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

　"What's wrong with him?" Dark asked curiously. Demi Charlotte shook her head slightly and said, "He's probably under a lot of pressure."

　Dark thought about Witt's situation and agreed wholeheartedly: "Perhaps."

　Sometimes, bearing the expectations of too many people is actually a very tiring thing.

　Fortunately, his pressure came from within.

　No one had high expectations of him.

　Think about it.

　He turned and walked deeper into the passage, but instead of returning to the players' lounge, he turned onto another passage leading to the circular track.

　Road.

　When they were alone, he said to Bastimon, "Thank you for your hard work today."

　But Bastymon did not respond.

　Dark instinctively turned his head to look, and suddenly a faint scent of musk entered his nose. Before his face had even turned halfway, he felt a...

　A slight itch, the sensation of hair brushing against the skin.

　Two slender arms took the opportunity to surround him and encircle his neck.

　Ru Lan's breath blew into his other ear, making him slightly uncomfortable.

　"Stop it."

　"Dak said helplessly."

　Therefore, after he achieved [Fusion], he summoned [Bastimon] only a handful of times.

　Because it's so difficult to deal with!

　"Meow—●"

　Basdie was naturally unaffected by such weak orders.

　Dak reached out and grabbed one of its tails, then grabbed the tip and yanked it hard!

　Basdimon softened instantly, like a cat being choked by the scruff of its neck.

　Dak casually tossed it aside, displaying an air of 'taking it and then refusing to admit it'.

　He straightened his collar and said smugly, "I'm going out now. Remember not to give yourself away."

　"Ok."

　Basdi followed closely behind, like a wronged little wife.

　Once the sunlight shone down, the person and their pet had already walked out of the passage.

　Following his memory, Dark found the corner where Pandora was and naturally sat down next to her, which attracted a lot of attention.

　The film is eye-catching.

　"How's it going, senior?" Dark asked.

　Pandora glanced very subtly at Bastimon beside Dark and said, "This is the result of [fusion]."

　Dark nodded: "Without the [fusion] today, I really don't know what the outcome would have been. Senior Kevin is truly a formidable opponent."

　Pandora laughed;

　"You just haven't accumulated enough experience. By this time next year, he'll be at that level."

　Dark blinked, confirming that he had gleaned something from Pandora's words.

　He then said, "I heard that last year, almost no one was able to join the Duel Club early when they were freshmen."

　Pandora: "I don't pay much attention to this. But among this year's sophomores, there are only a few worth watching. Well, Elsie, Kevin, I guess he's one."

　She spoke very deliberately.

　But Dak suspected that it wasn't that the second-year students were incapable, but rather that her standards were too high.

　"beep"

　The whistle sounded.

　The eleventh duel of the morning has begun!

　Dark whispered something to Pandora, then left from the back.

　Today is a special day.

　He wanted to be closer to his family.

　The elevation difference between the spectator seating area and the circular track in the open-air arena is only - meters. However, there is a buffer zone between the two, which is more than three meters apart.

　Because the audience cannot actually come from the stands to the circular area, there are no safety barriers or other barriers in between.

　However, the students were also unable to go to the "audience seats," so they could not communicate effectively.

　However, if you are in the circular area, you can see the "spectator seats".

　However, the "circular strip" cannot be seen from the "audience seats".

　This is a measure to protect student privacy.

　Dark walked to the circular area closest to Arvit, found a spot to sit down, and sat down next to the Basti Beast.

　While accompanying them, he silently replenished the magic of the magical spirits.

　One must be able to withstand both adulation and indifference.

　He certainly wouldn't act like a child and go to his mother for comfort; simply being close to her was enough to gradually soothe his mind.

　He really didn't have any external pressure.

　But the internal pressure is something that ordinary people cannot compare to.

　If you calm your mind and take a moment to feel it, even the winter temperature seems to have warmed up.

　Three meters behind him.

　Arvit was unaware that her precious child was sitting right in front of her.

　She simply approached the situation with the mindset of a parent watching their child perform. After the performance, since she couldn't connect with her child...

　If we haven't made contact, then let's go back.

　But the eldest princess grabbed her with a helpless expression: "Let's wait until we finish watching Witt Gold's match before we leave."

　"Gaode?" Arvit couldn't help but think of that mischievous "Gaode".

　Because of the different battlefronts, her memories of Brett Goddard are limited to her student days and the final battle against the Demon King.

