Chapter 15

"Winner, Tenjou Hikari!"

"Hehehe, it seems our academy won again this year!"

"Damn it, you just wait, I will definitely take revenge next year!"

Tenjou Hikari was still a bit confused. He stood on the dueling field, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

It... it's over?

By the time he came back to his senses, the two academy principals, who were jealous over Aunt Tome, had finished arguing, and the final reward of the "Duel Academy Exchange Tournament"—Aunt Tome's kiss—had already been planted on Chancellor Samejima's face.

At this moment, Tenjou Hikari finally remembered what had just happened.

The opponent was someone he didn't know, with no impression at all, so at the beginning, Tenjou Hikari was very nervous.

After all, it wouldn't be strange for an unknown duelist to use any kind of deck. If they used some kind of anti-spell Aromage or a spell/trap card that prohibited fusion, he would actually find it hard to guarantee a win.

However, the opponent summoned an Armed Dragon LV3 with 1200 attack points and ended the turn.

There wasn't even a set card!

Tenjou Hikari patted his face to wake himself up.

Although his deck contained a large amount of trans-era fusion, to be honest, because the low-level monsters and extra deck monsters all had to be found and gathered by himself, he didn't actually feel like high-tech fighting a barbarian. When dueling famous characters, he had always been calculating and planning carefully.

Today was the first time he had crushed his opponent with Future Fusion, Super Future Fusion, and the like without even thinking.

Even the watching students couldn't help but complain.

"What's going on?"

"Really, I wanted to see a passionate duel, like the ones from a few days ago!"

Many students in the audience who came to watch the duel felt some regret. Judai and other acquaintances and friends of Tenjou Hikari, however, breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated Tenjou.

However...

"Hahaha, too weak, is this the branch academy?!"

"I said it before, the branch academy is no good!"

Tenjou Hikari noticed some upperclassmen from the Fusion Department mocking the branch academy.

He frowned.

The problem in the Fusion Department is truly serious!

Originally, he thought his opponent would be "Manjoume Jun." In the anime plot, after Manjoume Jun dueled Judai and Misawa Daichi, because his hands weren't very clean, he was ordered to drop out and could only go to the North branch alone, then become the "King" there, and as the representative of the North branch, kill his way back to Duel Academy...

Although Manjoume Jun's performance as the second male lead in the anime was always average, and he was successively overshadowed by Marufuji Ryo, Edo Phoenix, and Johan, in terms of positioning, he was indeed Judai's opponent. And at this time, he was also a duelist of the same level as Judai, so Tenjou Hikari thought he could get quite a bit of energy from dueling him.

Never expected—the Manjoume of this world didn't go to the North branch at all!

He pinched the bridge of his nose.

Until yesterday, he thought his opponent was Manjoume. He never expected that because Kaiba Seto was always pursuing "other dimensions," the Manjoume Group had the opportunity to get involved, investing in various attempts by Kaiba Corporation, and forcibly stuffed Manjoume into Kaiba Corporation, allowing Manjoume to actually achieve what only the manga version of him did—becoming Kaiba's disciple!

Of course, the anime version of him also paid tribute to Kaiba in many places, it's just that there wasn't this relationship.

According to Marufuji Sho, because he suffered a serious blow to his self-esteem after losing to Judai, Manjoume returned to Kaiba Corporation to train seriously, determined to return to the academy in the mid-term to face Judai again.

Looking at it... the time seems to be about right.

Then Tenjou Hikari could only wish him good luck... In his blurry memory, Manjoume seemed to have never won against Judai.

"Hahaha, Student Tenjou, well done!" Samejima was so happy he couldn't close his mouth, praising Tenjou Hikari non-stop, and even saying, "Professor Chronos taught you so well!"

"Eh, um, is, is that so, right..." Chronos, standing to the side, was sweating profusely.

"Ah, right, Student Tenjou Hikari, this is the coordinate of the stable dimension explored by the North Academy." The Chancellor happily took out a card and handed it to Tenjou Hikari, telling him to keep it safe.

