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

　Dark quickly grasped the point: "Unrestrained, free to improvise—isn't this the original way of dueling?"

　Owen said sadly, "Yes, the original, the old way of dueling. Just like my romance, it's all in the past."

　Dark comforted him, "Senior Ou Wen, please accept my condolences. I've heard it said that a breakup is just the beginning, and the next breakup will be better and faster."

　Irving: "Thanks. Yeah."

　Darke had already stood up and said, "Then, senior, please allow me to prepare."

　Then he collected the excited magical spirits into his magic cards, and then casually cleaned up the snacks and trash on the table.

　It's almost time.

　After helping the senior student overcome his grief, it was almost time to go eat.

　After all, there are classes in the evening.

　[Two-part series - 4100 words]

　There are less than three hours left until the end of 2020. There should be one more chapter after the New Year.

　[Thanks to all the brothers who have already voted for me with their monthly tickets.]

　[Thanks to all the brothers who have been following along.]

　Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

　See you at New Year's Eve!

Chapter 310 The Clown Was Myself (8.6k) [77]

　"Have you heard? Third-year student Owen is going to duel with first-year student Dimon!"

　"Of course, otherwise why would I be standing here?"

　Bu Cai En? Xian Zhi looked at his classmate with disdain, feeling that this classmate had been talking nonsense ever since they met.

　Mike Irving and Dak Dimon's conversation was not kept secret. People passing by noticed the unusual atmosphere and, like Witt and Robert, instinctively stopped to watch.

　Of course, I heard the whole thing.

　This news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching the ears of the students still outside the castle.

　Those who weren't interested continued to do as they pleased.

　Those who were interested gradually gathered around.

　A duel between third-year students and first-year students is extremely rare; it might only happen a few times a year.

　Moreover, both Michael Irving and Darko Dimon are prominent figures in the House of Lords.

　Kyrie Irving is actually among the top three juniors.

　It also shone brightly in the dueling arena.

　But this guy is going to duel a first-year student—if the other person isn't Dark Dimon, then some righteous people will probably interfere!

　Since defeating second-year player Elsie Kevin in the rookie competition, Darko Dimon's reputation has risen to another level.

　The students had long considered his abilities to be on par with those of third-year students.

　Therefore, in the eyes of some people, this duel was a fair contest between third-year students.

　Besides, Professor Lily, who had just created a giant snowman, was there to oversee things. The students had no reason to worry.

　At this point, just treat this unruly street fight as a Valentine's Day salute!

　"Come on, come on, the more people the better!"

　Angus Jeffrey stood with the other members of the group, his eyes gleaming.

　It doesn't matter who wins or loses in this duel.

　In short, we need to establish this opposing viewpoint.

　Ideally, the fight should be fierce and evenly matched, making a big splash!

　And ahead, where their gazes met.

　Dak had just finished cleaning up the trash.

　He regretted capturing the magical spirits too quickly; he had originally intended to teach them to pick up trash themselves.

　In short, after handing the trash bag to Rose, he clapped his hands and looked at Owen, who had been waiting for quite some time.

　He said, "Senior, has the long wait made you feel any better?"

　Irving hesitated and said, "What kind of talk is this now?"

　Dark said lightly, "After all, time can heal all wounds."

　Irving said in a low voice, "But all I have left in my life is dueling."

　Dark smiled and said, "By the way, senior, I still don't know that since there are no rules in street duels, how to determine the winner? The original duel mode did use magic balls."

　Irving explained, "A street fight is one where you fight until the other person gives up."

　Dark asked curiously, "Isn't it said that the duelist himself can't participate?"

　Irving gave a strange smile: "Of course I can't play, but that doesn't mean I can't be attacked."

　Dark was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, this is street fighting!"

　Irving added, "Of course, you have to know when to stop in the academy."

　Dak nodded, indicating that he understood.

　Ultimately, street duels, by their very nature, are an upgraded version of street fighting.

　There are no rules, no referees.

　To achieve victory, any means are acceptable.

