Chapter 311
Hikari Tenjou went sightseeing in the S Dimension for a few more days.
About a week later, the Kaiba Corporation stationed in the S Dimension finally finished reviewing the information on the S Dimension side, and Hikari Tenjou brought Serena and Ruri to the Kaiba Corporation branch and transmitted back to the F Dimension.
Before leaving, Hikari Tenjou and Yusei agreed that next time there was a WRGP, he would definitely come to witness Yusei's duel—he couldn't participate; the WRGP required a three-person team duel. Yusei, Crow, and Jack formed a team for Turbo Dueling, and Hikari Tenjou could at most be a substitute, nothing more.
Of course.
Considering that every time he thought "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me, I'll just join in the fun and leave," he would be drawn into an incident, Hikari Tenjou felt that next time he came, who knew what kind of trouble would happen again, so he didn't say it definitively, only saying to leave him a substitute spot.
Serena naturally followed Hikari Tenjou back to the F Dimension. As for Ruri, she didn't know anyone in the S Dimension. Since there was Serena, who was familiar and had saved her, she naturally chose to follow to the F Dimension.
After all, staying in the S Dimension might lead to encountering some strange things; it was better to be with Serena.
At least safety was guaranteed.
After returning to the academy, Hikari Tenjou found Professor Crowler immediately and explained the specific situation to him.
Upon hearing that Zero Akaba had been defeated by Hikari Tenjou, the Professor was somewhat melancholy, not knowing whether he was sighing at the changes in the world or the development of events.
But in short, since Zero Akaba had failed, the follow-up should be quite reassuring—
That was, of course, impossible.
Zero Akaba's failure was indeed a symbol of the Fusion Army's failure.
But this didn't mean the Fusion Army had completely disappeared.
In their world, the Fusion Army was indeed shouted at by everyone, but the Fusion Army, which gathered for profit and ambition, and those ambitious people who tried to occupy resources in other dimensions, would never be few.
Even if the Fusion Army was gone, they might be able to do things under the banner of the Fusion Army, so the Fusion Army would still exist in this world for a short time.
Moreover, although the Fusion Army no longer had a "Dong Zhuo," it still had a "Lu Bu"—Yuri.
So one still couldn't let their guard down.
As for Ruri.
According to Professor Crowler, the diplomatic team sent by the Kaiba Corporation had just arrived in the X Dimension. Before that, they couldn't communicate with the X Dimension side, and it was still in a state of blockade.
Of course, considering Ruri was from the X Dimension, he could help Ruri write a letter and hand it to the Kaiba Corporation, letting them help operate it.
Before contacting Ruri's family in the X Dimension, Ruri could only stay here.
If Ruri didn't want to waste time, she could study in their academy. Although her age didn't meet the standard, since Serena was the same age as her—and sounded like a parallel world counterpart—then attending the first grade was not an unacceptable thing.
Professor Crowler was still very interested in this.
If there was an "interdimensional" student during his tenure as acting principal, it would be very good for the school's development.
So he was very excited when talking about this.
Regarding this, Ruri didn't have any opinions.
Having the opportunity to learn the summoning methods of this dimension and some knowledge of this dimension was also a novel experience for her.
"Yay!" Serena cheered on the side.
Hikari Tenjou directly patted her head.
"You apologize to the Professor first!"
Serena's enthusiastic mood suddenly sank, and she apologized to the Professor coyly.
Professor Crowler listened to Serena's apology with a calm smile on his face. After listening for a long time, he nodded and said it was no big deal.
It was indeed no big deal.
Thinking about it carefully, it was just average.
Compared to the things Judai caused for him last year, it was still a small matter.
Compared to Judai, the Slifer Red top student, where did she, this Slifer Red top student, even stand?
Judai was messing around in various dark games by himself, while Serena still had Hikari Tenjou, this senior, by her side; no matter how you looked at it, the matter was much smaller than Judai's.
By now, he didn't even care much about the things Judai caused; Serena's matters were truly fine.
After this, Hikari Tenjou didn't do anything else. Besides going to the Magician's Academy and getting a brand-new "Invoked" monster, he only got a date.
It was said that seven days later, the Witchcrafter alley would open again. At that time, Hikari Tenjou should be able to see the leader of the Witchcrafters.
After waiting for so long, he finally waited for someone.
As long as he gathered the certification of the Witchcrafter Master, the Glass Witch, Hikari Tenjou would have gathered the recognition of 3 "Great Sages" and could directly reach the Magician's realm.
But this last recognition couldn't be found even now.
Hikari Tenjou was really speechless.
Really good at slacking off.
Fortunately, he was finally going back.
