Chapter 749 The Fusion Department's Challenge (4K)

It's not surprising that such people appear.

As news of the KC Cup spread, people naturally began to focus their attention on the invited duelists.

The first page.

Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba, and as always, no Joey Wheeler, which is perfectly reasonable.

Looking at the second page, there are some famous "legendary duelists" such as Ryuzaki the Dinosaur and the Gravekeepers. These duelists are all very famous. Although we rarely see their duels anymore, because of their legend with the Duelist King, everyone can quickly accept that these duelists are invited duelists.

We've reached the third page.

Who?
Traveling to the city for ten generations, the light of the city is so accurate that it can be seen ten thousand feet away?
Only three people of their age received a special invitation!
Ryo Marufuji and Ed Phoenix were not selected as invited duelists?
Why?
They admitted that just seeing the names of these three people was enough to shut most of them up.

In particular, the mere sight of Jaden Yuki and Hikaru Amagi dispelled much of the resentment in many people's hearts.

It seems perfectly reasonable that they received special invitations.

But isn't it a bit too "excessive" that only the three of you among your peers received a special invitation?
Shouldn't people like Ryo Marufuji, Fubuki Tenjōin, and Ed Phoenix also be invited?

Some people are using this pretext to question Haima Automobile.

Kaima Corporation's answer was naturally simple—this was the person chosen by the president of Kaima Corporation, and if you disagree, you are welcome to challenge him.

Haima Automobile has always been like this.

Such an answer was exactly what those people wanted.

then.

A number of people who wanted to challenge the three of them, either to gain fame or to qualify, sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Moreover, this matter was very simple for them.

Because all three of these specially invited contestants are students from the Duel Academy and the Fusion Department!
Once you get to Duel Academy Island, just go directly to the Fusion Department and you can challenge them!
Very convenient!

Therefore, during this period, a large number of duelists with "connections" came to the Duel Academy headquarters, wanting to challenge Amagi Hikaru.

But it's not that simple!
Even though Amagi Hikaru hadn't made any preparations, and even though Manjoume hadn't done any design work, the members of the Fusion Department quickly and spontaneously organized specific tactics.

Want to challenge our ministers and deputy ministers?
OK!

As long as you can get past "us", then you can go see the minister and the others!
Otherwise, if even we ordinary members can't win, what right do you have to bother us?

The rules are also very simple.

Our Fusion Department has three floors. The department head and the others will be on the third floor during this period, either reading or studying decks. If you want to challenge them, just go up to the third floor and to the department head's office.

However, the "walking" here doesn't actually mean walking up to the top.

If you want to challenge the minister and his team, you'll have to defeat the members of the Fusion Department along the way when you go upstairs—but we're not asking you to be too hard on you. There are a lot of people in our Fusion Department, so we won't really use a human wave tactic against you. Two people on the first floor, one in the corridor, and one on the stairs.

Defeat them all, and then you'll be able to meet our minister.

Moreover, there is no time limit.

If you defeat someone today and are tired, you can take on the next opponent the next day. That makes sense, right?

At first, many people who came to take on the challenge were dismissive of it.

They all considered themselves duelists no less than Hikaru Amagi. If they dared to challenge even Hikaru Amagi, what did a bunch of ordinary Fusion Club members have to be afraid of?

But the facts will tell them.

Sometimes, don't oversimplify things.

This integration department isn't really a place where a bunch of people gather together to chat and brag every day.

Do you know how this Integration Department was established?!
Do you know where the members of the Fusion Department come from?!

Did you know that the Fusion Department was already at odds with the "Former Fusion Department" led by Akama Zero-oh when it was first established?

Do you know how many people the Fusion Department has saved in the Critical Dimension?
When the Darkness invasion began, how many otherworldly spirits did the Fusion Department fight against?
You don't know.

They only know how to judge people by their appearance!
In the Fusion Department, there are at least three people who have signed contracts with the Light and Light Path Spirits!
Among these duelists in the Fusion Division, there are several duelists who specialize in Ancient Mech decks. They receive occasional guidance from Hikaru Amagi and Professor Chronos, as well as additional cards given by Professor Chronos. Their strength is unmatched by ordinary duelists.

