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

　As both players drew their cards, the two magical spirits on the field began their battle!

　Before the newly summoned Sylveon could even show off its adorable ribbons, it was instantly pounced on by Leeroy!

　"mum!"

　Sylveon was immediately enraged. Its two ribbon tentacles instantly shot out and wrapped around Leona's forelimbs like snakes, pulling it backward and freeing itself.

　Sylveon shook its head, about to use "Moon Power" to severely punish the lion, when it suddenly noticed symbols appearing in its eyes.

　"mum?"

　The intimate contact between the two triggered the "Alluring Body" effect.

　This shadow lion has clearly been captivated by the incredibly cute Sylveon.

　Sylveon's lips curled into a smile, and she suddenly took a small sidestep, leaping away a short distance. Then, she looked with interest at the lone Magic Orb floating in the red team's summoning area!

　It was just a duel.

　There's no need to be so violent, is there?

　If you charm your opponent's magical spirit and then break the life barrier of the magic ball, you can get a hug, a kiss, and a cuddle. Oh, and a little red flower too!

　……

　Angelia, the player on the red side, was still examining the two cards she had just drawn when she suddenly noticed something amiss in the game.

　She turned her head sharply and saw the Lion of Disguise hanging motionless. The pink magical sprite, meanwhile, had its mouth open, staring at the magical orb.

　Suddenly, moonlight began to fall from the sky.

　The pure, bright moonlight converged into its mouth at an extremely fast speed, and had already condensed into a ball!

　……

　In that instant, Angelia suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. Her cerebral cortex went numb, and she almost instinctively pointed a finger.

　All the magic power in his body flowed into his fingertips and shot out towards the magic ball below!

　Almost at the same time.

　The beam of "Moon Power" burst forth!

　Angelia suddenly reached out and hooked her hand in a moment of panic!

　The red team's magic ball instantly flew upwards.

　But during the time it took for its speed to increase from zero, clear beams of moonlight had already shot out!

　The life barrier of the magic sphere began to crack at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　My magic power is dropping rapidly.

　But at the last moment, it finally escaped the attack range of "Moon Power"!

　"call out!"

　The magic sphere, which had flown high into the sky, dimmed, as if it might shatter at any moment.

　Angelia was covered in sweat!

　Lacking dueling experience, she was too slow to react to such a sudden move.

　But he did not die suddenly as a result.

　……

　The audience outside the stadium cheered and shouted in response to the sudden excitement.

　Sylveon, however, puffed out its cheeks, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

　Unlike Sylveon, which evolves from Eevee, which has two powerful offensive moves, only "Moon Power" among its three moves has relatively high power.

　After this move, only the weaker "Enchanting Voice" remains.

　If the fight is to continue, then we'll have to resort to using our henchmen.

　How could such a cute and elegant magical spirit use its claws and teeth to fight?

　Sylveon shook its head violently, then used the ribbon to tighten the Leo's grip even more, before turning it upside down and slamming its head against the ground!

　……

　"The Lion with the Changing Face, Red Face!"

　The bewitching lion instantly changed its expression.

　The original yellow face mask has turned red.

　A red face indicates loyalty and integrity, and enhances defense.

　[Defense: 1500 → 1800]

　As its skull hardened, the sound of it hitting the ground became even crisper!

　"BOOM!"

　Dark, the blue team's player on the platform, looked surprised: "Can it still change its face while under the charm effect? ​​Is that mask some kind of stress-reactive item? And can it even change according to the mage's voice?"

　Before he could think it through, Angela on the other side had already issued the next order.

　"Lion with a Face-Changing Demon, Black Face!"

　Dark-faced and fierce, enhancing magic power.

　The mask, which had just turned red, was immediately stained black.

　Under various stimuli, the Lion of Change finally broke free from its seductive state.

　But the Lion with its attack, defense, and speed all restored to normal is like a big cat with its fangs completely gone, nothing more than a tangled mess.

