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

　That single "Blast of Tempest" was enough to sweep through the lower grades.

　And she definitely has more than one spell card of that caliber in her deck.

　Under normal circumstances, she doesn't even need to summon a magical spirit; simply activating "Sea God's Protection" and using one or two spell cards is enough to crush her opponent.

　This type of mage-magic mage is much more difficult to cultivate than the warrior-type mage. However, its explosive power and ability to finish a match are far superior to those of a typical warrior-type mage.

　Of course, there is no difference in the upper limit between the two, it's just that it's difficult for ordinary archmages to reach the upper limit.

　But a mage like Carola, who is favored by the gods, is on another level altogether.

　In addition, Carola also possesses a very high level of (Abyss Summoning) magic.

　Although she only summoned one "Abyss Princess" in this duel.

　But her immense power is already evident from that "Abyss Princess".

　There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.

　She lost simply because her opponent was stronger than her. After all.

　No one can withstand the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in its [Strong! Invincible! Strongest!] + "Dragon's Reverse Scale" state!

　Corolla felt this very deeply.

　Her proud "protection of the sea god" was as fragile as paper in front of that blue-eyed white dragon!

　However, it is precisely this unexpectedness that is the source of the fun. Carola was not at all disappointed by her defeat in this duel; she was even more excited than before the duel began.

　If she could, she really wanted to have a best-of-three match with Dark, then a best-of-five, a best-of-seven... all the way to the finals!

　Unfortunately, no if.

　So she looked up at Dak, her eyes filled with regret, leaving Dak completely bewildered.

　However, for Dark Dimon, while the outcome of this duel was important, it wasn't his primary concern.

　He gained a great deal from this duel.

　In addition to the abundance of "divine causes," there is also a further understanding of the "Abyss Summoning Technique."

　Although I only witnessed Carola use "Abyss Summoning" once, this time was crucial enough.

　He is now eager to leave the venue and write down his thoughts.

　But after the duel, he still had to deal with interviews.

　Sometimes, he really felt that interviewing the winner was not as good as interviewing the loser. After all, a loser's interview only happens once, and one interview means one person is gone, while a winner's interview can be repeated again and again.

　Even if the audience doesn't get tired of it, the people being interviewed will get annoyed!

　"Congratulations, you won again."

　As ripples spread through the space, Senior Judy teleported over. Dark suddenly had a feeling that the host was also tired of it—but they were all old acquaintances who had worked together so many times. Dark would still give her some face and cooperate a little. So he recalled his magical spirit and followed Senior Judy to the hosting stage.

　In the dueling arena, only Carola and the "Princess of the Abyss" remained.

　Carola and "Princess of the Abyss" exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a communication that was difficult for others to detect.

　Immediately afterwards, Carola withdrew "Abyss Summoning" and left the arena.

　The storm subsided, the clouds disappeared, and the sky above the field cleared again. Carola returned to the stands.

　The contestants' booth at the Ocean Magic Academy was deathly silent.

　They wouldn't entirely blame Carola for the defeat. But with this loss in the duel, the Ocean Magic Academy truly had no chance of turning the tide.

　With the score now 4-1, even if Ocean Magic Academy wins the final match, they will have no chance left.

　Under these circumstances, there was no way the atmosphere could be good. "How was it?" Tim Doris asked after Carloca returned.

　"What do you mean, how?" Carola retorted.

　Tim gestured towards the host and said, "I mean, how good is he?"

　Carola shook her head and said honestly, "I don't know." She really didn't know.

　After all, the actual time the two sides spent fighting was quite short.

　In short, Dark made a move, she couldn't catch it, and thus lost.

　This is also largely related to her own abilities. The mage's shield was broken at close range, and then she lost; that's how it is.

　She didn't include many removal spell cards in her deck, which was a mistake on her part.

　Otherwise, if they could rely on some special magic cards to get through the 30-second burst period of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

　But now that the duel is over, Carola usually doesn't think about these things.

