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

"Could it be—"

Soon, following Youfeng's guess, he immediately opened the special reward card pack in front of him. In an instant, accompanied by bursts of light, a card with a completely different appearance from the previous Extra Monster cards, featuring the iconic arrows pointing in all directions around its edges, appeared before Youfeng:

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully obtained the Fireproof Dragon deck!]

With a notification sound, a connected monster with a mechanical structure, electronic network power, and a pair of huge blue wings immediately appeared before Yufeng:

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the LINK-5 monster card: Fireproof Dragon - Dark Fluid]

【Fireproof Dragon - Dark Fluid】

[Attribute: Dark]

[Race: Cyberse]

[Attack power: 3000]

[Connection value: 5]

[Connection markers: [↑][←][→][↙][↘]]

...

"Hmm, although it's a more high-tech version, it's still essentially a mechanical dragon..."

"So, this [Firewall Dragon] can be considered a connected version of the [Electronic Dragon], no problem at all!"

Soon, as Yufeng excitedly prepared to organize and store the deck into his own deck, he immediately noticed that although the deck contained many lower-level monsters, all of them were Link monsters with a next card on the card face displaying the word "Unlocked." Yufeng's lips twitched slightly.

"Good grief, you're not going to tell me the unlock time is a leisurely N years away, are you, and make me ride a D-wheel to the 5DS timeline?"

"The world's already destroyed, what's the point of me playing cards? If possible, let me just go and crush the paradox, okay...?"

"..."

As Youfeng's slightly helpless complaint rang out, at that moment, as the spirit behind the [Electronic Dragon] beside him looked at its future new partner with great astonishment, the system notification sounded in Youfeng's ear again:

[The conditions for unlocking a Link Summon for the host are now: Use your current Synchro Monster cards to summon 5 or more Level 12 Synchro Terminals consecutively within one turn and achieve victory.]

[Upon achieving the goal, LINK Summoning will be unlocked for the host, and this Summoning mode will be synchronized to the current timeline.]

...

Soon after receiving this not-so-easy questline, Youfeng felt a little emotional:

"5 or more 12-star units..."

"I don't recall there being many Level 12 Synchro Monster cards, right?"

"In that case... what's easier to achieve is to perform the Three Heavenly Transformations in one round."

After a moment's thought, Youfeng glanced at the dormant [Waste 2] deck in his own deck, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"It looks like another classic old friend is going to make an appearance this time."

"However, besides the Three Streams Heaven Three Radiant Transformations... the [Stardust Dragon] family pack, or 'My Friend's Tamashi' are also two ideas that fit my temperament."

"Aren't you right, Sebatorgagon!"

[Electronic Dragon]: Don't look at me, my whole family is not [Synchro]...

...

Soon, after a leisurely holiday, the new semester at Duel Academy began again.

This time, since he wasn't in charge of the entrance exam like he was in the first year, he was wearing beach shorts and fishing next to the rebuilt Osiris-Red dormitory.

A commotion immediately reached Youfeng's ears.

Soon, in a moment of slight surprise, an excited and energetic voice immediately rang in Youfeng's ears:

"Senior Youfeng—"

A "jellyfish head" immediately appeared in front of Youfeng, dressed in a red [Osiris-Red] uniform.

Behind him, several equally excited voices from lower grades, both boys and girls, quickly followed.

Upon seeing Youfeng, they all revealed expressions of surprise and delight.

"Well~ Senior Yuuka, I look forward to working with you in the new school year!"

After bowing politely, Jaden Yuki immediately introduced the new students who had accompanied him to Yuuki with the same enthusiasm:

"...After hearing that Senior Youfeng was in the [Osiris-Red] dormitory, many students who originally had the qualifications of [Sun God-Yellow] still came here out of admiration!"

"We, [Osiris-Red], have finally grown strong!"

Soon, accompanied by Yuki Jaden's excited voice, Kenzan, the little brother he had just recruited, dressed in a very distinctive outfit and wearing a yellow dinosaur headband, also bowed to Yuki.

...

