Chapter 588: Revenge? (4k)

Flutter flutter—

In the forest, at some point, a flock of birds was startled from the woods. Jūdai instinctively looked at those birds, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

Somewhere on Duel Academy Island, Mengjiang looked at Professor Professor Yanjingshe, listening to the surname he hadn't heard for a long time, his brows locked together.

He considered himself to have some understanding of Professor Professor Yanjingshe, and now seeing Professor Professor Yanjingshe, he was instantly vigilant.

After all, Professor Professor Yanjingshe was not a person who would do meaningless things.

Appearing here suddenly, could there be some conspiracy?

To his surprise, Professor Professor Yanjingshe seemed to be just passing by here, or perhaps just exercising here. In short, after meeting Mengjiang, they just simply reminisced about the past and didn't make any extra moves.

This left Mengjiang quite confused.

Although his own "spirit power" wasn't very strong, he was a soldier after all, and he had some perception of danger. The moment he saw Professor Professor Yanjingshe, he felt a clear life-threatening danger, yet Professor Professor Yanjingshe didn't make any moves.

What on earth was Professor Professor Yanjingshe up to?

Mengjiang didn't understand, reminisced with Professor Professor Yanjingshe for a while, and then left under Professor Professor Yanjingshe's eerie smile to continue his patrol.

【I must make this guy die in the most painful state!】

This voice echoed in Professor Professor Yanjingshe's ears.

He was somewhat indifferent.

After all, he and Mengjiang weren't actually close.

After a busy night of patrolling, Mengjiang supported his body and returned to the teacher's dormitory. He vaguely felt something was wrong, but didn't know what was wrong.

Honestly, Mengjiang's physical fitness was still good. Normally, patrolling for a few days wouldn't make him too tired. After all, even without adapting to the power of spirits, with his physical fitness, guarding a checkpoint for many days wasn't impossible, and now it would only be simpler.

But for some reason, he was exceptionally tired today.

He returned to the dormitory, recalled the day, and felt something was wrong everywhere. Lying on the bed, he felt something was wrong no matter what.

Just when he was muddled and tossing and turning, he suddenly felt a faint cold light beside him. He instinctively opened his eyes, then rolled over and landed on the ground.

Crack!

Only a sharp tearing sound was heard, and his bed and wall were instantly slashed in two by a cold, gleaming long sword.

He broke into a cold sweat instantly.

What was the situation?

Looking up again, he only saw a familiar person—

Professor Professor Palading!?

At this very moment, Professor Professor Palading was holding a crimson greatsword emitting black energy, and without a word, slashed down toward Mengjiang.

Mengjiang hurriedly put his hands together, and with a slap, caught the greatsword with his bare hands.

However, what surprised him was that even with spirit power attached to his hands, he still had no way to completely block this sword and was being pushed down crazily.

This sword seemed to carry a large amount of spirit power—no, this sword was his 【Spirit】!

This was a spirit card equipped with an Equip Spell card!

No—

Seeing the sword emitting black energy slowly pressing down, Mengjiang became more and more anxious.

The gap between his and Professor Professor Palading's spirit power wasn't large, and facing Professor Professor Palading with a weapon while unarmed was almost suicide.

"Lü Feng!"

He shouted hurriedly. A black-gold figure emerged from the deck, brandishing the Fangtian Huaji in his hand, and struck toward Professor Professor Palading.

Seeing this, Professor Professor Palading couldn't continue to slash, so he had to retreat. But then, he swung his long sword in the air, and a flash of fire slashed out from the sword, forcing Mengjiang to jump out of the window.

But even so, the flames still burned his body.

For some reason, he was exceptionally tired today. Being burned by the flames, his spirit power, which had already decreased due to the patrol, dropped exponentially.

Such an explosion naturally couldn't be hidden from other teachers on the same floor. Many teachers who had just woken up hurriedly prepared their weapons, thinking spirits had attacked.

Other teachers on night watch saw Mengjiang, who had fallen from the sky and collapsed on the ground with a thud, and hurriedly went to ask him, wanting to help him.

But at this moment, a figure jumped down from the sky again, brandished his long sword, and forced back several other professors with flames.

Boom!

Crack crack crack—

The long sword collided with the halberd, Professor Professor Palading was forced back half a step, then stood firm.