Aside from these ordinary members of the Fusion Department, there are also duelists who have gained the approval of Amagi Hikaru because of their outstanding battle records, achievements, and results, and thus have been granted the right to use the "Magical Toy" or the "Gaia Deck"!
Although they only gained the right to use specific decks, it doesn't mean they are weak with these decks. Some of them have even earned the approval of the Magic Toy Fairy and are the type who can completely take away the Magic Toy Fairy.

Even if——

Even if all these people can overcome it!

Within the Fusion Club, there is also "a mountain that ordinary people can never cross," "the mirror of the Fusion Club," and "the man who amazed Amagi Hikaru"—Kagurasaka.

For a while, Kagurazaka had been working as a regular receptionist.

But ever since the Darkness incident, ever since receiving guidance from Professor Cobra, and ever since "summoning the demon," his research and practice have skyrocketed like a rocket.

Some time ago, he took a leave of absence and let Amagi Hikaru work as the receptionist for a while.

At that time, Kagurazaka wasn't going out to play; it was a special final attempt.

In other words, it was the final test of "Summoning" that Professor Cobra had originally planned for him, which he was supposed to complete last semester.

He successfully summoned a "demon" that suited him, and his elven power surged.

Furthermore, given that his body had previously withstood the power of the "Dream Mirror," if you were to throw him into another dimension now, he would already be considered a qualified Spirit Duelist. Putting aside everything else, compared to the original work where he only had the ability to imitate but lacked the strength of a Spirit, Kagurazaka is now arguably the number one ordinary member of the Fusion Club.

A true "strongman," not counting those like Tiancheng and his ilk who had "opened up," ordinary people could no longer compare to this person.

Moreover, he possesses computational abilities comparable to—no, more accurately, superior to—those of the vast majority of challengers.

If we only consider deck control and disregard any elemental power or calculations, he is one of the very few exceptional talents who can use any deck at will. Even Amagi Hikaru's previous "Fusion Deck" can be used at 90% of its potential in Kagurazaka's hands—something that even Serena or Tiera cannot achieve.

With him as the "gatekeeper," not only can he drive away those arrogant ordinary duelists, but he can also hone his own dueling skills and make the "demonic power" he has just mastered even more compatible with himself, so he is very willing to do this.

Of course, there's one more thing.

He didn't want anyone to disturb Minister Amagi Hikaru, whom he respected the most.

If it weren't for Hikaru Amagi, he might still be seen as a clown by his classmates, someone who only knows how to imitate but doesn't know how to discover the soul of a deck. It was Hikaru Amagi's discerning eye and invitation that allowed him to shine brighter in the Fusion Club.

In conclusion, he certainly didn't want Amagi Hikaru's "critical moment" to be disturbed by outsiders.

However, there weren't actually many duelists who could actually reach him.

Many of those who come to take on the challenge are, in the end, people who haven't truly understood themselves.

They either want to become famous overnight, or they want to take crooked paths.

Little did they know that truly powerful duelists were not worried about being eliminated or failing to enter "Children City," so they had no need to compete for any "qualifications."

Don't you see, even Mr. Katsuya Jounouchi wasn't invited?

In some unknown dimension, the green-clad, blond-haired youth sneezed and cursed, "That damned seahorse, he deliberately excluded me again. Just wait, this KC Cup, I'll make you lose before you even encounter the game!"

Besides Kagurazaka, there was another person who was particularly concerned about this matter, and that was Serena, Hikaru Amagi's good apprentice.

Since learning about this, Serena, who had been confined to the Duel Academy and unable to go out and cause trouble, seemed to have been inspired and started spending her days in the Fusion Department waiting for people to come to her.

These challengers come from all over the world, and sometimes she can even see elves challenging the Fusion Division. Whenever such a "rare species" appears, Serena will decisively snatch the dueling rights from other members and then gleefully fight her opponent for three hundred rounds.

At times like these, those who come to challenge the spirits will inevitably doubt themselves.

What? What's going on? I can't even beat the first duelist on the first floor?!

Are the students in the Integration Department too amazing, or am I too weak, or is it because the outside world is developing so rapidly that I have fallen far behind?
As more than half a month passed, fewer and fewer people came to cause trouble for Amagi Hikaru and Lightning. After all, more than half a month had passed, and they hadn't even seen Amagi Hikaru's face. Most of the time, they couldn't even beat ordinary members of the Fusion Department, so it would be shameless for them to come and humiliate themselves again.

