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

　The post-match analysis wasn't difficult; aside from a few key moments, the entire duel consisted mainly of hitting the wrong shots in the later stages.

　After the match, the analysts mainly need to analyze the special effects of Evan Pearson's magic cards and discuss the strength of "White Holy Sword".

　As for Dark's magical spirit and the "Fossil Sword," isn't the "Pure White Holy Sword" enough to complement them?

　In short, there are many things he can't explain too clearly. He can only let the audience watch and think for themselves. If they can understand, they can understand; if they can't understand, they simply shouldn't try to understand.

　By the time the post-match analysis session ended, Darko was already on the host's stage.

　He glanced sideways at the host, Judy, who smiled sweetly, as if nothing had happened.

　"How does it feel to duel with the lower-grade students?" Judy asked, her eyes darting around.

　It was a perfectly normal sentence, but the way she said it had an inexplicable sarcastic tone.

　Dark couldn't help but gasp and said, "A great haul." I held back! "Oh," Judy said, "Can you tell me what you've gained?" Dark smiled and said, "That's a secret."

　Senior Judy smiled, turned to face the audience, and asked, "So, what are your thoughts on being chosen by the audience?"

　Dark looked at the audience and said very seriously this time, "To be honest, it was a bit of a surprise, but I'm also very happy. Thank you all for your tolerance and support all this time."

　Senior Judy immediately handed the microphone to the audience and asked loudly, "Did everyone hear that? What are your thoughts?"

　A deafening response immediately erupted from the audience.

　Regardless of whether they initially chanted Dak's name out of support or out of herd mentality, they will certainly transform into supporters now.

　The scene instantly became abuzz.

　Suddenly, someone started calling out Dark's name, and soon the audience members who responded loudly followed suit.

　Soon, a series of neat chants rang out from the audience.

　The call to action echoed once again. Dakdimon's name resounded throughout the stadium.

　Dak bowed appropriately to express his sincere gratitude for the audience's support.

　He waited until the noise subsided before slowly stepping down from the stage. During the interview, he spoke the truth.

　He gained a lot from this duel, especially when he pulled Evan Pearson up from the ground, a large amount of "divine cause" suddenly gathered around him.

　At that moment, he felt like he was glowing, but unfortunately few people could see it.

　It can only be said that "God's Intention" really enjoys watching the show.

　Adding dramatic twists to magical duels obviously makes it easier to attract "divine influence".

　However, just because you attract "divine cause" doesn't mean it will completely belong to you.

　It will also dissipate and be lost.

　If you cannot maintain your attraction to "divine causes" at all times, they will leave you.

　Therefore, this involves the concept of "retention rate." However, that's a project that the "Magic Alliance" needs to study.

　In the initial exploration phase, there's no need to worry too much about the details. Dark returned to the spectator stand, feeling much better.

　But when he looked at the stage again, he found that Judy had started again!

　"I wonder if you are all satisfied with the duel between Darkdemon and Evan Pearson?"

　"I suppose you're satisfied."

　"So, of course, we'll continue to nominate names next!"

　She suddenly opened her arms wide towards the audience, and after the audience responded, she suddenly turned around, removed "Darkimon" from the list, and said with a smile, "Of course, those who have already appeared, let them watch the battle."

　As she spoke, she quickly removed the names of all the contestants who had appeared on stage.

　A chorus of boos erupted from the audience.

　Judy didn't seem to mind; she picked out the names before turning back to continue. However, the audience's enthusiasm showed no signs of waning.

　But this time, the names that lit up first on the list of contestants were different from before.

　On the list of St. Marian Academy, Anna and Angie's names were moved to the back, and the first one to shine was Vitgot!

　The reason is actually quite obvious.

　This was largely because Evan Pearson used a holy sword in the previous duel, which reminded the audience of the real "Son of the Hero." As a result, more people switched their support to Witte.

　Vitter's name stood out prominently on the list of St. Marian's Academy students, quickly turning gold and then growing brighter and brighter, standing out from the crowd.

　The names of Anna, Angie, and Pandora, who followed, were less noticeable.

