Chapter 348: Brainstorming and Drawing Inferences (4k, seeking monthly tickets)

The duel ended.

The image slowly disappeared.

"Won!!"

"Yeah!"

Some students who supported Lancelot cheered excitedly, while those who wanted to support Tenjou Hikari more but chose to support the "protagonist" Artorius in their hearts in this game regretted it and said it was a pity.

And as the duel ended, two cards flew up from beside Tenjou Hikari and Johan.

They were "Noble Knight Artorius" and "Noble Knight Lancelot."

The two cards collided in the air, and then, like fencing, they bumped into each other twice more.

"Eh—"

The onlookers watched this scene in surprise.

And accompanied by two powerful metallic collision sounds, Lancelot’s card flew to a higher place, while Artorius fell down dejectedly.

"Winner, Lancelot side—"

Lancelot’s card spun twice in the air, as if it were a boxer in the ring. Then, a huge magic sword flew out in the air, drawing its name and leaving it in the air.

Accompanied by the end of the duel, Tenjou Hikari felt a sense of heroism rise in him out of thin air.

He shook his hands in place, and the numbness caused by the intense clapping slowly dissipated.

Not just him, some of the more sensitive students among those who supported him vaguely felt as if they had received some kind of inspiration, and vaguely produced some impulse, appearing exceptionally excited.

Professor Paladin clapped his hands, and then the students and teachers also clapped quickly.

"Thank you very much, you two students. You brought a very excellent duel to everyone. Students, come, let’s give our knights a round of applause!"

The applause became louder, and Tenjou Hikari and Johan thanked the audience under the professor’s help.

Because they were wearing "armor," the two couldn't bend over much, so they just nodded to indicate.

Then, the two began to walk to the side, quickly dismantling the armor and helmets worn over their clothes.

Although there was air conditioning, in this season, wearing heavy metal clothing over clothes was still too stuffy.

And at this time, Professor Paladin also began to continue his class.

"Students, some of you who are more familiar or more sensitive to spirit power should have felt it by now, right?" He said in class, "Feeling a kind of hot blood, a kind of impulse, just wanting to put on armor now and fight with your enemies—"

The students looked at each other, but had to nod in recognition of this professor’s content.

Indeed, some of them, even if they didn't feel it, after Professor Paladin mentioned it, everyone could feel it.

After all, Duel Academy students had been learning spirit power since the first grade, and only those like Ruri, who were born with very high spirit power but were just getting started in application, would have no idea what was going on.

"If everyone felt hot-blooded, melancholy, regret, or pity, then I can clearly tell everyone, that’s right, this is precisely the method I spoke of to find what you love and like through [Role-Playing Duel] and improve your compatibility."

"Eh! Professor, can it be done so simply!" A student raised his hand excitedly.

If it could be done just by role-playing and supporting Lancelot or Artorius, wouldn't it be more convenient and simpler than the two professors’ classes yesterday? And it was even more interesting!

"This student, although I am very happy you can be happy, it is a pity that it is not possible."

Professor Paladin shook his hands gently and said with a smile, "How could there be such a good thing?"

*Ugh.*

Some students who wanted to take this opportunity to become powerful duelists easily suddenly wilted like eggplants hit by frost.

Professor Paladin picked up two cards casually and showed them to the students: "These two cards, Lancelot and Artorius, are cards I accidentally discovered during a trip. And then, through my years of research and study, I finally successfully realized my understanding and vision of [Role-Playing Duel]."

Paladin looked at the cards in his hand, full of smiles:

"As long as you are within the range of these two cards and play the relevant roles, you can experience the feeling of being on the battlefield. It even affects the power of both duelists."

So powerful?

Many people looked at the cards in his hand.

"Of course, the premise of everything is that the participants and the audience recognize and identify with this kind of entertainment. If they don't recognize it, then they have no effect," he waved the cards in his hand gently, adding, "In response, everyone should also be able to feel this power.

They can maximize everyone’s acceptance of [Role-Playing Duel], making everyone hot-blooded and impulsive.

This impulse is not an increase in power, but a force that urges people to learn and progress."

He put away the cards and continued: "Of course, if everyone treats this three-minute heat as a joke and it ends, then it has no other use at all."

"And if everyone wants to improve their perception through this role-playing method, understand what kind of duel route you really want to take, or simply learn while playing, then I will talk about how to use spirit power and cards to make simple role-playing equipment and environments."

He put on his glasses and began to explain the details and methods of role-playing duels earnestly.

Honestly, Tenjou Hikari listened very seriously.

Not only because he dueled on stage himself, but also because...

This duel method, he could replicate it!

Tenjou Hikari thought while listening, multitasking.

He had actually been thinking about what the future direction of the Fusion Department was.

Although the Fusion Department had the support of Professor Chronos, so new students could get Ancient Gear pre-built decks, the Ancient Gear pre-built decks certainly wouldn't be suitable for all students. And although excellent students could apply to use other decks here, they weren't their own decks.

Many students, because of their family background, had no choice but to duel like this.

And the "dimensional gate" system that Tenjou Hikari could leave for future Fusion Department students required a large amount of alchemical knowledge. Even if it could be used for a few years, after a long time, Tenjou Hikari couldn't spare the time to come back for maintenance. By then, the students of the Fusion Department would only be able to stare blankly.

After all, compared to dueling, "alchemy" was quite complex and cumbersome, and not everyone had the talent to learn alchemy.

But now, this Professor Paladin gave Tenjou Hikari a brand-new idea.

The Fusion Department had money, people, dueling arenas, and huge projection screens.

If every week, everyone in the Fusion Department chose a theme, and then made their own costumes and weapons to duel...

It felt like an effective method!

As long as this method was passed down as a tradition, it could actually continue to run.

