#426 - Complex Thoughts (6K)

After saying goodbye to Ansteel and Tenjoin, Hikari walked towards the final resurrection zone. The second resurrection match was a "battle royale" where only one out of a dozen people could advance. Ansteel didn't have the confidence to secure a spot in the top eight, so after offering a couple of blessings to Tenjoin, he chose to leave.

Next time, it's uncertain when they'll meet again.

As the last match of the second round, Kaiba Corporation began to load the final equipment after Tenjoin Hikari's duel, making sure to have the new stage equipment ready by tomorrow.

Back in the waiting hall, Tenjoin Hikari was still thinking about the Dragon Magician.

He didn't expect that he would get news of the Dragon Magician Guardian in this way.

This is an extremely useful card for him. Although activating its effect prevents him from special summoning monsters other than fusion monsters from the extra deck in that turn, so he can't use Mud Dragon King, this doesn't really affect Tenjoin Hikari's deck building.

Besides that, its two effects are also very useful.

Effect 1: During the turn it is summoned or special summoned, you can discard one hand card to add one [Fusion] Normal Magic Card from the deck to your hand!

It's a weakened version of Predaplant Verte Anaconda's search range. It cannot search for Equip, Continuous, Quick-Play, or Field Magic Cards, and it cannot retrieve cards that Tenjoin Hikari considers useful like Future Fusion or Fusion Recovery Organization like Predaplant Verte Anaconda. It also can't add [Super Polymerization] to his hand at necessary times like Predaplant Verte Anaconda.

But similarly, this is a method that can be directly searched with just a normal summon, which is much more convenient than Fusion Predaplant Verte Anaconda and then activating Predaplant Verte Anaconda's effect.

Not only that, it can also reveal a fusion monster in the extra deck and special summon a fusion material monster with its name written on it from the graveyard in face-down defense position.

Searching a deck for fusion, then activating and recycling it can be said to be extremely compatible with Tenjoin Hikari's deck and ideas.

More importantly.

Ansteel also told Tenjoin Hikari.

Pegasus is preparing to refer to Tenjoin Hikari's image when creating cards—he never expected that one day, he would be printed on a card like the various characters in the original work!

This makes Tenjoin Hikari quite happy.

After all, this kind of opportunity is rare.

Tenjoin Hikari returned to the waiting hall and greeted several friends. Misawa marveled at Tenjoin Hikari's understanding of the duel rules, while Shoji praised Tenjoin Hikari's continuous Prism Crystals.

Everyone was very clear about what Tenjoin Hikari's previous duel was for.

After finishing this round of duels, the next duel will start again from the first duelist of each round.

And the next duel has also been confirmed.

First of all, of course, is Jun Manjoume, who was the first to duel in the second round and emerged victorious against Gloria.

The second person is Asuka Tenjoin.

"My next opponent... Tenjoin-san?" Although he already knew who his opponent was, Shoji had only just begun to consider his opponent.

He and Asuka are the "male and female representatives" of the Blue Dormitory in their year.

Generally, only the Blue Dormitory is like this.

Because the other dormitories don't have female students, only the Blue Dormitory has a specific female dormitory.

So, even if Serena wears a red uniform, she still has to rest in the Blue Dormitory in the end.

However, this will lead to a new problem.

That is, who exactly is the first in the Blue Dormitory?

In the previous generation, there was Ryoga Kaiser, so the first in the Blue Dormitory was undoubtedly Kaiser. The previous generation was more balanced, so when Fubuki awakened and returned to class as a second-year student, he was the chief and first of the previous generation.

But, in Tenjoin Hikari's generation, there is no standard until now.

Because who is the first in the Blue Dormitory has never actually been decided.

Manjoume has never accepted the Blue Dormitory's "dimensional travel" permission from beginning to end.

On the one hand, Manjoume originally relied on Kaiba Corporation and the Manjoume Group, and had plenty of opportunities for dimensional adventures. Judai also liked to drag him around, so he really didn't want to casually occupy the opportunity that his classmates had worked so hard for.

