=================================================
"Wait a minute, then isn't Yuzu in danger? There's a guy from the Fusion dimension with malicious intentions beside her." After listening to Itadori's explanation, Yuto's expression changed.
"Don't worry, that guy doesn't have the ability to abduct people under Reiji Akaba's nose. In any case, let's find Shun first." Yuji said after patting Yuto's shoulder.
...
After the night talk with Yuto, the two began searching for Kurosaki Shun in the city.
But the trouble was, Yuto at least had a target, while Kurosaki was wandering the streets randomly.
Yuji and Yuto could only get bits of news about him each morning from reports that another LDS team had been attacked.
"By the way, which of you two came up with the genius plan of kidnapping Reiji Akaba and going to the Academy to exchange for Ruri?" After another fruitless day of searching, Yuji couldn't help complaining.
Yuto blushed and didn't answer the question, instead looking at the night sky with worry.
"I've told Shun that this isn't our battlefield, and they aren't our enemy, but he doesn't seem to have any plans to stop."
"We can't keep searching like this. Let's go." Yuji gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Where are we going?" Yuto asked confused.
"LDS headquarters, to meet with Reiji Akaba." Yuji said.
"Is this really okay?" Yuto hesitated. "We're not sure whether LDS is enemy or friend..."
"Don't worry, apart from us, the one who wants Reo Akaba dead the most is Reiji Akaba." Yuji said. "Although our positions differ slightly, our purpose is still the same."
"Then, let's go." After Yuto nodded, he followed Yuji.
Soon the two were blocked at the entrance of the LDS Building.
"Assailants, did you choose to throw yourselves into the net this time?" Hokuto Shinjima, a member of the LDS elite XYZ class, gritted his teeth at Yuto and the two.
In the past few days, Shun's attacks on LDS duelists everywhere had caused them considerable trouble, and they naturally blamed Yuji and Yuto as well.
"This time, you won't be able to escape!" said Yaiba Todo, pointing his bamboo sword.
"Call your president out. We don't have time to play with small fry." Yuji said.
"Small fry? We are the elite of LDS!" said Masumi Kotsu.
"A team of elites who can't handle one person?" Yuji laughed. "Do you know the difference between us and your so-called elites? We are warriors, and once we pick up a duel disk, there's no choice to retreat. Have you flowers, well-protected in your ivory tower, thought clearly before pointing your duel disks at me?"
Itadori's eyes deepened, and a chilling aura burst forth.
Many duelists in LDS felt suffocation and dread.
"Yuji, calm down, this isn't a battlefield." Yuto frowned.
"It's nothing, just scaring them. I don't have Shun's bad taste for bullying the weak." Yuji snorted.
At the same time, Yuji looked towards the LDS building behind them and said loudly:
"Aren't you planning to come out yet, Reiji Akaba? Or do you really want to see your subordinates turned into cards on your desk?"
Clap clap clap. The door of the LDS building opened slowly, and a silver-haired man wearing a red scarf walked out while applauding.
"Welcome to LDS, guests from afar." Reiji Akaba said slowly.
"Guests?" Yuji glanced at the duelists surrounding them. "Is this how the famous LDS in the Standard dimension treats guests?"
Reiji waved his hand upon hearing this, signaling the duelists surrounding the two to retreat.
"President..." Hokuto wanted to say something, but Reiji's sharp look made him retreat obediently.
"What brings you here to LDS?" Reiji said slowly.
"Nothing much. I'm just asking the president to help us find my friend, and to discuss forming an alliance."
"I understand. Your companion, LDS will help you find him. As for the other matter you mentioned, you'll have to prove your sincerity to me." Reiji took out two cards.
"These are invitation letters for the main stage of the Arc League Championship that opens in a week. How about you two participate temporarily representing LDS?" Reiji Akaba adjusted his glasses and said.
"No problem," Yuji nodded.
"Additionally, during the period before the competition starts, could you please stay temporarily in the residence LDS has arranged for players? After all, your companions have caused us considerable trouble during this time."
Yuji turned back and glared at Yuto, making him feel guilty, then nodded again: "Of course, I believe the president won't treat us poorly."
"Then, I look forward to your performance at the tournament." After Reiji finished speaking, he turned and disappeared into the building, while a luxury car slowly stopped beside Yuji and Yuto.
...
Three days later, Yuji and Yuto met Kurosaki Shun in the hotel prepared by Reiji.
"Why are you here?" Kurosaki Shun asked coldly.
"Isn't it to find a certain idiot running around the city?"
"You don't need to interfere in my affairs." Kurosaki said coldly.
Yuji didn't bother paying attention to him. He picked up the lunch delivered by the hotel and ate by himself. Not to mention, Reiji was quite generous and had arranged for everyone to stay in Miami City's best hotel.
Yuji , who hadn't had a good meal since traveling through dimensions, had been making up for it these days.
While eating, Yuji also asked Yuto: "Come, try this. I heard it's this dimension's special curry. The taste is pretty good."
"How's the situation in Heartland?" After a while, Kurosaki Shun finally couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay." When it came to this topic, Yuji also became serious and told Kurosaki Shun about the current situation and Ruri's matter.
After hearing this, Kurosaki was silent for a while, then said, "Thank you for helping the Spade Academy."
"No need, we're companions in the resistance army, aren't we?" Yuji laughed.
"But do you really plan to let us participate in this tournament?" Yuto asked.
"I don't know, but we've already agreed." Yuji said with a shrug.
"Also, if we want to completely defeat the Fusion dimension, our strength alone isn't enough. Isn't LDS a ready-made ally?"
"I don't think guys from this dimension can help in war." Kurosaki said coldly.
"No one is born a warrior. After people in this dimension experience the pain of war, they'll grow." Yuto said from the side.
"Anyway, let's discuss everything after this tournament ends." Yuji slapped his forehead as he spoke and looked at Yuto: "By the way, stay away from people who look like you in the future, especially that one called Sakaki Yuya."