　It struggled desperately but could not break free from the ribbon's restraints, and was repeatedly used as a hammer to beat the mole.

　……

　However, Angelia has already achieved her goal of stalling for time.

　She reached out and drew a new magic card from her hand.

　"Normal Summon: 'Exquisite Sphere'!"

　As a burst of white light appeared, a metal sphere with exquisite openwork carvings emerged in the air.

　Then it opened its mouth and swallowed the dim red magic ball into its body!

　……

　Card Name: Exquisite Ball

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Machine]

　[Attribute: Steel]

　【Magic Power: 700】

　[Attack: 0]

　[Defense: 2000]

　[Special Skill: None]

　……

　Samsung mechanical model, steel series, silver, exquisite ball!

　A 2000 defense gained at the cost of 0 attack power, surpassing the capabilities of a regular white card!

　However, mages who are familiar with the magical spirit "Linglong Ball" will discover that Angelia's Linglong Ball is also a special individual!

　Under normal circumstances, the exquisite ball is only the size of a bowl, and it is impossible to contain a magic ball.

　Angelia's exquisite sphere, however, has a diameter of two meters!

　With this size, it could easily fit not only a magic ball, but also two people.

　Its flaw probably lies in the openwork on its surface.

　Its not-completely-sealed surface makes it somewhat lacking in protective capabilities.

　However, in duels, the ability of the Sphere to move through the air with the Magic Sphere is a significant advantage.

　In short, once Angelia summons the Sphere, she can distract herself and focus more on attacking!

　……

　She glanced at the three magic cards she had left in her hand and sighed slightly.

　The duel took longer than she had anticipated.

　……

　On the other side, Dark also added two new cards to his hand.

　Cursed Cage: Impmon

　Greed II

　The moment Dark saw his hand, his heart sank slightly.

　These two magic cards cannot bring about any substantial change.

　Now, his only remaining fighting force is Sylveon in the arena. If Angelia pulls another surprise move, he'll have a hard time dealing with it.

　"Let's summon Devimon first!"

　One more magical spirit means one more possibility.

　Dark summoned Impmon directly from above the summoning area.

　The second time Impmon appeared in the dueling arena, it turned back and glanced at Dark, indicating that it didn't want to slack off.

　Dark grinned and asked, "Can your needle be small enough to pass through the gaps in the exquisite ball?"

　……

　[Two words combined, 4000 words]

Chapter 242 The Seven Equalizer Fairy (4k)

　Devimon's needles can certainly pass through the gaps in the Sphere, but its needle tubes can't!

　So it glanced at the intricate carvings on the exquisite ball, then slunk away and flew down, landing on the blue team's magic ball in no time.

　Then it simply sat down on the magic ball and began to contemplate life.

　"Sigh, life as a runner-up is so boring."

　……

　As Shadow Lion was repeatedly defeated by Sylveon, the second round became a stalemate.

　After summoning the Orb, Angelia didn't do anything, clearly waiting to draw cards in the third round.

　Sylveon has the ranged move "Charm," but it's completely ineffective against non-living things that can't hear, so it can't be used to attack Magic Balls.

　The little devil's needle was too thick to pass through the gap in the sphere, so it could only sit... oh, it lay down.

　Meanwhile, Sylveon, who had defeated Shadow Leviathan, hummed a song softly, looking relaxed and carefree, showing no sign of panic.

　But the expressions of these two magical elves are just too vivid!

　Most first-year students were used to the high intelligence of these magical spirits, but the older students who came to see them by chance all had their eyes twitching.

　Professor Fox on the judging panel twitched at the corner of his mouth, finally understanding why Professor Jones valued this Valkyrie's son so highly.

　……

　As the second round was about to end.

　Dark stared at the two "Great Sin II" cards carefully, but ultimately decided not to activate them.

　Using any "Great Sin II" card can upgrade the Little Devil from one star to two stars. However, most of his remaining magical spirits are actually three-star and four-star.
