Chapter 122 A Matter of Dignity
"Today, Yugi Judai and his group entered a special dormitory that was off-limits, violating the school's rules and committing a serious offense."

Judai and Marufuji Sho stood in the middle of an empty room, surrounded by huge screens. Behind each screen was a senior member of the academy, including Principal Samejima and Professor Chronos.

"I'm sorry, I'll listen to whatever you say." Judai put his palms together and said sincerely, "Give me a chance."

In fact, Judai may not care that much about whether he will be expelled from school. He should be more concerned about being kicked out of the Duel Academy, because if he is expelled, he will not have so many interesting opponents to play cards with.
"Since the poor student has requested this, I will be merciful and give you this opportunity, Noone." Professor Chronos next to him said with a smile, "I will arrange a team punishment duel as soon as possible, is that ok?"

Judai: "Eh? Team punishment. Duel?"

"Exactly. Yujo Judai and Marufuji Sho, you will have a dormitory duel with the combinations of your dormitories. If you win, you will be acquitted."

As soon as Judai heard that there was a card game to play, he immediately became excited and instantly forgot about the crisis of being expelled from school.

"Dormitory duel? That sounds like fun!"

"Eh?" Maruto Sho whispered, "This doesn't feel good, brother?"

Professor Chronos: "Principal, you see I agree too."

Principal Samejima groaned, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Great." Professor Chronos was very happy. "Then you just wait for notification. I will arrange a dormitory duel opponent for Noone as soon as possible!"

"."

After the first class, You Xuan sat in the office of the Academic Affairs Department.

The long-legged female teacher politely invited him in and even made tea for him.

The morning sun shines obliquely into the Office of Academic Affairs, and golden spots dance on the wooden floor, like a warm carpet. The exquisite ceramic teacup is steaming, and the fragrance of tea is lingering, mixed with the fragrance drifting in from the window.

".That's probably all I have to ask."

The female teacher smiled politely.

"Please trouble You Xuan to go there in person."

“No, no.” You Xuan waved his hand. “Cooperating with the academy’s investigation is what I should do.”

"But you still have to be careful. The abandoned dormitories are dangerous areas. The school rules say that entering is strictly prohibited. Forget it this time, but next time, don't go to those dangerous areas casually."

"Don't worry, I won't do it again next time." You Xuan promised, patting his chest.

"That's good." The female teacher took a sip of tea and smiled. "I heard that You Xuan is the rising star of the academy and one of the brightest freshmen this year. If anything happens to you, the academy will have a hard time explaining it."

"Thank you for your concern, teacher."

"Oh, a final aside."

The female teacher sat up straight, leaned forward, and looked mysterious.

Then he lowered his voice and asked.

"They said you were friends with that Kaiba president? Is that true?"

"Well, I do know him." You Xuan thought for a moment.

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that they are friends. But if he says they are not close, he can't say it because he has received a lot of benefits from the president.
That's it, then.

I still have three years to go in college, so there’s nothing wrong with having a strong background.

The female teacher didn't say anything else, but she clearly had a "horrifying" expression on her face.

Regardless of the fact that this Duel Academy was largely established by the president, even if there was no such relationship, the status of the Kaiba president in this world is beyond doubt. No matter who the backer is, even a high-ranking politician may not be as effective as knowing the president.
"By the way, I heard that the punishment finally decided by the Academic Affairs Department is a dormitory duel?" You Xuan asked.

"Oh, that's it. Only the mastermind, Judai Yuki, and his roommate, Sho Maruto, need to accept it." The female teacher smiled, "You don't have to worry about it."

"I heard that it is possible to invite a legendary duelist to be your opponent?"

The female teacher was surprised: "How could you know this? Oh, Professor Chronos revealed it to you, right?"

It was Chronos's idea to invite the legendary duelist to participate in the battle. He hadn't even informed the principal yet. He had only discussed it with the Academic Affairs Department. And the matter was still in the preparation stage, so he didn't know if he could invite the person.

However, the long-legged female teacher immediately remembered that You Xuan was also a person that Chronos cared for specially, so it was possible that the professor let the secret slip during the conversation.

"If we win, won't we get a lot of credits?"

The female teacher was stunned: "Uh yeah, I guess."

Although it was a punishment duel, the opponent was a legendary duelist after all. If Judai and the others lost, they would be expelled, but if they could win, it would be a great honor for the school, so it would be unreasonable not to give them a reward.

