Chapter 590

Time rewinds several hours.

When Professor General accidentally encountered Professor Yanjingshe, Shen Leban, with the help of the good sisters Serina and Hui Hui Liu Li, called for the teacher's assistance and was sent to the infirmary. Because Shen Leban was only frightened and not injured, after a simple diagnosis, he returned to the Yellow Academy dormitory accompanied by other teachers and classmates.

After returning to the dormitory, Shen Leban tossed and turned in bed, thinking about the events of the evening.

Although the professors and the department head were constantly insisting on and strengthening the school's various defenses, and all aspects of the school were very stable, as more and more people were injured and the professors' pressure increased, anyone slightly sensitive to safety issues could feel that the school's situation was going from bad to worse.

If it were normal times, Shen Leban could follow the plan provided by Professor Yanjingshe step by step and might be able to become a very excellent spirit duelist and embark on the path of dimensional travel.

But time did not allow it!

He couldn't sleep, so he got up and opened the plan provided by Yanjingshe.

Flipping through the first few pages, Shen Leban recalled Professor Yanjingshe's warning and gritted his teeth.

No.

If an accident occurred, wouldn't that cause bigger problems and bring trouble to the professor and the department head?

But immediately following that, there was a voice.

"Aren't you angry?"

"Don't you want to help others?"

"Seeing those girls who are younger than you but can easily save people and even save you, aren't you jealous?"

That voice echoed in his ears—no, it was echoing continuously inside his body.

Was that... his own inner voice?

"Don't you want to perform better to prove Professor Yanjingshe's correctness and let him pass the grading exam?"

"Don't you want to become more powerful so that you don't need the department head's disciple to save you?"

"Don't you want to become a respected duelist like the department head—you have that kind of talent, and you only need a little bit of help to easily become like Tiancheng Kō, or even as excellent as him!"

"You can imitate him perfectly!"

Hesitation meant wanting to try.

However, his remaining reason told him that he could not do this kind of thing in the student dormitory building.

He snuck out of the dormitory, found a secluded place, and took a few deep breaths.

As long as he used that one from the Demon Summoning Ritual, the summoning of the highest-level demon that would definitely pass, then... there would be hope to leap into obtaining extraordinary power!

By that time, he wouldn't need others to save him, and he could also go save others!

While he was gradually wavering, the outside world was in an uproar again because of the matter between Professor Palading and Professor General. Although he was hiding in a secluded place, he immediately heard about this incident.

At such a critical moment, one professor actually attacked another, and there was a high probability that this professor would also be locked up!

That would mean losing two professors at once!

What should the school do next!

I am a student of the noble Duel Academy, I am a duelist of the Fusion Department, I am a future dimensional traveler, I must—I have to work hard!

"Yu Beier—"

He called out that name.

Golden power descended from the sky, and the radiance, like holy light, came from outside the blockade of this island and landed on Shen Leban's body.

He raised his hands in surprise; he could feel that, visibly, his spirit power began to expand, and he could easily summon spirits, and even learn from Professor General to attach spirit power to his body to fly over walls!

Oh my god!

Too strong!

Is this the power of the highest-level demon!

Professor, Department Head, wait for me, I will definitely help you!

He summoned his spirit without hesitation; the spirit, which should have only been the size of one-third of a person, became the size of a small building under the blessing of his massive spirit power!

Haha, this time I will definitely be able to help the Department Head!

The spirit hiding in the darkness was discovered by him in an instant and easily captured.

The teacher who was fighting the spirit easily defeated it with his help.

The classmate who fell into a trap easily escaped from it with his help, and the spirit that ambushed him was also easily subdued or even eliminated.

Everything was so easy!

Everything was easy!

Nothing was difficult!

He easily helped the school and the Department Head solve countless enemies; classmates called his name in cheers, the professor excitedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, exclaiming that teaching Shen Leban was the luckiest thing in his life, and Shen Leban did not let his intentions go to waste.

Tiancheng Kō patted him on the shoulder, sighing that he hadn't misjudged the person back then; sure enough, Shen Leban possessed talent far beyond ordinary people, and this "Fusion Department Head" position should be held by him—

He easily became a great hero who saved the academy, and even that mastermind bowed down!

Easy, easy, easy——————

Hahaha hahahahhhhh...

Surrounded by classmates and teachers, his laughter spread further and further, reaching the sky, reaching the universe, reaching the endless darkness, reaching the distant outside...

Outside the 【Dream】.

【Shen Leban】 moved his body slightly.

The body wasn't very easy to use, but barely enough.

