Yu-Gi-Oh!: Holding Ruri Kurosaki, I'm invincible!

Suzuki Ao's words instantly created a tense atmosphere in the invigilator's room.

The recruitment mentors placed their bets, while the professional contestants closely monitored the movements of all the students.

They not only have to select potential duelists for the professional league, but also help Suzuki Ao keep an eye out for geniuses who might break through.

In the adjacent examination room sat the deans of the four major colleges.

Everyone was glued to the screen, eagerly anticipating their student's performance.

Akabane Teru was among them. He was somewhat uneasy about Xue Lian Shuang being taken away by the professional competition, but he still refused to believe that it was related to You Ming.

How could a student he expelled have such power?

Perhaps Xue Lian Shuang offended someone in the professional competition.

He had already made plans to cancel Xue Lianshuang's student status upon returning home, so as not to damage the school's reputation.

The points on the screen have been updated again:

[Kurosaki Ruri: 130 points]

[Nakamura Teru: 20 points]

Upon seeing these two names, Akabane Teru's face lit up with joy.

Ruri Kurosaki is the trump card of Plum Blossom Academy.

For some reason, her dueling skills have improved a lot recently.

Even the college's teachers were no match for her.

Nakamura Teru's performance also exceeded expectations, scoring 20 points, which is considered outstanding among many students.

Currently, 80% of students still have single-digit grades.

Those who can break double digits are all exceptionally strong duelists.

Akabane Teru suddenly caught a familiar name out of the corner of his eye, and his pupils contracted sharply: [You Ming: 10 points]

Wasn't he taken away by the professional competition?

How can he participate in professional duels?!

Akabane Teru was startled, but quickly regained his composure.

Looking at the unchanging score of 10, a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Even if I participate, so what?

With these few points, no good professional league would even consider them.

You Ming, you're regretting it now, aren't you?

Sorry to be late!

Your fighting skills are not even comparable to Nakamura Teru, yet you dare to be arrogant and conceited at school!

Disrespectful to elders, he deserved to be expelled!

For a moment, Akabane Teru became increasingly satisfied with his decision to fire Yu Ming.

Plum Blossom Academy doesn't need students who are arrogant and ignorant just because they have some ability!

......

"Battle, use X Swordsman - Disobedience for a direct attack!"

[Standard AI, LP2500→0]

An ordinary AI was defeated just like that, very decisively.

"It took three minutes this time? Not bad."

Fujii Shizuko put away the deck and nodded.

Upon entering the Duel Tower, Fujii Shizuko charged straight towards the center without hesitation, determined to win first place in Heart Garden this time.

There aren't many people who can compete with me for this: Zhuge Mingren and Imai Hiroshi.

Apart from these two, no one else is worthy of her attention.

No, there's one exception.

Thinking of that domineering voice she heard in the cafeteria yesterday, she felt a pang of regret.

A moment of impulsiveness ruined his future.

Next time we meet, we won't be on the same level anymore.

Even she was surprised by You Ming's duel; she never expected that the duel would be so decisive.

However, missing this professional exam means a gap of at least one year.

If resources don't keep up, we're destined to fall far behind.

If they were to duel, without the new advantage of Synchro decks, she wasn't confident she could win 100%.

Yes, her greatest advantage is the Synchro Summoning technique she learned from duelists from other dimensions.

The higher-ups of the Hyperdimension are not fools; when someone invades, they will naturally learn from their opponent's methods.

Of course, if You Ming were here, he would probably sigh again: Since you all know how to learn, how come you were beaten so badly by those who merged dimensions?

Blah blah blah.

She continued rushing towards the center, and the number on her watch finally reached 290.

As she passed through a dense forest, a chain suddenly appeared and struck her duel disk.

Fujii Shizuko paused, then inserted the Duel Disk and entered battle mode: "You want to fight amongst yourselves?"

Ruri Kurosaki shook her head: "I didn't see which forest you came out of. I thought you were an advanced AI."

Her voice was calm and without any emotion, making it seem like she was nitpicking.

But seeing how calm her eyes were, Fujii Shizuko couldn't tell the difference between truth and falsehood for a moment.

She glanced at Kurosaki Ruri's bracelet and was slightly shocked—260 points.

You should know that she went along ruthlessly, attacking anyone she met.

The girl with purplish-black hair was only 30 points behind her.

This doesn't mean she's weaker than me; it just means she encountered fewer AIs on her way here.

"If you're alright, then I'll be going," Ruri Kurosaki said softly.

"etc."

Fujii Shizuko called out to her, "What's your name?"

"Kurosaki Ruri".

"Shizuko Fujii."

After exchanging names, Fujii Shizuko saw Kurosaki Ruri walking out and wondered, "You're going the wrong way."

Having such a formidable rival close behind allows you to unleash your potential more quickly when battling against AI.

Ruri Kurosaki shook her head slightly: "We can't stay in the center any longer."

"What happened?" Fujii Shizuko asked, puzzled. "If there's a problem with the center, the higher-ups will definitely explain. Could it be that there's a big boss in this AI?"

Those who made it here are all the cream of the crop from various colleges in this professional exam. Even if everyone joins forces, they might not be able to defeat a BOSS-level opponent.

Ruri Kurosaki calmly replied, "That's what Yu Ming said."

"Did he take the exam?"

Thinking of the boy's figure, Fujii Shizuko felt a chill and pressed on, "Why can't we stay?"

Ruri Kurosaki thought of the words left behind by the handsome young man.

"Now I'm going to start clearing the minion wave. Remember to leave the center area and head south. I'll avoid that area; a friend wouldn't harm a friend."

Liuli believed that Youming wouldn't lie to her, so she prepared to leave the central area.

Just as he was about to speak, another sound came from the dense forest.

Suddenly, a guy with a hairline like One-Punch Man walked out:

"This humble monk would also like to hear why we can no longer stay in this central area."

Behind him, a dark-skinned, rough-looking man stepped out: "My name is Imai Hiroshi, just call me Imai-nii-san."

Just as Liuli was about to say a few words, a rumbling sound suddenly rang out in the sky.

A distorted camera was pointed at them.

This is a standard procedure in every professional exam, where top-performing students are broadcast live.

It not only boosted their reputation but also inspired people.

The threat from enemies from other dimensions is known to the natives of the Hyperdimension.

Therefore, every year they put together something like a military parade to tell others: "Our dimension is full of talented people, and we are not afraid of those powerful enemies who have merged dimensions."

In addition, the last-minute change to the computer-based professional exam this year has caused many parents great anxiety, and this is also to put their minds at ease.

At this moment, the top scorers in the professional exams have all gathered together.

Compared to them, the second- and third-rate students from the school, such as Ye Lingxuan, are not worth mentioning.

None of them paid any attention to the commotion above.

Hiroshi Imai said in a low voice, "Can you tell us why we can't stay at the center?"
