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

　But we only realized it too late.

　The atmosphere at the scene had become extremely tense.

　Tiffany looked down and noticed that the "Sky Ultimate Dragon" that had fallen to the ground had not disappeared.

　This means that it actually withstood divine punishment!

　Tiffany was suddenly plunged into a deep state of confusion.

　Without the "Sky Guardian," how can she defeat this (Sky Ultimate Dragon)?

　……

　above the ground.

　The "Sea of ​​Skylight" has been recreated.

　A "celestial shield" appeared on the body of "Sky Ultimate Dragon" to prevent it from being attacked by Tiffany in the future.

　Its seemingly depleted magic power is rapidly replenished by the "Sea of ​​Heavenly Light" field effect.

　Like a balloon, it looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside.

　Even Disney's Neham, who can summon the "Guardian of the Sky," stared wide-eyed at the venue from the circular seating area.

　He probably only had a superficial understanding of the "Sky Guardian's" abilities and couldn't comprehend why it was destroyed in one blow by the "Sky Ultimate Dragon".

　Tiffany, who remained hidden among the clouds, understood something because she was present at the scene.

　But we only realized it too late.

　The atmosphere at the scene had become extremely tense.

　Tiffany looked down and noticed that the "Sky Ultimate Dragon" that had fallen to the ground had not disappeared.

　This means that it actually withstood divine punishment!

　Tiffany was suddenly plunged into a deep state of confusion.

　Without the "Sky Guardian," how can she defeat this (Sky Ultimate Dragon)?

　Above ground, the "Sea of ​​Skylight" reappears.

　A layer of "Skylight Shield" appeared on the body of "Sky Ultimate Dragon" to prevent it from being attacked by Tiffany in the future.

　Its seemingly depleted magic power is rapidly replenished by the "Sea of ​​Heavenly Light" field effect.

　then.

　Pandora and Drogon's figures finally appeared clearly in the audience's view.

　Surprisingly, she didn't look disheveled. Apart from a few specks of ash on her black hair, even her clothes were neat and clean.

　The audience was immediately astonished and extremely puzzled as to how she had avoided the "divine punishment from the sky".

　But at a glance, Dark knew that Senior Pandora must have used either an "Armed Card" or an "Equipment Card".

　Only by changing your outfit using "Armed Card" or "Equipment Card" can you change your clothes and prevent them from getting hurt.

　Based on this, and upon further reflection, one can guess that she was most likely not actually frozen by the "Sky Bell," or was only frozen for a moment before being released.

　When faced with "Heavenly Punishment," she changed her clothes in time to increase her defense and save her school uniform.

　Although ordinary people would still be instantly killed even after changing clothes, she is not an ordinary human being after all.

　However, although she appears unharmed, it is uncertain whether she is injured internally.

　However, given her robust physique, she can usually ignore minor injuries without much concern.

　The duel has now come to an end, and there is virtually no suspense left.

　Even though Tiffany is still an extremely strong duelist despite abandoning the "Guardian of the Sky," she will no longer have any advantage when facing Pandora.

　The subsequent duel was exactly as predicted.

　Although Tiffany didn't give up after the "Sky Guardian" was defeated, she still couldn't find any way to turn the tide despite her best efforts, and was ultimately engulfed by the white light emitted from one of the heads of the "Sky Ultimate Dragon." However, when she emerged from the "Graveyard" area, she didn't feel discouraged. She just suddenly realized that she had become a bit of a fan of Pandora again. But Tiffany is a very loyal person; she can only have one idol.

　She carefully compared Pandora and Dark side by side, her subjective will constantly wavering between the two, and she remained hesitant even as she left the scene.

　"Ugh, so worrying!"

　But some people are even more worried than Tiffany.

　That was the Sky City Lord who suddenly discovered that the statue of the "Sky Guardian" had dimmed again.

　The commotion around the statue was an unexpected delight, but now the surprise remains, while the delight is gone.

　When Tiffany returned to the arena, all the Sky Magic Academy contestants could do was offer words of comfort.

　Seeing that even the "Guardian of the Sky" could be shot down by Pandora, they really had nothing more to say.

　This gap in strength cannot be reversed with just a few words of encouragement. (St. Marian Academy)

　The sixth-grade champion is truly impressive; one has to admire him.

　In this final, he lost convincingly.

　However, it will only be effective for one week!

　They'll be back for next week's points match!

　Pandora walked onto the stage and answered Judy's interview. After the interview, she returned to the players' table, celebrated briefly with her teammates, and then turned her attention to the post-match review.

　This duel was unexpectedly difficult, as Tiffany's strength far exceeded the normal level.

　However, she never loses unless her opponent actually possesses a (God Card).

　Since the "Sky Guardian" could be defeated by the "Ultimate Sky Dragon," she didn't consider it a "god."

　"Stop looking, it's time to celebrate."

　Eluri Clarissa patted her on the shoulder from behind, looking mischievous.

　But don't be fooled by how relaxed she seems now.

　In fact, when Pandora was struck by "Heavenly Punishment", her heart was pounding with anxiety.

　If Pandora loses by accident, then she will have to take the blame for failing to defeat her opponent in the fifth duel.

　Although her teammates wouldn't actually blame her, she would certainly feel guilty.

　Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened, and Pandora secured the final victory.

　It has to be her!

　Post-match analysis time.

　The students of St. Marian College were celebrating wildly.

　Although the final result of the academy championship will not be officially determined until the points competition in the third week.

　However, the first two rounds of the competition were actually separate events and quite competitive. St. Mary's Academy not only won the lower grade group competition, but also just successfully won the upper grade group competition.

