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

　Dak was taken aback and couldn't help but take a closer look at the senior student.

　Judy's face can only be described as exquisite. Her perfectly applied makeup makes her incredibly charming, and her temperament is somewhere between sophisticated and delicate. She's like a Ragdoll cat that suddenly reveals a mischievous side.

　He briefly mentioned it, then smiled and said, "Since you say so, senior, then I'll admit that I'm very strong."

　Upon hearing this, applause erupted from the audience.

　People respect humble people, but they admire those who are confident and flamboyant enough.

　Without a commanding and assertive spirit, how can one inspire admiration?

　The audience was even more impressed with this blond boy from the first-year aristocratic academy.

　Judy looked satisfied and continued, "Now, let's move on to the second question. What's your assessment of your opponent in this duel?"

　Upon hearing this question, Dark frowned slightly.

　If Judy's first question was somewhat normal, then her second question was rather inappropriate.

　Why should a champion who has just won the final victory be asked to evaluate a runner who was eliminated?

　How dare you even ask that!

　But as his gaze shifted, Judy winked discreetly, her back to the audience, and gave a mischievous smile.

　In fact, the reason for asking this question was partly to create a lively atmosphere, and partly as a small act of revenge for the teasing that Dark had done in his previous interview.

　The famous dueling master, the wife of Lu Xun, once said, "A woman's mind is made of needle tip."

　But Dark saw the meaning in her eyes, and instead relaxed his brows and smiled, "Well, how should I put it? Actually, when I qualified for the finals, I initially thought my opponent would be senior Winnie Skadi. But in reality, it was senior Tom Nixon who stood opposite me..."

　Tom Nixon, walking through the athletes' tunnel, instinctively stopped in his tracks.

　The sounds from the stage traveled through the walls and reached his ears.

　But just as he was about to listen carefully, someone stepped out from around the corner ahead.

　“Ms. Leah Goethe”.

　Tom Nixon couldn't help but speak up.

　But as "Lia Goethe" approached him, she raised her index finger and said softly, "Don't you want to hear his opinion of you?"

　"I need a first-year evaluation?" Tom Nixon outwardly scoffed, but he was clearly listening intently.

　……

　Dark Dimon, holding the microphone, said, "Being able to defeat senior Winnie Skadi and successfully enter the finals naturally has its unique strengths. Senior Tom Nixon's deck has very strong synergy, giving the impression that no matter what cards you draw, you can form a synergy. This is something my deck is particularly lacking in. I should aim to learn from this in the future. But the flaws in Senior Tom Nixon's deck are also very obvious."

　"What's the defect?" Judy asked instinctively, but then added, "If it's inconvenient, we can jump over it..."

　“It’s not something that’s inconvenient to talk about,” Dark said seriously. “It’s very simple, his deck isn’t strong enough.”

　Judy couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Not strong enough?"

　Dark said again, "Yes, it's simply not strong enough. If we have the chance to meet again in the dueling arena, I sincerely hope that you can develop an even stronger ace."

　Judy exclaimed in surprise, "But his magical spirit is already six-star, and it's a six-star magical spirit with the attributes of a seven-star! That's already very impressive among third-year students."

　Dark shook his head and said, "Attributes are only one aspect; ultimate moves are the core of magical spirits. Senior, is there another question?"

　Judy quickly replied, "Of course."

　Dark nodded and said, "Please tell me."

　Judy pretended to think for a moment, then asked, "What are your expectations for the ultimate winner's prize? I mean, have you thought about what you might get from the final Easter egg?"

　Dark smiled and said, "Of course I've thought about it, and I'm looking forward to it."

　……

　Inside the players' tunnel.

　Tom Nixon was somewhat surprised after hearing Darke's assessment of him.

　He had expected Dark to mention his pre-match "hunting" gesture and his deliberate display of magic cards during the match. But Dark did nothing of the sort, simply offering his assessment of his deck.

　but……

　He hesitated and asked, "Is my deck really not strong enough?"

　But in his presence, "Lia Goethe" shook her head and said, "No, he is not telling the truth."

　Tom Nixon looked up, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

　"Lia Goethe" smiled slightly: "Because you have an even greater flaw."

　Tom Nixon frowned instantly, but then took a deep breath to calm himself down.

　He had no right to be angry in front of this woman.

　The voice of "Lia Goethe" rang out leisurely: "Well, what do you think of my proposal?"

　Tom Nixon said, "But I failed."

　"Lia Goethe" laughed and said, "It's alright, we can change the terms."

　Tom Nixon: "What are the conditions?"

　Leah Goethe: "Werther Gaudí, you should know him..."

　……

　Everything has already deviated from its intended course.

　Everyone is heading down a completely different path.

　……

　After answering Judy's three questions, Dak Dimon greeted the audience and left the stage.

　Next up will be the final match of this year's Easter Duel Festival – the senior group finals!

　Dark was equally looking forward to this sure-fire duel. But what he needed to do now wasn't to find a seat and sit down to watch the fight.

　He saw the professors in the ring when he was on the contestants' stage.

