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

　Once the atmosphere eased a bit, Pandora asked curiously, "Can your sword freely transform between a weapon and a magical spirit?"

　Dark nodded and said, "That's right. Haven't you seen her before, senior?"

　Pandora shook her head: "I have seen them before, but I didn't expect you to be able to create one. This type of magical spirit can be specially summoned in the form of a weapon card, which is extremely rare."

　Dark chuckled, took the card pack off his leg, and began to replenish the magic power of each magic card one by one.

　The two senior students selected on the field have already walked out of the contestant tunnel.

　Dark glanced at them briefly and immediately recognized one of the senior students: "Is he the one who uses the 'Dragon Slayer Sword'?"

　“Luke Becky, a fifth-year student,” Pandora said softly, “a formidable opponent.”

　Dark: "I can tell."

　Pandora nodded and said, "Dragons are born with absolute dominance, and dragons restrain each other. The 'Dragon Slayer Sword' is actually made with dragon-attribute materials as part of its core."

　Dark looked slightly surprised: "Is that so?"

　Pandora chuckled. "It's no secret. By the way, did you really plan this Easter Duel Festival? I mean, that model Easter egg."

　Dark smiled and said, "You could say that."

　Pandora winked at him, then took out two models from her small bag and waved them at him.

　Upon closer inspection, Dak subconsciously rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.

　But in that fair and smooth palm lay two equally white magical elf models.

　One of them is an adorable cat, which is actually a model of "Gatomon".

　The other one was the "Sky White Dragon," of which there were only three!

　Dark couldn't help but ask, "Senior, how many Easter eggs did you buy?"

　Pandora's lips curled up in a smug smile as she said, "Three."

　"Three, three??"

　Dark was immediately taken aback and subconsciously asked, "What about the other egg?"

　Pandora carefully put the two models back in her hands, and then took out the third one... an egg!

　She handed the Easter egg to Dark, smiling, "I bought three at once, and I didn't expect to get a white dragon on the second one. This third one..."

　Dark took the egg-sized Easter egg from her hand without any hesitation, stared at it for a long time, and then suddenly asked, "If I get a popular A-rank magical spirit from this Easter egg, is it my luck or yours?"

　Pandora's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her crystal-clear lips parted slightly as she uttered, "Of course, it's because I was lucky; after all, I bought the Easter egg."

　Dark then asked, "What if it's a popularity rating of E?"

　Pandora said matter-of-factly, "Of course it's because you're unlucky. After all, even with the Easter eggs I bought, you could only get the worst ones."

　Dark: "..."

　After a long while, he looked solemnly at the Easter egg in his hand, pondering whether to summon "Devimon".

　So far, thanks to the "strong luck" of "Devimon", he has successfully obtained a C-rank "Giants" model and an A-rank "Pure White Dragon Princess" appearance. Later, he bought a "Devimon" model that a senior student had rejected.

　To be honest, compared to the D-rank model "Gitomon" and the A-rank model "Sky White Dragon" that Pandora-senpai offered, its value is not low.

　Although both are A-rank, "Pure White Dragon Princess" is slightly less valuable than "Sky White Dragon".

　The model of "Sky Dragon" can definitely be described as "Super A grade".

　"Speaking of which, I've bought a few model Easter eggs, but I didn't open them myself."

　Dark placed his hand on the top of the Easter egg and said softly.

　Pandora then asked with a smile, "Isn't that the first time?"

　Dark smiled. "That's how it is."

　As he spoke, he exerted force with his fingers and pressed them in with a "snap," breaking through the shell.

　Next, he wasn't in a hurry, and slowly pried open the surrounding eggshell.

　Wait until the eggshell is cracked open to a certain extent before inserting.

　Insert your finger and pinch the model out.

　"Looks like you're lucky."

　Dark picked up the model and waved it at Pandora.

　The model, bathed in sunlight, glowed with a faint white light, as if it had just opened its eyes, as if it were a newborn.

　A kind of spirituality seemed to emerge from its bluish-green cat eyes.

　The white cat, which was supposed to be a model, suddenly licked Darker's finger.

　Dark's mind raced, and he exclaimed with delight, "It's actually a moving magical model!"

　This magical spirit is none other than "Gatomon"!

　"Excellent, truly excellent—"

　Pandora looked at the model in Dark's hand and suddenly took out another "Gittomon" model from her small bag.

　Then she placed the stationary, ordinary model into Dark's palm, followed by the animated magical model, and said with a sweet smile, "Alright, now it's mine—"

　Dark: "..."

　Since Dark got a "Gatomon" model for free, he certainly wouldn't and couldn't have any objections.

　Holding the ordinary "Gatomon" model, he hesitated and said, "Then I'll accept it?"

　Pandora: "Aren't you going to say thank you?"

　Dark: "Thank you."

　Pandora: "Good girl—"

　……

　Just as Dak was opening the egg, two contestants from the senior group had already stepped onto the contestant platform.

