Chapter 857 Mantis Stalks the Cicada
Duel Academy Island.
Raging waves lapped the island, and the thin moonlight barely illuminated the moss and ferns on the ground through the dense canopy, like the only faint life in this silent place.
Professor Cobra from Occidental College walked in this forest, dead branches crunching under his feet. The air was filled with indescribable heaviness and depression, as if even breathing was starting to become heavy.
Professor Cobra holds the device in his hand. He walked up and down, as if he was relying on that thing to get his bearings.
This is his first time on the island. The island of Duel Academy gave him an indescribable feeling so far, especially in the middle of the night in this dense forest. The surrounding towering ancient trees cast huge shadows, intertwined like an invisible net, tightly wrapping all outsiders.
It doesn't look like a school, but like the forbidden territory of a certain demon king.
But the professor finally found what he was looking for.
Buried deep in the island is an abandoned laboratory.
The rusty metal door stood ajar, like a portal to another world. The dim moonlight faintly penetrated behind the broken glass window, and a cool wind passed through the cracks, making a low moan.
You would never imagine how many mysterious things are hidden on an island that seems to have only one school.
This place was originally an animal-based laboratory, with the purpose of exploring the possibility of teaching animals to play cards. It may sound like nonsense at first, but in fact their research has been proven to be feasible.
When Judai and others were in the first grade, a monkey who knew how to play cards escaped from this laboratory and even had a duel with Judai.
Some scholars believe that animals have a higher natural affinity with elves than humans, so they want animals to play cards to explore their connection with the elves world. However, the project was later deemed to be cruel to animals and was ordered to be stopped.
The lights quickly turned on, and the computer screen in the central control room also lit up, illuminating Professor Cobra's majestic and horrifying face.
"Old equipment." Cobra was a little disgusted and snorted, "Well, at least it's still usable."
As he spoke, he tapped on the console for a while and brought up the surveillance screen. What is projected in each screen is a scene inside the Duel Academy.
This is the surveillance equipment that he has secretly placed throughout the Duel Academy, as well as some mobile probes. Mobile cameras that are so small that they can hardly be captured by the naked eye travel around the college, helping him to grasp the first-hand situation in this school as quickly as possible.
In this way, any movement in the school is basically under his control.
Thinking of this, Professor Cobra raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a dangerous smile like a cobra.
Although the situation has changed a bit from what was expected, overall it is still under control.
Duel King You Xuan. I didn’t expect that his influence in this school would be so great even on the surface. Judging from this attitude, this guy is probably going to start an uprising and say that he wants to overthrow the principal's rule, and all the teachers and students in the school will support him. No, maybe Samejima himself will support it.
And he mentioned that he wanted to duel with him. Could it be that he already doubted himself?
Cobra held his chin and thought for a moment.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, his purpose was just to absorb enough duel energy to resurrect the adult. The original plan was to go into battle myself if the energy was not enough in the end. The professor is actually quite confident in his dueling abilities.
Duel King, it’s okay to meet. A duel with this guy should produce quite good quality energy.
Everything is under control.
But Professor Cobra, who was thinking this way, had obviously never heard of an old saying.
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole stalks behind it.
Professor Cobra, who was monitoring every move of the entire college, was completely unaware that the camera where he was smiling obscenely at the surveillance screen was also being monitored by others at this time.
You Xuan looked at Cobra on the floating projection screen in his hand, and said to himself: "It's rare that I still remember the plot after so many years. This old fox really hid in this shabby laboratory."
Qian Jin was carrying a parasol and looking around.
"This man doesn't seem like a good person. Master, do you want me?"
She stopped talking, showed her little tiger teeth again, and made a wiping gesture on her white throat.
You Xuan glanced at her helplessly: "Can you please stop being so bloody? You will be banned for eighteen years."
Qian Jin made a weak look: "But I am originally a vampire."
"But what she said makes sense."
Black Scorpion Mina, who was wearing a white coat and clearly identified as the school doctor, also said beside her.
"This person has bad intentions at first glance, don't you need to kill him?"
"It's okay." You Xuan smiled, "I know what he is going to do, I know it in my heart."
After hearing what he said, the elves said nothing more.

After getting up and leaving his laboratory, Yu Xuan walked a few steps along the corridor when he bumped into little Hinata Seika-senpai.
In fact, the senior sister has already graduated from the academy. But later on, You Xuan's laboratory was closely connected with the student union, and Senior Sister Xinghua was helping to take care of many things.
Later, You Xuan also felt that she had already mastered many jobs. If she graduated and left and found someone to take over, it would be troublesome to hand over the work, so she simply hired the senior sister to stay and continue her work with a high salary.
Senior Sister Xinghua feels very lucky now that she thinks about it. Her scientific research ability is average, and although her dueling ability can be said to be outstanding among ordinary people, it seems a bit mediocre among the elites of the academy.
Now You Xuan's laboratory has become a top workplace in the entire dueling world, and every quarter there are talents from all walks of life trying to get in. That is to say, she came in early during the initial stage of the laboratory, and now she can actually hold a management position. She can be regarded as a social elite.
"President, senior sister." You Xuan greeted with a smile.
Little Hinata Xinghua was embarrassed: "You are joking, I have long been no longer the president, and now you are the boss. Since you are here, it just so happens that there is something in the school that I want to ask your opinion on.
I wonder if you are now?”
"Say it."
"That's right. You also know that many of the new students in the college now come here because of you, and the junior and senior students all want to have the opportunity to get in touch with you.
Therefore, the freshmen jointly applied to the college and wanted to send student representatives to apply for an exchange duel with you. I don’t know if that’s true.”
"Oh, that's it. It's okay, but it's a student representative."
You Xuan thought for a while.
"Is this year's first year? Then I think it should be."
Xiaori handed Xinghua a student file.
"Saotome Rei, a new student in La-Huang's dormitory."
You Xuan looked a little strange.
ah? Yellow dormitory?
Isn't Osiris red?