　Duelists are officially forbidden from participating, but since there are no rules or referees, who cares about that?

　As long as it's not in a public tournament, the true essence of street dueling lies in the duelists themselves!

　That's when equipment cards and weapon cards will come in handy.

　[I summon my fist to deliver a normal punch from the front!]

　Probably that's it.

　Even things like sprinkling lime or pouring sulfuric acid can become winning tactics.

　Of course, they are now in the academy, so the so-called "street duel" is naturally restricted.

　Dak patted the stone table beside him.

　His understanding of "no means necessary" is quite thorough.

　"How about we use this stone table as the dividing line?"

　"Can.

　Owen glanced at the two stone tables, feeling as if he had no recollection of them before.

　So there's such a nice place to relax by this lake?

　He calmed himself down slightly and reached for his wallet.

　He has a chance of winning this duel with Darko Dimon.

　Dark Dimon's deck had already been exposed in the previous rookie tournament.

　In his view, Dark's core magic cards are special enhancement cards, as well as highly intelligent magic spirits.

　In the unregulated street duels, Dark, possessing those special enhancement cards, could enhance his abilities to the highest level in an extremely short time.

　The second-tier magical spirit!

　While Dark's second-tier magical spirits are all four-star, each one is more powerful than the last.

　Therefore, it would be a fatal mistake to regard them as ordinary four-star magical spirits.

　But that's about it.

　Relying solely on the Magical Spirit Enhancement series cards has its limitations in every aspect.

　As a top student in his third year, Owen's deck is very diverse and comprehensive.

　He also has his own system for dealing with street duels.

　"Now that we've started..."

　"Then I'll teach him a lesson today!"

　Mike Irwin's gaze sharpened.

　Although he claimed he was there to embarrass himself, no one really wanted to embarrass themselves.

　He must win this duel!

　At the back of the crowd.

　Irving's lover, Maggie Gaskell, stood there quietly.

　She actually understands Irving's difficulties.

　But understanding doesn't mean being able to tolerate it.

　However, even after smashing the chocolates, we still need to show concern for those who need it.

　So she came back here.

　This duel gave her a very bad feeling; she really didn't want Owen to lose.

　"Isn't that Ou Wenxue's girlfriend?"

　Among the nearby crowd, Robert, who had nothing to do, suddenly spotted Maggie while looking around, and couldn't help but...

　"Witt whispered."

　Witt turned his head and glanced at her, somewhat puzzled. "It really is. I initially thought it was because Owen confessed his feelings with chocolates and got rejected, but then it sounded like they broke up. Why would she be here watching?"

　Robert whispered, "Relationships between men and women aren't that simple. How can you get back together without breaking up?"

　Witt remained silent.

　So it's possible to get back together after a breakup!

　Does this Owen scholar still deserve sympathy?

　Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked Robert, "Wait, if we win this duel, will Senior Owen be able to get back together with his girlfriend?"

　Robert stroked his chin, thought for a moment, then shook his head, feigning maturity: "I don't think so. Perhaps his defeat is the key to reconciliation!"

　Witt: "How so?"

　Robert: "Let me tell you the whole story. Let's not even talk about Witt and Robert's theoretical discussions on paper."

　Professor Lily, Pandora, and others focused all their attention on Dark.

　Professor Lily simply thought it would be interesting.

　Pandora, on the other hand, felt that Dark's victory was a matter of course.

　Rose and Diana, however, were somewhat worried.

　Diana held the panda familiar on her head and stared longingly at the arena, not understanding anything about street duels.

　But there was one thing she understood: Dark had never been exposed to this kind of duel before!

　As a beginner, one is bound to be completely unaware of some of the tricks and routines involved.

　This makes it easy for someone to take advantage of a weakness.

　So even though she trusted Darke a lot, she couldn't help but worry about him.

　Rose and she shared almost the same idea.

　The two couldn't help but feel worried.

　So, under everyone's watchful eyes, Dark and Irving each stepped back.

　Street duels have no rules, and naturally, no restrictions on the venue.
