Chapter 568 Prelude (4K)

After winning the attack, Amagi Hikaru took a few steps forward and picked up the card of the torture machine.

The card still bears the appearance of a torture machine, and besides that, there is also visible black air. It is obvious that it has been enhanced by "darkness", which is why it is so confident and complacent.

Tiancheng Guang looked up and looked around. The cards of his fellow clansmen were pulled by the purple puppet strings and flew into Tiancheng Guang's hands. Tiancheng Guang took them in his hands and roughly estimated them.

The total amount seems to be no less than the "darkness" state of Tenjouin Fubuki when I first encountered her...

Tian Chengguang looked solemn.

In just over a year, darkness has given so much power to these tentative soldiers.

Not only that, after collecting all the cards, Hikaru Amagi actually found an "Iron Raider" among them. Obviously, this card is the real power provided by darkness. The power of this single card is more than all the other cards combined. It seems that this is a card that darkness provides to these elves to allow them to travel through dimensions.

What Amagi Hikaru got from darkness before was the "Telekinetic Executioner". That card was obviously made with the idea of ​​creating an artificial god, and the energy it contained was enormous.

And now, what Tian Chengguang has in his hands are just trivial little parts.

However, now that it is in the hands of Amagi Mitsuru, he must make good use of it.

Just like how Amagi Hikaru was able to use the power of darkness to improve the completion of the Divine Shadow I Midrash, when these things come into Amagi Hikaru's hands, he can naturally try some cards that he was unable to make before.

Anyway, it was a profit.

Amagi Guang put away the card, turned around and continued walking towards the academy. At this moment, he heard a rustling sound. After a while, a figure in a silver-white suit jumped out of the small woods next to him, then glanced sideways and caught a glimpse of Amagi Guang.

"minister?"

He was slightly surprised in the air.

"Ed?" Amagi Hikaru also spoke in surprise.

Ed fell to the ground, landed on one knee, then slowly stood up, a standard hero appearance.

He shook off the leaves on his clothes, casually lifted his backpack onto his back, and looked towards Amagi Hikaru.

Just as Amagi Hikaru was about to greet him, a flame suddenly ignited beside him, and a sturdy warrior said, "I understand, lord, this must be--"

"wait."

Seeing that Yan Jian was about to attack, Tian Chengguang quickly stopped him.

Yan Jian had a confused look on his face, but upon hearing Amagi Hikaru's order, he briefly apologized to Ed, then slowly turned into sparks and dissipated.

Tiera, who was standing by, became curious.

Until now, she still didn't know how Amagi Hikaru had been able to tell them apart in that instant. In her eyes, the "Ed Phoenix" just now was exactly the same as the "Ed Phoenix" in front of her.

"Hehe, Minister, it seems that you encountered it just now?" When Ed saw the actions of the Fire Swordsman next to Amagi Hikaru, his mind turned and he immediately thought of the possibility.

"It seems like you've encountered it, too? What exactly happened?"

Tian Chengguang asked him quickly.

Ed said, smiling as he walked forward.

He had just arrived at the Duel Academy Island on his beloved surf motorcycle and wanted to dive for a while, but he found that dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky and a transparent thin wall covered the Duel Academy Island. At that time, he quickly packed up his things and prepared to rush to the Duel Academy to see what exactly happened.

It was at that time that he met "Amagi Hikaru".

No matter from the appearance, behavior, or habits, no matter how you look at it, it's Amagi Hikari.

Originally, Ed had no doubts at all, because he had agreed with Amagi Mitsuru that he would be at school today, so it was not impossible for Amagi Mitsuru to come and wait for him in advance. To be honest, he was quite excited at that time.

But soon, Ed noticed something strange.

First, that Amagi Hikaru didn't take him to the Duel Academy, but took him to a corner. When he was asked if the Duel Academy was in danger, the reason he gave sounded like a lie.

Second, although that Amagi Hikaru's clothes, behavior, and habits were almost exactly the same as Amagi Hikaru's, there was one thing that was missing, and that was the card on Amagi Hikaru's chest.

There was no way Ed would ever forget that card.

And although the "Amagi Hikaru" had a card hanging on it, it was not that card at all - this was what the Sprinter told him.

