The duels that followed, Tenjo Hikari hardly paid attention to.
Although there was still data to be collected, if Yusei wasn't participating, he could also serve as logistics and communications, observing the data.
Generally speaking, this is a better kind of team.
It's not just about randomly picking three people to go up. With hundreds of teams and duelists, each with their own characteristics, relying solely on observation without data analysis won't cut it. Unless you're like Tenjo Hikari who basically knows all the cards the opponent uses, and can handle unfamiliar cards normally, otherwise an analyst's help is needed during a duel.
Furthermore, while the WRGP does provide D-wheels, once the D-wheel is in your hands, the official WRGP doesn't manage it anymore. Except for the three special teams of Xyz, Fusion, and Pendulum, where they provide a dedicated inspector to check before each duel, other teams have to be responsible for themselves.
If you're not prepared and inspected, and the D-wheel breaks down or a screw falls out during the duel, while your opponent reaches the finish line, it's an immediate loss.
So, it's best for a team to have auxiliary personnel equipped.
If the auxiliary personnel aren't excellent, it's impossible to reach the final point, and due to an unusable D-wheel, they would lose.
Therefore, after these days of dueling, many have subtly come to an agreement with one thing—In the WRGP Tournament, the final champion might not be the strongest duelist, but they'll definitely be the best team.
Because only the most perfect team can achieve ultimate victory!
After the day's duels ended, Tenjo Hikari left the competition venue alone and went to the 5DS Team's base.
There, Yusei had prepared a Dimension Gate earlier.
Although he himself doesn't really use it much, Luka is very curious about the Spirit World and has this kind of talent, so he specifically prepared the Dimension Gate.
He already has a high scientific research talent, combined with the technology of the Fusion Dimension's Dimension Gate analyzed by ZONE, replication is not difficult for him.
Because of this, Tenjo Hikari can perform dimensional teleportation at very close distances without needing to return to his personal base to use the Emerald Book for transfer.
First, Tenjo Hikari naturally returned to the Great Cosmic Workshop to deliberate and prepare letters with Tierra, then placed them into the assembler, sending it to the Ecole de Zone Dimension.
The machine didn't receive a response immediately, so Tenjo Hikari estimated that President A had not woken up yet and didn't rush to await news but prepared for the next move.
First, he decided to brush up on the arena challenge in the Gladiator Beast Dimension, then considered whether to go to the DT Spirit Realm or the Branded Dimension first.
As Tenjo Hikari was contemplating, the One-Eyed Battle lumbered over, half-kneeled in front of Tenjo Hikari, scratched his head, and said, "Master, Master, no need to go to the Gladiator Dimension… I, I've already been there."
As he spoke, he scratched his head and handed over two cards.
Tenjo Hikari was surprised and looked down.
Gladiator Beast Nerokius and Gladiator Beast Heraklinos?
"You went to challenge Commander Level Gladiator Beasts by yourself?"
"I… I did." He scratched his head.
"Well done, I knew you could do it!" Tenjo Hikari laughed.
"Amazing, little one." Next to him, Tierra was also pleasantly surprised.
As for the One-Eyed Battle's previous state, she, as the boring and idle God lying in the Great Cosmic Workshop every day, had naturally long noticed. She wasn't interested in the One-Eyed Battle's self-reproach or self-motivation but wouldn't stop him either.
During this period, the One-Eyed Battle had been both exercising and preparing for a duel; she thought he was going solo, not expecting him to make an achievement.
This saved Tenjo Hikari so much time!
Compared to him…
Tierra glanced faintly at Wan Rong the Alchemist, who noticed Tierra's gaze, jumped in fright, and quickly hid behind the Golden-Eyes Idol.
Terrifying.
"You're amazing, One-Eyed Battle!" Tenjo Hikari grabbed the bear paw joyfully, "In fact, you're much stronger than you think! You don't need to be so afraid of everything! You don't need to worry, this workshop, it's a workshop we've gathered together, no one will doubt you."
The One-Eyed Battle scratched his head, smiling shyly.
But what surprised and warmed him even more was—both Tierra and Tenjo Hikari had long known what he had been up to recently, but they didn't stop him, instead, they believed and silently supported him.
Compared to his own confusion and worries, Tenjo Hikari thought he had been too 'humble' before, underestimating himself.
As one of the spirits that joined Tenjo Hikari's team early, as the spirit present before the construction of the "Great Cosmic Workshop," the One-Eyed Battle indeed had a poor start, just being the lowest-level spirit in the Gladiator Beast Dimension, but having followed Tenjo Hikari for a long time, nurtured by the Philosopher's Stone, he actually grew quite well.
Let's not even mention other things.
He was present for the battles against the Fusion Army, contributed against the Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, though not many appearances, each time was a crucial role, no longer that past 'slave.'
He just hadn't recognized himself, nor challenged himself.
Now it seems, he might not catch up to Flame Sword, Black Flame, Crystal, and Gaia, but he's relatively an advanced spirit.
Converted, he's already an outstanding warrior in his group.
"But, but it's still not enough…" the One-Eyed Battle scratched his head, "If, according to the Ecole de Zone's description, I need to master all the Gladiator Beasts' cards to have a chance to evolve into an [emperor]…"
