"I think, Luca, you'll know when we take the actual combat test tomorrow. It's not a fancy way of fighting, and it may disappoint you."
The reason why Aixia is so unconfident is because You Ling changed the training policy.
Although You Ling could completely replace Aisha in the duel, out of consideration for Pharaoh's advice, You Ling decided that, at least in the academy's practical tests, it would be better to let Aisha fight on her own as much as possible.
"Tomorrow is a practical test. Sigh, this is different from Axis Academy."
The practical courses at Axis Academy are from Monday to Wednesday.
There will be three days of actual combat duels every week, and the intensity of such duels is far greater than the once a week duels at Fusheng Academy.
"So, Aisha, do you believe in fate?"
"destiny?"
"It's fate that we are attracted to each other because of some special qualities."
Luca smiled mysteriously.
Just like what the Pharaoh said, the holders of the artifacts will be attracted to each other.
As usual, the order of competition for Friday's practical test will be announced before school ends on Thursday afternoon.
Carrying the fate of the intersection of thousand-year-old divine artifacts, Aisha and Luka stood on the duel field together on the second day of their acquaintance.
Chapter 6: The Darkness of Power 10/
The practical course on Friday is supposed to be based on students’ grades, with pseudo-random permutations and combinations.
The purpose is to allow the students of the academy to duel with as many opponents as possible that are suitable for them, and to make progress in actual combat.
But on the second day of Luca's enrollment, Aisha had to take a practical test with her.
The same thing happened to Kevin in the previous dropout battle.
At critical moments, Aisha always felt that she was being targeted by the randomly arranged system.
There is nothing random about this.
"Xiao Ai, were you happy sharing a room with the beautiful transfer girl last night? Or rather, the happiest person should be You Ling, as he could admire the beautiful blonde girl all the time. How enviable."
Because Aixia finally got a roommate, Yilin, who lost the right to live in Aixia's dormitory, started to get jealous again.
Aisha smiled awkwardly.
"No, Rin-chan. Luca didn't go back to the dormitory last night."
"You didn't go back to the dormitory, why?"
"Luca said that her luggage containing daily necessities had not yet been sent to the school, so she temporarily stayed in a hotel outside the college for one night."
That’s right, there are express delivery services on the Elf Continent, with Griffin Knights responsible for airlifting any luggage, and their efficiency is no less than that of technological civilization.
The only thing missing is an online shopping business. Otherwise, even if I stay in college, I can still enjoy the life of a useless person staying at home until the end of time.
"No wonder I didn't see Luca-san."
Yilin looked around the duel arena. Wherever the beautiful transfer girl went, she would definitely be surrounded by enthusiastic and curious classmates.
As a result, there were quite a few students, including sophomores, who came to watch the fun, but the most crucial figure, Luca Slint, was not seen.
Still in their old seats in the distant stands, Irena and Kema, who had not seen each other for a long time, came once again to watch the practical test for the first graders.
"It's all because of this group of people's over-enthusiasm that the transfer students were scared off from showing up early."
"Humph, no matter how cute she looks, if she's not good at dueling, she's just a vase."
Kemaset, with his arms folded across his chest and looking down calmly, said almost the same lines as Kevin did yesterday.
"That being said, I'm sure you're also interested, Kema. The true strength of the students at Axis Academy who were able to suppress Kevin in the summoning contest."
It is said that Fu Sheng Academy cannot keep secrets at all.
There are so few students in total. What happened in the first-grade classroom yesterday only took a day to spread to the second-grade class, which in turn meant it spread throughout the entire college.
"I am more concerned about Aisha Carlos' duel. If she loses to the transfer student from the Slynt family, it will be the second shame for the Sett family!"
The first humiliation was that Aisha defeated Kevin Sett as the last one. Kema will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge for this.
But no matter what, Aisha Carlos now bears the reputation of defeating Set.
Before this grudge is settled, if she is defeated by other duelists, especially a big family like the Slynt family, which is famous in other countries, the impact on the Set family and even the entire country will be extremely bad.
The world of the powerful sounds magical, but it is so realistic and dirty.
If that happened, Kema could already imagine that all kinds of sarcasm, rumors, and conspiracy theories about the Sett and Sterling families would be overwhelming.
By then, the Carlos family, a fallen noble family caught in the vortex of power, will most likely be easily crushed by the ugly dark side.
"Aisha Carlos, she should know what this duel represents."
"I don't think she has any idea."
Irena said it all.
Looking at Aisha's current performance, we can tell that she is too simple-minded and has never been involved in the intrigues among the nobles.
It is too unrealistic to expect the current Aisha to see through the power struggles between the nobles of different countries through an ordinary practical test.
“I think this is a good thing.”
Compared to the serious Kema, Irena looked relaxed.
"A heart that is not polluted by darkness and ugliness is Aisha. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, it will be easier to perform in a duel."
