Chapter 566
After the first professor's class ended, students and teachers had always given this class a fairly high evaluation. Professor Luonuosi was also very happy, calling out "Mamma Mia" several times, and then sweating coldly behind his back.
He didn't understand anything Professor Yanjingshe taught.
In fact, until he actually traveled to other dimensions and faced "Bai Jing" together with Tiancheng Guang, he had always been very uninterested in dimensional travel, and he was quite resistant to acknowledging the existence of things like "spirits."
Of course, after that, he slowly changed his views on everything and gradually realized his previous wrong concepts.
But regardless, as a duelist, what he prioritized learning and researching was not the things Professor Yanjingshe taught, so even for him, what Professor Yanjingshe said was exceptionally useful.
After all, no one in the world knows the Ancient Gear series better than him.
As a duelist who has successfully relied on personal ability and diplomatic ability to reach cooperation with the Ancient Gear dimension and obtained many exclusive cards from there, Professor Luonuosi still has a very good relationship with the Ancient Gear spirits.
So after listening to this class by Professor Yanjingshe, he reviewed and studied it for a long time in his office, and only then did he suddenly realize.
No wonder he had felt that he had become stronger during this period; it turned out it wasn't an illusion.
Bang, bang, bang.
Someone knocked on the door of the principal's office.
"Please come in."
The door opened automatically. Tiancheng Guang looked toward the principal's office, first bowed to Professor Luonuosi, and then asked: "Professor, were you looking for me?"
"Student Tiancheng—" Luonuosi stood up, welcomed Tiancheng Guang, and signaled for him to sit down.
Tiancheng Guang nodded, found a seat, and sat down casually.
After the class ended, Professor Luonuosi had asked Tiancheng Guang to come find him after all the classes were over this evening, as if there was something important to say.
"What did you think of the two professors' classes today?" Professor Luonuosi asked.
"I benefited a lot," Tiancheng Guang replied decisively.
The morning class was taught by Professor Yanjingshe, who talked about how to improve one's spirit power. Even Tiancheng Guang felt this content was very useful, and he took a lot of notes.
And in the afternoon, it was "Demonology" taught by Professor "Salafu."
At first glance, this so-called "Demonology" sounds like some academic study of demon summoning or demon decks, but in reality, it is not. The so-called "Demonology" is actually a more classic discipline at the Western European branch.
That is, "Theology."
However, in order to avoid taboos and bypass the jurisdiction of the church, Duel Academy simply called it "Demonology" for the sake of convenience.
The so-called Demonology is not about teaching students to recognize and understand these demons, but about teaching students how to form connections with these "extraordinary existences" and then obtain the support of "power."
For example, summoning demons, monsters, or gods through rituals, and then obtaining relevant power through contracts.
It sounds very evil at first glance.
But in reality, it is not like that at all.
Through the development and research of spirit power, this world has gradually mastered a set of special "Demon Summoning Methods," that is, through corresponding steps and techniques, first sacrificing corresponding materials, then using a certain card as a medium, and then summoning that spirit from a certain dimension to this world, followed by talking to or even dueling the spirit face-to-face, thereby directly bypassing the process of "understanding" that Professor Yanjingshe talked about, and finally obtaining recognition directly.
The advantage of this method is that you can lock onto the power you want, but the disadvantage is that because you are calling the other party to this world through summoning, the summoner is naturally weaker than the summoned party—in a duel, regardless of win or loss, the summoning side provides the dueling energy in the end. If the dueling energy is insufficient, it is even possible that before the duel ends, the spirit will dissipate in this world because it cannot maintain its figure, returning to their dimension, or even eating up the materials and dueling energy you sacrificed.
This process is "irreversible."
Yes—
This method of performing a sacrificial ritual requires sacrificing the "upper limit." Once the ritual fails, the summoner's spirit power will be missing a portion out of thin air, which cannot be replenished through rest and can only be increased through renewed effort.
And in order to let the students feel the power of this summoning technique more intuitively, this teacher "Salafu" performed an angel summoning in class.
【Guide of Victory, Freya】
This spirit was quite angry when it was first summoned to this dimension, but after listening to Salafu's explanation and hearing that it could show off to human cubs, it happily began to perform a duel.
