“Teacher, since you’re here, can you take a look? Is my deck well-matched? Do I need to replace any cards?” Wen Xiangjie took out more than a dozen epic cards from her small personal bag and asked sincerely, “I have some spare cards here too.”
When Helena saw Wen Xiangjie pull out another dozen epic cards, her face was already numb.
Heh heh, she treasured the four epic cards she got, putting them into her deck as ultimate treasures, while the spare cards the other person casually pulled out were all epic cards.
Isn’t the gap between people a bit too excessive when it’s this big?
“No need to change, it’s already good.” Helena waved her hand weakly, “There’s no need for any special matching for your deck.”
For a numerical monster deck, any talk of matching is a disrespect to its strength.
Whoever touches this deck dies, no matter if they are a once-in-a-century genius or a once-in-a-millennium peerless genius. What good is strategy when a straight flush from 3 to A can’t compare to a pair of Jokers casually thrown down by someone else?
If the student from the neighboring school could beat this freshman named Wen Xiangjie from their school, she would report the neighboring school for secretly using voodoo dolls and black magic on their students.
…Hmm? Oh right! The most uncomfortable person today shouldn’t be her, but the headmaster of the neighboring school!
Helena suddenly stood up and handed Wen Xiangjie’s deck and card drawer back to Wen Xiangjie.
“Wen Xiangjie, please wait here for a moment. I’ll go find the headmaster to come meet you!”
Helena stood up and left the registration room in a hurry.
Wen Xiangjie: ?
Having the headmaster come to meet a freshman, teacher, what kind of talk is that? Is that right?
Hopefully, Teacher Helena won’t be fired tomorrow for stepping into the office with her right foot first.
Helena hurried to the podium, leaned down, and whispered to Headmaster Hillman, “Headmaster, come with me for a moment. I’ll take you to meet a new student from our school.”
Headmaster Hillman: ???
No, have him, a headmaster, personally meet a new student?
That’s simply outrageous!
“Teacher Helena, you…”
“Hurry! Don’t let Danpier find out!” Helena urged.
Hillman observed the expression on Helena’s face, felt that she wasn’t joking with him, and then turned his head to Danpier with a smile, saying, “Headmaster Danpier, there’s a sudden urgent matter at school that I need to handle. Please excuse me for now.”
“No problem, please feel free,” Danpier said with a chuckle, “Just don’t miss the start time of the friendly match.”
This old geezer! Does he not know what it means to leave a line for others, so you can meet again in the future?!
Hitting someone even has to be a slap to the face!
Thirty years to the east, thirty years to the west, do not bully a poor school!
When their school also produces a genius student in the future, he must get back the face he lost today, twofold!
Hillman suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up, and followed Helena out.
Waiting alone in the lounge, Wen Xiangjie soon saw Helena and Headmaster Hillman of their school walk in together.
“Hello, Headmaster!” Wen Xiangjie proactively greeted Hillman, “I am Wen Xiangjie, a new student who just enrolled in the school this year.”
See? She herself is very polite. Teacher Helena’s actions have nothing to do with her; please do not associate them with her.
Hillman nodded, “Hello, Wen Xiangjie.”
He turned his head and secretly glared at Helena, “You were so eager for me to meet Wen Xiangjie, what exactly is the matter?”
“Wen Xiangjie, quickly show your deck to Headmaster Hillman!” This time, Helena was not in a hurry. She folded her arms across her chest, a look of anticipating a good show on her face.
Oh? Could it be that this Wen Xiangjie’s deck is well-matched and has a chance to defeat that genius from the neighboring school?
Hillman became spirited and looked at Wen Xiangjie with some anticipation.
Wen Xiangjie directly placed a stack of cards into Hillman’s hand.
Hillman instinctively looked down at his hand.
Then his hand trembled, almost dropping the cards.
Purple cards… a pile… no, all of them are purple cards…
All! Of! Them!
Hillman’s pupils dilated in shock.
Even with Hillman’s status, he had never seen a deck composed entirely of epic cards!
Because the output of epic cards is very low, and in this world where everyone loves cards, people who obtain epic cards generally do not sell them. Even with money, it is difficult to buy epic cards.
This new student in front of him actually has a deck composed entirely of epic cards!
Thinking of his own proud deck, Hillman suddenly felt a little lost for a moment. Was the girl opposite him the new student, or was he the new student?
Seeing that Hillman was also stunned into silence, Helena’s mood immediately balanced out.
She just knew, who could see this deck and not lose their composure?
After the shock came immense joy, and Hillman couldn't help but burst into laughter.
“Good, good, good! Danpier, you old geezer! You dared to show off in front of me, just wait and see how I’ll slap your face!”
When he looked at Wen Xiangjie, Hillman immediately changed to a benevolent expression.
“Wen Xiangjie, having such an excellent student like you is our school’s blessing. As long as you help the school win this friendly match, whatever reward you want, the school will try its best to satisfy!”
“Headmaster, to be honest, I happen to have a request,” Wen Xiangjie didn’t stand on ceremony with Hillman and spoke directly.
“As you can see, with my deck… I feel that the knowledge the school can teach me is limited. In order to become an even more excellent Card Master and win the Card Tournament championship, bringing greater honor to the school, I request to be exempt from courses and directly participate in the graduation exam. Headmaster, do you think this is possible?”
No student had ever made such a request before. Hillman pondered for a moment and decided to grant Wen Xiangjie’s request.
After all, Wen Xiangjie was right; with the strength of her deck, continuing to attend classes at school would be a waste of time.
Moreover, Wen Xiangjie already has a deck of epic cards. The rewards the school can offer Wen Xiangjie are truly limited. They can’t just directly reward Wen Xiangjie with the legendary card from the graduation exam, can they?
There are rules set by the card god that restrict this; even if he wanted to, it would be impossible to do.
In comparison, Wen Xiangjie’s request was reasonable and acceptable to the school.
“Alright, on behalf of the school, I agree to your request for course exemption. After the competition, have Teacher Helena personally take you to complete the procedures.” Hillman patted Wen Xiangjie’s shoulder encouragingly, “Go for it, Wen Xiangjie. You don’t need to hold back against the students from the neighboring school. The more beautifully you win, the better!”
