Chapter 3

"Tiancheng, you want to join the Fusion Department?"

"Yes."

"Uh... okay, then leave your name."

"The Fusion Department will arrange for students who also signed up to duel you later."

In the Duel Hall of the school, a girl wearing a blue school uniform asked Tiancheng Guang two questions, and after getting an affirmative answer, she wrote down Tiancheng Guang's name.

In the Duel Academy, different schools are distinguished by the color of the school uniform. The one with the lowest "status" is Slifer Red, wearing a red school uniform, which is the "poor student" of the school; the middle level is Ra Yellow, which is considered an upper-middle student; finally, it is Obelisk Blue, which is also the student with the highest status in the academy, the level of "honor student."

The student in charge of recording in front of him was wearing a blue uniform, so naturally she was an "honor student," while Tiancheng Guang was wearing a yellow school uniform, so he was a middle-level student.

Honestly, Tiancheng Guang was surprised—he never expected that the predecessor's deck and level could still be an "average student."

The female student in charge of recording looked at Tiancheng Guang with a strange look, as if she were looking at a pervert or a lunatic.

This was normal. The Duel Academy had various interest clubs, and every student could choose according to their own preferences.

The "Fusion Department" used to be an activity department that many students would choose. However, since the possibility of other dimensions was discovered, some extreme fanatic factions developed disgust and fear for "complex other summoning methods," so they formed the "Fusion Fanatic Supremacy" faction led by Leo Akaba.

The current Fusion Department is already the base camp of the "Fusion" army. Seeing a freshman apply to join such an activity department, in the eyes of other ordinary students, it is indeed a bit crazy.

Tiancheng Guang scanned the surroundings of the venue. There were only a few scattered Yellow Academy students, as well as a few Red Academy students. There was even a jellyfish-headed one inside...

—It was Jaden Yuki!

I didn't expect to see the protagonist of the original work so early, which is quite happy.

"Hey!! Come on!!" Jaden saw a student go on stage and shouted enthusiastically.

Although Jaden Yuki is a mindless duel fanatic who plays cards almost whenever he can, this match happened to be the type he wouldn't participate in—although he likes Fusion very much, if you want him to listen to "Fusion is absolutely supreme and everything else is trash," then forget it.

But taking the opportunity to watch a duel, with his personality, he would definitely be there.

It's even possible he had been watching for a whole day.

"Hey! Kid, stop looking around!" When Tiancheng Guang was distracted, his opponent was already impatient, "Hurry up and surrender, I can't wait to wear a purple school uniform!"

On the side, in the spectator area, several Blue Academy students were also shouting: "Hey, Yulong, hurry up and let that kid from the Yellow Academy know that Ancient Gear is a deck that only we Obelisk Blue are worthy of using!"

"Haha, no need for you to say!"

Tiancheng Guang raised his eyebrows.

Indeed, it seems that the vast majority of Fusion Department students are Blue Academy students, and Yellow and Red are very rare.

It seems that even among Fusion fanatic students, there is color discrimination.

"Duel!" "Duel!"

【Tiancheng Guang, LP: 4000】

【Yulong, LP: 4000】

The two Duel Disks unfolded, and they simultaneously drew five cards as their starting hands.

"I'll take the first turn!" The Blue Academy student shouted and drew a card at light speed.

Holy crap—he's cheating—

Tiancheng Guang just wanted to shout this, but suddenly remembered that in the era of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the first player could still draw a card, so he hurriedly stopped his actions.

It was just that the opponent started drawing cards as soon as he said "I'll take the first turn," which really made Tiancheng Guang a bit unresponsive.

If you could take the first turn just by shouting fast, then he must practice this ability in the future. How cool would it be to take the first turn every time?

After Yulong finished drawing the card, he looked at the card in his hand and showed a ferocious smile: "Haha, you're finished."

"Activate the Spell card, Fusion Sage!"

He showed a card from his hand and revealed a fanatic smile: "This card can add a Fusion from the deck to the hand!"

"I actually got Fusion at the start!"

"Haha, that yellow kid is finished."

A group of Fusion Department students who had already changed into purple uniforms saw Yulong playing like this and nodded repeatedly, praising him.

"A student from the Yellow Academy actually came to participate in the screening of the Fusion Department. It's really overestimating his own strength!"

"The Ancient Gear deck is a deck that only we Blue Academy are worthy of using!"

"That's right, our professor in charge is Professor Chronos!"