Tenjou Hikari took the card. There was only a pattern on it, a blurry three-dimensional cube. Tenjou Hikari could only sigh that it was indeed the world of Yu-Gi-Oh, where things like spatial coordinates could be marked with cards.

"Afterwards, let the Yellow Academy..."

"Mr. Chancellor!" Just as the Chancellor was happily unable to close his mouth, a student standing straight, wearing a purple uniform, who looked more like a soldier than a student, suddenly spoke up.

"Eh? Who are you?" Chancellor Samejima wasn't angry that a student interrupted him, and looked at the student in confusion.

"Mr. Chancellor. I am Kamibayashi Kaname from the third year of the Fusion Department!" he said to the Chancellor.

"Fusion Department..." Chancellor Samejima frowned slightly.

Speaking of which, since it was a student from the Fusion Department who participated as a representative, why didn't Professor Akaba come to the scene to watch?

To be honest, he didn't actually know much about Akaba Leo. He only knew that Akaba Leo was a professor personally hired by the Board of Directors, and even he, the Chancellor, couldn't really command him. In previous years, except for grade exams, he never saw Akaba Leo. This time, Akaba Leo actually recommended a student to be a representative, and he thought Akaba Leo was finally ready to socialize with them, the teachers and professors. He didn't expect him to still be so reclusive.

"Mr. Chancellor. The professor said that as a member of our Fusion Department, being able to obtain the qualification of a representative and being able to defeat the North Academy as the representative of the academy is the glory of Student Tenjou, and also the glory of our Fusion Department!" Kamibayashi Kaname continued to say expressionlessly. "As a student who has made such a contribution, not only should we give credit rewards, but our Fusion Department should also make a gesture, so that all students can enthusiastically study and duel!"

"Professor Akaba actually thinks this way!" The Chancellor's face showed surprise, and afterwards, he couldn't help but feel a bit gratified.

Tenjou Hikari, standing to the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

No wonder you didn't react when Professor Chronos was causing trouble in the early stages of the original work; the Chancellor is truly kind...

He understood in his heart—this is aimed at him!

"Our Fusion Department also has a dimensional gate. There is no need to waste the energy allocated to the Yellow Academy every month. We can completely use our Fusion Department's dimensional gate to send Student Tenjou. In this way, in the future, Student Tenjou can also take the Yellow Academy's dimensional gate to explore other dimensions!"

"Very thoughtful, Professor Akaba..." Chancellor Samejima nodded repeatedly, then looked at Tenjou Hikari. "Then... what do you think, Student Tenjou?"

"Of course!" Tenjou Hikari didn't hesitate.

He had been unable to figure out what that bald egg was trying to do, and now was the perfect opportunity!

"Hmm... that is an unknown other dimension after all. Although the North Academy guaranteed that there would be no safety issues in that dimension, we still can't just let our guard down..." Chancellor Samejima didn't make the final decision directly, but continued, "Then let's follow tradition: a group of two, one responsible for exploration, one responsible for safety, so that in case of necessity, they can directly use the equipment to leave the other dimension."

The Fusion Department student hesitated, but still nodded.

"Good, then, Student Tenjou, what do you think? Do you have any friends to recommend?" After Chancellor Samejima finished speaking, among the several students who were eavesdropping, many stood up at once.

Excluding some Fusion Department students attracted by Tenjou Hikari's dueling, Judai and Soku Ocean raised their hands without hesitation, while calling out to Tenjou Hikari, letting him look over.

"Uh... if it's to ensure safety... I want to ask, can Professor Chronos come?"

"Mamma mia, me!?" The professor screamed, pointing at himself. Afterwards, noticing the Chancellor's suspicious gaze, he hurriedly and decisively put on a reliable expression, his face stern, looking like a master, and nodded. "Res, rest assured, Chancellor! I will absolutely guarantee Student Tenjou's safety!"
