Finally, all personnel have been confirmed.
First are the diplomatic personnel: Marufuji Shou and Ruri, whose numbers are not counted.
Secondly, the support personnel, Dennis and Serena, each assisting one of the diplomatic personnel. They are not duelists and are friends and sisters to the diplomatic personnel.
Lastly, there are Yuki Judai, Tenjouin Fubuki, and Manjome Jun. Fubuki's goal is to find Marufuji Ryo. Judai, after listening for a while, felt like no one cared about Mitsuzawa Daichi, so he quickly pulled Manjome along and asked him to help search—if it were a different situation, he might have helped John strategize against Manjome in a duel, but this matter concerned the life of his good friend Mitsuzawa Daichi, which was of utmost importance, so he had to put aside his idea of traveling with John.
Manjome naturally had no reason to refuse.
Unfortunately, this meant John couldn't go to the Synchro Dimension, which felt regrettable, but on second thought, it didn't seem like a big deal.
As long as you're a duelist, you'll encounter it sooner or later. Besides, Yusei might be preparing to participate in the WRGP Tournament—as he's a local in the Synchro Dimension, he should be more inclined towards such tournaments. Interfering with him might affect his performance, which would be bad.
There will be opportunities in the future, whether it's other dimensional duels or some other tournaments, there will always be a chance.
Anyway, there's already a joint tournament with three dimensions this time. Although teams from other dimensions are few, there will surely be super large tournaments in the future, and it won't be too late to duel Yusei then.
As for Ed, Jim, and Amon, they weren't too concerned about this matter. For one, they weren't really familiar with Caesar and Mitsuzawa Daichi. Ed might be somewhat acquainted but not too friendly, so there's no need to forcefully seize the opportunity. Besides, Ed and Amon are more interested in finding the "Evil Leftovers" in the Inner World. Jim and O'Brien are currently engrossed in "exploring the Inner World," so there's no pressing reason for them to attend, which is quite a relief for Judai and the others.
"By the way, professor." After confirming the personnel, Manjome remembered a crucial point and hurriedly asked Professor Cronos, "So who are the duelists in our team this time?"
"Eh? Oh, let me see." Professor Cronos opened a notebook, moistened his finger with saliva, and turned a couple of pages, "Ah, found it."
"Members of our White Dragon Team... let me see.
Position 1, Dinosaur Duelist, Dinosaur Lyuzaki; Position 2, Gravekeeper's Shield, Rishid Ishtar... wow, two legendary duelists.
Eh, and lastly, ah—Mr. Kaiba Mokuba!? Didn't expect him to participate as well.
As for substitutes... ah, it's Ms. Ishizu Ishtar."
After Professor Cronos finished reading the list, many students marveled in astonishment.
Wow, what an extravagant lineup.
At least three legendary duelists, plus the renowned Mr. Kaiba Mokuba!
"Phew—that's good." Tenjo Hikari and Manjome both exhaled in relief.
"Why?" Judai was a bit slow to react.
"Idiot, if the duelists were randomly chosen and got eliminated early, how would we have time to search for people?"
"Ah, right, that's true!" Judai realized belatedly.
While others were less certain, Tenjo Hikari had considerable trust in Dinosaur Lyuzaki.
After all, several months had passed, and since he managed to return alive from the DT Spirit Realm, he must have acquired quite a few reinforcement cards.
"That concludes the matters for today. Everyone, digest and prepare..." Instructor Napoleon sighed heavily.
The disappearance of Marufuji Ryo and Mitsuzawa Daichi left him in distress. They were top-notch students of their school, the pillar for making the academy big and strong, yet now they were lost in unfamiliar places.
Cronos also sighed repeatedly, even though he finally told the students the difficult truth about this matter, he remained worried that they wouldn't be found. After the meeting ended, he left the conference room immediately, obviously heading back to the principal's office to call Kaiba Company for information.
Tenjo Hikari watched as the two teachers left one after the other, wanting to help but not knowing what advice to offer.
And at that moment.
A familiar sound reached his ears once more—a peculiar dragon's roar!
Tenjo Hikari was taken aback.
The Red Dragon was summoning him again!
