Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1652 Training Plan
The other companion Yu Gen mentioned was none other than Yuki Judai.

When Judai heard that dueling kings from other dimensions were coming to visit, he was naturally very excited and rushed over almost as fast as he could after receiving Yugen's message.

To Yu Xuan's surprise, Judai also told him that while Yu Xuan was away, a guest actually came to the academy.

When Yuugen brought the two guests to the restaurant's private room, Judai was already there. Not only that, but the other unexpected guest was also already there.

But when they pushed the door open and entered, Yuma Tsukumo and Judai were each holding a rice ball and eating it with great enthusiasm. When they turned around, there were still grains of rice stuck to the corners of their mouths.

"Oh, Yuugen, you're finally back!" Jaden exclaimed excitedly. "And Yusei, Mr. Yugi! You're amazing!"

Yuma seemed to choke on a mouthful of rice, fumbling around for a while before finally managing to swallow the large piece of rice by pounding his chest with his fist. Then, he revealed an excited expression: "Yugen! And this one, could it be the legendary Yugi Muto! And the crab?"

In Yuma's dimensional history, there is clearly a record of the Duel King Yugi Muto, but there is no such person as Yusei Fudo—after all, there is no history of Synchro in his world.

But Yusei had a gentle temperament and didn't feel offended. In fact, he instinctively felt that the child was gentle and interesting, and simply smiled and introduced himself: "I am Yusei."

Yuma proudly declared, "I am Yuma Tsukumo! I am the man who will one day become the Duel Champion!"

Yu Xuan sat down at the dining table and asked in surprise, "Yu Ma, why are you here again? Aren't you in your own dimension?"

He knew that the human world and the Varia world were on the verge of war, and that they might soon be fighting. And Yuma Tsukumo was a key fighting force in the human world.

Upon hearing You Xuan's question, You Ma's expression immediately darkened.

"Yeah, that's right. We've already gone to war with the Barian Realm once, including with that shark guy."

Yuma looked pained as he spoke.

"That shark guy, that guy is actually a Varia."

Most people would be completely confused by this, but You Xuan had read the script and naturally understood it quickly.

The shark Yuma refers to is Ryoga Kamishiro, a member of the ZEXAL main cast. He was originally Yuma's good friend, but it's ironically revealed that he is actually the reincarnation of Nash, the leader of the Seven Varia Emperors.

Although Nash himself was extremely reluctant to be at odds with Yuma, as the head of the Seven Emperors, he was responsible for the mission of the entire Varia world, so he ultimately decided to stand on the opposite side of humanity and become enemies with Yuma.

It seems that Yuma has already fought with Nash.

The astral entity floating behind them in spirit form explained, "We fought a duel with Nash, but it ended in a draw, and we couldn't determine a winner."

And when the duel ended, the situation from the previous duel with Vector happened again.

You Xuan understood: "The dimension has shattered?"

“Yes,” Yuma replied, “that shark guy was sucked in and disappeared to another dimension.”

The astral entity said, "Normally, that shouldn't be the case. It was the same in Vector last time, and it's the same this time. It feels like the dimensional barrier we inhabit has been intentionally weakened, making us so easily affected by the energy of the duel."

Astral Entity pondered for a moment, then frowned.

“In fact, I had some faint perceptions before, as if some kind of energy, different from that of the Balian and the thousands of Lords, was influencing our world. It’s just that it was covered up by the power of the Balian before, so I thought it was an illusion.” The astral body looked up.

“But this time, during the duel with Nash, that power became even more apparent,” the astral body said. “It was gloomy, dark, and filled with an extremely strong ambition, as if… as if it harbored some kind of will to devour everything.”

You Xuan had already guessed something: "Zork?"

He already knew that Zorc had a presence in the Xyz Dimension.

"Zok again?" Dark Game thought to himself, somewhat dejectedly.

He had realized that Zorc came from his own fundamental dimension, and he had accepted that this evil god was his responsibility. Therefore, whenever he heard that other worlds were being ravaged by this evil god, he felt inexplicably agitated.

“The shark is my friend, and I can’t abandon him.”

Yuma clenched his fist and said firmly.

You Xuan: "Oh? Even if he has already accepted the identity of the Barian?"

“That’s his own business. But no matter what happens, he’ll always be my comrade.” Yuma shook his head and said, “Even if we have to confront each other again and have to make a break, this one thing will never change. I will definitely find him.”

The game's protagonist said, "In that case, our goals should be aligned for the time being, right?"

Although Yuma wanted to find Nash, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack in the endless multiverse. The only clue was that Nash's disappearance might also be related to Zorc, so he could only obtain clues about Nash by getting close to Zorc first.

"Since we're already here, Yu Ma, you can stay at the academy for a few days," Yu Xuan said. "We'll need a little more time to prepare before our next departure. Also..."

You Xuan smiled and glanced at everyone present.

Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki, Yusei Fudo, Yuma Tsukumo
The gathering of four generations of destined-to-be-extraordinary Duel Kings is a rare opportunity. We must make the most of it.

"To be honest, I've done some research on your decks, styles, and personal approaches," You Xuan said. "If you don't mind, I might be able to offer some inspiration, which could be helpful."

Judai's eyes lit up: "Oh, Yugen, you have another new idea?"

Others didn't know Yugen well, but Judai knew best that whenever Yugen said he had an idea, it would often make a significant improvement to some decks, and even instantly put some unpopular decks on the fast track to success.

However, in the past, Yu Xuan would usually set up a special team to conduct research after pointing out the direction, following a purely scientific research approach. But now that several Duel Kings are present, there's naturally no need to use such a lukewarm method.

He has more intense and efficient methods to deal with these seafood-headed, naturally gifted players who are blessed with incredible luck.

That's playing cards!
With Yu Xuan providing inspiration and guidance on card printing, the next few days will be used to arrange for the four cross-dimensional and cross-era duel kings to either engage in two-on-one battles or a free-for-all four-on-one battles.

A sufficiently intense and exciting game of cards can trigger the burning of these individuals' duelist spirit, allowing them to directly comprehend, evolve, and print cards in actual combat.

Among the four, there are top-tier leaders who represent each of the dueling styles, such as Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz, which also makes it easier for each other to quickly learn and adapt to the essentials of various summoning methods.

If all goes well, the team's combat effectiveness will improve by leaps and bounds in just a few days!
