Chapter 56

After the school festival ended, the school entered a short holiday period. Most students would choose to leave school and go home at this time, returning to their long-lost warm homes.

Of course, there are still some students who choose to stay at school.

Some students just don't want to go home, and some like Fubuki Tenjoin, who disappeared for a year and is doing archiving procedures, are about to restart their second year.

Besides that, students like Tenjou Hikari and Judai Yuki who hold Shadow Rider keys shouldn't leave school easily at this time, no matter what. This is both protection for the school and protection for themselves—in case they leave school and are attacked by the Shadow Riders, it would be terrible.

However, this kind of thing doesn't matter to key holders.

No matter who they are, they are all people with high card addiction. Staying at school allows them to play cards happily in the club venue of Tenjou Hikari's Fusion Department without caring about outsiders' eyes, which is of course happy.

The only thing Judai regrets is that because Ryo Marufuji is preparing to be a professional player next year, his focus has to shift every day.

In addition, Tenjou Hikari doesn't appear every day. He often hides in the Minister's room of the Fusion Department alone, fumbling with messy things, and occasionally there will be some explosions, which makes people confused.

Just on this day, another explosion appeared in Tenjou Hikari's room. Tenjou Hikari turned on the powerful ventilation function of the equipment in the room, cleaned up the smoke in the room, and carefully pinched a card out of a large boiler with long pliers.

After getting the Golden Lord's gems, Tenjou Hikari replaced his equipment. Basically, they were all chosen by Metalfoes Fusion for him. Don't look at it as a small boiler, but it is actually far more expensive than gems.

But Tenjou Hikari doesn't care about this kind of expenditure. Money is for spending when it comes. If the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come.

"Success?"

"Such a familiar feeling."

Tenjou Hikari heard the spirit's voice. He dissipated the heat on the card and let the spirits see it.

"Gem-Knight?"

"It really is your colleague."

"Aquamarine? So that's it, these days, Tenjou-kakka has been refining Gem-Knight cards."

Tenjou Hikari nodded.

Before classifying, Tenjou Hikari found quite a few broken sapphires. After comparing the prices, he felt that these should be the cheaper batch of gems, because the quality and quantity were quite poor, so he used them as materials for refining practice.

Of course, his main attempt was the synthesis of "Predaplant."

However, after trying Gem-Knight Aquamarine two or three times, Tenjou Hikari discovered new things—refining Gem-Knight cards also seems to be able to fill energy for "Construct."

This made Tenjou Hikari quite excited.

Because El Shaddoll Construct had become more and more obvious in the past half year. With the "help" of Darkness, and after many duels with Haruto Kunigawa in Domino City, the card was actually very complete, but Tenjou Hikari had never found other "DT deck" duelists to duel with him, so it was left idle again.

Until Tenjou Hikari discovered that the attempt to synthesize Aquamarine would also charge Construct, he put down the refining of Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio and focused on trying Aquamarine.

Perhaps because it is a Normal Monster, even if Tenjou Hikari only has Level 5 spirit adaptability, it seems that he can try to refine it. It is also possible because of the existence of Gem-Knight Garnet, so he can reduce Tenjou Hikari's requirements. Regardless, Tenjou Hikari can indeed try to refine Aquamarine.

After trying for a period of time, today, Tenjou Hikari finally succeeded in making the Gem-Knight Aquamarine card, which he carefully put away.

His Gem-Knight Fusion Monsters only have the "Prism" and "Lapis Lazuli" that come with Captain Garnet. Currently, there are no Aquamarine-series Fusion Monsters, so he can only wait for "Super Polymerization" to send them to him.

But on the other side...

Tenjou Hikari searched for the card, took out the green-haired magician who was drawing holding a magic staff and commanding the Phantom Dragon, looked at the clear texture and the broken patterns shining on the card, and couldn't help but be a bit excited.

He put the card into the Duel Disk again, the Duel Disk responded with an "error," but he was not disappointed because of this.

This was just him determining whether Construct was completed or not.

Actually, a few days ago, Tenjou Hikari couldn't determine the completion of Construct with the naked eye, because in his eyes, this Construct was simply a real card. From the naked eye, he couldn't distinguish what the card was still missing, so he could only determine through the Duel Disk whether Construct was completed or still lacked some.

Looking at it now, it seems still lacking?

But it's not a big problem—he can also try to make "Gem-Knight Garnet." Although the cost is more expensive than Aquamarine, it's not like every time he directly invests a gem, but grinds powder to try slowly, so he doesn't feel too distressed.

Gem-Knight hesitated for a while, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.

He always felt that this card gave him a fear from the "source."

This is not his own problem, but a deeper, more distant fear that traces back to the "beginning"!

"Master! It's time, it's time to duel!" Outside the door, Serena's voice sounded, accompanied by powerful knocking.

Both are girls, Asuka still has many other hobbies, and usually won't stay in the Fusion Department all day, but Serena is different.

She really just wants to play cards.

Every day at this time, Tenjou Hikari would find time to play cards with Serena—not a formal duel, but a simple and pure card exchange sitting at the table.

Simply put, it is to take some miscellaneous cards, pile them together, mix them up, divide 40 cards each, and then duel randomly.

It's a bit like the "ygocore" chronicle mode. In short, it's talking about dueling ideas with Serena. Friends like Judai and Misawa would also come to join the fun at this time, discussing what to do when. There are also some ordinary members of the Fusion Department who haven't gone home, who will also watch and listen at this time.

Tenjou Hikari, this "master," although Serena called it forcibly, he didn't refuse. After all, Serena really wants to learn "Fusion" from Tenjou Hikari, so he is still quite willing to teach.

After all, as an activity club, the main purpose of the Fusion Department is to learn Fusion and play Fusion, not to toss around like that egghead. It's also good to have such activities where everyone plays and communicates together, and everyone can spend the school holiday happily.

And it is also a reasonable reason to keep Serena.

"Serena, that is an Extra Monster sent to the Graveyard by card effect, it hasn't experienced a regular Fusion, so you can't use Monster Reborn." Tenjou Hikari pointed to Serena's Graveyard.

"Yes, Serena, summoning restrictions." Misawa added on the side.

"Ah, that's right—" She was caught by Tenjou Hikari for her bluff, blushed slightly, and withdrew her previous action.

Tenjou Hikari also saw it, she really wants to learn his way of changing patterns to get Fusion Monsters directly from the Extra Deck, but the one-track-minded her always subconsciously ignores some things.

Her eyes wandered slightly, and she accidentally glanced at the card box on Tenjou Hikari's waist, and was surprised to find that the card box seemed to emit a strange purple light. When she blinked and went to confirm again, that strange purple light seemed to have never existed.

Strange?

Teacher Ayukawa had done a full-body check for her before. Her body is healthy overall, only her spirit adaptability is at a 6-star level far exceeding her peers, but Teacher Ayukawa suspected that she was "physically modified" by Professor Akaba, saying that she was not allowed to use the Duel Disk for a short time, so she couldn't determine what she just saw.

Always feel...

Very dangerous!
