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

　Inya Knight believes that Dark's dueling ability is comparable to that of an average sixth-year student.

　Based on the process and outcome of this duel, she will assess Dark Dimon's match coefficient in the [Golden Cup].

　Adjustments will be made accordingly to match her with opponents of similar skill levels, rather than with other second-year students.

　It can only match up to the third grade.

　Dark Demon is a highly unstable factor, posing a significant challenge to the Duel Club's matchmaking system.

　challenge.

　As the minister, she had to resolve this issue perfectly.

　"Both players, get into position as soon as possible!"

　As soon as the referee called the call, the two players on the red and blue teams simultaneously activated the card table. They then placed their decks into the slots, and the table began to shuffle automatically.

　The words "Preparation Phase" gradually appeared in the sky above both sides of the venue.

　Darker didn't say much, and James Gardson didn't seem to want to communicate before the game either.

　The atmosphere wasn't tense at the beginning of this second-year vs. sixth-year duel.

　But the cheers and shouts of encouragement from outside the venue gradually grew louder.

　"You're really popular," Gardson finally exclaimed.

　Dark smiled slightly and said, "If you beat me today, this popularity is yours."

　Gardson smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. After all, it's only natural for a sixth-grader to beat a second-grader."

　Feelings. You see, many people think this way.

　Dark asked, "And you?"

　“Of course,” Gardson chuckled softly, “that’s what I think too.”

　"Beep 1"

　The referee seized the opportunity and blew the whistle at that very moment.

　The 30-second countdown for the preparation phase appears after the whistle sounds.

　The player with both hands looked solemn and immediately drew a card.

　This duel has finally taken on a murderous tone!

　"--You have to win!" Bearing Coleman's prayers, James Gardson drew the card he wanted.

　The magic cards I need.

　And Darko Dimon got the good hand he wanted.

　He spread his cards out in a fan shape, glanced at them, and then smiled slightly.

　Turkey

　Fire-breathing Dragon

Chapter 802

　[Seeking votes at the beginning of the month] Darkdemon and the King of Poisons

　(8k)

　Among the first-tier magical spirits, [Fairy Tale Animal: Little Rabbit] and [Turkey] are undoubtedly...

　It is a bug-level magical spirit.

　Furthermore, using [Pride II] will allow [Torch] to evolve into the six-star [Mighty Chicken].

　By offering the [Strong Chicken] and the [Fairy Tale Animal: Little Rabbit] as sacrifices, an eight-star magical spirit can be directly summoned.

　Charizard!

　In addition, a field card (Zoo) is also included.

　Additionally, using the [Fairy Tale Animal: Little Rabbit]'s [Call for Friends] ability allows you to Special Summon directly from your deck.

　Summon a bird-beast type magical Pokémon that is no higher than three stars, namely [Eevee!].

　With [Eevee!], you have everything!

　Therefore, this initial move can handle almost any unexpected situation.

　Ultimately, this situation arose because his deck composition had become sufficiently reasonable, allowing for greater flexibility.

　However, the lack of a fixed opening move also leads to too many tactical options, which can, to some extent, create...

　It becomes an obstacle to thinking.

　Fortunately, Dach had learned from Professor Melno how to speed up his thinking in a short time.

　He raised his head slightly and looked across at the other side.

　But then James Gardson looked up and saw that he was also looking over.

　Basically, if duelists can formulate their overall tactics within the three-plus-second countdown, they will move towards their opponent.

　Take a quick glance and observe your opponent's starting hand by watching their facial expressions.

　However, Dark has always been good at managing his facial expressions, and he always maintains a faint smile in front of others, just like now.

　James Gardson, on the other hand, has his signature beard as a weapon, yet his mouth remains completely still.

　Neither of them could make out the general idea, so they just glared at each other and placed their hands on one of the magic cards.

　Then, the 30-second countdown for the [preparation phase] resets to zero!

　【Battle Phase (1)】 【30s】

　"Tick!"

　The moment the turn-switching sound rang out, both players simultaneously began chanting a normal summoning spell.

　"In the name of Dark Demon, I summon a [Fairy Tale Animal: Little Rabbit]!"

　"In the name of James Gardson, I summon [Requiem Herb]!"

　Within three seconds, both sides' normal summoning spells were completed simultaneously.