Hikari Tenjou returned to the academy and first looked for Chazz, finding Chazz who had fallen asleep on the table at some point. The moment Hikari Tenjou pushed the door open, he woke up suddenly, shook his head, and raised his hand to say hello.
Hikari Tenjou still had some promotional work to cooperate with Professor Crowler, so he came to find Chazz before work. He didn't expect him to be this busy now. Hikari Tenjou threw the previous video machine to Chazz and told him to remember to edit the last duel.
He knew Chazz would definitely review it, so there was no need to say much, just teasing that the current Chazz didn't look like a young master of a big group at all, with dark circles under his eyes that were terrifying. Chazz just brushed it off with a few words.
Then, he said: "In two days, I'm going back to the group."
Speaking of this suddenly at this time, Hikari Tenjou immediately understood his meaning.
"Ha, that is to say, you are really going to decide the winner with your brothers?"
"Hmm—because of the Fusion Army matter, they also received a lot of blame in the group. My performance during this period made my family very satisfied, so there is an opportunity to decide the winner with them."
While speaking, he took out a list from the drawer: "You should know, right? [Representative Duel]."
"That kind of duel between big companies, right?" Hikari Tenjou nodded.
He and Rex Raptor were both spokespersons for the Kaiba Corporation and also representative duelists for the Kaiba Corporation. When different companies needed to duel to promote or decide the "winner" to determine strategies, they would participate in the duel.
"Generally speaking, a company has at most one main representative, and others are secondary duelists. Like in the Kaiba Corporation, Mr. Raptor is the chief, and you are the second. And some large groups may have multiple.
They provided a list of representative duels."
He picked up the list and explained to Hikari Tenjou.
According to the popular trends and development of this world, besides business and economy, there had to be a representative duel.
Among them, "Chazz Princeton," as a competitor of the group, had to duel with his two brothers. Considering that both brothers were novices, it was specially allowed to have a "2v1" duel, with Chazz Princeton facing two brothers alone.
Hikari Tenjou didn't express any opinion on this.
Although Chazz's two brothers realized after the Alliance Hangar that true duelists and people like them who joined in the fun were two different kinds of "people," so they also started to study and research dueling seriously, they were novices after all. Even if it was 2v1, Hikari Tenjou felt that Chazz might not necessarily lose.
Secondly, it was the proxy duel.
A total of two matches, one 1v1 and one 2v2, which was also the popular trend of this world—because most spirit worlds were more popular with 2v2 to observe the bond and adaptability between duelists, so 2v2 gradually became popular in this world.
"For the 1v1 duel, I asked Senior Zane to help." Chazz said.
The relationship between Chazz and Zane Truesdale was quite good. In the original work, Chazz once apprenticed to Zane, letting Zane become his mentor in love. In this world, although this didn't happen, Chazz and Zane also walked very close.
Therefore, it was not strange for Chazz to find Zane as a proxy.
After all, Zane not only had a good image but also had strong ability. If it weren't for luck, meeting Kaiser early, many people believed that in the GX tournament, Zane would definitely be able to reach the final 4 stage.
In any case, Zane was definitely an excellent selector.
"For 2v2. Are you interested in teaming up with Judai for a duel?" Chazz rubbed his temples, looking a bit headache-prone.
He had already looked for Judai before for his goal, letting Judai participate in the duel, but he didn't know when Hikari Tenjou would return to the academy at that time, so he didn't decide on the last player.
If Hikari Tenjou hadn't returned, he might still have to look for Syrus Truesdale.
After all, Syrus Truesdale's performance during this period was quite excellent, and he had already been promoted to Yellow Academy. Moreover, the cooperation between Syrus Truesdale and Judai in the Critical Point dimension was also obvious to all, plus the two had participated in several double duels, so it was also a good choice.
The only problem was that his relationship with Syrus Truesdale was not that good, so looking for the other party abruptly felt a bit wrong.
Fortunately, now that Hikari Tenjou was back, everything was fine.
Because his relationship with Syrus Truesdale was not that close, but his relationship with Hikari Tenjou was iron-clad, and Hikari Tenjou wouldn't have any problems teaming up with anyone.
"When?" Hikari Tenjou asked directly.
He naturally wouldn't refuse this kind of competition. On one hand, teaming up with Judai for a double duel was very interesting to him. On the other hand, in this kind of world-class group duel, the opponent definitely wouldn't be someone without a name; maybe he could get some strange and powerful cards.
Hikari Tenjou was still very interested in this.
Chazz looked at his phone: "Seven days... eight days?"
He felt his head was not very clear and might need to sleep well.
Hikari Tenjou nodded.
That was quite good.
