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

　A huge countdown appeared overhead.

　……

　The instant the countdown ended.

　The final number then transformed into a new countdown: [29:59].

　A few seconds later.

　The duelists' resounding voices echoed throughout the entire venue.

　"Magic Summoning!"

　Amidst the rousing calls, one magical spirit after another was summoned.

　Such a grand scene, where over a hundred magical spirits are summoned at once, is rarely seen after the war ended.

　Although the initial summons are all first-tier magical spirits, quantity is justice.

　Seeing so many magical spirits appear at the same time, the audience almost immediately fell in love with this new duel mode.

　The contestants were also infected by the atmosphere, and many of them showed excitement on their faces.

　However, the world of magic duels is cruel.

　The smiles of almost half the people vanished within seconds of the summoning of the magical spirits.

　Because their magical spirits were instantly killed right under their noses!

　……

　The attacks from those around me came faster than I had imagined.

　After Dark Dimon summoned "Cursed Cage: Impmon" at the start, he only had to wait for the three-second cooldown before he saw an attack from player number 80 on his right arrive!

　The third-year student who summoned the first magical spirit in just three seconds immediately chose the first-year freshman who seemed to have a better life.

　Although Darko's performance in his rookie debut was decent, it doesn't change the fact that he is indeed a first-year player.

　The third-year student chose the three-star magical spirit with the strongest stats and the most agile movement at the start of the game—a winged steel-type snake!

　Card Name: Drill Snake

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Bird-Beast]

　[Type: Steel/Flying]

　【Magic Power: 1200】

　[Attack: 1500]

　[Defense: 1500]

　[Special Moves: Spiral Steel Drill, Gale Dash]

　The steel drill snake, with steel wings on its back, has a cone-shaped mouth that resembles a steel drill, allowing it to rotate at high speed and possessing exceptional armor-piercing capabilities.

　The ultimate move "Gale Dash" makes good use of the energy of the flying type to further increase the speed of the already fast attack and launch a fatal charge against the enemy!

　At the very moment that "Drill Serpent" launches "Gale Dash" against Devimon, Dark, as Devimon's master, would inevitably stop his second summoning if he were to give a verbal command.

　So Dark chose to believe.

　The little devilmon, carrying its master's trust, reacted quickly when it was targeted, flapping its wings and leaping upwards.

　Its flight speed was far slower than that of the "Drill Snake," but its alertness allowed it to escape unharmed.

　The "Drill Snake" that charged past beneath it did not turn around to continue its attack. Instead, it attacked the magical sprite of contestant number 76 on the left!

　The second-year student who also chose to summon a three-star magical spirit at the start shouted out the moment he discovered the "Drill Serpent".

　His three-star magical spirit—a horse-headed creature with a large shield—immediately raised its shield and aimed it at the "Drill Serpent."

　"boom!"

　At that moment, the spear and the shield clashed!

　Card Name: Horse-Headed Shield Guard

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Subhuman]

　[Type: Fighting]

　【Magic Power: 1300】

　[Attack: 1300]

　[Defense: 1600]

　[Ultimate Skill: Unwavering Steadfastness, Blast-Proof Shield]

　In an instant.

　The "Horse-Headed Shield Guard" was shimmering with orange light, and the activation of its ultimate skill "Unwavering" gave it more ability to withstand damage.

　The existence of the "riot shield" greatly enhances its defensive capabilities.

　Its basic defense, surpassing even Samsung's top-tier values, gives it the ability to withstand powerful impacts!

　However, Flying-types are naturally advantageous against Fighting-types.

　It was still forced to retreat by the "Steel Drill Snake's" "Gale Dash".

　He retreated several steps, losing his balance, and raised his shield high into the air!

　There are elemental weaknesses and strengths between magical spirits, a concept taught in the first year, but its practical application usually begins in the second year.

　Fortunately, type advantages and disadvantages are not as pronounced in this world as they are in the Pokémon world, where it's often one or two times stronger.

