I'm in Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm also in Machine Ascension.

"I'm still not happy about letting you, with your jellyfish-like head, have it all to yourself... so—"

Youfeng patted the astonished boy on the shoulder with a wry smile:

"Then I'll move in with you, Judai!"

...

Upon hearing Yuuki's unexpected suggestion, Jaden Yuuki raised his head in surprise and delight:

"Really? Senior Yuuka... In that case, I can ask you for help with all sorts of difficult questions during duels anytime..."

Soon, amidst Judai's surprised inquiry, Yuuka immediately smiled and nodded, pulling his arm back from Judai's shoulder and rubbing his fists together as if preparing to fight.

"Hmm... then it's decided. Next, we'll subject Judai to a series of tortures known as 'Devil Training'!"

Jaden Yuki: ? ? ? No way?! Yuuka-senpai!

Soon, amidst Jaden Yuki's utterly miserable expression, the boy with his hands on his hips watched the two of them chatting and laughing as they walked back to their dorm together, and helplessly pursed his lips.

"But, in this way..."

After shaking her head in disappointment, the girl left with a heavy heart and returned to her [Oberist-Blue] dormitory.

...

Soon after tidying up his luggage, in the air-conditioned [Osiris-Red] dormitory, Youfeng immediately opened his system:

"Next up is the exciting gacha draw!"

In that instant, a silvery-white [Synchronization] power descended upon him, and a crisp system notification sound immediately rang in Youfeng's ears:

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully activated Synchro Summoning using the God of Time Machines. The complete Synchro Deck will be delivered to you.]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the basic structure of the Mech Slayer deck!]

112. [Waste II]: Here it comes, accelerate synchronization with [Meteorite Dragon]!

Soon, accompanied by a flash of silvery-white light, it appeared in Youfeng's hand in the form of a card holder.

The instant Youfeng sensed this aura, he also felt a surge of excitement:

"Hmm...possessing the power of both [Xyz] and [Synchro]..."

"Although their race is the [Cyber ​​Race], their appearance is that of a mechanical armored warrior..."

"Furthermore, based on the power form of the [Cyber ​​Race], it does align with the overall state of [Mechanical Ascension]..."

Soon, with a smile shining on Youfeng's lips, he immediately opened the card pack in front of him. The card was as light as jade, surging with the power of [Synchro], with mecha patterns depicted on the card face and a gear-shaped switch embedded in the center.

Simply select the gear icon to open the card pack. In an instant, accompanied by a burst of light, a powerful Level 12 Synchro Monster card, depicting a figure clad in bright silver-red mechanical armor and wielding a flaming sword, appeared before Yu-Feng, shining with its unique brilliance.

[Congratulations, host, you have successfully obtained the 12-star Synchro Monster card - Flame Slash Machine - End Sigma]:

【Flame Slash Machine - Final Sigma】

[Race: Cyberse]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Star rating: 12]

[Attack power: 3000]

[Defense: 0]

Soon, as this unexpected monster card appeared in front of Youfeng, the system notification sound immediately displayed one by one the main monster cards of the [Slash] deck to Youfeng.

One of the key lower-level monster cards immediately caught Youfeng's attention:

"Hmm, this is—Madoka!"

Soon, upon seeing the iconic 4-star [Slash] monster card appear before him, wielding a circular blade-like arm and armor gleaming with iridescent light, Yufeng immediately placed the [Slash] card in front of him:

"This [Slashing Machine] has a precise and direct energy-generating start point, and secondly, its effect is to reliably draw a Spell/Trap card from the same archetype..."

"Not only did it significantly boost the overall strength of the [Cybernetic] deck, but this card almost single-handedly strengthened the entire [Cybernetic] faction..."

"Therefore, she is rightfully called 'Madoka'!"

Amidst Youfeng's soft sighs, he excitedly reorganized the entire deck in front of him, building his own [Slash] deck and storing it in his card box.

...

Soon, not long after Duel Academy entered its second semester, the Synchro duel between Yu Feng and the genius-level star duelist Ed Phoenix became a hot topic of conversation throughout the academy.

Since Pegasus, the president of the International Illusion Society, recently visited the Duel Academy and has been promoting the new Special Summoning Mode, Synchro, extensively worldwide.

In addition, it has the endorsement of the company president Seto Kaiba and legendary duelists like Yuuka.

Even Yugi Muto and Katsuya Jonouchi, who are currently traveling around the world, recorded videos to express their support for "Synchro".

Therefore, almost immediately, with the successful Synchro Summoning of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX officially unlocked Synchro Summoning as a brand new way to summon special characters.

But just as everyone was rushing to buy card packs to strengthen their decks that were originally based on [Fusion], many duelists who had already decided on their dueling path also chose to remain rational and pursue their own path during this time of heightened dueling enthusiasm.

"so--"

"Jūdai, you're not even planning to pull any cards?!"