Besides, the Blue Dormitory's dimensional gate has more energy than Red and Yellow, so there is really no need to deliberately divide a first place.

But now it's different.

Even if he himself doesn't care, others will calculate based on this duel, who exactly is the chief of the Blue Dormitory in their year.

"Manjoume and Asuka, huh?" Daichi Misawa pondered to the side.

The reason he was still in this hall was, of course, because he had won his previous duel.

If he wins his next duel, then according to the number of duel rounds, he will next face the winner of Manjoume and Asuka.

From a personal point of view, he really wants to duel Asuka.

Because during the friendly cup in S-Dimension last time, he lost to Asuka in the duel. As a duelist, he certainly wants to regroup and then have another duel with Asuka to determine a winner.

However, if the opponent is Manjoume...—

"Ah—" While he was thinking, Fubuki Tenjoin next to him looked at the duel schedule and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that Asuka will stop here."

Huh?

Daichi Misawa looked at Fubuki, just about to open his mouth, when he saw Fubuki take out a violin from somewhere and gently play it: "But, don't be sad, Asuka~ Maybe you can reunite with me in the resurrection match~"

Daichi Misawa was silent.

He looked at the duel schedule.

Fubuki's opponent is...

Kaiser!?

Daichi Misawa thought about it.

Does Fubuki-senpai think that he can't defeat Kaiser?

As a duelist, has he given up so easily?

Tenjoin Hikari looked at Fubuki, and he became suspicious when he heard Fubuki say such a thing.

What does this mean?

Although Fubuki is a bit unreliable, he wouldn't just admit defeat.

Could it be—

Tenjoin Hikari frowned.

On the other side, Tenjoin Hikari's opponent waved at him: "Yo, congratulations on winning!"

"Haha, Jim, I didn't expect to run into you so quickly," Tenjoin Hikari responded.

That's right—as the number of unfamiliar duelists decreases, Tenjoin Hikari's next opponents are basically people he has an impression of.

And his next opponent is none other than the fusion duelist who uses "Fossil Fusion"—Jim Crocodile Cook.

Tenjoin Hikari's opponent in the 14-into-7 match is Jim!

"Woof!" Karen shouted at Tenjoin Hikari, and Tenjoin Hikari also greeted it.

"Before, when we were at your base, Judai said your fusion was very interesting, saying that I would definitely like to duel you," Jim said with a smile, greeting Tenjoin Hikari.

Before, Jim and O'Brien weren't very lucky, and happened to be opponents in the second round, so Jim could only defeat O'Brien with tears—but no, Jim won quite happily, making O'Brien quite angry.

Tenjoing Hikari also watched their duel, and it was basically neck and neck, and who could win could only be known at the end.

Jim's Fossil deck is actually quite interesting, and Tenjoin Hikari also likes the Fossil Fusion card.

More importantly, the fusion conditions for Fossil Fusion monsters are actually very broad.

Jim has a kind of rogue's free and easy, and after knowing that his opponent was Tenjoin Hikari, he smiled and came to greet Tenjoin Hikari.

When the GX competition is over, Duel Academy will have a summer vacation, and next semester, the representatives of their branch school will come to the main school as exchange students for half a year. Because he already knows Judai, Sho, Tenjoing Hikari and other students from the main school, he has a certain yearning for the main school.

Currently, he feels that the main school students he has met are very excellent, so he is quite willing to be this exchange student.

He chatted with Tenjoing Hikari for a few words, and didn't say anything harsh, just said that he would use all his strength to respond to his friends in the duel later.

He values the word "friend" very much.

Tenjoing Hikari did not disturb his interest, only said that he was also very much looking forward to it.

Duelling with Jim, he can guarantee that Super Polymerization will definitely print some fusion cards related to Fossil Fusion for him.

So he is very much looking forward to duelling with Jim.

Time flies, and soon, the next day arrives.

Kaiba Corporation's preparations have also been completely completed.

With the appearance of Manjoume and Asuka, bursts of cheers erupted from both sides of the duel field.