　Among the other academies, the most prominent names are still "Lionheart" Prince Grace Leon, "Saint" Audrey Jeanne, followed by the orc royalty, the moon elves, the twelve knights of the round table, and so on.

　Under these circumstances, Judy waited a little longer, until more contestants' names turned gold, before raising her hand to silence the audience.

　Then she turned to look at the list, held up her index finger, and said, "Why is St. Marian Academy the most popular again? Is it really a home-field advantage? Since they've already named their representatives, let's start with the St. Marian Academy contestants. But this is a one-time exception! Let's see who the confirmed contestant is this time... It's actually the prophesied hero, Vitgot!"

　She suddenly raised her voice, and the audience instinctively followed her lead and clapped.

　Thunderous applause filled the air, creating a high-spirited atmosphere.

　While Virtold's name may not be known to everyone, the prophesied hero is a household name.

　The prophecy made by the deputy city lord of Sky City and Granny Maggie of Norwegian Forest has been circulating across the continent for an unknown period of time.

　However, not everyone can match Virtold's name with the title "Son of the Hero".

　Of course, they know everything now.

　“Your turn, Witt,” Dark said, looking at Witt.

　Vitti nodded, indicating that he was ready.

　In fact, he had been itching to fight while watching Dark and Evan Pearson's duel, and being chosen to fight this time was exactly what he wanted.

　But who will be his opponent?

　Excluding his own people from St. Marian Academy, the most likely opponent for this round of duels seems to be... "Saint" Audrey Jeanne.

　But Audrey Joan of Arc should be in the second year, right?

　After careful consideration, Wittgold felt that it was not a good idea for a third-year student to bully a second-year student; it would be better to have someone else as the opponent.

　On the hosting stage.

　Senior Judy has already begun selecting a second candidate.

　The second candidate will naturally be chosen from among the golden names outside of St. Marian Academy.

　As she chose, she muttered to herself, "So, who should I choose as the opponent for 'Son of the Hero'? It can't be another student from the Holy Mystic Academy, can it? The two academies just competed; it's best to change it up. So, should it be War Totem Academy, Elven Magic Academy, or…"

　She completely ignored the dazzlingly bright "Audrey Jeanne," not even glancing at her, and started searching among the contestants from the other academies.

　It must be said that Judy's trading skills are very strong; she directly avoided the biggest pitfall.

　She then selected from the lists of other academies, naturally eliminating upperclassmen first. Then she naturally avoided the more popular orcs and elves… Finally, she settled on the name of a contestant from a public magic academy!

　Since it's an exhibition match, we should control the participation rate of each college, ideally keeping it roughly the same.

　However, under the current model, it is obviously impossible to ensure that the appearance rate of each academy player is similar.

　Therefore, human intervention is necessary.

　Currently, none of the contestants from Sky Magic Academy and Ocean Magic Academy have turned gold, so even if she wanted to, she couldn't do it. She could only start with the public magic academy, which is third from the bottom in popularity.

　Quite coincidentally, there happened to be a golden name in the public magic academy, and the student was a third-year student.

　"Wait, isn't that Babayevnidam, the genius inventor among the goblins?"

　Judy suddenly blinked, her long eyelashes revealing a hint of sensuality.

　The one whose name was called was Babayevnidam, a small goblin who was even shorter than a normal goblin.

　The goblin wore thick goggles, and although his school uniform was the smallest size, it was still a size too big for his body. Even his shoes were large—judging from the shape of his feet, they must have been padded.

　This goblin was very famous among the demi-human race, and his story was even published in the human kingdoms.

　Because he had his first invention when he was only eight years old, and now at fourteen, he has over a hundred inventions, making him a true inventor.

　Of course, not all of his inventions were useful, but if ten out of a hundred inventions were valuable, that would be enough to prove that he was a genius in invention.

　After being called upon, Babayevnedim stood up without any hesitation.

　He doesn't seem like the typical shut-in goblin; at least in terms of personality, he's more extroverted.

