"We won... We actually won, Miles!"

Seeing the moment when the light and dark Masked HEROes finished off Cyber End Dragon, Irene, still in her soul state, blushed even harder with excitement.

So cool and strong… her HEROes were just that cool, and simply unbeatable.

"Miles, you're really my HERO!"

"HERO? Oh, you mean the Deck."

Retrieving Spirit Eyes, Miles pulled out the successfully printed [Mask Change] and [Form Change] cards from his Deck.

Though these two cards were half a semester's worth of research by the Magic Club, they only came to fruition through the fusion of Miles' spirit and Irene's soul, so they weren't considered tradable cards.

The two Masked HERO support cards had truly bonded with Irene's HERO Deck.

As for who owned the printed cards, that wasn't the Magic Club's concern.

The fact that they had successfully used the magic of the Spirit Continent to print cards with brand-new effects—this historical proof of their experimental theory was what mattered most to the Club.

"Thank you so much, Irene."

Shira Harth, the Magic Club president, expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"Because of your help, our efforts finally paid off. No matter what trouble you run into in the future, the Magic Club of Fusion Academy will support you with everything we have."

"Isn't that a little over the top..."

Rubbing the back of her red-haired head, Irene felt she hadn't frankly done anything worth thanking her for. She just offered her spiritual energy for card printing and then had a Duel with Cyber Dragon.

Why all the formality?

"Irene Austin, don't be so modest!"

A hearty voice rang close to her ear. Before Miles could react, a large hand smacked Irene hard on the back.

The impact and forceful palm nearly made Miles cough up blood on the spot.

Anyway, to Deion Kaiser, this was just a basic greeting—a symbol of his full recognition of a fellow Duelist.

"You just made Duel Monster card history. More importantly, you beat me! You should be proud of that!"

To Deion, it seemed that creating history wasn't as significant as defeating him.

Indeed, a first-year Irene defeating second-year Deion—in Fusion Academy, that alone was history-making.

A royal from the second year lost to a first-year girl.

Though Deion's brash and carefree personality didn't care about losing face for his royal status, other noble students definitely wouldn't see it that way.

It was almost unbelievable.

How the other royals would view this upset, whether it benefited or harmed the Austin family, was uncertain.

At the very least, out of respect for Deion's royal title, even the noble students who witnessed the Duel firsthand exchanged glances, wordlessly agreeing not to spread the news.

"It's rare to meet a rival I admire this much. I truly want a proper rematch, Irene Austin!"

"So we gonna Duel again, Deion-senpai?"

When it came to Dueling, Miles never refused anyone.

Truth be told, that intense struggle against Cyber Dragon had completely reignited his addiction to the game.

"Heh, let's save it for next time."

With arms crossed, Deion declined flat-out.

"I'm not some one-and-done hedonist. I finally found a worthy rival like you, so of course I'll wait till I get stronger and win next time! Let me look forward to it until then!"

Aisha suddenly spoke up, "But there should still be one more card that hasn't awakened yet, right?"

Originally, the Magic Club only needed one successful card awakening to prove the experiment.

Yet thanks to ultra-lucky Miles, three cards were printed in one go, and with two already awakened, the result was more than 200% successful.

"When to awaken the last card… that depends on Irene."

Shira, fully satisfied with the outcome, wasn't in any rush to push for the final card.

"That's up to you, Irene." Miles transmitted the words to Irene through thought.

Irene promptly said, "It's up to me? Why? You're obviously the more amazing one."

"The new strength of the HERO Deck can't come from me alone. You're the one who was truly entrusted with the HERO Deck, Ren."

As for the effect of the third unknown template card… After [Mask Change] and [Form Change], Miles had already pretty much figured out what the final card would be.

"And I also recommend... don't rush to awaken it. Not in just any random Duel. Awaken it in one where you feel it's truly worth going all-out to win. That way, the HERO within the card will respond to you even more fiercely."

"The HERO within the card will respond to me more fiercely..."

Repeating Miles' advice to herself, Irene, who rarely got to speak with him, unlike Aisha, who was with him 24/7, treasured every word he said like a precious gem.

"Okay, I understand, Miles. I'll follow your lead."

With the magical potion mixing and printing Duel resolved, the Magic Club's problems were now perfectly settled.

Next, Shira and the rest of the Club would return to write their experiment report, documenting this card-printing history-making success to publish at an appropriate time.

That part had nothing to do with Miles or Irene anymore.

"We did it, Ren-chan!"

Once the crowd cleared, Aisha, who had been holding back all this time, finally found an excuse to hug Miles again.

After the previous Shadow Duel, she hadn't dared get physically close since she'd been filthy and messed up.

However, today, freshly dolled-up and adorable, Aisha snuggled into Miles' arms like a contented kitten at every chance.

"Um, Aisha... Can I go back now?"

"Just a little longer~ I suddenly feel this is nice too."

Thinking it over, Aisha realized Miles spent most of his time spiritually connected to her, but being physically close like this was actually rare.

Miles said, "That's what she said, Ren."

Irene got mixed feelings, "I guess... I don't mind."

Aisha's little act of willfulness gave Irene her first real chance to look around her own Soul Room. It felt like a blend of her school dorm and her family bedroom, filled with toys, books, and games she loved.

Yet amid all those familiar things, one completely foreign object caught her attention:

A small black box she'd never seen before, radiating a mysterious aura from within.

And its presence clashed strongly with everything else she knew so well.
