Chapter 737 Competition - Cross-Dimensional (4K)

Hikaru Amagi wasn't entirely clear about the carefully selected dimensions that Professor Chronos referred to.

After all, Amagi Hikaru had not received any prior notice before leading the middle school students to the principal's office.

Given the relationship between Hikaru Amagi and Professor Chronos, if this special dimension really needed Jaden to find help, Professor Chronos would have called long ago—no, he should have sent Hikaru Amagi directly to the principal's office during the preparation phase.

Therefore, Hikaru Amagi guessed that he might also be one of those who were taken there on Professor Chronos's whim.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Hikaru Amagi is, after all, the academy's representative and Professor Chronos's "disciple," so it is only natural that he would take charge of this matter.

At this point, Hikaru Amagi even felt that Professor Chronos was smarter than before.

Because he discovered that the textbook he was studying this semester, written by Professor Chronos, was not actually a spur-of-the-moment decision by the professor. Just like today, after the meeting, the middle school students went to his special classroom, where Hikaru Amagi and Daichi Misawa were acting as temporary "lecturers" to teach the middle school students some courses related to dimensions.

Honestly, this is perfect for Amagi Hikaru, Misawa, and Tenjouin Fubuki.

When Hikaru Amagi teaches, he reviews while explaining, which is his specialty, "drawing inferences from one instance to another." After he explains something, students can review it and learn something new, making their knowledge feel more solid.

Tenjouin Fubuki is very good at interacting with children, and she is also very handsome. If she didn't want to travel to another dimension in the future, she would be a perfect person to be a teacher.

Of the three, he is the most important, especially Daichi Misawa.

In addition to training these middle school students according to the textbook and their needs, he also had to explain how he "disappeared" in the superdimensional dimension.

Although Daichi Misawa was a little embarrassed and awkward, he had to admit that as someone who had experienced it firsthand, he was indeed suitable to give an explanation.

Misawa Daichi even summarized several special precautions, the most important of which is—don't go watching other people duel when you have nothing better to do.

Too dangerous!

"The Hyperdimension is a world completely different from ours, where there is severe racial hatred between races!"

"Eh----"

"Is it the Black/White type? This Xyz Dimension is way too much—"

“No, not that kind.” Daichi Misawa tapped the blackboard with his pointer. “In fact, in the Hyperdimension, there is a special kind of life that is completely different from humans, not even one, but two.”

"Eh?!?? Elves? Orcs—there are…"

"Don't overthink it." Misawa crossed his arms and sighed helplessly. "Just like elves, in the Hyperdimension, there are two kinds of humanoid intelligent beings that are different from humans but also possess intelligence. One of them is extremely hostile to humans, and what's more dangerous is that this race can even disguise itself as humans. So in that dimension, don't go looking for trouble. Just focus on your studies at the academy."

The most painful lesson learned in Misawa is that one should not join in the fun.

He was just watching other people duel out of boredom when he got caught up in it, accidentally entered the Synchro Dimension, and then had his memories erased by the Red Dragon...

The whole process was like a one-stop service. If he hadn't talked to Yuma for a while later and analyzed that being involved in the dimension was not "accidental" but most likely the work of the Goddess of Despair, he probably would have thought he was just unlucky.

But ultimately—

It was entirely his own fault for courting disaster back then.

Of course.

He also knew that such words were just empty talk; those who truly loved dueling, no matter how clear they were about what they shouldn't do, would still be unable to resist when faced with the situation.

He knew very well that no matter how nicely he said it, he would still watch if there was a cool duel like that next time.

It's hard to resist.

However, these kinds of words still need to be taught to the younger students.

He was a duelist who possessed multiple spirits and had experienced many events, yet he still failed and missed the battle against Darkness. These people in front of him hadn't even experienced dimensional travel...

Too dangerous.

The course ended quickly, since Haima Corporation would have special training courses later. Not all of these junior high school students could go to the Hyperdimension; basic training would suffice—they would still need to determine the top eight later.

The written test only accounts for 30% of the score!

Early the next morning, Hikaru Amagi was ready, and Jaden, unusually, didn't sleep in.

"Hahaha————" Jaden stretched and yawned. Not far away, Saotome Rei was still swooning over her crush.

Hikaru Amagi waited for a while, but instead of Professor Chronos, other teachers told him that he could lead his juniors and Jaden to the dimensional teleportation.

"Huh? Isn't Professor Chronos going to handle this personally?" Jaden asked, somewhat puzzled.

Given Professor Chronos's personality, he would definitely be there the whole time, afraid that any student might get hurt, and that he would be distracted by other things.

It seems that being a school principal is quite troublesome, with so much work to do every day.

He gazed at the top of the Duel Academy tower, and for a moment he felt somewhat dazed.

He suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for that night when the professor seized every opportunity to sabotage him and tried every means to expel him from the school, for that professor who, no matter when, would always call him a "bad student," instead of the current principal who was overwhelmed by heavy workloads...

On the other side, Hikaru Amagi frowned slightly, a thought flashing through his mind. Beside him, Tyella was bored and didn't react.

Tiera has never shown any reaction or interest in humans other than Hikaru Amagi, unless something is really outrageous or she happens to be fighting Hikaru Amagi, otherwise she won't think about the details.

Amagi Hikaru thought for a moment, then nodded without saying anything, "Okay."

He then turned around and called to his classmates and teachers to walk together.

Unlike when Hikaru Amagi enrolled, due to the GX tournament, Duel Academy now has a brand new and more luxurious "Dimensional Train" system—which is also the biggest "legacy" left by Principal Samejima.

While dimensional trains are not as convenient as dimensional portals and can be used at any time, they are more stable and safer, and will not cause accidental teleportation.

The downside is that it's not as "arbitrary" as a dimensional portal. Although dimensional trains can transport a large number of people, a dimensional passage must be built on the other side first. They can only be transported within a recorded dimension, and they cannot even ride with other people. If another vehicle goes to a certain dimension and does not leave, the dimensional train cannot be used because there is a high probability of a collision, which is higher than 80%!

It has both advantages and disadvantages.

The latter point is something that Manjoume couldn't figure out how to improve even after racking his brains—but fortunately, he wasn't specifically responsible for research and development within the Manjoume Group, so he could let others rack their brains while he focused on the duel.

"What's the name of the dimension we're going to?" Once on the bus, Jaden suddenly seemed to have a thought and quickly asked this question.

Hikaru Amagi picked up the card, pressed it against the dimensional portal in front of the car, and raised an eyebrow as he looked at the words displayed on the machine.

Just as he guessed.

"Competition - Cross Dimensions," said Hikaru Amagi and Jaden.

"Eh! Ohhhhh!!! It sounds really exciting!" Judai felt his blood boil the moment he heard the name.

It sounds like some kind of arena; there might be some interesting opponents.

"Alright, everyone, please find a seat." Hikaru Amagi said, gesturing for the students and teachers to sit down as the train countdown began.

Even Teacher Lin Guo was a little nervous at this moment.

Although she is a teacher, she is a full-time teacher who graduated from the Duel Academy. She has never been a professional duelist, nor has she ever participated in dimensional travel. Therefore, this dimensional travel is actually her first time.

Moreover, the fact that her first dimensional trip would be with a super famous duelist like Hikaru Amagi was incredibly exciting. "Teacher, your thoughts are written all over your face," a student couldn't help but remind her.

"Teachers hate students as perceptive as you the most~~" Lin Guo smiled and put on a friendly face at the student.

As the time drew to a close, a warning sounded in the vehicle, instructing the students to sit in their seats and fasten their seatbelts to prevent injury caused by the time-space turbulence.

Hikaru Amagi set an example by quickly fastening his seatbelt. Seeing that Hikaru was wearing a seatbelt, Ms. Hayashi felt confident enough to tell the students to do the same. Immediately afterward, the train doors on both sides slammed shut. Ahead, the dimensional portal flickered with strange rainbow colors, followed by a rumbling roar from the train. Through the windows, the younger students saw the outside world instantly transform into a spectacle of flowing light.

"Wow--"

A few people sitting near the window instinctively opened their mouths and exclaimed in admiration.

The kaleidoscope-like scenery was indeed quite beautiful, but Amagi Hikaru had seen it so many times that he had gotten used to it.

Moreover, he was even clearer about another point—

"Well……"

Several children were clearly uncomfortable, so Hikaru Amagi quickly told them to turn around, close their eyes, and not look at the scenery outside.

These student sprites have very low adaptability, most likely only 1 to 2 stars. Although the Dimensional Train can effectively allow them to travel between dimensions, if they care too much about the outside world, they are likely to develop "dimensional vertigo," which is similar to motion sickness.

When the train arrived at the station, Hikaru Amagi waited for a minute or two before getting up, looking at the students around him, and asking them how they were doing.

Although some students felt unwell, most of them managed to get through it.

Seeing this, Amagi Hikaru didn't give them any further warnings.

As duelists, we must have the spirit of not giving up. Even if we haven't experienced dimensional teleportation, we still need to show our necessary aura.

On the other side, seeing that his juniors were all okay, Judai took the lead and rushed off the train.

"Come on!! Let me see what kind of opponents this dimension has!!" He was somewhat excited.

For him, it would be very interesting to challenge a powerful figure from another dimension at the last moment.

"Wait for me, Judai-sama—" Saotome Rei struggled to unbuckle her seatbelt and prepared to chase after him.

