To be honest, before seeing this girl, Hikaru never thought he'd get to see her appear.
"Celina," one of Yuzu's counterparts from Arc-V, the "heroine" of the Fusion Dinsion, and the one representing the "Moon."
In cannon, she was a straightforward, bold duelist girl.
Of course, that personality wasn't entirely natural, it was largely the result of being "imprisoned" by Leo Akaba for three years.
What Hikaru rembered most about her was how, in "Duel Links," she had an enormous number of voiced lines all relating to "Fusion." Practically every card with "Fusion" in its na had a unique voice line, truly fitting her title as the "Fusion Dinsion" heroine.
On the duel field, Celina looked at her hand, unable to find a solution, and reluctantly ended her turn.
"Hee~~ Then it's my turn~~" Dark Magician Girl waved to the audience as she began her turn.
Her advantage was already overwhelming, and even if Celina didn't want to give up, without Jaden's uncanny "heart of the cards" draws, she couldn't turn the tide and was forced into defeat.
"Darn it!" Celina slamd the ground in frustration after losing to Dark Magician Girl's direct attack.
"Ah, so jealous, getting directly attacked by Dark Magician Girl," a perverted student muttered.
"Oh, ohhhh! Everyone, Dark Magician Girl has attacked directly and won! Victory goes to Dark Magician Girl!" Syrus shouted enthusiastically into the mic. "Let's all cheer for Dark Magician Girl!"
"Woahhh!!"
All the students, boys and girls alike, cheered madly.
It was terrifying.
Dark Magician Girl's popularity was simply too overwhelming!
"Are you okay, little girl?" After greeting her fans, Dark Magician Girl slung her staff behind her back and prepared to approach.
However, before she could get close, a large group of purple-uniford students rushed in, surrounding Celina to block her from the crowd.
So even grabbed Celina's hand, trying to drag her away.
"Miss Celina, how could you be here!"
"Co with us! Professor has been looking for you!"
"Let go of !!" Celina struggled fiercely.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing!" Before anyone else could react, even before Hikaru or Professor Crowler could move, soone dashed forward, pointing angrily at the purple-uniford students.
"How can you treat such a delicate girl like that!?"
"Atticus?"
"Brother?"
Zane and Alexis stared blankly as Atticus rushed forward.
"Eh? So Atticus-senpai had this personality?" Bastion was baffled.
Previously, after Bastion had lost to the Amazoness Duel Spirit, Atticus had encouraged him to steal others' keys to challenge her again, a suggestion Bastion, in a mont of hotheadedness, agreed to, though later deeply regretted.
He had thought Atticus was totally unreliable!
But today, was he actually a brave righteous man?
"You guys, can't you see this lovely girl doesn't want to go with you?"
Atticus, out of nowhere, pulled out a guitar, lightly strumd a few strings, and sang softly, "You have to be gentle with girls!"
"Ahem. Also, she doesn't seem to be a high schooler." Alexis elbowed her brother to stop his antics. "She's probably a middle schooler. The teachers should send her back."
Indeed.
Hikaru tilted his head, trying to judge her.
Celina looked too petite, probably just a second-year middle schooler?
"Yeah, I don't think you should force her either!" Dark Magician Girl, delighting in the commotion, raised her staff cheerfully.
With her backing them up, the students who normally feared the "Polyrization Club lunatics" suddenly found courage or rather, with her support, they feared nothing!
"Yeah, don't bully little kids!"
"Especially little girls!"
"Tch..." The purple-uniford students exchanged irritated glances.
Yet, even so, they unquestionably had no intention of letting go.
"Enough! That's enough!" Abruptly, Hikaru strode out from the crowd with big steps.
"I thought you guys would've learned sothing by now. And yet here you are, even kidnapping little girls!?
How much further will you disgrace Fusion, the Academy, and all duelists? Let her go imdiately!"
Hikaru shouted for everyone to hear.
"A-Amaki Hikaru..." The lead student had been acting tough, but the instant Hikaru approached, he shrank back instinctively.
"Ha, look at that guy. Just seeing Hikaru made him look shorter," Chazz laughed, shaking his head. "With that kind of aura difference, he'll never beat Hikaru in his entire life."
The Polyrization Club rep's face flushed with sha and anger. He heard Chazz's mockery, yet didn't dare to retort.
In the end, in every encounter between their Fusion Army and Hikaru, whether internal or external, official or unofficial, they had never won even once.
Not losing miserably was already considered good!
Even their Club head was no match for Hikaru. How could he dare harbor any hope of winning?
"Hmph. Amaki Hikaru, just because you won once doesn't an you'll keep winning! Besides, this has nothing to do with you anymore since you've left the Fusion, no, Polyrization Club!"
"Nonsense! Seeing self-proclaid Fusion duelists bullying a little girl is very much my business!"
"Ugh…" It was as if he was punched in the gut, left speechless.
Every action, every word from Hikaru was like a blade, slicing down his dignity.
One masked purple-uniford student sighed and spoke up, "Forr Head, Hikaru, Miss Celina is Professor Leo Akaba's daughter. This has nothing to do with you!"
They slowly stepped aside, revealing Celina to everyone.
"Eh?!" Almost everyone gasped in shock.
"That bald old man, cough cough..."
"Professor Akaba got married?!"
"Eh, ehhh, ehhhh?! And he has such a cute daughter?!" Atticus was dumbfounded.
Even Hikaru was stunned.
'Wait, in this world, Leo Akaba openly acknowledged Celina as his daughter?? That's insane!'
While thinking that, Hikaru continued to act and speak without pause.
"So what if she's Professor Akaba's daughter? That doesn't justify what you're doing!"
He pointed firmly at Celina, speaking even more resolutely.
"You're dragging her by force, even leaving red marks on her arm, what kind of justification is that? At the very least, she should be allowed to choose for herself!"
"Hmph, what's there to ask? Of course," The Fusion Army leader started talking confidently.
"Ah! You're that Ultimate Fusion Duelist!" Celina spotted Hikaru among the students, imdiately recalling what she had seen in the lab earlier.
Ignoring the Fusion Army's darkening expressions, she bead brightly.
"Can I learn Fusion from you!?"
"..."
Silence.
A deathly silence fell over the area, all around.
Faintly, snickering could be heard among the students.
"Hahahaha," Chazz was the first to burst out laughing. "Looks like even Professor Akaba's daughter doesn't believe in his nonsense!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Thunderous laughter erupted all around.
