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

　After confirming his victory, he began to collect the magic cards.

　However, he only used five magic cards in this duel, so he finished in a short time.

　He gathered magic at his fingertips and teased the Gatomon on the card. Only after Gatomon turned around, annoyed, and turned its back to him did he smile and put the entire deck into the card pack.

　By this time, Mike Irving on the other side had also finished packing up.

　Dark looked up at him and saw that although Senior Owen was quite excited when the outcome was decided, he quickly returned to calm after the duel ended.

　He didn't have many interactions with Mike Irving, and he didn't have a bad impression of him; at most, he just thought he was quite interesting.

　After these three short rounds of duel, he discovered that Ou Wenxue's strength might be a little stronger than he had imagined.

　The combination of the "Sword Hanging High" and the "Blade of the Storm" was indeed amazing to him.

　If it weren't for his good luck and the fact that Ou Wenxue lacked understanding of the "single sword sheath," it's hard to say whether he could have won.

　After meeting Mike Irving's gaze, Darke placed his hand on the card table and said, "Thank you for the favor."

　Then the card table was closed.

　……

　Mike Irving nodded seriously at him, then turned and walked off the platform.

　Despite his defeat, he walked down the stairs with unexpected ease.

　Of course, we can't let others find out...

　This "all-out defeat" might actually be a good thing for him.

　"It's April, and the semester is almost halfway over. It's time to prepare for the final exams... and relax a bit."

　……

　As Dak stepped off the platform, the staff member in charge of guiding him was already waiting at the bottom of the stairs.

　The two nodded to each other, and the staff member said earnestly, "Next is the winner's interview. Judy will choose three standard questions to ask you. You can answer them selectively, so don't be too reserved."

　Dark paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, senior. I'll handle it well."

　The staff member patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Keep it up, I have high hopes for you."

　Dak nodded and said, "Thank you."

　He then turned and walked towards the stage.

　Just as he turned around, he noticed that the senior seemed to be wearing a model around his waist.

　"Wait, isn't that Gatomon's?"

　A thought flashed through Dak's mind, and his "business acumen" inherited from his previous life immediately made him realize the problem.

　He was immediately left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

　"This senior, you're probably eyeing the price increase of the 'Gatomon' model, aren't you? Although Gatomon's performance is indeed quite impressive."

　Dak shook his head and continued on his way.

　Not long after, he took to the stage.

　The host, senior student Judy, was already waiting for him on stage. She then addressed the now quiet audience, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this duel is now taking the stage—Dark Dimon, a first-year student from the Noble Academy. I know you are all very curious about him, so as is customary, I will choose three questions to ask him to satisfy your expectations."

　After she finished speaking, Judy made way for him and waved to Dark: "Dimon, please come over here."

　Dak then went to the center of the stage.

　Judy is quite tall, over 1.7 meters even without shoes.

　Dak stood next to her, not appearing particularly tall.

　However, the comparison between people cannot be made simply by their height.

　With the two of them standing there, almost everyone's attention was focused on Dark.

　Judy, standing beside him, could only become a green leaf to set off the flowers.

　After a short while...

　Judy then pretended to take out a small piece of paper and read aloud from the blank paper, "So, the first question is, Dark Dimon, are you really the planner of this Easter Duel Festival?"

　As expected, the audience erupted in excitement when this question was raised.

　But Dark glanced at them and smiled, "You can't say that. I only participated in the planning of this Easter Duel Festival."

　Ti's gaze shifted, and she asked, "So, what's the participation rate?"

　Darke then turned to ask, "Is this the second question?"

　Judy paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes."

　"That's good." Dark turned to face the audience. "In terms of participation, it's about 99.999%..."

　With the appearance of this series of "nines", the initially surprised audience suddenly felt that this was a "joke".

　Some people thought about it and agreed, saying that it was indeed true that a first-year student could participate in the planning of such a large-scale event.

　How could he have planned it all?

　However, I didn't expect this top student in the first year to be so humorous.

　But on stage, Judy's expression stiffened slightly, and for a moment she didn't know how to ask the next question.

　Dark glanced at her, then simply took the microphone and said, "Although the actual situation is somewhat different, that's about it."

　He then handed the microphone back to Judy, placed his hand horizontally in front of his abdomen, bowed slightly towards the audience, took two steps back, and then turned and left the stage with elegance and composure.

　It was only then that Judy realized that Dark Dimon had clearly only answered one question from beginning to end!

