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

　Not long after that.

　The duel between Emma's trio and the Elf Magic Academy has also come to a conclusion.

　Winnies Cardi won by a landslide.

　Marscare nearly suffered a comeback defeat, but ultimately prevailed. Emma Metis suffered a heartbreaking loss.

　Furthermore, with the end of the duel, Emma's score immediately dropped to zero, making her the first and only contestant eliminated from St. Marian Academy. Although many contestants had already been eliminated with zero points throughout the competition, Emma wasn't particularly outstanding among them, but given her...

　From the perspective of self-esteem, it is indeed extremely difficult to accept.

　However, it all started with a lack of strength.

　She was fully aware of her own abilities and had actually anticipated this outcome. Therefore, she had tried her best to avoid it in previous matches.

　However, simply "avoiding" will not make you stronger.

　She finally couldn't resist and challenged the "Rain Sprite" Julia Amelia to a duel, and ultimately... lost the duel.

　Although both were third-year students, Julia was indeed stronger than her at this point. After acknowledging this, she waved at the window of the red restaurant and calmly (gritting her teeth) left.

　“Emma lost.” Saraswati squeezed to the windowsill and watched Emma’s departing figure.

　Dark turned to look at her and teased, "It's your turn." Sarah rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm not going." Then she immediately switched to another window and continued looking out.

　Dark shook his head and continued watching the duel between Chloe and Quintina. Shortly afterward...

　Wittgold, Diana Gretbay, and Aurora Montilfari all returned victorious.

　Their opponents were all lower-year students from the Ocean Magic Academy. Although they were also very strong, they were ultimately the better ones.

　Among the three lower-year students from the Ocean Magic Academy, one of them also had his points reduced to zero and was forced to leave the competition.

　After returning, Witt looked around and asked in confusion, "Where's Emma? He was so focused on the duel that he didn't notice the notification that Emma was eliminated."

　Sarah pointed to the badge on her chest, made an "O" gesture, and then poked the outside.

　After realizing what had happened, Witt was immediately startled. "Who sent her out of the game?"

　Julia.

　Sarah then spoke.

　"That rain sprite?"

　Witt took a breath, looked out the window, still shaken. He had almost lost himself.

　Fortunately, they managed to hold on in the end.

　He did not become the first player to be eliminated from the academy.

　Otherwise, he was absolutely certain that once the match was over, Robert would definitely laugh at him mercilessly.

　"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

　Witt patted his chest and turned his attention back to the ongoing duel.

　By this time, most of the duels had already ended.

　On the other side, however, a student from the Sky Magic Academy, after winning a battle, challenged a student from the Ocean Magic Academy to a duel.

　Even though winning the duel now would only earn them one point, they were determined to retaliate. The Sky Magic Academy had been ambushed and would certainly seek revenge.

　Moreover, among the contestants from the Ocean Magic Academy, there was indeed one who had only one point left after losing a duel. That contestant was immediately targeted and dragged into a duel.

　The duel then continued.

　Then the duel between the Holy Mystic Academy and the War Totem Academy came to an end.

　Saint Zaga Lilanslot, the "Judgment Knight," won the duel without the slightest mistake, sending the "Orc Prince" Grace Leon out of the "Duel City"!

　"Eternal Knight" Matthew Hygard... failed to turn the tide and was caught off guard by the "Behemoth Royal Family," who took him down in one fell swoop!

　Although the "Holy Knight" Percivalis appeared to be in a close call, she remained calm throughout and ultimately defeated the "Elephant Kings" without any surprise. The "Elephant Kings," who had exactly eight points, were sent out of the "Duel City" by her.

　Thus, Matthew Heigard became the only Knight of the Round Table to be defeated in these three duels. However, since he had taken a bite out of the lower-year students of St. Marian Academy in the previous duels, he was not yet worried about being kicked out.

　Thus, with the conclusion of these three duels, the War Totem Academy was left with only one survivor.

　"Prince Lion" Grace Leon remained expressionless throughout his defeat. He did not leave immediately but waited until the three duels were over.

