"Hello! You guys are here!"
Tenjo Hikari heard a girl's shout. He looked around and finally turned to Judai.
"Where?"
"Right in front of you, right?"
"Oh dear, it seems you still can't see me~" the girl's voice continued, "But it won't be long, right?"
Oh, I see.
Tenjo Hikari nodded.
He vaguely felt that there was something in front of him, but unfortunately, he could only hear the Spirit's voice, and without a 3D image, he still couldn't see the Spirit.
"Let me apologize to you first~ Sorry, sorry!" Tenjo Hikari seemed to see a blonde girl with her hands clasped, continuously apologizing to them, "Anyway, you should know my purpose, right?"
Tenjo Hikari glanced at Judai, who spread his hands, indicating he didn't understand.
"Oh my, so dense, Black Luster Soldier, Black Luster Soldier!"
"Ah! Are you the one sent by Mr. Black Luster Soldier?" Judai's eyes lit up, "Ohhhh!! Could it be, we can go again——"
"It's Brother Black Luster Soldier who asked me to deliver something——"
Seeing that Judai completely didn't understand her, the Dark Magician Girl couldn't hold back anymore. She simply waved her Magic Staff, drawing a bridge of light in the air. On the bridge, a card appeared, slowly falling in front of Tenjo Hikari.
"Haha, isn't this the guy?!"
"Hahaha, this kid, I thought he had forgotten!"
Tenjo Hikari heard the voices of Flame Sword and Black Flame, becoming more curious. He reached out and took the card, taking a careful look——
What the heck?!
Black Luster Soldier?!
Nothing else, no restrictions, no embellishments, and no fancy stuff, just those four words—Black Luster Soldier!
LV 8, Warrior-Type, Earth Attribute, Ritual Monster!
"This?" Tenjo Hikari dumbfoundedly took the card.
"Master, it's Gaia, Gaia!"
"Gaia? Oh——" Judai suddenly realized.
"Gaia? Could it be! Is it the Gaia The Fierce Knight who dueled with us in a tag team with the Winged Person back then?" Tenjo Hikari looked at the card in his hand, "Did he actually evolve into Black Luster Soldier?"
"Bingo!" The Dark Magician Girl replied cheerfully, "It is said that ever since you defeated that Warrior, he's been working hard to correct his mistakes and collaborated with a Light Attribute Spirit to complete the Black Luster Ritual.
However, I've heard that he wants to continue challenging himself, saying he will personally apologize and follow you once he completes his transformation." The Dark Magician Girl gently nudged her hat with her Magic Staff.
Is that so?
Tenjo Hikari nodded gently.
Although there's no Ritual Spell, although it might not be usable anywhere, he truly received Gaia's intentions.
"And then, there's something else." The Dark Magician Girl floated in the air and took out two more cards, "These are the coordinates of two worlds, please keep them safe."
Tenjo and Judai each took one card.
"Brother Black Luster Soldier tasked me with giving these to you."
She first pointed to Judai and said, "It's said this is the dimension where a Fire Attribute heroine resides."
"Ah! It's Burst Lady!" The Winged Person flew out excitedly, "Judai, we——"
"Shut up, go squat over there!" Captain Gold kicked him away.
"Ah haha..." Judai awkwardly scratched his face with his finger, "I see, thank you!"
He didn't expect Black Luster Soldier to pay attention to the whereabouts of his friends, leaving him speechless.
That silent, fair, and just Warrior was surprisingly warm-hearted.
"As for your card... oh dear, sorry." The Dark Magician Girl tapped her head with her Magic Staff, "Originally, I came to the world of the living to help out, but ended up seeing you guys having a party and couldn't resist joining in. I kind of forgot...
This is the coordinates to the Magician's Village, consider it compensation for you. Please, don't tell him I forgot as a favor! Okay! If you don't reply, I'll take it as a yes!"
"Right, and also the prize for losing the duel, right? I get it, I get it, I know the rules!" She took out another card, signing it with a flourish, "Ta-da! Super super super awesome card! Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight! It's a card only I have! Here, don't lose it!"
"Wow, what is that, I've never heard of it!" Judai beamed with excitement, visibly drawn to the Fusion Monster.