　All she could think about was "fighting one more time!"

　But that would mean waiting at least two weeks. And she wasn't the only one who wanted to duel Dark. The Naga boy standing next to her was one of them.

　The contestants from St. Mary's College are on stage.

　Emma and the others had already begun celebrating their ultimate victory. Just as they had anticipated before the duel began, they had successfully secured the championship before the match even ended.

　military.

　The final duel was meaningless for the team as a whole.

　"I feel that the match against Ocean Magic Academy will be easier than the previous two matches."

　At the moment of securing the championship, Sara couldn't help but exclaim.

　“Indeed,” Emma said. “I originally thought this afternoon’s match would be a tough battle, but so far we’ve only lost one game.”

　"Is the Ocean Magic Academy actually inferior to the Holy Mystic Academy and the Sky Magic Academy?" Rose asked curiously.

　“Not really,” Emma said thoughtfully. “Perhaps we are more compatible with them.”

　“What compatibility? This is clearly a victory in the draft,” Sarah said. “So, in conclusion, it’s Emma’s doing. Don’t you agree?”

　Everyone agreed.

　Doron said, "If you ask me, the draft is indeed crucial. And the most crucial part is taking down Tim from the Ocean Magic Academy. In that respect, Witt deserves a lot of credit!"

　Witt's face darkened immediately. This matter had been discussed so many times that he felt he had become the weakest link in the team.

　He would rather not accept this credit!

　Therefore, he immediately changed the subject, saying, "Actually, it wasn't as easy as it looked. Not to mention that Diana, Aurora, and Sara's victories were not easy. In the duel just now, if Dark's reaction had been even slightly slower, he would probably have been in grave danger."

　“That’s right,” Emma said. “Although this duel ended quickly, it was actually very dangerous. We can take a closer look at how Dark broke through the difficulties during the debriefing later.”

　As everyone discussed the matter, Darko finally ended the interview and returned to the arena via the lift.

　He breathed a slight sigh of relief and high-fived his teammates in celebration.

　Then the debriefing began.

　After he sat down, he was about to write down his thoughts in his notebook when he noticed that all his companions around him were watching the debriefing attentively, so he couldn't help but start watching as well.

　When the projection is slowed down, many details become apparent.

　The turning point of this duel was that he decisively gave up the sacrifice to summon "Kuguk" and instead chose to turn "Blue-Eyes Dragon Egg" back into a three-star dragon egg before sacrificing it to summon "Blue-Eyes Priestess".

　Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for anyone to make such a correct decision in such a short time and in such a tense situation, without knowing anything about the opponent's restrictive techniques.

　If he doesn't give up and instead chooses to perform a normal sacrifice to summon "Potpot", he will inevitably spend a long time "on the run".

　While "Turtle" is very powerful, its usefulness is extremely limited when facing a large-scale spell like "Blast of Tempest".

　Once they fall into a disadvantageous position, whether they can turn things around is anyone's guess.

　After all, mage-type archmages are best at using a continuous stream of spell cards to chase down and kill their opponents.

　When faced with relentless magical attacks, duelists may find it difficult to even catch their breath.

　If Dark hadn't genuinely felt threatened by Carola, he wouldn't have chosen a quick victory; he would have preferred to observe "Abyss Summoning" more closely.

　What followed was essentially a matter of course. Although it seemed dangerous, it was actually all under control.

　Carola may have more trump cards and more restrictive measures like "Dance of Solitude," but she won't have the chance to show them again.

　It must be said that slow-motion replay is a good practice.

　Otherwise, most viewers would only have the image of a storm and a dragon's roar in their minds after watching the duel, and once the excitement fades, nothing would remain.

　Only through post-match analysis by professional analysts can the audience truly understand the duelists' prowess, thus inspiring even greater admiration for them.

　Humans are creatures that "follow the crowd."

