Chapter 238: Full New Fusion

After returning to reality, Tenjo Hikari contacted Professor Kuronos, the acting principal, and told him that for the time being, new students should not be sent to the Dimension of Motianlou, and recounted his experiences within Motianlou.

After listening, Professor Kuronos finally understood why Tenjo Hikari had stayed in the Motianlou Dimension for several days.

So he had been through all this.

"The Spirit World isn't peaceful either…" Kuronos sighed.

Although Tenjo Hikari helped the Heroes drive away the Dark World's Martial God and even directly obtained the card sealing the Dark World's Martial God and the Xiexin Doctrine, this did not mean the Heroes were now safe.

According to the Heroes' account, their next move would be to use Motianlou as a base and wage a prolonged war against the warriors of the Dark World.

In this process, they would likely send more and stronger elite Heroes, so the Motianlou Dimension would become increasingly dangerous; thus, they advised humans to stop sending young warriors there for internships.

"Ugh, mother of mercy… really…" Professor Kuronos, hearing Tenjo Hikari's report, felt nothing but a pounding headache. "I was even thinking of sending Judai to Motianlou to clear his head…"

"Judai? What happened?" Tenjo Hikari asked.

"After losing to Ai De, he's been utterly distracted," Kuronos rubbed his temples, recounting what had happened yesterday.

While Tenjo Hikari and Serena were on a grand adventure inside Motianlou, Ai De had already arrived at the academy and successfully challenged Judai to a duel.

Despite Judai's Elemental Heroes being powerful enough, he still lost to Ai De's Destiny Heroes.

Since then, Judai had become listless and withdrawn—no longer skipping class, no longer enthusiastic about duels, spending each day staring blankly at the sea.

Kuronos had planned to send him to Motianlou to cheer him up, since it was his favorite Elemental Heroes, but he never imagined a war among Spirits had already begun there.

Kuronos had simply assumed Judai was mentally shaken after losing to the Destiny Heroes.

But Tenjo Hikari listened to this description.

Got it—

He had thought Ai De was acting normally and that Yu Beier had already started stirring things up, so Lord Lord Zhai Wang shouldn't be a big threat—but apparently, this guy still intended to cause trouble?

Wasn't this exactly the method Lord Lord Zhai Wang used in the original story, manipulating Ai De to steal Judai's Destiny?

So he really did it!

Now, another villain had been added to the list: Lord Lord Zhai Wang.

But—

In other words, wouldn't Judai soon obtain "New Yuxia"?

In the original story, Kai Sa and Judai were both brutally beaten by Ai De—one lost his form, suffered endless losses in the professional dueling arena, and lost all public favor; the other became completely blind to cards, unable to even see Duel Monsters.

The former, tricked into an underground dueling arena and subjected to electric shocks, eventually snapped, fully realizing what he truly wanted, and abandoned his Blue-Eyes White Dragon; the latter, lost in confusion, was struck by cosmic forces, reached an unknown space, and gained a new power—the Elemental Hero Neo-Space Xia.

To be honest, the super-card combo of Neo-Space Xia, Elemental Heroes, and Neo-Space Xia was actually even more chaotic than Tenjo Hikari's current "Fusion Deck," because Tenjo Hikari could simply draw one and play one—he already had plenty of Deck Fusion cards, even Extra Fusion cards. But Judai's deck was so unlucky he couldn't even move a single card—yet he still managed to use it.

With Neo-Space Xia, Judai's god-draw ability skyrocketed. Unless Fusion Sailor fused and then summoned Neo-Space Xia as an upper-level monster, Tenjo Hikari thought everything else was pretty strong.

Tenjo Hikari didn't have many thoughts about duels between Hero Users.

"So that's how it is. I'll go see Judai later?" Tenjo Hikari thought for a moment, then said.

After all, this world wasn't exactly the same as the original story—for example, Yu Beier hadn't been sent into space but into another dimension; who knew if Neo-Space Xia could even find Judai now?

"Ah, wait, Tenjo-san."

As Tenjo Hikari turned to leave, he heard Professor Kuronos's voice and quickly turned back to face him.

Professor Kuronos pulled open a drawer, took out an elegant box, placed it on the desk, clasped his hands, and smiled: "Tenjo, take this card."

Huh?

Tenjo Hikari stepped forward, picked up the box, opened it, and inside lay a card perfectly preserved.

Ancient Mechanical Chaos Fusion?!

He quickly scanned the card's effect.

Yes—it was this card.

Dennis's "Ultimate Fusion" from the original story.

"This was given to me after we reached a new cooperation agreement with the Ancient Mechanical Factory," Kuronos smiled. "But you, more than I, should want this card."

"This—but Professor, this is your card!" Even though Tenjo Hikari desperately wanted it, hearing it was a unique card, he immediately shook his head and refused.

Ancient Mechanical Chaos Fusion: Send one 【Fusion】 from your hand to the graveyard, then select one additional 【Ancient Mechanical】 Fusion Monster. Exclude all monsters sent from the Extra Deck to the graveyard, then Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Deck, Extra Deck, or Graveyard, ignoring summoning conditions and negating its effects. Then activate the Fusion Spell Card used to Fusion Summon that monster.

As a Fusion card, it was of little use to Kuronos, since his Extra Deck had only two or three cards.

But for Tenjo Hikari, with this card, he could instantly switch from Gem-Knight to Giga-Giant, fusing it in an instant.

"Hehe, take it," Kuronos gently shook his head. "You asked me to collect Fusion Seal creatures, and I never found any for you. Soon, the principal will take students on cross-dimensional internships—you might end up going elsewhere, with no chance to visit the Ancient Mechanical Factory again. So, take this card for now."

After speaking, Professor Kuronos patted his chest proudly: "Hmph, I'm now a celebrity at the Ancient Mechanical Factory—I'll have plenty of chances to get more Ancient Mechanical cards. But you? You'll be traveling across many other dimensions to study Alchemy and Fusion, won't you?"

So don't worry—just keep the card safe."

"Professor…"

"Principal!" Kuronos corrected Tenjo Hikari's wording.

"Principal!" Tenjo Hikari bowed solemnly to Professor Kuronos. "Professor Kuronos, I will help you become the true principal!"

"Eh… that's not necessary…" Kuronos waved his hand vaguely, then burst into laughter.

For him, having outstanding students who respected him, satisfying his vanity and earning him face among students and teachers—everything was fine.

With Kai Sa before him and Tenjo Hikari after, he now had tremendous face among students and faculty!

"Teacher," Tenjo Hikari carefully tucked the card away, then remembered something else. "Since that's the case, why not let me go ahead as a scout to explore the dimension the principal has chosen?"

"After all, the Dark World and Motianlou incidents might reappear anywhere."

"Huh… Principal Jiao Dao said he wants to keep it mysterious to build anticipation among students…"

Anticipation, my foot!

Tenjo Hikari was done.

He admitted the principal had the students' future in mind.

But he had no idea this world was facing one "apocalyptic" crisis after another.

"But… you do have a point."

Fortunately, Kuronos was a flexible man.

"But you can't use the academy's Dimension Gate—that would be noticed," he added.

Ha.

Having a skill really does come in handy.

After studying Dimension Gates for so long, the most useful moment had finally arrived!
