Chapter 108: After Graduation?

Yamaguchi was struck head-on by the dragon controlled by Midrash, sending him flying backward to lie half-prostrate on the ground.

"Yamaguchi."

"Are you alright!" The representatives of the Red and Yellow Ronghebu Sect rushed to their side.

He glanced at the two of them, took a deep breath, then looked up at Tenjou Hikari: "Truly worthy of your name, Tenjou Hikari."

"I have lost. In that case... I will not participate in this new card release."

So straightforward!

Quite a few of the spectating students actually felt somewhat surprised.

Logically speaking, there was a "Duel Pact" before the duel, especially in a duel witnessed by members of Kaiba Corporation; after losing, everyone would certainly abide by the initial agreement.

Because the word "Duel" itself carried such a meaning.

However, if one of the two duelists was a member of the Ronghebu Sect, that was another matter; even after losing, those fellows would think of shirking responsibility or simply trying to reduce the punishment. Members of the Ronghebu Sect who admitted defeat as directly and straightforwardly as Yamaguchi, acknowledging failure and abiding by the agreement...

... were too rare.

Tenjou Hikari put away his deck, walked forward a few steps, and extended his hand, intending to pull him up, but Yamaguchi shook his head and, with the support of his companions, struggled to his feet: "Tenjou, do not get involved with fellows like us."

He let out a deep sigh: "Although... although I very much wish to witness, to see with my own eyes, the infinite possibilities of Fusion, I fear I do not have the qualification for that."

"Good luck, Tenjou Hikari."

Tenjou Hikari raised his eyebrows in surprise, then said: "Senior, I look forward to dueling you again."

Yamaguchi, however, shook his head.

"If possible, I think it's better not to duel you; it feels a bit embarrassing." He scratched his head.

On the other side, seeing that everyone seemed to be getting along much better, Marufuji Sho directly raised the cash in his hand and shouted at Auntie Tami: "Auntie Tami, give me five boxes of new cards!"

"Eh, I want some too!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I want some too; Auntie Tami, please give me five booster packs!"

"Hahaha, everyone gets some, everyone gets some; line up, line up!"

Tenjou Hikari glanced over, not in a hurry to buy card boxes, but instead looked again at the three members of the Ronghebu Sect; at this moment, Wan Wan Zhangmu also appropriately came over.

He had told Judai and the others that Kaiba Corporation would prioritize storing new card boxes for him; he planned to pick up five boxes later, so he wasn't in a hurry to buy cards here and wanted to casually check on Tenjou Hikari, who had just finished dueling, letting the others go look first.

Yamaguchi rubbed his hair, looking at Tenjou Hikari and Wan Wan Zhangmu; he hesitated for a long time before saying thoughtfully: "Tenjou, for someone like me who has no great ability, whose grades are not particularly top-tier, and who can be easily defeated in a duel by Kaiser and young people like you, what can I do after graduation?"

Tenjou Hikari and Wan Wan Zhangmu exchanged a glance, immediately realizing the subtext in his words!

Does baldness come with job assignment?

Tenjou Hikari pinched the bridge of his nose.

However, thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

In the original work, the invading ordinary dog-walking group used only miscellaneous cards from the Ancient Gear series; although there were elites like Dennis who used Ancient Gears, overall, the truly powerful "Fusion Army single soldiers" actually used cards other than Ancient Gear Golem.

At the same time, beyond Ancient Gear Golem, the Fusion Army also had a specialized "Gladiator Beast Special Unit," but in this world, apart from the spirit of One-Eyed Gladiator Beast, Tenjou Hikari had not seen many people from the Ronghebu Sect using Gladiator Beasts; before that, no one had used Gladiator Beasts at all.

Even Shen Lin Yao, serving as the department head, only used Ancient Gear cards.

As a result, today Yamaguchi actually brought out Gladiator Beasts, which meant that Akama Reo Wang had actually obtained the Gladiator Beast deck long ago; it was just that previously, it was not a deck intended for use by current students!