Manjoume stood on the field and suddenly felt the ground under his feet shaking violently. Before long, the duel field actually began to shake violently.

"Ah—" Asuka exclaimed in a low voice, but soon, she realized that there was actually no danger.

Boom boom boom, boom boom boom. The duel field began to rise, and finally, the duel field completely floated in mid-air.

At the same time, huge three-dimensional models appeared on both sides of the duel, projecting images of Shoji and Asuka.

In this way, the audience will be able to see more clearly, and their expressions during the duel will also be fully visible.

Not only here, but the duelist hall also slowly began to deform. Before long, the top of the hall disappeared, and finally it was filled on the edge of the duel field, becoming a closer viewing seat.

Tenjoing Hikari only needs to lie on the railing to see the duel at a closer distance, without having to look at the images in the projector and TV.

But Tenjoing Hikari is more attentive to some details.

That is, he found that from the beginning to now, the duel field is slowly rising.

That is to say, when the finals come, the dueling sides will duel at the highest position in the entire dimension,

Feeling the gale and passion, so that all beings in the entire dimension can see their duel.

As expected of Kaiba Corporation, there are really many tricks.

Manjoume installed the duel disk and calmly prepared to start the game.

Perhaps because the wind was blowing through her body, Asuka seemed to have some passion, and she tried to chat with Manjoume before the duel.

After all, everyone is the earliest member of the Fusion Club, and they are also friends. It is good to catch up on the finals.

"It seems that there is finally an opportunity, Manjoume-kun."

"Opportunity?" Although he didn't say it, Manjoume still has a bit of gentlemanly demeanor, and didn't refute the other party for calling himself Manjoume-kun with "It's Manjoume Thunder", if it was Judai, he would have gone back, "What opportunity are you referring to."

"Of course, it is the opportunity to decide the winner," Asuka said with a smile.

Downstage, Fubuki, who was watching the duel, shook his head again.

"We have always been competitors for the first place in the Blue Dormitory, but there has never been an opportunity to decide the winner. I believe that Professor Chronos should also be watching now—."

"—.Tenjoing-san."

"?"

"You should give up this idea."

"What?" Asuka suddenly became a little angry.

Could it be that I will definitely lose?

"Are we participating in this final just to decide the first place in the Blue Dormitory of this school?" Manjoume is still polite and has the demeanor of a gentleman, and is telling Asuka what he has learned during this period, "No,

our real goal is to become the strongest duelist!

So, no matter what the opponent is, what you should be thinking about is victory—’

"Stop talking nonsense, duel!" Asuka was really angry.

Because the implication of Manjoume's words is actually saying that she has not seen the real things now, and has been left behind by Shoji, and there is no need to divide the so-called first place at all.

"Manjoume, that guy—" Misawa's expression changed on the special audience seat.

"Hmph, interesting," Kaiser suddenly said.

"Oh oh oh! What a handsome word, I will write this down and tell people when I have the opportunity!" Johann said excitedly to Ruby next to him.

"That's really amazing, Thunder, that guy," Fubuki touched his chin and muttered in a low voice, then,

The expression on his face changed, and then he covered his forehead with his right hand, pretending to be a pity, and said, "Really,

I told Asuka a long time ago to let her use the beauty trick, how can she win Thunder! Are you right, Hikari?"

Tenjoing Hikari felt that he was going to sweat.

Not only him, but the several students next to him were also speechless.

What made Tenjoing Hikari even more uncomfortable was that in the original work, Manjoume really chose to confess to Asuka because of Fubuki's words, and finally lost.

But——

What Manjoume said is a bit powerful.

No wonder I felt that he had an unspeakable strength these few days.

Tenjoing Hikari focused on Manjoume's duel.

In the last duel with Gloria, although Gloria really wanted to win, because she didn't think much of Manjoume, she lost neatly and didn't play anything.

Now, Tenjoing Hikari really wants to see what level Manjoume has reached—and then, he saw something very exaggerated.

"XYZ-Extreme God Dragon Cannon??"

