Chapter 714 The Foundation of the Duel (4K, please vote with monthly tickets~)

After the duel ended, Marufuji Sho couldn't hold on and fell forward.

Just at this time.

"Stand up."

When Marufuji Ryo's voice reached his ears, it was as if it had a magical power, making Marufuji Sho, who had felt completely powerless, stand still once again.

"Uh—" Beside him, Tianbei Si, who should have left long ago, was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

Is this still the same man?

This……

Marufuji Ryo took a few steps forward, looked at his younger brother who was much shorter than him, and slowly raised his hand.

Marufuji Sho instinctively closed his eyes and shrank his head slightly. The next second, Marufuji Ryo gently placed his hand on his shoulder.

"You've grown up, Xiang. I'm so proud of you."

Marufuji Sho's eyes widened suddenly as he looked up at Marufuji Ryo. Although he was wearing a mask, he could see the look of satisfaction in his brother's eyes and his undisguised smile.

Just like Marufuji Sho, who doubted himself and even became confused.

Ryo Marufuji has also encountered entirely new problems.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been a perfect child.

He was smarter and more precocious than his younger brother, and he was exposed to dueling earlier than his brother. He would teach his brother how to duel and even pass on the "Power Combination" technique passed down in their family to his brother.

But looking back, it all seems a bit confusing.

As a duelist, he has teachers, masters in dojos, and countless fellow disciples with whom he can exchange ideas, learn from each other, and make up for each other's shortcomings.

But as the "older brother," he had absolutely no experience.

No one is born a duelist, just as no parent or sibling is born knowing how to be a good elder.

When Marufuji Sho was a child, he saw Sho fight against the person who bullied him, and then the person used a power combination. So he stopped Marufuji Sho. Although he gave him instructions on how to use the power combination, he did not tell him how to use the power combination again.

Because he was worried that Marufuji Sho's skill level wouldn't be up to Judai's level, he also told Marufuji Sho not to go on adventures in other dimensions with Judai, in case something went wrong.

These details became a knot in Marufuji Sho's heart. These were things he thought were caring, but in reality, he did them very poorly. It wasn't until he went to Duel Academy that he was able to untie them with the help of Jaden and many others.

He is indeed a perfect student, and even now many people call him a perfect duelist, but as a human being, he is still too young.

Even during his time at Duel Academy, he actually cared more about Jaden Yuki and Hikaru Amagi than his younger brother.

Among them, Hikaru Amagi impressed him even more, as his talent far surpassed that of ordinary people, even far exceeding his own.

It was through his interactions with Hikaru Amagi that he gradually realized that what he considered to be the "perfect duelist" was actually not perfect at all.

He was far less meticulous than Amagi Hikaru in terms of consequences, costs, everything, and even in matters of being an older brother.

result……

His younger brother had grown up to such an extent that he could not see it.

If he hadn't been worried about himself and wanted to "wake himself up"... he would have definitely realized the real winning strategy, but as a result, he missed the opportunity due to a slight mistake.

but--

It is enough.

He was already a duelist capable of standing on his own, and even at his age, he wasn't as good as Xiang.

In that case, then... let the sky's the limit.

After the duel ended, Tenjouin Fubuki, Misawa, and the others quickly surrounded Marufuji Ryo, bombarding him with all sorts of questions.

For example, how come you didn't lose your memory? When did you remember? Why didn't you contact your teachers and friends?

Marufuji Ryo was somewhat embarrassed, but he still forced a show of arrogance and said that since he had already participated in the duel, nothing else mattered.

He only respects victory!

Tenjouin Fubuki was so angry he laughed. He rolled up his sleeves, his eyes not very friendly, and muttered, "Ryo, I think you need a lesson. Come on, you want to win, right? Now, right now, let's duel! Let me tell you, I've been training quite a bit lately and have gained some support from new friends."

In terms of pure strength, Marufuji Ryo and Tenjouin Fubuki are about the same.

But in fact——

If we're comparing "energy," it's uncertain whether Marufuji Ryo or Fubuki is superior.

This sounds strange, because Marufuji Ryo has at least obtained a unique deck for this world, and with the boost from the Big Dipper, he is easily stronger than an ordinary person like Tenjouin Fubuki.

But that's not actually how it works.

