The time rewinds several hours.
When Professor Moushou unexpectedly encountered Professor Cobra, Kagurazaka, with the help of Serena and Ruri, called for teacher assistance and was sent to the infirmary. Since Kagurazaka was merely frightened and not harmed, after a simple diagnosis, he returned to the Yellow Academy dormitory accompanied by other teachers and classmates.
Back at the dormitory, Kagurazaka tossed and turned on his bed, constantly thinking about the events of the night.
Although the professors and the Minister persistently and continuously enhanced various protections at the school, keeping things stable, the increasing number of injuries escalated the pressure on professors. Anyone slightly sensitive to safety matters could feel the situation at the school was deteriorating.
If it were normal times, Kagurazaka could follow the plan provided by Professor Cobra step by step and potentially become an excellent Spirit Duelist, embarking on the path of Dimension Travel.
But time does not allow it!
He couldn't sleep, got up, and opened the plan prepared by Cobra for him.
Flipping through the first few pages, Kagurazaka recalled Professor Cobra's warnings and gritted his teeth.
No way.
If an accident occurs, wouldn't it cause even bigger problems, troubling the professors and the Minister?
But a voice followed closely.
"Are you not angry?"
"Do you not want to help others?"
"Seeing those girls younger than you easily rescuing others, even you, do you not feel jealous?"
The voice echoed in his ears—or rather, within his body.
Was that... the voice of his heart?
"Don't you want to perform better to prove Professor Cobra's correctness and help him pass the rating exam?"
"Don't you want to become stronger so that the Minister's disciples won't need to rescue you?"
"Don't you want to become a respected Duelist like the Minister? You have that talent; with just a little help, you can easily achieve what Tenjo Hikari has, and be just as exceptional as he is!"
"You can completely imitate it!"
Hesitation means wanting to try.
However, the lingering rationality tells him he can't do this in the student dormitory building.
He sneaked out of the dormitory and found a secluded spot, taking several deep breaths.
As long as he uses that summon from the Demon Summoning Ceremony to summon the Supreme Demon, then... he has hope to leap towards extraordinary power!
By that time, he won't need others to rescue him, and he can save others!
As he hesitated, the external world was bustling over the incident between Professor Paladin and Professor Moushou. Despite hiding in a remote location, he suddenly heard about it.
At such a critical moment, a professor attacked another professor, and there's a probability that this professor will also be detained!
That's losing two professors at once!
What should the school do next!
I am a noble student of Duel Academy, I am a Duelist of the Fusion Department, I am the future Dimension Traveler, I must—I have to strive!
"Yubel—"
He called that name.
Golden power descended from the sky, the brilliance like divine light, coming from outside the island's seal, descended upon Kagurazaka's body.
He joyfully raised his hands; he could feel his Spirit Power visibly expanding. He could easily summon Spirits, and even imitate Professor Moushou by attaching Spirit Power to his body and climbing walls!
My god!
It's too strong!
Is this the power of the Supreme Demon!
Professors, Minister, wait for me, I will definitely help you!
He summoned his Spirit without hesitation; under the immense enhancement of his Spirit Power, the Spirit, initially supposed to be only a third of a person in size, grew to the size of a small building!
Haha, surely I can help the Minister now!
The Spirit hiding in the darkness was discovered by him in an instant and easily captured.
The teacher battling the Spirits was easily victorious with his help.
Classmates trapped in traps easily escaped with his help, and the lurking Spirits were straightforwardly subdued or even eliminated.
Everything was so easy!
Everything was easy!
Nothing was difficult!
He effortlessly helped the school and the Minister solve countless enemies, with classmates cheering and calling his name, professors excitedly wiping tears from their eyes, declaring that teaching Kagurazaka was the most fortunate thing in their life, and Kagurazaka didn't let his intentions go to waste.
Tenjo Hikari patted his shoulder, feeling gratified for not having misjudged Kagurazaka; indeed, Kagurazaka possessed talents far beyond the ordinary, and he should be the "Minister of Fusion"—
He effortlessly became the great Hero of the academy, even the mastermind bowed in submission!
Easy, easy, easy——————
Hahahahhahahahhhhh...
Amidst the classmates and teachers' embrace, his laughter spread further and further, reaching the sky, reaching the cosmos, reaching endless darkness, reaching far outside...
Outside the "Dream."
"Kagurazaka" slightly moved his body.
The body wasn't very functional, but it was barely sufficient.
Darkness possessed the ability to submerge humans into darkness, and Yubel inherently had the ability to alter memories. Combined, they could easily create an authentic false dreamscape.
