Chapter 247: The First Beam of Light Approaching

Tenjou Hikari stayed at Fengguang Company for a few days, during which he also went to visit Dinosaur Ryuzaki.

Although Dinosaur Ryuzaki was hospitalized, his physical injuries were not actually too severe; his prolonged hospitalization earlier was mostly due to the double blow of his mental state and physical problems.

According to the doctor, as long as it was confirmed that there were no issues with his wrist, he would be able to be discharged very soon.

It was just that the doctor occasionally muttered about why the wrist felt like it had suffered secondary damage, making Dinosaur Ryuzaki extremely embarrassed.

Inside Fengguang Company, everyone was quite satisfied with the result of this duel; many people celebrated Tenjou Hikari having vented Dinosaur Ryuzaki's frustration by popping champagne, running around shirtless, and the like, so the company gave the factory and staff a two-day holiday.

The operations team, on the other hand, felt that although this duel was not as hot-blooded as the last one, if they used just a little bit of editing to splice in Tenjou Hikari's and Dinosaur Ryuzaki's duels with Insect Weevil, it would become a duel very worth watching for the audience.

For promotion purposes, this was very good.

More importantly, coincidentally, the test sale and advertisement for the "Simple Fusion" instant noodles were about to arrive, so this could serve as a warm-up to attract attention in advance.

They had even thought of the title.

Fierce Battle! Absolute Fusion Master vs. The Legendary Duelist 2! Battle Against the King of Insects!

So chuunibyou...

Hearing the operations team's words, Tenjou Hikari couldn't help but slap his forehead, while beside him, Tierra couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

After those people said "Fusion Immortal," this was the second term to make her laugh out loud.

It had to be said that this god had considerable tolerance for these people from the instant noodle company.

After settling these matters, Tenjou Hikari boarded the cruise ship again, rested for a day as if on vacation, and then returned to Duel Academy.

The atmosphere in the academy was much more lively than before.

Ever since Marufuji Ryo lost his duel, that silent atmosphere had probably only lasted a few weeks before the students quickly put such things out of their minds; after all, no matter how much of an idol one was, for some vibrant young students, their own affairs and the matters around them were far more important.

As for matters after graduation?

Who has the energy to think about so much of that!

In this atmosphere, Tenjou Hikari greeted passing classmates as he walked toward the principal's office.

"Bang—"

Just as he arrived outside the principal's office.

Tenjou Hikari saw Headmaster Napoleon slam the door open furiously, roaring in a rage.

"You will regret this, Cronos!"

"I am the principal, Headmaster Napoleon!"

"Acting principal! You are only the acting principal!"

"That still makes me the principal!"

Acting Principal Cronos successfully infuriated Headmaster Napoleon, who was already angry enough to lose his bearings, causing him to jump up; turning to stride away, he bumped into Tenjou Hikari and stumbled back two steps, then, noticing Tenjou Hikari, took two deep breaths, piled on a smile, and said to him, "Oh, it's student Tenjou, you've returned from your outing? Hmm, I also watched your duel with that Mr. Insect Weevil; as expected of our academy's greatest representative of fusion..."

"My apologies, Headmaster Napoleon," Tenjou Hikari said, thinking that the other man had nearly fallen, so he spoke up like this.

"It was I who was too rude." Headmaster Napoleon did not dwell on nearly falling earlier. "You are here to find your master, I suppose? Tsk... What incredible luck, Cronos!"

"It's Principal Cronos!"

Headmaster Napoleon cursed as he walked away.

Tenjou Hikari laughed awkwardly and bid him farewell, then coughed twice before walking into the principal's office.

The last time Tenjou Hikari came here, it was mainly because he had stayed in another dimension for several days, plus there was the great battle involving the Dark World and the Heroes, so he had to explain everything specially to Cronos.

And this time, Tenjou Hikari had taken a long leave, so naturally, he also had to come report the situation.

Fortunately, regarding the matters of Fengguang Company, Cronos had actually heard about them; after all, the contract between Tenjou Hikari and Fengguang Company was signed by him as Tenjou Hikari's "guardian," so he was very clear about Tenjou Hikari's responsibilities.

But after Tenjou Hikari returned, he still verbally educated Tenjou Hikari severely for quite a while.

After all, Tenjou Hikari had missed too many classes this semester.

Tenjou Hikari also knew this point, so he did not offer any excuses.

Afterwards, after finishing the discussion about academic matters, Tenjou Hikari curiously asked what he and Professor Napoleon had been arguing about earlier.

With this question, Tenjou Hikari finally learned the truth.

It turned out that Manjoume had already lost to Edo Phoenix after Tenjou Hikari went out to sea, and then, when Headmaster Napoleon wanted to cancel the Red Dormitory, Professor Cronos had stubbornly dragged it out for several days.

Just yesterday, Judai appeared from who knows where, declared that he would duel Edo again, and then pulled out some cards that no one in the market had ever seen before, successfully defeating Edo by a narrow margin.

Naturally, the record between Edo and Judai then became one win and one loss, a tie.

Professor Cronos used this as a reason to say that the Red Dormitory should not be cancelled; naturally, Headmaster Napoleon was dissatisfied, and after arguing back and forth, he was angered away again.

"I see." Tenjou Hikari expressed his understanding. "What kind of cards were they?"

"Hmm... Neo-Space?" Professor Cronos looked up at the sky, seeming somewhat unsure himself.

Because Judai had used many strange and quirky cards.

Tenjou Hikari nodded.

It seemed that in terms of the main process, nothing had gone wrong; although the cards were sent to another dimension, Judai still obtained the Neo-Space series just as he was originally meant to.

But logically speaking—shouldn't it be called "Neo-Dimension"?

Cards are truly profound.

But with this, Judai's deck was also almost "complete."

"Alright, hurry back and make up your lessons! For this exam, I hope you don't regress!" Professor Cronos said.

"Rest assured, Professor; I won't neglect my main duty as a student either," Tenjou Hikari said with a smile, patting his chest.

"Ha, that's also a fusion, right?"

Tenjou Hikari smiled and nodded, then walked out of the principal's office.

On the other side.

Headmaster Napoleon, fuming with suppressed anger, kicked open his office door, shut it casually, then took several large strides to his chair, leaped up fiercely, and sat cross-legged on the chair.

His build was relatively short and stout, so sitting on the chair, he looked like a tumbler doll.

"Damn you, Cronos!"

He boredly moved the mouse, checking student data.

He had used every trick available to him.

Who could have expected that after losing the duel and spacing out for so long, Judai would return and actually defeat Edo Phoenix with a brand new series?

This was completely beyond his expectations.

Clearly, he was the person assisting the acting principal in his work, yet during this period, Cronos completely ignored his suggestions!

It wasn't just because his plans had constantly failed during this time.

There was also that student—

He thought of Tenjou Hikari.

Damn it!

Why did that Cronos have such dog-like luck, able to gain the trust of students like Marufuji Ryo and Tenjou Hikari?

After Marufuji Ryo graduated, there was still Tenjou Hikari; not only was he a celebrity in the academy who had endorsed products early on, but he had already dueled the legendary duelist twice; with such a student, of course Cronos had the confidence to oppose him!

If things continued like this, how could his educational philosophy and his ideas ever be realized!?

Fuming with anger, he saw an email sent to him by Saiou Takuma, clicked to glance at it, then closed it angrily.

Destiny?

Edo and Judai were destined hero rivals?

What kind of nonsense was this...

He angrily closed the email, and then, the next moment, another email popped up.

"Hmm? What's this? What, what, what? The Society of Light is moving in? Hmm... hmm hmm hmm..."
