to go to extremes or be soldiers. As a person who became a professor by his own ability, he naturally has his own strengths and knowledge in this world.

No wonder Yubel still found this professor in this world full of spirits and dimensional travel.

It turns out that what he specifically studies is spirit power!

If this is the case, maybe it's actually not necessary to let students duel to collect duel energy?

"And according to my research, I gradually discovered a very convenient method to improve a duelist's spirit power." Professor Viper said calmly.

"Eh!!"

"Really?"

"Professor, can ordinary people learn it too! I still can't see spirits, can I learn it!?"

The conference room suddenly exploded, chattering and trying to get an accurate answer from Professor Viper.

Viper raised both hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Then, he opened his mouth and said this "secret": "It's a very simple thing, and that is—understanding."

Understanding?

"Understand the story of each card, understand the story of your own cards, understand the secrets behind the cards, then make connections, and understand the emotions and feelings of those cards." Professor Viper said with his hands behind his back,

"Just like that student Tenjou Hikari, he relied on his understanding of Fusion and his persistence in Fusion, so his spirit power has grown by leaps and bounds in the past two years; that student named O'Brien adventures in mountains of knives and seas of fire to improve his fire spirit adaptability; and that student, who seems to be named Jim, is naturally good at learning and digging, so he specializes in archaeology, so he understands geology and fossils so well, so his spirit power can gradually increase, attracting more fossil spirits to approach."

That's right—

Many students realized.

But then, those students who thought of this couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Where would they have Jim's talent, and they couldn't do the "extreme" things Tenjou Hikari did at all, so how could they do the things they did.

Bang bang bang—

Professor Viper patted the blackboard.

"Quiet!"

"Is this the only level of the students at Duel Academy headquarters!?"

The students gradually quieted down and stared at him.

"Duel Academy has a large number of interest cultivation departments, such as tennis clubs, archery clubs, or the famous Fusion club in the outside world. These interests will make you grow and improve your spirit power.

However, I know that among you, some are gifted, and some, even if they join the activity department, just go through the motions and mix days.

This is very normal."

He explained: "Compared to those who are gifted, those who have had adventures since childhood, and those who know what they want to do since birth, the vast majority of you stumbled into this place confusedly.

However—

You idiots!

Have you forgotten!

The reason you came to this school, this closed island, is precisely because... you like [Dueling]!"

A word wakes up the dreamer. Many students who had some regrets because of Viper's words suddenly felt like they had been injected with chicken blood.

That's right!

As long as you duel, as long as you duel, it's fine!

Everyone likes dueling, so dueling is fine!

Duel more!

Tenjou Hikari tapped his pen lightly on the side and wrote a few lines in his notebook.

Although the development is different from the memory, it still ended up like this after twists and turns?

However, this seems to be a good thing.

After all, this is not some crooked way, but a method of truly teaching students how to become stronger.

Professor Viper saw that the students' enthusiasm had been mobilized, nodded slightly, then opened his lecture notes, and said: "Then, before you understand what kind of interest you really want, you might as well listen to what I want to talk about today."

"Please tell us, Professor!" Someone cheered.

Professor Viper nodded gently.

"Then, let me tell you the story of the [King]."

?

Tenjou Hikari was stunned in the audience.

Jaden behind him pricked up his ears curiously.

Professor Viper's course content was somewhat useful even to him, and it wasn't the kind of boring content, so he was quite interested in listening.

And then, Professor Viper told the story of a "King."

Legend has it that the King was born noble, inherited powerful dark power, ruled countless dimensions, and had many strong men under his command. However, the kingdom was invaded, and he had to become severe.

In order to protect those weak existences, in order to defeat those foreign enemies, he had to become cold, become more cruel than the enemy, and become unscrupulous. He ruled his subordinates with cruel means, oppressed everything he could see, just to let "peace" last forever.

"This is too stupid!" Some students laughed out loud.

"That's right, isn't this just a tyrant?"

Jaden clutched his chest, not knowing why, feeling his heart ache.