What was the situation!?

The teachers nearby were dumbfounded.

Could it be that Professor Professor Professor Palading was an impostor?

No, that wasn't it—

Mengjiang clutched his chest, the flames still continuously burning his body. The black flames seemed to be burning his life, making the scene in front of him flicker. He gritted his teeth and slowly stood up, questioning: "Professor Professor Palading, have you betrayed us?"

"No—" Professor Professor Palading slowly raised his sword and said calmly, "Do you remember what happened when you were in the Middle East?"

What?

"There was a war correspondent who died there—it was a deliberate shooting! Because of your unit!" Professor Professor Palading's face was gloomy, and he said, "She was my angel, my lover... I have been looking for my enemy..."

"I heard that the people from that unit later disbanded, and the captain among them changed his name and became a teacher at Duel Academy, which is why I came to Duel Academy to be a teacher, just to find that person one day!"

Several teachers opened their mouths wide.

There was such a thing!?

"That person must be from your unit! I absolutely cannot remember wrong; the superior of that person was surnamed Meng!"

Mengjiang clutched his chest, his face confused.

Could such a thing happen?

Normally, it was impossible for them to attack actively, but the battlefield had no eyes; who could say for sure?

His subordinates accidentally killing someone, according to reason, would also be reported, but he had absolutely no impression of this matter—but conversely, it was also possible that his subordinates united to hide it from him. After all, if such a thing happened, there might not have been any witnesses at all.

But this kind of thing, couldn't he just talk to him about it!?

He could help, he could investigate, they were colleagues after all...

Certainly, most of his comrades-in-arms had life-and-death friendships with him, but if they really did something that violated humanitarian rescue, he naturally couldn't hide it.

But when the words reached his lips, he said: "Sorry, I really don't have this impression. As for my subordinates, I can't tell you; they all have brand new lives..."

"Then what about my life!" Professor Professor Palading roared ferociously, then brandished his sword and rushed up.

Lü Feng could have easily handled it, but as Professor Mengjiang's physical condition became worse and worse, its figure gradually became transparent, and finally, after a "tsk," it disappeared from reality.

Mengjiang was a bit dazed, and also a bit regretful, regretting what he had just said.

He felt his vision turn black and white. Under the continuous black flames, he completely lost consciousness and collapsed.

"If you are unwilling to say it, then I will make it so you can never say it again—"

"Wait, Professor!" Not far away, a roar shouted toward this side. A green gem turtle appeared in front of Professor Professor Palading and then blocked the attack.

Johan?

Professor Professor Palading was stunned for a moment.

Oh—

It was indeed this time.

During this period, every morning not long after waking up, Johan would come to the teacher's dormitory here to ask Professor Professor Palading for advice under Ruby's guidance.

Johan wanted to further improve the strength of his family members, and Professor Professor Palading himself was very interested in the "only Rainbow Dragon in the world," so they conceived and deduced together.

According to Professor Professor Palading's idea, the simplest and most direct method was to let Johan imagine himself becoming "Rainbow Dragon" and then develop ideas based on that.

"Professor, how can you attack a comrade!"

"Comrade? I don't have such a comrade; he is my enemy... my enemy!" Professor Professor Palading raised the sword in his right hand, his face cold, "Don't stop me, Johan. This is my once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I miss it, I can never avenge Angelica again."

"Avenge?"

Johan replied blankly.

Professor Professor Palading clenched his fist and said.

He once had a fiancée, a very beautiful girl who was as gentle as an angel. In order to spread the true appearance of those impoverished and war-torn areas to the world, she worked as a war correspondent on the battlefield.

But that day...

His fiancée was accidentally killed by Mengjiang's subordinates.

He would never forget that day. He went crazy and started looking for all the clues, on the battlefield, in the army, in all the places he could go, and finally, locked onto Duel Academy...

He became a teacher at Duel Academy just for revenge!

To avenge his 【family】!

Now, he had finally determined who his "enemy" was, so he took advantage of Professor Mengjiang being at his weakest to strike.

Johan opened his mouth wide.

Huh?

The love and hatred of the elders were still too far away for someone of his age.

But Professor Professor Palading avenging his lover, his wife, his family—Johan couldn't find any words to refute it.

The problem was, Professor Mengjiang was neither a criminal nor a bad person, and killing him like this was too much.