Darkness possesses the ability to sink humans into darkness, and Yu Beier herself also possesses the ability to modify people's memories; combining the two, one can easily create a fake dream that is indistinguishable from reality.

Although Shen Leban was an indispensable part of her plan, for Yu Beier, the most suitable and best body was still that of "Tiancheng Kō"; Shen Leban's body was only a second choice, and the inherent quality of this body was too poor.

Although with darkness descending now, she didn't need to worry too much about being killed directly by that otherworld god without a duel, she still wanted to fully resurrect as soon as possible and reunite with Jūdai formally.

However, this body was really too weak, and Yu Beier hadn't completely possessed it, so from the appearance, Shen Leban's shape didn't have obvious changes, and his right hand didn't sprout scales or demon claws.

Now, the owner of this body was still "Shen Leban," only, he himself had fallen into a dream from which he could never wake up; if he were driven out of this body, Shen Leban would still have a chance to wake up.

Rustle—

A sound rang out, and two figures ran over from a distance, one of them shouting, "Where is Big Brother!" while the other replied, "Idiot, of course he went to find the professor, do you even need to ask!"

"Hmm—seems like I came at just the right time." Shen Leban's mouth curled up.

The two figures heard her voice and temporarily changed direction, poking their heads in: "Shen Leban-dono? What are you doing here?"

It was Maruto Shō and Dinorano Kenzan.

Yu Beier remembered them both; they were Jūdai's "little brothers," recognized Jūdai as their Big Brother, and were very close, staying together every day.

Shen Leban raised his Duel Disk, aiming it at the two; the two were confused for a moment, hurriedly clarifying that they were not spirits, and seeing that "Shen Leban" had no reaction, they even took out a lot of evidence.

But—

What they didn't know was that, at this very moment, Shen Leban's inner self was already someone else!

Boom!!!!

After a while.

A terrifying mushroom cloud rose in the forest, cries of pain erupted from far away, and the flames instantly swept through a small half of the forest.

Jūdai, who had just left the infirmary and was worried about the professor, saw this scene; he instinctively contracted his pupils and instantly distinguished that voice.

"Shō!!"

He was in such a hurry that he couldn't care about the details, rushing into the place where the explosion occurred like a madman.

On the way, there were hidden spirits that suddenly attacked, but before the attacks could land on him, a mighty silver-white warrior flashed on his body, and then instantly neutralized the attacks.

"Shō!!!"

He shouted Shō's name anxiously.

Immediately following, a familiar voice rang out—

"Ahhhh————" Boom!!!

A more violent explosion rang out; this time, it wasn't just the sound of an explosion, flames erupted from the depths of the forest, countless trees were torn apart by the flames and storms stirred up by the intense explosion, some branches flew out directly at high speed, hitting Jūdai's body, splashing some scratches, and following that, there were also cries of pain in the storm.

Kenzan!!

Jūdai couldn't care about the pain on his body at all, running harder toward the direction of the explosion, and before long, he finally arrived there.

There, Shō had already passed out, while Kenzan still had a little consciousness left; seeing Jūdai rush over, he opened his mouth, stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Jūdai, saying: "Big... Big Brother—"

Then, he lost consciousness.

"Hang in there! Kenzan, Shō!!" He didn't care about the threats around him, rushing to support the two.

"Hahahahaha—how pitiful, is this the fate of those abandoned by Big Brother?" A bizarre voice rang out here, "If you had come earlier, or if you hadn't left alone, they probably wouldn't be like this, right? Hahaha—"

Jūdai's movements paused.

Indeed—

If it weren't for the fact that he heard about Professor General's coma and, in a state of confusion, ran to the infirmary alone instead of acting with others, the one facing the enemy right now should have been him, not Kenzan and Shō!

He clenched his fists, placed the two under a tree that was still in good condition, and then got up to look at the enemy.

In the forest, amidst the burning charcoal and broken branches, was a figure he was familiar with.

Shen Leban!?

He was stunned for a moment.

Was it a spirit disguise—no, it didn't seem like it?

What was that?

Spirit possession!!?

Jūdai was a bit surprised for a moment.

"Jūdai... it's been a long time, I finally see you again—"

Who!?

Jūdai was even more surprised.

This voice, so bizarre, so familiar...

However, he couldn't remember it at all.

"Jūdai!" Just as Jūdai was thinking, the Yu Yi Ren spirit appeared by his side instantly, shouting at him, "Run! Don't make contact with him, hurry!!"

