Chapter 114
While Tenjou Hikari was thinking about a certain bald professor.
A "professor" also ended his own "suffering."
"Mamma mia..." Professor Chronos rubbed his head, swaying as he got off the Kaiba Corp plane and walked toward the empty classroom.
After an interrogation lasting more than a month, Chronos finally returned from the Kaiba Corp headquarters to his beloved Academy Island.
Unlike the students.
Chronos was a professor at Duel Academy and also the nominal person in charge of Duel Academy. Although he was on the same level as Akaba Leo, after all, someone like Akaba Leo appeared in the academy, so he, a colleague, naturally had to be interrogated as well.
Most teachers finished after one or two rounds of interrogation.
Arrest those who should be arrested, release those who should be released, prepare, and classes will continue next semester.
But Chronos was different.
No teacher in this school, or even the branch schools, was as special as him.
Because for a period of time, he served as the acting principal of the Duel Academy main campus!
And secondly, he was also one of the two people who had actually had direct contact with Akaba Leo!
In this situation, he naturally had to be interrogated.
And, more importantly, after the first and second rounds of questioning, Kaiba Corp discovered many things related to Chronos in the activities department of the Fusion Department!
Including itineraries, deck lists, management, positions, daily teaching, and disciples; it could be seen that the Fusion Army attached great importance to Chronos!
Honestly, when he first saw these things, Chronos was very shocked.
He even started to suspect whether there were female teachers inside the Fusion Army who had a crush on him.
Later, after many trials and investigations, Kaiba Corp finally discovered that Chronos was not Akaba Leo's partner; on the contrary, Chronos was actually someone who had been opposing Akaba Leo from the very beginning, having successively sent two disciples to oppose the Fusion Army, and even leading by example; he was a truly good teacher!
That day, when everyone discovered this fact and discovered Akaba Leo's "contempt" and "hatred" for Chronos, the entire Kaiba Corp investigation department gave Chronos heroic treatment.
The applause was long-lasting, making Chronos feel bewildered.
What, what, what?
What is all this?
Did I do it?
I stopped Akaba Leo from developing newcomers in the academy, I sent Tenjou Hikari to stop the Fusion Army from promoting, I secretly changed the "Fusion Department" to the "Combination Department"?
Am I that capable?
At that time, Chronos was dumbfounded.
Even Chronos, who had always been concerned about his face, didn't take credit for it this time, hurriedly saying that these things were not done by him at all.
Unexpectedly, at the time he least wanted to take credit, everyone thought he was being modest, and the applause and welcome became even more enthusiastic!
What could he do about this?
Why is the world so absurd?
Finally, with no other choice, Chronos washed up at Kaiba Corp, put on a new uniform, received the compensation given by Kaiba Corp, and in a state of physical and mental exhaustion, boarded the plane back to the academy.
Although more than a month had passed just like that, for him, it was still quite good.
At least his 26-year mortgage was paid off directly by Kaiba Corp.
Because all the students went to the Critical Point Dimension, there were no other students in the academy. He walked in the empty academy, but his heart became heavier and heavier.
More than a month had passed.
Although he was glad that he was not implicated and even inexplicably treated as a hero, these things were all unimportant to him now.
He just wanted to finish the GX tournament well and complete this project for the principal well.
Although he occasionally thought before that if Principal Samejima was gone and he became the principal directly, would it be great, but now that Principal Samejima had really resigned, he felt a bit uncomfortable instead.
Principal Samejima was a good man, and his connections were quite extensive. Just knowing that he could organize a world-class event like the GX tournament showed that he was not an incompetent person.
Besides this, Principal Samejima was actually quite good to them usually. Although Chronos had some complaints before because Judai Yuki was late for the entrance exam and Samejima specially approved Judai to take the exam, feeling that this was suspected of using the back door, he still respected Principal Samejima.
Now Samejima had resigned, but the resignation letter was only placed at Kaiba Corp, and the Kaiba brothers were not at Kaiba Corp, so this resignation letter could not be signed. Therefore, Chronos did not directly succeed as principal but became the "acting principal" again.
In other words, there was still a chance...
His heart was heavy. He didn't go directly to the principal's office to breathe the air of the principal's office, but rushed to the Kaiba Corp dimensional train first to confirm the situation.
He was very worried that someone would still be up to no good at a time like this.
Fortunately, the dimensional train and the dimensional gate station were guarded by people, so it looked very safe.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
He shook his head, walked toward the academy building, slowly arrived in front of the principal's office, and then slowly opened the door.
Just when he thought he could clean up the principal's office and relieve his mental state, he was surprised to find that there was actually someone in the principal's office!
That person was wearing a blue tailcoat uniform, which was the standard blue academy teacher uniform, with blond hair and blue eyes, and didn't look like a teacher from this school!
He had turned everything in the principal's office upside down, and all kinds of messy things were scattered on the floor. At this very moment, he was holding a delicate little box, seemingly preparing to open it to see.
"Who is it!" After the initial fear, infinite power surged in Chronos's heart for some reason, and he raised his voice to scold, "Put down what's in your hand!"
However, after the initial shock, that person immediately turned around without hesitation and crashed directly toward the window!
"Wait!"
Chronos shouted angrily and, without hesitation, chased after that person.
With a smack, that outside teacher smashed the floor-to-ceiling window to pieces, and the glass shards and wood cut his clothes and skin, but he didn't care at all and jumped down directly toward the outside.
Seeing this, Chronos didn't think that much and jumped out after him.
The two landed on the ground one after another, making a crashing sound, and that outside teacher ran madly toward the forest after landing.
"Don't run!!!" Chronos's anger flared up, and he didn't even use his verbal tic anymore, ignoring the wounds on his body, and ran madly.
After chasing for a while, he found that the outside teacher finally stopped, and he also slowly lowered his speed to prevent the other party from using a delaying tactic.
Not only that, he also scanned the surroundings with the corner of his eye, and was shocked to find that, unknowingly, they had already run to the Gate of Liberation of the Seven Stars!
Could it be!
He looked at the box in the outside teacher's hand, only to see that the outside teacher didn't hesitate, opening the box directly, revealing the Seven Stars Key inside.
"Liberate the Sacred Beasts!?"
"Haha, that's right, the main bodies of the Sacred Beasts, as well as the matching cards—" that outside teacher laughed loudly, "Let me take away the cards that the professor is missing!"
Sure enough, it was Akaba Leo's subordinate!
Chronos gritted his teeth.
It was that bastard again who caused the school and students to be in chaos!
"Chronos, you did indeed stop many of the professor's plans, but it's useless this time, hahaha!" The outside teacher stuffed all the keys in the box into the door, but was surprised to find—the door didn't open?
"Eh, this, what's going on?"
"Hehehehe, hahaha~ Mamma mia, you don't think that the principal and I wouldn't have thought of this point, do you?" Chronos laughed confidently.
Because.
This time.
He was genuinely wanting to oppose Akaba Leo, and this was also a plan he designed himself!
"I had already given one of the keys to my most trusted student, Tenjou Hikari! Now, he is in a distant different dimension, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to open it!" Chronos laughed out loud, oh ho ho!
At least at this very moment, he was the "hero" certified by Kaiba Corp!
"………………" That teacher gritted his teeth, his body trembling uncontrollably, the whole person like a volcano ready to erupt at any time.
"CHRONOS!!!!!" He threw down the box like a madman and lit up his Duel Disk.
"Ha... it's Principal... Chronos!" Chronos clicked the switch on his Duel Disk on his chest, and the huge blade Duel Disk unfolded automatically.
