Women Will Only Slow Down My Card Drawing!

After all, the system shop refreshed randomly every two days, offering four new options each time.

If he missed it this time,

there was no telling when the ability to see spirits would appear again!

Fortunately, counting today, he still had two days.

He still had time to earn the points.

And at Duel Academy, opportunities to duel were the one thing he would never lack.

If all else failed, weren't there three ready-made tools right beside him?

Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, and Bastion Misawa.

The one thing that left Jiang He a little speechless was that

the point prices for the other three decks in the shop were rather strange.

Sure enough,

with this damned system of his, the points needed to exchange for those hellish "healing" decks

were bound to be higher than for a normal deck!

In fact, they cost a full twice as much!

Jiang He was naturally quite familiar with Zane Truesdale's Cyber Dragon deck.

It could be considered a basic version of the Cyber Dragon archetype.

Although it couldn't compare to the complete Cyber Dragon deck from later years, before he transmigrated,

combinations of Spell Cards like Power Bond and Limiter Removal could easily produce a monster with more than 16,000 attack points.

There was no way it could be considered weak.

Used properly, it was even enough to crush most people in this dueling world.

Yet in the system shop,

it only cost 500 emotion points to exchange for it...

A full half the price of the next two hellish decks, whose names alone made them sound very "healing"!

"Wow, the view of the sea from up here is really nice!"

"That's the island where Duel Academy is, right?"

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Then, from not far away, the excited voices of Syrus Truesdale, Jaden Yuki, and the others suddenly rang out.

Hearing them, Jiang He couldn't help looking out the helicopter window beside his seat.

He soon saw the sky-blue sea rushing past below, along with an island resting quietly on the water in the distance!

The back half of the island was covered in bare, brownish rocks, with a smoking volcano.

The front half, by contrast, was lush and green, with magnificent high-tech buildings and waterfalls all around.

The contrast was striking!

This was clearly where GX Duel Academy was located!

"The scenery seems even better than I remembered," Jiang He said, nodding in approval as he looked at the island drawing closer.

Living on an island like this wouldn't be bad.

More importantly, GX Academy provided a certain amount of living supplies and food!

He had barely any money on him after transmigrating here...

Those provisions were just what he needed.

"I'm getting more and more excited too!" Jaden Yuki said, his face full of excitement when he heard Jiang He.

"I wonder what it's like inside," Syrus Truesdale said from his seat behind them, looking just as eager.

Seeing the two of them like that, Jiang He didn't know whether he should tell them the truth.

They were definitely about to be disappointed...

As far as he knew, Duel Academy divided its students into three ranks, giving them different treatment according to their rank.

Before long, the helicopter arrived at Duel Academy.

Jiang He and the others were led into an enormous, tiered lecture hall, where they watched the screen at the front.

A bald Wu Ke... ahem, the principal of GX Duel Academy, said a few encouraging words.

Then everyone was assigned a dorm based on their duel test results.

"So I did get assigned to Slifer Red..." Jiang He said speechlessly, though he had expected it, looking at the long red coat and Duel Academy student communicator he had received.

Duel Academy divided its student dorms and their corresponding conditions into three ranks named after the Egyptian God Cards: Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow, and Slifer Red.

Although he had passed the practical duel test by defeating Professor Crowler, who had administered it, without losing any life points,

he hadn't taken the earlier written exam at all. In fact, he hadn't even transmigrated here at the time.

As a result, his written exam score had been recorded as zero.

That had dragged down his average.

On top of that, the petty Professor Crowler had probably pulled a few strings behind the scenes.

Thus, he too had been assigned to Slifer Red, the worst of the three dorms.

Fortunately, he had two idiots for company...

Jiang He looked over at the two hot-blooded fools not far away, who were excitedly checking their profiles on their Duel Academy communicators.

Jiang He wanted to find more people to duel and give them a depressing "smile," so being assigned to Slifer Red wasn't a bad choice!

Chapter 8: Women Will Only Slow Down My Card Drawing!

"Jiang He, you got assigned to the Slifer Red dorm too!"

Seeing Jiang He holding a long red coat, Jaden Yuki immediately beamed.

Then he put on a smug expression.

"As expected of someone who beat Professor Crowler, just like me!"

"Jaden, don't tell me you think Slifer Red is some kind of good dorm...?" Jiang He glanced at Jaden Yuki's smug expression, the corner of his mouth twitching as he took him down a peg.

It seemed that Jaden Yuki wasn't the only one who thought so; Syrus Truesdale did too.

He wasn't surprised about the former, a hot-blooded fool and card gamer who cared only about dueling.

But the latter was the younger brother of Zane Truesdale, the top student at Duel Academy.

He was also a native of this dueling world.

Yet he didn't know Duel Academy's rules either...

Jiang He could only say, good grief, no wonder those two had hit it off so easily.

He was now seriously worried that if he spent too long with these two hot-blooded fools, it might rub off on him...

"All right, let's go check out the dorm first. Then you'll know what Slifer Red is really like."

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Jiang He waved a hand as he spoke.

He didn't need to explain.

Once they reached the Slifer Red dorm, someone would clear things up for the two hot-blooded fools.

"Huh? Oh..." Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale exchanged puzzled looks.

Then they followed Jiang He toward the Slifer Red dorm, using the map on their Duel Academy student communicators.

After passing through an area, they reached a secluded spot near the sea.

There stood an ordinary red-and-white dorm building that couldn't have been any simpler!

Behind it was the sky-blue sea, making the place seem quite open and empty.

Low emotional intelligence: shabby and run-down.

High emotional intelligence: unbeatable ocean view.

Jiang He grumbled inwardly.

"Th-this is way too shabby!!" Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale were stunned when they saw it!

The two clutched their heads and nearly broke down, jumping up on the spot!

"You two should be in the first dorm room at the top of the outdoor stairs. Mine's next to yours, so I'll head over first."

Jiang He said goodbye to the two and walked off toward the dorm room he had been assigned.

For the moment, he paid them no further attention.

Once he entered his room,

Jiang He looked around and found that the conditions weren't as bad as he remembered from the original story.

Of course, it was still very ordinary.

There was a large bed in the middle and fairly comfortable tatami mats on the floor.

Other than that, there was nothing...

Unexpectedly, the room he had been assigned was a single!

Unlike a certain hot-blooded fool's room...

"Jiang He, we've come to visit!"

Just as Jiang He was looking around and thinking, he heard Jaden Yuki's voice outside the half-closed door.

Jiang He then saw Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale arrive.

"Huh?! Why do you get a single room, Jiang He?!"

As soon as Jaden Yuki entered, his eyes widened.

Syrus Truesdale was so envious he nearly cried!

"We're all in Slifer Red, but the room Big Brother and I got is shared by three people!"

In just that short time, Syrus Truesdale had already started calling Jaden "Big Brother."

Jiang He wasn't surprised in the least.

After all, that was how it had been in his memory.
