Chapter 552

In the dimensional gate set up by the Fusion Department, Tenjou Hikari simply tested the safety.

Tenjou Hikari comes at least once a week for maintenance and checks the safety and accuracy every time. After all, this dimensional gate is to be left to the excellent members of the Fusion Department in the future. Perhaps it is the only thing Tenjou Hikari leaves to this school, so it must be checked multiple times.

Maybe he has to leave oil paper bags and prepare maintenance materials.

After all, except for him, only Serena learned alchemy, so only Serena can perform maintenance according to the tutorial. Others don't use legendary items like "oil paper bags," so I'm afraid they don't know how to maintain it at all.

Of course, even so, I'm afraid it can only be passed down for two or three years at most. After that, it will depend on the performance of the Fusion Department.

This is a very simple matter. Tenjou Hikari is just the founder of this Fusion Department. The Fusion Department has its current treatment because of the efforts of founders like Tenjou Hikari.

And if the successors sit and eat the sky, and don't have excellent results in the school's learning and competitions, keeping such things is meaningless.

And if it is passed down continuously and is always excellent, then it is not impossible to get special prizes from the school and obtain the authority of an independent dimensional gate like Chima Lingwang's Fusion Department.

Jūdai moves his hands and feet excitedly on the spot, while Manjoume sighs, lamenting that he is really an idiot, but the curiosity in his eyes still exposes his thoughts.

After all, the place they are going to next is that "Magic Realm."

"There is only one chance." Tenjou Hikari holds three cards in his hand, "The Proof of the Three Sages can only let us enter that dimension once. If we fail, we have to find other ways to come back."

It's not that it can only be transmitted once, but that it must succeed to come back.

This is also the experience of Tenjou Hikari and Jūdai.

After making preparations, Tenjou Hikari activated the dimensional gate. Green alchemical symbols began to flicker, and finally, the figures of the three gradually became illusory, and finally, disappeared in this dimension.

When they came back to their senses, Tenjou Hikari and the others found that they were already in a giant room.

No.

It's a room.

Actually, it's more of an "iron cage."

"Ah. Last time, it was also like this." Jūdai puts his hands behind his head indifferently.

"What!? Isn't this basically a prison—" Because it was his first time coming to such a place, Manjoume was slightly panicked and yelled.

"Hahaha, Manjoume, don't be so nervous, this is just a welcome ceremony, a welcome ceremony." Jūdai puts his hands behind his back, so calm.

Once familiar, twice familiar, this is the second time, and he has nothing to be afraid of.

Snap—

A torch lights up, and then, countless torches light up with flames around this prison. Several figures come to the front of the prison. The figure appearing in front of them is exactly a figure they are all familiar with.

Dark Magician!

It is not the "red-black" Dark Magician held by Tenjou Hikari, but the more well-known, pitch-black armor!

The highest-level magician—Dark Magician!

Beside him, a small and cute Magician Girl follows, waving enthusiastically at them.

"Ah, it's Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl!" Manjoume has a feeling of seeing an idol.

"Wow... it's Dark Magician." Jūdai looks at the appearance of Dark Magician, also exclaiming in surprise.

This color, isn't this the legendary Yugi Mutou's trump card, Dark Magician!?

Exactly the same!

"Hi~~ Hello hello, everyone~~ It's been a year, how have you been?" Dark Magician Girl greets Tenjou Hikari and others familiarly.

It's been a year...

Several people look at each other, but they are not too surprised.

【There is only one Dark Magician Girl in the world】 This is a recognized thing.

Yes, although the world is full of love for card game "idols" like Dark Magician Girl, and there are even cards like Magician Valkyria whose image is almost exactly Dark Magician Girl, in reality, there is only one Dark Magician Girl in the world, and that is the Dark Magician Girl in Yugi Mutou's hand.

Some say that card was specially made for Yugi Mutou after Pegasus lost to Yugi Mutou, and some say it was a card created by Yugi Mutou relying on his own spirit power that did not exist in the world.

But regardless, before Yugi Mutou, even the most excellent Dark Magician user didn't know there was such a card as Dark Magician Girl at all; similarly, after Yugi Mutou, no second person obtained "Dark Magician Girl."

