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

　Now, turning back to the Leo Beast, Wilson suddenly realized that he had overlooked many things!

　"That sword..."

　Able to force Ghost-type Magical Spirits with the "Shadow" ability to...

　The sword that casts a shadow immediately evokes the image of "that".

　But Wilson dared not make any rash statements before things were confirmed.

　In fact, there are quite a few weapons with similar abilities, and many magical items in the Holy Church have divine effects.

　However, that didn't stop him from boasting about the sword. "No, wait. Wasn't this sword previously equipped by Devimon?"

　Wilson paused, then suddenly noticed a key point.

　"Can anyone tell me why a dark-attribute demon can wield a sword that clearly possesses divine properties?"

　Similar doubts spread like germs.

　The students, professors, and audience members who had a basic understanding of the relevant knowledge were suddenly abuzz with excitement.

　So much so that the murmurs almost rivaled the cheers of the other spectators.

　And more and more people are paying attention to the battle on Leomon's side.

　But many people only have a superficial understanding.

　Then, they rely on their imagination to build their own framework, and within that framework, they speculate about things they don't actually understand.

　Therefore, very few people are able to come up with anything truly useful.

　At extremely close range.

　After Witt Gode sensed the aura of the "holy sword" more clearly, doubts arose.

　He had never actually seen the physical "Holy Sword." He had only created the "Holy Sword" using the "Holy Sword Spell," so he couldn't be certain of his guess.

　But this lingering doubt remains deeply rooted.

　He had no desire for the "Holy Sword".

　But if that lion-like magical spirit uses a real "holy sword", does it also possess the qualities of a hero?

　Impossible, right?

　How could a magical spirit possibly possess the qualities of a hero?

　Moreover, previous demon species also used this sword.

　A demon could never be a hero!

　Witt Gold slapped his forehead hard, trying to dispel this unrealistic idea.

　……

　"He's a hero! He has such a friendly aura about him."

　Arvit stretched her shoulders slightly, her tone light and cheerful.

　Although she had a feeling when Leomon was first summoned, she only confirmed it when it truly activated the "Holy" property of the "Sword Sheath".

　Magical spirits with the potential to be heroes are not actually an exception.

　It's just that ordinary people would never know that.

　After all, in the classification of magical spirits, there are "human races" and "demi-human races".

　There have been more than one great mage who attempted to replicate historical figures using magical spirits.

　Of course, this kind of replication can only replicate an empty shell, but if it is truly successful, even an empty shell will cause a huge sensation.

　later.

　As the research of those great mages was exposed to the light of day, more mages united to ban it and classify it as "forbidden".

　After all, most mages would not want to be desecrated like this after their death.

　But even so.

　Occasionally, historical figures are also created through normal magical transmutation procedures.

　That situation was unavoidable.

　If the impact is not significant, the archmage will turn a blind eye.

　Whether others are conducting similar experiments in secret is something that cannot be verified.

　However, records show that the Holy Church once eradicated several heretical sects that attempted to create "gods" using similar methods.

　Nobody knows if it's true.

　No one knows whether one can truly become a "god".

　In theory, even if successful, the "god" created would only be an empty shell.

　Nobody knows what will happen then.

　Could the empty shell of a "god" without a soul become a breeding ground for evil spirits?

　……

　After Claire heard the word "hero" from Alvette's own mouth, she once again lost control of her expression.

　After a long pause, she suddenly frowned and said, "Hero, Holy Sword, could this be a bad omen?"

　Alvit glanced at her and said calmly, "What's meant to happen will happen. I just didn't expect my darling to gain the possibility of becoming a hero candidate in this way."

　Their conversation was, at a certain moment, completely drowned out by the sound of the wind.

　Even the two little princesses who were right next to them couldn't hear their voices.

　……

　Inside the dueling arena.

　After banishing the Ghost-type Magical Spirit from its shadow, Leomon carefully raised its sword.

　The blurry humanoid ghost-type magic spirit was gradually recovering from its violent trembling.

　The two sides stood at a distance of five or six meters and confronted each other.