It was at that moment that Ed prepared himself.

After all, although I can't confirm it, what if there is really someone who can imitate Amagi Mitsuru so closely?
Unexpectedly, it was just as he thought. When the "Amagi Light" brought him to a quiet corner, it suddenly jumped up and stabbed directly at Ed. Fortunately, Ed was prepared and relied on the protection of the sprinting man and the fearful man to avoid being hurt.

Then of course there was the duel.

After he dealt with his opponent, he felt that something that ordinary people could not understand might be happening in the Duel Academy. Just in case, he walked in the woods, acting alone.

"Smart, you are worthy of it." Amagi Mitsuru praised repeatedly.

Ed is calm, smart, and careful. In the original work, apart from DD and Aiko, there are really few people who can make him lose his mind for a short period of time. No matter how similar this imitation is, the details are not real. Even if Ed has never seen "that card", he will not necessarily be fooled.

In fact, it was the same with Amagi Hikaru before.

When Yan Jian saw Ed, he thought this was also fake, and instinctively wanted to help Tian Chengguang, but in fact, that was not the case at all.

Although Amagi Mitsuru judged the torture machine based on the details of the "name field", in fact, Amagi Mitsuru had already talked with the "torture machine" for a long time before and carefully observed many details.

He had been prepared to be backstabbed, so he observed very carefully. So even though he looked almost exactly like Ed, Amagi Hikaru still found some strange disharmony.

It was in this situation that Amagi Mitsuru asked the question about the name to see if there would be any strange reactions.

Moreover, this is only one aspect of Amagi Hikaru's judgment.

Before, when he summoned the flaming sword to attack the torture machine, he was using his own duel energy to provide "output". Even if Amagi Mitsuru made a wrong judgment, any elf around "Aid" could withstand Amagi Mitsuru's output at that time.

But Yan Jian just showed up without thinking, using all his strength. If he had taken action, True Ed might have been injured if he was not prepared.

So these are things that cannot be absolutely guaranteed, and Tiancheng Guang cannot let such a thing happen.

Fortunately, Ed had also encountered a similar situation, so he knew that Yan Jian was also protecting Amagi Hikaru, and therefore he was not angry because of Yan Jian's actions.

But what followed was a more serious and intense exchange.

Even he and Amagi Hikaru can imitate it, and there is nothing strange about their appearance and behavior. This incident is probably quite serious.

"How did you do that?" Ed frowned.

A bunch of elves, who may not have seen him and Amagi Hikaru before, how on earth could he act so similar in front of them? "I just thought about it for a while." Amagi Hikaru put away his things and led Ed towards the academy building, while discussing with Ed, "If we just copy our behavior, habits, and appearance, even if it is possible, it will be too troublesome."

Ed nodded.

“So, there may be a more convenient method.”

"More convenient?"

"Psychological effect—"

"Oh! I see."

Through simple human disguise and psychological suggestion, people who meet the person will instinctively feel that there is almost no difference between the person and the one in their impression. Unless there are particularly outrageous characteristics or features, it should be easy to disguise.

Moreover, this should also be the aspect that darkness is best at and most proficient in.

It is simple, convenient, and efficient. It is also a very convenient disguise for elves of varying levels.

It doesn't need to be sophisticated, just come.

Amagi Hikaru took out a mirror and simply looked at himself. He could see that both Amagi Hikaru and Ed looked normal in the mirror.

Amagi Mitsuru never thought that this "psychological observation mirror" would come in handy again.

And the uses seem to be increasing.

"Who on earth would do such a thing?" Ed still had many questions.

Amagi Hikaru thought about it, took out the information he had heard from ZONE before, and shared and explained it to Ed.

Things like the ultimate fate of human destruction, the ultimate darkness, and the "evil spirits born from the doomed end" were too vague and too outrageous, but fortunately, Ed had a strong ability to accept these messages, and after receiving them, he expressed his understanding.

On the way to the college building, the two met other people on the road. Tian Chengguang tested it with a mirror and found that it was indeed an elf. It can only be said that the value of this mind mirror is still increasing.

If nothing unexpected happens, Tiancheng Guang will plan to improve and increase production and produce some "delusion-breaking glasses".