"It would be nice if it's really like you said."
However, Kema's ominous premonition did not disappear, whether it was about the outcome of today's duel or about Luca Slint herself.
The eldest daughter of the Slint family who transferred to Fusheng College specially is definitely a harbinger of a storm.
……
"Explode! — Black Flame Bomb!"
“Ahhhhhhh! I can’t accept this!!”
Shuiyue No LP: 100 → 0
The black dragon's flames burned the earth, and Kevin once again won the actual combat duel test with a crushing momentum.
The morning test was already halfway through, but Luca was still nowhere to be seen.
"Could something have happened?" Yilin began to worry.
If you think carefully, it would be very dangerous for a girl as cute as Luca to live alone in a hotel outside the school.
After the duel, Teacher Ailin flipped through the list in her hand.
"The next practical test will be between Aisha Yuuna Carlos and Luca Trins. Please take your positions."
"Teacher, Luca seems not to have arrived yet." Aisha raised her hand to signal.
"You haven't arrived yet so late?" Teacher Ailin frowned slightly. "Luka did ask for leave from me yesterday, so she will be a little late. But I didn't expect it to be this late..."
“I, I’m here!”
From the outskirts of the crowd, a girl's tired voice was heard.
Then the crowd consciously made way for the girl.
Luca was seen struggling to drag a suitcase that was even bigger than her petite body, moving towards the duel arena in the middle of the crowd.
You Ling: "So that's what Luca said, a suitcase full of daily necessities? What kind of daily necessities can be packed with so many?"
The person is not big, but the luggage is bigger than him.
A straight man like You Ling would definitely not understand the concerns of a girl living outside.
However, it is rare to see someone like Luca who can drag such a large luggage to live on campus after the college has provided the most basic living necessities.
"Sorry, I'm late, teacher!"
"Well, hurry up and get in position, Luca-san."
After putting down her luggage and standing on the duel field, Luca shook off her tired look and looked at her opponent, Aisha, with a smile on her face.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Aisha-san. Let's begin, happy duel!"
Different from yesterday's cute outfit, Luca's most eye-catching and striking feature today is her slender legs, wrapped in black and white stockings of different colors on the left and right.
It looks like the beauty of heterochromia.
"Well, let's cheer each other on, Luca-san."
Aisha lifted her skirt and drew out the deck.
Ding bell!
Faintly, You Ling heard the sound of wind chimes colliding again.
Chapter 7: Opening Attack 10/
"It's the sound of the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom colliding again."
Although he has never seen the true form of the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom, You Ling still feels very uneasy.
It shouldn't be possible for me to hear it wrong twice.
"Aisha, let me fight this duel."
"But didn't you say, Mr. You Ling, that I have to personally conduct the actual combat tests in the future?"
"This time is an exception. Although it's just my guess, Luca Slynt may not be as simple as she looks."
"(.oˇ?ˇo.) Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me nervous all night for nothing."
After the soul exchange, Aisha, feeling relieved, lay back comfortably in the spiritual room of the Millennium Building Blocks.
Her eyes were slightly stunned, and Luca's aqua blue eyes were filled with meaningful emotional fluctuations.
"So that's how it is. As expected, they are the same type of Stand. I'm really looking forward to it!"
After Luca, Kevin Sett was the second person present to notice You Ling's soul exchange.
Even before Yilin, he captured the soul that had completed the exchange.
"My feeling is correct! Aisha Carlos, the true soul of a duelist will be revealed during a duel. He is the opponent that I am destined to defeat!"
Yilin nodded quietly and said, "I see, You Ling has swapped with Xiao Ai again. It seems like he really takes this duel very seriously."

The duel began, and Luca's elf eyes lit up first, indicating that she had the first move.
"My turn, draw a card!"
Probably not as popular as the Fu Sheng Academy, Luka's deck is normally pinned on her slender waist.
"I summon the Killer Tomato in attack form!"
[Killer Tomato ★★★★ Dark] [Plant Type/Effect ATK: 1400 DEF: 1100]
Like a decoration that only appears during Halloween, a tomato monster with a ferocious expression is materialized and jumping on Luca's field.
"End of round."
After only one summon, Luca put down her hand and declared the end of her turn.
"The legendary transfer student is indeed very cute." Irena, who was in the stands, commented honestly, "And it looks like he's not weak either."
Kema nodded and said, "Killer Tomato is indeed a very troublesome monster. We can't just attack casually like this."
Even though Luca only summoned a monster with low attack power, the turn ended without even covering the card.
But the monster [Killer Tomato] itself has the effect of a last will.
[When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 DARK monster with an ATK of 1500 or less from your Deck in face-up Attack Position on your field.]
If Killer Tomato is destroyed in battle, its effect will be triggered, allowing Luka to Special Summon a Dark monster with an ATK of 1500 or less from her deck.
