"Zzz..."
During the cross-dimensional live broadcast, there was a slight buzzing sound.
Manjome Chosaku sighed deeply upon seeing X-Head Cannon lose to Manjome, looking somewhat disheartened, yet also somewhat relieved.
Manjome excitedly high-fived Tenjo Hikari, then looked into the camera, self-consciously shouting slogans and uttering some chuunibyou lines about school guardianship.
The biggest and most distinctive feature of Manjome Thunder is that he really embodies the spirit of chuunibyou, and in a very interesting way.
In front of a gigantic screen, a voice sounded: "Change it."
"Eh? Brother, you're not watching anymore? Those spirits were just clashing with Jun and them."
"Hnm..." The initial voice gave a soft hum, "Since it's come to this point, clashing is meaningless."
"Okay." A figure slightly shorter than him walked up to the gigantic TV screen, gently pressed a button, and the image instantly split, transitioning from one to two scenes, then four, eight, until a multitude of small screens appeared all over the giant TV.
Sitting directly across from the TV, dressed in a large white uniform and sitting on a sofa, was a figure casually surveying the numerous scenes on the screen.
He was the strongest duelist still active in this world, and the world's smartest genius, who created the dimension travel system, the head of Kaiba Entertainment Company—Kaiba Seto!
He scanned these other dimensions discovered by them, with no expression on his face but his mind racing with a myriad of thoughts.
"Brother, the matter Jun mentioned before?" His younger brother, Kaiba Mokuba, seeing that his brother had not commented on anything, pondered a bit and added, "It's about Akaba Leo."
"Akaba Leo?" Kaiba Seto opened his eyes, showing a bit of interest in commenting on this person, "As a scientist, he's indeed not mediocre.
However, as a duelist, he still has a long way to go!"
Mokuba, very familiar with his brother's style, understood that he cares more about dueling than so-called scientific talent, so he wasn't surprised.
"Yet, Akaba Leo seems to be up to something rather unpleasant?"
"Matters concerning duelists should be resolved through duels." Kaiba Seto glanced at the deck placed beside him, something more important to him than his own life; he would never let it leave his side, "Besides, since Jun discovered it and made their own decisions, let them proceed as they wish."
Even though he did not show it.
But just this one sentence led Mokuba to ascertain that, in Kaiba's heart, he was indeed quite pleased with this disciple of his.
At least today's duel left him very satisfied!
"Rather than that—what about the whereabouts of that Dark Magician Girl?"
"Ah!" Mokuba realized what his brother referred to and quickly pulled up the information, "According to interviews from the Duel Academy teachers, the Dark Magician Girl did appear on the island at a certain time, and according to Kaiba Company's research department, she's definitely a spirit of the card.
She seemed to have no purpose, rather she just played at the school festival with the students.
After that, she completely disappeared, no trace of her whereabouts."
He took out a notebook, "Judging from the subsequent events, first-year students Tenjo Hikari and Mitsuzawa Daichi suddenly found the coordinates of the Secret Village of the Spellcasters, likely learned from the Dark Magician Girl at that time."
He shook his head, "Brother, she should have come from the reality of the Secret Village of the Spellcasters."
Kaiba Seto nodded.
Even though that spellcaster female spirit seemed unreliable, but after all, she is a top-tier magician capable of concealing her tracks.
Kaiba Seto nodded again.
He already understood the general situation.
He reclined lightly, leaning back on the sofa.
He didn't say anything, so Mokuba, on his own initiative, turned off all the screens, switching it back to the beginning.
In the screen, Manjome Jun had already shaken hands with X-Head Cannon, excitedly taking the card and casually chatting with the robots.
After finishing these, Manjome Jun swaggered back and looked at his elder brother, boldly declaring his intention to seize the helm of the "Manjome Group" in the near future!
Hearing this, Kaiba Seto couldn't help but open his eyes.
Mokuba was still watching the screen, hearing him shout this, feeling both amused and helpless, "Haha, Jun really doesn't... have to emulate his brother in everything, right?"
And Kaiba Seto couldn't help but laugh aloud.
Mokuba looked surprisingly at his brother.
He seemed genuinely happy?
"Interesting." Kaiba Seto stood directly up, "It seems, the courses for Duel Academy students are still too easy."
"Eh?"
"Mokuba, get ready, it's time to add some extra courses for them."
"Oh! Haha, I understand, brother!" Mokuba heard Kaiba's words and instantly got the idea.
Precisely because Kaiba Seto was very pleased with his disciple, so... he's preparing to amp up the pressure!
Bringing in some special duelists to the island for "practical demonstrations"!
"Then I'll get right on it!"
Kaiba did not respond, but Mokuba had already left the room that only the brothers could enter on his own accord.
Mokuba...
Kaiba Seto pondered for quite some time.
Seeing his brother finally able to take initiative, he was actually very happy. He did have concerns, worried about what would happen to this world if he truly reached the Netherworld.
He opened the "Pandora's" box.
Although to him, it was no big deal, for this world, dimension traveling seemed a bit premature.
However, his brother's growth made him very satisfied; the disciple he always deemed "barely adequate" finally recognized his own potential and showed growth.
Perhaps, in the not-so-distant future, he could indeed entrust this world entirely to someone else.
It's just...
He couldn't help but ponder.
How did Jun manage to grow so quickly?
Without experiencing life and death, nor the loss of loved ones, how could he have grown so fast?
He turned back to look at the footage he initially had no interest in.
Oh...
That student is...
Tenjo Hikari, is it?
Chatting so happily with Jun?
The matters with Manjome, he naturally knew as well, clear that Manjome grew up amidst criticisms, forming a friendship with him meant this Tenjo Hikari truly was a friend who didn't care about origins or background.
Though he himself didn't care much about so-called friends, he knew there are things that can't change without going through them.
He then recalled another matter.
Last year, Kagemaru suggested having young people compete in exchange duels with the X Dimension, and he agreed to it. Among the contestants, there seemed to be this person.
A Fusion Duelist committed to the purest Fusion Decks.
Although that was a duel among the younger generation, a duelist with such firm convictions still made a good impression on him.
The top of his class, a supporter of "Fusion being the most noble summoning method," opposed to the impure Fusion Army, no wonder Jun experienced such a transformation.
Hmm?
He suddenly noticed some details in Tenjo Hikari's data.
Black Luster Soldier?!
Ordinary people might think the Black Luster Soldier is a special rare card, only someone at his level knows—it's not a card you can pull from a pack!
Interesting!
It seems, that school is more entertaining than I thought.