　Her lips twitched, but she couldn't let it show on stage, so she could only continue to smile and face the audience.

　……

　While Judy was busy dealing with the audience, Darko Dimon, who was walking off the stage with his back to the audience, had a slight change in expression.

　He quickened his pace as soon as he stepped off the stage.

　The next match will be between two players selected from the senior group.

　Then it will be the turn of the lower grades.

　The two groups will compete in a cross-group format, and only after the quarterfinals will they enter the second round of the main competition, the semifinals.

　The first round of the quarterfinals will not be completed in one go.

　Generally, there will be a total of four matches, two for each of the upper and lower grade groups, followed by a lunch break.

　The break will last for about one to two hours, allowing the audience to have a quick meal.

　During this period, Yuanfang also prepared some programs, but most of them were simple music programs, with at most some magical projections to enhance the atmosphere.

　The main competition will continue one to two hours later, until a winner is determined.

　Therefore, Darko has plenty of time before the next round of the competition begins.

　He entered the contestant passage from behind the stage, then turned into the side passage and quickly walked to the circular area.

　But instead of going directly to Rose and Diana, or striking up a conversation with Pandora, he went straight to a spot he had locked onto on the stage!

　But a few minutes later, after finally squeezing into that spot, he discovered that the woman with long orange hair who was supposed to be sitting there had already disappeared.

　This made him frown, so he simply sat down in that spot.

　But the woman who had already "slipped away" could not possibly return.

　……

　In a seat a little further away, Professor Mitya Bartholomew was sitting with the other professors, with Professor Sylph sitting next to her!

　Mitia was dressed as usual today, but was ordered to wear a coat.

　While complaining about Professor Sylph's conservatism, she obediently put on a coat, concealing her overly fierce figure inside.

　Given her personality, it was impossible for her to voluntarily join this group of "rigid" professors.

　But Professor Sarah Sylph knocked on her dormitory door early in the morning and extended an invitation that she could not refuse.

　Professor Sylph was arguably the professor she knew best in the college, and she had no reason to refuse her invitation—especially given the way Professor Sylph looked at her at the time, with a kind of mockery that she knew all too well.

　So Mitia had no choice but to accept Sylph's invitation and obediently sit there.

　The pain of not being able to watch the drama was making her really restless.

　The Easter Duel Festival is still in full swing.

　Having been forced to leave her original seat, "Lia Goethe" is now strolling among the crowd.

　She really didn't expect that Dak Dimon would find her among so many students; they had just made eye contact by accident.

　But if you've been discovered, you've been discovered; you can just leave.

　She didn't pay much attention.

　Compared to Dark Dimon, she was more concerned about Dark's two magical spirits—"Leomon" and "Gittomon"—and the "Holy Sword".

　Among those present, there were not many who could identify the "single sword sheath" as belonging to the "Holy Sword" at a glance.

　"Lia Goethe" happens to be one of them.

　While pondering how Dark had crafted these three magic cards, she pinched her face a few times, trying to make herself look unlike herself.

　For a Grand Magister, there are countless ways to disguise and transform.

　She simply used the simplest one.

　The slanting sunlight shone on me.

　Her orange-red hair seemed to absorb the light, becoming even more vibrant.

　……

　Darko Dimon sat in the original seat of "Leah Goethe" for a while, but eventually got up and left.

　He didn't return to Rose and Diana's side. After all, there were only two seats, and he couldn't keep squeezing in with the two young girls.

　So he thought for a moment and walked towards Pandora's seat.

　He noticed that there was an empty seat next to Pandora.

　When he found Pandora Drogon, the crew was carrying the first table full of Easter eggs onto the stage.

　Then, Judy used a small hammer to crack open two Easter eggs and selected the first two students from the senior group to appear.

　As two numbers were drawn in succession, Dark walked up to Pandora and whispered, "May I sit down?"

　Pandora turned halfway around in surprise, raised her head slightly, and then smiled and said, "Of course."

　Amidst the strange looks from the surrounding students, Dark sat down in the seat next to Pandora.

　Then, instinctively, he reached out into Pandora's arms and grabbed the soft spot of one of the "little fat pigs".

　"Meow--"

　The genuine "dragon" cat-shaped cat grass then rubbed against Dark's finger.

　Dak narrowed his eyes and pinched the skin twice more.

　Even though the cat grass and fox grass at home are both very cute.

　But the fragrance of wildflowers can never compare to the fragrance of garden flowers.

　Dark Dimon...cough cough!

　……
