After their duel with the Tyler sisters Yuya and Celina hurried back to Shay and the other Lancers, telling them about the informations they obtained.
"So, Lulu should be in on of these towers at Duel Academy uh?" Said Shay, glad to finally have a clue on finding his sister.
"We'll find her, be sure of it" Said Kite beside him, also focused on the objective.
"You can count on me too, not only we'll help both Lulu and Rin, but we'll take Duel Academy and the Professor down!" Celina spoked valiantly.
"It's so heartwarming to see my two best friends still doing their best for Lulu, I only wish I was there with them..." Yuto thought in Yuya's mind.
"Yuto, don't worry about a thing, I swear I"ll do everything in my power to save her, but at the same time we don't have a clue about where Zuzu ended up, it won't be easy..." Yuya tried to reassure him.
"Yuya, don't forget you have the help of all the others, don't try to do everything on your own. We have to protect Celina too, we can't let them take her!" Yuto reminded.
"Yuto... I have a question if you don't mind..." Yuya mused.
"Ask right away" Yuto hurried.
"Well, about Celina... I thought you would be remorseful with her, since she's from the Fusion Dimension and everything..." Yuya asked.
"She isn't at fault for what happened to my world, she was simply born there, and I feel like not everyone in the Fusion Dimension has to be evil, I've seen she's doing her best to help, and I totally respect that." Yuto explained
"Absolutely, she's a really strong duelist too, I'm glad you have no grudge against her, thanks Yuto" Yuya finished.
"One last thing Yuya"
Yuto then had a mischievous smile on his face.
"You really like her uh?"
"WHAT?" Yuya blushed.
"Don't think I didn't noticed, you had quite the moments lately"
"I don't know what you are talking about..." Yuya blushed.
"She's hard to read but I think you are getting through, she's smiling more than before but she only reserve that when looking at you." Yuto reflected on Celina's behaviour.
"Yuto, I'm not interested in Celina like that, she surely is not into me either..." Yuya tried to object as a blushing mess.
"Yeah, yeah sure..." Yuto smirked before going to rest in Yuya's mind.
"Yuya, are you alright? You are really red in the face" Celina said noticing his blush.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, ahahahah" Yuya laughed
"Did you catch a fever?" Celina said while putting an hand on his forehead.
"She's pretty clueless too, they are probably made for each other" Mused Yuto to himself before going back to rest.
"Nono, It's just a little hot here" Yuya tried to change subject.
"If you say so..." Celina relented retracting her hand.
In that moment a shout was heard outside.
"Lancers, I'm General Aster Phoenix from Duel Academy, just come outside and get ready destroyed, in particular I'm speaking to Yuya Sakaki".
"I'll take care of this" Yuya sais with a resolve glance.
Celina was ready to follow but he stopped her.
"Everyone, stay here for now, not worth taking useless risks" Yuya spoke to all his comrades.
"But I want to fight too!" Celina contested this decision.
Yuya put his hands on her shoulders, and looked intensely in her eyes, that he was getting to know lately.
"I know you can but I sweared to keep you safe, please listen to me this time!" Yuya pleaded.
Celina really didn't want to step out of the fight but she could also see his point, if she would get caught then it would be over.
"Fine, but don't you dare to lose ok?" She gave him a quick hug with her arms on his neck and a little blush on her face.
"I feel stronger than ever now, thanks!" Yuya finally went outside leaving behind a blushing Celina.
The duel between Odd Eyes and Destiny Heroes was furious but in the end Yuya managed to overcome his opponent, who decides to switch sides understanding what Yuya's father tried to teach him years ago.
"Yuya is always getting stronger, I have to do that too"Celina tought to herself as they all went into the Dimensional Transporter, their next stop will be the mysterious Fusion Dimension.