In short, as long as you see Dark Magician Girl, you can default to it being "that one of Yugi's."

Therefore, at that festival, everyone present knew very well that the person who dueled with Serena and Tenjou Hikari must have only one possibility—Dark Magician Girl spirit herself!

Jūdai and Tenjou Hikari had contact with her after that, and Tenjou Hikari even got the ritual monster card of Chaos Soldier, the new body of Gaia, from her, so they are indeed acquaintances.

Dark Magician scans them, doesn't say much, turns his head to look at his disciple, and looks for a long time.

Then, he says nothing, turns around silently, and flies away leisurely.

Seeing this, Dark Magician Girl lets out a long sigh, then knocks on her head with an "ehehe": "Sorry sorry, this is a supervision magic for outsiders. According to the rules, it shouldn't be used on those who have obtained an invitation proof...

However, oh my, it seems I haven't maintained the magic circle for a long time."

She takes out a magic book, flips through it page by page, and it takes a long time to find it: "Aha—it's this one!"

She sticks out her tongue again: "Oh, it turns out it defaults to imprisoning humans. Sorry sorry, I'll let you out right away."

Tenjou Hikari and others fall into silence.

Tenjou Hikari still remembers that in the Warrior Realm, it was managed by Chaos Soldier himself, and there were also people who performed spatial movement instantly.

And here, it looks like... it seems Dark Magician handed this job to his disciple?

In short, as always, Dark Magician Girl messed up.

Tenjou Hikari and the others left the prison and followed Dark Magician Girl out. The outside of the prison was the same as Tenjou Hikari and Jūdai's impression: a group of spirits who were working hard to learn magic and dueling. They looked very hard-working and should be wanting to become "Dark Magician."

Just like the spirits in the Warrior Realm who longed to become the "strongest warrior."

Leaving the training ground, Tenjou Hikari came to a quite fantastic hall. Walking into this hall, it felt like being in the universe, with endless star rivers in all directions.

The place outside the 【Training Ground】!

Tenjou Hikari looks around curiously.

Dark Magician Girl flips through the book and leads the way for them. Finally, after walking through the "Universe Corridor," they came to a place similar to an altar.

Looking at it, Universe Queen, Ice Queen, Blizzard Princess, Gravekeeper's Chief Priest, all kinds of high-star magicians are available. Tenjou Hikari looked around and actually saw a perfect-bodied female magician using a long sword wearing a straw hat—

Holy crap, isn't this 【Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous】!?

Countless thoughts flashed through Tenjou Hikari's mind.

There is actually Ecclesia?

Clearly never heard of Swordsoul before!

So this world actually has "Branded"?

Then, does it mean that this world actually has "Link"?

No, that's not right either. Never heard of anything similar so far.

Tenjou Hikari thought about many things, but they all ended up with nothing.

In short, ask that Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous later, and everything will be solved.

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him instantly, and then a hug lifted Tenjou Hikari and the others up directly.

"Da—Professor Dadesi-sensei!" Jūdai was the first to react.

"Professor Dadesi-sensei!" "Teacher?!"

Professor Dadesi-sensei...

No, it looks like he has completely turned into "Quintet Magician" now, with a large number of magic circles floating around him.

However, his appearance hasn't changed, still squinting his eyes and hanging a smile.

Jūdai even has slight tears in the corners of his eyes. He is the one who is closest to Professor Dadesi among the three, and the one who likes eating the home-cooked food Professor Dadesi made the most, and also the one who was most sad after Professor Dadesi disappeared.

On the side, Aleister the Invoker had followed at some point. Seeing his old friend and bad friend showing his true inner feelings, he rarely didn't speak to stop Professor Dadesi's actions.

But soon...

"Oh my—" He loosened his hug, letting Tenjou Hikari and Manjoume, who were almost suffocated, breathe a sigh of relief. Then, they saw Professor Dadesi suddenly use both hands to grab Jūdai's face, frantically rubbing Jūdai's head, "Oh my oh my, Jūdai, have you gained weight, meow! Too slack, meow! Don't just leave everything to your companions, meow!"