After nodding slightly to everyone, Youfeng's gaze quickly fell on a boy with sapphire blue hair wearing the [Obelisk-Blue] academy uniform not far away, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ah, this is John Anderson, the champion from the Northern Branch!"

"Although John didn't come to [Osiris-Red], he still wants to visit!"

The boy with sapphire blue hair quickly looked at You Feng with curiosity, while You Feng's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"So, it seems I've seized the opportunity to unlock LINK!"

"John!"

140. Red Dragon = 3 Radiant Transformations + 3 Flowing Heaven in 1 turn?!

Soon, under Youfeng's smiling gaze, John Anderson, the champion of the Northern Branch School, also glanced at the "amiable" smile on the face of the duelist who was rumored to be able to crush everything.

He immediately greeted Youfeng excitedly:

"Hmm... Senior Yuuka, even before coming to the Duel Academy, I already admired you greatly... but—"

The boy with long, sapphire-blue hair immediately raised his arm towards Youfeng with great ambition:

"Before that, we need to have a proper duel with Senior Youfeng!"

...

Soon, everyone was taken aback by John's challenge to Youfeng.

Several new duelists who had arrived at the same time, all idolizing Yufeng, looked at the mysterious young man before them with resentment:

"what the hell..."

"Although you achieved outstanding results in the previous branch school, that's no excuse for your rudeness in front of Senior Youfeng!"

"John, don't drag us down and damage our image in Senior Youfeng's eyes!"

"We're adorable newcomers~"

"..."

Amidst the slight reproaches from the crowd, John Anderson was immediately taken aback, then somewhat embarrassedly put away his duel disk.

"Ah, is that so? Sorry, Senior Yufeng, I got a little excited..."

At this moment, John, who had calmed down a bit, also remembered that Duel Academy was a place that valued teachers and etiquette, so he immediately bowed apologetically to Youfeng.

...

But the next second—

"Ha~"

After chuckling softly, You Feng immediately shook his head:

"It's okay, John..."

"To be honest, I really admire your dedication to card battles."

The group, who had initially hesitated, immediately showed a hint of surprise in their eyes after hearing You Feng's equally cheerful and open-minded voice.

"R-really? Senior Yuuka?!"

As John Anderson's jewel-like blue eyes sparkled with excitement, the "jellyfish-headed" boy beside him, Jaden Yuki, immediately patted the boy on the shoulder:

"Haha, don't worry, John... Senior Youfeng is a kind and approachable senior who values ​​strong duelists very much."

But very quickly, just as John showed a hint of surprise, Jaden Yuki instantly revealed a "devilish face":

"But—"

The boy with the jellyfish-like hair spoke in a voice as soft as a devil's whisper:

"If John rashly challenges you and loses to Senior Youfeng, then his future career will become as cold as winter~"

"That infamous, cold-faced, hellish Kaiser Ryo is also a disciple of Senior Yuuka~"

...

Soon, under Jaden Yuki's exaggerated expression, a hint of surprise flashed across John's face.

"Haha, are you scared now?!"

Judai Yuki patted John Anderson on the shoulder again, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Emmm...no, Judai-kun..."

"To be honest, I'm actually quite excited!"

"..."

As John's excited voice rang out, at that very moment, a series of bells also resounded from the central auditorium of the distant Duel Academy.

"Hmm, class has started. What a pity..."

Upon learning that he could no longer duel with Youfeng immediately, a hint of regret flickered in the eyes of the blue-clad boy with long sapphire hair.

...

But soon, as the group walked together into the auditorium classroom of the Duel Academy, the bald principal, Samejima, who had been waiting for them for a long time, smiled and nodded at Yuuki.

Professor Chronos, who was about to fly into a rage because the group was late, immediately suppressed his anger upon seeing that they were with Youfeng.

Afterwards, at the welcome party for the new students, Principal Samejima introduced several new students to everyone, outstanding students from various branch schools.

After greeting You Feng, Principal Samejima immediately invited up a middle-aged man with exaggerated clothing, a resolute face, and even a fierce aura.
