"Choose any Gem-Knight card?" Masumi Kotsu was a bit surprised, "But... Gem-Knight Fusion has already been added to the hand card!"
Tenjo Hikari smiled.
"I want to add the Normal Spell Card Gem-Knight Dispersion!"
Gem-Knight Dispersion?
"Wow... even Dispersion is going to be used?" Yuki Judai watched from below the stage and couldn't help but mutter softly.
That's... a super luxurious treatment.
"What kind of card is that?" Masumi Kotsu was completely drawn to the card in Tenjo Hikari's hand.
"This is an extremely special card." Tenjo Hikari smiled, seeing the curiosity, and began to explain.
"It has two effects."
Two?
This shocked even the Duel Academy students.
What, what, what, Dispersion has effects that haven't been used?
"This card can be activated unlimited times each turn, but each of the card name's two effects can only be chosen once per turn. The simpler effect is that it can add 1 Gem Monster from the Deck or Banished state to the hand card. As a cost, during this turn's Main Phase, the opponent's effect damage becomes half."
Search?
Masumi Kotsu realized the excellence of this card.
Her other Gem-Knight cards basically don't interact with Gem Monsters, and this card can directly search for Gem monsters instead of just 'Gem-Knight'!?
"And its stronger, and my favorite effect is..."
"Activate Spell Card, Gem-Knight Dispersion!"
Tenjo Hikari inserted the card into the Duel Disk.
"This card can use monsters from hand card or field as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon 1 Gem-Knight Monster."
Fusion?
That seems no different from Gem-Knight Fusion...
"Moreover—" Tenjo Hikari suddenly smiled then, behind him, a huge Magic Card image lit up.
A tall knight stood with light behind him, holding a greatsword, awaiting the blessing of a maiden—
"If Gem-Knight Fusion exists in the Graveyard, up to two of the Rock-Type Gem-Knight monsters from the Deck·Extra Deck can also be used as Fusion Material!"
What!?
"Ah?!"
A louder exclamation than ever was heard.
The Nordic Trio stood up in shock.
Kurosaki Shun widened his eyes, looking at the image in disbelief.
Duel Academy students cheered as usual—
"It can even fuse with the Extra Deck—wait, could it be!" Masumi Kotsu realized the danger.
"That's right. I will fuse Gem-Knight Yellow Jade from Extra Deck, Gem-Knight Citrine, and my Gem-Knight Nephthys from the field!"
Masumi Kotsu widened her eyes.
"Masumi!!!" Yuzu called out to her nervously from the sidelines.
"Absolute King shining with light—absorb the strength of all allies, and fuse into your truest form!"
"Fusion Summon!"
"The king of Gem-Knights!"
"The absolute form of Crystal Knight—"
"LV 9, Gem-Knight Master Diamond!"
The light was radiant, and the multicolored gemstones emitted dazzling brilliance.
The heroic knight slowly lifted his greatsword, swung multiple times at injustice, immorality, and inequality, exploding with a light brighter than light itself.
Gem-Knight Master Diamond, LV 9, Earth Attribute, Rock-Type, ATK 2900→3300.
"This, this is truly—unbelievable, I never thought, what we believed all along to be a high-class user, a Synchro expert, was in reality... actually Tenjo Hikari! Furthermore, his true deck is just the same as his opponent!!"
Masumi Kotsu felt sweat forming on her forehead.
This is bad, Yellow Jade sent to the Graveyard can attack twice, and Citrine can prevent the opponent from activating Spell·Trap and Monster Effects during attacks.
"This... this guy is actually a Fusion Duelist?"
"Damn it, obviously a Fusion Duelist, yet kept questioning blade self-awareness, is this guy crazy."
Masumi Kotsu heard the voices of her classmates.
She thought of something and couldn't help but suppress her inner panic and asked, "Could it be... you decided not to hide your identity because you saw me use a Fusion Summon?"
Since this person hid his identity before, it means there must be a secret that must be hidden, then upon seeing her use Fusion...
"That's right." Tenjo Hikari spoke, "Of course, I didn't intend to reveal myself in this manner."
His true desire was to battle against Sakaki Yuya, if Sakaki Yuya was present, he wouldn't consider hiding his identity, but genuinely ask the other's real thoughts.
The reason for this wasn't that he didn't care about identity exposure, but because of Tenjo Haruto's previous reason, WRGP officially allowed and notified duelists from other dimensions to team up freely, naturally allowing him as a 'stowaway' to appear openly.
After all, he hid his identity mainly to avoid causing trouble for his teachers, classmates, and elders, making diplomacy easier, but now the Xyz Dimension broke the rules first, so it's unnecessary.
Moreover, the opponent's duel also happened to use Fusion, so Tenjo Hikari had no need for Tierra to sub in.
"The true... Fusion Duelist."
She murmured softly.
As she was thinking, suddenly, two anxious voices rang in her ear.
"Be careful, Masumi!" Sakaki Yuya's voice inserted directly.
"Masumi, be careful—people from the Synchro Dimension said that guy is... the 'strongest Fusion Master' 'Absolute Fusion Master'!"
