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

　Professor Megan was recruited to St. Marian Academy as an art elective course professor. Later, while working as a professor, she discovered her own magical talent and tried to become a mage. Then, she couldn't stop and actually forged her own path as a mage.

　However, she is not good at fighting and has never participated in a duel before; she is a complete newcomer to dueling.

　Klein, being a well-read person, immediately recognized Professor Megan after politely inquiring about her name, and then launched into a long and enthusiastic praise of her artwork.

　Professor Gan Mei has a wide range of interests, from painting, music, and dance to opera, sculpture, and literature, and has produced many famous works, making her a true all-around artist.

　The old lady clearly took a liking to the boy who was familiar with her work, and soon her face lit up with a smile. So much so that during the subsequent duel practice, she held back, giving Klein some leeway and leaving him only a drenched mess.

　.

　After all, retired professors are often quite unassuming, and the professors who teach them are not always entirely accurate in their assessments of their abilities; it's normal for some errors to occur.

　Meanwhile, on the other side, Vitgot and a professor named James were locked in a fierce and back-and-forth battle.

　Among the second-year students, Diana had an advantage from the very beginning.

　Diana was finally able to step into the magical duel and fight back. She deliberately built a deck to arm herself, and as soon as she got her hands on a speed-up spell card, she cast it on herself. Then, she took a few steps to approach the professor and punched him, destroying his first magical spirit. The professor felt the force of the punch and was completely stunned.

　The same thing happened not only here, but in some places it was in a different direction.

　The round-faced old man, Professor Alfred, was still vigorous despite his age. He immediately armed himself to the teeth with his "Armor Card" and chased Shrek Holmes, who was also armed, until he was screaming. This led to a legendary story.

　But like Pandora, this time it was just a regular duel with the professor using magic cards, with both sides winning and losing.

　Meanwhile, on Dak's side, he was facing off against an old professor.

　The old professor's name was Singed. He used to be a professor of pharmacy, then switched to teaching potions, and later... he retired.

　Professor Singed's deck is a "Potion" deck that was never possible before.

　"Potion" cards are basically item cards, and like many equipment cards, they require a corresponding magical spirit to be on the field before they can be used.

　Magic cards that are so inconvenient to use cannot be the core of a deck.

　However, under the new dueling rules, the mage himself can enter the arena, so there is no need for any magical spirits to use items.

　The mage can summon item cards at will, and the mage's own item usage skills are definitely far superior to those of the magical spirit.

　Furthermore, ordinary duelists often find it difficult to deal with potions without prior preparation, especially those that are colorless, odorless, and can dissolve into the air!

　"Poison" decks are inherently a very difficult type of deck to deal with in Spell Duel.

　Furthermore, in past magical duels, duelists could only poison magical spirits; now, however, they can poison the duelist themselves. And duelists don't possess the resistance or immunity of high-level magical spirits. If accidentally poisoned, the consequences can range from mild abnormalities to immediate death.

　If the poisonous fog is released over a large area, there is no way to escape in the limited space of a duel.

　Professor Singed's expertise extends beyond just poison-based potion cards. He can even summon a special potion that can mutate his own body—a potion with terrifying side effects, far more potent on a real human than a magical spirit, yet absolutely impossible to use on a human.

　However, if used in the dueling arena, the potion's side effects will be cleared once the duel ends.

　This makes it possible to use that forbidden potion.

　Professor Singed probably had experimental intentions, which is why he used that "superhuman potion" during his duel practice with Dark.

　After identifying it, Darke cooperated with him in sparring, thus learning about many forbidden potions that could never be taught in textbooks.

　The duel practice was not a match.

　Some people are focused on winning, while others are primarily interested in testing.

　Dark quickly developed a rapport with Professor Singed, practicing and testing each other repeatedly.

　The duel ended only when the practical lesson was over, leaving both sides wanting more.

　Dark and Professor Singed were already acquainted.

　The college's arrangement of students learning alongside retired professors inevitably implies that students can learn something from the retired teachers.