Moreover, in the current situation, shouldn't they unite against the foreign enemy first, and then deal with these things after the foreign enemy was driven away!

Even if he was worried that he might not be able to control Professor Mengjiang alone at that time, he could help!

He believed that even Professor Chronos, Hikari Tenjou, or even Jūdai wouldn't stop him for such a reason, right?

But no matter what, he absolutely couldn't let Professor Professor Professor Palading, who was hot-headed and a bit demented, continue like this. He hurriedly grabbed his Duel Disk, inserted his deck, blocked in front of Professor Mengjiang, and then said: "No matter what, Professor, no matter what, you cannot continue to be wrong!"

"Johan—"

Professor Professor Palading roared, but finally gritted his teeth, dissipated the long sword in his hand, and put the deck into the professor's special Duel Disk.

At this moment, he was like a long sword burning in the flames.

"Teacher, please send Professor Mengjiang to medical care first—"

The moment he said that, a teacher had already run over hurriedly and started checking Mengjiang's state on the spot.

"Invaded by dark power, lost consciousness!" The teacher's expression changed, "It's exactly the same as the 【Wall】 outside!"

"Professor, you actually used that kind of power?" Johan's expression became even worse, "Didn't you teach me to fight for justice!"

"My justice is revenge!" Professor Professor Palading repeated.

Thus.

At the first moment of the morning, Professor Professor Professor Palading and Johan started a duel.

Johan looked at the "Ultimate Crystal God Rainbow Dragon" he drew and couldn't help but clench his fist.

This card was precisely the card he "created" under Professor Professor Palading's guidance.

Rainbow Dragon was different from Crystal Beasts; it was an "Ultimate Crystal God," not a Crystal Beast. However, under Professor Professor Palading's guidance, he understood that Rainbow Dragon was also part of the family, so it could also be a "Crystal Beast," which was why he "obtained" this card.

He couldn't imagine that the rational and clear professor would do such an irrational thing because of "hatred" at this moment.

Therefore, he must stop the professor!

In this situation, he absolutely couldn't let the professor continue to be wrong.

On the teacher's dormitory building next door, Professor Professor Professor Yanjingshe looked at this scene through the window and couldn't help but chuckle instinctively.

Professor Professor Palading's attack on Mengjiang in the morning and the duel with Johan were spread by teachers and other students who happened to pass by. Jūdai, who had just returned from the "volcano" and heard that Professor Mengjiang had been injured by Professor Professor Professor Palading, saw the confidence and excitement that had been on his face vanish, and ran toward the school's medical building like crazy.

Some other students and professors who heard about the related matter only felt it was incredible.

That kind, sunny, and kind Professor Professor Professor Palading actually had such a story? For revenge, he actually ambushed Professor Mengjiang?

Wow—

Some people thought it was very manly, some thought it was despicable, but no matter what, it was beyond their imagination.

Because it was completely different from their impression.

When the news reached Hikari Tenjou's ears, he was completely dumbfounded.

He had been doing experiments during this time, experiments on the dimensional gate. Using normal means and energy, it was impossible to open the current external dimensional gate. Even the dimensional gate in the Great Universe Workshop was blocked by the power of Darkness. But if he used the Philosopher's Stone in the Emerald Book, he could barely open the dimensional gate, allowing people to go to other dimensions for about an hour.

He had been trying to find a way to expand this effect, first sending students and teachers to human society, such as Domino City, and staying behind to focus on dealing with Darkness.

But unfortunately, there had been no progress in this regard. Although Tiera, with the blessing of duel power during the duel, released the purgatory flames to burn the seals nearby, this attempt was still quite difficult, and it could be said that not a single possibility could be found.

In this situation where Hikari was thinking until his scalp was numb, early in the morning, he heard such news, and was quite confused.

No...

"Hurry up, Department Head! We can't let our effective strength become even less!" The student who delivered the message shouted at Hikari.

But Hikari was just confused.

"What do you mean Professor Professor Professor Palading avenged his fiancée by attacking Professor Mengjiang?"

"Oh, didn't I say it—"

"No."

The student wanted to explain again, but was interrupted by Hikari raising his hand.

"I mean, Professor Professor Professor Palading has always been single. And he never had a fiancée named Angelica."

"... Eh?"
