Reginald P.O.V
After two hours of walking with the injuries that I got from Dueling against Shun, I finally came back to You Show school where everyone else is there.
Reginald: "Hey, everyone. Sorry, I'm late since I got a business a while ago."
Everyone was shocked to see me in this injured state and Yuzu was the first one to talk to me worriedly.
Yuzu: "Reginald!? What happened to you?!"
Reginald: "An Xyz Duelist attacked me while I was on my way back to You Show. He forced me to Duel but unfortunately for him, he picked the wrong opponent.
Yuzu: "Hmm...Could that be that assault Duelist?"
He said making me look at her.
Reginald: "What do you mean?"
Yuzu: "At school, Sawatari told us that several LDS Lectures were attacked by a man who uses Xyz Summon. Maybe it's the same person who attacks Sawatari and you."
Reginald: "Actually, it was a friend of Yuto. Although he's more brutal than him."
Everyone nodded.
Yuya: "Anyway...Can everyone leave for a moment, please? I need to talk with Reginald privately."
Everyone looks at Yuya nodded and immediately left with only me and him.
Reginald: "So what's on your mind, Yuya?"
Yuya clasped his hand and closed his eyes begging me for something.
Yuya: "Reginald! Please teach me all Extra Deck Summoning!?"
I was surprised that Yuya was trying to learn all Extra Deck summoning since this moment didn't happen in the anime, so that means my presence here in this world is working.
Reginald: "This never happened before in the anime. Maybe the future is already changing."
Then I looked at Yuya.
Reginald: "Why do you want to learn all Extra Deck Summoning, Yuya?"
Yuya: "Even though I win against that LDS student Hokuto Shijima, I couldn't help but feel helpless when I saw your Duel with Akaba Reiji. Also, your words last night make me realize that I must become stronger to become the best Pendulum User in this world!"
I smiled at Yuya that he listen to my advice to make him go forward and also change this future Zarc.
Reginald: "I see...Okay Yuya, I'll help you to learn all Extra Deck Summoning."
Yuya smiled and bow at me grateful that I accept his request on teaching him about the Summoning method.
Yuya: "Thank you so much, Reginald! I'm sure to repay this one day! And, can you keep this a secret? I want this to be a surprise."
Reginald: "Sure I'll keep a secret. Since it's already late, the training will start tomorrow."
Yuya nodded to agree with the training schedule.
Reginald: "Oh! Also, I want you to take this."
I gave Yuya the cards that I get at the card shop and he widened his eyes.
Yuya: "Reginald...Are you sure?"
Reginald: "Yes, That's for letting me stay at your house."
Yuya nodded and smile at the gift that I gave to him.
Yuya: "Thank you again, Reginald."
Reginald: "Come on Yuya, let's go home."
With that Yuya and I went back to his home for his training in the Summoning method.
Timeskip
Next day at the Maiami City Harbour. We're at the Maiami Harbour to help Yuya to learn all Extra Deck Summoning.
Reginald: "Okay the first step, is to change your Deck first."
Yuya is surprised by what I said.
Yuya: "What?! Why should I change my Deck?"
Reginald: "The first step to becoming a great Duelist is to expandable your playing style to your Deck. As I remember your father's Deck is Performapals Deck, right?" said with a neutral look
Yuya: "But this Deck was mine! My father was giving this Deck to me! So technically Performapals was mine!" said with a serious look
Reginald: "Yes, I understand you have a strong bond with your Performapals. But how about your Ace monster Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and your Pendulum Magicians?"
Yuya was surprised about other cards besides Performapals.
Reginald: "How about this? You can combine those three Archetypes and make them your Deck. But let me see your Deck first, I promise this Deck will be strong and fun to use."
Yuya thinks for a moment and he finally nodded and gave his Deck to me.
Yuya: "Okay, Reginald. Here's me Deck!"
Mini Timeskip
After an hour, I was finally done and giving back the Deck to Yuya. The change that I made was just to get rid of most of his Performapals card and replace it with a Pendulum Magician and Odd-Eyes card.
Reginald: "You like it? If you don't, I can change it back."
Yuya was reviewing his new Deck. After a second, he turned to me and smiled.
Yuya: "I like it! Thanks, Reginald! With this new Deck, I will become the greatest Entertainment Duelist in the world!"
Reginald: "You're welcome Yuya, but."
Yuya was confused about what I was about to say.
Reginald: "Let us begin your lesson on all Extra Deck Summoning."
Yuya: "Let's do this!!"
Timeskip
After three days of practicing, with Yuya. Yuya finally can use his new Deck very well. He even can perform Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Summon in one turn. I was surprised by the amount of growth that Yuya had. Now Yuya was more stronger and confident as a Duelist.
And In the same three days, Yuya must Duel against Michio Mokota and Eita Kyuando to qualify for the Maiami Youth Championship. Yuya won all the Duels with ease.
Then I received a message from Sora to come to the Docks, right next to the warehouse where Yuto confronts Sawatari. I know what they are doing so I come to the meeting point and saw Yuzu and Sora at the same place.
Sora and Yuzu: "Hi, Reginald!"
Reginald: "Hi, so why do you need me, Sora?"
I look at Sora.
Sora: " You see. After the whole incident with the LDS, Yuzu asked me to teach her Fusion Summoning. She wants to test everything she learns about Fusion Summon so far on you in a Duel. That's why I ask you to come here."
I was surprised that Yuzu wants to Duel me.
Reginald: "So Yuzu wants to Duel me?"
Yuzu: "Yes. I need one of the strongest Duelists to help me with this task. You were the one I was thinking about first and don't tell about this to anyone until the Maiami Championship. I want to keep this as a surprise."
Reginald: "Sure, I'll duel with you Yuzu. But I don't think I will hold back against you."
Yuzu: "I hope that you would say that."
As Yuzu and I prepared for our Duel Disk and I see Sora put himself in the corner while the two Duelists shouted at the same time.
Yuzu and Reginald: "DUEL!!"
Yuzu LP: 4000
Reginald LP: 4000
Reginald: "I'll go first."
Yuzu: "Okay, Reginald!"
We draw until we have 5 cards in our hands.

