Tenjo Hikari spent a few more days sightseeing in the S Dimension.
Finally, about a week later, Kaiba Company's branch stationed in the S Dimension finished reviewing the information on this side, so Tenjo Hikari brought Serena and Ruri to the Kaiba Company branch and transported back to the F Dimension.
Before leaving, Tenjo Hikari promised Yusei that he would come to witness Yusei's duel in the next WRGP—not as a participant, since WRGP requires teams of three for the duel. Yusei is teaming with Crow and Jack for Racing Duel, so the most Tenjo Hikari could do is be a substitute, but nothing more.
Of course.
Considering that every time he thinks, "This has nothing to do with me, I'll just join the fun and leave," he ends up being involved in the event, Tenjo Hikari realized that next time he comes, there's no telling what oddities might occur, so he didn't say anything for sure and merely stated he should be kept as a substitute.
Serena naturally followed Tenjo Hikari back to the F Dimension, and as for Ruri, she didn't know anyone in the S Dimension, so with Serena, a familiar person who also saved her, she naturally chose to go to the F Dimension with them.
After all, staying in the S Dimension might lead to encountering bizarre occurrences, and being with Serena seemed much safer.
At least the safety was assured.
After returning to the academy, Tenjo Hikari immediately sought out Professor Cronos and explained the specifics of the situation.
The professor, upon hearing that Akaba Leo had already been defeated by Tenjo Hikari, felt somewhat melancholic, unsure whether he was reflecting on the changes of the world or pondering the development of events.
But after all, since Akaba Leo was already defeated, the future should hold a bit more reassurance—
That's certainly impossible.
While Akaba Leo's defeat indeed symbolizes the Fusion Army's failure.
But this doesn't mean the Fusion Army will completely disappear.
In their world, even though the Fusion Army was being denounced by everyone, the Fusion Army gathered by interests and ambitions, those ambitious individuals trying to seize resources from other dimensions, were never scarce.
Even without the Fusion Army, they might still conduct matters under the banner of the Fusion Army, so in the short term, the Fusion Army would still exist in this world.
What's more, although the Fusion Army might have lost "Dong Zhuo," they still have a "Lü Bu"—Yuri.
So it's still important to remain vigilant.
Regarding Ruri.
According to Professor Cronos, the diplomatic team sent by Kaiba Company has just arrived in the X Dimension, and before then, they couldn't communicate with the X Dimension anymore, it's still in a state of blockade.
Of course, considering Ruri is from the X Dimension, he can write a letter for her, submit it to Kaiba Company, and have them handle it.
Before getting in touch with Ruri's family from the X Dimension, she can only stay here for now.
If Ruri doesn't want to while away time idly, she can attend their academy for learning, although she's a bit young, given that Serena is of the same age, perhaps even a parallel world counterpart. Thus, attending the first grade isn't entirely unacceptable.
Professor Cronos was still extremely interested in this matter.
Having an "Other Dimension" student during his tenure as acting principal is certainly beneficial for the school's development.
Thus, he was quite excited while discussing this.
Regarding this, Ruri had no objections.
Having a chance to learn the summoning methods and other knowledge of this dimension would be a unique experience for her.
"Yay!" Serena cheered excitedly from the side.
Tenjo Hikari promptly gave her a light slap on the head.
"Apologize to the professor first!"
Serena's passionate demeanor immediately subsided, and she awkwardly apologized to the professor.
Professor Cronos listened to Serena's apology with a calm smile on his face, and after a long while, nodded, stating that it was nothing significant.
Indeed, it wasn't anything significant.
Upon careful consideration, it was quite ordinary.
Compared to the commotion caused by Judai last year, it's small potatoes.
Compared to Judai, the Red Academy Chief, where is she?
Judai once tinkered on his own with various Darkness Games, while Serena had Tenjo Hikari as a senior to support her, which seemed much smaller in scale than Judai's deeds.
By now, even the events Judai stirred up were merely trifles that he didn't pay much attention to; Serena's are certainly okay.
After all these matters, Tenjo Hikari didn't do anything else apart from going to the Magic Academy and obtaining a brand-new "Invoked," he only got a date.
It was said that the Witchcrafter Bystreet would reopen in seven days, and by then, Tenjo Hikari should be able to see the leader of Witchcrafter.
After waiting so long, he finally had someone to look forward to.
Once he received Witchcrafter Madame Verre's certification, Tenjo Hikari could gather three recognitions from the "Great Sage" and directly reach the Mage Domain.
But up until now, for this final recognition, he still hadn't found the person.
Tenjo Hikari felt quite speechless.
Really loves to slack off.
Fortunately, he finally got to wait.
Tenjo Hikari returned to the academy, first searched for Manjome, found him asleep at his desk, suddenly awakening as soon as Tenjo Hikari pushed open the door, then shaking his head and raising his hand to greet him.
Tenjo Hikari had some collaborative promotional work with Professor Cronos to conduct, so that's why he sought out Manjome before starting work, unexpectedly seeing Manjome so busy. Tenjo Hikari tossed the previous recording device to Manjome and told him to remember to edit the final duel.
