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

　……

　"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the St. Marian Duel Arena!"

　This time, Judy, who was also in charge of hosting, appeared in the center of the stage after a burst of fluorescent lights, accompanied by fluttering petals.

　Today, Judy was wearing a well-tailored, form-fitting magic robe, her light brown curly hair tied up high, revealing her slender nape of the neck, making her appear even more mature and glamorous.

　Before the contestants took the stage, she was clearly the most beautiful flower in the entire venue.

　There seemed to be some die-hard fans of Judy among the audience, and the roar that erupted at that moment actually overwhelmed the entire venue.

　……

　Annular belt.

　Looking at the radiant Judy on stage, Dark couldn't help but ask, "Speaking of which, what is Judy's real name?"

　He was actually asking about Doron in the front row, but Diana next to him blinked sharply and said, "Dark, Judy is so pretty!"

　Dark nodded and said, "She is quite pretty. But in a few years, Diana will definitely be prettier than her."

　Diana: "Hehe."

　Dark then asked, "But which college and year is Judy in? Come to think of it, she seems to have never revealed it."

　“This…” Diana said, “Anyway, it’s not from the House of Nobles!”

　“That’s true.” Dark nodded. “If it’s from the House of Nobles, they should remember.”

　Rose asked curiously, "I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention this senior's full name. Which college is she from?"

　The three looked at each other, and suddenly realized that they seemed to have found a mystery.

　Solving this mystery isn't actually that difficult.

　But sometimes leaving the mystery unsolved is also a kind of beauty.

　"duang!"

　The sudden burst of music on stage drew Dark's attention back to the stage.

　The band, appearing out of nowhere, played the famous "Haska on His Deathbed" with absolute power.

　The atmosphere in the entire venue thus shifted to a more formal tone.

　Then, under the guidance of senior student Judy, a total of twenty contestants from five grades and four colleges stepped out from behind the scenes onto the stage.

　Since they were representing their respective colleges, each contestant wore a formal school uniform and a college badge and duel badge.

　But apart from that, everyone was clearly made up.

　The girls are exquisitely beautiful, and the boys are dashing and handsome.

　The twenty contestants who appeared

　The hands are arranged in groups of five, standing from left to right.

　Then, Judy gave each contestant a brief self-introduction.

　Dak listened carefully and found that he recognized a few of the people among them.

　First up is Pandora Drogon from the Magic Academy.

　As a rising star in St. Marian, Pandora is representing the Magic Academy as the slated top student of the fourth year.

　Then there's Winnie Skadi, who also attended the Magic Academy.

　This senior, who was unexpectedly eliminated by Tom Nixon, a fellow third-year student, at the Easter Duel Festival, has reappeared on the dueling stage.

　But this time her expression was clearly different; she was obviously serious.

　However, the third-year representative of the Fool's House was not Tom Nixon.

　The representatives of the second year of the House of Nobles were not Elsie Kevin and Mary Bond, whom Dark was more familiar with.

　However, the representative of the fifth year of the Knights Academy was still the "Baron of the Night," Roa Sharp.

　As for the representative of the fifth grade of the Fool's House, it was not "Dragon Slayer" Luke Becky.

　Dark observed the unfamiliar upperclassmen with great curiosity. Then he suddenly noticed that Pandora's gaze had been fixed on him.

　He couldn't help but smile, and raised his hand to wave vigorously.

　Diana and Rose exchanged a glance and immediately raised their hands and waved them vigorously, joining the cheers to cheer on Pandora.

　Then Doron, who was in the front row, suddenly turned around and asked in confusion, "How can you cheer for the Magic Academy? They are our mortal enemies this year!"

　If the Noble Academy wants to win the Academy Cup this year, the Magic Academy is the biggest hurdle in front of them.

　Doron was naturally not very fond of it.

　“You don’t understand,” Diana said, lowering her hand. “We have a good relationship with our senior. We’re happy when she wins, and we’re happy when she loses. It’s a win-win situation.”

　Rose couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "I think it's the secret to always having a good laugh."

　Duolong thought women were truly unreasonable, and turned his head away with a dark expression.

　Dark couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

　……

　The Academy Cup Duel Tournament, or Academy Cup for short, officially kicked off around 9:00 AM.

　According to the regular competition system, each department has five contestants as a group, and each group will compete against the other three groups once. The winner of each duel will earn 10,000 temporary credits for the department.

　The duels between groups consist of six rounds, with five duels in each round.

　After these six rounds, the next round will be a challenge against teams from higher levels.

　Participants can choose to challenge upperclassmen or upperclasswomen from other departments who are in a higher grade than themselves.

　In addition to the base score of 10,000, the winner will also receive extra challenge points for each level they advance, with an additional 10,000 points for each level they advance.

　The department with the highest cumulative score by the end of the competition will receive a prize of 100,000 points.

　These credits will be included in the calculation of the College Cup's credit allocation.

　……

　After the contestants finished their introductions and left the stage, Judy activated a magic card and summoned the symbols of the four houses—a crown, a lance, a grimoire, and the "Fool" tarot card.

