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

"That's it!"

For a moment, several wrestlers who had lost a lot of LP in the previous duels cried out in despair. However, Nick Smile did not panic, as such a reaction was within his plan.

"There's no need to worry about that! A certain number of Pendulum Cards and Link Cards have been hidden on the streets. Participants can go out and find Pendulum Cards and Link Cards when they are not dueling."

Upon hearing this, the contestants who had been wailing gradually calmed down.

"During the free-for-all phase, the competition will last for 24 hours. In addition, during the duel period, a field spell called [Miracle Quartet] will be activated in four areas of the street, and the contestants can choose any area to fight in."

There's still some time before the match begins. Players, please freely choose the Pendulum Cards and Link Cards you need. After selecting your cards, you can collect your new Duel Disk, which supports Link Summoning, from the hostess.

With Nick's smiling command, the sixteen finalists set off and headed towards the rows of carts.

"Yuya, look at the bottom right corner of these cards, they all have the LDS logo."

Seeing the card that Hiiragi Yuzu picked up, Sakaki Yuya nodded as if it were a matter of course:

"Well, that's normal. After all, the president of Lion Corporation, Reiji Akaba, has such a good relationship with Mr. Sorewa, so he should know that we have a bunch of extra Pendulum Cards and Link Cards."

If he didn't differentiate, wouldn't we be able to pass off our own cards as his own? So naturally, he would keep this in mind. Even so, compared to the other players, we still have an advantage.

Yuya Sakaki was absolutely right. For the other players, choosing the right Pendulum Cards and Link Cards was a real skill.

After all, everyone has a limited number of remaining points, and different pendulum cards and link cards have different prices, which leads to an interesting situation.

Is it necessary to simply exchange for lower-priced cards in order to acquire more initial cards and the qualification to initiate duels?

Or should they exchange for cards that better suit their deck and make it stronger? But the cost might be that they can only get one card at the beginning, and they won't even have the right to initiate a duel, and can only passively accept challenges from others.

However, this was not a big problem for the members of Yushojuku, as well as for Kongenzaka and Mitsutsu Masumi, who were familiar with Yushojuku.

After all, these players' decks are basically complete, and they don't need to rely on the cards they get here to strengthen them.

Therefore, they all firmly chose the first option to obtain more cards.

Even some of the players who had maintained their LPs well felt that after exchanging for the cards, they could find a safe place to hide and not participate in duels.

In this way, the initial cards they obtained might be enough to advance to the next round of the competition.

Soon, at noon, the start time for the mixed battle stage of the DanceNet Championship's junior group quietly arrived. The top 16 players had already changed into the latest Duel Disks and brought their chosen cards.

"Open the gate!"

As Nick announced with a smile, the arena of the DanceTen Championship began to transform, opening a door directly to the outside world.

"Duelers gathered in the Battle Hall! Galloping across the land and soaring through the skies with monsters! Chasing each other across the arena, behold, this is the ultimate evolution of Duel!"

Action—Duel!

Nick's smiling snap of his fingers rang out with a sound like shattering glass, and the action cards materialized by the physical projection system began to scatter across the duel arena covering the street, like a rain of light.

Led by Yuya and the others, the sixteen finalists started running towards the street outside the passage.

While the DanceNet Championship was in full swing, in a hall that merged dimensions...

"Yuri, this mission requires you to travel to the basic dimension."

"I understand, Professor Akama Rei. I wonder what the target is this time..."

Emerging from the shadows where the light couldn't reach, a boy with a face similar to Yuya Sakaki stepped out. However, he had neatly combed short purplish-red hair, unusual eyebrows, and a wicked smile, making him seem out of place among Yuya, Yugo, and Yuto.

Upon hearing You Li's question, the aloof figure, whose face remained hidden except for his gleaming bald head reflecting light, opened his hand, and the images of the two people appeared in his palm:

"These two are your targets this time. This girl's name is Hiiragi Yuzu. As usual, I need you to bring her back intact."

This boy, Shionin Sora, was originally supposed to be one of us from the Fusion Dimension. However, according to intelligence provided by spies, he seems to be getting very close to the remnants of the Hyperdimension who are currently in the Basic Dimension.

If he truly betrays us, I will allow you to seal him within a card. These people will then be your asset in this mission.

Looking left and right at the people appearing behind him, dressed in identical uniforms and masks, the boy named Youli immediately patted his chest and respectfully spoke:

"I understand. This time, I will also complete the mission successfully."

After saying that, Yuri led the group of people, who were named the Obelisk Force, away.

After Yuri and the soldiers of Obelisk's forces had all disappeared outside the door, a girl who looked very much like Yuzu Hiiragi peeked out and muttered to herself:

"Traitors? Remnants from the Hyperdimensional? That primal dimension seems quite interesting; I'd better go see it for myself!"

Chapter 120: The Obelisk Forces Arrive

"Falcon, those five people have been following us the whole time."

Looking around at the five people who had been following him all the way, Yuya Sakaki spoke to Hayabusa.

After looking back at the five people, Falcon was able to discern their origins:

"Judging from their clothes, these five people are probably here for revenge, right?"

"Seeking revenge? What does that mean?"