　Fortunately, the "Behemoth Royal Family" ultimately prevailed, leaving a final spark for the War Totem Academy.

　But he wasn't sure how long this spark could burn. The Holy Mystic Academy had clearly set its sights on them.

　After this duel, the contestants from the Holy Mystic Academy would not let go of the "Behemoth Royal Family" contestant.

　The "Behemoth royal" was not good at hiding and escaping, and could only become prey for other academies.

　Faced with this situation, Grace Leon couldn't bring himself to utter any harsh words, as he could almost imagine the punishment he would face upon returning to the kingdom.

　The only good news is that after winning this duel, the "Behemoth Royal Family" still has more than sixteen points in his personal score, enough to withstand a high-multiplier duel defeat.

　His score is slightly higher than Quintina's! "Please!"

　Grace Leon stared into the eyes of the "Behemoth Royal Family" and could only leave behind this one piece of advice.

　If the Behemoth Royal Family can outlast Quintina, then War Totem Academy still has a chance to achieve sixth place.

　Finally, he and the dejected "Elephant Kings" left the stage in a dejected manner. But as he left, he suddenly turned around and saw that on the leaderboard of the red and blue building, the total score of the Royal Academy of the Kingdom had suddenly dropped from twelve points to four points!

　Quintinanos, defeated!

　A glimmer of excitement flashed in Grace's eyes. But it vanished in an instant.

　Even if we manage to get sixth place this way, so what?

　“Finally won!”

　Chloe Artemis felt the pain all over her body suddenly disappear and finally let out a long breath.

　Winning this duel was not just about the points he gained, but more importantly, about the clarity of his mind.

　If he can't even win this duel, his future path will likely be very difficult.

　"Thankfully, we still won in the end!" He clenched his fist and looked at Quintina.

　But after being defeated and reborn, Quintina walked away silently into the distance and soon disappeared.

Chapter 1339 Darkdemon's Guerrilla Warfare (5k)

　"Quintina, only four points left."

　"Hmm, War Totem Academy only has seventeen points left." "The Elf Magic Academy's debt points have increased quite a bit."

　"Ocean Magic Academy has more points, but there is still a gap between it and St. Marian Academy."

　"Sky Magic Academy has actually dropped to fourth place! Holy Church Mystic Academy has overtaken us and is now in third!"

　"Do you think the Holy Church Mystic Ritual Academy has a chance to go even higher?" "I don't know, but if the Holy Church Mystic Ritual Academy can reach second place, then the top two spots in this year's Academy Championship will both belong to our human academy!"

　"Mmm, let's go!"

　"It's just that the Royal Academy is disappointing, otherwise..."

　……

　As the duel ended, such topics quickly spread among the audience.

　Supporters of the Holy Mystic Academy were particularly excited.

　The Holy Church Mystic Ritual Academy's performance in the previous competition could only be described as slightly above average. Unexpectedly, after this series of operations, it has risen to second place.

　This was something no one expected before the start of today's match.

　But the competition is still long, so there's no need to jump to conclusions at this point.

　Given the intensity of this competition, anything can happen afterward.

　The Holy Church's Mystic Ritual Academy climbed to second place with just two waves of manipulation, and it's only a matter of one or two waves for it to fall from that position.

　In short, the audience can be excited, thrilled, and champagne-splashing. But as contestants, you absolutely cannot let your guard down at this time.

　Therefore, the contestants from the Holy Mystic Academy quickly disappeared after their duel ended. Even the "Behemoth Royal Family" could no longer detect their presence.

　But the contestants from the Holy Mystic Academy were not about to let him go. They used various spells and magical spirits to track the "Behemoth Royal Family" and patiently waited for the next "duel time" to begin.

　The Behemoth royal family possessed a full seventeen points, and they were determined to win.

　Meanwhile, Quintina North, the only remaining player in this match, quickly disappeared after her defeat.

　As her mindset gradually shifted, Quintina also calmed down and began to prioritize the "college rankings".

　It's clearly too late to start thinking about the team now.

　However, after observing the changes in the scores of each academy, she immediately determined that the War Totem Academy was also in a bad situation.