Graduates, huh...

So that's how it is.

Tenjou Hikari suddenly realized.

Yamaguchi was trying to remind him.

Under Akama Reo Wang, the strongest force was not the Ronghebu Sect of the "present," but the Ronghebu Sect of the "past."

He had successfully changed the purpose of the Ronghebu Sect and successfully established a brand new Ronghebu Sect by virtue of his own abilities; even Yamaguchi admired this quite a bit.

But what about beyond that?

The current Tenjou Hikari was merely "cutting off their spring water."

Yamagumi weighed his words for a moment, but ultimately said nothing, turning instead to walk toward the card shop.

"Scared?" Seeing Yamaguchi leave, Wan Wan Zhangmu crossed his arms and casually asked.

"Ha, how could I possibly be scared? I will only be more excited." Tenjou Hikari clenched his fist and nodded at him, "Haven't I already completed half of my goal?"

"Hahaha." Wan Wan Zhangmu merely laughed.

Cutting off their source, destroying their roots and stems; just thinking about it made Wan Wan Zhangmu excited as well.

He had specifically researched his master's experiences; in his youth, his master had also opposed all sorts of strange and bizarre forces; although there were some crises and risks during the process, in the end, it was always him and justice that emerged victorious!

He wanted to catch up to his master!

Twisted and abstract fellows like those in the Ronghebu Sect deserved to be crushed!

At the same time, seeing that matters here had concluded, the men in black approached; the group first greeted Wan Wan Zhangmu, saying "Young Master Wan Wan Zhangmu," and then one of them lifted a box and presented it for Tenjou Hikari to see.

"These are rare cards from the latest series, Student Tenjou; since you achieved victory in the duel, you may choose one card from among them."

Although they were called "rare cards," in reality, they were just ordinary "Tuner Monsters," and even Normal Monsters without effects.

But for this world, these were already cards so rare they could not be rarer!

Tierra floated out, crossed his arms, looked at the box, examined it, commented on it, and then pointed to one of the cards, signaling to Tenjou Hikari.

"Then I'll take this card." Tenjou Hikari did not stand on ceremony with these men in black, nor did he stand on politeness; he reached in and took out one card.

"Genex Controller?" Wan Wan Zhangmu, standing nearby, also saw the actions of the two of them; he glanced at that monster and asked thoughtfully, "Can that card also serve as Fusion Material?"

He was actually more curious about Midrash's Fusion Materials.

"Xiao Mi's Fusion Materials are Divine Yingyi and Dark-attribute monsters," Tenjou Hikari said casually.

"I see, just like the spirits of those few Heroes of Judai's." Wan Wan Zhangmu nodded to indicate his understanding.

On the other side, seeing that there was nothing else happening here, Judai waved his hand, calling out to Tenjou Hikari and the other two.

"A-Guang, Lightning, come quickly! Everyone has bought their cards; we're just waiting for you two to draw!"

Wan Wan Zhangmu turned his head and shouted: "Hahahaha, you few, prepare to witness the strong luck of Mr. Wan Wan Zhangmu Lightning when drawing cards!"

Immediately after, he changed his expression with extreme speed, turned back, and bowed to the several men in black: "In that case, I leave matters in your hands."

The men in black nodded in unison to indicate understanding, reassuring the two: "We have prepared the company's latest Dimensional Positioning System to monitor the usage of Professor Akama's teleportation gate. Please rest assured, you two."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Tenjou Hikari also joined in expressing gratitude.

The President really spared no expense in educating Wan Wan Zhangmu!

"Lightning!? A-Guang!"

Over there, their friends urged them again; Tenjou Hikari and the other did not linger, running toward the shop.

Tenjou Hikari also felt a faint stir of excitement.

Drawing new cards!

The scheduled time was set incorrectly; my apologies, my apologies; this chapter was scheduled for 6:30, I only just saw it.
