"Damn it."
Manjome and Amon listened to the black-clad figure's story, then looked at Tenjo Hikari's hand cards, and their expressions instantly froze.
Because they saw Tenjo Hikari's hand cards!
Under the Clear World, Tenjo Hikari's hand cards emitted a light, projecting into the crystals in the air, revealing their forms!
Normal Spell Card Fusion Substitute, Aleister the Invoker!
Tenjo Hikari's deck primarily consists of Fusion Spell Cards and a large number of Fusion Materials. Therefore, the likelihood of having Magic Cards in Tenjo Hikari's hand cards is high, and after that, it's certain that Tenjo Hikari's hand will include an Aleister. Despite Aleister having the ability to search for Invocation to achieve a once-per-turn fusion effect, "Invocation" is also a Magic Card.
Magic Cards under "Clear World" are useless!
"Human individuality, bonds, these unnecessary things, have limited human development." The black-clad figure sneered at Tenjo Hikari and said, "Whether hot-blooded, calm, or wise, as long as humans have ideas different from others, their strength can never be used in one place, which is why conflicts arise.
All because of humanity's boring society and emotions!"
"Nonsense." Manjome's expression was sullen.
"Incomprehensible." Amon, on the other hand, had no interest in understanding such ideas.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Fubuki slowly got up. Due to environmental changes, he was no longer lying on a hospital bed but was standing beside the Dueling Arena with Manjome's support, watching the duel, "Yusuke, you're wrong!"
Yusuke?
The two nearby classmates looked at Fubuki in shock and disbelief.
"Yusuke?" The black-clad figure also heard Fubuki's voice and laughed lightly, saying, "Such an old name, it seems I haven't heard it in ages. Nonetheless, that was my name as a human, now I am darkness!"
As long as you follow, listen to darkness, you can call yourself "darkness," just like Tenjouin Fubuki was once darkness as well.
More than this, Fujiwara Yusuke was focused on something else.
"As expected of Tenjouin Fubuki, his compatibility with darkness is indeed good. He recalled it so quickly."
Tenjouin Fubuki's face alternated between pain and hesitation, but quickly, his gaze became resolute.
"Little Hikari! Be careful, he possesses a strange ability. Back then, we lost to him because of that ability. Don't bet everything casually!"
Tenjo Hikari heard Fubuki's words and nodded slightly, indicating understanding.
Then, Tenjouin Fubuki looked at the black-clad figure and said, "Yusuke, after your parents passed away, I knew you were very sad. I also thought you might go to extremes, but I didn't expect this—"
Tenjouin Fubuki, Marufuji Ryo, and Fujiwara Yusuke were once close friends, always acting together, learning together, just like Tenjo Hikari, Yuki Judai, and Manjome Jun, growing together as a group.
But one day, Fujiwara Yusuke suddenly received news that his parents passed away due to an accident. This devastating blow was unbearable, and he sank into depression for a long time.
He and Marufuji Ryo tried many ways to help Fujiwara Yusuke regain his spirit, but in the end, he still didn't recover.
Then... unknowingly, he "forgot" Fujiwara Yusuke—until he and his sister were chased by those Mr. T, he tried to exert the power of "darkness" to a greater extent to find a way out, he gradually adapted to this power, and gradually remembered everything.
He remembered—shortly after his parents passed away, Fujiwara Yusuke seemed about to regain his spirit under his and Caesar's encouragement, but one day discovered some huge secret and then slowly faded from the students' view.
"What exactly happened after that!?" Fubuki questioned.
"Hehe, just some old clichés." Fujiwara Yusuke didn't care much and casually said, "Not long after that, when others talked to me, they were very peaceful and calm, and they didn't show any sadness when facing me.
Ah, I understand, perhaps they were also [concerned] about me.
But, I gradually discovered that my friends, my relatives gradually forgot about this matter, gradually didn't care about my parents' deaths, it seemed gradually, only I, the son, remembered their death."
Fujiwara laughed and said, "That's just how humans are. Everyone has their own business, everyone has their own goals, everyone also has their own personal affairs, for others, my affairs are insignificant.
Only I have continuously felt pain from this—
And then I realized, those people didn't care because they indeed had no relationship with me; and I felt pain only because I was the son of those two humans.
If I were not their son, I might not care either.
After that, I began to contact darkness, study darkness, then slowly merged into shadows."
"Individuality, self, they bear no meaning, hundreds of years pass, and no one will care about your individuality and memories, so for humans, emotions, bonds are all garbage. Unifying into one voice, advancing towards an infinite future of technological development is more like what humans should do."
"This is my benevolence, Fubuki—if not for my idea, darkness might only want to destroy humanity."
Fubuki listened to Fujiwara Yusuke's words, looked at him, his whole body stiffened, as if he was in shock.
