Chapter 4

In the next few days, Tenjou Hikari's study life was not affected at all.

Every day as usual, attending classes, learning card theory, learning end-game scenarios, learning alchemy, learning all kinds of messy physical arts...

Of course, besides this, the most important thing is naturally to duel with other classmates in the Fusion Club to "cultivate feelings," and by the way, gain enough power to print cards.

Dueling is not a rare thing at Duel Academy, and it's something that happens every day in the Fusion Club. However, after playing cards in the club for a few days, Tenjou Hikari more or less realized that there are also serious contradictions within the Fusion Club.

In these few days, Tenjou Hikari has never seen the professor in charge of the Fusion Club, "Leo Akaba." Most of the time, it's the seniors of the Fusion Club who arrange activities, and under such activities, he can clearly feel the "exclusion."

Although everyone is wearing purple uniforms symbolizing Fusion, some purples are clearly more "noble" than others.

That is... Blue Academy students.

Every day, every activity, whether it's deck experience or "simulated other-dimension" which doesn't exist in the original work but exists in this world, there is no share for Red and Yellow Academy students. Those senior Red and Yellow Fusion Club members seem to have always tacitly accepted this, just taking it.

Freshman students want to resist, but whenever this happens, they are arranged with powerful opponents, then beaten to a pulp, and finally can only humiliatingly accept it.

Duel Academy students naturally have to decide the outcome by dueling. Since you lost, what reason are you looking for!?

Tenjou Hikari couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this.

They are clearly Fusion Club members, but they still retain their previous concepts.

The purity is too low.

Tenjou Hikari is not interested in these, and he has no intention of standing up for others. He came here just for convenience and the Ancient Gear deck.

This day, he was watching and looking for opponents in the Fusion Club's Duel Hall as usual.

After a few days of research, he had already discovered that he could only brush for "power" once a day, but the more powerful the duelist, the more "power" they provided.

Even if he wins against some duelists who don't have much skill, he feels he can't get much power, and it wastes a day's opportunity, so although he also wants to duel someone today, he doesn't want to fight rashly.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a card on the ground in front of him. He picked it up out of curiosity, took a look, and was suddenly surprised.

"Ancient Gear Golem??" Question marks hung over his head. Although Ancient Gear Golem is not the rarest type of rare card in this world, it is still a rare card with the same attack power as [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]. How could someone just throw it away?

Just as he was thinking this, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Ah, it's Senior Liu's Ancient Gear Golem!"

"Found the thief!"

?

Tenjou Hikari looked at the few classmates from the same club who suddenly appeared around him, feeling very confused: "What are you talking about, I just picked it up casually. Since you know the owner, you guys take it to him."

A group of Blue Academy students were stunned when they heard Tenjou Hikari's words.

The script is wrong?

Facing a rare card like Ancient Gear Golem, whose attack power is comparable to Blue-Eyes White Dragon, he didn't hide it immediately, but instead prepared to hand it over!?

What kind of reaction is this? That's a card comparable to Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

"What's wrong, didn't you say it was Senior Liu's card? If the card is lost, he should be very anxious."

Tenjou Hikari really didn't associate it with any conspiracy or trickery for a moment. He just put himself in the other person's shoes, thinking about how nervous he would be if he lost a card, so he walked over and prepared to hand it over.

"I heard you found the guy who stole the card?"

Just as they were at a stalemate, a tall student with an epaulet on his shoulder, clearly a senior, walked over and said coldly.

"Are you Senior Liu? This is what I just picked up..."

"Hmph, Yellow Academy is Yellow Academy, stealing and not admitting it." Liu directly interrupted Tenjou Hikari's words.

Tenjou Hikari tilted his head: "How about we check the surveillance?"

"..." Liu was silent for a moment, coughed, and then continued, "A guy like you is not worthy of being in our Fusion Army at all!"

Now, Tenjou Hikari completely understood.

He glanced at the few students of the same grade and went through it again from the beginning: "So that's it. You deliberately threw the card, wanting to trick other students into picking it up and keeping it, and then frame them for stealing, right?

Hmph... this is a big crime."

Stealing cards is a top-tier evil in the duelist's worldview! If you carry such a reputation, your life is over!

But Tenjou Hikari was not afraid.

This guy named Liu is at least a second-year student. Dueling him should yield a lot of "power."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense." Tenjou Hikari directly interrupted their acting, "Isn't it just wanting to drive me away? Just say it, what's the big deal!

Being with a bunch of insects like you, I'm not happy either."

"What did you say!"

"Am I wrong!" Tenjou Hikari raised his voice and shouted angrily, "Look at what good things you've done! All day long, you only know how to bully and suppress other classmates. With you like this, you haven't put your heart into the supreme [Fusion] at all!

Your philosophy of Fusion is not pure enough!

Being with insects like you, how can you do Fusion well!?"

Eh?

Ah?

Several people were sprayed by Tenjou Hikari until their brains were oxygen-deprived, collectively stunned, completely not knowing what to say.

No, brothers came to the Fusion Club just because they felt Fusion Summoning was strong. Where did you get so crazy?

Because of Tenjou Hikari's shouting, some other classmates couldn't help but gather around. They didn't know what happened before, but some senior students just took one look and immediately understood the situation.

The old trick.

Liu often plays this trick to drive away students who make him unhappy.

Some senior Red and Yellow Academy students immediately clenched their fists and looked at Liu angrily.

Although some Blue Academy students also didn't like Liu's approach, Liu was "one of their own" after all. Seeing that they were about to quarrel, they immediately gathered on their side. The number of people suddenly created a huge gap, as if they could surround Tenjou Hikari's side in an instant, which scared some senior Red and Yellow Academy students into retreating, but those Red and Yellow freshmen who had always been bullied shouted more firmly for Tenjou Hikari.

Tenjou Hikari waved his left hand, the duel disk unfolded automatically. He stood in front of his few companions and shouted directly at the opponent: "Stop doing these hypocritical things, Senior!

Since we are students of Duel Academy, let everything be decided by dueling!

You and I, right here, right now, let's duel!

If you win, I will quit the Fusion Club directly, and from then on, I will never step into the Fusion Club again!"

Liu had a gloomy face. Tenjou Hikari exposed his conspiracy in public, making him lose face. At this moment, hearing Tenjou Hikari say this, he nodded gloomily.

"Then, vice versa. If I win—then you must apologize to me in front of all the Fusion Club classmates! And this card belongs to me, you are not worthy of using it! How about that!"

Quitting the club and the card.

The former is three years of gossip and bullying, the latter is a card lent to students by the academy for three years.

The two are not necessarily equivalent.

So this "apology" is not strange to add, Liu can accept it.

It's just that he couldn't help but say gloomily again: "Heh, I thought you said it so nicely, but in the end, aren't you just greedy for my card?"

"You can think whatever you want." Tenjou Hikari sneered, looked at a Red Academy student next to him, and said to him, "Classmate, please help me contact Professor Crowler, let him keep this card, I hope he can be the referee for this time!"