Since Amagi Hikaru, Jaden, and countless companions defeated Darkness, Tenjouin Fubuki has actually gained a completely new liberation.

Just like Ella favors Yangdou and Yudou, not because their names both contain the character "dou," but because they can easily accept the immense power of despair.

Tenjouin Fubuki, on the other hand, is a natural synonym for darkness.

Darkness, which restricted Tenjouin Fubuki from using Red-Eyes Black Dragon, is now completely dead. From now on, Tenjouin Fubuki is the real "person with the most Red-Eyes Black Dragons" in the world, and can use her deck at full power without getting hurt again.

Moreover, on top of what he already had, the blessing he received from the "divine bird" became even more powerful afterward, making him increasingly famous in the "mountain" dimension, and even attracting invitations from many elves to visit their dimension.

In terms of "dueling power" alone, Tenjouin Fubuki is far ahead of her peers, and even Marufuji Ryo can only be considered second.

If he says he's going to fight, then it definitely won't just be a duel; it will absolutely be a full-blown brawl.

"Ha... Fubuki, I'm really looking forward to our rematch." Marufuji Ryo couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to Fubuki's words. "I haven't had a chance to fight you since the GX tournament."

Now, another opportunity has presented itself.

Marufuji Ryo showed no fear. He looked directly at Tenjouin Fubuki, a smirk playing on his lips, and said, "If you're so eager to participate, then give it a try. I'll beat you in the main tournament!"

"Are you still going to participate in WRGP?" Falcon couldn't help but ask.

"What, are you going to give up halfway?" he retorted.

The falcon hesitated for a moment, then snorted coldly.

Although they had their own things to do, they had already communicated with Kaito and the others through Hikaru Amagi, so they weren't in a hurry to return to the Xyz Dimension. Therefore, given his personality, he wouldn't easily leave such a tournament.

As a duelist, one must have the spirit of steel and the will of iron; how can one give up halfway!

On the other side, Daichi Misawa hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

No matter what, giving up halfway is still inappropriate.

Moreover, the duelists in the WRGP tournament are all very strong. He has been slacking off for almost half a year. If he doesn't take this opportunity to work hard, he will fall even further behind his classmates and friends.

Seeing that his teammates had no objections, Yudou sighed softly and did not refuse.

That's fine too.

Liuli didn't leave either, and judging from her appearance, she probably wanted to watch all the duels. If that's the case, then the longer she stays here, the better.

"Brother?" Marufuji Sho still couldn't accept it.

The students from Duel Academy came to this dimension with the goal of finding Daichi Misawa and Ryo Marufuji. They have now found the two, but they are both refusing to leave.

After a moment's hesitation, he didn't dwell on it. It was perfectly normal for duelists to uphold their beliefs; since his brother wanted to participate, then so be it.

"I really look forward to seeing you on the field, Sho," Marufuji Ryo said as his last words.

After saying that, he turned to leave—he and his teammates were in a different lounge, responsible for another team's "investors," and it was time to go back.

It also allows you to escape the snowstorm at Tenjouin.

Even now, Fubuki is still very dissatisfied with his behavior.

So what if you're going to participate? It's not a big deal. Why didn't you let us know you were safe beforehand?

Marufuji Ryo didn't mention that he only remembered it a couple of days ago, and that he'd been busy organizing his memories and summarizing his experiences, so he hadn't had time. For him, explaining was pointless; silence was the best policy.

“Wait a minute, Caesar,” Hikaru Amagi called out.

Caesar stopped and turned to look at Amagi Hikaru.

If Amagi Hikaru wants to ask something, that's a different story.

Then he'll have time all at once.

"Have you seen anything strange during this time?"

Amagi Hikaru asked.

He believed that Caesar, with his intelligence, should be able to understand what he was saying.

Upon hearing this, Caesar pondered for a moment, and the image of that enormous, dark red giant flashed through his mind.

"Um……"

He made a connection.

Is it the 5DS team?

He nodded: "The goal of Team 5DS is to connect everything, right?"

Hikaru Amagi responded, "That's right."

"Then it's very simple."

He pointed to the dueling arena next to him: "This exchange duel was not recorded by drones, nor was it broadcast to the audience of the whole world. It is simply an exchange duel initiated by our dimension."

"Light, that's probably why the other members of your team didn't come."