　This is probably largely due to his involvement in developing the Minghui (a type of social organization) since childhood.

　He is a rare socially awkward person among goblins—a social terrorist!

　Thus, the list of duelists for the next round was finalized.

　Vitgold, the "Son of Heroes" from St. Marian Academy, versus Babayevnidam, the "Genius Inventor" from the Public Magic Academy!

　This result was quite unexpected for many viewers. But since the most popular player, Vitgot, has already taken the field, it doesn't really matter who his opponent is.

　However, Wittgold himself was also very surprised.

　He had heard of the "goblin genius inventor" before, but he never thought he would have any dealings with such a person. He never expected that when they did, it would be on the dueling field.

　Moreover, the opponents he actually wanted to fight were those such as "Paladin" and "Beast Knight".

　In that case, he would also be able to wield the Holy Sword and have a fierce battle with his opponent!

　Winning or losing doesn't matter, the important thing is to put in the effort.

　Sweat mingling with sweat is what sparks friendship... Oops! Wittgard quickly put Robert's words out of his mind, then composed himself and walked onto the field.

　Exhibition matches aren't as rigorous, but since the opponent has already been chosen, he has no intention of backing down.

　Even if the opponent is a goblin who is not good at close combat, this duel must still be won.

　With this in mind, Vitgot quickened his pace and soon arrived at the high platform.

　A short while later, the "genius inventor" Babayevnedam also ascended the platform.

　“Neehowa.” Babayevnidam greeted him, but his voice was thick with goblin accents.

　Because of their thick accents that they couldn't shake, goblins had been discriminated against by many people.

　But Witt had no prejudice against this, and he raised his hand in a relatively friendly manner to greet him: "Hello, I am Witt, a third-year student of the Knights Academy of St. Marian Academy."

　"Aww." Babayevnidam said cheerfully, "I am like the umbrella of the magic cave, I admire you, my father, and I admire Qiuxing."

　Witt: "Babaev, let's begin the duel." Babaev Needham immediately smiled, a vegetable leaf peeking out from between his snow-white teeth.

　"Cough, cough, cough!"

　Vitgot coughed twice, then quickly summoned his Duel Domain. As light surged from beneath his feet, the Duel Domain he summoned rapidly expanded towards the opposite side.

　Babayevnedim immediately began summoning, and his duel domain, imbued with a hint of fire, rushed forward, colliding with Vitgold's duel domain and quickly merging together.

　The domain expands, the system connects, and both sides immediately enter the "preparation phase." Cards are placed into the deck, the deck is automatically shuffled, and the duel declaration is made.

　Jumping from "Preparation Phase 1" to "Preparation Phase 2". Both players draw cards simultaneously!

　With five cards in hand, the 30-second countdown ends, and "Preparation Phase 2" transitions to "Battle Phase (1)".

　The battle begins!

　No accidents.

　Witt drew the "Phantom Spell" - "Holy Sword Spell" from his first five magic cards.

　Therefore, he immediately devised a tactic to finish the battle quickly and activated the "Holy Sword Spell" at the very beginning of the "battle phase".

　"In the name of Vitold, the Holy Sword is summoned—'Zoffy, the Holy Sword of Light'!"

　This is different from when the holy sword is summoned on the contestant's platform.

　维特

　Gao De extended his right hand, and pure white light condensed in his palm, quickly transforming into the shape of a holy sword.

　The prototype of "Zoffy, the Holy Sword of Light" is a two-meter-long greatsword that is both wide and thick.

　This greatsword is extremely heavy, and ordinary warriors would find it difficult to wield.

　However, Witt's "heroic" bloodline is strong, allowing him to resonate with the "holy sword" and fuse his bloodline, making the "holy sword" as easy to wield as his arm without worrying about its weight.

　He raised the greatsword with one hand with ease, casually twirling it before looking across at the other side.

　But all that was seen was that Babayevned Nidam summoned a small mechanical creature when he started the game.

　That mechanical magical sprite was egg-shaped with silver-white armor, eight spider legs growing from its base, a cannon muzzle at the front of its body, and a scope on its head.
