"What are the three elements of Duel Physics?"
"Monster, Magic, Trap."
"Who proposed the Unified Duel Theory?"
"Dr. Tubainstein."
Tenjo Hikari was revising notes while answering Mitsuzawa Daichi's questions.
These characters or cards appeared in the original work, Tenjo Hikari couldn't possibly remember all the details, but after tutoring sessions, he could quickly recall them.
"Oh..." Yuki Judai stood beside the two, stunned, with stars in his eyes, the knowledge going in one ear and out the other.
"Truly, Tenjo-san is impeccable, answering questions while tutoring," Tenjouin Asuka remarked softly.
"Big bro is different, he's just amazed..." Marufuji Shou watched Yuki Judai spaced out, couldn't help but comment, "Big bro, if this keeps up, you'll have to retake exams and even supplementary classes this semester!"
Who knows how Marufuji Shou managed to sleep in class with Yuki Judai every day and still not fail a subject, in any case, he can sleep in class, read casually, and pass exams, his talent isn't bad either.
Tenjo Hikari organized his things, stretched, and said to Mitsuzawa Daichi beside him, "Thanks, Daichi, without you, having to make up for so many days of classes would be quite troublesome."
"Haha, defeating a Tenjo Hikari lacking important knowledge due to an accident wouldn't be meaningful as the top student," Mitsuzawa Daichi laughed heartily.
"Huh—exams—" Judai couldn't help but collapse, lying on the desk.
"Big bro—don't give up!" Marufuji Shou quickly moved next to Judai.
"Yes, big bro, keep it up!" At the same time, another follower of Judai, Tyranno Kenzan, quickly ran to the opposite side of Marufuji Shou to encourage Judai.
Although he seemed wild.
He was a good student.
"Ah! Kenzan-san, so, this is the sophomore classroom, you shouldn't be causing trouble here, go back to your own classroom!" Marufuji Shou couldn't help but say to Tyranno Kenzan.
"But this classroom is now the temporary activity room for the Fusion Department, as a member of the Integration Department, it's the seniors who should leave early!" Kenzan argued back.
"Moreover, Serena is also here, are you going to kick her out too!"
"Ah! You even brought up Serena, that's so sneaky!"
Ever since Judai gained a new "follower", realizing his big brother had an old "follower", Marufuji Shou and Tyranno Kenzan gradually began to oppose each other, competing for more of Judai's "favor", Marufuji Shou even gave up many Integration Department activities to come to the Fusion Department to compete for Judai.
Though Tenjo Hikari didn't quite understand what they were competing for.
Playing cards! Judai wouldn't refuse.
The reason they gathered in this classroom today was mainly because the Fusion Department's activity room temporarily couldn't be used.
Of course, it wasn't because it was closed or anything.
Nowadays, Tenjo Hikari and the other association "veterans" gained more respect in the school. Not only Tenjo Hikari, Yuki Judai, Manjome Jun, and Tenjouin Asuka, who were already famous among the students, but even — please note the rhetoric — even Mitsuzawa Daichi, who usually lacked presence and was often ignored, occasionally even had people proactively talking to him!
How exaggerating is this?
To know that in a different setting, Mitsuzawa Daichi's faint presence could enroll him in the Assassin Order's training!
In any case, with so many famous students, and Tenjo Hikari, Mitsuzawa, Manjome, Asuka, and other excellent students, plus Professor Cronos as the temporary principal having their back, the Fusion Department couldn't possibly fall.
The Fusion Department's activities were held in the classroom today mainly because Fengguang Company's funds were already transferred to the academy's account, and the construction team now started expanding the Activities Department's building.
Roughly estimated, in a day, Tenjo Hikari will have a small building of three to four stories, with various balconies and small scenic lakes as well as other miscellaneous little structures.
This is the amazing feat in the world with "Duel Monsters" and "Duel Energy" — in the original, Instructor Napoleon and Professor Cronos had a duel over whether to rebuild Red Academy, with demolition teams instantly demolishing half a building, and construction teams rebuilding half an academy in the same time, the intensity clear.
Such is the world of Duelists.
So tomorrow, Tenjo Hikari can begin setting up a Dimension Gate and venture into the "Other Dimension" chosen by the principal.
Of course, before that,
there are quite a few "details".
"Though telling you this might distract you from studying… but I thought it'd be better to tell you, Judai," Tenjo Hikari casually took out the Emerald Book while talking to Judai.
"What's up?" Judai looked curiously at Tenjo Hikari.
Lately, Tenjo Hikari could clearly feel that Judai became more mature and perceptive.
Not only that, his emotional expression wasn't as enthusiastic as before, overall, he's still spirited, but compared to before, it's less passionate.
If Tenjo Hikari, who specializes in observation and record-keeping, noticed it, everyone else might not notice the direction Judai is changing.
Of course, this change, rather than calling it a change, it's more like self-expression.
After all, he seemed to have found his childhood spirit in some other dimension.
So it's hard to say whether he has changed or stayed the same.
"There might not be exams this year."
"What!?"
"No exams!!"
"Really? Brother Hikari!"
"Is it true, Senior Hikari?!"
"Senior Tenjo, Senior Tenjo!"
Upon hearing there were no exams, whether it was the fellows chatting and tutoring with Tenjo Hikari or those playing around at the side or sitting on the tables playing cards, they couldn't help but jump up, crowding towards the center, focusing all attention on Tenjo Hikari.
No matter in which world,
No matter what's studied,
As long as they hear there's no exam, anyone would be happy.
"No exams!?" Judai beamed upon hearing.
Such good news!?
"No, no exams!?" Mitsuzawa Daichi held his mouth open, somewhat lost.
"Well, saying no exams isn't quite right," Tenjo Hikari closed the Emerald Book, sighed slightly, resting his chin on one hand, gripping the book in his left hand, waving a bit, "Cronos, the temporary principal, said the annual grades this year would be based on the tournament the principal is about to hold...
Besides, in terms of difficulty, it'll likely be much harder than regular duel exams."
Tenjo Hikari reminded the students to review earnestly and adjust their decks well.
"The tournament the principal is about to host?" More students focused on the tournament and not having exams.
Tenjo Hikari lightly tapped his head with the book.
Critical Point GX Tournament...
He sighed once more.
After all the twists and turns, the principal still announced this tournament.
While thinking this, Tenjo Hikari noticed some airplanes seeming to fly towards Academy Island outside the window.
That emblem?
Plus, the pure white that almost blinds.
Saiou is coming.