　Dark was actually more interested in Professor Gatling's "Magic Cannon." But getting to know Professor Singed was a pleasant surprise.

　Professor Thompson, who taught them in the second year, was also a potion master, but he had done little research on how to convert potions into magic cards without weakening their effects.

　Or perhaps Professor Thompson's magical abilities weren't particularly high to begin with, and he hadn't focused much on improving them in the past. Now that he wanted to work on it, it wasn't so easy for him to catch up.

　Therefore, Professor Thompson was not among this group of retired professors. Moreover, Professor Thompson was not interested in "poisoning"; he was more skilled at making buff potions.

　Professor Thompson and Professor Singed have opposite specialties, so they could be considered complementary.

　Many of the professors in the academy who were not originally archmages have heard the news and are now trying to become archmages.

　Unfortunately, not all professors have that ability.

　Professor Ryan Hawkes of the History of Magic doesn't have that ability. However, Professor Ryan Hawkes has become a link between the Academy and the Hall of Heroes, and the Academy is trying to poach talent from the Hall of Heroes.

　The ongoing Heroes' Conference is a stage for retired heroes to showcase their talents.

　Everyone wants a piece of this fatty meat.

　"Jingle Bell."

　When the bell rang, some students stayed in the dueling arena to practice dueling, while others left to continue studying the "Painless Charm" or "Transfiguration Charm" they had learned that morning.

　Darkdemon, on the other hand, went straight back to his dormitory and, seizing the inspiration he had gained at noon, conducted a secondary transmutation experiment on "Gabumon".

　First, it was refined in a targeted manner, and then it was refined a second time.

　Using the important experience gained from creating "Agumon", he continuously adjusted the formula for secondary creation in experiments. Finally, after four rounds of trial and error, he successfully created a three-star "Gabumon"!

　The success of this second alchemy was unexpectedly fast, and Dark could clearly feel a significant improvement in his magical abilities.

　He took the successfully crafted "Gabumon" in front of him and examined it carefully, while also infusing it with magic to check its detailed data.

　v

　Card Name: Gabumon

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　[Level: eB3]

　[Race: Reptile]

　[Attribute: Fire]

　【Magic Power: 1100】

　[Attack: 1300]

　[Defense: 1300]

　[Special Attack: Garurumon's Last Will, Blazing Fireball, Mini Chair Horn]

　This "Gabumon" has the same attributes and stats as the three-star "Gabumon" after being upgraded using "Pride II".

　However, its special moves have increased from two to three, with the addition of a (small chair corner).

　Dark infuses more magic power to view the detailed description of the ultimate move.

　v

　[Garurumon's Will: The remaining fur of Garurumon contains Garurumon's will. Gabumon who inherits Garurumon's will will become extremely wild and aggressive. Base Attack +300, Base Defense +300.]

　v

　[Explosive Flame Bullet: Gabumon shoots small blue flame bullets from its mouth, attacking and burning enemies.]

　v

　[Small Chair Horn: Gabumon elongates and strengthens the horn on its head, then uses it to charge at its target. Horn attack power +300.]

　The new "small chair corner" is both an offensive special move and can be used as a weapon to attack opponents after being lengthened and strengthened.

　Combined with the base attack boost from "Garurumon's Will", Gabumon's horn-charged attack can reach a full 1900 points.

　"Gabumon" is comparable to "Agumon".

　Both are three-star monsters, but Gabumon's highest attack power can reach 1900 points, while Agumon's is only 1800 points. However, Agumon's highest attack power is in its claws, making it more convenient to use than Gabumon.

　In addition, Agumon has a burst of speed-enhancing techniques like "Mach Thrust," but Agumon does not.

　However, Gabumon's base defense, boosted by Garurumon's Legacy, reaches 1600 points, significantly higher than Agumon's.

　Based solely on panel data analysis, both sides have their strengths and weaknesses, with neither clearly superior.

Chapter 1127 Gabumon's Evolution Pokédex (4k)

　The second synthesis of the three-star "Gabumon" was a great success. Dark carefully recorded the data and then began the summoning process.