However, there are still some special duelists with connections who come to the Fusion Division.

It wasn't that they were determined to challenge Amagi Hikaru directly, but rather that they discovered that the students in the Fusion Department—and even the students in the Duel Academy—were indeed quite capable. To be honest, they were no weaker than some professional duelists, and each of them was very skilled.

Hikaru Amagi was unaware of their thoughts.

If I knew, I would definitely tell them to challenge the professors and teachers in various colleges.

Students certainly have their tasks, but compared to the professors' secret weapons, unique research, and extraordinary skills, they are nothing.

Otherwise, they'd be teachers.

Even Hikaru Amagi is only an expert in alchemy. If you compare him to the professors from last semester in their respective fields, he would be a clueless apprentice.

To this day, the work that Professor Paladin has produced remains a peak that Hikaru Amagi can never reach.

Regardless, in the eyes of these duelists and elves, this dueling academy is truly a very suitable place to hone their skills.

Anyway, this is just a leak of information. The preliminary rounds haven't even started yet. Judging from Kaiba Corporation's actions, it will take at least a year and a half before the Dimensional KC Cup can be officially held. In that case, why not take this opportunity to hone your skills at the Duel Academy and Fusion Department?
If one day he suddenly realizes something and actually fights Amagi Hikaru, then at the very least he'll have fought against a "specially invited contestant".

But in any case, Duel Academy has calmed down once again.

During these nearly two months, Amagi Hikaru did do some things.

First, Amagi Hikaru naturally goes to the Imprint Dimension from time to time to help the elves there deal with some "mutated elves" that they can't handle. In addition to collecting cards, he also uses Tiera's power to repair the dimension.

Then comes something even more important.

Hikaru Amagi and Fubuki-senpai went to the "mountain".

Just like Fubuki-senpai had prepared before, he was about to say goodbye to the little guys in the mountain. Many of the little spirits were a little reluctant to part with Fubuki, but compared to them, Amagi Hikaru was also very reluctant to part with Tenjouin Fubuki.

In just over a month, this semester will end, and it will be graduation season.

At that time, Tenjouin Fubuki might be even harder to find than Yuki Jaden.

Because Judai might spend a long time in each dimension to achieve his goal, while Tenjouin Fubuki might just randomly take a couple of photos in one dimension and then move on to another simply because he likes it.

By then, it will be difficult to see this reliable and caring senior again.

Fubuki had complete confidence in Amagi Hikaru. He estimated that no one in the Duel Academy was more reliable than Amagi Hikaru, and he also made it clear that there was no need to be too sad.

Although I'm not particularly interested in "King of Duels," I'd definitely still participate in this kind of competition. Even if it doesn't broaden my horizons, just taking photos on the sidelines would be a huge bonus. If I could manage to get a spot in the top 16 to take photos, I don't know how much attention I'd get.

At that moment, on the mountain, Fubuki took out a card and told Amagi Hikaru to keep it safe.

The moment Amagi Hikaru saw the card, his eyes widened.

A true red-eyed black dragon!
A genuine "Legendary Card" is ten or even a hundred times more valuable than the so-called "Legendary Card" of "Flame Swordsman".

Even so-called "legendary rare cards" like Flame Swordsman and Dragon Destroyer Swordsman are occasionally reissued, but Red-Eyes Black Dragon is a card that is truly impossible to obtain through regular channels!

Tenjouin Fubuki gave Amagi Hikaru a gift!
"Senior Fubuki, this..."

“I’ve decided to use this deck.” Tenjouin Fubuki gently patted the deck at her waist, and a slight gust of wind could be heard. “Besides, I’ve always felt that it might be more useful in your hands than in mine.”

"Wouldn't it be better to follow you to a bigger stage than to let yourself tarnish under my watch?"

Amagi Hikaru hesitated for a moment, then Tenjouin chuckled, reached out and patted Amagi Hikaru's shoulder. His playful smile seemed so serious.

In the end, Hikaru Amagi stopped refusing and accepted the gift with all her heart—a gift of blessing and expectation.