"Opponent?"
"Don't know—why, are you afraid?"
"Ha, you're the one, if you don't sleep, be careful of being defeated by your novice brothers together."
Chazz yawned and reached out to chase people away. Hikari Tenjou didn't care too much, said goodbye, and left directly.
After Hikari Tenjou left, Chazz breathed a sigh of relief and stretched fiercely.
For the past half month, before Hikari Tenjou returned, he was still worried about whether Hikari Tenjou would be trapped in the S Dimension and whether he should give up things at home to find Hikari Tenjou. But since Hikari Tenjou was back, everything could be at ease.
He looked at those things in his hand and could finally be at ease.
"Yo! Hikari, back? Any interesting things in the S Dimension?" Just walking out of Chazz's room, Hikari Tenjou saw Judai wandering in the Fusion Department, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to find someone to duel.
Hikari Tenjou sighed and asked if he knew about the subsequent double duel. When he heard that it was Hikari Tenjou teaming up with him, he immediately revealed a smile, stretched out his thumb and said: "Hahaha, that's great."
He looked like he was in very good spirits.
Since the Critical Point, Hikari Tenjou had rarely seen Judai so enthusiastic.
Thinking about it carefully, he rarely saw Judai go out every day to find people to duel.
It seemed he and "himself" chatted quite well.
"Tell you, Hikari, the current me, is terrifyingly strong—" he leaned close to Hikari Tenjou and said to him.
How terrifying, Elemental HERO Stratos special summoned by A Hero Lives?
Or Polymerization to fuse Bubbleman and Avian, then tribute summon Elemental HERO Neos?
Hikari Tenjou didn't know what he was talking about, but since he was so confident, Hikari Tenjou nodded immediately, expressing his expectation for Judai's duel.
Turning back, Hikari Tenjou returned to the Great Universe Workshop and released the Three Phantom Demons.
Although the three reached a consensus with Hikari Tenjou in Zero Akaba's duel, there were some things Hikari Tenjou still had to talk to them about properly.
After all, the three were true "demons" who would devour the life force of humans and spirits. One couldn't let their guard down just because the three followed Hikari Tenjou.
Tierra talked to them, set three rules, and finally reached a result.
As long as the Three Phantom Demons followed Hikari Tenjou's requirements, they could exchange for the "life force" of spirits in this great universe by paying their power, or simply obtain the life force of the "Philosopher's Stone." But if they dared to cross the line, then Hikari Tenjou dared to take them out and stuff them into the basement of the Dueling Academy to continue sealing them.
As long as they could follow the agreement, then Hikari Tenjou and the spirits of his team would respect them.
The three demons were not completely brainless. Having experienced being dismantled by Zero Akaba, the three of them indeed needed a place that was willing to respect them and let them rest, so it was a hit.
This was also good.
Hikari Tenjou watched the three demons helping to build and construct a new ecological environment in the Great Universe Workshop, thinking that as long as they didn't do evil, they could be considered "gods," so he didn't manage too much.
Anyway, Chaos Phantasm Armityle was in his hands. If the three couldn't unite, they were far from Tierra's opponent—after the duel with Zero Akaba ended, Tierra began to build a Pendulum machine in the Great Universe Workshop. After this period of installation and Z-one's plan improvement, plus the remnants of the Great Spirit series, Tierra had gradually mastered "Pendulum" and began to restore her power of "creation."
Although she couldn't create cards yet, it was obviously not going to take long.
Hikari Tenjou still had one chance for dimensional travel this month, but he had to save it for the Witchcrafter alley, so he wasn't in a hurry, just participating in various activities and promotional work with Professor Crowler in the academy.
Fortunately, he was used to it in the Kaiba Corporation's advertisements, so he wasn't too tired.
Just when he was about to participate in the duel, the Kaiba Corporation called him.
"Agent Hikari, we found it!"
Found it? Oh—the legendary duelist!
Hikari Tenjou's eyes lit up.
As a result, he heard again.
They didn't just find one!
It turned out that during this period, they searched for a lot of information on legendary duelists. Among them, some were willing to accept Hikari Tenjou's challenge, and some were currently active in the market.
Among them, it just happened to be Hikari Tenjou and Judai's next opponents—
The Paradox Brothers.
"It is said that they obtained super strong new power and are now guests of the Chazz Princeton Group. We know that you have a friend who is the young master of the Chazz Princeton Group. This is an opportunity—"
"Ha, that's just right, you can go record in a few days." Before the other side finished speaking, Hikari Tenjou interrupted the other side with a smile.
"Ah?" The other side shouted in surprise, and then immediately responded, "Okay, I understand, we will be there!"
