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

　……

　Card Name: White Female Boxer

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Human]

　[Attribute: Fighting]

　【Magic Power: 800】

　[Attack: 1100]

　[Defense: 700]

　[Special Skill: None]

　……

　Judging from the panel data, it's almost at the level of a two-star magic spirit.

　In addition, it lacks a special move.

　The White Female Boxer is considered a "useless card" among three-star characters.

　However, if you only use it as a two-star card or as a sacrifice for a three-star card, it is still quite useful.

　The female boxer, who had been kneeling on one knee, calmly stood up. From her hair to her clothes to her skin, everything about her was pure white, and her two boxing gloves were a testament to her offensive prowess.

　There is a "human race" among magical spirits, but as mentioned earlier, this is just a classification similar to the "demon race".

　They are not actually human beings.

　Magical elves of the human race possess a more diverse vocal apparatus. However, their intelligence level of 2.0 does not allow them to speak human language.

　On the blue team's platform, Diana stared intently at the bear spirit, who was captivated by Sylveon. While frustrated by his lack of competitiveness, she issued an unexpected command to the white female boxer!

　"Female boxer sister, throw the magic ball and end it all!"

　……

　The moment the words were spoken, the surrounding students erupted in an uproar.

　Diana's order, though seemingly simple, was far from what was expected.

　"Could a human have come up with that?"

　Duolong tensed up.

　"As expected of Diana..."

　Rose opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

　……

　Dark, the player on the red team, was also surprised, then smiled and said, "So that's one of those moves!"

　He immediately issued the command: "Sylveon, Moon Power!"

　……

　Thus, Xiong Ling, the most imposing figure in the arena, became a spectator.

　The slender, alluring white-clad female boxer suddenly turned around, picked up the magic ball, and with a burst of power from the twisting motion, hurled the seemingly light but actually incredibly heavy metal ball—which, without its "levitation property," was now extremely heavy—up from below!

　There was absolutely no hesitation.

　This demonstrates the amazing execution ability of female boxers!

　But suddenly, moonlight began to fall from the sky.

　Sylveon opened its mouth, and pure moonlight condensed into a ball in its mouth at an extremely fast speed, and then suddenly released it!

　The beam of "Moon Power" spread out faster than the blue magic ball that was thrown, aiming directly at a position slightly below the red magic ball.

　The beam of light rippled like the Milky Way and lingered in the air for half a second.

　The blue magic ball crashed right into it!

　"Crack!"

　……

　Diana pouted.

　……

　"The battle is over!"

　"Winner: Darko Dimon"

　……

　With Professor Jones's whistle, the duel entered its final "closing phase".

　Dark finally breathed a sigh of relief. He put down his empty hands and collected the used magic cards from the card table one by one.

　This duel made him realize the importance of deck building.

　While the universal spell cards each have their uses, they lack a connection with magical spirits, and a single mishap can put a duelist in a difficult situation.

　But he has no choice now.

　"Let's readjust it later!"

　He raised his hand, put Sylveon back into his magic card, glanced at Diana opposite him, and stepped off the stage first.

　……

　To make progress, you must learn to summarize.

　The reason this duel is in trouble is twofold: bad luck and a poorly constructed deck.

　But the most fundamental reason is that the magic cards he possesses are not comprehensive enough.

　There are far too few first-tier magic cards!

　After this match ends and before the next match, expanding the card pool is the top priority.

　Of course, this is also related to the fact that Diana's deck is indeed powerful enough.

　That combination of "Bear Spirit" and "Bear Power" is really quite exaggerated.

　If Diana's summoning speed had been any faster, the outcome would have been truly unpredictable!

Chapter 173 Darkdemon VS Emma Metis (4K)

　Dark, who had just come down from the contestant's platform, quickly met up with Diana.

　Diana pouted, full of resentment; "If I had known earlier that you wouldn't draw a Magical Spirit, I should have summoned a new Magical Spirit on my second summon. Even if it was a useless card, I could still use it as a projectile!"

　Dark chuckled and said, "So whatever you do, you should learn to use your brain first."

　Diana complained, "But I'm not very bright!"

