Chapter 324

A few days later.

"Student Tiancheng, please wait a moment."

Just as Tiancheng Kō and Serina returned to the forest station, preparing to change direction again and go to the center of the critical point, the station staff stopped Tiancheng Kō.

"There is a letter for you."

"A letter?"

Tiancheng Kō was a bit confused.

Can there still be letters in this day and age?

"A letter from Principal Chronos to you." The Kaiba Corporation staff continued.

"So that's it." Tiancheng Kō understood.

Since that was the case, it must be a letter with physical items.

He and Serina followed the station staff to the Kaiba Corporation courier station, where there were many busy staff members.

Inside the station, there were mountains of various items, and the busy staff members were wiping their sweat while recording things.

Tiancheng Kō asked and found out that these things were not school items, but things sent by parents from all over the world to their children. Because students from various branches of Duel Academy were all over the world, and when the children went on adventures in other dimensions, these parents couldn't really not worry at all, just treating it as if they went out for tourism, so naturally, parents from all over the world sent things to their children.

Parents might send things to their children at any time from all over the world, which led to Kaiba Corporation personnel responsible for this aspect having to work 24-hour shifts to arrange everything.

"Hiss... thank you for your hard work." After hearing this, Tiancheng Kō hurriedly thanked them.

What Chronos sent him was a letter, sealed with the unique KC seal of Kaiba Corporation. This was a "highest-level" letter, and ordinary Kaiba Corporation employees didn't even have the authority to perform cargo inspection tests on it.

Looking at this letter, Tiancheng Kō also realized that there must be something particularly important in this letter, otherwise Professor Chronos would definitely not use such a high-spec item.

"Hmm, I feel a very interesting power, Tiancheng Kō." When Tiancheng Kō got the letter and went to the station's lounge with Serina, Tiera couldn't help but whisper, "I felt a similar power on that human named Chui Xue before."

Chui Xue?

Darkness?

Tiancheng Kō frowned. He opened the letter and found the card inside. He carefully put the card down first, then read the letter. On the side, Serina also curiously leaned her head over to look.

It took a few minutes for the two of them to understand the things in Chronos's letter, and each had their own reactions.

Serina had a strange sense of loss.

Because judging from the content of Chronos's letter, the good news was that her father was indeed fine and even had the mind to continue making trouble. So she didn't become an orphan again.

But, the bad news was that her father was really fine and even had the mind to make trouble. So she might as well have become an orphan...

"Sigh..." The little girl was full of worries.

Through Chronos's letter, Tiancheng Kō also learned about the current situation in the human world and knew that the professor was fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

As for asking him to pay attention to the situation of the GX Tournament...

Tiancheng Kō nodded at the letter.

Even if the professor didn't entrust it to him, out of his own heart, he would do so.

Because, since the new semester, Tiancheng Kō had been paying attention to the matter of the Light of Ruin and had also begun to dismantle the small dimensional strongholds of the Fusion Army one after another. Doing what he could and what he wanted to do. In addition, this competition was also the last competition prepared by Principal Jiaodao before he resigned, and its significance was very heavy. Whether it was personal feelings or a sense of responsibility, he had to do his best.

Since that was the case, he wouldn't put down this "duty" either. Coupled with the Fusion Army, he wouldn't slack off even more. In fact, he didn't need the professor to specifically ask him.

Teachers have teachers' responsibilities, and as the current "chief" of the academy, he naturally had to be responsible too.

After roughly understanding the situation, Tiancheng Kō went to look at the two cards protected by card bricks and card sleeves. One of the cards, even if its appearance was covered by a pure black card brick, could still emit faint black energy. If there were no accidents, it was clearly the "Darklord" card mentioned by Professor Chronos.

He opened the card brick, took off the nested card sleeves, and then looked at the appearance of the card.

Darklord Zerato?

It was also a card with many versions, including Synchro, Ritual, Fairy, Demon, and Zombie. It could be considered a protagonist of a relatively interesting Yu-Gi-Oh card art story.

Black energy like substance flowed on the card, and Tiancheng Kō could also feel that when he picked up this card, a force began to swirl in his right hand. The power in this card seemed to really want to mix into Tiancheng Kō's body.

This should be the "blessing" mentioned in the professor's letter, right?

Clearly, at least for this card, Tiancheng Kō fully met its "standard requirements."

Tiancheng Kō shook his right hand.

A bit stinging.

If it was a Darklord deck, there was actually Fusion. The "big brother" of Darklord, The First Darklord, was a Level 12 Fusion Monster, possessing effects that could be called comprehensive for Darklord, capable of attacking and sustaining.

Although having only one Fusion Monster didn't seem to be called a "Fusion deck," after the Despia deck appeared, the Despia-Branded-Darklord deck also became very powerful.

In Tiancheng Kō's spare cards, there was also the Darklord Fusion "The Darklord's Rebellion," but before, Tiancheng Kō had absolutely no place for that card. Maybe he would use it in the future.

After all, where there is one, there are two.

Since there were other "blessed" people, there would always be a time when they would meet.

And the other card...

Tiancheng Kō was a bit confused.

That was a mysterious card, and Tiancheng Kō didn't even know what that card was.

Because Chronos said in the letter that it was a card that Tiancheng Kō would definitely be excited enough to cheer for as soon as he saw it.

Because Chronos had been interrogated by Kaiba Corporation for more than a month and was welcomed as a hero, Chronos knew very well that he hadn't done such a thing at all, so when he received compensation from Kaiba Corporation, he didn't ask Kaiba Corporation for more powerful Ancient Gear cards.

He hoped that Kaiba Corporation could help him find a card, a card that had incomparable significance to the students, to him, and to Tiancheng Kō, had absolute significance to Tiancheng Kō's deck, fully met Tiancheng Kō's preferences, and was the most important card on Tiancheng's fusion path. He hoped that Kaiba Corporation could find that card.

Chronos originally thought that Kaiba Corporation shouldn't be able to find it, but he didn't expect that after Chronos asked, Kaiba Corporation searched through every branch of the company in the world and all friendly dimensions, and actually found that precious card in a certain dimension.

"What kind of card is it that would make the professor value it so much?" Serina looked at the unsealed card in surprise.

As a duelist, although she was disappointed that her father found another sister and then ignored her, what she was more curious about was what kind of card the famous legendary duelist Professor Chronos would prepare for her master that could be said to be so important.

"God card? Legendary card?" Serina fantasized.

If it was that kind of card, maybe she would have a chance to use it too!

Tiancheng Kō was also very curious. He opened the card brick and unwrapped the card sleeves layer by layer. As the card gradually revealed its colors, Tiancheng Kō suddenly had an inexplicable excitement.

"Wait, isn't this—" When seeing this card, even Tiera, who was joining in the fun, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Eh? Low-level monster?" Serina saw the revealed card and tilted her head in confusion.

Tiancheng Kō directly shouted "Ah!?"

Serina looked at her master and the spirit sister in confusion. That steady master actually shouted out loud? That spirit sister who usually had no interest in almost everything except her master was actually so excited?

Tiancheng Kō carefully held the card, his hands shaking a bit, as if he couldn't hold the card.

Professor—

Kaiba Corporation's compensation, could they actually find this kind of card?

If you wanted more precious Ancient Gear cards or other rare cards at the beginning, couldn't you have whatever you wanted?

The professor gave up too much, and was too good to him. He couldn't hide his inner feelings at all.

That's right.

What he held in his hand was an ordinary "low-level monster."

But, the card was not an 【ordinary】 card.

Because...

It was—

Aleister the Invoker!
