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

　Maintaining distance is a dueling habit.

　Only after they were each about ten meters away from the stone table in the middle did they give each other a "yes" gesture.

　And so, the street duel began!

　Dark abruptly reached into his card pack, the magical energy dancing on his fingertips rapidly flowing along the side of the magic card, where "remote transmission and control of magical energy" came into play.

　Magic cards, as carriers of magical power, can be completely controlled by this technique.

　Identify the types of magic cards using magic power.

　Then, it is extracted through "remote transmission and control of magic".

　This is a fundamental skill that a qualified mage must possess.

　Therefore, they only need a trace of magic to retrieve the magic card.

　Dark wasn't quite at that level of proficiency yet, but after reaching into his card pack, he immediately and precisely pulled out the magic card "[Hawk Wrestler]" from the entire pack!

　Then he started running non-stop!

　Even if you've never eaten pork, you've still seen a pig run.

　Since street duels allow you to attack your opponent, standing still is practically suicide.

　So just start running!

　And he had already completed his normal summoning spell almost as soon as he started!

　The entire summoning process takes only 2 seconds!

　In the blink of an eye, the [Hawkman] magic card lit up.

　Of all of Dark's magical spirit cards, apart from Meow Meow, which is not bound to Paradise, only Wrestling Hawkman possesses the strongest mobility!

　In unregulated street fights, mobility is of paramount importance.

　Therefore, it was as if the half-eagle man wearing a wrestling mask had leaped out of the magic card!

　On the other hand, Irving's summoning speed was noticeably slower than Dark's!

　Although that extra second is insignificant in this situation.

　But Irving's normal summoning spell was naturally compressed to the limit of 3 seconds!

　Dark's summoning speed is even faster than his, which means that he has already broken through the limit!

　The implications of this are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

　Many of those present noticed this, but few thought about it more deeply.

　The battle between the two sides did not stop because of this one-second difference.

　It only lasted for a fleeting moment.

　No sooner had Dak left than a muddy patch appeared beneath his feet!

　If he had slowed down even a little, he would have sunk into the mud.

　Even if they don't have to leave the field because they still have combat power, they will be trapped in the mud, which is equivalent to turning them from a moving target into a stationary target!

　Then, a fierce and relentless offensive will follow, forcing him back from the battlefield!

　This entire sequence only requires two [Spell Cards]!

　This is because there are restrictions within the academy.

　Otherwise, a [Spell Card] can directly attack the opponent, and if it hits, the duel will end immediately.

　Irving certainly hadn't expected Dak to take precautions in advance; he was momentarily stunned after summoning the Mud Magic.

　So much so that even as Dark began his second summoning, he was still holding the magic card he had prepared earlier, [Sword Hanging High]!

　That brief delay.

　The first magical elf to appear in the arena—a wrestling eagle—has already leaped across the halfway point.

　Its claws landed on one of the stone tables, leaving deep scratches on the hard stone. Then, using the recoil, it took off again and almost instantly closed in.

　When Irving came to his senses, he remained calm.

　Instead of converting magic cards, he directly summoned the [Sword Hanging High]!

　As the normal summoning spell was completed, a sudden gust of wind rose in mid-air, condensing into a sword shape in the air.

　Owen held up the magic card and pointed, and the [Sword Hanging High] plunged down from above and slammed into the ground!

　The "Sword Hanging High," originally intended to be aimed at duelists, was now being used to stop the Wrestling Hawkman's charge.

　"Hacha!"

　The Hawkman's flight path was suddenly blocked by the [Sword Hanging High] formed by the swirling wind, causing him to scream and abruptly...

　stop.

　Its wing feathers were being violently shaken by the wind, making flight difficult.

　But as Hawkman was blocked by the Sword of the High, a small gray figure flashed by, forcefully bypassing the Sword of the High from the other side, and pounced on Owen like the wind!

　That was another magical spirit summoned even before the [Sword Hanging High]

　【Meow!】

　As a three-star magical spirit with maximum magic attack, Meowth's speed ranks first among all of Dark's magical spirits.

　Number.

　Although it wasn't registered with the "theme park," the presence of the Wrestling Eagles attracted attention, and Dark was already somewhat at ease.

　He had basically predicted everything that would happen in the first few seconds of the game!

　His third magical Pokémon will be Devimon!

　Along with [Devimon], [Arrogant River] has also appeared in his hand.

　Indeed, the lack of powerful magic cards is his disadvantage.