　She then arranged the four symbols in a circle and moved the pointer in the center.

　With two flicks, the pointers pointed to the crown and the magic book respectively.

　This means that the first round of this Academy Cup will be between the Noble Academy and the Magic Academy!

　The two colleges with the highest current credits clashed in the very first round, instantly escalating the atmosphere.

　The atmosphere between the students of the Noble Academy and the Magic Academy was tense, as if lightning was flashing between them.

　The cheerleaders on both sides suddenly raised their flags high and cheered with high morale, launching a battle off the field.

　The contestants from the two colleges also took to the stage one after another.

Chapter 447 Darkdemon and the Two Beauties of the Magic Academy (56/233)

　贵族院和魔导院的参赛选手，仅是站在那里便展现出了完全不一样的气质。104;116;116;112;58;47;47;119;119;119;46;50;99;121;120;115;119;46;99;111;109;47;

　Although their inner qualities are unfathomable, the contestants from the Noble Academy exude luxury from their outward appearance.

　The contestants from the Magic Academy all exuded an intellectual aura, much like scholars.

　In fact, everyone on stage was a prodigy; even Pandora Drogon standing among them couldn't be described as exceptionally outstanding.

　group.

　Their appearance was met with thunderous cheers from the audience.

　Clearly, each of them has a large following.

　Dark felt the atmosphere was several times more frenzied than the Easter Duel Festival, and couldn't help but squint slightly.

　Watching a game and playing yourself are two completely different experiences.

　He was originally someone who preferred to watch the fights. But only after experiencing the thrill of dueling did he become more willing to participate.

　Unfortunately, this was not the right occasion for him.

　If he can still be the top student in his second year by this time next year, then representing the Academy in the Academy Cup should not be a problem.

　As for now, he is happy to learn from watching the battles and prepare for future duels.

　In an incredibly frenzied atmosphere, the first round of duels officially began.

　First up were the second-year students from both colleges. Then came the third-year, fourth-year, and so on, all the way up to the sixth-year students.

　Dark gradually focused on watching the game, trying to enrich his battle strategies and ideas on deck building.

　The matches between second-year students didn't bring him many surprises. But starting from the third year, his horizons were broadened!

　Winnie Skadi, a third-year student at the Magic Academy, displays an extremely imposing level of power when she gets serious.

　Dark had previously dueled with Tom Nixon, who had eliminated her, at the Easter Duel Festival, and ultimately won.

　But sitting in the audience watching the battle, he had only one feeling—it seemed that even with his current deck lineup, he would be crushed by the storm if he were to duel with the descendant of the Winter Sage!

　That already very powerful third-year student from the aristocratic academy was no match for Winnie Skadi.

　Winnie Skadi's strength completely surpasses the level expected of a third-year student.

　"After the first six rounds, we should see her take on challenges in higher-level classes, right?"

　Dak couldn't help but think to himself.

　The third and fourth-year students of this year's Magic Academy are all beings who transcend class.

　It would be extremely difficult for the House of Lords to win in such an environment.

　With Winnie Skadi's undisputed victory, the final showdown between the fourth-year students finally arrived.

　Pandora Drogon's appearance once again caused a frenzy.

　Dark waved to Pandora, who was looking over from the contestants' platform, and then witnessed the miserable scene of Pandora beating up a fourth-year student from the Noble Academy.

　"This year's Magic Academy is just too strong!"

　Dark observed the duel closely and discovered that Pandora did not use "Fusion" in this duel, and it was unclear whether she was unable to complete it or simply chose not to use it.

　In short, Pandora's victory was as expected.

　After these two consecutive defeats, the morale of the House of Nobles further declined.

　However, neither side's players were affected.

　In the fifth-grade duel, the contestant from the Noble Academy finally defeated the contestant from the Magic Academy, tying the score.

　In the final, decisive sixth-year duel, the sixth-year students from the Noble Academy and the Magic Academy engaged in an incredibly fierce and arduous battle.

　The two sides are evenly matched, with countless ways to clear the field, and a series of special moves and chains that are dazzling.

　It wasn't until after more than ten rounds that this evenly matched and arduous battle finally came to an end.

　The sixth-year student from the Noble Academy, Qi Sheng, won this round of the competition by a single move!

　The victory, achieved under such difficult circumstances, instantly sent the supporters of the Noble Academy into a frenzy. However, the supporters of the Magic Academy remained undeterred, encouraging the Magic Academy players with thunderous cheers.

　One round's outcome doesn't determine anything.

　The outcome of the next match remains important.

　After the first round ended, Judy summoned the symbols of the four houses again and moved the pointers to designate the House of Fools and the House of Knights.

　This was also a unique duel that was incredibly exciting to watch.

　In the end, the Fools' House surprisingly defeated the Knights' House 3-2 as a dark horse!

　In the general public's perception, the House of Fools is not an inconspicuous house.

　It is undoubtedly a disgrace that the prestigious Knights' Academy was defeated by the Fools' Academy on the spot!
