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

　As soon as the "Tianshan Cloud Dragon" flew out of the "Dragon Turning Pot," it sprayed countless streams of energy into the arena, turning the entire area into a misty, cloud-shrouded space.

　Meanwhile, in the blue team's summoning zone.

　Gina Grant, however, waved her hand and summoned a magician in the blue team's summoning zone.

　The three-star super-powered magical spirit is "The Magician Gambler". "The Magician Gambler" is a magical spirit with the prefix "The Magician" from the Tarot cards.

　He was both a magician and a gambler, with three dice floating above his head.

　When the three dice stop spinning, the number facing up represents its magic, attack, and defense.

　When it is summoned, the die has actually already been rolled once.

　Its original magic attack and defense stats will also have a temporary value. Basically, it's 500 points multiplied by the dice roll. In other words, the highest possible value for this "Magician Gambler" card can reach 3000 points!

　Moreover, its first ultimate skill is "Refresh Dice", which means that when you get a small number, you can roll the dice again.

　Of course, this ultimate skill can be used to reset the three attributes not only - its other ultimate skills also require rolling dice!

　For example, one of his special moves is called "The Magician's New Clothes," which allows you to change the star rating of "The Magician Gambler" by rolling dice.

　With a flick of her finger, Gina Grant changed the star rating of the "Magician Gambler" card from three stars to six stars!

　Immediately afterward, taking advantage of the moment when the "Dragon Spinning Pot" produced the "White Dragon Abyss," she had the "Magician Gambler" use another ultimate move—the [Murder Box].

　As the dice were rolled and spun, "The Magician Gambler" conjured up five cube-shaped boxes out of thin air in front of the blue team's summoning area.

　The boxes were jet black, painted with nebulae, and each was two meters square. An object was hidden inside one of the boxes, and the target opponent had to smash each box to find the hidden item.

　The "killer box" can absorb and transfer damage; only one box can be destroyed at a time.

　Furthermore, the destruction of each box will increase the defense of the remaining boxes.

　Gina Grant directly hid the blue magic ball in the "killing box" and then summoned another three-star magic spirit—[Wheel of Fortune? Imitator]

　When both "Wheel of Fortune" and "The Magician" are present, the probability of "The Magician" rolling a higher number increases.

　When "Wheel of Fortune - Imitator" is summoned, if "Magician" is present, it will gain the same attributes and star rating as "Magician".

　In this way, Gina Grant now has two six-star sacrifices.

　But six stars plus six stars does not equal nine stars...

　Of course, this was just a tactic to prevent being instantly defeated. She still had three cards in her hand.

　However, at this very moment, Pandora had already used the "White Dragon of the Heavenly Barrier" as a sacrifice to specially summon the "Cloud Dragon of the Heavenly Mountain"!

　A cloud of snow-white light then surged forth, spreading gently across the entire area.

　It rises and gradually separates into several layers.

　However, it did not shroud the entire area in mist. "The 'Tianshan Cloud Dragon' is born with clouds. Its speed in the clouds will increase to the limit, its evasion ability will also increase, and it can create 'cloud shadows' in the clouds."

　After "Tianshan Yunlong" split into two "cloud shadows" on the spot, Inia Knight on the commentary stand quickly explained.

　Then, the main body plus the cloud shadow, the three "Tianshan Cloud Dragons" suddenly rushed towards the blue side's half of the territory.

　At this moment, "Wheel of Fortune? Imitator" clapped his hands, and a ring suddenly expanded, covering half of the blue team's area.

　The main body of "Tianshan Cloud Dragon" came to an instant stop, but the two "cloud shadows" suddenly disintegrated after crashing into the force field of "Circle of Destiny".

　But after they dispersed, the air was disturbed, and two more "cloud shadows" were generated.

　"Tianshan Cloud Dragon" can shift its position among these "cloud shadows," making it impossible for people to distinguish between the real and the fake.

　But now, of course, there's no need for it to dodge.

　"The 'Circle of Fate' resists change, the 'Sky Dragon' smashes it!" Pandora suddenly commanded.

　Then the "Tianshan Cloud Dragon" suddenly exerted its strength, and the dragon horns on its head slammed into the force field of the "Circle of Destiny".

　Cracks immediately appeared on the ring, but it did not shatter. The Wheel of Fortune guided the power of fate for its own use.

　Samsung's "Wheel of Fortune? Imitator" alone, with its "Circle of Fate" unfolding, was enough to temporarily block the attack of the Nine-Star White Dragon.