　"I remember Professor Sylph was sitting over there... I wonder if Sister Kallian has taken a short break?"

　Dak continued walking along the rear of the ring road, his gaze sweeping over the backs of the figures.

　Next, he needs to wait for the senior group final to finish before he can receive the award with the final winner, so he can't leave for the time being.

　Duel Arena.

　The best way to get rid of Leomon's abnormal status as soon as possible is to go to the professor.

　Even if Sister Carlian isn't here, Professor Sylph should have a way.

　Unbeknownst to him, his relationship with Professor Sylph seemed to have improved as well.

　……

　As Noah Sharp, the "Baron of the Night," and the sixth-year student ascended the steps to the arena, Dark finally found Professor Sylph.

　He was then quite surprised to find that Professor Mitya Bartholomew was also with Professor Sylph.

　"Is it to prevent Professor Mitia from causing trouble at Easter, so she's kept by my side?"

　Dak couldn't help but grin, wanting to laugh.

　Professor Mitis Bartholomew, despite being an older single woman, acts like a naughty child caught red-handed in front of Professor Sylph.

　The dignified Silver Moon Witch, the Star-Eyed Diviner, has truly lost all her dignity.

　He walked through the passageway.

　Before they even got close, Professor Sylph turned her head, clearly sensing the "blessing of the wind spirit."

　Sometimes Dark thought that the "blessing of the wind spirit" might be no different from a GPS signal in Professor Sylph's eyes.

　If he were to perish one day, Professor Sylph might be able to find him quickly by relying on her intuition.

　"professor."

　Dark quickened his pace and circled around to face Professor Sylph.

　There were quite a few professors around, including Professor Cazell and Professor Lily, but unfortunately Sister Kallian was not there.

　Dak greeted the professors he knew, then bent down and said a few words to Professor Sylph.

　Professor Sylph said seriously, "Your magical spirit is different from usual; it is indeed necessary to have Sister Kallian examine it. However, as for simply removing the abnormal status left by the 'parasitic seed,' I can do that."

　Dark thought for a moment and said, "Let's remove the abnormal status first. I'll visit Sister Kallian again afterward."

　Professor Sylph nodded and said, "Summon 'Lionmon'."

　……

Chapter 404 Darkdemon Doesn't Want to Die (4k)

　Dark drew the "Leomon" magic card from his sleeve and infused it with magic to awaken it.

　Then, I took out the fully powered "Pokémon" and "Dreammon" and used the Sacrifice Summoning Technique to summon Leomon from the Magic Cards.

　The lion-like beast that appeared before everyone was tall and imposing. However, its left eye was still parasitized by the demonic seed, making its face look ferocious.

　Professor Sylph glanced at it, then drew a magic card from her card pack and summoned it with a wave of her hand.

　As a soft melody played, a gentle rain suddenly fell from the sky, carrying a refreshing scent.

　The lion beast, bathed in the rain, visibly relaxed.

　It covered its left eye and breathed slightly.

　The sweet rain gradually slid down his cheeks, seemingly gathering towards his left eye as if by some consciousness.

　A flash of pain appeared, and the demonic seed in the lion beast's left eye withered and dried up at a visible speed, eventually turning into a clump of black powder that was washed away.

　The blood-red in the lion's eyes finally faded, and the frenzied aura gradually dissipated.

　Dark breathed a sigh of relief and reached out his hand to the lion beast.

　The lion raised its hand and pressed its paw pad into its palm.

　The two sides looked at each other.

　The lion's eyes regained their clarity, as if to say, "You've recovered, please rest assured."

　Dak was finally relieved.

　Immediately afterwards, Leomon's body turned into light and disappeared back into the Magic Card.

　Dark carefully touched the card and put it back in his card holder.

　The professors couldn't help but smile as they saw how much he cherished the magical spirits.

　……

　With the match imminent, Darke and Professor Sylph thanked him and quickly left.

　But he didn't go far; instead, he found an empty seat nearby and sat down to watch the final match.

　The audience's enthusiasm seemed inexhaustible; even when "Baron Noah Sharp" and the sixth-grader stepped onto the contestant's platform, shouts still echoed throughout the arena.

　Both contestants are quite popular.

　The sixth-grade student's name is Joseph Bruno, nicknamed "Blue Sky Knight." He specializes in flying-type magical spirits, and almost all of his magical spirits can fly in the air.

　In magical duels, magical spirits with the ability to fly always have an extra advantage.

　Engage in a duel with "Blue Sky Knight" Joseph Bruno. If the ball loses even the slightest rhythm, it will be caught in a relentless and ferocious onslaught, ultimately being overwhelmed and destroyed in one fell swoop.

　The style of "Blue Sky Knight" is roughly like this.

　In contrast, "The Baron of the Night" is a well-rounded character who excels in all aspects.

　The duel between the two was undoubtedly spectacular, and Darke watched with rapt attention.

　The fifth and sixth graders have basically mastered all the content taught in the academy, and they can use each type of card with ease, from venue cards to ritual cards.

　Of course, from God's perspective, one can always find some shortcomings in the players.