　The red team's player is Luke Becky, who wields the "Dragon Slayer Sword," while the blue team's player is a senior student that Dark doesn't quite remember.

　Although Judy had given each contestant a brief introduction on stage.

　Pressing a recorder isn't like taking a tape recorder, so people who don't care naturally don't bother to take notes.

　However, Pandora clearly knew a lot about them, and immediately began to recount her knowledge of the two players as if she knew them by heart.

　Luke Becky vs. Elori Clarissa

　"Dragon Slayer" vs. (Fairy Princess)

　Fifth grade vs. fourth grade!

　"Luke Becky is a fifth-year student at the Fool's House. For a time, he was a formidable rival to Noah Sharp, the 'Baron of the Night,' who was also a fifth-year student, and thus earned the title of 'Dragon Slayer.'"

　“And Elurly Clarissa is a fourth-year student at the Academy of Nobles. She is of noble birth and has royal blood... I thought you should know her at least a little.”

　"Luke Becky has many decks, but his best one is a Dragon Slayer deck. Eluri Clarissa, on the other hand, specializes in Fairy-type Magical Spirits, and she's a very troublesome person."

　Fairy-type has a certain degree of advantage over Dragon-type.

　On the surface, both Becky and Clarissa are clearly targeting the dragon species.

　But upon closer reflection, this situation is quite normal.

　After all, among the students of St. Mary's Academy this year, there are two very popular star duelists who are both dragon-type specialists!

　Since these two are facing off in the first round, one of them will inevitably be eliminated.

　In this way, Noah Sharp, the "Baron of the Night," who barely made it into the next round in eighth place, will have a much easier time.

　"The Baron of the Night" must be chuckling to himself right now, right?

　Dak listened attentively to Pandora's explanation and watched the match intently.

　High-quality duels are rare and hard to come by.

　If you watch carefully, you can always gain something from it.

　……

　The duel between the "Dragon Slayer" and the "Fairy Princess" lasted a full thirty rounds.

　Even though both sides had drawn all forty magic cards by the eighteenth round, the outcome was still undecided.

　Afterwards, relying on their hand cards, the two sides engaged in fierce attacks and defenses, taking turns to clear the field. The intensity of the battle kept the audience on the edge of their seats!

　Dark had never experienced such a long duel, nor was he fascinated by it.

　It wasn't until the thirtieth round that "Dragon Slayer" Luke Becky gained a slight advantage and shattered "Fairy Princess's" magic ball!

　The moment the blue team's magic ball's magic value reached 0, the referee's whistle rang out rapidly, and the entire stadium was plunged into a frenzy of excitement.

　Compared to the three-round duel between Dark and Mike Irwin, the thirty-round duel between these two senior students was clearly more attractive to the audience and more exciting to watch.

　Dak straightened his back and let out a breath.

　"too strong."

　The sheer strength displayed by these two contestants in this duel was astonishing.

　I'm afraid even Vlad the vampire wouldn't last more than a few rounds against them.

　In the decade or so since the war ended, magical technology has exploded, and the students' abilities have surpassed those of the past at a visible speed.

　After defeating Mike Irwin, Dark's slightly agitated mind calmed down as the duel ended.

　"Next up is the duel for the lower grades. However, compared to the duels for the upper grades, the lower grades' duels will probably just be a supplement."

　With this in mind, Dark absorbed knowledge from Pandora's words while waiting.

　……

　Easter Duel Festival, Lower Grades Group, Round 1, Match 2 of the Main Tournament.

　Elsie Kevin vs. Mary Bond!

　……

　With the choice of the two players confirmed, Dark blinked and suddenly became interested.

　Both Elsie Kewen, a senior student, and Mary Bond, a senior student, had contact with him.

　Observing a duel between acquaintances and watching a duel between strangers are, of course, two different experiences.

　As Dark watched the two ascend the arena, he couldn't help but remark, "The second year versus the Book House is a complete civil war."

　Pandora raised her hand, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and asked with interest, "Since you both know each other, who do you think will win?"

　Dak frowned and thought for a moment.

　He once dueled with Elsie Kevin in his debut match in the rookie tournament.

　This "Mech" deck by Kevin is indeed quite unique.

　Whether it was the assembly and fusion of "mechanical components", the effect of using components as offerings after they were destroyed and decomposed, or the final ritual summoning, all of these things amazed him at the time.

　Unfortunately, Senior Kai's last trump card—the six-star magical spirit, Mechanical Dragon—was slightly inferior in strength.

　Otherwise, Darko might not have been able to win.

　As for Mary Bond...

　He didn't actually provoke her during the preliminary rounds; their only contact was during the naked encounter between "Lionmon" and "Berserker Tiger."

　Pretend to fight one-on-one.

　In a formal duel, such a situation would certainly not occur.

　The fighting prowess of that "Berserk Tiger" truly left a deep impression on him.

　However, that's all there is to it.

　Emotionally, Dark would naturally hope that Senior Mary would win.

　However, in terms of dueling skills, Senior Ma Li, who has put a lot of effort into her training, should normally be inferior.
