Chapter 39. Ascending to Obelisk Blue! That's incredible!
"Masked Hero Furnace Fire! Directly attack the opponent!"
As You Chen's voice faded, the Masked Hero Furnace leaped high into the air, its burning flames coalescing into a blazing torrent that swept towards Professor Chronos.
boom--!
-2200LP!
"ah!!"
Professor Chronos screamed as the shockwave from the flames sent him staggering backward. His health bar dropped from 4400 to 2200.
But it's not over yet.
"And—[Masked Hero Dark Demon] attacks directly!"
No sooner had You Chen finished speaking than the hero clad in dark armor roared forth. The Dark Demon's figure blurred into a streak, instantly appearing before Professor Chronos, its claws whipping down with a fierce gust of wind.
-2800LP!
"Waaaaah!! Mommy!!"
Professor Chronos covered his head with both hands, as if all his strength had been drained away. He staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
His health points reached zero, and the Duel Disk emitted a piercing alarm.
Lost.
A professor from the Duel Academy, a prestigious institution, actually lost.
And the defeat was so decisive and so frustrating.
From beginning to end, he didn't even touch a single drop of You Chen's blood.
Every step he took was defended, every counterattack was neutralized, his trump card was deflected, and his core was eliminated. He was completely dominated by a newcomer.
Professor Chronos stood there, his expression blank, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, until finally he could only bite his collar and let out a pitiful whimper.
The entire room fell silent for a second.
Immediately, a deafening scream erupted.
"Holy crap!! We won?!"
"This freshman actually beat Professor Chronos?!"
"And a clean sweep?! The professor didn't even lose a single drop of blood?!"
"Am I seeing things? Professor Chronos's rare deck was just wiped out like that?"
"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"
"Such a strong freshman..."
In the stands, Marufuji Sho's eyes were wide open, his face filled with admiration.
"So strong..." he murmured to himself, his voice filled with longing, "When can I be like him..."
Daichi Misawa pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a white light. His expression was serious, his brows furrowed.
"As expected of 001..." he murmured, "This strength is terrifying."
Wan Zhangmu stood to the side, his face so dark it could drip water. He gritted his teeth and forced out a sentence:
"This kid's strength... is actually this strong."
On the second-floor stands, Asuka Tenjouin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a knowing smile.
She didn't speak, but simply stared at the tall figure below, her eyes flashing with an unusual light.
Marufuji Ryo remained with his arms crossed, expressionless. But his gaze never left Yu Chen.
On the dueling field.
You Chen withdrew his hand, looked at the professor opposite him who was still biting his clothes, and asked in a calm tone:
"So, I should be able to advance to Obelisk Blue now, right?"
Professor Chronos looked up, his face filled with grievance, resentment, and a complex mix of emotions that were hard to define.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
All it could do was bite its own clothes and let out a whimper in response.
What else can be said?
A loss is a loss.
……
three days later.
You Chen officially completed the enrollment procedures and, based on his victory over Professor Chronos in the practical assessment, was directly promoted to a member of the Obelisk Blue Dormitory.
The college specially assigned a senior student to guide him.
The two walked up the stone steps on the hillside, passed through the dormitory area of Sun God Huang, and finally arrived at the highest point of the academy.
Oberylsk Blue.
You Chen stopped and looked up at the building in front of him.
The three dormitories, red, yellow, and blue, correspond to the names and colors of the three Egyptian Gods—Osiris, Apollo, and Obelisk.
At first glance, the strongest of the God Cards should be the Winged Dragon of Ra, the sun god, but its dormitory is only ranked in the middle.
Those who are not familiar with the inside story will likely be confused by this.
But as a fan of the original work, You Chen was well aware of the intricacies involved.
After all, the founder of the academy was Seto Kaiba.
His own God Card is Obelisk the Tormentor.
and so……
You Chen smiled and didn't think about it any further. Some things, those who understand, understand.
The senior student who was leading the way saw him staring blankly at the building and assumed he was stunned. She smiled and explained, "Is this your first time in the Blue Dormitory? It's normal. I was stunned the first time I came here too."
She pointed to the buildings in front of her, her tone tinged with pride.
"Obelisc Blue is the only dormitory with separate buildings for men and women. The design is said to be inspired by the Château de Chambord in France. Just look at the style—doesn't it have a particularly aristocratic feel?"
You Chen nodded noncommittally.
The senior student continued walking forward, introducing the topic as she went.
"You know the red dormitory, it's all bunk beds with several people crammed into one room, communal showers and communal meals, you just have to make do. The yellow dormitory is much better, it's a standard double room, spacious, with individual air conditioning and a large desk. The cafeteria is a buffet, you can eat as much as you want."
She paused, then pushed open a door.
"As for our blue dorm room—you can see for yourself."
You Chen went inside.
The room was more spacious than I had imagined.
A standard Western-style single bed was placed against the wall, with a soft, thick mattress and pristine white cotton bedding. An elegant table lamp sat on the bedside table.
By the window is a large desk, complete with a computer. Next to it is a full-wall wardrobe with sliding doors, large enough to fit a person inside.
Even more outrageous, there was a set of sofas and a small coffee table in the corner.
The senior student pointed to a door deep inside the room.
"There are private washrooms and bathrooms over there, so you don't have to squeeze into a public bathhouse with others. There's air conditioning, heating, and 24-hour hot water."
She walked to the window, drew back the curtains, and sunlight streamed in.
"Oh, and there's also dedicated service. Every day, a waiter will come to clean your room, organize your card deck, perform card deck maintenance, and even help you schedule your day—whenever you need it."
You Chen raised an eyebrow.
Deck maintenance?
Personalized service?
Is this the treatment in the Blue Dorm?
The senior student looked at him, smiled, and asked, "How was it? Not bad, right?"
You Chen nodded, sincerely exclaiming, "It's really good."
"Not to mention the food." The senior student pointed to another building outside the window, "That's the Blue Dormitory's independent dining hall, comparable to a high-end restaurant. You can order French and Japanese food as you like, and there are dedicated waiters to serve you."
After listening, You Chen finally understood why so many people were desperate to get into Lan's dormitory.
The difference is enormous.
Red dorms represent survival, yellow dorms represent life, and blue dorms represent enjoyment.
He recalled the days when he almost starved to death on the streets, and looking at the suite in front of him, he suddenly felt that the duel was well worth it.
However, he still prefers Chinese food.
The eight major cuisines of China—frying, stir-frying, braising, stewing, and simmering—that truly represents the pinnacle of culinary delights. Even the finest French and Japanese cuisine falls short compared to Chinese food.
"Then I'll lead you this way." She stepped forward, handing over a slip of paper, her voice soft, "Um... could I add you on the phone? If I have any questions later, I can ask you..."
You Chen was taken aback for a moment, then gave an apologetic smile.
"Sorry, I don't have a cell phone."
After saying that, he turned and went into the room.
The senior student stood at the door, blinked, and the shyness on her face gradually froze, finally turning into a look of grievance.
"Fine, I won't add it then..." she muttered under her breath, "Nobody would believe that excuse."
What she didn't know was that You Chen really didn't have a cell phone.