Ultimately, everyone who comes here is from the "fusion dimension".

This is about their dimensional fusion, and although it's a small matter encompassed within the larger event of the Synchro Dimension, its essence remains unchanged.

Marufuji Ryo raised his head slightly, then turned around and said, "In this month, you can indeed make contact with countless teams, and even get many teams to support you and withdraw from the subsequent duels."

but--

Some things simply cannot be stopped.

Ryo Marufuji was the most knowledgeable person in the City Hall team. He glanced at Yuto, Hayabusa, and Daichi Misawa, then looked at Hikaru Amagi and said, "Hikaru, if you want to gain the team's approval and the permission of that great being to personally meet him, you must complete the most important and fundamental thing for a duelist."

"...Victory?" Amagi Hikaru asked.

"That's right! Light!"

Ryo Marufuji clenched his fist, his aura rising, and a strange little whirlwind appeared out of nowhere in the room. He looked at Hikaru Amagi, then at the broadcast camera, and calmly said, "Whether it's an ideal, a belief, whether it's to save the world, or for happiness, for children, for the future, for everything..."

To that being, these are merely minor branches.

As a duelist, there is one thing you must do well before facing these countless branches.

That is—a duel!!

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What He wants to test... is the basic ability of a duelist."

The most basic skills!
Setting aside all other factors, a duel must always have a winner and a loser.

Regardless of ideology or identity, if we consider it purely from the perspective of a "game," a game must have winners and losers.

The red dragon that once affected half of Marufuji Ryo's memories does not want to "communicate" with 5DS because they are still unable to communicate with it!

Before anything else even begins, at least... you have to win!

"I see……"

Hikaru Amagi lowered his head and muttered to himself, "So, you have to win the championship, right?"

Marufuji nodded.

He then turned and left without saying anything more.

Seeing him leave, having watched the entire show, but having lost to the sullen Seahorse, he finally spoke.

Now that Caesar and Misawa have been found, Duel Academy no longer needs to worry too much and can travel or play in this dimension with peace of mind. As the captain of the Fusion Dimension Team, he now needs to go back and discuss things with the other team members.

Marufuji Sho and Tenjouin Fubuki were stunned for a moment. Fubuki reacted quickly and kept thanking Mokuma, even apologizing from time to time, such as how their performance was not good and it affected the team's results.

Although such words wouldn't actually make Muma happy, he was at least less unhappy.

He was definitely not happy about losing to someone from another dimension right after finally participating in the competition.

Now that the Duel Academy's search for people is finally over, he needs to go back and have a good talk with Dinosaur Ryuzaki and the two members of the Gravekeeper Clan.

The intensity of the duel is a bit high; it seems like he might not be able to participate.

Fortunately, he specifically mentioned before coming that it was an exchange competition, so the entire duel was not broadcast live by drones. Only people from the Fusion Dimension could watch the broadcast. Otherwise, wouldn't the crucial Fusion Team have been disqualified from this duel?
Seeing that Marufuji Ryo had completely left, Amagi Hikaru chatted with his other friends for a while, then looked at Misawa Daichi and couldn't help but tease him a couple of times.

"Why is it that Caesar can regain his memory on his own, but you need me to save you?" Misawa Daichi's face turned as red as a tomato as he searched for reasons and excuses, and the whole room was filled with cheerful laughter.

But beyond that.

Hikaru Amagi was actually thinking about something else.

That is—"Red Dragon" was surprisingly easy to talk to than he had imagined.

He didn't expect that the Red Dragon wouldn't do anything to Caesar after he regained his memories; instead, it explained some details to him.

From Caesar's reply, it's clear that he was also aware of the "one God" situation in this world.

Clearly, although the Negative Red Dragon is a "negative red dragon," it seems to still be the basic form of the gods in this synchronized dimension—far more friendly to humans than humans imagine.

The Red Dragon doesn't seem to be the kind of god who wants to destroy the world.

that……

There's a strange point here.

Why is it that the City Hall team, which symbolizes the true pinnacle of the Synchro Dimension "City", doesn't have a single local from the Synchro Dimension?
Was it an accident, or... deliberately chosen?

He thought for two seconds and then gave up.

Forget it, let Yusei and the others figure it out. He doesn't have much left to do in this world, so he can take a short break and do his own thing.