　Dark: "You'll get the hang of it eventually if you use it a lot. Okay, go check out the next room."

　Venue No. 2.

　Emma Metis's duel continues, with both being in the winners' bracket.

　Her opponent, Fool's House, was surprisingly tenacious. Although her white cards lacked a special move, their stats were good and their summoning speed was not slow.

　They managed to drag it out until now thanks to their large number of white cards.

　A quick count by some students revealed that he had summoned a total of ten magical spirits by the end of the duel!

　Unfortunately, these magical spirits are not strong enough.

　……

　"Am I really going to face Emma again in the next round?"

　Darke focused his attention slightly, vaguely sensing that Emma, ​​still on the contestant's platform, was watching them.

　This round of matches will end here.

　In the winners' bracket, four teams advanced to the next two. Players #1 Dark and #5 Emma advanced, while Player #2 Diana and Player #3 Fools were relegated to the losers' bracket.

　However, there are many examples of teams that have fought their way up from the losers' bracket to win the championship.

　In addition to deck strength, luck and tactics are also very important in determining the outcome of a duel.

　Players in the loser's bracket can learn from their experiences, adjust their decks or tactics, and are more likely to turn defeat into victory.

　In this round of the losers' bracket...

　Sarah, number 9, easily defeated the boy, number 10, who was also from the Magic Academy.

　The student from Knights House #7 narrowly defeated the student from Fools House #7, successfully advancing to the next round of the losers' bracket.

　Numbers ⑩ and ⑩ were eliminated one after another.

　……

　The new schedule will be released soon.

　Winners' Bracket:

　Court 1: Court 1 vs Court 5

　Losers' Bracket:

　Venue 2: Venue 2 vs. Venue 7

　Venue #3: Venue #5 vs. Venue #9...

　Dark found a bench and sat down, then began replenishing the magic cards and adjusting the deck!

　Having learned from the experience of the previous duel, Dark's adjustments to the deck this time mainly focused on "simplification".

　Given the current lack of Tier 1 Magical Spirit Cards and the fact that Magical Cards do not have a chain system, this situation cannot be changed for the time being.

　The only thing you can do is minimize the probability of starting with no monsters within the rules.

　If possible, it would be best to target Emma's deck as much as possible.

　But in reality, this is very difficult.

　Dark first reintroduced "Pride I" into the deck.

　Using "Pride I" to deal with the "Golden Chest" is a fairly standard approach.

　Then, all other spell cards were temporarily removed, and "Eevee, the Beast," "Trash Slime," and "Shuttle" were added to the deck. The second tier of Spellbeast cards is yet to be determined.

　Dark had actually considered carrying only five Magical Spirit cards in his deck...

　In that case, you'll have all five cards in your starting hand!

　However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that if the opponent has a combination of three Tier 1 Magical Spirit cards and two Tier 2 Magical Spirit cards, as long as they can summon a sufficiently powerful three-star Magical Spirit at the start of the first round, such as "Bear Spirit", then Dark is almost guaranteed to lose!

　The match is currently underway.

　The players' deck information has been revealed to some extent.

　As Dark gradually figured out the core magic cards of the other contestants, the other contestants also gained an understanding of his core magic cards.

　For example, in a previous match, Sarah used "Sphinx Cat" to lock "Jugu" in place, preventing him from performing a sacrifice summon.

　However, among his Tier 1 Magical Spirit Cards, "Eevee the Beast" and "Trash Slime" are both extremely weak, which put him in a difficult situation.

　But this is not actually the optimal solution.

　To summon a four-star magical spirit through sacrifice, you need either "Shuttle" + "Eevee" or "Shuttle" + "Trash Slime".

　So all we have to do is wait for Dark to summon either "Eevee" or "Trash Slime," and then defeat them...

　That's not just a predicament, it's a dead end!

　The weakness of Shuckle's slow movement speed has probably been exposed, so Emma may choose to ignore Shuckle and instead use the tactic of killing Eevee or Slime.

　As long as the kill is completed before the Sacrifice Summoning spell is finished, Dark will not be able to summon a four-star magic spirit at all!

　→His mastery of the sacrificial summoning spell is still insufficient, hence his slow speed.