Several classmates who challenged it because of its "beauty" failed in the end, and finally, the guide said goodbye to the students and left before the time was up.
At that time, many students were very worried about Professor Salafu. After all, according to his explanation, when a spirit returns to its own dimension, the "spirit power upper limit" of him, the summoner, must be damaged.
However, Salafu didn't have much of a reaction to this. He just smiled and told the students that as a scholar, one must be well-prepared and protected before experimenting and trying, otherwise, one would lose some spirit power in vain like him.
In short...
The course was quite perfect.
It must be said that these professors at Duel Academy, when they really show their "true skills," really all have their own clever tricks.
In the original work, those teachers and professors at Duel Academy basically all had quite a few tricks, and in this world that has highly developed due to dimensional travel, the tricks mastered by these duelists who became "professors" of various branches through personal ability are really one more wonderful than the next.
Perhaps in terms of strength, a single one of them is actually not as good as Chima Lingwang.
But...
It can't be helped that these people are truly numerous and have many tricks.
Among them, many people, such as Professor Yanjingshe, are tough guys who could refuse Chima Lingwang's invitations several times without being affected by the Fusion Army at all; the gold content really doesn't need to be said.
And precisely because of this, Professor Luonuosi specifically asked Tiancheng Guang to come to the principal's office, wanting to hear Tiancheng Guang's thoughts.
He knows his own situation, and he is very clear about where those "fantasies" Chima Lingwang has about him come from, so he has never accepted these praises. But conversely, although he doesn't accept these things, he has always insisted on not admitting to some of the more private things Tiancheng Guang has done.
Because he doesn't want Tiancheng Guang's studies to be affected by these trivial and strange matters, and even less does he want Tiancheng Guang to be affected by retaliation.
With him, the "mastermind," around, others will more or less be wary.
Similarly, it is precisely because of the Chima Lingwang matter that he is also very worried about these professors.
Yes.
The courses everyone teaches are indeed very powerful.
But is there really a problem behind it?
Will there be any conspiracies like Chima Lingwang?
To some extent, the suspicions of those professors are actually correct.
Perhaps Professor Luonuosi was unintentional in the "duel" with Chima Lingwang, but he genuinely wanted to understand the situation from every aspect regarding the assessment of these professors.
Therefore, he tried his best to use his own ideas to arrange the "professor assessment," and then asked for the opinion of Tiancheng Guang, the student he trusted most, hoping to screen out all problems and doubts as much as possible.
"So, Student Tiancheng, do you think there is anything strange about the two professors' courses?"
Tiancheng Guang thought for a moment and replied: "Both have."
"... Is that so."
"The story Professor Yanjingshe told, Professor, you should have an impression of it; it was the report Lightsworn and You Cheng Shi Dai gave you after the GX tournament ended."
He nodded.
That's right, regarding Lightsworn, regarding Dark World, regarding the "Supreme King" matter, although Professor Luonuosi didn't follow the whole process, he later watched the recordings and content. Now that Tiancheng Guang mentioned it, he suddenly realized.
So, that "King's story" is... the Supreme King?
If that's the case, then it really can't be guaranteed...
"What about Professor Salafu? He looks very kind," Professor Luonuosi asked. "And his experimental performance was also very good."
If one could know a person's heart just by looking kind, You Cheng Shi Dai and the others wouldn't have been beaten up by Professor Dadesi and left dizzy.
Tiancheng Guang didn't know what Professor Salafu was thinking, but he just felt that the ritual of summoning spirits was really too dangerous.
If some strange spirits took advantage of the situation and invaded their world directly, who would be responsible?
Is it the student who tried it who is unlucky?
But other than that, Tiancheng Guang couldn't say what was wrong.
After all, whether it was Professor Yanjingshe or Professor Salafu, the content they taught in class was genuine, solid material; it was the research content of these world-class researchers and scholars, and it was also exclusive knowledge that other professors would never teach.
Moreover, in terms of danger, Professor Yanjingshe's course had almost no danger, and although Professor Salafu's course was relatively more dangerous, the materials used for those rituals were strictly controlled by the Haima Company. Ordinary students couldn't get them at all; only he, a professional, could apply to use them in class. Who else could get them?
In summary, from the surface, although the two people's courses were relatively strange, they were all content "within the scope."