You Xuan took a deep breath: "Teacher, I am ashamed!"

Female teacher: “?”

What are you ashamed of?

"I didn't actually go to the dormitory with Judai and the others. I trespassed into the restricted area on my own initiative and just happened to meet them." You Xuan looked guilty, "So I wasn't instigated by them. I'm the mastermind just like Yucheng Judai. On the contrary, the other people in his dormitory were just accomplices, so I should be the one to be punished!"

The female teacher opened her mouth and held it in for a long time before speaking.

"Well, haha, it's good to admit your mistakes. It's good to admit your mistakes. Since You Xuan is so sincere in admitting his mistakes, I will not punish him."

You Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"No, we can't do that! What will other students think of this in the future? Where will the dignity of our school rules be? Won't this set an example for others that 'breaking school rules is nothing'?"

Female teacher: “.”

She wanted to say that we were not classmates, so were our lines reversed?
Why would anyone want to be punished?
"Ahem, I'm glad you've realized this." She said, "But once the Academic Affairs Department makes a decision, it can't be changed. It also concerns the dignity of the Academic Affairs Department. So let's forget about it this time."

You Xuan looked regretful.

"Okay, I understand."

He immediately stood up, said goodbye and left.

Seeing that he stopped pestering her and was finally ready to leave, the long-legged female teacher finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Are you kidding? You want to participate in a punishment duel. If you lose, can we really expel you?
If Youxuan and Judai both lose in the doubles match, it would be embarrassing for the academy if one of them is expelled and the other is not.

Then what's the point of the punishment duel?

Fortunately, the boy didn't bother me anymore.
Just as she thought of this, she heard the voice of You Xuan, who had just left, coming from the corridor.

"Hello? Is this Keipi? It's me. This is what happened. The academy arranged a team duel as punishment for trespassing into the restricted area, but they didn't include me. No, they didn't give me a chance to atone for my sin.

But I think I feel really guilty, so I want to ask you to ask the board of directors to contact the college to give me a chance to share the guilt with my friends."

"puff--"

The long-legged female teacher squirted.

The tea she just drank spurted out far away. She hurriedly got up and chased after him: "Classmate, wait a minute, we can still discuss this."

You Xuan turned around in surprise and put down his phone: "Eh? Teacher, why are you out?"

The moment he put down his phone, the female teacher noticed that it seemed that he hadn't turned it on at all.
Female teacher: “.”

Been tricked.

Originally, You Xuan had no intention of calling Guiping for such a trivial matter.

"So, teacher, are you saying that I can accept the punishment?"

The female teacher waved her hand feebly: "Okay."

Never mind, it doesn’t matter what it turns out to be.

She doesn't care anymore.

Same day, principal's office.

Koalako Hayato is surrendering himself in front of Principal Samejima: "I was also in that abandoned dormitory, so please let me be in a group with Judai! Let me accept the punishment!"

"Me too!"

Asuka-san happened to come in at this moment.

"I also went to the abandoned dormitory last night, but I was not discovered." Asuka said seriously, "Please punish me as well."

Asuka currently has a good impression of Judai, but she can tell at a glance that Marufuji Sho beside him is a loser. Letting Judai team up with Marufuji Sho is simply dragging a burden, and even as strong as Judai, she can't help but feel a little worried.

So she wanted to replace Maruto Sho herself, which would increase Judai's chances of winning no matter what.

Principal Samejima smiled and said, "I understand your intentions. But the punishment has already been decided by the Academic Affairs Department. In this school, once the Academic Affairs Department makes a decision, it will never be changed at will."

Asuka and Koala looked at each other, both showing helpless expressions.

They had heard of the name of the Academic Affairs Department, and it was said that they were all a group of tough guys. Generally, they would only show up in person when something serious happened, and they were known for their swift and resolute style of work.

If the Academic Affairs Department decides so.
However, at this moment, the automatic door opened.

The female teacher from the Academic Affairs Department came to the office.

"Mr. Principal, the Academic Affairs Department has urgently held an internal meeting to request the withdrawal of the penalty decision regarding the closure of the dormitory." She said, "We are going to re-assign Fujiki Yugen and Yuki Judai to form a team for a team duel."

Principal Samejima: “?”

Asuka x Hayato: "??"

No, didn't they say that the decision of the Academic Affairs Department is absolute? Didn't they say that once it's final, it can't be changed?
Isn’t this a matter of the dignity of your Academic Affairs Department?