This is definitely not what Manjoume collected!

Tenjoing Hikari was stunned watching from the sidelines.

Obviously, he and Manjoume were looking for BC and AB, but Manjoume took out the brand new XYZ?

There are no Allied Forces elves in this dimension!

He even asked Assault Core!

The strength of the card is still secondary, after all, Asuka's Cyber Angel is not necessarily strong, but then, Manjoume performed a brand new thing for him.

"Banish the Super Alloy Beast from the Extra Deck, activate its effect, Special Summon—Dragon of Dark and Demise!"

Hiss...

Tenjoing Hikari gasped.

The power of the Light and Darkness Dragon has increased!

I see.

No wonder when I watched Manjoume and Gloria duel that day, he felt that Manjoume at that time was particularly strong.

Seeing the Light and Darkness Dragon activate its effect and easily destroy Cyber Angel Benten, Koyo Amakaze knew that Asuka was unlikely to win.

Whether in terms of mentality or dueling.

During this time, Ryoken Misawa didn't know what he had experienced, but he seemed to have figured something out. Even his partners had become stronger under this resonance, conjuring such a thing for him.

Koyo Amakaze stroked his chin, pondering.

Light and Darkness Dragon is Ryoken Misawa's ace card in the original *Yu-Gi-Oh! GX* manga. Besides that, there are Shining Flare Wingman and Dark Armed Dragon, but for some reason, these two cards, when made into real cards, became Synchro Monsters. Koyo Amakaze had never seen Ryoken Misawa use these two cards in this world.

Now it seemed that Ryoken Misawa resonated with the Light and Darkness Dragon and obtained this card.

Then there must also be a Light and Ascension Dragon.

I just don't know if there will be a Light and Darkness Dragon King.

Koyo Amakaze couldn't estimate it, so he asked Tierra for help. Tierra waved his hand, saying that it would be at most equivalent to the Light and Darkness Dragon, and couldn't be higher.

But even so.

Thinking of the wise men in Ryoken Misawa's deck, Koyo Amakaze frowned.

If you want to earn cards, you can earn cards; if you want to remove fields, you can remove fields; if you want to interfere, you can interfere—

A bit powerful.

The key is that Ryoken Misawa's mentality is not the same as when he first dueled him.

He is perfect in every way.

He remembered that Ryoken Misawa in the manga version at full strength could not be defeated by Judai.

However, in a flash, his frown eased a lot.

Thinking that his friend was so strong, Koyo Amakaze also felt relieved.

With this deck, this spirit, this mentality, and this skill, even if the Dark World King came, could he still forcibly control Ryoken Misawa as in the original work?

"How could this be—"

As the final attack ended, Asuka knelt weakly on the ground.

What made her sad and surprised was not losing. Losing was something that any duelist would encounter.

What made her sad was that her words before the duel and what her brother had told her seemed to have been confirmed.

Ryoken Misawa put away his duel disk and stepped forward, preparing to pull her up, but before he could step forward, he saw Asuka get up directly and run towards the revival bench.

"Asuka—" Ryoken Misawa stretched out his hand, wanting to keep her, but in the end, he could only helplessly let go.

When Ryoken Misawa returned to the preparation area, he thought he would be greeted by the dissatisfaction of his classmates, saying that he was bullying a girl, or by Fubuki's criticism, but to his surprise, Fubuki directly put his arm around his neck and kept saying that he had done a good job, and laughed loudly, saying that he had just taken many charming photos of Asuka with teary eyes.

These were rare photos of his strong-willed sister that he usually couldn't see, and they would definitely sell for a high price in Asuka's fan club.

"Fubuki-senpai—please be nicer to Tenjoin-san." Ryoken Misawa responded awkwardly.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I understand Asuka too well~ I know better than you that this kind of thing will happen hahaha~~" Fubuki let go of Ryoken Misawa, patted him on the shoulder, and was very nonchalant.

A group of people looked at his unreliable appearance and were really helpless.

Is this the legendary genius on par with Kaiser?

