In the morning, when Shen Sui woke up from his sleep, Freymia beside him was still deep in her dreams.

A ridiculous night.

But you couldn't blame Shen Sui for that.

If you had to blame someone, blame Freymia for constantly teasing Shen Sui last night while he was trying to work.

He glanced at the Dueling Device.

Alice was still in Elm City waiting for the "Imperial Envoy" of the Master of Thunder Church, and in the meantime, she was diligently practicing the spells she acquired from the Treasure Box.

Her talent in spells wasn't as outrageous as magic power training.

But for some reason, maybe because of her nature, Alice always had that magical knack.

Every spell she practiced showed astonishing destructive power.

Defensive spells all turned into magic that doubled the counter-damage on contact.

Healing spells were even more remarkable.

They did have healing effects, but the opponent had to endure Alice's flaming scorching, and the fire damage was usually far greater than the healing amount. Most critically, healing wasn't considered negative magic; Alice's fire damage was just an added effect of the healing. This meant that the mainstream defensive magic on the Dawn Continent couldn't counter the damage from Alice's Healing Technique.

******

Card Name: [Alice's Healing Technique]

Type: Spell Card

Star Rating: 7-star

Effect: ① Once per turn, during the opponent's main phase, the opponent loses 7 Soul Points, and their Life Value increases by 500 points;

② Once per turn, during your main phase, the opponent loses 2000 Life Value and their Life Value increases by 1000 points.

******

Looking at the modified effects, Shen Sui was quite satisfied, especially with effect ①, which, in combination with [Toll] and [Give Me Money], was simply a triple con trick.

Never mind the 7 Soul Points lost, you gained 500 Life Value, isn't it thrilling?!

Compared to the mutations in defensive and healing spells, Alice's talent in offensive spells wasn't as pronounced.

Every single-target attack spell in Alice's hands turned into an AOE.

In short, there wasn't a single spell that realized in the way Shen Sui expected when in Alice's hands, emphasizing a sense of peculiarity.

Hence, Shen Sui decided out of sight, out of mind, and opted not to look at Alice's practice on the Dueling Device but instead focused on the Life Card Slot.

This time the Life Cards Alice brought to Shen Sui, apart from the skills from the Treasure Box, weren't many, but their quality was unusually high.

It seemed that as Alice's strength increased, the number of cards she acquired decreased, but their quality began to soar rapidly.

Take the last card [Redefined], for instance, it had all the qualities of a Forbidden Card.

******

Card Name: [Redefined]

Type: Spell Card

Star Rating: 8-star

Effect: Can be activated when both players' card effects are activated. If the activated effect involves card type or area type, you can modify one of them to another field of the same type.

******

Once this card is activated, it can directly interrupt the opponent's chain of moves.

If you intended to search for Follower Cards from the deck, I activate [Redefined] and change the deck to the graveyard or the Follower Card to an Event Card. Wouldn't that leave you stunned?

Just with this card alone, Shen Sui felt he could forgive Alice no matter how much she messed around in this plot.

Not to mention she also brought other weird cards for Shen Sui.

[Rationalization], a 6-star Spell Card. You can declare the effect of a card existing in either player's graveyard or deck. If the opponent cannot banish a Life Card with the same effect, you can execute this effect. If it's the opponent's Life Card effect being executed, the same effect cannot be activated until the duel ends.

This card can be used as a search card to replicate your deck's search Life Card effects to aid in your plays. The 6-star cost isn't very high, and it can also serve as a restriction card, forcing the opponent to banish key Life Cards from their deck.

All in all, Alice's sudden outbursts were very rewarding at times.

Many fake cards in Shen Sui's possession resulted from this little cutie's whimsical behavior.

While Shen Sui was distressed, Freymia's voice came from his side.

Freymia, yawning, opened her beautiful eyes, looked at Shen Sui, and asked curiously, "You seem to be in a dilemma."

"Of course I'm in a dilemma." Shen Sui sighed and said, "There are more and more interesting cards, and my deck's 40-card limit can't hold them all."

Some card effects are very interesting and can bring the opponent a diverse dueling experience, but due to the deck size limit, Shen Sui couldn't add them all to his deck. Many could only lie in the card library, waiting for Shen Sui to find them suitable as counter cards for certain opponents before adding them to his deck.

If only the competition rules could be like the big brawl rules, increasing the deck limit to 80 cards.

And if the Life Value limit could also rise to 10,000 like the big brawl rules, that would be even better.

Unfortunately, the big brawl rules currently exist only in casual and All-Star matches and are not found in official competitions.

"You aren't thinking of playing those Underworld decks again, are you?" Freymia said annoyed.

Shen Sui always enjoyed using underworld decks to duel against the girls in-game.

Seeing Shen Sui's expression, Freymia instantly recalled those not-so-pleasant memories.

"How could I?" Shen Sui righteously claimed, "My victories are always aboveboard."

"Tch." Freymia made a disbelieving sound.

Shen Sui immediately pounced.

After a bout of activity, Shen Sui reopened the Life Card Slot.

If nothing unexpected happens next, he might have to represent Tianyi Academy in the Duel Academy National Tournament.

Although it's a competition between academies, the prestige of this competition is quite high.

Even without Eighth and Ninth Rank powerhouses, there are still plenty of skilled Seventh Rank duelists.

Shen Sui reviewed the newly published promotion rules.

Calculating his tournament schedule after becoming a professional Life Card Master, he figured he'd need to win three B-level championships to qualify for the Promotion Tournament.

If he maintained a winning streak before then, he could trigger the rank-up rule, apply for a Promotion Tournament, and directly ascend two levels to attack the Seventh Rank.

Once at the Seventh Rank, Shen Sui could consider whether to apply for graduation.

Duel Academy is distinct from other universities; the graduation criterion is your rank.

Generally, you graduate upon becoming a professional Life Card Master, but you must achieve a certain rank for early graduation.

If Shen Sui wants to graduate early after finishing all cultural courses in one academic year, he must reach the Seventh Rank.

Graduation doesn't make much difference in benefits, but graduates can choose to join clubs.

Some high-point Life Card battles must be participated in under the club's name.

However, that's for later.

Shen Sui looked at the scan Wang Ming sent on his phone, smiling.

The Forbidden Card, after all, has arrived.