During this period before the official start of the school year, Asuka Tenjouin, a girl who often came to the [Osiris-Red] dormitory for strange reasons, was also defeated by Jaden Yuki's [Friend Hero]. Asuka Tenjouin immediately shook her head and sighed, while also looking at Jaden Yuki's incredibly flexible [fusion] method and asking her own questions.

...

"Yes, that's right... Although I did choose some support cards to strengthen my deck, they ultimately weren't included in my deck build..."

"Because the power of [Fusion] can combine the power of [HERO] to create new power, its allure is irresistible—I will continue to uphold the path of [Fusion] as my belief!"

Soon, amidst the excited voice of Jaden Yuki, who was wearing the [Osiris-Red] jacket uniform, and witnessing the increasingly powerful Jaden, Yuuka walked over with a smile:

"Hmm... It seems that Jaden has grasped the true essence of dueling—fusion summoning is the noblest summoning mode!"

Accompanied by Youfeng's leisurely teasing voice, and seeing the thoughtful looks on everyone's faces, Youfeng murmured reminiscingly:

Even when all special summoning modes have perfectly unlocked their power, Fusion Summoning still manages to consistently occupy a place in the pie chart within the complex OCG environment...

"They even produced a few powerful fathers..."

"..."

Soon, as he recalled his past as an "anti-bead warrior," Youfeng revealed a knowing smile.

Seeing Youfeng's expression, the "jellyfish-headed" boy nodded slightly with a sigh and said solemnly:

"Yes! I will make good use of the power of [Fusion]!"

...

Then, at that very moment, Yu Feng received a notification from Principal Samejima that a new teacher would be coming to teach in the second semester.

"In that case... that mysterious duelist will come in person, won't he?"

After checking his emails, You Feng smiled slightly.

"Hmm... Saiou is pondering... this powerful duelist with the ability to foresee fate..."

"...Judging by his dueling style, it would be more appropriate to have Jiroki—Jounouchi—fight him...to see which one is superior, Saiou's power of destiny or the gambling power of blond-haired Jounouchi..."

After a slight sigh, You Feng nodded immediately and headed to the principal's office.

...

Soon, in Principal Samejima's spacious office, a very familiar figure was spotted:

"Ed..."

The moment Ed Phoenix saw You Feng appear, even though he was somewhat prepared, a hint of unease flashed across his face as he wore a familiar black shirt and a well-fitting white suit.

At that moment, seeing the two people's eyes meet, the bald-headed Principal Samejima immediately smiled and introduced them to Youfeng:

"...I think Director Youfeng should have noticed this young man—Ed Phoenix, a professional player active in world professional competitions..."

"but--"

Soon, Principal Samejima turned his gaze to another professor in the office who was standing opposite Professor Chronos with his golden "mushroom head." This professor was short, wearing a dark blue uniform with gold trim, and had a receding hairline. He immediately crossed his arms and glared at Professor Chronos, who was in the same position.

The air between the two was thick with tension and tension.

At that very moment, Principal Samejima smiled helplessly and began introducing Yufeng:

"This teacher is none other than Napoleon's coach..."

"Um..."

Although Coach Napoleon's position was second only to the chairman and principal, and significantly higher than Professor Chronos's, Yu Feng's position as director was actually equivalent to the vice principal of the Duel Academy. The two were not actually that different in rank. Yu Feng nodded slightly and did not say anything more.

Instead, their gazes turned with considerable interest to the mysterious young man standing behind Ed Phoenix, who was dressed in a white suit. This young man had long, dark purple hair and a prominent gray hair in the center of his forehead. At this moment, the young man's dark purple eyes were also coldly scrutinizing You Feng.

...

"This is none other than Ai-san's assistant, Saiou Takuma, who was directly recommended by Ai-san to transfer to the Duel Academy as a second-year student..."

Soon, under the introduction of Principal Samejima, just as he was about to continue introducing Yuuka's identity, the young man, Takuma Saiou, whose eyes shone with a mysterious magic, instantly smiled and shook his head:

"Senior Yuuka... I've heard of that world-class duelist who topped the Duel City tournament before..."

After observing Youfeng with great interest, Zhaiwang Zhuoma raised his head and said with a smile:

"I hope Director You Feng will continue to offer his guidance during this period..."

Soon, as he suddenly flashed a "professional" fake smile, Ed Phoenix beside him instantly looked slightly tense and looked at the two of them with great concern.

"However—as an excellent duelist, Senior Yufeng shouldn't refuse my challenge, right? How about we treat this as an entrance test for dormitory assignment?"

To everyone's surprise, Saiou Takuma launched a near-proactive challenge against Yuuka, causing everyone present to take notice.

"Um... as Edward's assistant... I originally planned to arrange for him to go directly into [Obelisk-Blue], but... it's not easy to explain to the students..."

Seeing Principal Samejima's hesitant expression, although Yu Feng had often defeated her, she was eager to prove herself in front of her "old nemesis"—Instructor Napoleon—and stepped forward first:

"This kind of thing doesn't even require Director You Feng's intervention..."

But the next second—
