Chapter 86

The second week of coming to Duel Academy was coming to an end, and the exchange match of the Yellow Dorm was finally about to come to an end.

You Xuan had basically finished fighting everyone he should fight, although he felt a bit unsatisfied. In the past two days, he could occasionally see some students in the Yellow Dorm still completing their respective duels in the dorm area.

You Xuan occasionally passed by and stopped to watch the battle. In general, although there were quite a few students who had been 'trained' by his duels in these two weeks, there was no significant 'Yin-person spreading to Yin-person' phenomenon like in the dojo for the time being.

After all, those who could enter the academy were already considered elites among duelists, and everyone had a certain persistence and pride in their own decks and wouldn't change easily, which was different from the dojo students...

Then he passed by and saw a Yellow Dorm student: "My turn, draw! I set four cards on the field, turn end!"

You Xuan: "."

Suddenly felt that this development seemed to have been seen somewhere.

Hmm, there are always accidents in everything.

He observed that, if nothing else, the ratio of red traps among Yellow Dorm students seemed to have increased recently. Although no one directly copied his homework and learned his deck, the students still insisted on using their respective decks and main forces, but on this basis, there was a trend of leaning towards the 'underworld' direction.

If this develops, if there is a large-scale exchange duel opportunity between dorms in the future, then the students of the other two dorms...

No, if it extends further.

If the 'Yin-person spreading to Yin-person' phenomenon continues to spread until one day it dominates the entire Duel Academy. When Saiou comes and takes a look, he will shake his head and resign within a week, indicating that this place is too dark and his 'Light of Destruction' is powerless.

When the entire academy is transmitted to another dimension in the Yubel arc, by then, the painting style of the entire chapter might have to change from 'difficult survival of teachers and students in the academy in another world' to 'underworld catastrophe of spirits in another dimension'...

You Xuan reflected and felt that if it really became like that one day, it definitely wouldn't be his pot.

Yu-Gi-Oh was originally a game where two people participated, but only one person could play.

Dueling was originally like this.

Afternoon, Alchemy class.

The second week hadn't passed yet, and the number of people coming to Alchemy class had visibly decreased by a quarter.

But this was no wonder. In the eyes of most students, alchemy was originally a bit mysterious, and it didn't seem to be of any help to dueling.

Plus, the teacher in charge, Daitokuji, looked like the kind of teacher who was easy to bully, always cowardly and weak, not taking roll call in class, not caring how many people were absent, coming up and talking to himself, and leaving when the time was up. So alchemy was also regarded by students as the easiest course to mix in.

However, Daitokuji also noticed that even if he showed this image, that You Xuan-kun from the Yellow Dorm still kept his back straight and kept taking notes. There was no one in the whole classroom who was as serious as him.

That focused attitude once made Daitokuji himself have doubts—

—Did I teach that well?

Not only that, this student would even chase out to ask questions after class!

Reasonably speaking, Daitokuji hadn't seen such a serious student since he came to Duel Academy all these years. Even model honor students like Tenjoin Asuka and Marufuji Ryo this year, when they attended his class, at most they listened seriously and respected the teacher, and didn't see such great enthusiasm for alchemy.

"Teacher, I was very interested after I went back from the first class, so I went to the school library to check a lot of relevant information."

You Xuan blocked Daitokuji in the corridor outside the classroom, and even specially took out the list of questions he had listed.

"I found some clues from many documents. The development of alchemy in ancient Egypt, the relationship with excavated relics of the same period, and other things... I specially listed these, teacher, look if they are correct."

Daitokuji held his fat cat named 'Pharaoh' in one hand and took the list he handed over with the other, looking at it through his eyes narrowed into slits.

"All clues indicate that alchemy has been linked to Duel Monsters since ancient times, right teacher? Is this why our academy opened alchemy courses?"

Daitokuji looked at the document content he excerpted carefully, looked at him through his glasses for a while, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Oh my, this... is it really? You Xuan-kun is really eager to learn..." He thought for a while, "This... well, there are indeed many theories that the origin of alchemy is closely related to Duel Monsters, but it is just a theory of one school. There are still many controversies in the academic world at present..."

He was acting.

You Xuan knew clearly that Daitokuji gave an official answer here, because this was indeed a problem that still had controversies in the academic world. But Daitokuji in the anime clearly said to Judai before he died that he firmly believed that the ultimate answer to alchemy was in Duel Monsters, and he believed that Judai was a born top alchemist.

"I also read a lot of textbooks and introductions about alchemy, and I feel that alchemy and 'Fusion Summon' are very similar, teacher."

You Xuan continued to pretend to be humble and said.

"Just my personal opinion, don't mind if I say it wrong. But I think, the alchemy means mentioned in the book, and the process of fusing two originally ordinary monsters in a duel to create a new powerful existence...

This process of researching and developing Fusion monsters, isn't it like turning stones into gold, which is a miracle in itself?"

Daitokuji: "!?"

Daitokuji-sensei, who could be called an Oscar-level actor, couldn't hide his surprise at this moment, and his eyes, which were narrowed into slits all year round, almost opened in shock.

He couldn't help but be surprised, because this student's words were simply speaking to his heart. This was exactly his insight as an alchemist for many years, but he had never said these things in class, nor had he shared them with anyone.

This student actually had such similar insights to him just by checking documents and self-study...

But this was a matter of course.

Because this set of theories just now was originally heard by You Xuan from Daitokuji... in the anime, the Seven Stars arc, the content Daitokuji said to Judai. Of course, he had long forgotten the original words, but the meaning was about the same.

Perhaps for the first time in front of a student, Daitokuji put away his usual silly and cowardly image and looked at You Xuan seriously with his eyes narrowed.

"Fujiki You Xuan... right? You are very interested in alchemy?"

"Yes, teacher." You Xuan said seriously, "I hope to get the teacher's guidance often in the future."

The map was revealed, and he showed his cards.

He just wanted to learn card printing from the academy's number one hidden card printing master.
