The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　But the atmosphere between the two was already like swords clashing, leaving no room for reversal.

　The battle is about to break out!

　"Boys, take your positions!"

　Judy's voice rose in excitement.

　Dark and Witt simultaneously pulled their decks from their packs and slowly placed them into their slots.

　After that, the cards on the table are shuffled automatically.

　The words "Preparation Phase" appeared in the sky.

　The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

　Everyone realized that the duel had entered its final countdown.

　The referee who decided on this time looked solemn.

　The two commentators who were originally in charge of the "Silver Cup" took to the stage to provide commentary.

　I'm going to give a commentary on this "Golden Cup" points tournament, which has extra significance.

　The red player is on the stage.

　The blue team player is on the stage.

　Witt and Dark faced each other from a distance, their eyes locked, their fingers touching the deck that had already been shuffled.

　"Beep——"

　In that instant, the referee's whistle pierced the night sky.

　The moon and stars in the night sky shone even brighter in that instant.

　"Preparation Phase" [30 seconds]

　Both players draw cards simultaneously at the exact moment the "30s" countdown begins!

　With five cards in hand, both players transferred the cards to their left hands and then spread them out like a peacock spreading its tail.

　From then on, their movements and pace were almost identical.

　But in the blink of an eye, the two embarked on completely different paths.

　Darke ignored Witt's expression and focused intently on the five cards in his hand.

　His hastily put together "Paradise" deck is not perfect. It has significant flaws in both individual cards and overall strategy.

　But he still assembled it and brought it into the duel.

　In that case, he will use this deck as a foundation to fight Vittor God with all his might.

　The experiment has two objectives.

　First, we tested the deck.

　Second, test Witt.

　Dak quickly calmed down and stopped thinking about these off-field matters.

　In any case, Witt Gold is a worthy opponent to defeat at this point, which is an unexpected bonus.

　His gaze swept across the cards in his hand, taking in all five cards.

　[Fairytale Animal? Little Rabbit]

　【Paradise III? Moon】

　【Fantasy Beasts: Ditto】

　[Big Milk Tank]

　【The Laughing Mask】

　"Three Magic Spirit Cards, one Magic Card, and one Item Card—a very well-balanced combination."

　"In short, this is clearly not a joker."

　Dak's gaze fell on the "fairytale animal - little rabbit".

　It was quite unexpected that I was able to draw it in the first round.

　This might not be a joke, but rather a sign of good luck.

　The presence of the "fairytale animal - little rabbit" effectively stabilizes the initial low point.

　Moreover, in addition to possessing a high defense that is difficult for top-tier magical spirits to break, "Fairy Tale Animal - Little Rabbit" is also a very special functional magical card.

　By activating the ultimate skill "Call for Friends", Dark can Special Summon any Winged Beast Magical Spirit of three stars or lower from his hand or deck.

　In this way, "Elysium III: Moon" can be applied not only to "Ditto".

　Whether it's "Eevee, Misdreavus, Renamon, BlackMouthmon, Brillon, Umbreon... they are all excellent choices.

　This has led to a multitude of tactics.

　There are so many that they are countless.

　Before his thoughts became too jumbled, Dark decisively stopped thinking. Then, from his hand, he first drew the "Fairy Tale Animal - Little Rabbit," ready to strike.

　Through the magical projection, the audience outside the venue can see the card face of the magical card he draws from his hand.

　But from Witte's perspective, it's completely invisible.

　In this way, viewers can predict the tactics and strategies of both players in advance—if they know enough about the players' decks.

　"what is that?"

　Arvit's eyes widened, slightly surprised.

　She knew every single one of Dark's magic cards that had appeared in the duel. But the Magical Spirit card that had been drawn now was undoubtedly one that had never appeared before.

　Moreover, the pink fluffy rabbit depicted on this magic card is just too cute... and too harmless.

　She really liked this magical sprite.

　Of course, she would prefer a pink cat-like bug instead of a pink fluffy rabbit.

　"Two-star, Ground type, Attack 0, Defense... 2100?"

　At the same time, countless exclamations of surprise resounded in the hearts of the audience.

　Many people couldn't help but shout out loud.

