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

　Match 1: Darko Dimon vs. Luke Becky.

　Match 2: Pandora Drogon vs Winnie Skadi.

　Third match: Philo Minabach vs. Torre Wadsworth.

　Game 4: Taylor Spencer vs. Mars Carey

　The four rounds of duels in the afternoon session, whether it was the first match between Dark and Luke Becky or the second match between Pandora and Winnie, were all full of highlights.

　After seeing this schedule, Darko's original idea of ​​"quick and easy victory" faded.

　He couldn't help but consider whether he should wait until he had watched the duel between Pandora and Winnie before leaving.

　Of course, having that much leeway is predicated on winning on your own turf.

　Otherwise, if he falls into the loser's bracket, he'll have to worry about tonight's loser's bracket elimination match.

　Once the schedule was announced, the eight contestants had completed their tasks and left the stage at Judy's signal.

　Then, Judy invited the two commentators to the podium to analyze the outcome of the four matches.

　The two commentators will have at least fifteen minutes to prepare for the first match.

　During these fifteen minutes, the two players in the first duel will need to build corresponding decks to counter their opponent.

　After stepping down, Dark immediately returned to the backstage area and began assembling his deck within the barrier.

　Although Luke Becky is known as the "Dragon Slayer," his decks are actually primarily composed of "Dragon" cards.

　In addition to this, he possesses a variety of methods to kill dragons and dragon species.

　Have to prevent!

　Chapter 903 Darkdemon, Farewell Battle (4k)

　Dragons are inherently mutually restraining, and Luke Becky's "Dragon Slayer" deck has an additional damage bonus against dragons, which earned him the title of "Dragon Slayer".

　The two most famous dragon users in the academy both attached great importance to it.

　Before fifth grade, Noah Sharp, the "Baron of the Night," considered him a formidable rival.

　The duel between "Baron of the Night" and "Dragon Slayer" was once the most popular show.

　Unfortunately, that period of time did not last long.

　Some people's brilliance shines for a long time, growing ever brighter. Others' brilliance lasts only a moment, gradually dimming with the passage of time.

　Luke Becky is a very hardworking person. He came from the "House of Fools" and became the pride of the "House of Fools" after he made a name for himself.

　However, most students in this academy are extremely hardworking. Once their pace slows down, they will be left far behind by those in front who are still moving at high speed.

　It was under these circumstances that Luke Becky saw his limits.

　But he did not give up because of this.

　Whether it's Halloween events or the annual "Golden Cup," he strives to acquire more resources to push his limits.

　Even excluding all off-field factors, he is determined to win the "Golden Cup" this time.

　He firmly believed that he was the one among the top eight in the "Golden Cup" who had the best chance of defeating Pandora Drogon and ultimately winning the championship!

　Aside from Pandora Drogon, he feared no one else. Of course, he wouldn't fear that currently rising star, the second-year student! "How lucky! To draw him in the very first duel of the day!"

　Luke Becky sneered inwardly, his gaze, sharp as a blade, sweeping over the barrier where Dark Dimon was located.

　Last Friday, on the opening day of the "Golden Cup" main event, he already had the idea of ​​teaching this guy who stole his goddess a lesson.

　Unfortunately, Silas Andy, who shared the same idea, beat him to it and chose Darko Dimon.

　And that good-for-nothing actually lost! But he's not like Silas Andy!

　This time, I was so lucky; it was truly a "destined choice." "It seems the goddess of fortune is on my side!"

　Thinking this, Luke Becky waved his hand to set up a barrier and focused on adjusting his deck.

　He wouldn't underestimate Dark Dimon just because he was a second-year student. In fact, Dark Dimon had demonstrated a very powerful fairy-type magical spirit, which was effective against his preferred dragon-type.

　Of course, his "Dragon Slayer Sword" is also extremely effective against Dark Dimon's ace dragon species.

