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

　Gasps of surprise came from some of the audience members.

　The Orc race players still give a very powerful impression in terms of appearance.

　But viewers who watched the entire match weren't particularly surprised.

　However, within the orc kingdom, the "Lionheart King" was clearly furious upon seeing this outcome.

　At the beginning of the Academy Championship, he had high hopes for the contestants from the War Totem Academy.

　High expectations were placed on them, with some even hoping they could win the championship and thus help him advance to the first tier of the "Magic League".

　However, in the subsequent competitions, the strength displayed by each academy grew stronger and stronger, and his expectations for the War Totem Academy plummeted. Now he only hoped they could achieve a "good result." Unexpectedly, after a day's competition, they ended up with third from last—a "good result." [Lionheart King's] rage was still terrifying, and everyone around him fell silent, not daring to utter a word.

　Even Grace Leon, far away on the field, seemed to feel it and couldn't help but shiver.

　The War Totem Academy currently has 32 points.

　Judging from the final result, the score was even lower than the initial score at the start of the competition by a full sixteen points.

　In reality, War Totem Academy had already done everything in its power to hold onto those thirty-two points.

　If they hadn't somehow managed to glean some points from the public magic academy and the royal academy, they would probably only have around twenty points right now. Moreover, their current points are mostly concentrated on a few orc royal families.

　Several lower-grade contestants have already been eliminated due to their scores reaching zero. In truth, they were only able to retain their thirty-two points thanks to the Public Magic Academy and the Royal Academy of the Kingdom holding out long enough.

　Otherwise, once they become the "weakest," they will become targets of encirclement and suppression, just like the other two academies.

　Even so, their situation is still very bad.

　The reason things have turned out this way is not only because they colluded with the public magic academy, which prevented them from participating in the hunt immediately, but there is another reason: they have gotten into a fight with the Holy Church's Secret Ritual Academy!

　Judging from the current results, they have clearly fallen behind in their confrontation with the Holy Church Mystic Academy.

　After the rankings and points of the War Totem Academy were displayed, the name of the academy temporarily ranked fifth quickly appeared on the settlement panel.

　Unsurprisingly, the fifth place goes to the Elf Magic Academy!

　Like the War Totem Academy, the Elf Magic Academy, due to its alliance with the Public Magic Academy, failed to participate in the hunt for the Public Magic Academy in time and ultimately fell behind.

　However, they are different from the War Totem Academy, which gained nothing from the alliance.

　They gained something from their initial alliance, though they later suffered some losses due to Quintina North's targeting. However, they somewhat made up for it by winning duels with others.

　This resulted in the Elf Magic Academy ultimately earning a total of thirty-eight points.

　Thirty-eight points is actually a very low total score.

　But comparisons are always a problem; they are at least six points higher than the War Totem Academy.

　This made the elves feel relatively relaxed.

　If they can maintain this advantage until the end of tomorrow's match, they can at least return home and report back.

　In short, we can lose anything, but we cannot lose to War Totem Academy!

　After the Elf Magic Academy, the fourth-ranked academy finally became the Holy Mystic Academy.

　Relying on the slight advantage gained in the confrontation with the War Totem Academy, and a higher level of discipline compared to other academies, the Holy Mystic Ritual Academy scored forty-two points.

　Although these 42 points are still lower than the initial score, they are already higher than the scores of War Totem Academy and Elf Magic Academy.

　This places the Holy Church Mystic Academy in fourth place for the time being.

　The Pope himself was actually quite satisfied with the result.

　Of course, those believers watching the competition only wanted to see the Holy Mystic Academy win first place.

　How could anyone possibly accept the fourth one!

　Then, finally, it was time to reveal the third place winner.

　After a brief exchange, Dark and the others focused their attention on the projection. This time, the result was as expected.

　As expected, the third-ranked school is the Sky Magic Academy.

　The total score for Sky Magic Academy is seventy-four points.

　Seventy-four and forty-two.

　Suddenly, a huge gap appeared between third and fourth place. The audience, who were already dissatisfied with the ranking of the Holy Church Mystic Academy, became even more tense.

　From their perspective, the Holy Mystic Academy is no weaker than the Sky Magic Academy and the Ocean Magic Academy.

　Furthermore, the overall strength of the Holy Church Mystic Academy is even greater, with virtually no weaknesses.

　This outcome is completely unacceptable. Therefore, the commotion in the audience grew even louder.

　However, the entire competition took place in front of the public, making any behind-the-scenes manipulation impossible.

　They can't accept it, and it won't do. But upon closer examination...

　The fundamental reason why Sky Magic Academy scored so many more points than Holy Mystic Academy is that Sky Magic Academy had a 12-point lead over Holy Mystic Academy at the start of the competition.

　After that, it all came down to one word: "fast"!

　All the contestants of Sky Magic Academy possess the "Aging Curse," which allows them to summon a nine-star magical spirit at the start of a battle.

　This tactic emphasizes "ruthless crushing of weaker opponents".

　Therefore, their speed in accumulating points is significantly higher than that of the Holy Church Mystic Academy.

　In addition to other factors encountered during the competition, this has led to the current result.

　After that, the organizers announced the name of the second-place academy – naturally, it was the Ocean Magic Academy.

　However, the Ocean Magic Academy's total score was only seventy-eight, just four points more than the Sky Magic Academy.