　"Tianshan Cloud Dragon" crashed into the "Ring of Fate" three times before it suddenly shattered. But by then, the first round had already passed.

　Both sides were relatively restrained in this first round.

　Pandora only attempted to attack, while Gina Grant went entirely on the defensive, summoning two magical spirits and then unleashing a ritual card.

　The effect of that ritual card is unknown, but Pandora judges that it is highly likely to be the "Sword - Dragon Slayer Ritual"!

　The ritual effect of "Sword - Dragon Slayer Ritual" is that when a dragon breaks through an ally's defensive barrier, shield, or other protective structure, the Dragon Slayer Sword is drawn and decapitates the dragon with a single strike.

　"Tianshan Cloud Dragon" is just an ordinary nine-star formation and cannot withstand the "Sword-Slaying Dragon Ritual".

　But "Sky Dragon" is acceptable!

　In just the second round, Pandora acquired a "Sky Dragon". At the same time, she also drew a "White Dragon Flute" that can search for the White Dragon.

　Legend has it that there was a commoner woman who was skilled in ventriloquism and often sat by the river playing the flute. One day, she suddenly woke up a white dragon that was sleeping in the river and became the white dragon's food.

　Although the legend is not romantic, it is enough to illustrate the effect of the "White Dragon Flute".

　However, Pandora's "White Dragon Flute" can only summon the White Dragon's Spell Spirit card to her hand—even if it's not in the deck, but far away.

　By using "White Dragon Flute", she can add another "Sky White Dragon" to her hand.

　However, she did not do that for the time being. Instead, she chose to sacrifice and summon, offering the "Tianshan Cloud Dragon" as a transitional offering to directly summon the "Tianqiong White Dragon" from her hand!

　At the same time, she activated the "Dragon Jar" to Special Summon a second dragon.

　"Dragon Pot" is a continuous card that can be summoned once per turn.

　However, with each consecutive summon, the probability of obtaining a high-star dragon species will decrease significantly.

　If there are no low-level dragons in the deck, the summoning may even fail. But even if it can only summon a three-star dragon, it is still a powerful item card that can replenish tributes.

　Pandora glanced over and saw a three-star "White Feather Light Dragon" being shaken and blown towards her.

　Samsung's "White Feather Light Dragon" has a special special move - "Prayer of the Angel of Light", which can Special Summon a Level 6 Light Attribute Dragon from the Deck.

　Without hesitation, Pandora ordered her to use "Prayer of the Angel of Light" to Special Summon "Pure White Dragon Princess"!

　In the blink of an eye, there appeared a "Sky White Dragon", a "Pure White Dragon Princess", and a (White Jade Light Dragon).

　If Pandora so desires, she can even immediately sacrifice and summon a second "Sky Dragon"!

　And on the opposite side.

　On Gina Grant's summoning area, a nine-star magical spirit—"Emperor White Lion"—has already materialized!

　The lion-man king with a snow-white mane descended with his throne.

　Gina Grant used a ritual card, "Wand of the White Lion," to summon it.

　The price was a magical sprite on the field.

　She abandoned "The Wheel of Fortune - The Imitator" and kept "The Magician - The Gambler".

　With the arrival of "Emperor White Lion", the bond between "Emperor" and "Magician" is triggered - "Emperor and Clown".

　The Joker feigns madness just to make people laugh. As long as the Emperor lives, the Joker lives.

　The magician's costume on "The Magician Gambler" was transformed into a clown costume by the effect, and he also put on a ridiculous clown mask.

　Even its "killing box" has been transformed into a colorful box.

　"Roar--"

　The roaring dragon showed no fear of the "Sword? Dragon Slaying Ritual" and charged straight into the blue team's half of the map, biting at (Emperor? White Lion).

　Both are nine-star magical spirits, but "Sky White Dragon" and "Emperor White Lion" differ greatly in terms of stats alone.

　With one bite, half of the "Emperor White Lion's" body will be buried.

　But suddenly a voice rang out from the void: "Your subject shall die in my place!"

　Suddenly, a clown-like figure, "Magician Gambler," appeared before the [Sky Dragon].

　"Magician Gambler" was bitten to pieces, but it also temporarily blocked "Sky White Dragon's" attack.

　But when the "Sky Dragon" stopped, a white figure suddenly rushed out from behind it, and the dragon spear in its hand pierced the heart of the "Emperor White Lion" in an instant!

　If this were a real person, "Emperor White Lion" would surely have died on the spot.