　At the summoning of the red and blue teams, two magical spirits materialized at an extremely fast speed.

　Dark tried his best to learn the summoning methods from the older students, filtering out the various light effects and trails after the summoning, so that the magician could...

　The spirit materializes at top speed.

　Although it's not perfect, it's at least an improvement.

　James Gardson, however, employed a seemingly effortless summoning method; his [Requiem Grass] was far superior to [Fairy Tale Animals].

　●Little Rabbit Hole materialized at an even faster speed, and then, under its command, activated its ultimate technique, [Soul-Soothing Incense]!

　James Gardson appeared to have given the order before the duel; he didn't verbally command, only [Soul-Soothing Herb].

　It sways gently and then releases a faint, colorless fragrance.

　If Dark hadn't learned about the Requiem Herb in Potions class, he probably wouldn't have discovered it at all.

　But even if he made some discoveries, it would be useless; [Fairy Tale Animal ● Little Rabbit] is completely immune to this type of ultimate attack.

　No way!

　In fact, most magical spirits are unable to cope with this kind of attack from fragrance.

　Before Dak could even get [Fairy Tale Animal? Yizi] to jump off the tree stump it had just summoned, it had already fallen fast asleep on the stump.

　Then he looked up sharply and saw that James Gardson had already begun to summon the second magic card.

　Without a second thought, Dark immediately chose to summon Torchic over Zoo.

　"In the name of James Gardson, I summon the [King of Carnivorous Plant]!"

　"In the name of Dark Demon, I magically summon one [Turkey]!"

　Two more magical spirits were summoned in succession.

　Located within the blue team's summoning zone, James Gardson's [Hyperpigmented Plant] appeared in front of the blue team's Magic Orb.

　Now, protect it behind you.

　The "King of Man-Eating Flowers" grows to a full three meters tall, with an extremely thick stem, bright red petals dotted with white spots, and blooms like a fan.

　At the heart of the flower grows a head resembling a flower bud, with a huge mouth on it, filled with sharp teeth when opened.

　The "Soul-Soothing Grass" is only half a meter tall, composed of three leaves pieced together. The leaves are milky white, with a smooth surface and a faint fragrance.

　Not greasy.

　Both are three-star magical spirits, but [Villager Plant] is a Grass/Poison type with extremely high stats, while [Soul-Soothing Grass] is only a Grass type and has almost no abilities other than releasing [Soul-Soothing Incense].

　If that were the case, James Gardson would not have been able to summon it at the start!

　Dark's gaze turned serious. After successfully summoning Torchic, he immediately commanded, "Torchic, use your special move—[Firestorm]!"

　"Boom!"

　Just as Torchic was about to close its eyes, it suddenly widened them, flames erupting from its body and spreading throughout...

　The surrounding "soothing incense" suddenly dissipated.

　Its eyes blazed with flames, and its body was engulfed in flames, resembling a blazing fire.

　"It can even dispel sleepiness in this way." James Gardson glanced at the Torchic and immediately...

　Ke gave the first command to the [Overlord Man-Eating Flower]: "Overlord Man-Eating Flower, release [Seductive Fragrance]."

　The [Man-Eating Flower] suddenly opened its mouth wide and sprayed out red powder.

　The powder was blown to the opposite side, but the fragrance emanating from it first filled the entire area.

　Almost instantly, Dark's expression darkened. He could clearly feel that the [Turkey's] magic was...

　Descending at an extremely rapid speed!

　"poisoned!"

　However, the alluring scent of the King Man-Eating Flower is not poisonous; it was originally intended to be a strong fragrance used to attract prey.

　wrong!

　Despite having no prior knowledge of the subject, Dak reacted almost immediately.

　"I see. The [Soul-Soothing Fragrance] of the [Soul-Soothing Grass] and the [Seductive Fragrance] of the [Man-Eating Flower] are mixed together..."

　From then on, it formed a special kind of highly toxic substance.

　"As expected of a senior who specializes in potions!"

　"Turkey, [Flash Dash]!"

　"Add it! Add it!"

　The Torchic tucked its wings back, its eyes narrowed, and it suddenly took a step forward, charging towards the opposite side.

　At this moment, Dark switched the [Pride 1i] he intended to summon to [Zoo].

　The invisible poison that had already permeated the entire arena was eroding the surface with a rate of over 100 points of magic power per second.
