Chapter 7

In the evening, Tenjou Hikari returned to his dormitory and looked at the card carefully.

Ancient Gear Golem and Ancient Gear Beast had completely turned into one card, turning into a card named "Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem"!

Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem, Level 10, Earth attribute, Machine-type. The Fusion materials are one Ancient Gear Golem and any two Ancient Gear monsters. It possesses the general "the opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap cards when attacking" ability of Ancient Gear, as well as the "inflict piercing damage when attacking a Defense Position monster" ability inherited from Ancient Gear Golem.

And besides that, it also possesses the ability to ignore conditions to Special Summon an "Ancient Gear Golem" from the Graveyard after being destroyed.

As Professor Crowler's ace card in the original work, the rarity of this card naturally far exceeds Ancient Gear Golem—after all, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! worldview, there are many people who own three Ancient Gear Golems, while Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem seems to have only been used by Professor Crowler.

Its own strength is naturally above Ancient Gear Golem. In any case, isn't the Ancient Gear deck played to fuse an Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem, Megaton Golem, or Chaos Giant?

Yes, Ancient Gear Golem is just their material...

But the problem is—

"Where is my Golem!!"

Tenjou Hikari scratched his hair with a bit of speechlessness.

Owning a more advanced and rarer card is definitely a profitable deal in this world. Any duelist wouldn't refuse such a deal.

Any Fusion Club student would definitely agree to this transaction excitedly.

But for Tenjou Hikari, this was absolutely unacceptable—

He finally got an Ancient Gear Golem and was thinking about using it later, cooperating with the current Fusion to develop other tactics!

And it got fused?!

There is no Ancient Gear Golem in the deck, how is he supposed to fuse Ultimate Golem?!

Wait—

He suddenly realized another problem, hurriedly took out the deck, and started looking at it one by one. After confirming the entire deck for a while, the expression on his face was as wonderful as it could be.

Damn it.

"I was wondering why I hadn't drawn any monsters for several days, and suddenly drew an Ancient Gear Beast today... so that's why..."

To increase the fault tolerance of the deck, Tenjou Hikari put quite a few monster cards into the deck, as well as some Hero monsters, used to assist Fusion.

But now looking through the deck carefully, he found that there were no monsters left!

They all turned into Fusion!

"I was wondering why those related Fusion cards for Flame Swordsman were drawn together today, so that's why..."

It was the lower-level monsters being fused into Fusion by Super Polymerization! So the cards in the Flame Sword series increased, increasing the draw rate!

Tenjou Hikari realized this after the fact.

There's no way around this. How could he know that the cards in his deck would change while he was playing!

"I was wondering, I duel every day, clearly feeling power surging into my body, why did I only change out one Flame Swordsman? So the problem was here!" Tenjou Hikari scratched his head.

It seems that Super Polymerization doesn't distinguish between "useful" and "cards that need to be kept," and will slowly fuse the cards in his deck into Fusion.

"No, that's not it." Tenjou Hikari took out Cannon Soldier and High-Tech Wolf again, "Looking at it this way, Fusion materials shouldn't be fused away? The reason Golem fused with Beast is just because his Extra Deck didn't have Ultimate Golem, so they became the base?"

If that's the case, it's not too bad.

He hung up a smile again.

By figuring out the card-printing logic of Super Polymerization, he can build a deck more conveniently and easily in the future. One day, he can build a smooth and powerful deck without having to be like now, where there are always two or three cards that can't be used at the start of every game.

"It's a pity that Liu was taken away. Maybe there won't be a chance to play cards with him in the future. Now there's one less tool man to brush energy."

"Sigh, what a pity, what a pity."

However, he saw that there were still many Blue Academy students in the Fusion Club who were dissatisfied with him, and there would be plenty of people to brush in the future.

Just as he was thinking about the Fusion Club.

On the top floor of the Fusion Club, in the Dimension Research Room, a purple light flashed violently. Three students and two teachers, all wearing purple uniforms, stood quietly in front of a huge machine.