　"If it's seventeen points, there should only be one or two runners left..." Based on her own analysis, she quickly came to a conclusion. In her current condition, there was no longer any possibility of competing with the front row, but there was still a possibility of competing with the back row to see who could run faster.

　In other words, what she needs to do is outlast the War Totem Academy!

　If the Royal Academy of the Kingdom can outlast the War Totem Academy, it can move up one place, from second to last to third to last.

　Although this slight improvement in terminology may not be useful, it still gives people a different impression.

　After careful consideration, Quintina decided to continue working towards this goal.

　But she didn't just hide; after resting, she quickly took action.

　The result of constantly hiding is that, just like in the last duel, the Elf Magic Academy will discover you and end the match.

　Of course, she immediately realized the secret behind how the Elven Magic Academy was able to find her after she fled far away—an elf had sprinkled some pollen on her, and the pollen left a fragrance, making her whereabouts impossible to hide from the elves.

　Therefore, she immediately used magic to completely erase the scent from her body before resuming her actions.

　This time, she will make good use of her "weather master" ability to completely hide herself and then find the contestants from the War Totem Academy!

　at the same time.

　The remaining contestants from St. Marian Academy all returned to the Blue Restaurant. They had originally gathered at the Red Restaurant.

　The Sky Magic Academy, which used the Red Restaurant as its base, finally gave up occupying such a prominent location after suffering a major setback.

　The Ocean Magic Academy showed no intention of vying for it. Thus, both the red and blue restaurants remained unclaimed. After some thought, Dark and the others returned to the more familiar blue restaurant to rest and wait.

　The pace of today's competition was relatively comfortable for them. The tacit understanding between the various academies allowed the players to have ample rest time, enabling them to give their best in every duel and leave no regrets.

　However, once the Sky Magic Academy's contestants also went into hiding, their "charge tactics" lost their target.

　"Fine, it's a little embarrassing to always be guessing at the same thing."

　"Since we no longer have a fixed target, let's become guerrillas and go wherever the action is."

　Dark and the others quickly devised their next tactic, exchanging ideas. Currently, St. Mary's Academy still held a commanding lead in points. In reality, the fiercer the competition among the academies ranked below them, the more secure their position became, and they didn't need to worry about being overtaken. As for tactics, as long as they avoided traps and exercised caution, they could essentially act according to their own will.

　The colleges ranked below St. Marian's College don't have it so easy.

　Sky Magic Academy suffered a major loss and is determined to make up for it. They now only have one remaining member...

　The Royal Academy of the Kingdom and the War Totem Academy certainly wouldn't satisfy their appetites.

　However, the Ocean Magic Academy's points are very difficult to accumulate. Even if they wanted revenge, they couldn't take too many risks.

　Therefore, the final choice is to go to the Holy Mystic Academy and the Elven Spell Academy.

　The Holy Church Mystic Academy has seven members remaining. Although these seven are disciplined and difficult to deal with, they hold more points.

　If they can manage to take a bite out of them in a high-multiplier environment, Sky Magic Academy could not only regain the lost points, but might even jump to second place. But as mentioned before, they are not easy to deal with.

　In contrast, among the last four remaining members of the Elf Magic Academy, only Chloe Artemis is truly strong. If they act flawlessly, they can reliably defeat them.

　Even the Elf Magic Academy doesn't have many points; only Chloe and Julia are relatively well-off.

　If the Ocean Magic Academy takes advantage of their dealings with the Elf Magic Academy to devour the Holy Mystic Academy, the gap between them and the Ocean Magic Academy will widen further.

　Therefore, the choice of target this time is very important.

　Furthermore, while selecting targets, they must also consider the possibility of a third party interfering.

　And similarly.

　The Ocean Magic Academy is also considering the same thing.

　Now that the opportunity to use St. Marian Academy to encircle Sky Magic Academy has been lost, Ocean Magic Academy has wisely removed Sky Magic Academy's name from its list of next targets for the time being.

　The Holy Mystic Academy and the Elven Spell Academy, which they considered relatively weaker, became the best alternatives.
