Chapter 84: The Higher Tier of Alchemy

"Hikari, be careful—his duel exceeds our imagination!" Seeing Tenjo Hikari immediately begin his duel against Professor Dadesi, Wan Teng Liang couldn't help but warn him.

Tenjo Hikari nodded.

On the other side, Shi Dai slowly awoke, hugging his arms and leaning weakly against the planet. "Aguang… cough… sorry."

"Shi Dai, rest first—don't push yourself too hard!" Tenjo Hikari looked at Professor Dadesi, his mind filled with doubt.

That doesn't make sense?

How could Shi Dai lose?

Did I set too many flags for him?

"What's wrong? Aren't you starting your turn?" Professor Dadesi appeared utterly calm.

Tenjo Hikari frowned, glanced at his hand, then drew a card from his deck.

"My turn, draw!" Tenjo Hikari immediately revealed the card in his hand. "Activate Continuous Magic—Super Future Fusion. Reveal Maze's Magic Battle Car. I send Cannon Soldier from my deck to the graveyard. Then, activate Continuous Magic—Realm of the Flame Sword."

"I send Ancient Mechanical Knight from my hand to the graveyard, activating Realm of the Flame Sword's effect: Special Summon—Flame Swordsman!"

Flame Swordsman, Level 5, Fire Attribute, Warrior Type, ATK 1800.

"Then, set one card face-down. End my turn!"

After observing Tenjo Hikari's move, Professor Dadesi chuckled, pinched his own cheek, and crushed a fragment of skin. "Student Hikari, you don't seem surprised by my appearance at all?"

"... Hmm." Tenjo Hikari couldn't admit he was a transmigrator, so he simply nodded. "I've sensed it for a long time—your Alchemy is genuine, yet your usual demeanor is so weak."

"So you confirmed it this way?" Professor Dadesi smiled faintly. "You're truly the school's most gifted Alchemist."

"Master Professor Dadesi, why?!" Tenjoin Fubuki rushed to the isolation planet's barrier, shouting. "Why did you become the Seven Stars? Why are you hurting Judai?!"

"Heh…" Professor Dadesi chuckled softly, opening his eyes to reveal glowing crimson irises. "Not 'became.' From the beginning, the Seven Stars were built by me."

"Ah!" Chui Xue suddenly realized. "I remember now—it was you, Master Professor Dadesi, who made me lose my memory—"

"Exactly." Professor Dadesi smirked, drawing a card from his deck. "Then, my turn, draw."

He glanced at his hand, smiled, and showed Tenjo Hikari his cards. "Let me show you, Student Hikari, the secret of Alchemy's higher tier!"

"Normal Summon—Summoner Alister!"

No way!

Tenjo Hikari widened his eyes.

No wonder Shi Dai lost!

Can this even be called Alchemy?!

Amidst a gale, a mage clad in a massive robe, holding a staff and a spellbook, appeared on the field.

Summoner Alister, Level 4, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster Type, ATK 1000.

After appearing, Professor Dadesi coughed. Alister turned to look at him; they exchanged a brief nod.

"Only 1000 ATK?" San Ze Sanze Dadi exhaled, frowning at the monster. "Is this really Master Professor Dadesi's card? I've never heard of it."

"Watch out, Hikari! That monster is terrifying!" Several imprisoned students shouted urgently.

Sweat beaded on Tenjo Hikari's forehead.

Did he not know how powerful this thing was?

"Summoner Alister's effect: When this card is Normal or Flip Summoned, add one 【Summoning Magic】 from your deck to your hand."

"It's coming, human," Xiao Mi's figure materialized beside Tenjo Hikari, watching with interest.

"Activate Magic Card—Summoning Magic!" Professor Dadesi revealed the card in his hand. "This is a Fusion Magic. You can send monsters from your hand to the graveyard for Fusion."

"And when I perform a Fusion Summon for a 【Summoner】 monster, I can banish monsters from my field, my graveyard, and my opponent's graveyard as Fusion Materials!"

"I banish Alister on my field and Ancient Mechanical Knight from your graveyard."

"Fusion Summon!"

"Witness it—the Earth Attribute Summoner, Summoner Mawarigna!"

A giant, bound by Summoning Magic, erupted from the ground, staring directly at Tenjo Hikari.

Summoner Mawarigna, Level 8, Earth Attribute, Rock Type, ATK 3000, DEF 3300.

"Wh-what?!" San Ze Sanze Dadi gaped in shock.

"Wait—I activate my face-down card: Flame Sword Dance!" Tenjo Hikari instantly flipped it open. "Trap Card—Flame Sword Dance!"

"Flame Sword Dance?" Professor Dadesi chuckled. "You haven't used these cards in a long time."

"You should know its effect, Master."

"Ah, Special Summon Flame Swordsman and cover my monster? Fine. Go ahead."

The imprisoned students and teachers watching could sense Professor Dadesi's absolute confidence, his invincible mindset, just from his tone.

Tenjo Hikari gritted his teeth. "I Special Summon—Black Flame Knight—and cover your Earth Attribute Summoner."

Black Flame Knight, Level 6, Dark Attribute, Warrior Type, ATK 2200.

Professor Dadesi casually covered his monster.

"Good defense. But my turn continues: activate the effect of Summoning Magic in my graveyard—return it to the deck, and add one banished Summoner Alister to my hand."

"What?! How can a monster be this strong?! Doesn't this mean he can summon a Summoner every turn?!" San Ze Sanze Dadi shouted.

"Alister is a monster powerful enough to alter Fusion," Professor Dadesi glanced beside him. An Alister spirit emerged, glanced at Tenjo Hikari, then whispered to Professor Dadesi.

"Professor Dadesi, as agreed, this is my final time helping you."

"Ah, it's fine," Professor Dadesi nodded casually, murmuring. "Besides, I'm going to die soon."

Then, louder, he declared: "I end my turn."

"H-He just ended his turn?!" Wan Teng Xiang hugged his knees, trembling. "So confident… so terrifying…"

"But that monster truly justifies his confidence!" Ming Ri Xiang's face was filled with dread.

"DEF 3300—and it emerged from a card that consumed Hikari's monster…" Kai Sa's expression was grave. "This blocks Fusion of Super Fusion Beast and Ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant!"

Tenjo Hikari took a deep breath.

In the original story, Professor Dadesi was already a formidable enemy—but he never imagined this world's Professor Dadesi would abandon Alchemy cards entirely and switch straight to Summoners!

He must find a way to limit Alister!

Or…

His mind raced through possibilities—then suddenly lit up with a viable tactic!