Not long after it finished saying this, Shen Leban directly raised his right hand, and a golden laser erupted from his right hand, instantly hitting the Yu Yi Ren; the Yu Yi Ren changed form, erupting with the power of the "Great Tornado Man," but it couldn't hold on for even half a second, and like a leaf swept by a gale, it was instantly pierced through, blasted onto a more distant rock, and then penetrated the rock, disappearing into the sky.

"Yu Yi Ren!!" Jūdai shouted in panic.

But immediately following, Burst Lady, Sparkman, Bubbleman, and Clayman appeared next to Jūdai simultaneously, and almost at the same time, they shouted loudly: "Run, Jūdai!"

"Everyone—"

Jūdai's eyes revealed his surprise.

The heroes were actually calling for him to leave quickly at this time!?

These kind, heroic heroes were actually so decisive in wanting Jūdai to give up!

"Dirty guys, why disturb my reunion of love with Jūdai."

Love?

Watching that bizarre spirit use Shen Leban's body to say such things, Jūdai shivered from head to toe.

Shen Leban raised his right hand, and a gale roared, blowing the spirits around; a large group of spirits simultaneously took out the Fusion power evolved under the dimensional power, but under this massive dark power, they didn't even have the ability to resist, all being blown away, until a mighty silver-white warrior consumed his spirit power and emerged, which finally changed the situation completely.

Elemental Hero Neos!

"Tsk..." Yu Beier snorted coldly.

This wasn't a guy who could be dismissed easily.

"You damn guy..."

On Shen Leban's body, a bizarre demon phantom flickered, saying something frantically.

She was Jūdai's only partner!

These guys who stole her status and identity were all her enemies!

Watching this fleeting shadow, Jūdai felt a vaguely familiar feeling; he seemed to really know this spirit, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't remember the spirit's name no matter what.

Seeing that Jūdai couldn't even think of her, Yu Beier became even more twisted; she spoke frantically about her love for Jūdai, but Jūdai only felt terror and madness.

And soon, Yu Beier stopped this behavior: "But it doesn't matter anymore, Jūdai, I will let you feel even more of my love—torment, pain, madness."

She opened her mouth with a smile: "It's sad, isn't it? Jūdai, I can tell, you are suffering torment in your heart because you couldn't help your little brothers immediately, and because leaving alone and failing to protect your classmates in time has made you feel ashamed.

Because this was your wrong judgment, because of your mistake, they fell into a coma!

Hahahaha—"

Jūdai's complexion became a bit bad, and cold sweat dripped from his head.

This spirit was right.

He had promised to go and turn the spirits against them before the professor patrolled, but because of the professor's matter, his team ended up being scattered and attacked by the spirit before him.

Clearly, this was undoubtedly his fault.

He saw Yu Beier turn around and prepare to leave.

"Wait!! Duel me!!! Don't go!!"

He shouted hurriedly.

Having already made a mistake, he couldn't let this spirit leave!

However, Yu Beier didn't want to duel Jūdai at this time.

Dueling a Jūdai who didn't remember her at all, and dueling a version of herself that hadn't fully resurrected, that duel would be too boring, too lacking in "love."

Seeing that the spirit controlling Shen Leban was about to leave, Jūdai hurriedly chased after it, but just at this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the side and kicked him away.

He flew backward, clutching his stomach, looked up in pain, and was surprised to find it was "Professor Yanjingshe."

"Professor Yanjingshe!? Were you also controlled by a spirit!"

"No, I decided according to my own will." Yanjingshe spoke calmly.

"Professor, you betrayed us!!?" He shouted in pain, "Everyone trusted you so much!"

Why, why would there be a traitor among the professors who were cooperating with each other!

Weren't the teachers all protecting the students!?

He screamed in pain in his heart.

A blissful smile appeared on Shen Leban's face.

Seeing Jūdai in such pain, she believed that Jūdai must be able to feel her love!

The duel energy of Maruto Shō and Dinorano Kenzan was not bad, far more than ordinary students, and it was probably barely enough for resurrection.

It was just that it wasn't enough, the "torment" for Jūdai wasn't enough—

She wanted Jūdai to feel more of her "love"!

Because—Jūdai's love for her was the love that sent her to be "tormented"!

Therefore, she had to go and duel more of Jūdai's friends, duel those so-called best friends and supporters of Jūdai.

Rustle...

In the forest that had almost become ruins, several figures walked over from the outside.

"Ha... just in time." She said with Shen Leban's face.

Tiancheng Kō!

Her mouth curled up.

In that case, no need to leave!

Duel this duelist named Tiancheng Kō in front of Jūdai—

Hehehe...

The reason I can control this human named Shen Leban.

This is all your fault, Tiancheng Kō!