　But it was a magical spirit, and having its heart pierced was far less desirable than having its head severed. It simply reached out and grabbed the dragon spear, slowly pulling it out.

　Gina Grant's remarkably calm summoning activated (Star Pentacles - Extraordinary).

　Second-year student Klein Moretti also used similar magic cards.

　The effect of "Star Coin - Extraordinary" is that after flipping a star coin, you can designate a magical spirit. If the star coin lands heads, its three main attributes are doubled; otherwise, they are halved.

　However, if the target is a magical spirit from the third tier or higher, the buffs and debuffs of "Star Coin - Extraordinary" will be halved.

　Gina Grant is clearly lucky today.

　After the "Star Coin" fell, it revealed a face with a six-pointed star engraved on it. The "Emperor? White Lion" stats instantly increased by 50%. Its previously mediocre stats among the nine stars suddenly caught up with the "Celestial White Dragon".

　Then it suddenly stood up, actually breaking free from the throne, and punched "Pure White Dragon Princess" with "Emperor's Path Killing Fist"!

　The punch struck, and "Pure White Dragon Princess" shattered instantly. But it instantly reformed the moment it shattered.

　The same crack appeared on the "White Feather Light Dragon". This three-star light dragon was destroyed in place of the "Pure White Dragon Princess". The "Pure White Dragon Princess" was restored to its original state.

　"Ultimate move—'Dragon Lance World'!" Pandora Drogon's voice suddenly rang out.

　Once restored to her original state, the "Pure White Dragon Princess" plunged her dragon spear heavily into the ground.

　The blood flames, radiating intense light, originated from the tip of the spear and spread out instantly.

　In the blink of an eye, the entire arena was engulfed in blood flames.

　The "Pure White Dragon Princess" was filled with fighting spirit and charged towards the "Emperor? White Lion" once again. But above the head of the "Emperor? White Lion" appeared a "Holy Grail" that shone with golden light!

　The Holy Grail was tilted, and clear, transparent spring water flowed down from it, forming a water curtain that surrounded the Emperor and the White Lion.

　The attacks from "Sky White Dragon" and "Pure White Dragon Princess" were greatly reduced in force as they passed through the water curtain, and when they struck "Emperor White Lion," they were barely a scratch.

　The two sides were locked in a protracted war.

　Gina Grant's "Tarot" deck is not weak in terms of aggression, but she clearly focuses more on defense and board clearing.

　Her deck strength is clearly inferior to Pandora's, but it is more versatile than Pandora's.

　This made Pandora's attacks hit her like hitting mud, barely making a splash.

　The duel gradually descended into a state of torment.

　However, both contestants remained very calm, showing none of the eagerness displayed by the audience.

　In the later stages, Pandora stopped attacking too aggressively and instead chose to accumulate cards in her hand, hoping to deliver the final blow.

　The two most popular players at St. Mary's Academy right now are actually both players who prioritize strength.

　Their decks have various variations, but the mainstay remains the overwhelmingly powerful dragons, which excel at using pure brute force to crush their opponents.

　Therefore, when facing an opponent like Gina Grant, they find it difficult to execute clean and decisive plays.

　Unless, of course, an absolute crushing victory is achieved in the violent confrontation!

　However, in this duel, the current fight is only the first move by both sides.

　If all your cards are played, the subsequent duel will be extremely difficult. Sara Swati's overwhelming board control over Klein Moretti was a result of her deck's tactics being completely figured out.

　In this situation, Gina Grant can't hide. But with the abundance of Tarot cards, she can use a new deck for every duel.

　In fact, Pandora and Drogon used the same main theme in their duels.

　Therefore, she had to consider how much more she could hide.

　This is one of the reasons why this duel has become so protracted. Of course, while this reason plays a significant role, it's not the main factor. The most important factors are the tactical counterplay and Gina Grant's undeniable skill.

　However, every duel has a winner and a loser.

　Although the duel lasted until her deck was almost empty, Pandora Dragon still managed to secure a hard-fought victory in the end. Her inner world was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

　The hidden dangers throughout the game are something that others in the game, or those watching and analyzing from a god-like perspective, cannot perceive.

　During the duel, she failed to accurately gauge Gina Grant's limits, which Gina secretly surpassed several times, and she barely managed to cope each time.

　Hiding your trump card is not easy; hiding it beforehand could very well lead to your sudden demise later.

　Pandora was dancing on a cliff, but fortunately, despite the perilous process, she ultimately triumphed.

　She took a deep breath and felt a sense of relief wash over her.