"No, impossible, I, I exercise every day—" Jūdai was rubbed by Professor Dadesi until he couldn't speak clearly, retorting loudly.

Tenjou Hikari and Manjoume look at each other.

Oh...

Both saw their own answers from each other's eyes.

So Jūdai really gained weight?

In fact, they had felt it before. Jūdai had been troubled by Lightsworn and Supreme King, and had been in his room almost every day either dueling himself or lying down sleeping, and hadn't run wildly outside like before for a long time, so it seemed he had indeed gained some weight.

They lived with Jūdai almost day and night, so they couldn't really tell.

After being close to Jūdai for a while, Professor Dadesi looked at Tenjou Hikari: "Hikari, I've watched your duel at the Magician Academy, meow."

Tenjou Hikari is stunned.

Ah—

No wonder I always felt someone was secretly watching me at that time. It turns out they were watching me at that time.

Oh—

In other words?

Actually, the spirits around should have watched a few of my duels?

"Snap—"

A hand suddenly patted on Tenjou Hikari's head. Professor Dadesi rubbed Tenjou Hikari's head hard and said: "Oh my, you kid, you think too much every day. It's time to let yourself relax a little, meow."

Tenjou Hikari scratches the back of his head: "Er, hmm."

Professor Dadesi looks at Manjoume again. Manjoume doesn't know why, but cold sweat oozes from his forehead, and he quickly stands straight.

Professor Dadesi examines for a while, then suddenly says happily: "I didn't expect that among you three, you are the most perfect!"

Me?

Me—

Manjoume suddenly has a proud emotion, and his body becomes straighter.

Ah.

Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed so.

Although this guy Jūdai has become much stronger, the contradictions in his heart are getting more and more. If it weren't for the team duel with Tenjou, he might have a lot of troubles now; that kid Tenjou is as strong as ever, but he always hides a lot of things in his heart. If it weren't for his own analysis, he would probably be thinking about how to walk every day and every step every moment, right?

And himself?

Wow.

Not only did he get the master's approval, but he also became the person in charge of the group.

Then indeed, he is the most perfect one among the three!

Wahahaha...

Snap—

The hand presses on again: "Don't be too complacent, Manjoume, meow."

"Ah, yes!"

Quintet watches the students and nods continuously.

The three sigh that Professor Dadesi-sensei is worthy of being a teacher, and can see the status quo at a glance.

Aleister on the side rolls his eyes.

Isn't it because of his "Magician Academy" 【eyes and ears】 who helped Professor Dadesi investigate? Otherwise, how could Professor Dadesi know so clearly?

After simply reminiscing and showing the teacher's ability, Professor Dadesi pushes Aleister gently with his elbow. Aleister sighs, somewhat speechless.

He takes out a summoning book, and then, several cards fall from the sky.

Two cards fly in front of Tenjou Hikari.

One is Aleister the Invoker, and one is...

Invoked Mechaba!

Tenjou Hikari's eyes shine.

Light... Mechaba!!!

On the other side, Jūdai and Manjoume also got "gifts," looking at the cards in their hands with admiration.

Jūdai got a Trap Card, "Wisdom of the Invoked," and Manjoume got a coordinate marked "Dragon."

"That is a dragon's nest, a place very suitable for dragon card users to go." Professor Dadesi raises his finger and introduces.

The two look at the things in their hands in surprise, making a "Wow..." sound.

Obviously, these two cards make them quite excited.

Professor Dadesi looks at them with a smile, then pushes his glasses gently, slowly opens his eyes, and reveals his hidden, scarlet eyeball.

"Then... after a long-lost reunion, it's about time to get to the point."

The three swallow hard.

"Let me see how you two have grown."

"Eh? Two?" Jūdai stretches out two fingers, compares them, and holds them in front of the three, "But we have three people."

"Yes—" Professor Dadesi draws in the air, green fluorescent light stays in the air, and soon, he draws green Q-version Jūdai and Q-version Manjoume heads, then rushes, "Hikari, you don't need to participate, meow!"

"Eh!"

He then stares at the other two with red eyes: "If you lose, you two don't even think about returning to the human world. You will have hell training here until I am satisfied before you can leave, do you know?"

"Eh!??"