Clearly, what he hates most on weekdays is this kind of self-talk, saying that he is doing evil for the sake of others.

"I can understand a little bit." Johan said on the side, "For this guy, he doesn't know what the future will be like at all, so he can only choose the path that is most convenient and most likely to be realized for him, right?"

"Eh? Johan, you actually think this is nothing?" Syrus on the side didn't understand, "I absolutely cannot accept this kind of thing—isn't this doing the same thing as Declan Akaba?"

"No." Tenjou Hikari interrupted their conversation on the side, "Declan Akaba knew this was wrong, was self-righteous, and actively invaded; while this [King] just made the wrong choice among countless choices."

"Jaden."

?

Jaden didn't know why Tenjou Hikari suddenly turned the topic to him.

"Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future." Tenjou Hikari leaned on his chin slightly, narrowed his eyes, and whispered his thoughts, "For past things that have become history, no matter what, they cannot be changed.

So for us, the most important thing is not to deny or whitewash the past, but... to acknowledge the facts, and then change the present, to prevent such things from happening again."

Jaden scratched the back of his head, took a deep breath, and laughed: "Hahaha, Ah-Hikari, of course I understand!"

Tenjou Hikari shrugged indifferently, trying to make his appearance look as relaxed as possible, just like a casual chat.

On the side, Chazz looked at Jaden like this and couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.

"The above is the story of that King, and what we are going to talk about today is..." He slowly took out a box of cards, laid them down, and then the projector automatically flashed the patterns of these cards.

"In the story of the [King], defeated as a villain, but actually the [righteous side]... Lightsworn." Viper flipped through the book and told the last course, "I believe that many students have already obtained the recognition of Lightsworn at the critical point, but what you know is still just a glimpse of Lightsworn. If you want to improve your fit with Lightsworn and understand the secrets behind it, it is indispensable."

He talked about some Lightsworn-related content, and a class passed like this.

To be honest, it was really detailed, and even Tenjou Hikari couldn't help but write down a lot of content in his notebook.

On the one hand, he had been in this world for a long time, and many memories from his previous life were not so clear; on the other hand, he only knew a general idea about Lightsworn, and he actually didn't know many of the knowledge.

And Professor Viper not only supplemented this knowledge but also talked about the great wars and things experienced by the righteous world dimension in this world. These were things Tenjou Hikari didn't know, which was very helpful for him to learn and master "Lightsworn" and then find a way to get the opportunity to see the "God Dragon of Light."

This is much more intuitive than before.

"Students who didn't hear about the spirits they want to understand don't need to be discouraged." He slowly scanned the students, staying the longest on the face of Kagurazaka.

Kagurazaka's own calculation ability and deck control ability were exceptionally excellent compared to ordinary students, but he was a little weaker than his peers in one aspect—his spirit power was quite terrible.

It was precisely because of this that when he understood, he was very interested in the secrets behind every card, because any card could increase his spirit power.

"In the next semester, I will gradually explain the stories, characteristics, and preferences behind every force I know, so that everyone can better understand how to get close to their friends and partners. Even if you are not interested in these forces, it doesn't matter, because next, I will also explain some academic knowledge about [Fusion] monsters that only our dimension knows."

He closed the book gently and said to the students below: "Believe in my professional ability, you won't be disappointed."

Clap clap clap—

Tenjou Hikari took the lead in applauding.

Subsequently, the enduring applause rang throughout the conference room, and even Professor Crowler took the lead in applauding.

Clearly, Professor Viper's class made all students and teachers very satisfied.

Precisely because of this—some students who were eager to become stronger couldn't help but have the idea of asking Professor Viper questions later. After class, they surrounded him, holding their own cards, shouting Professor Viper, eager to know the knowledge that could make them stronger.

Especially Kagurazaka, he always felt that the professor took special care of him in class. Every time he asked a question, he would prioritize answering him, and he even made eye contact with him after class...

The professor must have discovered his talent!

Finally, finally, there was a stranger other than the club president who recognized his talent!