　When a person has a large enough number of fans, more people will join in based on the "herd mentality" and become assimilated into fans.

　The "divine cause" is likened to an audience, and they actually have a certain degree of "conformity".

　Therefore, the more popular a duelist is, the more likely they are to attract more "gods" after making a brilliant move.

　This is also the experience the professors gained from the duels these past few days. Therefore, becoming a popular duelist has substantial benefits.

　When the debriefing was over, applause rang out again.

　On the St. Mary's Academy's stage, the team members were also asking Dark questions.

　For example, how to quickly discover the limiting effects of "Dance of Solitude"?

　Dak generously shared his experience with the team members.

　Immediately afterwards, the game entered the final strategy phase.

　However, since the final duel was not a contest of any particular outcome, the contestants were all in a relatively calm state of mind.

　After discussion, Emma was ultimately chosen to perform.

　Although this sixth duel was no longer about winning or losing, of course, one should win if possible.

　Five to one is definitely stronger than four to two.

　Meanwhile, on the contestant stage of the Ocean Magic Academy.

　Since their fate was sealed, the Ocean Magic Academy no longer cared about this final duel.

　But setting aside team factors, as an individual duelist, one would certainly want to win.

　After all, only the victor can obtain a large amount of "divine cause".

　The Ocean Magic Academy ultimately confirmed that its main contestant would be Scarlett Bessie from the [Sea Clam Clan].

　Scarlett Bessie's hair is translucent, and her skin has a very peculiar transparency.

　Her features are relatively delicate, but her thin eyebrows are covered by her overly long bangs, making her appear very low-key and inconspicuous.

　She doesn't have the aura of a strong person, but she is indeed a main competition contestant.

　As host Judy announced the duelists from both academies, Emma and Scarlett ascended the rising platform to the dueling arena, activated their domains, and began their duel.

　It was another all-out duel, with no reason to hold back. But soon after the duel began, Emma felt a stifling sense of powerlessness!

　Because Scarlett Bessie did indeed enlarge the two seashells on her back to a size large enough to comfortably fit a person inside. Then she shrank in and squeezed inside, and never opened the seashells again!

　However, hidden inside the seashell, Scarlett seemed to be able to see what was happening outside. Not only that, she could also perform various summons around the seashell. And when she needed a sacrifice, she would simply summon one from inside the seashell to provide protection—it was incredibly cunning.

　Emma did consider simply breaking its shell.

　But Scarlett Bessie had many ways to strengthen the shell's defense. From the start of the duel, she kept summoning magical spirits or using magic cards to strengthen the shell's defense.

　Under these multiple enhancements, the already steel-hard shell became even harder.

　So much so that Emma tried everything, but couldn't break it. As for conventional methods like burning or flooding, they were completely useless!

　Moreover, Scarlett's magical sprites are no pushovers either.

　She is also proficient in "Abyss Summoning," summoning "Abyss Ghost Clams" from two three-star magical spirits and "Abyss Stalkers" from two six-star magical spirits...

　Scarlett summoned the "Abyss" magical spirit using the "Abyss Summoning Spell." While not as powerful as the "Abyss Princess" summoned by Carola using the "Abyss Summoning Spell," it was slightly superior to the other two contestants.

　In particular, the "Abyss Stalker," summoned from the abyss using two six-star magical spirits as materials, posed a great threat to Emma.

　"Abyss Stalker" is an assassin-type magical spirit.

　Its true form is a fish-man, and its attributes are darkness and water. Not only can it move silently in water, but it can also disappear into the shadows and become completely invisible.

　Emma hadn't expected Scarlett Bessie to have a stealth-type magical spirit, and her current deck didn't include any means to break stealth, putting her at a great disadvantage when facing "Abyss Stalker".

　Although it was eventually turned into a golden statue by luring the "Abyss Stalker" into a trap.

　But by then, she had already suffered enormous losses.
