#416 - Everyone has his own unique skills (please give me a monthly ticket)

GX Tournament's first duel begins.

Worldwide, whether it's night or day, whether it's adults or children, everyone interested in dueling, everyone with aspirations in dueling, is watching this duel at this moment.

As the screen lights up, Kaiba Corporation's GG flashes by, and a giant white egg appears before everyone.

With the appearance of the white egg, its top slowly cracks open. Then, the white egg extends outward like a blooming lotus, revealing its interior.

A huge and empty duel field, covering an area of several basketball courts, slowly rises. After the duel field rises, various cameras and lighting equipment around the duel field also turn on with a 'pop' sound.

Accompanied by a 'wow' of cheers, the stands inside the giant egg are revealed.

In the stands, there are students from various branch schools, some holding signs to cheer for their supported students, and some purely watching the duel, celebrating loudly.

In addition to these students, there is also a special group of spectators, namely the local spirits!

They are arranged on the opposite side of the duel field, able to see both sides of the duel simultaneously. Compared to human spectators, there are undoubtedly fewer of them, but their appearance not only makes the students here cheer, but also makes the audience watching the live broadcast exclaim.

They are the legendary spirits!

This is the first batch of spirits to appear before humans and watch duels with humans since the beginning of the dimension exploration!

Many curious people feel that it is worth waiting in front of the screen for so long just to see the spirits.

Moreover, the purpose of these spirits coming here is not just to join in the fun.

In this grandest 'genius clash' competition of mankind, if they can encounter any interesting warriors, they are happy to support them—

As the audience and lights come on, colorful fireworks also rise into the air.

This grand event has finally begun its first duel.

Duelists No. 23 and No. 31.

Tenjoin is 19, Manjoume is 20, followed by Jim and O'Brien, so No. 23 is someone Tenjoin Hikari doesn't know.

Johan is the last duelist to arrive, with the number 37. The earlier the number, the earlier they arrived, but it doesn't mean their strength is worse.

In short, there are a total of 37 duelists in this final, so there is a high probability of byes or revival matches. Tenjoin Hikari is not very clear and has to wait for Kaiba Corporation's arrangements.

Anyway, the first match of the GX final has begun.

Both duelists are people Tenjoin Hikari doesn't recognize. They seem to be his classmates, wearing blue and red clothes. It's hard to tell which academy they are from their appearance. Only when they start introducing themselves will Tenjoin Hikari know that one is from the Eastern Branch and the other is from the Nordic Branch.

As for the Eastern Branch, Tenjoin Hikari remembers that it is the academy where 'Ammon Garam' was in the original work, but this time, Tenjoin Hikari did not see Ammon.

Perhaps he is still looking for the power of Exodia at this time.

"Duel!" X2.

Two unknown classmates started the first duel.

Tenjoin Hikari sat in the preparation seat, with his hands behind his head, watching the live broadcast. His friends also curiously watched the live broadcast, apparently preparing to analyze the duels of potential opponents.

Although they are unknown people, who knows what kind of duel they will have?

Everyone present should be a noteworthy opponent—

As if responding to everyone's thoughts...

"Synchro Summon, Level 6, Blast Magician!"

Oh my, Synchro!

A loud exclamation erupted from the audience, but in the preparation hall, after the initial shock, everyone quickly calmed down and began to discuss the content of the duel.

Occasionally, someone would glance at Kaiser.

Kaiser didn't mind the gazes at all, looking intently at the image on the screen.

Because Marufuji Ryo suddenly used Xyz Summoning in their dimension, and even summoned Xyz Monsters, everyone had the idea of using Xyz and Synchro Summoning.

Coming to this Liminality dimension and getting to know the spirits here naturally leads to some special ideas.

Countless people in this Liminality are trying to learn Xyz and Synchro!

However, the vast majority of students cannot get the approval of the spirits.

Moreover, even if they get approved, those powers can only be guaranteed to be used within the Liminality dimension.

Back in their world, wanting to Xyz or Synchro is theoretically still impossible.

Unless... it's Marufuji Ryo's situation.

In the face of the opponent's Synchro performance, the other duelist was surprised, but not afraid, because he quickly showed his specialty—Skill Drain!

"Hiss... what a powerful card." Manjoume sucked in a breath of cold air as he looked at the trap card used by duelist No. 31.

Although it can't completely stop him, the card that 'as long as this card exists on the field, the effects of face-up monsters on the field are negated' is really a bit terrifying.

His V to Z and Light and Darkness Dragon would also become blank slates on the field, unable to exert their full power.

"I see, using Skill Drain to negate the opponent's monster effects, and then summoning monsters with higher attack power but also with side effects to duel? Because of the effect of Skill Drain, the monsters become blank slates, so there is no need to worry about side effects at all, and the monster's stats become an absolute advantage."

Misawa Daichi nodded不停地 on the side.

As a calculation-type duelist, he thinks this tactic is still very good.

While everyone was chatting, Tenjoin Fubuki unknowingly approached Tenjoin Hikari and whispered, "Hikari, what did you throw away before?"

Tenjoin Hikari looked at the duel, heard his words, didn't make a sound, and also lowered his voice, saying, "I got an electromagnetic resistance potion from the alchemist in the Spellbook Academy dimension."

"Electromagnetic resistance... electric shock... as expected, it wasn't my illusion." Tenjoin Fubuki took a deep breath after listening.

He dragged Marufuji Ryo around the Liminality to run and duel, of course, not purely to have a gathering with friends and sisters, but also to see how they were doing.

His sister is still the same sister, although she is smart and beautiful, she has never considered her future; Marufuji Ryo seems to be even more 'wise' and magnanimous than before, but Fubuki clearly sees that Marufuji Ryo's body is getting worse day by day.

Now... he has finally gotten a definite answer.

"So, what's going on?"

Tenjoin Hikari thought for a while and said, "Principal Samejima told me that the cards of the Underworld Electronic Style are too powerful, so they will shock the holder... it is also considered a test of the card spirit for the holder."

"A test of life?!" Fubuki's dissatisfaction was evident.

But soon, he returned to his usual appearance, scratching the back of his head: "Hey, so that's how it is, hahaha~ Hikari, if there is anything interesting in the future, be sure to tell me—"

He shouted while patting Tenjoin Hikari's arm.

"Brother, don't disturb Tenjoin-kun!" Asuka, who was still paying attention to the duel, turned her head and complained to him when she heard her brother's excessive silly laughter.

Tenjoin Hikari responded with a smile: "Haha, um. Okay. I will tell you next time."

Fubuki nodded solemnly.

He is not interested in what champion is—

He is not that type of duelist.

But, at least this time, he must have a showdown with Ryo...!