Submersible Carrier Aero Shark (Atk 1900/Def 1000/Fish/Water/Rank 3/OLU 2 - 1)
One of the Overlay units went to Aero Shark's body and it sends multiple torpedoes at Yuzu creating an explosion also damaging her life points.

Reginald: "She already Summoned her Ace monster and I also prevent your monster to be targeted by a card effect and destroyed by battle. I'm impressed, Yuzu."
Yuzu: "Battle! Mozarta the Melodious Maestra attack Aero Shark!"

Black Ray Lancer (Atk 2100 - 4000/Def 600/Beast-Warrior/Dark/Rank 3/OLU 2)
Yuzu and Sora were surprised that one of the Xyz monsters turn into an Equip Card for one of my Xyz monsters.
Yuzu: "4000 Atk?!"

Yuzu snapped out her head and proceed to our Duel.

Sora: "Yuzu already knows how to Fusion Summoning, but she needs a confidence boost she needed."
Reginald: "Yuzu!!"
Yuzu looks at me.
Reginald: "Yuzu, be confident in your Dueling and yourself, and most importantly believe your Deck to its full potential."
Yuzu: "You're Reginald, All I need to be confident in myself and believe in my Deck."

Yuzu LP: 400 - 0
Winner: Reginald Kastle
As the hologram vision disappeared, I walked and help Yuzu to get back up on her feet.
Reginald: "Not bad Yuzu, your training was good. But your skills still need some adjustments."
Sora: "Reginald's right, being able to Fusion Summon is good, but mastering it will be awesome."
Yuzu: "Thank you, guys."
Suddenly, the face of Kotsu Masumi appeared behind the container, making our attention turn to her.
Reginald: "She must be searcher her missing professor."
Yuzu: "Masumi? Why are you here?"
Masumi: "You know what's happening in Maiami City recently?"
Yuzu, Sora, and I shake our heads.
Masumi: "Several Duelists disappeared by a mysterious Duelist. Also, all of them have a connection with LDS. But, the information about the mysterious Duelist was limited. The only information we know is that mysterious Duelists use Xyz Summoning."
Yuzu and Sora were surprised while I was trying to hide my anger.
Reginald: "After all, I said to him about taking the dangerous path he took yet he still doing this?"
Masumi: "That's the only information I could find."
She clenched her fist.
Masumi: "I learned that Professor Marco was missing and..."
Then She looks at me.
Masumi: "You!"
Reginald: "What?!"
Masumi: "I know it was you! I heard from Sawatari that you Dueled him! Please! Can you tell me where he is? If I caught him, I might be able to stop him!"
Reginald: "I don't know. He can be anywhere. He targets LDS, especially Fusion users. It was only a matter of time before you are the next target."
Masumi: "Don't lie to me! Professor Marco might be suffering somewhere! It was because you let him get away!"
Reginald: "I don't want to tell her that her Professor becomes a piece of card."
Reginald: "Like I said I don't know."
Masumi: "Then I'll force the answer out of you!!"
Masumi activated her Duel Disk.
Reginald: "Really, even though you saw me beat Akaba Reiji yet you still want to Duel me?"
Masumi: "I don't care!! I'll show you that LDS is the strongest."
???: "You're from LDS?"
The voice come from the container and to be revealed to Kurosaki Shun jumped out to Masumi while pushing Yuzu away, making her drop her cards while they scattered around the floor.
