Chapter 865: The Gang-up of Justice
Chapter 865: The Gang-up of Justice
"What did you say?!"
Sato, who had maintained a calm demeanor until just a moment ago, suddenly erupted in fury, his eyes blazing with anger.
But Yu Xuan stared back at him, fearless, and calmly repeated himself, enunciating each word.
"I said, with no offense intended, but your class is indeed garbage."
Sato's forehead twitched with rage.
Since leaving the professional dueling circuit and the duel arenas, teaching at Duel Academy had become his entire world. This was so important to him that he had come to deeply resent Jida in the original story for not setting a good example and leading other students astray.
Yet, all Jida had done was fail to be a positive role model and misguide the other students.
But this guy, standing before him, had the audacity to call his class garbage to his face! How could he bear it? How could he possibly tolerate this?!
Sato's face darkened, "You better know what you're saying, Yu Xuan."
"Of course, I do," Yu Xuan replied nonchalantly. "The reason I didn't choose your class is that I find it utterly worthless. Perhaps it's the essence of your years of experience in the professional circuit, but to me, your teachings are rigid and outdated, lacking innovative ideas or practical training methods to improve."
Yu Xuan paused, then chuckled lightly and added, "Also, you blame your failures on me, but the truth is, no one was ever interested in attending your class. Want to know why?"
"Your class is inherently boring and useless. I didn't need to set an example for others to make the same choice. I didn't just avoid your class; there are many others I'm not interested in. But do those teachers also end up with no students attending their classes, like you?"
Sato was speechless.
"And the late Dade Si," Yu Xuan sighed. "He was the teacher I respected and liked the most when I was at the Academy. I never missed a single one of his alchemy classes and was never late or left early.
But look, even though I attended every one of his alchemy classes, the attendance rate for Dade Si's lessons was still low. So, you see, how come my reputation as the Duel King doesn't work here anymore?"
Sato clenched his teeth, saying nothing.
"Face the facts, teacher. The truth is, you're incompetent," Yu Xuan said coldly. "You were once a professional duelist, so you should understand that in the professional world, incompetence is a cardinal sin.
And in the world of education, failure to educate is just as damning.
I don't question your passion for teaching or the dedication you've shown. I respect that, teacher. But let me be frank: you're simply not skilled enough for this job."
Yu Xuan paused, then smiled.
"I'm considering suggesting to the principal that you be reassigned to a position other than lecturer. Because, to be honest, you're not suitable here, not even for Duel Academy."
Sato trembled with anger, looking like he was about to explode.
He glared at Yu Xuan with a chilling stare, "Do you really think you own Duel Academy, Yu Xuan Torik?"
"I'm merely offering suggestions as a student concerned about the Academy's development. Besides..."
Yu Xuan tilted his head in confusion.
"Isn't that so?"
"Aaaaaaahhhh!"
Sato, unable to contain his rage any longer, burst into fury and activated his Duel Disk.
"Well, it seems a duel is the only way to settle this, as expected," Yu Xuan smiled and activated his Duel Disk as well.
As soon as Sato appeared, he could sense the dark influence on him, something that ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect.
If his suspicions were correct, it was likely the aura of Yubel.
Yubel was adept at amplifying the darkness within a person, causing their hidden dark thoughts to surface and twist them into anger, compelling them to act on impulses that they might normally only entertain in their minds.
Sato was under this influence, perhaps due to Yubel granting a portion of her power to Professor Cobra, who in turn had awakened the darkness within Sato, prompting him to test You Xuan.
Only a verbal barrage could wake someone up, and even then, it would require a protagonist with a seafood head to pull it off. To dispel this influence, a duel was the more reliable option.
"Duel!" x2
[You Xuan, LP 4000]
[Sato, LP 4000]
"I'll go first, and draw a card!"
Sato's eyes were bloodshot, and he appeared to be in a state of rage from the start.
"I summon 'Wound Scab Knight'!"
The moment this monster was summoned, an eerie atmosphere enveloped the arena, and the air in the field seemed to grow heavier.
Amidst a cloud of smoke and mist, a knight clad in heavy armor slowly rose. However, the armor was riddled with scars and various wounds, resembling the badges of honor on a seasoned warrior. Some of the cracks were so severe that pieces of the armor occasionally broke off and fell to the ground.
[Wound Scab Knight, Attack 0]
You Xuan recognized the monster at a glance. It was a monster with a spirit dwelling within, but years of battles had caused the spirit to accumulate considerable damage. Its heart was stained with darkness, exuding a malevolent aura.
This card was an animated card without a real-life counterpart, symbolizing Sato's heart as a duelist and serving as his primary monster.
"I set a card, and my turn is over."
"Wound Knight, this is the ace that I fought alongside with in the professional circuit."
You Xuan spoke.
"Then I'll have to bring out a monster worthy of facing such an opponent. My turn, and I draw a card!"
You Xuan drew a card and then solemnly summoned a monster from his hand.
"I normal summon these guys. Come forth,
—Black Scorpion Bandits!"
As the card was played on the duel disk, several monsters swiftly flew out. A group of bandits jumped onto the field, chattering noisily.
"Watch it, we're all sharing a slot now!" Zarug's rough voice scolded, "Zeek, I'm talking to you! Pay attention to your positioning!"
Zeek shrank back in panic: "S-sorry, boss!"
Mina's face contorted: "Boss, could you please move over a bit? Your revolver is poking me."
Zarug's face reddened: "Sorry, it's a bit cramped here."
[Black Scorpion Bandits, Attack 1000]
Sato's eyes widened in disbelief.
Were these unruly bandits the "worthy opponents" he mentioned?
"Battle!" You Xuan commanded. "Black Scorpion Bandits, attack 'Wound Scab Knight'!"
Zarug's voice boomed: "You heard the boss!"
Highgo's voice echoed: "Charge!"
The Black Scorpions rushed forward with great momentum, surrounding the defenseless knight who had no attack power. They pinned him to the ground, pummeling him with a barrage of punches and kicks.
A righteous mob attack.
