Chapter 74 The Secret of that Year
The content related to Asuka's Onii-chan, in short, is that more than a year ago, an accident suddenly occurred at the Duel Academy, which caused more than a dozen students to go missing, including Asuka's brother, Tenjouin Fubuki.
This incident had a huge impact after it happened. After all, if the school can't even guarantee the safety of students, no one will be willing to send their children here.
In fact, according to the information that Li Zheng casually searched on the Internet, if Kaiba Group hadn't had a master who specialized in dealing with such metaphysical events (a certain witch: hehehehehe~), and if Kaiba Seto hadn't personally dealt with "Sea Turtle Bad Beast Jamishil" not long ago and accumulated a huge amount of reputation, Pacific Rim Duel Academy would probably have been ruined that year.
Afterwards, a large number of leaders of Pacific Rim Duel Academy, including the principal at that time, resigned, and the previous principal, Samejima Soishi, who had already resigned as the principal of Pacific Rim Duel Academy, had to take office again, continuing his gardening career while also using a large number of new cadres.
The impact of this incident is still there. Asuka came to this duel academy more to find her brother than to learn duel skills.
As Asuka and Marufuji Ryo took Ojiaou away from the lighthouse. After passing through the barren forest, the three of them came to an abandoned mansion.
There was a "No Entry" sign in front of the mansion. It also looked very shabby, but it still showed how glorious and magnificent it was in the past.
"Ga-ga-ga-ga-" The crow's cry came from the other side of the mansion, and at this time everyone could see a crow standing above the mansion.
"This crow..." Asuka covered her mouth in surprise-because she could clearly see that the crow had three eyes!
Three... blood-red eyes!
Although Ojiaou on the side was not so surprised, he was also ready for defense at any time-obviously, no one would feel comfortable after seeing this crow. This three-eyed crow was an ominous symbol no matter how you looked at it.
"Did you see it?" Marufuji Ryo looked back at the surprised Asuka and Ogiao. He often came to this place, so it was no surprise. The two girls were obviously seeing the scene here for the first time, so it was understandable that they were so surprised.
"This is the Hatawu - they have been wandering here since 'that incident'. But as duel elves, ordinary students and professors can't see them." Marufuji Ryo explained briefly and turned to the girls in front of him and said, "And this is where your brother disappeared. At the same time, it also has another identity. It is the club where we gathered with a group of like-minded friends back then."
"Your club?" Ogiao grasped this key word - that is to say, this Western-style mansion, which can reveal the luxury of the past even if it is dilapidated, is the "industry" of Marufuji Ryo and Tenjouin Fubuki back then?
"It's just a memory of the past - the school allows students to form their own groups, just like other schools' clubs." Marufuji Ryo explained briefly: "And outstanding student groups can apply for land in the school to build their own 'headquarters', and this is our headquarters back then."
A cold wind blew, and the sign in front of the abandoned luxurious mansion was shaky, and at this time it was also turned by the wind, so that everyone could see the name of the mansion.
Dragon Soul Hall
"Why is it called this name?" Asuka was still lost in memories and thoughts, so it was Ogiao who asked this question. She boldly guessed: "Is your association specialized in studying dragon monsters?"
"No... no." Marufuji Ryo shook his head, "It's just because the decks of several of our founders all have ace monsters with the word 'dragon' in their names. I have my 'Electronic End Dragon', and Fubuki has his own 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon', and the other one... Damn, why can't I remember it again?"
"Again?" Asuka's eyes widened after hearing this word. She hurried over and stared at Caesar with her beautiful eyes, bowed and begged: "Can you... try to think about it? Please."
"I'll try..." Caesar smiled bitterly and began his recollection, but after a long time, he had no other gains except for his increasingly painful temples.
He sighed and shook his head at Asuka with a bitter look on his face. He really couldn't remember more.
Faced with such a situation, Asuka could not force Caesar. She smiled bitterly and stepped back, thanking him. Caesar said that Fubuki's matter was also his business, and he would not sit idly by even without Asuka's request.
At this time, Marufuji Ryo rubbed his temples in distress - he has been like this recently. Whenever he recalls things related to the association in the past, especially when he thinks of the missing members, his head will suddenly hurt. He was able to remember "Tenjoin Fubuki" only after seeing "Tenjoin Asuka" on the list of freshmen.
And whenever he wants to think of other members, especially the core member who established the association with him and Fubuki, he will feel a tingling pain - obviously, some supernatural power does not intend to let him remember these things.
"It seems... there will be no progress today." Caesar, whose headache was slightly better, said to Asuka apologetically: "I'm sorry that I couldn't help much today."
"No... I'm very grateful." Asuka shook her head slightly, then looked at the dilapidated Dragon Soul Hall with some attachment, and after staring at the "Bataiwu" on the roof for a while, she resisted the urge to go in and find out immediately, and turned back and said: "Let's find a time when we are more prepared. I think we can definitely find some clues here... Today, let's go back first."
Caesar and Ojia nodded - indeed, there is no telling what kind of traps and unknowns are waiting for those who break in. If you go in without being prepared, it is obviously a suicide. However, everyone understands the truth, but there are very few people who can think of this calmly in Asuka's position.
After Asuka and Ojia said goodbye to Marufuji Ryo, they each walked towards their own dormitories.
No words along the way.

[“Li Zheng, are you listening?”]
On the way back to the dormitory, Ojiaou was contacting Li Zheng where Asuka couldn’t see him.
[“I’m listening. If you have something to say, just tell me.”] Since leaving the Dragon Soul Hall, Li Zheng has been playing the game console in his inner room. As long as he goes to the place where the incident happened, he can know everything about it and even give a solution, but he has never said it.
Because he can see that Ojiaou wants to participate in this matter, but her current strength is not enough to participate in this incident...
So this will undoubtedly be an excellent motivation for her to move forward - and this kind of progress is something that only he can give her.