　However, the magical spirit's ultimate move can effectively compensate for the lack of magic cards.

　Once he summons [Devimon], he will possess the ultimate power to end this chaotic duel!

　The entire duel took place in the blink of an eye.

　Irving cannot concentrate on summoning while manipulating the [Sword Hanging High].

　But with a flick of his finger, the [Sword Hanging High] suddenly spun, was pulled up, and swung horizontally!

　With this sword strike, an extremely powerful wind wall was instantly formed!

　They actually managed to block the cat's charge!

　Seeing the immense power of this "Sword Hanging High," Dark frowned slightly, and his fingers trembled.

　If the Hawkman hadn't been fast enough to pose a fatal threat to Irving, the [Sword Hanging High] would have been hovering right above his head!

　However, after the [Sword Hanging High] unleashed that wind wall, its own magic power was quickly depleted, leaving only a thin shadow.

　Basically, it's equivalent to being exhausted.

　at the same time.

　Owen produced a third magic card and began running and teleporting.

　The failure of [Mud Trap] and the forced defense of [Sword Hanging High] have put him at a disadvantage.

　Without the [Magic Spirit] skill to start, it means there is no shield in front of him to block the opponent.

　However, the summoning of the third magic card will solve this problem.

　"Arm up, transform!"

　Owen pressed the third magic card firmly against his chest.

　A silken, cocoon-like light erupted from his chest, instantly enveloping his body and eventually weaving it into a full-body garment.

　Armed!

　Equipment cards and weapon cards are the true core of street duels.

　Mike Irving dons his armor as he runs, his entire body enveloped in soft metallic armor from head to toe, with his eyes appearing...

　She wore a pair of red eye patches resembling insect compound eyes, and in her heart was a shining ruby ​​that served as the core of her magic.

　The moment the armor was successfully donned, a large amount of magic power was continuously absorbed by the armor card.

　Although Owen had become incredibly agile and was no longer afraid of the three-star magical spirit's close-range attacks, the current situation was not...

　What he wanted to achieve.

　His original intention was to decide the outcome within two moves.

　Only by unexpectedly and instantly killing the opponent can one avoid worrying that Dark will use a move that he doesn't know about later.

　But it's too late now.

　When he transforms into his armed form.

　Dark has successfully summoned Impmon, and Pride 1 is also in the works.

　One of the effects of [Paradise]: Summoning time of magical spirits belonging to Paradise is reduced by 1.

　This caused Dark's summoning speed to exceed its limit!

　Hehehe!

　The maniacal laughter of Devimon echoed through the sky.

　It already knew who the main character was today.

　Little Demon Beast will surely stand above the heavens!

　"In the name of Dark Demon, Summon Magic!"

　Amidst the rampant laughter of Impmon, Dark successfully activated [Pride I].

　A brilliant light suddenly burst forth from the card art of 【Arrogance 1I】.

　Devimon charged towards the beam of light.

　The skull pattern on its forehead quickly disappeared and was replaced by the emblem of [Pride].

　The dark gold light released from [Pride I] was instantly absorbed by the emblem, and then suddenly erupted.

　Centered on the [Pride] emblem, the Imp's body gradually transformed into light, enveloped in a dark golden sphere of light.

　"Roar!"

　With a ferocious roar, the sphere of light shattered, and a pair of tattered bat wings burst forth in fury!

　The demon with two sharp horns opened its scarlet, glowing eyes.

　The intense light was tinged with an almost ferocious arrogance!

　With a swift movement of its arms, it broke free of the sphere of light, revealing its muscular and agile body, which was encased in tight black clothing.

　It has come into the view of countless people!

　This demon beast, which Dark had never summoned in public before, exuded a darkness so pure and powerful that it inspired awe.

　fear.

　Its head was covered by a mask, revealing only the pale skin around its mouth, and its chest was marked with a scarlet bat-like symbol.

　Remember, he had multiple black leather belts around his waist, and his arms, which stretched down to his knees, had retractable forearms and huge, sharp death claws!

　Every single place is a symbol of extreme evil!

　If such an image were to appear before the Holy Church, it would certainly be an object of rejection!

　But this is St. Marian's College.

　A magic academy that has gained a more profound understanding of light and darkness!

　"He still managed to summon it!"

　After transforming into his armored form, Owen turned around and saw the imposing demonic beast, and his heart sank.

　The new second-tier magical spirit means a new ultimate move.
