Chapter 70: Duel Club
Letting Aisha stay for a while using the excuse of using the toilet in the dormitory, but You Ling, having not found any trace of the Millennium Ring among that pile of miscellaneous items, could only give up helplessly.
Anyway, since they were living together, there would still be opportunities in the future.
Hiding the truth, a battle of wits and courage, he really wasn't afraid.
However, what You Ling didn't know was that each Millennium Item possessed its own unique effect.
And unlike the Millennium Puzzle , which must exist physically, one of the Millennium Ring's effects was to completely integrate into the holder's body and soul.
Given such an effect, even if the holder themselves discarded the Millennium Ring, the Wisdom Ring could return to the host at any time.
Luka, fully utilizing this characteristic, didn't need to carry the Millennium Ring on her person at all, to increase unnecessary risks.
Casually discarding it in some corner, then teleporting it back to herself when she wanted to use it, and then finding another corner to discard it after use would suffice.
Impeccable; even if she and Aisha Carlos shared a room, there was absolutely no possibility of the Millennium Ring being exposed.
Plus, with her other soul existing within the Millennium Ring telling her to silently wait for the opportunity.
Since that's the case, then let it be; Luka felt that enjoying academy life for a while wouldn't be bad.
She only needed to take one evening per week to confirm if those Dark Duelists under her were working properly, diligently hunting souls for the Phantom Demons .
Then, may I ask, besides storing souls, what other special abilities does the Millennium Puzzle have?
Anyway, You Ling, up to now, hadn't developed any.
Exiting the room, not intending to disturb Luka further, Aisha only hoped Luka could properly tidy up those miscellaneous items and restore the dormitory room to cleanliness as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she would go crazy, in various senses.
"Eeeh, Kevin, you're still here?"
Aisha, leaving the first-year girls' dormitory building, was surprised to find Kevin, who had been kicked out by Luka, still hadn't left.
"Mm, been waiting for you for a long time."
"So why were you waiting for me!"
After the successful fusion of the three knights, You Ling's troubles had vanished.
But Aisha's troubles in recent days hadn't been resolved in the slightest.
Even more so, after today's duel, Kevin started to become somewhat more intense, further convinced of Aisha's identity as his destined rival.
Clearly, Millennium Item holders linked by fate were already troublesome enough, could this self-proclaimed rival please step back a bit?
"I'm going to the library to read with Senpai Irena, Kevin, stop following me."
At times like this, it was usually Yilin who helped Aisha shoo Kevin away.
But coincidentally, today Yilin was invited to the magic club to help research the formula for the latest transformation potion, unable to continue protecting Aisha.
"(ﾟДﾟ*)ﾉ I'm warning you, Kevin, if you keep pestering me, Senpai Irena will go complain to Senpai Kyma!"
No choice, Aisha could only bring out her second guardian, Irena, who was very familiar with Kyma Set.
Upon hearing his older sister's name, Kevin's expression instinctively showed a flicker of fear, but it only lasted for a moment before he quickly calmed down.
"It's not me waiting for you, student Aisha. It's because someone is looking for you that I waited here."
"Who?"
Aisha glanced skeptically.
"It's me, student Aisha Carlos."
A particularly steady baritone voice; standing next to Kevin was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, giving a first impression of being refined yet not lacking in confidence.
"This is probably our first meeting. Allow me to introduce myself, I am the second-year Rovik Brown (羅維克·布朗 - Luówéikè·Bùlǎng)."
"Rovik Brown..."
The name Rovik was very unfamiliar to Aisha, but she had heard of the Brown family name.
If she remembered correctly, the Brown family's business was a nationally renowned toy manufacturer.
At the same time, the Brown family was also the most representative example of a business tycoon transitioning into local nobility.
"H-hello. Senpai Rovik."
A young master from such a prominent family, specifically looking for her for some matter, she was completely clueless, causing Aisha can't help but start feeling nervous.
Seeing Aisha before him like a frustrated, flustered little hamster, Rovik smiled helplessly, trying his best to appear more gentle.
After all, Rovik was well aware of Irena's evaluation of him: the kind of person who seems to disown all relatives when serious.
"I heard that student Aisha, you haven't joined any clubs yet, so I wanted to invite you to visit our club, I wonder if you'd be interested."
"Phew, so it's about club matters."
Aisha let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed.
She thought the Brown family was planning to discuss business with her Carlos family or something.
Although in this Fusion Academy where children of nobility gathered, families supporting each other through student connections were not few, the current Aisha definitely couldn't bear such a heavy burden.
As for clubs, Aisha understood much better.
Ever since You Ling arrived and she started to show her talent in practical combat duels, the formerly unknown dead-last girl had also received olive branches from many dueling-related clubs.
Fusion Academy's clubs, besides the normal sports and cultural ones, the most numerous and distinctive were the dueling ones.
As the name suggests, clubs dedicated to researching matters related to Duel Monster cards.
Some relatively famous dueling clubs.
Like the Moe Creature Club , which specializes in collecting cute monsters and is very popular among girls.
The Cyber Dragon Enthusiasts Association, which studies how Cyber Dragons struggle.
The Dragon-Sexual Organization, which loves no one but Dragon-types.
Of course, there were more clubs that valued the Duelist's own strength, which was why Aisha received invitations from many dueling clubs after showing her talent.
Especially after today's battle, it was believed that Aisha was even more of a hot commodity in the eyes of various clubs.
"Sorry, Senpai Rovik. I don't have any plans to join a club for the time being."
"I know, I heard from Irena. Student Aisha, you prefer staying in the library with her over club activities."
"With her, is that so? I just go to the library to read."
The narcissistic Ashen Witch, when boasting about her charm, Irena also liked to add embellishments in strange places.
Rovik added: "But this time, I just intend to invite student Aisha to visit our club, not inviting you to join. I think after today's duel, student Aisha, you will be somewhat interested in our club."
"I would be interested? Senpai Rovik, what club are you in?"
"High Elf Research Association "
High Elf Research Association. Specifically researches those Duel Monsters with very high star levels.
The club's philosophy is that star level represents the power of Duel Monsters and also symbolizes the mystery of Duel Spirits.
And in the High Elf Research Association, even Level 8 monsters, including Blue-Eyes White Dragon, cannot be called "High."
Monsters of Level 9 and above are their research subjects.
Just like the Arcana Knight Joker Aisha fused today.
You Ling: "I am very interested!"
Aisha: "(￣▽￣)／ Okay, then I am also very interested."