　The war of conquest.

　As for the others, I don't know much about them.

　In reality, her relationship with Bright and God wasn't particularly good; at most, they were just members of the same club.

　Arvit thought for a moment and said, "The God family does indeed produce heroes, but what evidence is there to prove that Wit God is the future hero, based solely on that Holy Sword Spell which is actually quite useless?"

　Princess Elizabeth said, "It's a prophecy. The deputy city lord of Sky City, Granny Maggie of Norwegian Forest, have both spoken about it."

　The prophecy has been fulfilled. Witt Gold will be a hero, stepping forward when the world is once again plunged into crisis, just like his father.

　Alvit shook her head and said, "Of course I know that. But if the prophecy were really that accurate, we wouldn't have sacrificed ourselves so much in the battle against the demons."

　Eliza: "Although I think so too, it's better to be safe than sorry. We all know that this world is not actually safe."

　Arvit sighed: "That's why I don't want to continue this internal strife."

　the other side.

　Prince Charles and the Archbishop finally found the "hero" they had been waiting for.

　The "hero" has always been favored by the "light" and has a good compatibility with the Holy Church, so the relationship between the two is generally not bad.

　The previous year's heroes also received support from the Holy Church at the beginning of their graduation, but they later fell out due to a certain incident.

　It hasn't reached an insurmountable level.

　At least that's what the Holy Church thinks.

　They came here partly to see the "hero's" talent and potential, and partly to observe the "hero's" character and qualities.

　Only by understanding a person as well as possible can you develop targeted strategies.

　Whether for the sake of "righteousness" or "political factors," they all need to be prepared for this.

　At this point.

　Their thoughts were actually aligned with those of the eldest princess.

　"They've finally arrived. Is this the future hero?" As Vittor Gold stepped onto the contestant's platform, the eldest prince couldn't help but become serious.

　Judging from his appearance alone, Witt does fit the traditional image of a "hero".

　That almost innate affability makes it easier for people to trust him.

　and.

　"He really does look a lot like the former hero!"

　After observing him carefully, the eldest prince couldn't help but wonder, "I wonder how he compares to the Valkyrie's son?"

　Witt Gold stood on the red corner's platform looking down.

　He found Robert and some of his classmates from the Knights House.

　Since that astronomy class, his classmates have treated him much better.

　Many people cheered him on.

　But he really didn't have much confidence!

　Especially after witnessing the entire duel between Dark and Kevin, he once again deeply realized the difference between them.

　gap.

　If his opponent were like Elsie Kevin, he felt he should just concede defeat!

　Fortunately not.

　Wilson, sitting on the commentary platform, took a sip of tea and immediately began this round of commentary.

　Without the constraints of the club, his explanations became more relaxed.

　"Virt Gold! One of the seven who joined the Duel Club early this year, known as Lucky Gold, is the son of a true hero!"

　Wilson practically roared as he said those words.

　But the audience didn't seem to have recovered from the previous duel, so he had to repeat himself.

　"Both are first-year students! Following the Valkyrie's son, the Hero's son is coming in quick succession! Both are descendants of the Kingdom's Twin Swordsmen, and both are promising newcomers!"

　"I'm sure Witt Gold is no less skilled than Darko Dimon, and he'll deliver just as spectacular a duel!"

　"What I'm worried about now is his opponent—whether he can unleash his true potential."

　"Now, please welcome the blue team's contestant, David Leonard! Leonard is a top student in his second year, and he successfully joined the Duel Club last semester. By the way, he is also a member of the Knights Academy!"

　"First year vs. second year, an internal war within the Knight Academy, a contest of bravery against bravery!"

　Thanks to Wilson's efforts, the audience's attention was finally drawn back.

　People suddenly realized that the black-haired boy on the stage was actually the legendary son of the hero!

　And so, the atmosphere finally got lively.

　And that's when the competition began!

　David Leonard is a sophomore at Knights College.

　Like most of the students at the Knights Academy, he was overjoyed at the beginning of the semester when the son of a hero entered the academy.

　But after the start of the semester, like most of his fellow students at the Knights Academy, they gradually stopped paying attention to him.

　After all, St. Marian's studies were not easy, and they didn't have much energy to pay attention to the affairs of a first-year student for a long time.

　As for what happened to the son of the hero later on...

　Of course, I've heard of them all.