Shun: "If you're LDS, then your opponent will be me!"
Shun activated his Duel Disk, while I and Sora were helping Yuzu to get up again.
Yuto: "Shun, stop this!"
Yuto jumped out from the container as he grabbed Shun's hand and restrain him before he did anything else as he removed his mask.
Yuto: "I've already told you this isn't our battlefield Shun! This person doesn't know anything!"
Shun: "Everywhere I go is a battlefield Yuto! To get Ruri back, I must do this! If you dare stand in my way then I'll go through on you as well!"
Shun removed his scarf and glasses.
Reginald: "Even with all the advice I gave to you on walking down the path, you're a stubborn person, huh?
As I said that both Shun and Yuto notice me.
Shun: "You!"
Reginald: "You're an Idiot!!"
Yuzu: "Can anyone please tell me what happened here?!"
Shun looks at Yuzu and he is surprised to see that she looks similar to her sister which is obvious.
Shun: "Ruri...Is that you?"
Reginald: "Really!? Ruri has black long hair, while Yuzu has pink hair!"
However, before Shun does anything else, Yuto punched him in the guts, totally stopping him.
Shun: "Ruri...."
Shun passed out from the punch.
Yuto: "She's not Ruri, Shun..."
Then Yuto carried Shun on his shoulder
Masumi: "I found the culprit!"
Then Masumi activated her D-Pad crying to call her friend.
Masumi: "Send Hokuto and Yaiba quickly! I found the culprit!"
Yuto: "I'm sorry for Shun's stubbornness again."
Yuto picked up the card Polymerization and handed it out to Yuzu.
Yuto: "This card doesn't suit you."
Yuzu looks at Yuto.
Yuzu: "What do you mean?"
Yuto: "You can't understand how much malevolence is in this card."
Sora: "I don't like it when someone trash talks my favorite card...How about I show you the true power it is!"
I smacked Sora's head with my fist before he could Duel Yuto.
Reginald: "Enough already Sora! Don't make more trouble than it is!"
Yuzu: "That's right! Cut it out!"
Yuto looks at me.
Yuto: "You don't understand...How it's like to watch the people you care about get taken away from you and you can't do anything to save them."
Reginald: "I understand this...Believe me Vengeance only both of you become blind to your friends and family. I too once took the path of vengeance for my sister, but my friend help me understand that vengeance makes you a terrible person around you."
Yuzu: "Reginald..."
???: "Yuzu!"
???: "Masumi!"
Then we see Yuya, Yaiba, and Hokuto was far away calling their respective friends. At the same time, Yuzu's bracelet shines brightly making Yuto and Shun teleport somewhere else.
The strange part is that I can see a young woman with maroon-colored hair smiling at me. I was surprised by that event.
Reginald: "Is that Akaba Ray?!"
Yuzu: "He disappeared again..."
Then Yuzu began to cry.
Yuzu: "I don't understand any of this! Why does that Yuto guy have the same face as Yuya?! Why my bracelet shines when Yuya arrived?! And why does that guy keeps saying that I'm Ruri?!"
Reginald: "I will tell someday, but not right now."
Then Yuya, Yaiba and Hokuto arrived now.
Yuya: "Why they are scattered like that?"
Yuya picks up Yuzu's cards on the ground.
Sora: "I suggest we should go before they interrogated us."
Sora pointed out the LDS vehicles and all of us nodded before we ran out until we were out of their sight.
