Chapter 16

The Chancellor personally took Tenjou Hikari and Professor Chronos, followed the Fusion Department students, and arrived at the top floor of the Fusion Department. Upon seeing Akaba Leo, he greeted him kindly.

Facing the appearance of his direct superior, Akaba Leo remained expressionless, but his heart was not as calm as his face.

Chronos?

This old thing...

Akaba Leo was expressionless, but his heart was turbulent.

As someone with his own "Grand Plan," after accepting the invitation from the Duel Academy Board Chairman, he became a professor at this academy and proceeded with his plan as he had imagined.

In his view, this was a very simple and very easy thing.

After all, the students in Duel Academy were pure and easy to deceive, the professors and teachers all seemed to have their own dueling understanding and philosophy to impart to the students, and the Chancellor, Samejima, was even more famously kind and gullible, easily influenced by the words of teachers.

In such a place, completing his Grand Plan was simply easy.

But—

Never expected this!

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the old man who looked nervous, wiping cold sweat from time to time, and looked ridiculous and stupid.

Chronos de Medici...

Stingy, picky, petty, vain, cowardly, face-saving—Akaba Leo had never taken such a guy to heart before.

What legendary duelist, is this all the level he has?

I heard that at the freshman entrance exam, he lost to a Red Academy freshman with his own deck. Is such a person worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as him?

But I didn't expect that all this was a disguise on the surface!

Not only did he arrange for his "disciple" to cause trouble in the Fusion Department, but upon realizing that I was going to take action against his disciple, he came here directly and decisively to face me head-on, humph...

A legendary duelist, indeed true.

However...

It's not that simple!

He pondered for a moment in his heart and had a new idea.

Originally, according to his idea, he would directly throw Tenjou Hikari into that chaotic dimension, lock him up for two or three days, and then send someone to "rescue" him. In that way, Tenjou Hikari would have to be in a coma for half a year, and by then, his influence in the Fusion Department would basically be gone.

But Chronos actually called the Chancellor, and he came personally—

I'm afraid he wants to take this opportunity to personally investigate the secrets in the Fusion Department?

How could I let you succeed!

He slowly turned his head to look at Tenjou Hikari.

Tenjou Hikari, identity unknown, parents unknown, used a messy fusion deck during the entrance exam, grades could only be considered mid-range, but now he has transformed into the academy's first-year representative... It is impossible that no one is teaching him behind the scenes.

He looked Tenjou Hikari up and down, while saying insincerely: "Student Tenjou, congratulations on winning this exchange tournament. The Fusion Department is proud of you."

Height is roughly 1.75 meters, not very tall, but among the first years, it is already relatively high; handsome appearance, completely different from Chronos in terms of facial features. Perhaps this is also Chronos's strategy, to find a handsome, cool disciple so that others won't immediately associate them together; in terms of clothing and dressing, it seems he hasn't put much thought into it, dressed ordinarily, only the ornament hanging on his neck is slightly eye-catching.

Seems to be an opaque card brick? The thickness is about half a centimeter, and there seems to be a card inside.

He couldn't see what card was inside.

In short, this is a boy who looks plain at first glance, but the more you look at him, the more strange he feels.

I almost fell for your trick!

With an idea in his heart, he looked at the Fusion Department teacher next to him. The teacher nodded and said to Tenjou Hikari and Chronos: "Student Tenjou, Professor Chronos, please come this way, we will start the transmission immediately."

"Go, good..." Chronos was a bit nervous. He was cowardly and afraid of trouble, so although he had the second-highest authority in the academy after the Chancellor, he had actually never really used the dimensional gate. Now that he was really going to be transmitted, he felt his legs were still trembling, and he was walking awkwardly.

And this made Akaba Leo even more shocked—what deep city government! In front of so many students, in order to disguise himself, he could actually do such a thing!

Tenjou Hikari was much calmer.

He had actually prepared for the worst-case scenario.

After all, if that old guy Akaba Leo didn't want his face, he really wouldn't want it. If he threw him into another dimension without a word, he might not be able to return to this world for many years.

Therefore, he asked the Chancellor if he could call the professor—he heard from the Chancellor that professor-level teachers had a "Hearthstone" in their hands that could immediately transmit back to this dimension, so that at least no matter what conspiracy Akaba Leo had, they could come back.

And now that he was here, he found that it was actually nothing. Although Akaba Leo was against him, he didn't seem to want to take action in front of the Chancellor, looking like he was doing things officially.

He even praised him.

Those who didn't know might think he was just a good teacher who was not good at words.

The Fusion Department's dimensional gate was much newer than the Red Academy's dimensional gate. Or rather, it was a machine from two completely different generations.

Akaba Leo was a genius scientist with extraordinary scientific research capabilities. He had also improved Kaiba Corporation's dimensional gate, so he received a special gift from Kaiba Corporation. This machine was naturally much more powerful than the old model of the Red Academy.

Not only could it accurately transmit to a designated space, but it also had stronger protective capabilities, allowing the transmission gate to be maintained for a longer time and more stably. The energy generated by dueling was also less likely to dissipate, so it was more worry-free when negotiating with spirits from other dimensions.

The responsible teacher took the card given by the North Academy from Tenjou Hikari's hand, and then inserted it into the machine's console. The dimensional gate began to rotate rapidly, and a scene gradually emerged in the purple vortex.

The machine could only roughly see a pitch-black phantom, which should be the general image of the surviving spirit in that dimension, but this was already far beyond the old machine of the Red Academy.

From the appearance, it was a monster wearing a wizard hat, holding a staff, possessing a wide robe, and surrounded by flames. Perhaps it was a Spellcaster-type monster—

"Hmm, exactly the same as what the North Academy said." The Chancellor looked at the shadow and nodded.

"Then, the two of you, please—" The responsible teacher stretched out his palm. Tenjou Hikari took a deep breath and walked forward. Professor Chronos, seeing this, hurriedly gathered his courage, approached the transmission gate, and faced it directly. Afterwards, the two of them slowly became transparent under the purple light, gradually leaving this dimension and heading to another dimension.

Akaba Leo's mouth curled up slightly.

You fell for it, Chronos!

You definitely didn't expect that I put a "card" into the dimensional gate in advance, right!

Even if I can't change the transmission coordinates according to the original plan, as long as I throw the "darkness" obtained from that dimension into this dimension, I can still hinder Tenjou Hikari!
