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

　Angus Jeffrey was a regular at "Haunted by Dreams," and most of the noblemen and ladies who frequented the place knew him.

　Even without his father's status as a background, Jeffrey is an exceptionally talented individual.

　Not only was he a fourth-year student admitted to St. Mary's Academy, but he was also the president of a large club mainly composed of aristocratic children—all of which earned him high marks in the eyes of others.

　Therefore, seeing that it was Angus Jeffrey dueling, many people couldn't help but look curiously to the other side.

　Once you take one look, you can't take your eyes off it.

　Although it was Dark Dimon's first time here, he was among the nobles he had "dreamed of." Especially the older members, who wouldn't recognize his face?

　It's fair to say that Dak himself is a walking icon; his face, like his personality, is incredibly famous.

　"Isn't that Alvitt's son? What's he doing here?"

　"I heard he was also invited by St. Marian Academy, it's been almost a year, hasn't it?"

　"Fourth graders versus first graders? Is this a training match?"

　"I can't believe that the naughty child from back then has grown up so much. He even looks quite gentlemanly."

　"I heard he just turned thirteen last month, and the Greta Bayer family's darling daughter was also invited to their private dinner party..."

　"The apple of the Gretby family's eye, you wouldn't be talking about that one over there, would you?"

　"Over there, which one?"

　"I can't tell which one it is either..."

　"What's going on? How come there are two precious daughters in the Greta Bayer family?"

　……

　Before the onlookers' idle chatter went off on tangents, Dark finally finished replenishing his mana and then began to methodically build his deck.

　In a standard duel, both sides default to having a Magic Orb Life Barrier at level 4 with 8000 points, and the minimum number of cards in the deck is 40.

　Dark hasn't really built a deck since the Easter Duel Festival, but since I have the chance today, I'll just put together a random one.

　He first added all the Magical Spirit cards to his deck.

　"Excluding 'Vampire Heiress,' there are a total of sixteen Magical Spirit cards."

　1 (Fantasy Beast: Eevee)

　2 (Fantasy Beasts: Ditto)

　3 (Trash Slime)

　4 (Cursed Cage: Devimon)

　5 (Ball Ball Sea Lion)

　6 (Magic Secretary)

　7 (pot)

　8 (Hawkman)

　9 (Meow)

　10 (Dream Fairy)

　Tailmon

　[Big Milk Tank]

　Sylveon

　[Single Sword Sheath]

　Lion Beast

　The Primordial Dragon Egg

　"Then add the necessary major crime cards."

　1 (Pride 1)

　2 (Arrogance 2? Old)

　3 (Pride 2? New)

　4 (Greed 2)

　5 (Pride 3)

　6 (Paradise 3)

　7 (Greed 3)

　8 (Paradise 3 months)

　9. Improved "Paradise 3 Months"

　10. Improved "Paradise 3 Months"

　"Then add four more weapon cards."

　1 (Lucky Dice)

　2 (Soul of Luna 1)

　3 (Sour Plum Superman)

　4 (Lightbringer)

　"Then there are three magic cards."

　1 (Integration)

　2 (Flight Spell)

　3 (Zoo)

　"Finally, put in all the magic cards and item cards you can use, to make a total of forty cards."

　1 (Blink Charm)

　2 (Blink Charm)

　3 (Energy Potions)

　4 (Energy Potions)

　5 (Energy Potions)

　6 (Silence-quenching agent)

　7 (Developer powder)

　"With that, the deck construction is complete."

　Dark smiled slightly.

　Although this deck's construction doesn't involve much skill, it's at least more pleasing to the eye than any of my previous decks.

　Because there are almost no magic cards left to make up the numbers.

　Once he has crafted three more Magical Spirit Cards, he can replace the three "Energy Potions".

　In more important situations, you can also add "Vampire Heiress" to increase strength.

　Only then will he truly possess his first complete deck.

　Using this deck as a foundation, you can continue to develop other deck series.

　For example, the "Pride" deck, the "Ecstasy" deck, the "Armed" deck, and so on.

　Perhaps we can even develop entertaining decks centered around "Lucky Dice" and "Plum Superman"—

　After all, the core spirit of magical duels is to bring smiles.

　"I'm getting more and more excited for the next three Magical Spirit cards."

　"But for now, let's focus on duels and test the strength of this basic deck."

　Dark stacked the forty magic cards neatly and placed them in the card slots on the card table. Then he said to Angus Jeffrey, "Senior Jeffrey, I'm ready for now."

　“Alright.” Jeffrey took a deep breath.

　He astutely noticed that Dark's deck was much richer than it had been during the Easter Duel Festival.

　Furthermore, Dark's decision not to include the Vampire Heiress and Phoenix Girl, who should have been high-level magical fairies, in his deck also put him under pressure.

　Generally speaking, there is only one reason for this behavior.

　That means the existing decks don't need to add such high-level magical spirits; they are already powerful enough.

　"Jeffrey, can you do it?"

　Phyllis Raman keenly noticed Jeffrey's subtle change and casually asked a question.

　As the beloved daughter of Count Raman, who is also one of the thirty-two councilors, Phyllis, though not fond of standing out, holds a position in this small circle that is no less than Jeffrey's.

　Now that things have come to this, Jeffrey certainly can't say he's incapable.

　He nodded and said solemnly, "At St. Marian Academy, there is a threshold between the third and fourth year. My magical level is definitely above his, but his magical spirit is somewhat special."

　Phyllis exclaimed in surprise, "I thought you were sure to win. If you lose, won't you be crawling on your hands and knees? Come to think of it, what are you even after?"

　"I have no choice in the matter," Jeffrey sighed to himself.

　He also wondered, what was he after?

　But not everyone can act as recklessly and without restraint as Darko Dimon.

　Standing at an in-between height, one is always at risk of being pushed down.

　If you don't climb higher, others will surpass you.

　After several unsuccessful attempts to target Dark, he had learned his lesson.

　This did not deter him from treating it as a potential enemy, but he could have been more cautious and discreet.

　Unfortunately, when he hid his weapons in the forest, he was forced to draw his gun himself.

　Regardless of the outcome of this duel, it would be more detrimental than beneficial to him.

　Unless this can win the eldest prince's trust, the benefits gained will outweigh the drawbacks.

　In other words, he is now standing on the edge of a precipice where he can only win and cannot afford to lose.

　"let's start!"

　Jeffrey puts the deck into the slot and goes all out!

　……

　Then activate the card table and shuffle the cards automatically.

　There was no referee or commentator for this duel, but all a magic duel needs is a card table.

　As the magical projection appeared in the air, the duel officially entered the "preparation phase".

　Once the shuffle is complete, a 30-second countdown appears on the right side of the "Preparation Phase"!

　The atmosphere at the scene became tense as the countdown began, and the onlookers lowered their voices in response.

　Prince Charles stared intently at the arena, longing to see Tailmon or Leomon once again wielding the Holy Sword.

　As for the sudden flash of inspiration earlier—to elevate Dark Dimon to the status of a hero!

　After taking the special hangover cure, Charles immediately sobered up and quickly suppressed his thoughts.