He looks pretty good, but why is his mouth like this?

What can others do when they see that her brother is like this?

Obey, I guess.

However, when everyone looked at the next duel, the smile on Fubuki's face gradually disappeared.

Asuka, he sighed softly.

Your brother can't always give you ideas, Asuka.

What if your brother is gone again one day? What should you do?

And he looked at Kaiser.

Thinking about Judai, Sho, and these people, he kept shaking his head in his heart.

One by one.

They are really not worry-free guys.

If they could be like Koyo and Ryoken Misawa, why would he need to participate in this kind of competition? Wouldn't it be better to go surfing, take pictures, and dance with the spirits happily?

As the duels progressed, today's duels gradually came to an end.

A few days later.

Today, it was finally Group F's duels. Fubuki and Koyo Amakaze whispered something, and then took a bottle of purple potion from Koyo Amakaze.

He gently shook the bottle, and the liquid in the bottle made bursts of crackling sounds.

Electricity resistance potion.

Koyo said that he got the potion from the Magical Academy dimension, which can help people resist a certain degree of electromagnetism.

He opened the potion cap and poured it into his body without hesitation. The liquid flowed down his esophagus into his body, and a tingling electromagnetic sensation instantly ran through his whole body.

Ugh—is this the feeling Ryo endures?

After a moment, he came back to his senses and moved his hand.

If he has the chance, he also wants to go to that dimension.

"How many days on average does Ryo drink it once?"

"I don't know." Koyo Amakaze shook his head. "I don't know how high the intensity of the electric shock is, nor do I know how many times Kaiser endures the electric shock at once. Most importantly, I can't determine how high the healing effect of the potion is."

"Heh, it doesn't matter—from today onwards, he will never be hurt again."

He said so, but a rare serious look appeared on his face.

Several figures suddenly flew out from beside him, looking at him worriedly.

"Hahaha, everyone, don't worry, I will definitely win!" He said so, but the spirits all remembered that he had said before that he would definitely lose.

"Please enter the arena, contestants!"

"Oh! Then I'll go—" Fubuki blinked his right eye, showed his neat, shining teeth, and gave Koyo Amakaze a thumbs up.

Koyo Amakaze nodded.

When he went on stage, Kaiser was already standing on the stage, waiting for him for a long time.

The jet-black coat fluttered like a cloak in the storm.

Fubuki raised his eyebrows, raised his right hand, and shouted, "Yo~"

Kaiser didn't reply, just looked at Fubuki calmly.

"When was the last time we dueled?"

"It doesn't matter, in any case, the final victor will definitely be me!"

"Hahaha—you're really confident, Ryo."

The lights shone down, and the figures of the two people gradually appeared in the sky, and some female students screamed and cheered for the two.

Kaiser automatically opened his duel disk, while Fubuki quietly took out a mask from his clothes.

"!?" Kaiser's eyes widened suddenly.

"If I duel you in a normal dueling way, I will definitely not be able to win, right." Fubuki said softly, "So, lend me your strength—Darkness!"

A death-like aura suddenly appeared all over him, and Kaiser's breath suddenly stopped. Many Lightsworn spirits in the audience were so frightened that they rushed directly into the sky. If it weren't for the spirits and Kaiba Corporation employees maintaining order, they would probably have taken action!

In this instant, Fubuki seemed to have [died]!

"Ugh—ugh—ahhhhh—" Black electric light flashed on his body, and power beyond the understanding of ordinary people and spirits began to pour out of his body crazily.

After a while, the mask finally covered his face, and his blue academy uniform turned into a black windbreaker at some point.

A rare ugly look appeared on Kaiser's face: "Fubuki, you bastard—"

Fubuki Tenjoin gritted his teeth, his eyes lit up with scarlet light, sweat dripped from his forehead, and he said to his opponent: "Hmph, come on—Ryo!"

"Duel!" X2!

At the same time, in the sky, giant card projections of Cyber Dragon Nova and Red-Eyes Black Dragon, [representing] the two people, also lit up in the sky!
