Chapter 73: The Sealed God
Not imitation cards, but genuine high-level monster cards; this club, at least Nia and Rovik, definitely possessed such cards.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to set such an exaggerated entry threshold of needing to possess a Level 9 or higher monster to join the club.
"Want to see it? You really want to, don't you~"
Only You Ling could make such an insidious smile on Aisha's pure and innocent face.
"If you want to see it, then show some sincerity."
"Mmm, needing to show sincerity first is also reasonable."
Seeing the Arcana Knight Joker card she longed for dangling before her eyes, Nia, almost having a physiological reaction, could only force herself to swallow her saliva.
"Is this card okay? This is a genuine 10-star monster from my deck."
Drawing a card from the card box strapped to her wheat-colored arm, Nia placed it in front of You Ling.
It was indeed a 10-star monster, and one could clearly feel the spirit power existing within the card; 100% not an imitation card.
[The Despair Uranus ★★ ★★★★★★★★ (10-Star) WATER][Fairy-Type/Effect ATK: 200 DEF: 100]
This can also be considered a 10-star monster?
Aisha: "Ah this, how does it look even weaker than Yoyo ?"
Don't just look, it is weaker than Yoyo; its attack power is 100 points lower than the 1-star Yoyo.
"This is not quite the same as the high-star monster I imagined, Senpai Nia."
"Don't be deceived by appearances." Nia said, feigning mystery: "Appearance and ATK/DEF can be deceptive, but the Level won't deceive you. A Level 10 monster, no matter how weak it looks, cannot be underestimated."
Nia, as the president of the High Elf Research Society, naturally had a certain degree of worship for star levels.
However, what she said also had a certain degree of truth. If its base combat power was truly as frail as Yoyo's, then this [The One Who Is This] would have no reason to be as high as Level 10.
But You Ling was certain that this card had no connection to that instantaneous god-like aura, and couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
"Forget it, I'll keep my word."
You Ling handed the Arcana Knight Joker card to Nia, who was almost drooling.
"This is it, this is it! The Arcana Knight Joker card, combining coolness, star level, strength, and high attack power all in one. It's unbearably exciting!"
Rubbing the Arcana Knight Joker card against her smooth, wheat-colored cheek, the joy in Nia's eyes, sparkling like little stars, was genuine.
"It's clear, Senpai Nia, you really do like high-star cards."
"Of course, this is my xing P ( sexual preference/kink)."
"Damn, your XP system is too strange."
Although people's XPs are free, being able to admit it so boldly and without batting an eye like Nia also requires courage.
"Can I lick it?" Nia stuck out her tongue.
"No." You Ling refused sternly.
Seeing as you're a dark-skinned beautiful girl, letting you rub the card with your cheek is already the limit, don't push your luck.
"Please don't mind, our president has always been this strange."
Rovik's words were once again filled with the helplessness of an old father.
"Student Aisha, student Kevin, you can continue to look around the High-Level Research (abbreviation for High Elf Research Society). It's not just about displaying cards here. Since it's a research society, corresponding materials are also available."
"Corresponding materials, huh."
Following the direction Rovik pointed, You Ling discovered indoor bookshelves piled with various books.
"High-Star Monster Usage Guide", "How to Effectively Perform High-Star Summons", "Star Level is Strength", "The Aesthetics of Level"...
The books stored inside were, without exception, content related to high-star monsters. And these books and materials, even Aisha Carlos, who frequently hung out in Fusion Academy's library, had never seen before.
Kevin also wasn't polite at all and casually picked up a copy of "High-Star Monster Fusion Theory" to read.
And You Ling was attracted by another volume.
"Three Illusionary Gods Effect Deduction"
Among so many books, the only title related to gods.
You Ling casually flipped through a few chapters.
This book mainly speculated and summarized the respective effects of the three gods based on various folk rumors about the Three Illusionary Gods.
Various rumors were densely written, and the analysis was quite elaborate, even incorporating the mythological backgrounds of the Three Illusionary Gods for derivation.
If you treated it as a pastime, this book indeed looked very interesting.
But this book started by positioning the gods at Level 12, which made You Ling, who had seen Osiris the Sky Dragon with his own eyes, immediately judge that this book was spouting nonsense.
"Oh oh oh, student Aisha Carlos, are you also interested in gods?"
Seeing the book held in Aisha's small hands, President Nia, sitting cross-legged before the coffee table, once again became interested.
"The highest level gods, truly are the romance among Duelists. A must-try~"
"Not the highest level." Closing the book in his hand, You Ling muttered softly: "Actually, the gods' level is only 10."
"You said, gods are only Level 10?" Rovik's eyebrows, hidden by golden glasses, furrowed slightly.
"I cannot agree with that, student Aisha!"
Slapping the coffee table, Nia jumped up excitedly, her chocolate mochi ( referring to her breasts) jiggling three times.
"As the strongest existence among Duel Monsters, Kami (卡密 - Kǎmì - God), must be Level 12!"
"It's Level 10." You Ling argued based on reason, because he had seen the truth with his own eyes.
"Level 12!"
"Level 10."
"You two, stop arguing."
Glasses flashing, Rovik seemed to have noticed a certain possibility.
"Student Aisha Carlos, could it be that you've seen a God Card?"
"Mm, I had the honor of witnessing one, but I can't say the specific reason."
"So it's like that." Rovik pushed up his glasses.
"Actually, President Nia's firm belief that gods are Level 12 isn't without reason. In the High-Level Research, there exists such a card, tracing back its history, it should be a card left by a senior 12 years ago... unusable, a sealed God Card."
"!!!"
The silver-white ahoge atop her head stood erect; having played with Aisha's body a lot, You Ling had also skillfully mastered this skill of expressing emotions with the ahoge.
"A sealed God Card, can you show it to me!"
"Sorry, according to the rules set by the senior, only members of the High Elf Research Society are qualified to see that card."
"I'll join the club!"
Without a shred of hesitation, You Ling joined the club on the spot.
Aisha: "(°Д°) Don't make decisions for me, Mr. You Ling. I want to be in the Go-Home-After-School Club forever!"
Such a weak-willed host, how could the Go-Home-After-School Club be as important as a God Card.
"Since student Aisha is joining, I'll join too."
For his destined rival, Kevin also resolutely abandoned his Go-Home-After-School Club identity.
Nia said: "Don't forget, Kevin, you're not even qualified to join the club."