"Don't think that just because the professor made a mistake and was defeated by a poor student from the Red Academy, anyone can challenge our status!"

These people said excitedly.

"Mamma Mia..." In the first row of the spectator area, Professor Chronos, wearing heavy makeup and a long blue tailcoat, heard the students' words and buried his whole head low.

This is also normal. Although he doesn't support the Fusion Department, the general-purpose deck of the Fusion Department is "Ancient Gear" after all. As an expert on this deck, he naturally wants to see what kind of students want to use his deck.

But as soon as he heard these discussions, the face of this face-loving professor suddenly couldn't hold it.

"Watch the duel, watch the duel!" He bit his handkerchief and said a few words through his teeth in pain.

On the other side, Yulong was still operating: "I Normal Summon, Ancient Gear Knight!"

?

Tiancheng Guang was slightly stunned.

Along with Yulong's operation, an old robot with steel all over its body, holding a shield in its left hand and a spear in its right hand, suddenly emerged and became the first monster summoned in this book.

Ancient Gear Knight, Level 4, Earth Attribute, 1800 ATK, Gemini.

"Ancient Gear?" Many Red and Yellow students in the stands showed puzzled expressions.

You already have an Ancient Gear deck, so why are you participating in this screening duel?

Tiancheng Guang looked to his right, looking at those Fusion Department students. They all had expressions of watching a joke, as if they had already predicted the ending.

"A powerful monster with 1800 ATK just by Normal Summoning! So amazing!" Jaden shouted excitedly.

"Hmph, got Fusion on the first turn, and summoned a wall with 1800 ATK. Yulong's first turn is not bad!"

"In this way, we just need to wait for other fusion materials."

"It's not in vain that we lent the deck to a few students in the Blue Academy."

The Fusion Department students discussed enthusiastically, their voices huge, as if they were afraid that students from other academies wouldn't hear them.

"End turn." Yulong sneered arrogantly.

Tiancheng Guang was dumbfounded.

The opponent performed too many tricks for him.

That's it?

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Yulong laughed loudly, "Since you're scared, hurry up and surrender! Let me tell you, Fusion is not something anyone can touch!"

Tiancheng Guang raised his eyebrows and curled his lips slightly.

Tsk.

What a weak first turn.

No disruption at all, only a front row of 1800 ATK... You know, even if Axe Raiders were fighting, they wouldn't even set a back row.

If you set a Sakuretsu Armor, I would consider you to have tried hard!

He shook his head gently: "Classmate."

"What?"

"In my long learning career, I realized one thing."

"?"

"The more people chase Fusion, the less they can understand Fusion. Because people always want to gather fusion materials. Just like you."

"You searched for Fusion, but you could only hold it in your hand, and then Normal Summon a monster! With you like this, why are you worthy of joining the Fusion Army!"

"Fusion should be the most noble form of summoning. Any redundant action is disrespectful to Fusion!"

"What!?"

Let alone Yulong, even some Fusion Department students were stunned when they heard Tiancheng Guang's words, and some even couldn't help but pick their ears, suspecting they had heard wrong.

Brothers just admire Fusion, you are really crazy!

"My turn, draw card—"

He looked at his hand, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.

Damn, six Spell cards.

In any other situation, he would have conceded, but fortunately, he wasn't playing "Master Duel."

His face showed a cold smile. He looked straight ahead, directly raised his hand, and shouted: "Fusion Summoning is the most noble form of summoning!

So, just Fusion is enough!!"

"I pay 1000 Life Points, activate. Fusion Spell card, Instant Fusion!"

"Special Summon a non-effect Fusion monster of Level 6 or lower from the Extra Deck as a Fusion Summon!"

"Come, Fusion Summon, Bracchio-raidus!"

Along with his shout, a blue dinosaur roared and flew directly out of the Extra Deck, standing beside Tiancheng Guang.

Bracchio-raidus, Level 6, Water Attribute, 2200 ATK. Fusion monster.

"No, not using any fusion materials, directly Fusion??" Someone opened their eyes wide and subconsciously rubbed their eyes.

"Wow, too strong." Jaden saw Bracchio-raidus being Special Summoned directly and showed surprise, "Wow, if Heroes had this kind of card..."

All the students watching, whether they were not interested in the Fusion Department, or those Fusion Army students who lent cards to Yulong and other test students and were ready to watch the jokes of students from other academies, or even Professor Chronos, who didn't have the heart to watch, were shocked by Tiancheng Guang's move.

So... Fusion can be played like this?
