Chapter 583: New Semester

Until leaving the abandoned dormitory of Duel Academy, Eko was still confused.

She completely didn't understand how things developed to the way they were now.

Weren't they here to spy on the Duel King's secrets?

The legendary secret facility hidden by the Duel King on the island, forbidden dark research, etc. And that Professor Cobra... this trip to Duel Academy also seemed to have bad intentions, planning something dangerous.

These two goals should have been the primary things they came to Duel Academy to investigate. That Professor Cobra and Fujiki You Xuan should both be enemies.

And now?

Young Master Amon and this You Xuan left the dormitory together, and the relationship looked very harmonious... no, it wasn't just harmonious. She could even see that Young Master Amon was actually quite respectful to this person.

Eko had grown up with Amon since childhood and was probably the person who understood Amon best in the world. Precisely because of this, she understood even more how incredible this was—she couldn't remember Amon ever having such an attitude toward anyone in the past.

"... The ones who came to Duel Academy this time are not just representative students from different academies."

Amon said to You Xuan while walking.

"The one leading us is a professor from the Western Branch of Duel Academy, named Cobra. He is a man who once served in the military and later transferred to Duel Academy's Western Branch to serve as a professor. His strength is extraordinary, and there are rumors that he also possesses some very dangerous power."

Amon paused and lowered his voice.

"Some unverified intelligence indicates that it might be a spirit, a very powerful dark spirit."

You Xuan raised an eyebrow.

The Garlem conglomerate's intelligence network is quite good, actually detecting Yubel's existence.

"Okay, I know." You Xuan nodded.

This time Amon was a bit surprised. He couldn't help but look at You Xuan twice more.

"You already knew?"

He smiled slightly and said.

"That's right. This island is the 'King's Domain', and nothing that happens here can escape the King's eyes; it was I who was meddlesome..."

Eko: "."

Is this still the Amon she knew?

She even couldn't help but suspect that in those few minutes when the communication was interrupted, Amon had already been brainwashed by this guy with some indescribable evil power?

Walking out of the small woods, You Xuan said goodbye to the group and returned to his dormitory.

Watching You Xuan walk away, Eko finally couldn't help but ask Amon: "You and him... what happened inside?"

Amon looked at her lightly, then smiled, and adjusted his glasses.

"Nothing happened between us."

"Impossible," Eko said firmly. "I understand you, Amon, you're not like this... why would you cooperate with a guy like this?"

Amon stopped and looked at Eko solemnly.

"Because he helped me remember who I am and what I need to do. And he is the only person in this world capable of helping me achieve it."

Eko was stunned.

What Amon wants to do?

Amon smiled mysteriously, said nothing more, and left directly.

The next day, Academy Auditorium.

"Welcome to all the new students," Principal Sheppard said on the podium. "You are all outstanding among the younger generation..."

The usual speech, not much different from the previous two years.

But then the principal said: "Then next, let's invite the representative of this year's most outstanding new students to speak."

A beautiful girl came to the stage and took the microphone.

Jaden on the stands instantly raised an eyebrow: "Ah, it's her!"

Syrus, the little brother beside him, turned his head and asked: "Brother, you know her?"

"Oh, yeah, it was my first year..." Jaden scratched his head. "This kid is named Rei Saotome, she was a super fan of Zane Truesdale back then, hid her age and sneaked into Duel Academy to see her idol. Later, after we dueled, she went back to her own school..."

Jaden wondered.

"Wait, she should only be in middle school now, right? How did she come to Duel Academy..."

"Brother, you don't know yet," Syrus interrupted. "Because her grades were particularly outstanding, she successfully applied to skip grades and was admitted to Duel Academy in advance."

"Eh?"

Jaden, a poor student whose exams were always on the verge of passing, showed admiration.

"So amazing?"

"And she was the runner-up in the GX tournament," Syrus said.

Chazz behind them hummed and reminded everyone: "The champion is yours truly."

Syrus curled his lips in disdain: "If it weren't for You Xuan and Brother not really participating, would it be your turn to be champion?"

Chazz's face turned black, and he hummed heavily, but didn't refute.

So angry, he, the great Chazz, was actually looked down upon like this.

What's even angrier is that what the other party said seemed to be the truth...

At this time, Rei Saotome was raising her little hand on the stage and taking an oath.

"Teacher, we new students will respect the discipline of Duel Academy. Always maintain the pride of being a duelist, maintain respect for opponents, study hard every day, and treat every duel with a positive attitude..."

The new student oath is fixed, but this year many people felt a bit strange after hearing it.

The others are fine, but the sentence "maintain respect for opponents" in the oath feels like it can almost be removed from the oath in Duel Academy today.

If you ask why, of course, it's because of the bad atmosphere brought by a certain Lord of the Yellow Dorm who cannot be named in the past two years...

"There is one more thing to announce."

After the new student representative stepped down, Principal Sheppard continued.

"Duel Academy has branches all over the world, and with the goal of cultivating the world's top duelists, I have asked the principals of each academy to arrange for the champion students of each academy from the previous year to come to the headquarters for exchange..."

As soon as this was said, it became lively below.

"Oh oh, champions from various academies!" Jaden was already excited. "Such amazing people are coming!"

"Then, let's invite the representative of the Eastern Branch of Duel Academy, Amon Garlem!"

Amon, wearing glasses, walked slowly to the stage amidst applause and waved to everyone.

At the same time, he gave a hidden look toward You Xuan's direction and smiled slightly.

"Representative of the Western Branch of Duel Academy, Austin O'Brien!"

The dark-skinned mercenary with a big nose walked onto the podium with a solemn expression, his face expressionless, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's.

"Representative of the Southern Branch of Duel Academy, Jim Crocodile Cook!"

Jim, styled like a cowboy, held up a crocodile in his hand and shouted "Yeah" as he came to the stage.

Of course, it caused another commotion.

"Nani, is that a real crocodile?"

"Alive! I saw it, it's really alive!"

Principal Sheppard: "Then next is the representative of the Northern Branch of Duel Academy, Jesse Anderson!"

The whole audience started clapping again.

However, no one came to the stage.

Principal Sheppard was also embarrassed on the stage, maintaining a stiff smile on his face.

Where are the people?
