Yu-Gi-Oh!: Holding Ruri Kurosaki, I'm invincible!

Chapter 241 The Journey of You Sheng

The person who came was none other than Tenjouin Asuka. She had come to help after hearing about the commotion at the alley entrance.

But when they arrived, the battle was already over, and the girl in front of them had resolved the crisis all by herself.

Yuzu looked at Asuka warily, gripping her Duel Disk tightly: "Who are you? Are you also from the Dimensional Fusion?"

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."

Asuka smiled and waved her hand, her tone gentle, "I'm not from the academy..."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Not now. I just can't stand the rule of King Akama Zero and his secret aid to people like you."

I originally wanted to help you get out of this mess, but I didn't expect you to have won on your own.

She looked at Yuzu with increasingly sincere eyes: "You have great potential in duels and you are also kind. You shouldn't have been caught by the academy."

I know a safe place where there are many people like you who don't want to be controlled by the merged dimension. Would you like to come with me?

Yuzu hesitated for a moment, looking into Asuka's sincere eyes, and thinking about how she was all alone and had nowhere to go, she finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

She didn't easily trust a stranger.

However, given the current situation, she had no information about Ruhe and did not know whether Ruhe should return to the basic dimension.

Even if it's a trap, it seems we have no choice but to bite the bullet and step into it.

Otherwise, she would be forced to live on the streets of this fused dimension forever...

Upon hearing Yuzu's agreement, Asuka excitedly grabbed her hand and said, "Come with me, let's go to Yushojuku."

"Yushengjuku?!"

Upon hearing those three words, Yuzu abruptly stopped in her tracks, her pupils contracted sharply, and her face was filled with disbelief.

This is the Duel Academy founded in the Basic Dimension by Yuya's father, Yusho Sakaki.

It is a place that embodies the idea of ​​"bringing smiles through duels".

This is also the origin of Yuya's "bringing smiles through duels".

She'd heard it since she was a child, so how could it appear in the fused dimension now?

"Why is this name here?" Yuzu's voice trembled, filled with doubt and anticipation.

Asuka paused for a moment, then smiled and explained, "Yushoku is our refuge here, and also the place where we uphold true duels."

A place of ideals.

As for the origin of the name, it was given to us by our teacher, and I'm not entirely sure. You'll find out when you get there.

Throughout the journey, Yuzu was restless, the words "Yusheng Academy" echoing repeatedly in her mind, and a bold guess began to grow wildly in her heart:

Could it be that Uncle Yousheng is also merging dimensions?

Hasn't he disappeared a long time ago?

The day I was challenged by Sheng Yong three years ago.

Filled with trepidation and anticipation, Yuzu followed Asuka through the streets and alleys, finally stopping in front of an old-fashioned building.

Above the door, the three large characters "Yusheng Academy" are clearly visible and eye-catching, exactly the same as the Yusheng Academy in Basic Dimension.

Warm light shone from inside the room, dispelling the chill of the merged dimension.

Asuka pushed open the door and smiled at Yuzu, saying, "Come in, it's safe here."

As Yuzu stepped into the house, a warm atmosphere enveloped her, and a familiar, gentle voice reached her ears.

That was the gentle yet powerful voice she had heard countless times since she was a child.

"Asuka, you're back? And this is—"

Yuzu suddenly looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

In the center of the living room, a man dressed in a gentle long gown and with a smile on his face turned around, his eyes full of tenderness.

Even after the passage of time, the familiar outline can still be seen.

At that moment, Yuzu froze, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

Standing before her was none other than Ichisaki Yusho, whom she had longed for and thought had long since disappeared!

"Uncle You Sheng—"

Yuzu choked up, unable to control her emotions any longer. The grievances of fleeing thousands of miles, the fear of being alone, and the joy of reuniting with old friends all intertwined in an instant.

Sakaki Yusho looked at the girl in front of him, was taken aback at first, and then recognized her.

Her eyes were filled with surprise and tenderness as she quickly stepped forward: "You are—Yuzu? What are you doing here?!"

Inside the Yusheng Academy, even the warm lighting couldn't mask the heavy atmosphere.

Yuzu sat on the wooden chair, listening to Sakaki Yusho slowly recount the truth behind his departure back then, her heart filled with shock and heartache.

"My sudden departure from the basic dimension back then was not without reason; I simply disappeared."

Sakaki Yusho leaned on his cane and sighed softly. The old injury on his right leg throbbed with pain; that scar was his permanent mark.

"It was Akaba Reiji who came to me personally. He said that he had recently gone to the Fusion Dimension by chance and discovered his father Akaba Rei-oh's ambition to destroy the world."

I discovered the invasion plan of the Fusion Dimensional Academy, and I also learned that Zero King had long been consumed by his fanatical ideology.

He begged me to go to the fused dimension and try to persuade Zero King to stop the war and prevent this transdimensional catastrophe.

He said that only my belief in bringing smiles through duels might be able to awaken the fanatical Zero King and make him give up his dimensional invasion.

I believed it. For this entrustment, I abandoned everything in the basic dimension and stepped alone into the perilous fusion dimension.

But as soon as I stepped into the academy's territory, I was blocked by someone—Ed Phoenix, the commander-in-chief of the Fusion Dimensional Academy.

Mentioning this name, You Sheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and his tone carried a hint of helplessness: "At that time, he was training new recruits who had just joined the Obelisk Legion. I saw them dueling in an overly serious manner, so I spoke up and taught him the true meaning of a smile."

Yuzu nodded in agreement upon hearing Yousheng's words.

That's definitely Uncle You Sheng's style.

Yuya's strong belief in "bringing smiles through duels" largely stems from his admiration for his father.

You Sheng indeed carried this belief to the very end.

"And then what?" Yuzu asked, puzzled.

"After that, we began a duel based on the concept of dueling. I always wanted him to understand that dueling is not a tool of war."

Rather, it is a link that conveys smiles. But he had already been brainwashed by the academy's ideology, and his actions were ruthless and decisive.

I won that duel, but he also severely injured me, rendering my right leg completely useless. From then on, I could only walk with the aid of crutches.

He gently patted his right leg, his face still bearing a gentle smile, as if he were telling someone else's story: "Later, I was chased by people from the fused dimension, but I managed to escape and then established the Yusheng Academy in the fused dimension."

"We've been sheltering those who refuse to be controlled by the academy and uphold the true principles of dueling, waiting until now."

At this point, he looked at Asuka next to Yuzu: "Asuka came in back then. She was hunted down by the academy for publicly opposing the academy's practice of turning people into cards."

I happened to be passing by and rescued her.
