Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

The fun, excitement, and longing I felt when I saw those scenes have now turned into fear and despair.

As Soreva slowly raised his left hand, which was adorned with the Duel Disk, and tapped the familiar symbol on the Duel Disk, white light gradually emanated from it. Amidst his despair, Soreva even felt a sliver of... relief.

"Sorry……"

With a murmur, Su Liang closed her eyes and suddenly felt a sharp pain before losing consciousness completely.

Chapter 80: The Unsealed Boy, The Match He Couldn't Witness

"Wow!!!"

Consciousness returned from the darkness, and the light blue-haired boy sat bolt upright in bed with a start, as if he had just experienced a nightmare. Looking at the sunlight streaming through the window and reflecting off his palm, the boy muttered to himself:

"I-am I still alive?"

"Of course you're still alive."

The boy instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw the man who should have been sealing him away in the alleyway smiling as he walked towards him, carrying something in his hand, which he then tossed towards him.

How does it feel to be alive?

He hurriedly caught the bag that Soreva threw to him, opened it, and found that it contained a bag of bread and a carton of milk. It seemed that this was his breakfast.

Faced with Soreva's question, Sora clenched his fists, then tore open the bread packaging and took a big bite.

As the aroma of wheat from the bread and the sweetness of the cream spread slowly in her mouth, Su Liang's eyes were already filled with tears. She wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word.

After several chews, Su Liang finally swallowed the bread in her mouth, and then, with tears streaming down her face, she murmured:

"Being alive... is good, really good..."

Seeing that Sora was so excited that she was incoherent, Soreva stepped forward, ruffled Sora's hair, and said:

“That’s right, it’s good to be alive, so everyone wants to live. Su Liang-kun, do you still think that arbitrarily depriving others of the opportunity to live, like in the dimensional fusion, is really the right thing to do?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Soreva, the dimensional fusion was wrong, and so was I. We shouldn’t have taken other people’s lives like this, and I shouldn’t have…”

Listening to Suyunin's tearful account, Soreva didn't know if he genuinely admitted his mistake or was just putting on an act. He simply ruffled Suyunin's hair, comforted him for a few moments, and told him to focus on recovering today before leaving the room.

But the instant Soreva stepped out of the room, he heard the sound of a falcon in his ear:

"I really didn't expect that you would let him go in the end. When I saw you at the time, I really thought you were going to seal him in the card."

Looking left and right at Hayabusa and Yuto, who stood like two guardian deities at the entrance, Soleva smiled and said:

"Aren't you all the same? Sora-kun is someone who has merged dimensions, right? I thought you would disagree with me letting Sora go for now and insist on sealing him in a card. What, you've softened your hearts too?"

Upon hearing Soreva's teasing remark, Falcon's face immediately darkened.

"Hmph, who's soft-hearted?! I just have some questions I want to ask him, don't flatter yourself!"

"Yes, yes, I was just being presumptuous. If you have any questions, take this opportunity to ask them. You also have an official competition that Yuzu has booked for you to participate in, so don't forget or be late."

Watching Soleva wave and turn his back to the two as he left, Hayabusa immediately snorted and called out to Yuto:

"Yuto, let's go in. Hopefully, we can get information about Ruri's whereabouts from this guy inside."

"Ok!"

........................

Meanwhile, Soleva has arrived at the LDS arena. The upcoming match will be the official battle between Yuya Sakaki and Sawatari, which is also Sawatari's self-proclaimed revenge match.

"Ah, Professor Soreva, you've come too."

As the one who introduced this official match, Soreva wasn't surprised to see Mitsutsu Masumi watching from around the arena. He nodded and responded to Masumi's greeting:

"Hmm, Masumi-kun, you look good. You should remember what I told you last night, right? If you're interested, be prepared when you come to Yushojuku this afternoon."

"Yes, I understand."

Seeing how seriously Mitsutsu Masumi took Soleva's suggestion, Shijima Hokuto, who always acted with her, and Toudou Jin from the Synchronization Department also came over:

"Hey, Masumi, why are you so respectful to the teacher of such a small, run-down private school as Yushojuku?"

Seeing Hokuto Shijima's rude manner, Masumi Mitsutsu immediately rolled her eyes at him:

"A small, run-down private school? Don't forget, you were defeated by students from such a small, run-down private school. Don't underestimate Yousheng Academy."

After being rebuked like that, Hokuto Shijima instantly turned red with anger and started arguing with Masumi Mitsutsu:

"It was just an accident! In the next match, I'll be Yuya Sakaki's official opponent! I'll definitely beat him to a pulp! Besides, didn't you also lose to a student from Yushojuku? Aren't you angry?"

"Hmph, I'm not as stingy as you."

"you!"

Seeing that the argument between the two was getting more and more heated, Daotang Ren silently picked up his bamboo sword and gently tapped each of them on the head:

"Alright! We're all friends, why are we arguing? I believe that Masumi must have her reasons for respecting that teacher at Yushojuku so much, right?"

Seeing that Toudou Rin had stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, Mitsu Masumi also suppressed her anger towards Shijima Hokuto, simply snorted, and turned her head away.

However, Daotang Ren, knowing Mitsutsu Masumi's temperament well, felt that there must be a reason why Mitsutsu Masumi respected Soleva so much, even going so far as to argue with Shijima Hokuto over it. He immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice:

"Masumi, I believe there's a reason why you respect that teacher so much. Can you tell me?"