However, not long after she finished speaking, a loud explosion occurred not far away, and the next second, a small mushroom cloud appeared directly outside the window where Judai had jumped out and shouted.

"Aaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!" Saotome Rei screamed, covering her face with both hands.

She was almost scared to death!
"interesting!"

Amidst her and all the middle school students and teachers' anxieties, Judai's voice emerged from the thick smoke.

The next second, the smoke cleared, and they saw Judai with his hands supporting him in front of him, his crimson school uniform fluttering in the wind like a cape or cloak.

"Phew—" Many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Too scary!

Jaden's eyes flashed with a golden light on one side and a green eerie light on the other. He had an excited smile on his face as he looked around. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw a brown figure in the distance.

It was a very huge and cool-looking mechanical dragon. Although it was a mechanical dragon, it didn't have that high-tech futuristic feel. Instead, it was full of ancient textures. It had some things that looked like "energy tubes" on its body, and its wings looked vaguely damaged.

"Wow!!! So cool!" Jaden cheered excitedly.

"Infinite Machine Dragon Cano Cycle Dragon. Machine-type monster." Hikaru Amagi explained to all the students at the right time, then picked up a camera on the train and pressed some buttons in the carriages. A moment later, all the viewing screens in the entire carriage began to descend.

"Teacher Lin Guo, please keep an eye on everyone."

"Huh?" Teacher Lin Guo was a little confused.

The next second, she saw that Judai had already run out in the distance, leaping several times, ignoring the abyss in front of him, and crossing the broken road and the log bridge.

Saotome Rei tried to catch up, but several puppet strings flew out from all directions and tied her to her seat. Then, Amagi Hikaru also got off the train. With Amagi Hikaru's help, the train doors closed automatically. Then, to everyone's surprise, Amagi Hikaru calmly held the camera and rushed out with Judai at lightning speed.

On the other side, when the Infinite Dragon saw Jaden Yuki chasing after it, it flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

"Wait!" Jaden didn't know what was going on in this dimension, but he certainly wouldn't let such a "greeting gift" go, so he put in even more effort and chased after them.

However, this clearly fell into the trap set by the "master" here.

Inside the train, many middle school students instinctively covered their eyes with their hands, and Saotome Rei was trembling with fear.

In the scene, the ground collapses, rocks fall from the sky, and walls suddenly crack open, revealing terrifying, rapidly spinning blades. Each time, Jaden narrowly avoids them, but after each escape, a new trap awaits him.

"Is the other dimension really that dangerous?" A junior student asked, his face turning pale with fright.

To be honest, even Lin Guo was terrified and felt cold all over, let alone ordinary students. If it were just watching movies, TV series, or horror movies, they would be scared, but that is not reality.

But this is a very real reality, and it's not far from them!
Several first-year middle school students were so frightened that they cried out with tears in their eyes, begging the teacher to return to the academy first.

However, some students, watching this exaggerated scene, couldn't help but mutter, "How could Senior Amagi be able to chase Senior Yuuki all the way and still steadily hold the camera while stepping over the traps?"

This statement made many people realize what was going on.

Is this kind of thing normal in the eyes of them, these interdimensional travelers?
Does this mean they'll have to face this kind of risk frequently from now on?

Finally, amidst their worry and fear, Jaden broke free of the trap zone and faced the Infinite Dragon once more. The Infinite Dragon took a deep breath, and then golden light shot out from its mouth. Jaden's pupils contracted slightly, and then he shouted, "Nyos!"

A strong white warrior appeared before him, mimicking his movements by placing his hands in front of him to block all the attacks.

As the golden torrent dissipated, the infinite mechanical dragon's body gradually became ethereal, and a tall figure strode out.

He wore heavy armor, with a duel disk with a brown-painted shell hanging on his chest, and a mask, looking at Jaden.

"Are you the boss here?" Judai's eyes lit up.

Hikaru Amagi took a moment to find a seat and sat down.

"Yuki Judai, I've heard your story."

"Oh!?" Judai instantly became alert.

If he was just fighting for fun before, he instantly became serious when he heard his opponent say his name and his story. The smile on his face gradually faded, and he became very earnest.

This left Saotome Rei, who had been frequently reminiscing about her duel with Judai over the past year, somewhat bewildered and at a loss.

The Judai she knew was not like that.

What happened in the past year or so?
Ahead, the mysterious figure pressed the Duel Disk on his chest, which automatically unfolded. He then opened his arms and said to Jaden, "If you lose, you will have to continue your studies in this dimension!"

"Are they going to lock me up here? Could it be the enemy of the Overlord..." Judai muttered to himself, but he couldn't find the person in front of him in the Overlord's memories.

But no matter what, he wouldn't refuse a duel.

"Duel!" X2.