　Consider every element as much as possible to build the deck best suited for your current situation. Then, achieve a clean and decisive victory on the duel stage.

　He had already planned out his future.

　Meanwhile, Dark Dimon was also rapidly building his deck. He had experience dealing with dragons.

　But the opponent he is about to face is definitely the strongest opponent he has ever encountered on the dueling stage!

　Unlike Matthew Bilbohm, who, despite being a sixth-year student, insisted on entering the Gold Cup main tournament, Luke Becky was a true powerhouse. He ranked among the top even among the sixth-year students.

　There is no hope of winning if you don't give it your all.

　But if he can't even defeat Luke Becky, what makes him think he can go to the Mountain of the Gods?

　As time went by, Dark's sense of urgency grew stronger. He knew the professors felt the same way.

　Beneath those calm exteriors lay unspeakable anxiety.

　I heard that Professor Steven Harvey hasn't slept for many days.

　If things go smoothly enough, we might be able to set off next week.

　So today's duel should be the final one! "Let's treat today as our final curtain call!"

　Dark murmured to himself as he added new magic cards to his deck.

　0

　Ten minutes later, Dark dispelled the barrier, his expression returning to normal. Senior Pandora, who was sitting nearby, walked over naturally and asked, "Ready?"

　Dark nodded and said, "Ready."

　Pandora frowned slightly and said, "Luke Becky seems to be hiding something. You should be careful."

　Dark looked up and smiled, "I've always believed that plans can't keep up with changes, so being quick-witted is the most important thing."

　Pandora said with a hint of helplessness, "You seem very confident."

　Dark said, "The difference between confidence and arrogance lies only in the outcome. Senior, aren't you preparing for your competition?"

　Pandora raised an eyebrow, glanced in Winnie Skadi's direction, and then said, "No rush."

　Dark shrugged and said, "Then watch my duel before you prepare."

　Pandora said, "That's what I think." Dark nodded, stood up, and said, "Watch my performance."

　On the other side, Luke Becky had also emerged from the barrier.

　Although he was from the "House of Fools," he seemed to have stepped out of the "House of Knights," possessing a tall stature and a composed demeanor.

　The students of the "House of Fools" have the greatest potential, and Luke Becky is one of those possibilities.

　His gaze swept quickly over Dark and Pandora, his eyes sharpening even further.

　"Number One: Dark Dimon! Number Two: Luke Becky!" The staff member who entered the backstage area called out the names of the two duelists.

　Dark Dimon and Luke Becky then approached the staff member, who led them towards the dueling arena in the center of the stadium.

　There was no pre-match interview for today's duel, but the usual referees and commentators were all in place.

　As Dak walked to the edge of the field, he could already hear the voices of commentators Kingsley and Tonya.

　They seem to be shifting the focus to the two players who are about to take the stage.

　Jinlis and Donya, each supporting one side, were also performing a crosstalk routine, eliciting continuous laughter from the audience.

　But their analysis is actually quite professional, and even the parties involved would find it quite reasonable.

　“It seems they think you have a chance to win.” Luke Becky walked to the middle of the side of the court and extended his hand to Dark.

　Darke reached out and shook his hand, smiling slightly. "It's all up to us." Luke Becky grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth. "That's the good thing about double-elimination tournaments. Even if you lose, you just fall into the loser's bracket."

　Dark nodded, quite agreeing, "Yes. One more life means less randomness and one less excuse."

　Luke Becky: "What excuse?" Darke laughed: "An excuse for losing."

　Luke Becky couldn't help but sneer: "Ha."

　"The handshake between the two players before the match is a symbol of friendship. We always hope that everyone remembers that friendship comes first, competition second. Now, please welcome our two players to the stage!"

　As the commentator spoke, the two players let go of each other's hands and walked towards their assigned contestant stands.

　Darko Dimon is "Number One," on the red team. Luke Becky is "Number Two," on the blue team.

