Tenjo Hikari sighed and asked him if he knew about the doubles match afterwards. When he heard it was Tenjo Hikari teaming up with him, he immediately showed a smile and gave a thumbs up saying, "Hahaha, that's great."
He seemed to be in high spirits.
Since the Critical Point, Tenjo Hikari hadn't seen Judai so enthusiastic.
Thinking about it, he also rarely saw Judai going out every day looking for duels.
Looks like he had a pretty good talk with "himself".
"Let me tell you, Hikari, I'm terrifyingly strong now—" he said mysteriously as he leaned next to Tenjo Hikari.
How terrifying, does he Special Summon Stratos when he arrives?
Or is he using Polymerization to fuse Mariner and then De-Fusion to bring out Wingman and Bubbleman before Tribute Summoning Neos?
Tenjo Hikari didn't know what he was talking about, but since he was so confident, Tenjo Hikari nodded immediately, expressing his anticipation for Judai's duel.
Turning back, Tenjo Hikari returned to the Great Cosmic Workshop and released the Three Phantasm.
Although the three had reached a consensus with Tenjo Hikari in Akaba Leo's duel, there were still matters that Tenjo Hikari needed to discuss with them thoroughly.
After all, the three are genuine "Archfiends" that devour the Life Force of humans and Spirits. Tenjo Hikari couldn't let his guard down just because they followed him.
Tierra talked with them, setting three rules, and finally came to a conclusion.
As long as the Three Phantasm adhered to Tenjo Hikari's requirements, they could exchange their power for the Spirits' "Life Force" or simply obtain the "Philosopher's Stone" Life Force, but if they dared to cross the line, Tenjo Hikari wouldn't hesitate to seal them back in the basement of the Duel Academy.
If they can keep the agreement, Tenjo Hikari and his team's Spirits would respect them.
The three Archfiends aren't entirely thoughtless; after their experience of being disassembled by Akaba Leo, they indeed need a place where they are respected and allowed to rest, so it's a fit.
This works out well.
Tenjo Hikari watched the three Archfiends help build and construct a new ecological environment in the Great Cosmic Workshop, pondering that as long as they didn't commit evil, they could be considered "Gods" and didn't bother much.
After all, Armityle the Chaos Phantasm was in his possession; if the three couldn't unite, they were far from being a match for Tierra—after the duel with Akaba Leo, Tierra began constructing Pendulum Machines in the Great Cosmic Workshop, and after the improvements made from ZONE's plans and the remnants of the Big Spirit series, Tierra gradually mastered "Pendulum" and started recovering his power of "Creation".
Although he couldn't create cards yet, it apparently wouldn't take much longer.
Tenjo Hikari still had one Dimension Travel opportunity left this month, but he planned to leave it for the Witchcrafter Bystreet, so he wasn't in a hurry, just participating in various activities and promotional work with Professor Cronos at the academy.
Luckily, he was used to it from the Fengguang Company's advertisements, so he wasn't too exhausted.
Just as he was about to participate in the duel, Fengguang Company called him.
"Agent Hikari, we found them!"
Found them? Oh—the Legendary Duelists!
Tenjo Hikari's eyes lit up.
Then he heard more.
They had found not just one!
It turns out they had searched information about many Legendary Duelists during this period, some of whom were willing to accept Tenjo Hikari's challenge, while others were currently active in the market.
Among them were Tenjo Hikari and Judai's next opponents—
The Maze Brothers.
"It is said that they have gained super strong new powers and have become distinguished guests of the Manjome Group. We know you have a friend who is the son of the Manjome Group. This is a great opportunity—"
"Ha, that works perfectly; you guys can go film in a few days." Before the other side finished, Tenjo Hikari interrupted with a laugh.
"Huh?" The other side exclaimed in surprise and quickly responded, "Alright, understood. We will be there!"