Although Tianchengguang estimated that these elves would soon remove their disguises and resort to direct force, he still had to use it one day at a time.

Not knowing how many elves had infiltrated the academy island, Amagi Hikaru and Ed hurried to the academy building and immediately found the professor.

At this moment, Professor Chronos was also busy and overwhelmed.

He tried to contact the outside world, but the entire school island was blocked and he couldn't contact anyone outside.

As a last resort, he quickly notified all the teachers and professors to gather, but even at this point in time, the teachers and professors had not yet arrived, and it seemed that quite a few professors had even run into trouble!
When he saw Amagi Hikaru and Ed, he first breathed a sigh of relief - after all, Amagi Hikaru was fine, but then he let out a sharp roar and screamed in terror.

How come Ed Phoenix came to school!

From the perspective of the development of the academy, as the acting principal, he was naturally happy that Ed came to the school. After all, with such a star professional duelist coming to study at the academy, as long as their school was managed properly, it would receive very high praise, and they would not have to worry about the source of new students next semester.

But now, if something bad happens to Ed Phoenix in the college, they won’t be able to hide the news no matter how hard they try.

But Tiancheng Guang felt that this was a bit of unnecessary worry.

If even Ed can't hold on, then there will probably be only a few people left in the academy, and there's no need to worry - at least that's how it is in the original work, even Ed and Caesar have fallen, how many people can be left?

After this episode, Amagi Hikaru and Ed stayed in the teaching building temporarily, watching a large group of teachers chattering about the incident.

As teachers and professors of the Duel Academy, they have seen many strange incidents. With the information and details brought by Amagi Hikaru, they quickly summed up some methods to protect the students.

"Dormitory heads of Red College, Yellow College, and Girls' College," Professor Chronos called to the teachers, "Next, you will be responsible for leading the team. Move together in groups of three. Make sure all the children have arrived at their respective dormitories first."

Professor Chronos took a deep breath and said, "As teachers of our sacred Duel Academy, we must lead by example. Therefore, as the dormitory head of the Blue Academy, I will also go to look for students in this operation."

The teachers responded.

"Coach Napoleon, if something happens to me..." Turning back, Professor Chronos began to "take care of my affairs".

"What are you talking about, Acting Principal Chronos?" Coach Napoleon wiped the cold sweat with his handkerchief and said, "You are only the acting principal now, and the position of acting principal cannot be replaced by anyone else."

"Then I am also the principal—"

Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon were bickering as usual, but this time, it was obvious that Coach Napoleon did not have as much hostility towards the professor as before.

Amagi Hikaru was a little worried. He thought that the best option would be for all the teachers to act together, so that even if a crisis broke out, they could take care of each other, but...

The students of Duel Academy are all rather lively by nature. After a day's classes, some play tennis, some dive, some practice in the mountains, and some sleep in the high-rise buildings of the academy, which are particularly dangerous.

For this reason, the teachers had to search for them separately. Otherwise, if these people who were not familiar with the other students were attacked by disguised elves, the possibility of them being injured, seriously injured or even unconscious would be much higher than that of the active students.

However, both Amagi Hikaru and Chronos felt that Professor Chronos's worries were unnecessary.

It seemed that after the initial attack, the elves gradually retreated, or -

This first attempt was just an experimental attack by the elves. After they figured out the students' basic qualities and dueling abilities, the attack gradually faded away.

So, on the morning of the next day, almost all the students gathered in front of the school building.

Many students had bruises on their faces and bodies, and it seemed that they had been attacked.

The students in the Integration Department were chatting with each other, talking about what happened last night, and discussing it in a chattering manner.

Many people looked quite lonely.

Professor Cobra looked at the students and found Kagurazaka among them.

He looked quite sad now, with his head down, looking very remorseful. Perhaps something happened last night that hurt his friends or himself.

It was all in Bell's plan.

Professor Cobra couldn't help but sigh.

For a moment, he really wanted to come up with some other ideas to help his colleagues.

but--

When the reflection of his son appeared in his eyes, the last bit of hesitation completely disappeared, leaving only determination.

No matter what, he still wanted to see his son again.
