Flap flutter.
Mitsuzawa Daichi was so startled he fell underneath the table.
The spirits also looked at Tenjo Hikari in surprise, their hands involuntarily stopping what they were doing.
"Oh! It can be done like that!" Serena clapped her hands in realization.
There's still so much she can learn from Tenjo Hikari!
"Bl… Blue-Eyes White Dragon? Is that the legendary dragon?" Marjoram placed both hands on the table, staring wide-eyed at Tenjo Hikari, and asked.
"Yes." Tenjo Hikari nodded.
Mitsuzawa Daichi got up, supporting himself with an arm on the table, slowly standing: "No way, Hikari… do you want… Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon?"
Tenjo Hikari nodded again, "Yes."
"You should be well aware, this is the only way."
Mitsuzawa Daichi's expression shifted from shock to understanding, then back to shock again.
Shocked because Tenjo Hikari set his sights on the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" owned by Kaiba Seto.
Everyone knows there are only four Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards in the world, supposedly all in Kaiba Seto's possession.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon is Kaiba Seto's "soul".
But—
In other words.
If Tenjo Hikari wants to collect all "Polymerization" related cards, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is something that cannot be ignored, and if he wants Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then Kaiba Company is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed.
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, known as the strongest, most ultimate dragon.
Conventional methods simply cannot get Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
"But isn't Blue-Eyes White Dragon President Kaiba's soul card? He wouldn't just give it as a prize, right?" Serena raised her hand, curiously asking.
"Um... that's right, Hikari, you know, President Kaiba met Mr. Yugi because of Blue-Eyes White Dragon and thus embarked on the path of a Duelist. To him, even a God's Card falls second to Blue-Eyes White Dragon... nothing is more important than Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
I've heard legends about President Kaiba in this regard."
"You're overthinking it." Tenjo Hikari seemed very open-minded, "First of all, you remember, right? During the Friendship Cup in the S Dimension, President Kaiba used [Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon], that card was treated as Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field."
That's true.
Mitsuzawa Daichi recalled when he was alone in the Fusion Department, eating chips while watching Tenjo Hikari and others duel with Dimensional Duelists in the S Dimension and other dimensions.
A bit bittersweet.
But the memory was clear.
"I see, besides Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, there should be cards with names that can be considered Blue-Eyes White Dragon. If the prize wanted those cards, there might be a chance too."
Mitsuzawa Daichi had never heard of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon dimension.
But he could guarantee—
Kaiba Company definitely found it.
And they definitely hid it, not letting anyone else know about that dimension.
He believed, President Kaiba would definitely do something like this.
"Actually, there's another possibility." Tenjo Hikari sipping from his teacup, continued, "Actually, Daichi, remember? Manjome once said that Kaiba Company had discovered traces of Dark Magician in the X Dimension."
"In fact, there were not only remnants of Dark Magician but also remnants of Blue-Eyes White Dragon — this was something I later verified with him." Tenjo Hikari continued, "So, in fact... Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards are not the 'only' ones among countless dimensions.
If I'm lucky enough to become the champion, I would request Kaiba Company to grant me a chance to go to a dimension where I might be able to find Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
Both companions showed expressions of peculiar thoughts.
Yes.
This way is possible—
Mitsuzawa Daichi clenched his fist.
Yes.
If that's the case, then...
He suddenly had a thought, like being struck by lightning.
Yes!
If that's the case, I also have the opportunity to go to other dimensions, head to the Xyz Dimension, venture into the world of spirits, and explore possibilities across different dimensions!
He suddenly thought of a profession that could fulfill his "ideas" while allowing him to maintain his duelist status.
But as soon as this thought flashed, it couldn't be instantly pursued further, as he still had time before graduation.
"I see, I understand now." Marjoram, after the initial shock, chuckled, expressing her understanding.
Then, the topic passed by as if it had never come up.
Tierra casually munched on cake, completely uninterested in the subsequent conversation.
In reality, the taste of the cake was quite ordinary.
She only ate out of curiosity.
Tierra didn't need to eat, or rather, the amount of strength she gained from eating was too trivial. Watching duels with Tenjo Hikari was far more beneficial.
She loved eating Instant Fusion simply because it tasted quite good, akin to how ordinary humans nibble on sunflower seeds and chips while watching shows.
After trying a couple of aromatic little cakes, she lost interest in those things and then observed Marjoram.
She could see.
Though Marjoram's spirit was still here, her mind was elsewhere.
That's indeed—
Actually, among the spirits collaborating with Kaiba Company, some from the "Twelve-Star Duelists", besides holding the identity of Duel Examiners, also carry the special background of being Kaiba's personal "testers".
Kaiba Seto himself decided to host a vast cross-dimensional tournament in the future, seeking out the strongest duelist from all worlds.
Selecting participants was quite a task.
Previously, Kaiba had noticed some interesting individuals among Duel Academy students, so besides regular competitions, he entrusted these spirits to observe — nothing is a more effective observation method than that of spirits.
Because spirits can genuinely judge a duelist's Duel Heart through duels and observation.
After seeing off Tenjo Hikari's group, even Marjoram, who was only working in the garden assisting passing spirits, couldn't help but feel somewhat tempted. After the group left, she quickly recorded everything that happened today and then transmitted the information to Dimensional Kaiba Company's headquarters via their equipment.
So.
Half an hour later.
Near a vast hot spring located in the southern part of the Critical Point Dimension, known as the "Zone of Spiritual Liberation", a masked "person" with a smiling mouth, who seemed to be in a good mood, strode along the hot spring corridor, surveying the surroundings. Before long, his wrist suddenly emitted a beeping sound.
He looked at his left hand, which featured a communication device adorned with silver and white wings. He gently pressed it, causing a three-dimensional image to appear out of nowhere before him.
It was a letter.
He scanned it from top to bottom.
"Oh? Interesting..."
He uttered again as he looked at Tenjo Hikari's photo.
That student.
Even among the many students he observed, this one had the most "potential".
"Is he arrogant or confident?"
Recently, those boring folks from the Light Society seemed to be stirring trouble in this dimension, making it the perfect testing ground.
He casually took out a phone from his coat pocket and made a call.
"Immediately adjust the train routes within the Critical Point Dimension for me, I want you to..."
