Chapter 74: Awkward Moment (Request Monthly Tickets!)

The students' laughter was deafening.

Yes.

What's the logic behind it?

What could possibly draw someone away from Tenjo Hikari—a pure Fusion Duelist, a first-year who defeated the Head of the Fusion Department, even becoming the representative of the younger generation and shouting "Fusion is the noblest summoning method" during duels against other interdimensional humans—toward Ma Chima Chima Lingwang?

To normal students, this is utterly obvious!

If you truly seek Fusion Summoning, if you truly wish to be a Fusion-specialized Duelist, then Tenjo Hikari's Fusion Department is the real Fusion Department.

The Combined Department?... Let them lock themselves in and play their own games!

Although Serena is Ma Chima Chima Lingwang's daughter, it seems she completely rejects that nonsense!

"That won't do, Miss Serena!" a student hurriedly said, "You're Professor Ma's daughter—you should join our Combined Department! We have many outstanding teachers, unlike that petty Fusion Department!"

"Yes, and besides, the Fusion Department is our Combined Department's greatest enemy! If you go there, aren't you aiding the enemy? At least consider Professor Ma's feelings!"

"I just want to learn stronger Dueling techniques!" Serena didn't overthink it, "I've seen his Duel—he's amazing!"

She always speaks her mind directly.

Do we not know whether he's strong or not?

A group of Fusion Army students exchanged glances, all somewhat exasperated.

"Hey!" Wan Wan Zhangmu, however, keenly caught a detail during the argument, "What did you just say? Let the teachers from the Combined Department teach this child? She's still in junior high, isn't she?"

According to regulations, she shouldn't be allowed to stay on the island—are you planning to imprison her here for closed-door education?

No, surely not… that couldn't possibly be true… Professor Ma wouldn't treat his own daughter like that…"

As Wan Wan Zhangmu spoke, he realized a possibility, but his voice grew quieter with each word, unable to believe his own conclusion.

At his reminder, Tenjo Hikari suddenly remembered: in the original story, Serena was indeed "taken in" by Ma Chima Chima Lingwang for three years, during which almost no one was allowed to interact with her!

It wasn't even "taking in"—it was outright imprisonment!

He imprisoned his own daughter for three full years!

Of course, in the original world, Ma Chima Chima Lingwang never regarded Serena as his daughter. But in this world, Ma Chima Chima Lingwang actually told others she was his daughter… which makes it even more abstract!

Hearing Wan Wan Zhangmu's speculation, the group of friends' gazes gradually sharpened.

Although Wan Wan Zhangmu is a bit otaku and occasionally acts foolish, he possesses an extraordinary talent—he's exceptionally observant, and once he analyzes, he almost always hits the mark. He could be a genius detective even without being a Duelist. His conclusions are far too plausible.

"Miss Serena, think again—Tenjo Hikari…"

"What's there to think about?" Serena rubbed her arm and said directly, "Just settle it with a Duel."

"Duelists decide things through Duels—that's common sense!"

Common sense…

The Fusion Army students looked at each other.

"You go?" "No no no, you go—you go!" "Aww, I'm a second-year—how can I bully a first-year?"

At this point, the Fusion Army students dropped all pretense, shoving and dodging each other—no one wanted to step forward and Duel Tenjo Hikari.

They were already trembling before the fight even began. Without needing to determine a winner, many students in the audience shook their heads.

Is this it?

Just a moment ago they were so arrogant—why do they cower at the sight of Ah Guang?

Clearly, these insane, impure fools need to be properly disciplined by Tenjo Hikari!

Suddenly, the leader of the Combined Department students spotted the Black Magician Girl across the way, curiously watching the commotion, and had a flash of inspiration—he pointed at her and said, "Let her be the one, Tenjo Hikari!

She just defeated Miss Serena—if you can defeat her, we'll step aside quietly!"

The Black Magician Girl instantly pointed at herself in surprise: "Me?"

"Yes! Yes!" Xiang grabbed a megaphone and shouted loudly, "Everyone wants to see the Black Magician Girl Duel again!"

"Yes!!"

"Exactly! Exactly!"

The students grew enthusiastic.

Observing the students' excitement, the Black Magician Girl couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright then, I'll join in~"

Tenjo Hikari was slightly confused by the logic here.

In truth, the Combined Department students had simply picked a random Duelist to shift blame—but surprisingly, Serena nodded as if she agreed: "Ah, I see. If I defeat the Duelist who defeated me, then by the hierarchy of Duelist victories, he must be superior to me—so it's only natural for me to become his disciple?

Hmm, that makes sense!"

"Hikari!" At that moment, Kai Sa suddenly appeared beside Tenjo Hikari and whispered, "Be careful—that Black Magician Girl is definitely a 【Genuine Article】."

"Yes, Ah Guang!" Shi Dai also grew serious, "If she's a Seven-Star, you must be prepared!"

Ming Ri Xiang nodded slowly and added, "If we let the students face a Dark Duel directly, they might all become hostages!"

They're overthinking this.

Who's the villain? The Black Magician and her apprentice could never be villains.

Still, since they're so concerned, Tenjo Hikari simply shouted: "Are you a Seven-Star?!"

"Seven-Star? I'm a Six-Star~ My master is the Seven-Star."

"Of course!" Shi Dai immediately grabbed his Duel Disk and prepared to rush forward.

"No no no," Tenjo Hikari quickly stopped him, then asked the Black Magician Girl, "You mean the Star-level Star?"

"What else?" She tilted her head, blinking in confusion.

"So cute!!" Xiang and the students cheered.

"If that's the case, it's actually quite good," San Ze Sanze Dadi nodded repeatedly, looking absurd in his tiger costume, "As the saying goes, one mountain cannot hold two tigers. Although Ah Guang has claimed the name 'Fusion Department,' he still has one rival.

If you bring the Combined Department's responsible teacher's daughter into your club, even if the child is later sent back to junior high, the rumor will severely damage the Combined Department."

Tenjo Hikari fully agreed with this.

Since joining the Fusion Department, Tenjo Hikari has held ill will toward the Fusion Army.

Now that another chance to suppress them has arisen, he won't miss it.

Wan Teng Xiang swiftly cleared a Duel arena, and the Black Magician Girl stepped back onto the Duel platform.

"Go, Master!" Serena shouted from the side, "Teach me how to properly use Fusion!"

How did she become his master already?

Tenjo Hikari, puzzled, inserted his deck into the Duel Disk.

"Duel!"

Tenjo Hikari LP: 4000

On the other side, the Black Magician Girl carefully scrutinized Tenjo Hikari from head to toe, then glanced at Shi Dai a few times, before finally tapping her forehead with her right hand: "Oh! It's you."

"!?" Tenjo Hikari froze, "You know me?"

"Yes, earlier—Chaos… my friend told me about you." The Black Magician Girl stretched her limbs for the first time, doing small punching motions in place as if warming up, "Oh dear, I'd almost forgotten about this…"

She said "Chaos"… she must mean Chaos Warrior?

Tenjo Hikari was speechless.

If she's the Black Magician Girl, then the one who sent her must be Chaos Warrior himself from the "Realm of Warriors," right?

It seems different from the original story—she apparently came to the human world because Chaos Warrior asked her to?

But she abandoned her mission and happily played cards with her fans.

"In that case, this is a perfect opportunity," the Black Magician Girl winked her right eye, golden stars flashing in her gaze, causing the students to gasp, "If you win, I'll give you an incredibly powerful card!"

"Of course… I'll take this seriously too!"