　Although appearances can be deceiving, and a pink rabbit can't be judged by its own measure, can the soft fur of this pink rabbit on the card really support 2100 points of defense?

　"Could it be a matter of size? Although it's hard to tell from the card art, could this magical spirit actually be one of those with a huge size?"

　Ophelia couldn't help but ponder.

　Although "Princess Blood" has some hidden worries about her child, she naturally hopes that her child can win.

　She was on Witt's side.

　"Aside from being a little plump, there's nothing else to see."

　Hephaestus opened his mouth, revealing a small tip of his tongue, and chuckled.

　……

　Meanwhile, on the red player's platform, Witt Gold had already picked out a Magical Spirit card from his deck and was silently counting down.

　The two players then looked up and exchanged a glance.

　Witt Gold suddenly noticed that a smile was gradually spreading across Dark Dimon's face, and his heart tightened, his pupils shrinking inward.

　A sense of foreboding first surfaced in his mind at the very beginning of this event.

　"Tick!"

　Then the sound of the turn switching came into my ears.

　"Preparation Phase" → "Battle Phase"!

　The atmosphere of the competition instantly reached its limit.

　Both sides were like track and field athletes starting at an instant, executing their summoning spells precisely on time.

　The sound was loud!

　"In the name of Dark Dimon, a magical summoning—'Fairy Tale Animal: Little Rabbit'!"

　"In the name of Vittor God, I summon the Minotaur Axeman!"

　Three seconds later, two beams of summoning light landed in the summoning zones on either side.

　The initial summons for this duel were not much of a surprise.

　Both Dark and Witt chose to start with Magical Spirit Cards.

　But once the two magical spirits materialized, the contrast between them became stark.

　Viewers who had guessed that "Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit" might be a giant rabbit that was the complete opposite of the "little" in the card's name were proven wrong and showed expressions of astonishment.

　The "fairytale animal - little rabbit" standing in the blue team's summoning area was even smaller and more harmless than they had imagined.

　"Hey!"

　The pink, fluffy rabbit, standing on two legs, raised its two tiny arms to the astonished gazes of thousands of people. Then, very clumsily and slowly, it turned around in a circle.

　After this circle, a section of tree stump slowly rose from beneath its feet, lifting its body up.

　It suddenly lost its balance and landed squarely on the tree stump.

　"mum!"

　"A fairytale animal? A little rabbit," she said, clearly nervous.

　Although it held its head high and acted arrogantly when surrounded by magical spirits, it was actually just a newborn baby rabbit who had never seen anything like it before. It was perfectly normal for it to feel nervous after making its debut.

　"(ω) Mia!"

　(Yes, that's perfectly, perfectly, perfectly normal!)

　"Fairytale animal? Little rabbit," she thought shyly, covering her eyes and choosing to bury her head in the sand.

　……

　"A two-star magical spirit? Does it have some special ability?"

　Seeing the little rabbit plop down on the ground, Witt Gold's lips twitched, but he instantly became alert and vigilant.

　"Roar!"

　The magical spirit he summoned at the beginning let out an angry roar.

　Card Name: Minotaur Axeman

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Bird-Beast]

　[Type: Fighting]

　【Magic Power: 1600】

　[Attack: 1700]

　[Defense: 400]

　Ultimate Skills: Black Iron Giant Axe, Whirlwind Slash, Deadly Throw

　Witt God's Magical Spirit Cards have already undergone tremendous innovation.

　His "Minotaur Axeman" was crafted using the horn of the Minotaur as its core material, possessing a terrifying strength exceeding that of a "Troll".

　Aside from its slightly weak defense, "Bullhead Axeman" boasts extremely strong charm and attack power, making it an overpowered three-star Magical Spirit card.

　The "Bull-Headed Axeman" is still a bird-beast species. Although it stands like a human, its legs are still those of a bull, with its two hooves firmly planted on the ground. Only its hands have five fingers.

　It was enormous, standing over two meters tall, with a large nose ring piercing its nostrils.

　The "Bull-Headed Axeman" was completely naked and unarmored. But the giant axe in his hand was pitch black and terrifying, exuding a faint, bloody aura.

　It was originally an extremely fierce magical spirit, and in front of the cute pink bunny opposite it, its fierce temperament was made even more ferocious.