Upon hearing Hayabusa's explanation, Yuzu Hiiragi couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

When Hayabusa saw Hiiragi Yuzu asking a question, he first pointed to the three people on the right behind his men who looked like they were wearing knight armor, and then gestured with his lip and said:

"Look, those three people, judging from their clothes, should be from the Duel Knights. The guy I eliminated in the second round named Charlie was also from the Duel Knights."

After saying that, Falcon pointed to the two people dressed in cloth on his left behind him.

"Those two are even more obvious. Just look at their clothes; they're students of Liangshan Academy. They were probably also there to help You Shi defeat Sheng Canluan Poyang. They're definitely from Liangshan Academy!"

"How could these people do this! Hayabusa and Yuya defeated their companions with their strength, and Yuya even injured his hand in that duel!"

After a fierce complaint, Yuzu Hiiragi became puzzled.

"But if they've come to seek revenge, why haven't they started a duel yet?"

"Well, after all, there are four of us on our side, so they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and naturally wouldn't dare to challenge us casually."

This time, it was Shionin Sora who picked up where Hiiragi Yuzu left off. Although he had chosen to betray the fusion dimension after being taught a lesson by Soreva that day, his mouth hadn't changed at all.

He used to pretend to be cute in front of Yuzu and the others, but now he doesn't even bother to pretend anymore.

"If these two groups of idiots had joined forces, they could have had a slight numerical advantage against us. But the thing that's most likely to happen to malicious people like them is that they assume others are as bad as they are."

So, neither group wants to make the first move, probably because they're worried the other side will take advantage of their defeat to loot and plunder. Hahaha, what a bunch of idiots!

Upon hearing Sora's grating laughter, Hayabusa immediately frowned. Although he knew Sora was now his teammate, he had absolutely no liking for her.

So, the falcon immediately spoke up with a nonchalant sarcasm:

"Since you understand this so clearly, does that mean you're just as bad as him?"

"Crack!"

Amidst Hayabusa's mocking laughter, a crack appeared on Sora's lollipop, and Sora glared at Hayabusa, her pupils shrinking.

"You bastard, you trying to pick a fight, huh!"

"If you want to fight, then come and give it a try!"

Seeing the two about to clash, Yuzu Hiiragi quickly stepped in to smooth things over:

"Alright, alright, we're all fighting together on behalf of Yusheng Academy, let's not start fighting amongst ourselves."

At this moment, Yuzu Hiiragi's striking resemblance to Ruri came in handy. Faced with Yuzu's persuasion, Hayabusa merely snorted and turned his head away.

"Sorry, but I don't really get along with this guy. If it weren't for those guys following me, I wouldn't want to travel with him."

"I'm so sorry, but don't make it sound like I want to travel with you!"

Just as Hayabusa and Sora were bickering, suddenly, beams of light shot out from the physical image system set up on the street.

"Is the dueling arena about to activate?"

With a flash of white light, the street beneath their feet instantly transformed into scorching hot rock, and a flowing stream of lava appeared beside them, separating the four from the five people who were following them.

"It's good that those guys can't catch up now, so let's split up. If the four of us stay together, they might not agree to duel with others."

After saying that, Falcon turned and walked in another direction.

"Wait, Falcon! It's too dangerous to go it alone!"

Yuzu Hiiragi was about to chase after him, but then she thought of Yuya and couldn't help but look back.

"Yuzu, go help Hayabusa. I still have Sora here."

Seemingly sensing Hiiragi Yuzu's worries, Yuya smiled and pulled Sora aside to reassure her.

Yuzu understood that Yuya was encouraging her, so she nodded and caught up with Hayabusa.

"Alright, since Yuzu and the others went that way, let's go this way."

Yuya, without regard for Sora's wishes, immediately pulled Sora in a direction completely opposite to that of Hayabusa and Yuzu Hiiragi.

"I know! Yuya, don't pull me like this, it's really inconvenient for me to walk like this!"

The five people who were blocked on the other side by the flowing lava looked around and suddenly found that it seemed that a passage had appeared on both sides of them.

"Let's go around this way!"

"Go this way, we absolutely cannot let that guy named Falcon escape!"

Three went right, two went left, and the five-person tracking team instantly parted ways.

It seemed that the reduced number of people on Yuya's side emboldened the two from Liangshanbo Academy. After rushing into the passage, the taller, thinner one of them immediately uttered a harsh threat:

"This time, we must defeat that Yuya Sakaki and win the battle!"

"That's right!"

However, as soon as they rushed out of the passage, they saw Yuya Sakaki's hideous face appear before them, which startled them.

"That's strange. Is Yuya Sakaki running that fast? How did he get ahead of us? And why are his clothes and hair different now?"

Meanwhile, Yuri, leading the Obelisk forces, arrived in the Basic Dimension. Looking at the surrounding area, which resembled a volcano, his face instantly darkened.

"Did Dennis give us the wrong coordinates? How did we end up in such a weird place?"

Suddenly, a series of chaotic footsteps began to sound. Youli turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw two strange figures dressed in cloth running out of a dark cave next to him.

"Could these two be from this dimension?"

Turning around, Yuri was thinking that they were just being kind by asking for directions, but then she saw the two of them raise their duel disks and shout at her:

"Yuya! Satoru..."
