Chapter 71: The Geese Pluck Their Feathers and the Beasts Leave, Leaving Their Skins Behind
"Has Shimada-san... been hit too hard?" In the hot spring pool, Junko supported Ogion beside her, with a worried look on her face, "Hey Asuka, you say... facing a monster with an attack power of 9000 points, will you really be hit like this?"
Ogion was not the only one among the four tonight who was abused by the seniors. In fact, after Ogion was defeated by Kohinata Seika, the seniors successively found Junko, Baihui and Asuka.
Then, among the three, except for Asuka who used "Secondary Turn" to force a draw due to the carelessness of a senior, Junko and Baihui were defeated in the duel with seniors, and even lost miserably.
But for the freshmen tonight, defeat is also a common result, and it will not turn into what Ogion is like now-among the freshmen tonight, only Yuki Judai and Manjomu Jun completed the counterattack against the seniors, and even Misawa Daichi could only rely on "Wheel of Destruction" to fight a draw in the end.
"This has nothing to do with the attack power of the opponent's monster, right? It should be another reason."
Looking at Ojiaou who looked confused even in the hot spring, Asuka sighed slightly - she didn't know why Ojiaou, who seemed very strong, would collapse after a duel. But she knew it was definitely not because of the attack power of "Ananda".
"Other reasons?" Baihui, who was soaking in the hot spring nearby, also came over.
"Just a monster with high attack power... It's not like this - I heard... I heard a senior tell me." Junko and Baihui, who were focusing on Ojiaou, didn't notice Asuka's strange pause at this time, and only heard her continue: "He told me that Caesar of the Duel Academy often summoned monsters with an attack power of more than 15,000, and he didn't see any of his opponents become as depressed as Ojiaou now."
After Asuka explained a little, she came over again, looked at Ojiaou's melancholy face that had not changed for a long time, and said uncertainly: "Ojiaou will become like this... It should be related to her. "
"Something that you hold on to?" This very abstract statement was beyond the comprehension of Junko and Baihui.
Asuka thought of Ojiaou's hands that looked delicate and beautiful but actually had wounds and calluses, and knew that the girl in front of her was quite serious to some extent.
Did the duel tonight hit her self-esteem? If that was the case, it would be too bad...
Thinking of this, Asuka no longer wanted to continue taking a hot spring bath - in fact, they had decided to come here to cheer up Ojiaou through the comfortable hot springs, but now it seemed useless.
So the three girls prepared to help Ojiaou leave here first - it was not a good habit to let a confused person take a hot spring bath.
——————Rokubu The Gate of the Duel Academy -------
That night, at the seaside of the Duel Academy.
The girl in the red uniform of Osiris was walking here alone. The sea breeze blew on her face, making her feel a little more real.
How long ago was the last time she was so confused?
The girl didn't remember that since her sister left home, she had been crazy about her own practice, striving to be the best in every part. At that time, Ojiaou had no mind to be confused-the girl at that time only needed to do her own things and practice kendo well, and didn't need to think about other things.
But today, the situation is completely different.
When she saw the seemingly unrivaled "Evil Dragon Ananda", she fell into despair and confusion for a moment. Under the deliberate guidance of a certain spirit, Ojiaou can feel that the "Yamata no Orochi" in front of her is not just a three-dimensional image, but also a powerful duel spirit!
This is the first time that the girl has come into close contact with such an existence. Before this, whether it is the powerful "Three Phantom Demons" and "Phantom Dragon" that only exist in urban legends, or the "Turtle Beast Jamishil" that almost became a natural disaster in the past, they are just "heard" to Ojiaou.
Many times, you often don't know how powerful it is without real contact - when Ananda uses murderous aura to lock Ojiaou, the girl can feel that the swordsmanship, duel skills, etc. that she has practiced for many years are all useless!
But if it is just facing the pressure of "Evil Dragon Ananda", it will not be enough to make Ojiaou Jiaou became like this - at most, he realized the insufficiency of his strength and went back to practice hard.
The bigger turning point came from behind him, from a development that he had never thought of before - Li Zheng, who seemed to have been selling inferior plug-ins beside him, actually frightened the seemingly invincible duel elf "Evil Dragon Ananda" with just a look and a warning? !
This... Why haven't I realized that this guy is so powerful for so long?
And such a contrast made the girl suddenly fall into confusion. She began to doubt herself, and at the same time, she had countless random thoughts. These messy things rushed into her mind at the same time with the collapse of beliefs and settings, giving the girl a headache.
That's why she has been in a state of confusion, so she chose to come out at this time, blow the sea breeze, and hope to calm down a little.
At the same time, she was also waiting for someone to respond to her - although she had always thought that this voice was always torturing her and making her feel irritated in the past few days, at this time she hoped that the voice would sound from her ears as soon as possible.
Walking to a lighthouse near the Duel Academy, Ojiaou looked at the sea at this time and continued to wait in the cold wind.
Fortunately, perhaps because the girl had finally worn out her patience, the voice of a certain spirit behind her rang helplessly in Ojia's ears: ["You... you don't have to take so long to talk to me - why bother? You can just kneel down and beg me."]
["No... I didn't come out because I had a problem and wanted to find you to figure it out!"] For some reason, Ojia, who had been thinking about asking Li Zheng for an explanation before, became furious after really hearing this guy's voice: ["And you think too much! Even if I have a huge problem, I won't kneel down and beg you!"]
["Yes, yes... I overstepped my boundaries."] With an apology that sounded insincere, Li Zheng's spirit emerged from the "Rokushaku Jade Magatama" on the girl's chest. At this time, he was still holding a fan, but the fan was changed from the Chinese scholar's folding fan to a common feather fan...
No, it was not a feather fan, but a strange fan made by softening a super long snake scale...
"What is this fan?" Seeing that there was no one around, Ojiaou gave up using the spiritual communication method and used her mouth and human language to communicate with Li Zheng again - she still preferred this real communication method, even though Li Zheng always said that it was too inefficient.
["Oh, it's the Ananda from before."] Li Zheng explained indifferently: ["When a goose passes by, it plucks its feathers, and when a beast leaves, it leaves its skin; I finally met this guy, so I naturally had to pluck a few of its scales and use them to make a fan to fan myself, so that I can stay calm at any time."]
Ojiaou: "...Why do I suddenly feel that it is a wrong choice to find this guy?"
After all, even if Li Zheng seems to be very strong, he looks... too unreliable.
