Even the Tyler Sisters lost?
In the audience, pure bystander Dennis was clutching his hands in front of him, watching the Tyler Sisters stand up supporting each other, and then concede defeat to Tenjo Hikari after exchanging a few words before immediately admitting defeat, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Dennis Macfield, one of the "spies" directly under Akaba Leo's Secret Team. Although still a student, he can already command soldiers of the masked "Obelisk's Power" legion, and is a trusted agent of Akaba Leo.
Previously, he heard that Professor Akaba was going to dispatch others to this school, and even wanted him to infiltrate as a spy for the upcoming "Dimensional Internship," which left him quite surprised.
Especially since the strongest tag-duelists pairing, the undefeated Tyler Sisters, were sent to this school to deal with a single student, which added to his surprise.
To know, the Tyler Sisters are the strongest tag-duelists within the Fusion Army, although not the top duelists, they are twins with decks that can collaborate, coupled with the Amazoness Deck's attributes, they can deal with any kind of enemy and are the strongest group inside the Fusion Army.
More importantly, the dispatching of these two to the school implied that, in Professor Akaba's view, without the opponent having some "burden," none of the visible, peer-aged duelists in the Fusion Army can defeat Tenjo Hikari one-on-one!
Only tag battles hold hope!
As for the result...
Professor might be disappointed.
Who would have thought, even the Tyler Sisters couldn't stop Tenjo Hikari?
Dennis found himself deeply worried.
This worry is not only for the Tyler Sisters' failure, but also about realizing the obstacles faced at this school are much more complicated than the simple narrative touted inside the Fusion Army.
Tenjo Hikari's strength is comprehensive, not just his own, but his friends and teammates are definitely not "burdens."
Sigh...what a mess to handle.
While Dennis was contemplating what to do next, how to approach Serena, how to ensure the future direction of the Integration Department, Tenjo Hikari had already bid farewell to the Tyler Sisters.
"Uh… we lost this time, but next time, we will definitely win back!"
"Thank you so much for the duel, my sister and I are very satisfied, really want to experience more Polymerization."
"Grace!"
Under the sister's teasing, the two sisters laughed and bickered as they left, Manjome rubbed his sore shoulder, and said: "Haha, Tenjo, looks like you finally have some female fans."
"I've always had female fans." Tenjo Hikari pointed his thumb toward Serena, as well as more ordinary students nearby.
Then he changed the topic, "You also don't need to push yourself too hard, you won't be doing video calls with different companies every night, will you?"
"Uh, haha… You noticed that, huh." Manjome rubbed his neck, turned his head, but merely acknowledged without further elaboration.
"Well played, Hikari, Manjome!" From the other side, Judai had already started cheering for them.
Watching two splendid and interesting duels in a day was a considerable relaxation for Judai, who was preparing for Ed Phoenix's arrival, and even those less enthusiastic about dueling were discussing it as they gradually left.
Discussing the duels, discussing Tenjo Hikari, Manjome, and the Tyler Sisters, discussing Tenjo Hikari's higher-level Polymerization.
And using this opportunity, more newcomers became curious, wanting to see what the "Fusion Department" that Tenjo Hikari established is like.
After all, their leader is truly "fused" to an extraordinary degree.
More than anything seen on TV!
Tenjo Hikari can't personally greet these new students.
For one, two intense duels indeed left Tenjo Hikari a bit tired. Additionally, Tenjo Hikari began attempting something entirely new.
After the duel, he sensed the "Duel Energy," the energy level generated by the duel with the Tyler Sisters and Manjome was far greater than that of the duel with Teacher Rocks.
Previously, this Duel Energy would gradually disperse.
But today, Tenjo Hikari was in the leader's office, striving to control and redirect the energy to his chest before it dissipated as much as possible.
Zzz——
Zzzz————
Zzzap!
Tenjo Hikari's chest, to be exact, centered on Tenjo Hikari's "necklace," a dazzling white light suddenly flashed, releasing a storm that sent many documents and stationary flying around the leader's office.
In an instant, perhaps just a blink or two, this change suddenly vanished, and the light from Tenjo Hikari's chest disappeared instantly, as if it had never existed.
"Hah… puff… huh… puff." Tenjo Hikari panted heavily.
He felt slightly uncomfortable in his chest.
"Truly a master!" Upon Tenjo Hikari completing this series of operations, a Wan Alchemist directly flew out, excitedly saying, "Wow, I originally thought you would need Spirit Adaptability reached LV 10 to touch the power of that card!"
As a spirit very early joined Tenjo Hikari's team, Wan Alchemist naturally knows the strength of that [Card] in Tenjo Hikari's possession. It was aware that Tenjo Hikari can use the power of that card to alchemize some different cards, so it is definitely the ultimate essence of Alchemy.
But — precisely because it knows, it understands more that Tenjo Hikari at this current level, recklessly unleashing the full force of this card, even actively transporting "power" into it is very dangerous!
Even simply relying on its existence for Alchemy can easily damage Tenjo Hikari, and violating this card and Tenjo Hikari's mutual "understanding," accelerating the card's operation, is even more life-threatening!
But Tenjo Hikari not only did it, succeeded too!
Before this, it even considered seeking assistance from Lord Midrash should Tenjo Hikari encounter any mishap, yet surprisingly Lord Midrash had completely no guard.
"Such beautiful colors… the hidden power of that card is really gorgeous." Tierra floated beside Tenjo Hikari, touching his chin as he marveled at the power.
Tenjo Hikari felt quite excited too.
Although transferring "Duel Energy" into Super Polymerization is extremely challenging, even requiring a secluded area to do so, unlike Super Polymerization itself which absorbs energy effortlessly like a natural process. But, the ability to change represents further mastery over Super Polymerization!
Although… the supplementary energy gained this time barely reached one tenth or one twentieth of his original expectations, possibly increasing the strength for card creation outside of the "first duel," no matter the amount, is a substantial gain!
The energy is trivial; what matters is to adapt and control the card!
"If this continues, Master, you may soon be able to add that card into your deck in duels!" Wan Alchemist eagerly exclaimed.
Completely unleashing that card's power seems distant for Tenjo Hikari.
Yet simply enhancing his control capacity to place it in the deck makes Tenjo Hikari feel exhausting his energy daily on this endeavor is worthwhile.
"Truly owe much to Yusei." He took a deep breath, revealing a thrilled smile.
Tenjo Hikari collaborated with Yusei to adjust the "D-wheel," not to learn how to tinker a motorcycle — that's something achievable in this world!
What Tenjo Hikari learned and valued most from working with Yusei was how to adjust the connection between the vehicle and the [Moment] to enable normal operation!
And this, bearing the [Philosopher's Stone], becomes the most significant advancement for Tenjo Hikari!
