The two of them walked out onto the balcony. A comfortable spring breeze greeted them, making them feel perfectly at ease.
"Your identity was certainly hidden deep. When I asked you before, you still claimed you weren't the legendary duelist You Feng?" Alexis turned her gaze toward him, staring intently as she spoke.
"It truly wasn't the right time to reveal it back then." You Feng shook his head.
"Is it the right time now, then?" Alexis asked.
"Here is a notebook. It records every little detail of our time together these past few days," You Feng said, handing over a book he had prepared in advance. "A major upheaval is coming in the future, and I don't know if you will lose your memories because of it. I'm giving this to you now so that our time together isn't for nothing."
You Feng only gave such notebooks to his own women. As for Téa, he hadn't finished writing hers yet, so he hadn't had the chance to give it to her.
"Every little detail..." Alexis held the notebook, her heart fluttering for reasons she couldn't quite name.
"Wait, you said something is going to happen? What is it? And how do you know about future events?" Alexis was confused by the situation.
"I can't tell you too much for now. By the way, didn't you say you had something to tell me?" You Feng steered the conversation away.
"My brother wants to see you. He wants to thank you in person, and besides... you're actually his idol," Alexis said softly.
Atticus Rhodes?
"Alright, lead the way. I happen to want to see him as well." You Feng knew that Atticus was also one of the Shadow Riders. If he didn't know what was good for him, You Feng wouldn't mind defeating him as well.
Currently, within Wind's Name, there were already three members of the Shadow Riders organization, along with Lumis and Umbra.
The two arrived at the infirmary in the center of Duel Academy. Atticus was currently reading a book. They truly were siblings; the brother was handsome, and the sister was peerlessly beautiful.
"Brother, You Feng is here." Alexis pushed open the door and spoke softly.
"You Feng... is it really you, the legendary duelist?" Atticus Rhodes was a well known dork. Upon seeing You Feng, he excitedly tried to jump out of bed, but because his leg injury hadn't healed, he fell flat on his face.
"Ow... that hurts..." Atticus clutched his foot and cried out in pain.
Alexis couldn't bear to watch any longer. Her brother hadn't changed a bit even after all this time, but she still went over to help him up.
"Alexis, I have something I'd like to discuss with your brother privately. Would you mind stepping out for a moment?" You Feng knew Alexis was still unaware that her brother was one of the Shadow Riders, so he made the request.
"Uh... I'll go prepare some snacks for you both." Alexis blinked. Though curious, she didn't intrude and walked straight out.
"You're one of the Shadow Riders, aren't you?" You Feng sat down, picked up a small knife, and began peeling an apple as he spoke calmly.
Atticus's face stiffened instantly. He followed it with an awkward laugh. "What are you talking about? How could I be a Shadow Rider?"
"Don't bother questioning my deduction. I know all the members of your Shadow Riders. I could list every single name without missing one..." You Feng tossed the peeled apple to Atticus.
"But don't worry, I haven't told your sister yet. Now, I'm giving you two choices: either submit to me, or continue being a Shadow Rider and be defeated by me." You Feng presented the ultimatum.
"It seems you really do know everything. As expected of the legendary duelist..." Atticus Rhodes sighed.
"Between those two choices, there is no real choice at all. You are the idol in my heart. I, Atticus Rhodes, am willing to submit to you!" Atticus was quite open about it; his heart truly held great admiration for You Feng.
"Very good. Do you know where the remaining Shadow Riders are now?" You Feng planned to strike proactively. Otherwise, it would be difficult to complete the instance dungeon mission in such a short time.
"The Shadow Riders are currently in these locations." Atticus wrote their positions on a slip of paper and handed it to You Feng.
With these notes, You Feng could find them with ease.
Thud!
Suddenly, the room door was flung open. Alexis said anxiously, "Someone has come to the academy to seize Chancellor Sheppard's Sacred Beasts!"
"The Sacred Beasts?!" You Feng's expression darkened instantly upon hearing this.
The Sacred Beasts were currently under the protection of Chancellor Sheppard. As for who had come for them, it could only be that person.