　Dark's gaze swept directly past the Ghost-type Magical Pokémon and landed on a third-year student directly opposite him.

　The senior student, clearly the master of this magical spirit, had flaxen hair parted in the middle, the ends of which cascaded over his shoulders. His eyes were a deep, dark black, and his features were soft and sinister.

　Yu has fair but not smooth skin.

　Dark didn't have a deep impression of him. He might have had some contact with him in the tower of the House of Nobles, but he didn't have many memories of him.

　But the way the other person looked in their direction didn't seem to be without ulterior motives.

　"Could it be from the Society for the Study of Aristocratic History?"

　Dark subconsciously recalled the scene in the candidate room before the start of the competition.

　But then he noticed that Mike Owen, the senior member of the Noble History Research Society, was directing magical elves in a fierce battle with humans on the other side.

　In his message, Mike Irwin was still the core member of the society that could represent the Society for the Study of Aristocratic History to extend an invitation to him.

　Since Mike Irwin hasn't made any moves, it's less likely that it's the Society for the Study of Aristocratic History.

　But if it has nothing to do with the Society for the Study of Aristocratic History, this man with a sinister appearance...

　Why is Yu's senior staring at her like that?

　Dark touched his handsome face and suddenly felt a chill.

　I don't know if the senior on the other side sensed something, but he suddenly looked away.

　However, his gaze immediately shifted to the battle between the magical spirits.

　"Shadow Demon, Night Assault!"

　Without hesitation, the command caused the magical spirit named "Shadow Demon" to overcome its resistance to the "Holy Sword" and unleash its ultimate attack on Leomon.

　Card Name: Shadow Ghost

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Undead]

　[Type: Ghost/Dark]

　【Magic Power: 2500】

　[Attack: 2100]

　[Defense: 1400]

　Ultimate Techniques: Shadow Stealth, Night Assault, Shadow Strike

　The battle began in an instant.

　The "Shadow Demon's" humanoid body suddenly opened up, transforming into a pitch-black curtain, and flew towards the direction of the Lion Beast amidst screams.

　In the blink of an eye, the sky above the lion was shrouded in a huge "night curtain".

　The light dimmed in an instant.

　Black lines hung down from the night sky, dense and numerous, dark and shadowy.

　The forest is terrifying.

　A line touched the lion's shoulder, and it immediately felt its magic being drained away.

　But as soon as it made a move, the "night curtain" above its head suddenly dropped, enveloping the entire area as if to devour all living things within its range!

　The lion beast's expression turned solemn. It slightly bent its knees to gather strength, and the "single sword sheath" in its hand released an increasingly intense holy light due to the infusion of magic.

　at that time.

　The "shadow ghost" transformed into a "night curtain" that descended.

　Leomon, however, held the "Holy Sword" upside down and leaped up like a dragon, wielding the "Holy Sword" with a holy light from bottom to top, unleashing a storm-like sword strike.

　The "Holy" attribute of the "Single Sword Sheath" takes effect, increasing its resistance to dark attributes by a full 50%.

　The lion beast's sword sliced ​​through the "night sky" with countless cracks, as easily as cutting tofu!

　As the sunlight leaked through the gaps, the darkness was dispelled, and the black lines melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　"Qiang!"

　The moment the lion landed, its knees bent slightly to absorb the force.

　The sword has been returned to its sheath.

　The "night" formed by the "shadow ghost" delayed for a moment before suddenly exploding.

　After that, there was not a trace of shadow above my head.

　dark.

　……

　[Points +1]

　……

　Dark sensed Leomon's condition through the magic cards, but his gaze remained fixed on the figure facing the shadows.

　Yu's senior in the third year.

　But after his own magical spirit was killed, he didn't get angry but laughed instead, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he opened his mouth and said something.

　The shouts of the audience and commentators drowned out the sound.

　But the senior's expression and lip movements instantly alerted Dark.

　He immediately reminded Leomon by channeling magic power into a magic card.

　The next moment, the lion's shadow moved again.

　……
