Chapter 157

When seeing the results produced by this small laboratory that Fujiki You Xuan had just built not long ago, Professor Banner, who had always been full of acting skills and calm, was almost silenced.

He wanted to say that you guys are a bit too...

"Professor, please take a look to see if there is any improper operation in our research work." Fujiki You Xuan asked politely. "Please give us some pointers."

Professor Banner: "..."

Pointers on what?

My suggestion is that the principal can consider firing the academy's research department, and you guys can go to work today.

People say that if you live long enough, you will see everything; Professor Banner thought that he had lived so long, but he had really never seen such an abnormal situation.

Misawa and Asuka both felt a bit strange about why Fujiki You Xuan asked Professor Banner to be the main guide. After all, in their eyes, this was just a guy who was slacking off, and they didn't say anything just out of respect for the teacher.

But considering Fujiki You Xuan's performance so far, it was obvious that everything he said and did had his reasons. Many times his behavior seemed rebellious at first glance, and a bit unreasonable according to the common sense of duelists. But the final result often proved that he had his own reasons.

The two who had gradually become familiar with him accepted this setting, including many times during the research process when Fujiki You Xuan gave some instructions they couldn't understand for a while, they would often do it first, and generally, Fujiki You Xuan would be right in the end.

Professor Banner pondered for a moment and said: "I do have a suggestion."

He picked up the chubby Pharaoh again and said while stroking it.

"I have a friend who is also quite accomplished in the field of card making and has some connections." Professor Banner coughed.

Fujiki You Xuan nodded and listened, without going into whether this friend of the teacher was his own problem.

"Anyway, it seems like recently, Industrial Illusions is holding an academic activity, it seems to be some kind of conference?" Professor Banner slapped his forehead. "Oh well, anyway, there is such an activity.

If you can showcase your results at that conference, you can get funding from Industrial Illusions, and it is said that there is a chance to get the attention of Mr. Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters.

Although the registration time for the conference has long passed, my friend knows some people at Industrial Illusions. If we ask them, it should not be too late to participate now..."

"I see." Fujiki You Xuan pondered.

It would be good to be able to get sponsorship from both Industrial Illusions and Kaiba Corporation at the same time, and participating in a public conference could also expand the influence of their laboratory, which would be good for obtaining more manpower and resources to improve development efficiency in the future.

Fujiki You Xuan thought that he actually had acquaintances at Industrial Illusions now, and it would be even better if he had the chance to go around their warehouse in the future...

"Then thank you, Professor."

Misawa and Asuka both felt a bit dreamy for a while.

No matter what, they were just students who hadn't been enrolled for long, and who could have imagined that they would suddenly go to participate in activities in the academic circle. And they even had quite a few results in their hands...

The Cyber Angel trio "Benten", "Idaten", and "Dakini" from the anime had already been strengthened from anime to real cards.

In Asuka's view, this was already an astonishing achievement she hadn't thought of before, but Fujiki You Xuan felt that this was just the beginning.

Strengthening anime cards to real cards was just the first step of development, and he began to guide her step by step, continuing to expand Asuka's ideas.

"I feel that the current thinking is a bit solidified." Fujiki You Xuan said. "Including the current mainstream research, Cyber Angels are regarded as the representative of aggressive Rituals."

Asuka was puzzled: "Isn't... isn't it?"

Originally, as the owner of Cyber Angels, she should have the most say, but after doing research with Fujiki You Xuan for a while, she was not so confident now.

"Yes, and no. Cyber Angels are good at aggressive attacks, but because of this, their potential has also been ignored." Fujiki You Xuan said. "I have recently discovered a new line of thinking,

The new Ritual monster of Cyber Angels doesn't necessarily have to be an auxiliary development or an aggressive ability; I think Cyber Angels have potential in defensive capabilities that has been ignored by everyone so far..."

That's right, he was referring to "Cyber Angel Natasha".

A Level 5 Cyber Angel Ritual monster, both ATK and DEF are only 1000, and the three effects it holds are defensive compared to other Cyber Angels.

One effect is to select a monster on your field, and itself recovers Life Points equal to half of that monster's ATK.

The second effect is that when a Ritual monster on your field is attacked, you can negate that attack.

The third effect is the key. When this card exists in the Graveyard, by banishing other "Cyber Angels" from the Graveyard, it can Special Summon itself and also gain control of a monster on the opponent's field.

Compared to fighting and killing, Fujiki You Xuan felt that this kind of NTR effect was more interesting. It's a pity that it seems no one has thought about the strengthening direction of this deck in this regard at all.

However, he was optimistic about Asuka. Although classmate Asuka's destiny power was far from reaching the level of Jaden's need to print cards according to the atmosphere in actual combat, it was already outstanding compared to ordinary people.

Give her a hint, point out a direction, what if she really prints it?

When the world sees a Cyber Angel with a fresh style compared to the past, they will surely feel happy.

Duel Academy, night falls.

An unknown room, as if in a forgotten corner of the academy. The faint candlelight flickered, as if controlled by an invisible force, like an uneasy eye peeping at everything.

In the dim candlelight, three white-robed people sat around an old wooden table, the shadows of their hoods covering most of their faces, and the white robes glowed with a faint luster in the dimness.

Their movements were slow and solemn, as if performing some ancient ritual, operating on the table they were sitting around...

A Spirit Board?

That's right, it looked like the Yu-Gi-Oh! card "Spirit Board", the card Bakura used when dueling Yugi in Battle City, which directly won the game by rule when the five letters "DEATH" were gathered on the field.

It's just that the three white-robed people were not operating the 3D projection of the Spirit Board at this time, but a physical object made from the image of that card.

This was a ritual of channeling.

"Great Jinzo, if you can hear our pious call... please descend here!"

The cold wind poured in from the cracks in the window. The candlelight flickered violently, then was suddenly blown out. The three white-robed figures swayed strangely, then were swallowed by the darkness.

A pair of dark red eyes lit up in the dark shadow.

The eyes were full of greed and hunger.