Fortunately, Professor Luonuosi didn't expect to get any answers in one day.
After all, he was already prepared to observe the behavior of these professors for the entire semester.
He called Tiancheng Guang over this time also because he knew that Tiancheng, as the most studious and excellent student among the students, would definitely take all the professors' classes, so he specifically reminded Tiancheng Guang to be careful.
"Don't worry about that, Professor, I'm prepared."
Tiancheng Guang had been keeping an eye on Professor Yanjingshe, wondering if he had any conspiracies, and he faced those other professors with a suspicious mindset as well.
After all, those professors and teachers in the original work really all had strange tricks, and there were quite a few people who could trick You Cheng Shi Dai and make him autistic. Now that these people have been screened who knows how many times, they will certainly only be more elite and powerful than those teachers in the original work.
Just like that Professor Yanjingshe, he was completely different from Tiancheng Guang's impression.
Professor Luonuosi nodded, then beckoned, signaling Tiancheng Guang to come over. Tiancheng Guang stood up and walked over, feeling a bit curious, only to see Professor Luonuosi secretly take out a small card box and hand it to Tiancheng Guang.
Tiancheng Guang was startled, opened the cards in the box, and then his eyes lit up.
It was—
Ancient Gear series cards!
So many!
Tiancheng Guang looked at card after card and looked up at the professor in surprise.
"Professor, what are these?"
"During this period, the collaboration between our school and Gear Town—because of Professor Chima's passing, they seem very happy, so they opened up more opportunities for me to use cards." The professor raised the corner of his mouth slightly, watching the surprised expression of his proud disciple Tiancheng Guang, feeling quite satisfied inside.
Compared to the surprise or praise of those professors, Tiancheng Guang's surprise and joy made him, as a teacher, even more satisfied and gratified.
On one hand, Tiancheng had already made quite a name for himself; on the other hand, as a professor, he was truly very gratified, very satisfied, and very happy to see a student like Tiancheng Guang who was excellent in both character and learning, cultivated both internally and externally, and thought of his teacher.
And precisely because of this, he would always do his best to complete the things Tiancheng Guang asked of him before.
Now that his deck had been updated, he naturally wouldn't forget his proud disciple Tiancheng Guang. Taking advantage of having a mission, he directly handed all the cards he had collected to Tiancheng Guang.
"Don't worry, I have a set too," Luonuosi laughed.
Unlike last time, he had a very rich harvest this time. Except for a few cards in the extra deck, the monsters and spells in the main deck were given by the Ancient Gear spirits directly in tens. Except for the cards he might consider giving to excellent students to try out later, Luonuosi directly decided to give a set of decks to Tiancheng Guang—after all, Tiancheng was also a genuine duelist who used Ancient Gear. Once these cards reached his hands, they wouldn't be buried.
"Thank you very much, Professor!" Tiancheng Guang bowed to Professor Luonuosi to thank him.
He accepted the cards without being polite; with his relationship with Professor Luonuosi, there was no need to say any sentimental words.
Originally, he really wanted to see what secrets these many professors had; now, he would only try harder.
The next day.
Another new course.
"Chivalry."
Taught by Professor Palading from the Nordic branch.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Professor Palading came to the podium swaying with two huge stacks of things in his arms, and then put them on the ground with a "bang," making a crisp collision sound and a clattering noise.
A group of students and professors looked at this scene in a daze.
Armor?
Tiancheng Guang poked his head out, feeling a bit surprised.
This professor... why did he bring two sets of armor to the stage?
"Pro... Professor, what are you going to teach?" a student raised his hand in confusion.
"Ah, Chivalry—but, saying it like that, you should find it hard to understand. The 【Chivalry】 here actually refers to 【Knightly Thinking】 and 【Knightly Actions】."
Teacher Palading is blonde and blue-eyed, a genuine handsome white man with a good image, looking like the protagonist in a knight novel, so he had received the favor of many female students in the school in the past two days.
He picked up a helmet with one hand, shook it gently, then looked at the people below, scanned them, and noticed Tiancheng Guang: "Student Tiancheng, and then..."
He slowly scanned the room and found another person: "And then there is Student Johan, you two, can you cooperate with the teacher for this course?"
A-Guang and Johan?
Many people focused their attention on the two of them.
Why specifically look for these two people?
