Chapter 242 The Academy's Conspiracy
After hearing about her experience, Asuka bowed deeply to Yu Sheng.
Yuzu trembled all over as she listened, her eyes reddening. She felt sorry for You Sheng's plight, but a surge of indescribable resentment welled up in her heart.
She finally learned the truth about her uncle's disappearance, but she also felt that Akama Reiji was too irresponsible.
She had heard about the strength of the Red Horse Zero King and the immense power of the academy, even though she was in the basic dimension.
That was a terrifying power capable of crushing an entire dimension.
Despite knowing this perfectly well, Akama Reiji entrusted Yu Sheng alone to venture into the land of tigers and wolves.
This isn't persuasion at all; it's sending him to his death!
If You Sheng hadn't escaped by sheer luck, he would probably have perished in the fused dimension long ago.
She opened her mouth, wanting to voice the accusations in her heart, but swallowed the words back.
Now is not the time to dwell on these things; they are currently in the enemy's lair.
We need to unite all forces that can be united, but we cannot say things that could affect unity.
Yuzu suppressed the complex emotions in her heart and was about to comfort Yousheng and ask about his future plans.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded outside the Yusheng Academy, followed by the sound of orderly footsteps that surrounded the entire academy.
"Listen up, you people inside! You are harboring fugitives and disobeying the academy's orders. Surrender immediately!"
The chilling shouts pierced through the doors and windows as elite soldiers of the Obelisk Legion, wielding dueling disks, surrounded the area completely.
Holding duel disks, they surrounded the area, their blue legion formations exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
These people were recently formed by Chima Zero.
The failed attack on the hyperdimensional dimension resulted in the loss of most of the original elite troops.
They then launched attacks on the Synchro Dimension and the Basic Dimension.
Even if they win all their victories, the loss of their elite troops is something the academy, which has already lost most of its troops, cannot afford.
Therefore, Zero King recently relaxed the recruitment requirements for duelists from the entire Fusion Dimension.
In fact, the original fusion dimension was not as strict about signs as it is now.
Although the age requirement is also over ten, a similar incentive-based system is used to recruit people.
For example, those who join the academy's training program can obtain certain resources, and their family members' lives can also be improved because of them.
However, due to a recent shortage of manpower, the original voluntary system was changed to mandatory.
After several months of training, the Obelisk Legion has been reassembled.
You Sheng's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up: "Oh no, we've been discovered!"
Yuzu instantly became alert, gripping her Duel Disk tightly, her face full of confusion: "How could this be—this place is so well hidden, how could they have found it?"
Asuka, standing to the side, looked serious and instantly realized the key: "It's those police officers who were chasing you before!"
It's no coincidence that you were able to easily defeat them; they deliberately let you win!
We've been following you all this way to find our secret hideout!
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, but it was too late; the Obelisk Legion's offensive had already begun.
"We can't let them break in!"
The boys and girls in the Yusheng Academy stood up one after another, unfolded their dueling disks in unison, and looked determined.
"We must protect this place, protect Teacher You Sheng's hard work!"
These children were all rescued and taken in by You Sheng; they did not want to become tools of the academy's war.
At this moment, they are willing to step forward to protect the shelter.
"Everyone, please don't act rashly!"
Yu Sheng, leaning on his cane, stood in front of the crowd. "The enemy is the Obelisk Legion. You are no match for them. You cannot sacrifice yourselves in vain."
He looked out the door, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, as if he had already made his decision: "This matter started because of me, and it should end with me."
I went to the academy headquarters in person to see King Akama Zero.
This time, I will personally settle things with him and completely stop this war.
"Teacher, no! It's too dangerous!"
"King Chiba Zero will never listen to you; going there will only be walking into a trap!"
Everyone tried to dissuade him, their faces full of worry, but You Sheng's mind was made up.
"Only if I go can this crisis be completely resolved and I can protect all of you."
You Sheng turned around, looked at everyone gently, and his gaze fell on Youzi.
"Yuzu, I'm leaving this place to you and Asuka. Please protect them for me."
Before anyone could say anything more, You Sheng pushed open the door, leaned on his cane, and walked alone toward the Obelisk Legion.
"I want to see King Akama Zero. Take me to the main campus of the academy."
The legionary soldiers all turned to look, and then made way for them.
Inside the Yusheng Academy, Yuzu watched his retreating figure, her heart filled with a mix of turmoil and worry.
She not only had to protect Yousheng Academy, but also had to contact her friends as soon as possible!
Just as Yusho Sakaki was heading alone towards the main campus of the academy and Yusho Academy to begin his battle to protect it, a small, hidden boat quietly docked on the outskirts of the isolated island where the Fusion Dimensional Academy was located.
The elite troops of the spearmen are quietly landing under the cover of night and the waves.
This was the surprise attack plan devised by Akama Reiji and the others: to mobilize all the main force of the spearmen to infiltrate the island first and create a diversion.
If they encounter enemy resistance, Akama Reiji and Akama Reiro will avoid direct confrontation and use their familiarity with the academy's terrain to sneak into the academy's core through a hidden side passage.
By sneaking around to the core of the academy through a hidden side passage, they found Red Horse Zero King directly, confronted him face-to-face, and seized the opportunity to stop his invasion plan.
The remaining six—Sakaki Yuya, Sawatari Shingo, Gongensaka Noboru, Crow Hogan, Tsukikage, and Jack Atlas—were responsible for facing the enemy head-on.
Draw all attention to create ample time for the Zero Brothers to stealth.
The reason why only the spearmen were sent to launch the initial raid, instead of mobilizing the entire alliance's forces, was because Akama Reiji had already anticipated this:
Even if Red Horse Zero King sensed something was amiss, he wouldn't send out all his elite troops at the outset, given that the alliance hadn't yet launched a full-scale counterattack.
It is highly likely that only low- and medium-level combat forces on the island will be mobilized to probe the enemy's situation. The reserve force of the spearmen is sufficient to deal with emergencies and can also prevent the alliance's forces from being exposed too early.
As expected, the six were blocked by the enemy as soon as they advanced to the outer defense line of the academy island.
A group of duelists dressed in red and yellow uniforms stood in neat rows in front of them.
It was precisely because they were the low- to medium-level combatants of the Fusion Dimensional Academy that they held mass-produced duel disks, their expressions solemn, yet unable to conceal their naivety and inexperience.
Needless to say, it's obvious that this is a suicide squad recruited by Akama Zero-Oh to make up the numbers.
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on Academy Island!"
The lead duelist in red shouted sternly, "Surrender immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Jack Atlas crossed his arms, a disdainful smile playing on his lips: "You bunch of ragtag soldiers, you think you're worthy to block our way?"
"Enough talk, let's duel!"
At the command of the red-clad duelist, dozens of duelists in red and yellow uniforms launched an attack simultaneously, and mass-produced monsters appeared one after another, their dense barrage of attacks heading straight for the six.
