Chapter 330: Prepared Test

The duel started soon.

The two sides of the battle were Judai and Manjoume, dueling Teacher Daitokuji and another magician-type monster.

It seems to be a Witch of the Time Flower, I don't know if it was Teacher Daitokuji's friend before or a spirit he met after coming to the Magician's Domain.

Surprisingly, in the end, he didn't call Summoner Aleister, who looked very close to him.

After the duel started, Aleister came to Tenjou Hikari's side, watched the duel alone, and asked Tenjou Hikari a few questions coldly.

Tenjou Hikari dealt with it while watching the duel, and generally understood in his heart.

The duel with Judai and Manjoume is a test of combat.

And his "test" is a test of auxiliary ability, testing his ability outside of dueling.

After all, his dueling has been recognized by many people, and outside of this, Teacher Daitokuji and Aleister should have secretly watched many of his other duels, and it is estimated that they think there is no need to continue to test his dueling ability.

And while chatting, suddenly, Aleister changed the subject.

"Hikari, now, you, Judai, and Manjoume are not at Duel Academy. If Duel Academy has an accident, what should you do?"

"Accident?"

"Strange forces, resurrected evil spirits, invaders from other dimensions who don't know where they appeared, or a irritable spirit from some dimension... In short, an existence like this suddenly appeared, what should you do?"

"..."

Tenjou Hikari was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "I have always been worried that Serena would be ambushed by the Fusion Army one day. Later, she even made a move to break into the Fusion Army's headquarters alone, so..."

Duel Academy Main School.

With bursts of whistles, ships arrived at the island of Duel Academy's main school.

"Waha, is this the main school!" Johan from the Nordic branch landed and shouted excitedly, "Judai, I'm coming!"

"The island where that man is..." Amon from the Eastern branch got off his ship, felt the atmosphere of the academy, and said nothing.

Besides that, American branch, Western branch, Northern branch... ships arrived at Duel Academy.

Not to mention those representatives of branch schools who were wandering around the island or getting to know the students on the island, professors from various branch schools arrived at the principal's office of Duel Academy one after another.

In the principal's office, Professor Chronos looked a little haggard. He had been working hard for several months, constantly assessing and analyzing the "Fusion Army Teacher" group, and he was also responsible for contacting other academy teachers, and he was also responsible for using students like Tenjou Hikari to reverse the academy's reputation. A period of time ago, because of Tenjou Hikari's fame, he had to take time to protect Tenjou Hikari, consuming a lot of energy.

Beside him, Napoleon, who was acting as the temporary principal's assistant, also wiped sweat with a handkerchief from time to time.

Although he had always been against Professor Chronos, the performance of Chronos's "disciples" during this period was too good, and the "Society of Light" he trusted also lost to Tenjou Hikari. In this case, everything he said was wrong, and Professor Chronos had officially transformed toward the position of "principal," so he couldn't stop anything, so he could only assist with all his strength.

Because it was too busy during this time, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"Eh..." Napoleon wiped sweat with a handkerchief, and then continued to explain as he saw several other branch school professors walk into the principal's office and wait for them to speak.

Next, a "Duel Academy Representative Exchange" semester will be held. In addition to normal learning, every duel must participate in several "Professor Scoring" assessments under the observation of the general person in charge of Duel Academy—that is, him and Professor Chronos. Only if all assessments are at a specific benchmark score can they continue to be responsible for the affairs of the branch school as branch school agents.

"Why should we listen to your assessment?" Some professors expressed dissatisfaction.

After all, although they are professors of branch schools, their ratings are at the same level as the main school's professors, and they can all decide the research and development direction of their own academy. For example, this speaker is a professor who tries to promote Synchro Summoning in his own academy.

"Oh, calm down, calm down, assessment, there is one every year, believe that Medici will not make things difficult for us." A professor who looked like a good old man rounded things up, but didn't even call the name, let alone the title of professor. He just mentioned the surname casually, and it didn't look like he respected the main school's professors too much.

Napoleon wiped sweat with a handkerchief again, and then continued: "This is the result of the joint discussion of Kaiba Corporation..."

"Alright." Suddenly—

A man like a poisonous snake stepped forward, and the professors who resisted were silenced.

Because this man who stepped forward was really too tall and too famous.

Professor Cobra!

Among many professors, the famous "military duelist," his "Venom deck" is very terrifying. In the duels of these professors in previous years, almost no one has defeated him.

"Oh! Professor Cobra!" Napoleon shouted excitedly.

He actually stood on our side, great!

Professor Chronos couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Mommy—worthy of being Professor Cobra who refused to cooperate with Akaba Reiji, really reliable.

"As a teacher, as a professor, as the highest person in charge of the branch school, we should accept the assessment of the main school in this special situation. There is nothing big about it."

"Cut..." "Hmph..."

"Are you starting to flatter the future principal?"

"This Cobra guy..." [553-45

Everyone was of the same rank, no one was more noble than anyone else, and as a result, having to accept an investigation as "suspects" right off the bat was naturally something none of them would accept. However, since someone had already expressed their stance, if they continued to argue, it would only seem unreasonable, and they might even be suspected by Kaiba Corp of being related to Reiji Akaba, so they did not continue to object.

After all, the investigation only made them unhappy; they themselves had nothing to do with Reiji Akaba, and nothing would happen to them.

After Cobra and the group quieted down, he put on a smile again and said to Professor Chronos: "Then, Professor Chronos, I heard that your star pupil Tenjou Hikari has established a Fusion Department, and it is said that they even defeated Reiji Akaba's activity club, seizing and proving the legitimacy of [Fusion]. I wonder if you could take us to see it?"

"That I can—" Upon hearing Cobra mention this, Professor Chronos's favorability toward Professor Cobra suddenly became even higher.

After all, that was the activity club established by his star student Tenjou Hikari!

The other professors also became curious upon hearing this.

After all, as educators, there might be conflicts and competition among them, but when it came to students, they only had thoughts of responsibility and guidance.

"However, student Tenjou submitted an application today, so he should have gone on a dimensional adventure, and thus is not at the academy."

"Is that so?" Professor Cobra narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifting, and he said very regretfully, "That is truly a pity. It seems I will only be able to see these excellent students after the semester begins."

Regardless, since the topic had reached this point, Professor Chronos also had the intention to showcase the achievements of the Fusion Department, so he led the professors from the other branches to the Fusion Department.

As soon as they arrived at the Fusion Department, Professor Cobra revealed an even more satisfied smile.

It was brilliant, perfect—one by one, they were all duelists possessing excellent Dueling Energy.

Even the ordinary members likely produced Dueling Energy that wouldn't be bad; it was wonderful...

Then, Yu...

Just as he was thinking of calling Yubel, he suddenly noticed a strange plush toy placed on the front desk.

It was a strange purple squid plush toy, its body pierced by many sharp objects, looking quite eerie. Combined with the eyeballs that faintly emitted a red light, it appeared even more sinister, as if it could scare children to tears.

Why would such an eerie doll be placed in an activity club?

He glanced around the first-floor lobby of the Fusion Department.

There were also Griffin dolls and Hound dolls?

This art style, it seemed to be the "Fluffal" monsters under Reiji Akaba?

He remembered that Reiji Akaba's members would also send such dolls to freshmen to lure them into joining the club.

But...

Why did these plush toys vaguely make him feel a sense of horror?!
