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

　Is Doron interested in Heidi?

　……

　Of course, as a friend, Dark wouldn't say much.

　……

　The seventh game ended in victory for Justin Wayne.

　While Heidi Euphemia's performance was already outstanding, Justin Wayne's progress was even more remarkable and impressive.

　The competition continued until the tenth match.

　After the interview with the winner of the tenth duel, Judy announced a one-hour break.

　The college band then took to the stage.

　During this period, dueling venues around the world will serve food to the audience.

　Audiences can choose to dine in the cafeteria of the Duel Arena while listening to elegant music.

　You can also use the ticket to go out for food and drinks.

　An hour later, it was time for the evening session.

　The first game of the evening session, which is today's eleventh game.

　The duel will be between Dark Demon, who was the first to appear today and performed exceptionally well, and Teddy Dorron of the Dorron family.

　……

　Within the college, students naturally also seize the time to address their physiological needs.

　An hour is enough time for everyone to line up for a meal in the cafeteria.

　Dark summoned Doron and Pistan, and together they walked out of the open-air dueling arena with the crowd.

　By this time, the sky had darkened slightly, with only half of the sun visible, and fiery clouds could be seen on the horizon.

　By the time we return after dinner, the moon will likely be high in the sky above the willow branches.

　This was Dark's first duel at night, making it quite special.

　However, Doron, who was next to him, seemed a little nervous.

　After ordering their food, the three of them found a table for four and sat down.

　Dak sat opposite Doron.

　While eating, Duolong suddenly picked up a meatball from his plate and placed it on Dak's plate, then stared at him expectantly.

　Dak glanced at the fragrant meatball, then looked up and met Doron's gaze.

　The two remained silent, staring at each other for half a minute.

　Doron was completely defeated.

　Pistan, meanwhile, was secretly laughing to himself.

　Dak shrugged and continued eating.

　In short, it is impossible to release water.

　Even Doron himself couldn't say it.

　Of course, Dak wouldn't say that.

　If they really let him off the hook then, or even smash him to pieces... wouldn't that be embarrassing?

　……

　After meal.

　Dark and his two companions then followed the flow of people back to the open-air duel arena.

　There were no lights inside the dueling arena.

　But throughout the venue, there were huge orbs of light floating in mid-air.

　The light emitted by those orbs was just right, enough to illuminate the road without turning the night into day.

　On the dueling platform in the very center of the arena, eight orbs of light gathered together, illuminating the entire dueling area.

　Just like a concert stage, it is always the focal point of the light.

　As the students and professors in the circular area gradually returned, the audience seats outside the venue also gradually filled up.

　After having a quick bite to eat with the two viscountesses, Arvit quickly returned to her seat.

　Then she noticed that the eldest prince next door, Charles, seemed to have not moved at all.

　She thought for a moment, then called over a nearby waiter and asked him to prepare a convenient dinner to be delivered to her.

　The servant dared not delay and hurriedly went to prepare.

　Before long, a dinner that seemed to have been cooked with magic was placed in front of the eldest prince.

　The staff at the Wangdu Duel branch even brought over a food cart to serve as a table.

　The eldest prince frowned as he looked at the dinner in front of him, intending to reprimand the servants. But upon learning that it was a gift from the Duchess, he couldn't help but glance over there.

　When Ayrvit saw him looking over, she nodded at him with a friendly expression.

　The eldest prince's lips twitched, and he quickly forced a perfect aristocratic smile before taking his knife and fork and sitting down to eat.

　Despite the intense attention, the eldest prince remained elegant and composed, showing no sign of reluctance.

　He dare not.

　……

　Even if it were malicious intent, let alone obvious good intentions from Alvitt, he would have to hold his nose and eat it.

　Otherwise, the news of the discord between the eldest prince and the Valkyrie would spread like wildfire.

　It might spread throughout the entire capital by tomorrow morning.

　Although the Valkyrie is clearly on the side of the eldest princess, she has not actually broken ties with the eldest prince.

　The eldest prince could not bear the consequences of breaking ties with the Valkyrie.

　……

　What happened in the audience was just a minor incident.

　It was simply an elder expressing their care and concern for the younger generation.

　The younger generation simply accepted it gladly.

　With most of the spectators having arrived, the "Silver Cup" finally entered its evening session.

　Darko and Doron also received reminders about preparing for their next match.

　There were quite a few people with them.

　Duck even found Robert among them.

　The evening sessions last about two hours, starting from the eleventh session and continuing until the twentieth session or so, at which point they end.

　Instead of going to the athletes' waiting room, Dark went directly to the athletes' tunnel and waited at the entrance.

　Duolong followed behind him, no longer feeling the tension he had felt at dinner.

　After all, he is a member of a large family, and Duolong's mental adjustment ability has been honed over a long period of time and is already quite good.

　Not only did he stop being nervous, but his fighting spirit also gradually ignited.

　Throughout the second year, almost every ambitious student aspired to be like Darko Dimon.

　Although Dorron has a good relationship with Dark, he subconsciously regards him as a target to catch up with and surpass!

　Tonight, he's going to take another step toward that goal!

　……

　On the high platform.

　Under the spotlight.

　After a brief opening statement, host Judy quickly moved on to the introduction of the evening's duel.

　The academy will display the names of the players in the next match on a screen.

　Therefore, the audience knew early on who the two contestants would be performing in the first show of the evening session.

　Therefore, Judy only gave a quick brief introduction before announcing the entry of the two contestants.

　Upon hearing this, Dark and Dorron emerged from the passage and quickly arrived at the dueling arena.

　"Snapped!"

　The two clapped hands at each other in the middle, then walked back to back to each other in opposite directions.

　In this duel, Dark is on the red side, while Doron is on the blue side.

　After the two stepped onto the platform, they looked towards the audience almost simultaneously.

　Dark waved to Arvit again, and this time, more audience members responded.

　He smiled slightly, and after seeing Arvit's response, he turned back to look at Doron.

　Doron was clearly looking for someone in the audience, but his parents seemed to have chosen a less conspicuous spot and failed to give their child courage and support at this crucial moment.

　"get ready."

　It wasn't until Dak reminded him that Doron came to his senses and quickly composed himself.

　Darke had already activated the table and placed a deck of twenty cards into the card slots.

　……

　Today was my second time on the podium, and Darko didn't feel much of a sensation.

　After he focused his attention on the duel, he quickly calmed down and temporarily put aside matters unrelated to the duel.

　Duolong has undoubtedly made great progress, but if he is not careful, there is a possibility that he might accidentally make a mistake.

　But just as Dark was fully prepared, Doron suddenly said, "Dark, perhaps you don't remember. But when I lost to you for the first time in Duel Class, I swore in my heart that I would win back you one day. Today, standing on the dueling stage again, I have only one goal: victory!"

　Dark couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course I remember. You went to the restroom then, didn't you?"

　Duolong: "..."

　Who told you to remember it so clearly!

　Dark said with relief, "Failure is never scary; what's scary is not having the courage to overcome failure. I will always wait for you."

　After he finished speaking, he placed his hand on top of the deck.

　Quietly waiting for the referee's whistle.

　"Beep——"

　The moment the referee blows the whistle.

　On the poker table, a 30-second countdown appeared behind the "setup phase".

　The duel officially begins!

　Both players draw cards at the same time!

　……