　Even disregarding points, these two championships are enough to prove the strength of St. Mary's Academy.

　Even with the many strange and wonderful abilities of the contestants from other academies, nothing could stop St. Marian Academy from winning the championship.

　The true measure of a high level of education lies in winning through direct confrontation, rather than resorting to clever tricks.

　Tonight is another night of celebration!

　Players lounge.

　Dak and the others were also excitedly discussing it.

　However, since they weren't the ones who won the championship, they were excited for a while and then let it go.

　After the post-match analysis concluded, host Judy invited all the senior students from St. Mary's Academy to the stage and loudly announced that the senior students from St. Mary's Academy had won the final round of the competition.

　The contestants all beamed with joy, and the audience applauded enthusiastically, quickly filling the entire dueling arena with applause.

　After the applause subsided, the host, Judy, delivered a long speech of congratulations before raising her hand to project a picture in the air showing the scores earned by the eight colleges in this round of the competition.

　First, St. Mary's Academy scored 36 points, far ahead of the pack. Second, Sky Magic Academy scored 24 points, placing second.

　Then, the Royal Academy of the Kingdom and the Elf Magic Academy each scored 12 points, tying for third place.

　Finally, the Ocean Magic Academy, the Holy Mystic Academy, the War Totem Academy, and the Public Magic Academy all failed to advance with zero points.

　The list is clearly visible in one place.

　Everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for the Ocean Magic Academy and the Holy Mystic Academy's zero scores.

　But the winner takes all and the loser is condemned; that's the rule of the game. I can only blame myself for not being strong enough.

　Judy sighed slightly and said, "Now, let's take a look at the overall scores of each college, taking into account the results of the two rounds."

　After she finished speaking, she moved the projector to the side and then re-projected the combined scores from both rounds.

　First, St. Mary's Academy remains in first place with a total score of 72 points. Next, Ocean Magic Academy and Sky Magic Academy are tied for second place with 24 points each.

　Then, the Holy Mystic Academy, the War Totem Academy, the Royal Academy of the Kingdom, and the Elven Magic Academy each scored 12 points.

　Finally, the public Magic Academy received no points, which is a great pity.

　"It seems that even in terms of overall score, St. Marian Academy has won a great victory."

　"Looking at the projector, Judy said."

　“72 points… If the rules for the third round aren’t adjusted, St. Marian Academy’s advantage will be too great. But 72 points is the champion’s score anyway, so it’s not a big problem.”

　After thinking for a while, she turned to the older students and asked, "What do you think?"

　Pandora shook her head slightly and said, "No matter what, the result is already decided." "That's true." Judy turned around and continued talking to the audience. But what Pandora really meant was that the outcome of this academy championship was already set and couldn't be changed no matter what.

　Yes, St. Mary's College will definitely be number one! She was confident of that.

　Seeing that the interviews on the host's stage had ended, Dark and the others left the players' lounge and slipped out of the open-air duel arena before Pandora and the others came out.

　They had already learned from experience; the entrance to the dueling arena would definitely be completely blocked by enthusiastic students. If they didn't leave then, it would truly be too late.

　After leaving the dueling arena, especially since it was still early, they decided to disband and went their separate ways.

　Without much hesitation, Dark returned to his dormitory to continue his research. He intuitively felt he had grasped the key to creating the "Guardian of the Golden Land," and that it wouldn't take more than a few days.

　That should allow us to create the first "Golden City Guardian".

　Once the craft is perfected, he can share the method of making this golem with Professor Kazel, adding a new patrol golem to the academy.

　Of course, he wouldn't take any responsibility for the golem's repair or recharging.

　Four thirty.

　Diana and Rose knocked on the door and came to ask him how to make the "Destiny Symbol".

　They encountered a bottleneck in the creation of the "destiny charm" and needed Dark's help to solve the problem.

　Dak then temporarily put aside his experiments and instead taught them how to overcome the difficulties.

　The creation of "Destiny Symbols" is inherently difficult, and Dark was able to quickly grasp it mainly due to the dedicated help of several professors.

　Moreover, he also has a ready-made "destiny talisman" for reference.

　Conversely, Diana, Rose, and the others had to figure things out on their own, which slowed their progress considerably.

　Dak took out his "fate talisman" and explained it in detail, which finally helped them understand.

　When it was time for dinner, he casually invited the two to eat in the cafeteria together. During the meal, he received a message from Professor Sylph. "What's up?" Diana asked, puffing out her cheeks. Dark simply replied, "Professor Sylph sent a message: meet at seven tonight."

　Diana's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is it about the trial?"

　Dark nodded. "That's right. Tonight is the most active time for 'Divine Causes,' and the professors have agreed to help Prince Charles trigger the hidden trial again. Also, to check the trial's security."

　“Oh,” Diana responded, then went back to eating. Rose then said, “It seems Diana and I need to quickly master the method of making ‘Fate Symbols’.”

　Dark said, "That's right. If tonight's operation goes smoothly, we should be leading a group to try triggering the hidden trial tomorrow. If you want to participate in the hidden trial but don't want to affect your destiny, learn how to make 'Destiny Talismans' as soon as possible. If you don't understand anything, just ask me; don't worry about anything else."

　Rose nodded, then asked about the things she hadn't yet figured out. Dark answered carefully, explaining in detail.

　Time passed quickly.

　After the meal, the three left the cafeteria and stayed in Dak's dormitory for another half hour.

　After Diana and Rose finally left, Dark went into the bathroom and tidied himself up a bit.

　Immediately afterwards, he took "Little Devilmon" and left the dormitory. It was not yet seven o'clock.

　The group had already gathered in the principal's office.