Seeing that Todo was actually willing to investigate the reason behind it, Mitsutsu Masumi was surprised, but still whispered to Todo:

"Firstly, that teacher Soreva is very strong in duels; even the person who attacked teacher Mark was no match for him. Secondly, he said he could provide me with brand new Gem Knight cards."

"hiss……"

Upon hearing what Mitsutsu Masumi said, Toudou Jin couldn't help but gasp.

Putting aside the fact that they are strong in dueling, the fact that Soleva can provide new cards for Gem Knight is enough to surprise Blade. After all, in Mai-Ani City, only Lion Company has the ability to provide new dueling cards.

In that case, wouldn't Soreva's background be comparable to that of Lion Corporation?

Just then, Soreva seemed to hear their discussion, turned around, and gestured for them to be quiet:

"Keep your voice down a bit, the match is about to start, and it looks pretty interesting."

Seeing Sakaki Yuya's opponent, Sawatari, dressed as an ancient ronin, and the action arena that looked like an abandoned ancient battlefield, as if it were set up to match him, Soleva instantly became interested.

If this deck was created to complement the setup of that guy named Zetsu, then it seems the deck he's using this time isn't the Hyotei deck we saw last time. What kind of deck could it be? It's certainly something to look forward to.

Unfortunately, just as Soleva rose up to see how Sawatari and Yuya Sakaki would put on their duel, a bodyguard in a suit walked towards him:

"Sir, our chairman and president would like to invite you."

Chapter 81 A Little Shock to Each Other

"Ms. Akaba Himika, President Akaba Reiji, we meet again."

Following the bodyguard in a suit to the office located on a higher floor of LDS, Soreva greeted Akaba Himika and Akaba Reiji, who were already waiting in the room.

However, to Soreva's surprise, the two men sitting in this spacious office were now facing a television, which was showing the duel between Yuya Sakaki and a man named Sawatari.

"Oh? You've arrived, Mr. Sorewa?"

Upon hearing Soleva's voice, Akaba Reiji nodded in the direction of the sound as Soleva entered the office.

"Mr. Soleva, would you like to come and watch the duel between Yuya Sakaki and Sawatari? This time, Sawatari is using the Pendulum Deck that our Lion Company and LDS have jointly developed. Mr. Soleva, why don't you guess what deck he's using?"

Upon hearing Reiji Akaba's question, Soreva tilted his head and looked at the scene playing on the television.

To be honest, he didn't know many pendulum decks, since very few people used pendulum decks in Mega Drive.

However, the distinctly Japanese style of the venue and the location reminded Soreva of a deck he had seen before, although he had never seen the pendulum component of that deck in the N/R Cup at the time:

"[Demon Beast] deck?"

Upon hearing Soleva pronounce the name accurately, Akaba Reiji's expression instantly froze. He simply couldn't understand why Soleva knew about this, which was clearly the latest achievement of LDS and Lion Corporation.

But he quickly realized what was happening and nodded, saying:

"That's right, it's the [Yo-Senmon] deck. Mr. Soreva is really amazing, he even recognizes our latest research card."

Soreva could easily sense the strong suspicion in her words, but he couldn't explain it! So, he could only manage a wry smile.

"President Akama Reiji is too kind."

Hearing Soleva's words, which he had barely managed to squeeze out due to his frustration, Akama Reiji's face broke into a smile again.

Although Soreva guessed, or rather, saw through, their new deck, seeing Soreva's stiff expression made it all worthwhile.

"So, President Akaba Reiji invited me here just for these matters? If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave."

Seeing that Soreva was about to turn and leave, Akaba Reiji stood up and spoke up to stop him:

“Mr. Soreva, please wait a moment. There is another matter I want to tell you today.”

Soreva turned around in confusion, wondering if there was anything else Akama Reiji wanted to say, and immediately asked:

"Is there anything else, President Akaba Reiji?"

“Mr. Soreva, do you remember the programs you provided to us a couple of days ago? Now, we have been able to confirm through the functions of these programs that your student from Yushojuku named Shiun-in Sora does not belong to our world.”

Upon hearing this, Soreva suddenly realized that the program he had given to Akaba Reiji had yielded results!

However, this feeling is really strange. Soreva felt that this was a long time ago, but now when he thinks about it, it seems like only two days have passed.

It seems like it's just a misperception caused by how much has happened these past two days!

The problem is, I don't even need you, Akama Reiji, to remind me. I already know from Yuto and Hayabusa that Sora is a person from the dimensional fusion, and Sora herself has even admitted it.

Therefore, faced with this news from Akama Reiji, which was practically from Mars, Soreva could only show a helpless expression.

Seeing Soleva's expression, Akaba Reiji assumed Soleva didn't believe him and immediately went to the desk, took out a stack of documents, and was about to hand them to Soleva:

“Mr. Soreva, you can take a look at this document. I have sufficient evidence to prove…”

“Su Liangjun does not belong to this dimension; he is from the fused dimension.”

Seeing Soreva turn around completely and calmly say such a sentence, Akaba Reiji's face finally showed shock.

The conclusion that Ziyunyuan Suliang most likely came from the fusion dimension was the most probable guess that Lion Corporation and LDS Group could arrive at after analyzing the data day and night, combined with his own understanding.

But it's just speculation after all.

But this speculation has now been confirmed by Soreva's words.

"Mr. Soreva, how did you know?"