　"In the name of Dark Demon, I summon Gabumon!" As the summoning light shone, Gabumon, draped in Garurumon's fur, gradually materialized in the light.

　Dark carefully examined the brand-new Samsung skin and nodded with slight satisfaction.

　It was already late, and Gabumon wasn't in the bedroom, so he didn't plan to summon it to try on the new clothes.

　Although the newly summoned "Gabumon" has a basic level of intelligence, it appears very dull compared to a magical spirit that has awakened its sentience.

　However, for evolution testing, it is actually easier to handle magical spirits that lack intelligence.

　Dark took out his card pack, picked out the "Pride" series card, and began testing the evolution data of the three-star "Gabumon".

　"Let's start with 'Pride II'."

　Gabumon, which evolves through the power of Pride, has a small adult form and can be tested indoors.

　Dark drew out "Pride II" and activated it with a single summon.

　In the end... nothing changed!

　The original two-star "Gabumon" only evolved from two-star to three-star and from a blue card to a purple card when using "Pride II".

　This time, the Samsung "Gabumon" is an orange card from the very beginning, so there's no way it could be downgraded.

　Dark hesitated for a moment, and after confirming that nothing had changed, he took out "Pride III" and whispered, "In the name of Dark Dimon, I summon—'Pride III'!"

　This time, the shining light of "arrogance" finally caused Gabumon's form to change into the shape of a wolf.

　"Roar!"

　The fully evolved Garurumon instinctively let out a low growl. Dark frowned slightly and reminded it, "Quiet."

　"Garurumon" immediately shut its mouth and stood still. "Garurumon" is extremely special, possessing both Fire and Water types—two opposing attributes—making it a magical Pokémon. It is incredibly agile, possessing muscles honed in the extreme cold and a strong fighting instinct, along with the agility of a carnivore and the accuracy to ensure its kills. It has relatively high intelligence and will faithfully obey its master or leader.

　After observing for a moment, Darke poured magic power into the magic card and checked its panel data.

　「卡名：加鲁鲁兽」「类型：精灵卡」【等级：8o8ooo）「种族：鸟兽种」[属性：火系/冰系】「魔力：2500」【攻击：3000】【防御：3000]

　[Ultimate Techniques: Demon Fox Flame, Frozen Fangs, Ice Wall, Body Charge]

　"It seems there are no problems with its evolution."

　The "Garurumon" evolved from the three-star "Gabumon" is indeed a six-star magical Pokémon.

　This is roughly the same change as that of "Agumon".

　However, Garurumon's magic power is relatively weak, but its high defense slightly makes up for this weakness.

　As for its special moves, the six-star "Garurumon" has indeed become a gold card with four special moves.

　The newly added special move is called "Body Collision," which is clearly a burst-type special move that accelerates the attack.

　Dark infused magic for a closer look.

　[Body Charge: Garurumon extends extremely sharp blades from its shoulders and charges at its target at incredible speed.]

　Although the name of the special move "Body Slam" is simple and unadorned, it is a special move that turns "Garurumon's" body into a weapon. Its accelerated charge effect can also be active in other aspects.

　After reviewing the details, Dark began to take careful notes. Since the next step, "Pride IV," was incomplete and could only evolve "Garurumon" into "LostGreymon," it didn't require further testing.

　While waiting for the degradation to complete, Dak turned around and began cleaning up the experimental residue. Once it was cleaned up, he continued his summarizing and research.

　Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Garurumon suddenly reverted back to Gabumon.

　Dark then took out the "Elysium II" that he had prepared beforehand and chanted the summoning incantation. "In the name of Dark Dimon, I summon the magic-based 'Elysium II'!" As the power of "Elysium" was poured into Agumon, the emblem of "Elysium" gradually appeared above its head.

　Immediately afterward, under Dark's watchful gaze, it evolved into a three-star magical spirit—"Mystic Beast"!

　The Psychedelic Beast is a variant of Gabumon with pink skin and light green claws. Its Garurumon fur is also more vibrant and colorful, including its single horn, which is a brilliant purple.

　After summoning it, Dark immediately infused it with magic to check its information.