Tenjou Hikari could even find spirits willing to cooperate with him to provide venues and complete trials like the Paladin duel.

A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and he remembered one.

Right—

Gladiator Beasts!

Tenjou Hikari immediately thought of a spirit dimension that could achieve this "atmospheric" role-playing duel.

That was Gladiator Beasts!

Tenjou Hikari had originally planned to take time to go to the Gladiator Beast dimension later to see those Gladiator Beast spirits he had always wanted to see but had no time to see.

Now that he had this technology, he was naturally very interested and decided to go there to see next.

Not only him, some knowledgeable people, or those who had their own understanding of future development, also started thinking while listening to Professor Paladin’s class.

Although Professor Paladin’s class content was far less practical than the previous spirit power studies and demonology in terms of efficiency and growth speed, this was a set of work-rest balanced and effective things that everyone could participate in.

Compared to the spirit world secrets that were hard to know, and the ritual arts accompanied by danger, if Professor Paladin’s role-playing duel had no spirits, perhaps it wouldn't increase anything for people, but the problem was...

Everyone thinking about this possessed or knew "spirits."

For example, Professor Chronos, who listened and felt that this thing seemed very suitable for promotion in the future Duel Academy.

First of all, as a course, this class was not complicated. Although it required some auxiliary role-playing items, for the multi-talented teachers of Duel Academy, it was not a problem at all.

And even if there were no teachers interested in tailoring among the teachers, they could entrust KaibaCorp to make them.

As for the fact that without the power of spirits, it was difficult to complete such "knight duels," there was actually no need to consider too much.

On one hand, Duel Academy had cooperated with Ancient Gear spirits for many years. He could visit and negotiate in person, and should be able to get the support of some spirits, and then build this platform and look for excellent students to inherit their power.

On the other hand, this island had various real environments, which were very consistent with the requirements, allowing people to be on the scene. In necessary moments, students could even duel in a volcano, feeling the heat of the magma, striving for 100% realism.

Moreover, Duel Academy had more choices, allowing students to sign up according to their preferences...

The more he thought, the more excited he became!

Professor Chronos couldn't help but sigh that these professors from the branch schools were really not simple! Professor Paladin’s course content was too easy to replicate!

He couldn't suppress his excitement in his heart and decided to talk to this professor after class.

For courses that were beneficial to the development of the school and students, it was a pity to just teach them here; they should be promoted to the whole world!

Furthermore, even Professor Viper couldn't help but nod repeatedly while listening to Professor Paladin’s class.

Amazing...

As expected of Paladin, a famous scholar in the West who became famous through his own research. Using the role-playing method for dueling, even I hadn't thought of it—

Professor Viper couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If... if it weren't for his own affairs, because of the extravagance in his heart, he would definitely be very happy now.

The highest heads of all Duel Academies in the world gathered together. Everyone had their own ideas and directions for becoming stronger, and as the best batch of duel scholars in the world, they were actually drawing inferences from one another when teaching.

For example, Professor Seraph’s Demonology yesterday actually benefited Viper a lot. Today, Professor Paladin’s class made his eyes light up again, as if he saw a brand-new world.

He scanned the people around him slightly with the corner of his eye.

Besides him, there were several other professors who hadn't taken the stage to teach yet.

What abilities did they have?

Would they have any strange teaching and understanding of spirits and dueling?

Once this thought arose, his instinct as a teacher began to revive.

He exhaled slowly.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it and everyone was curious, Professor Paladin’s class slowly ended.

Accompanied by the ringing of the bell, several students were still somewhat unsatisfied.

In this situation, Professor Paladin chuckled, clapped his hands again, and said: "Then, finally, if everyone still feels hot-blooded until now, and even wants to wave a wooden stick or something... you can come to me after lunch.

Perhaps, you are the kind of duelist who is very interested in knights?

Similarly, those students who are very interested in knight duels can also come to me, or simply role-play knights and attack each other during breaks."

He rummaged through his deck and took out a few cards, showing them.

Noble Arms - Excalibur, Noble Arms - Arondight, Noble Arms - Galatine, Noble Arms - Clarent...

In Professor Paladin’s hand, there were many Noble Arms Equip Spell cards.

Clearly, not only was his name Paladin, he had Noble Knights in his hand, and even the Equip Spell cards were complete. He was a genuine "British Sword" duelist.

"Honestly, these Noble Arms have always wanted to find a suitable user. If any student is truly recognized, I will not be stingy," Paladin said with a smile.

Then, he put away the cards like this, clipped the lesson plan, prepared to tidy up the costumes used for the performance, and prepared to leave. Several students saw this and volunteered directly, raised their hands and shouted twice, ran to his side and helped him take things, clearly prepared to continue asking for advice later. And other students, in the discussion, scattered one after another. Many people still had excitement and impulse on their faces, clearly prepared to role-play something with friends later to try.

In the most basic situation, without any auxiliary equipment or spirits, according to the professor’s method, this most primitive role-playing might be the most enjoyable role-playing duel.

Tenjou Hikari put away his notes and stretched.

The first two days of the new semester felt like his brain was about to be filled with knowledge. Every professor had his own unique features, and he was really looking forward to the next professor’s class.

"*Hmm—*" On the other side, Johan finally came to his senses after being in a daze for a long time.

"Decided!" His eyes were sparkling with excitement.

He finally found it, found a way to let them become stronger together without abandoning his family!

Yes!

Wasn't this always right in front of his eyes!

It was—

This startled Judai: "What’s wrong?"

"I want—I want to learn [Fusion]!" He laughed, looking at the friends around him, "Judai, I’ll have to trouble you to tutor me!"

*Oh!?*

The members of the Fusion Department looked at him and then showed the same smile.

Sure enough—

After being in contact with Hikari, Hikari-san, and the Department Head for a long time, it would always be like this!
