Chapter 94: Elemental Hero Prism Man

After finishing his duel with Ryou Leiban, Tenjo Hikari didn't encounter any other strong students today.

That was only natural.

After all, cards used by the Duel King were undeniably tempting to ordinary students—any powerful card could boost the overall strength of their deck.

But conversely, those who entered such tournaments were either like Tenjo Hikari, seeking fusion materials, or like Ryou Leiban, aspiring to "simulate the Duel King," or else had decks with insufficient average power.

Students like Marufuji Ryo or Judai, who specialized in specific deck archetypes, wouldn't participate in such duels.

Tenjo Hikari did meet several students from the Fusion Club; some chose to surrender upon seeing him, while others chatted with him and sparred briefly.

In short, they were the extremists and the moderates.

Due to Tenjo Hikari's appearance, second-year students from the Fusion Club began attempting to "attack" the second-year extremists, though not openly—yet at least they had started fighting for their own rights and status.

To be honest, Tenjo Hikari still felt they'd been PUA'd too harshly; most first-year Fusion Club students with even slightly sane minds had already joined his Fusion Department.

They all had ancient mechanical decks and could learn Fusion Summoning. Though Tenjo Hikari's Fusion Department wasn't as impressive as the Fusion Club's building, it required no group training and didn't bully anyone—everyone simply played cards, relaxed daily, and occasionally even had Tenjo Koushi serenading them to liven the mood. How could that possibly be worse than the lifeless Fusion Club?

Tenjo Hikari tried to persuade them, but they instead proudly called themselves "rebels" and "reformers" in a very otaku way.

It left Tenjo Hikari speechless.

Kurosaki Hayato constantly rebels, defies, and revolutionizes because his world was truly invaded and half-destroyed by the Fusion Army, and countless friends and relatives were turned into cards—he genuinely wants reform from the bottom of his heart.

You just leave the Fusion Club and join my Fusion Department. If the Fusion Club is empty, isn't that the end of it?

But Tenjo Hikari couldn't say they were just fooling around; at least they had the courage to resist the "privileged" within the Fusion Club at this moment.

The first day of the new semester ended smoothly. Tenjo Hikari took time to recheck his deck and found an extra card among his spares—surprising him.

"A Level 4 monster?" Nearby, Tierra floated out, curiously examining the card. "Didn't all the power from your duels go into your Fusion Monsters before?"

Tenjo Hikari had always concealed Super Fusion, unwilling to let anyone know of its existence. Though Tierra didn't know exactly which card he was hiding, she could roughly estimate its power. During the month-long holiday, she had watched his duels to learn about the "rituals" of the new era and had also listened as Tenjo Hikari explained some things.

Tenjo Hikari had no objection to sharing this level of information with her—after all, understanding these things would help her cooperate with him better.

"Elemental Hero Prism Man?" Tierra crossed her arms, studying the card thoughtfully. "So it's a universal fusion card? That explains it…"

Elemental Hero Prism Man is a Level 4 Light Warrior-type Elemental Hero monster, but the key isn't that—it's his "powerful" effect.

Once per turn, you can show your opponent 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, then send 1 Fusion Material monster with the same name as that monster from your deck to the graveyard to activate this effect. Until the end of this turn, this card becomes treated as the same name as the monster sent to the graveyard for this effect.

Before Tenjo Hikari's transmigration, this card still had its moment to shine—send Visas to the graveyard, then become Visas, and fake a one-card win to end the world.

This card held great significance for Tenjo Hikari, because before this, he had always wanted to obtain monsters like the Swamp Deity King, Swamp Beast King, or Fusion Seal Creatures—cards that could serve as universal materials. Yet after his deck changed so many times, even after he had fused away Wan Rong Alchemist and all the ordinary cards he'd bought, he still hadn't obtained even a trace of such cards.

Until today.

It seemed that dueling against 【himself】 might yield cards of this type.

Tenjo Hikari pondered.

But the difficulty was considerable.

On one hand, judging from the card's completion level, he could tell that obtaining this card would require playing several days' worth of duels against Ryou Leiban.

Though Ryou Leiban's skill was high, in terms of scale, he certainly wasn't as strong as Tenjo Hikari's friends. Spending a "first duel" opportunity daily to duel Ryou Leiban felt slightly wasteful.

On the other hand, after several layers of deck restructuring, his deck had become significantly smoother. Combined with his own "Spirit Adaptability," which had barely reached Level 6, the chance of drawing dead cards had grown increasingly low—he could now almost always draw exactly what he needed in duels against ordinary people. Cards like "Prism Man," while still useful, were no longer essential.

Moreover, Ryou Leiban didn't imitate just one person every day.

Also, his imitation of himself wasn't accurate enough—if he were more precise, he might have produced cards like Fusion Seal Creatures or Swamp Deity King for himself.

Still, regardless of everything, this was a very good option.

In the following days, Tenjo Hikari attended classes and duels as usual, gradually encountering some strong opponents—but without Judai and the others interfering, he ultimately secured the card easily.

In fact, the strongest opponent seemed to have been Ryou Leiban, the very first one he'd faced—something that surprised him.

At the award ceremony, amid cheers from his classmates, Tenjo Hikari received the card described by Principal Principal Jiaodao as "the legendary card used by the Duel King."

Destroyer Sword Knight—the same as Dragon-Slaying Sword Knight, Basta Blader—once used by Motoyugi Yugi to slay gods, a legendary card.

Compared to Dark Magician, its fame was lesser and its rarity far lower; it held little presence in Motoyugi Yugi's deck. Yet it was perfectly suited for students and didn't reach a power level that would attract dangerous envy.

This was truly a good card.

On one hand, it could fuse with "Dark Magician" to form Super Magician Sword Knight; on the other, it had a Fusion form, "Dragon Destroyer Sword Knight," which could force all Dragon-type monsters on the opponent's field into Defense Position and prevent them from activating effects—quite impressive.

Whatever form it took, Tenjo Hikari could accept it.

"Awesome! A-Guang!" shouted Judai excitedly.

"Brother Guang is so strong!" said ordinary students from the Fusion Department.

Watching Tenjo Hikari receive applause under the spotlight, a group of students in purple uniforms wearing masks whispered among themselves.

They sneered at Tenjo Hikari.

Tenjo Hikari sharply sensed malice and turned toward them—but found these students didn't even flinch, continuing to stare at him with clear hostility.

Fusion Army?

He had no recollection of these people.

"Hey, Tenjo Hikari, these humans seem kind of interesting?" Tierra suddenly appeared beside Tenjo Hikari, watching them with interest. "I sense a strong dark energy from them—even stronger than yours when you don't use any cards."

What!?

Those low-level grunts?

Tenjo Hikari looked at them in surprise.

Interesting. It seems they're targeting me?

On the final half-day of the double monthly ticket period, I'm still 800 short of my goal—slightly embarrassing. I guess I was a bit overconfident; I clearly didn't understand the web novel platform well enough.

Still, I really want to complete this event successfully, so I agonized for a while. Finally, I thought: if my brothers can give me 600 tickets today, I'll spend my own money to send a 200-ticket red envelope tonight, then pretend I've completed the event and add three extra chapters.

That's the plan—today I'll push hard for extra chapters, please give me monthly tickets!