On the card, it was the Dark Magician Girl wielding a shield and longsword, wearing silver-white magical armor, and underneath her, a dragon Judai had never seen before!
Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight!
A unique form of the Dark Magician Girl that can only be Special Summoned using Polymerization or The Eye of Timaeus!
This is quite a powerful Fusion Monster for this era.
Unfortunately, until now, Super Polymerization hasn't managed to conjure the Legendary Dragon.
At least for now, Super Polymerization can't summon something of the caliber of the Legendary Nameless Dragon. It could also be that his Spirit Power is still too low, considering how long it took to create Little Winda.
This card's strength is already quite high, so getting it was a pleasant surprise, and Tenjo Hikari was quite satisfied.
After finishing their business with Tenjo and Judai, the Dark Magician Girl cheerfully left. She didn't dare stay too long in the Human World. If she got discovered by Kaiba Seto, things could get interesting. If he tracked her, she might get scolded harshly by her master, so she decisively opened a magic array and left this world.
"Too bad." After the Dark Magician Girl left, Judai scratched the back of his head and said, "Looks like during the holiday, we won't be able to explore the Otherworld together."
He had to go find his friends, so it was impossible for him to travel to the Magician's Village with Tenjo Hikari.
"That's normal, isn't it?" Tenjo Hikari replied with a smile, "After all, time and energy are limited."
Meanwhile.
"Serena was discovered by Cronos? She was even taken to the girls' dormitory?" Akaba Leo seemed to have just returned from the Otherworld. After hearing his subordinate's report, he didn't frown.
Hehehe.
Cronos, do you think capturing my 'daughter' will make me hesitate?
You have no idea what I'm up to.
At that moment, he felt he had outsmarted Cronos.
Where Serena was didn't matter; what mattered was that she was alive and within his knowledge, within his reach.
Cronos thought he had discovered his 'secret' and that capturing his daughter would intimidate him, but that was naive.
He couldn't care less about that!
What he cared more about was actually that Serena called Tenjo Hikari master, further diminishing the reputation of the Fusion Army.
But that's fine; he could use the Serena incident to mess with Cronos and disguise his true intentions.
And there was another point.
"This Marufuji Shou, is he Marufuji Ryo's younger brother?" He looked at a file.
"Yes, he joined our Fusion Army some time ago!" The Red Academy representative quickly answered, "They say he joined the day Tenjo Hikari took the name of Fusion."
"His performance today was excellent!" Several Fusion Army members responsible for 'protecting' Serena quickly added, "He first found a way to get the female Duelist to participate in the duel, and then he used words to pressure the students watching to put pressure on Tenjo Hikari. He even made comments like 'Using effects to peek at a girl's hand cards is snooping on a girl's secrets,' making Tenjo Hikari uncomfortable!"
"Unfortunately...we didn't coordinate well, and couldn't cause Tenjo Hikari to make a mistake. Please, Professor, punish us!"
"Interesting, even though he's Marufuji Ryo's younger brother, he actively joined us at a time like this? Could it be he's a spy?" Kambayashi Kaname frowned, "Professor, this might be an undercover!"
At the time, Marufuji Shou, seeing how terribly the Fusion Army was losing, wanted to change himself. He then took Tenjo Hikari's advice to join Fusion Army, thinking it would train his mindset in an environment filled with weirdos. He figured, even if something happened, Tenjo Hikari would surely rescue him, so he wasn't afraid. Besides, it was just a hobby club; he didn't need to attend every day. There was nothing to be afraid of at all.
"Can an undercover be more outstanding than our people?" Akaba Leo shook his head.
"Hehehehe, I get it now. No wonder we've never heard of his name before. Maybe it's because his brother overshadowed him, huh? Maybe he's long been dissatisfied with his brother's presence and finally saw an opportunity this time?"
He pondered for a moment and suddenly had a plan.
Given the huge blow Tenjo Hikari dealt to the Fusion Army, he could totally follow Cronos's example and create an 'idol' for the Fusion Army!
Marufuji Shou, ambitious, capable, and the brother of Marufuji Ryo, isn't he the perfect candidate!
Once other students knew that 'Caesar's' brother was part of the Fusion Army, wouldn't they flock to join?