　Depending on the race and energy nature of various magical spirits, this restraint can fluctuate within a certain range.

　The ultimate move achieved by effectively utilizing attribute advantages is still considered a high-end application.

　"Steel Drill Snake's" Steel-type special move "Spiral Drill" is more powerful than "Gale Rush". However, "Gale Rush" is more effective against Fighting-type Horsehead Guardian.

　After it used "Gale Dash" to break through the "Horse-Headed Shield Guard's" large shield, it immediately switched to "Spiral Steel Drill" and attacked the "Horse-Headed Shield Guard's" chest head-on!

　A huge gap was drilled into that solid chest!

　This battle was undoubtedly a victory for the spear.

　But just as contestant number 80 was calmly preparing to summon a second magical spirit to deliver a fatal blow to the second-year student's magical spirit...

　Between contestants number 76 and 80, a dazzling dark golden light suddenly burst forth!

　Illuminated by that sliver of light, contestants number 80 and 76 suddenly felt an unusual emotion stirring within them.

　Contestant number 80's inner turmoil shifted, his gaze hardened, and even the tone of his call changed as a result.

　"Come out, Drill Snake, and let those foolish underclassmen know who the real powerhouse is!"

　The second "diamond snake" suddenly appeared amidst this condescending tone.

　The player number 76 trembled and roared, "How dare a mere steel snake break through my defenses? Magic Summoning—'Golden Armor Spell'!"

　Golden energy armor enveloped the "Horse-Headed Shield Guardian's" body, further enhancing its already formidable defense.

　The horse-headed man, clad in golden armor and wielding a large shield, looked as majestic as a war god at this moment.

　Its eyes gleamed with unwavering determination, and it raised its great shield again, launching a fierce shield bash at the "Drill Serpent"!

　"boom!"

　The steel-drilled snake was actually slapped and let out a miserable scream.

　But the appearance of the second steel drill snake put the "Horse Head Shield Guard" in a difficult situation again.

　However, in the next instant, the huge, sharp "claw of death" suddenly descended from the sky, destroying the "horse-headed shield guard's" defense with overwhelming force, and slamming its horse head hard into the ground.

　"Devimon, Deathclaw!"

　Darkdemon's voice came just after that.

　Having unleashed its ultimate attack, Devimon let out a wild laugh, and its other arm suddenly grew longer. "Death Claw" grabbed the head of one of the Drill Snakes and slammed it into the ground!

　Two three-star magical spirits were utterly powerless against the four-star "Devimon".

　The expressions of contestants number 80 and 76, who had been uttering childish and pretentious remarks due to their "arrogance," changed drastically.

　In this critical moment, contestant number 76 managed to control the urge to summon a second magical spirit.

　Contestant number 80 drew a six-star Magical Spirit card...

　But his "Drill Serpent" didn't last long enough for him to complete the "Sacrifice Summoning".

　After Dark discovered his intention, he immediately instructed Devimon to focus its attack on the Drill Serpents and kill one of them completely!

　[Points +1]

　……

　The names of players who made the kills in a very short time immediately jumped to the top of the rankings.

　Darko Dimon's "first year" stands out conspicuously among a bunch of "second year" and "third year" students.

　But the students weren't so surprised after they saw his name.

　"If it's Dimon, then it's acceptable."

　This is the attitude of most students who have heard of it.

　But viewers who noticed the name for the first time were extremely shocked.

　However, the pace of this preliminary selection battle was unexpectedly fast in the early stages.

　Just as the audience was still reeling from the shock, they saw the rankings change again!

　……

　[Points +1]

　Contestant number 76's "Horse Head Shield Guard" and contestant number 80's two "Steel Drill Snakes" all met a tragic end.

　After regaining their senses, both players chose to stop summoning and cut their losses in time.

　The rules of the open selection battle determine the feasibility of this behavior; continuing to summon despite the difficulty will only result in giving away points.