　They started the game with 60 points, but surprisingly only gained 18 points throughout the day.

　This result was clearly far from what the Ocean Magic Academy had expected.

　However, this is the actual result.

　The Ocean Magic Academy's current achievement is the best it has ever achieved, second only to St. Mary's Academy.

　Their points

　The reason for the small increase is simply because there were wins and losses throughout the competition.

　In the entire food chain, they are not the strongest, so it is naturally difficult for them to obtain high scores.

　And the one who extracts points from them is St. Marian Academy!

　...

　When the name of the last college was revealed, the audience finally gasped in surprise.

　St. Maryann's College is currently ranked first in total points, which is entirely expected.

　But viewers still found it hard to believe that St. Marian Academy would score a whopping 179 points after the first day!

　Keep in mind that the total points from all the colleges combined amount to only 456.

　These 179 points are exactly the score after all the points lost by the Royal Academy and the Public Magic Academy have been absorbed.

　It gave the impression that all the other colleges were working for St. Marian College all day long.

　The points from the Royal Academy and the Public Magic Academy are being transferred to St. Marian Academy.

　This score of 179 is even more than the second-ranked Ocean Magic Academy by a full 101 points!

　But from Darkdemon's perspective, it was actually just average. He had originally thought that St. Mary's Academy's total points would be even higher.

　After all, they won the championship in both the high and low grade groups, with an initial score of 108 points.

　He alone has already accumulated 23 points in today's game.

　This means that the rest of the group only gained a total of forty-eight points. "Senior Pandora is far too lax!" After a brief analysis, Dark couldn't help but sigh.

　If Pandora had put in a little more effort, the remaining people wouldn't have only gained a total of forty-eight points.

　It's worth noting that both Winnie the Pooh and Gina Grant had a winning record compared to their losing record.

　They are all key scorers.

　The lower grades did not disappoint in this competition either, with all members maintaining a score above nine, a result that exceeded expectations.

　He just never imagined that he would ultimately be the one to shoulder the burden of this family! There were clearly people taller than him.

　With all college rankings and scores now published.

　Today's matches have finally come to a complete end.

　Giant orbs of light rose into the sky above "Duel City," instantly turning the entire dueling arena into daylight.

　The commentator's voice drifted in, guiding the contestants to leave the arena one by one. Although the interior of "Duel City" was intricate and complex, flying directly into the sky allowed for a quick exit.

　Darke finally sat on the "magical flying tablecloth" summoned by Aurora and flew out of the venue with many other contestants.

　Passing through the outer barrier of the "Duel City" creates a feeling of spatial distortion.

　Looking back, you'll find that "Duel City" is smaller than you remember.

　This is certainly not just a visual change.

　In fact, the space where "Duel City" is located has indeed been expanded. "Tomorrow is the last day, let's do our best!"

　As he turned around, the thought flashed through Dark's mind. He then smiled and searched his surroundings for any trace of the St. Mary's Academy contestants.

　Although it's already 9 p.m., it's not time to disband and rest yet.

　Apart from the Public Magic Academy, which has already eliminated all its members, even the Royal Academy of the Kingdom, which only has one member left, will hold a meeting after the competition.

　"It seems that the Royal Academy has seen some hope of achieving a higher ranking by taking advantage of the low scores of the War Totem Academy and the Elf Card Sorcerer Academy."

　"Thirteen points and thirty-something points, there's not much difference."

　"If you encounter a 'Duel Time' with a multiplier of 10, you can turn the tide in just one or two duels."

　"Their Quintinanos might actually be able to do it." "Wait, in that case, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?" "Heh, if all your points are taken away, we might actually lose."

　When Dark and the Shrek trio reunited, they overheard them talking about this.

　Of course, the last sentence was said in a teasing tone.

　Shrek Holmes beckoned to them and came over. A little while later, the other two groups also gathered.

　All twelve students from St. Marian Academy had finally gathered. "Let's go to the office," Dark said. The group then flew together towards the castle.

　Soon after, they arrived at the mathematics professor's office.

　The purpose of the post-match meeting is to summarize today's game and plan for tomorrow's game.

　But after a brief chat, they realized there wasn't much to summarize.

　As for tomorrow's plans...

　The "spreading out the money" strategy used in today's game is clearly no longer applicable.

　Once you have accumulated enough points, if your primary goal is to "secure those points," it's best for everyone to work together.

　Furthermore, the rules for tomorrow's competition will undergo significant changes.

　In addition to the addition of "Duel Time", various rules for today's restrictions will also be changed.

　Dak was brewing, pouring, and serving tea, while Emma was explaining the rules of the game again.

　Although the contestants already knew, they were all listening attentively. The exhibition match segment has now completely concluded.

　The match tomorrow will start promptly at 8:00 AM and continue until 8:00 PM.

　In this whole

　During the competition, the organizers will start a "duel time" every once in a while.

　Each "duel time" lasts ten minutes, during which...

　The duelists who initiate a duel place bets on badges (points) in team i. That is to say, the minimum number of badges (points) bet is N.

　When N is greater than the number of badges held by the duelist, the maximum limit is the number of badges (points) held by the duelist.

　However, the second day of the competition differs from the first day; players can freely choose the number of badges they bet on. But both sides must agree; otherwise, the default value will be one.