　Dark stood on the rising platform, his gaze sweeping across the field as it ascended.

　Flags and banners were waved in the stands outside the stadium, and familiar names could be vaguely seen.

　Seeing so many supporters always gives him a sense of accomplishment, even though he's usually quite laid-back.

　The lift stopped in front of the players' platform. Dark walked into the platform, skillfully injected magic to activate the card table, then took out his deck and placed it into the card slot on the table, looking up at the opposite side.

　Luke Becky, who had also activated the card table, tested the amplifier and said, "As the commentator said, friendship comes first, competition second. I hope Dimon won't be discouraged by this duel. After all, life is long, and you will definitely be stronger than me in the future."

　Half yin, half yang, that's what's called yin-yang weirdness.

　Dark chuckled slightly: "Senior Luke Becky, I'd like to say the same thing to you. But when you bring up the future, I'm really embarrassed to say it out loud."

　Luke Becky said, "Don't be embarrassed. At your age, you've already reached this level. I admit that I'm far inferior to you at the same age. Right now, I can only barely maintain the dignity of a senior while you haven't caught up yet. What, do you even want to break this little bit of dignity of a senior? I, your senior, can get angry too."

　Dark's expression softened: "If Senior Becky still has the energy to be angry, that's wonderful. Actually... I've always wanted to try Senior Becky's 'Dragon Slayer Sword,' I heard it's also a type of 'Phantom Weapon Spell.'"

　Luke Becky sneered inwardly and said, "You'll know about the Illusion Spell when you learn that part."

　The two were chatting casually, but it made Evan Pearson, who was in the ring, look serious.

　"Phantom Spell" is a very important spell card for mages with the potential to become heroes.

　Hero candidates can use the "Phantom Weapon Spell" to summon the "Holy Sword." Sufficiently powerful hero candidates can even summon a "Holy Sword" that is indistinguishable from the real Holy Sword.

　Evan Pearson's use of the "Phantom Spell" had already reached this level.

　Luke Becky, who was able to develop the "Dragon Slayer Sword" based on the "Phantom Weapon Spell," successfully caught his attention.

　He became more serious than ever before.

　"Hey, raise your flag and let's cheer for Dak together!" Evan Pearson's hand was suddenly pulled up by Doron, and his serious expression instantly vanished, replaced by a dark look on his face.

　But he waved the flag with great force.

　Dark smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so witty and humorous. Before today, I always thought you were the honest and dull type. I was wrong."

　Luke Becky said, "You're just as frivolous inside and out." Darke replied sincerely, "Thank you."

　Luke Becky: "Heh."

　Of course, we all know that saying "heh" usually means we are speechless.

　In the midst of this simple and unpretentious exchange, the atmosphere at the scene was greatly enlivened.

　The supporters of both sides in the stands could clearly feel the hostility between the two players, so they raised their voices in an attempt to drown out the cheers of the opposing supporters.

　Seeing that the atmosphere both inside and outside the arena had reached its peak, the referee immediately blew his whistle: "Both fighters are in position, the duel is now in preparation!"

　The words "Preparation Phase" immediately appeared in the projection above their heads.

　Dark and Luke Becky tacitly stopped their "communication" and quickly adjusted their emotions to get into the best state.

　The cheers of the spectators and the nagging of the commentators were ignored, becoming "background noise" that did not affect my thinking.

　The two placed their hands on the card table, awaiting the start of the duel. The referee didn't keep them waiting long; a whistle blew, signaling the start of the duel!

　"Preparation Phase" [30s]

　Even if Luke Becky was extremely unhappy, he would never reveal the reasons for his unhappiness in public.

　He could only put it into practice and vent his emotions fiercely in this duel!

　The five cards that start the duel are quickly obtained.

　He maintained his usual expression and quickly adjusted the position of the cards in his hand.

　Just seconds later, a series of pre-existing systems were constructed in his mind.

　He looked up at the opposite side.