It was a huge purple ring, the ring was constantly rotating on the machine, and in the center of the ring was a black and white chaos, twisting crazily.

After a while, a man wearing a huge cloak walked out of it.

"Professor!" Everyone started to welcome him.

That was a bald, serious-looking man. His uniform was more exquisite than others. In addition to the regular uniform components, there were wide collars and heavy gold epaulets and chest badges. He didn't look like a teacher, but rather like a "soldier"!

He is the leader of the "Fusion Supremacy" faction of Duel Academy, a professor of Duel Academy—Leo Akaba!

"Professor Akaba, how was the joint exploration with Kaiba Corp this time?" a Fusion Club teacher asked curiously.

Leo Akaba shook his head: "Unfortunately, it's not the [Underworld] that President Kaiba is looking for. However, we were lucky; it was a broken world with spirits."

Dimension exploration is a large-scale business activity led by Kaiba Corp, with participation from all over the world. It is said that President Kaiba has been looking for a nameless Pharaoh to complete a duel from many years ago. For this reason, he even spent all his energy exploring parallel worlds and exploring the universe, and even his deck hasn't been updated for many years.

Although Seto Kaiba is brilliant and can be called a peerless genius, whether it is machinery or parallel worlds, he can study the way alone. But he is only one person after all. Searching for that unique "Underworld" in endless dimensions is really a bit laborious. In order to search faster, he also established dimensional gates in many departments and partners under his company to search for other dimensions together.

Originally, every branch of Duel Academy had its own dimensional gate, and every once in a while, students would interact with the spirits or duelists in these broken, small dimensions.

Of course, it is limited to those broken small dimensions. Those huge dimensions, and even dimensions where humans exist, are not something their Duel Academy can act alone to contact.

At the same time, it is precisely because of this reason that the "Fusion Club" gradually emerged and became an "emerging force" of Duel Academy—because Leo Akaba relied on his scientific research talent to improve the dimensional gate and was appreciated by Seto Kaiba, possessing a dimensional gate belonging to his own department!

This is also why there are so many Ancient Gear monster cards in the Fusion Club; they were all obtained from a broken mechanical world!

"Has anything happened in the Fusion Club during this time?"

"Yes, yes! Professor!" a teacher walked up enthusiastically, "Recently, a particularly good seedling has appeared. He is simply too talented. His entire deck is all Fusion!"

May I ask, for the Fusion Club, what is the greatest "loyalty"?

The answer is, of course, a "Fusion" deck!

"All Fusion?" Even Leo Akaba couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

What is this? Can this kind of deck win?

The three student representatives had different expressions. The Red Academy showed a gloating smile, the Yellow Academy showed a proud expression, and the Blue Academy representative looked gloomy.

The two teachers happily told Leo Akaba the whole process, from the entrance test to the duel with Liu today. Tenjou Hikari's understanding of Fusion and his resonance with monster cards made them quite like him.

They are ordinary teachers of the academy, without so-called factions. Their department has an extra excellent student, and they can also benefit from the teacher rating in the future, so they are naturally happy.

"You discovered a new dimension, do you want to call him..."

"No—"

"Eh?" Everyone was stunned by Leo Akaba's sound, waiting for his next sentence.

"Call that Liu over."

"Professor, Professor Crowler has already taught him a lesson, no need to punish him again..." the Blue Academy representative hurriedly came out.

Leo Akaba glanced at him, shook his head, and said: "I mean, let him come, go to this new fragment dimension."

Ah!?

Let alone other students and teachers, even the Blue Academy representative was extremely confused.

What does this mean?!

Leo Akaba didn't explain to any of them, flicked his cloak, and turned to leave.

It's a simple truth.

As a "purple" department, the Fusion Club even has its own dimensional gate. It has every opportunity to completely break away from the three academies. Why has there still been color discrimination for a long time?

Why has Leo Akaba, as the person in charge of the department, never asked?

Because, this is... tacit approval!
