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

　The life barrier, with only 4000 magic points, couldn't withstand two basic attacks from the Apple Dragon.

　Under its interference, the Apple Dragon quickly caught up with the Blue Team's Magic Ball!

　40000

　Darkdemon, who used all his strength to hunt a rabbit, had even summoned Meow Meow.

　The gray cat stood guard in front of the magic ball, arms crossed, squinting at the energetic Apple Dragon. Suddenly, it had an artistic impulse to carve an Apple Dragon out of an apple.

　Meanwhile, Dark had already extended his finger and shot out a magic thread, interfering with the blue team's manipulation of the magic ball.

　But it was definitely not his fault; it was just that the little dragon, the size of an apple, was really too much!

　"Hey, Pistan, where's your secret weapon?"

　The voice from the other side calmed Pistan down, and he immediately retorted, "Bad luck, I'll try again next time!"

　“(〃>皿<) Damn it!”

　Pistan, who ultimately couldn't last even one round, slammed his fist on the table in anger.

　He ultimately failed to make the gambling party "pay back".

　"The battle is over."

　"The victor: Darkdemon!"

　Dark smiled and said, "You can't possibly draw all the magic cards you want during the preparation stage, can you? I look forward to seeing your secret weapon next time."

　“Okay, definitely.” Pistan chuckled dryly.

　You laughed, and I laughed; the duel brought smiles to both of us.

　He already had a clue how to make the clown mask.

　With a little more research and consulting books, I can begin to study the formula for the softener and write the magical language for refining the clown mask.

　With the referee's loud announcement, the duel finally came to an end.

　After Dark retrieved the outstanding Apple Dragon back into his magic card, he stepped down from the stage and returned to Diana and Rose's side.

　But he didn't stay on the circular track for long before grabbing his bag and heading to the library.

　Among the four academies in the second year, the students of the Magic Academy have a higher ability to learn independently. Some of them, though low-key, have all mastered magic cards that should not be underestimated.

　Dark's opponent that morning was Heidi Euphemia, the second-year headmistress of the Magic Academy!

　Heidi, Saraswati's sidekick, is no stranger to Dak.

　Saturday morning at nine o'clock.

　Dark arrived at the open-air duel arena early in the morning.

　Today's two duels are scheduled for one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with both opponents being students from the Magic Academy.

　—At least on the surface, he has the air of a class leader who can stand on his own.

　Saraswati, watching from the circular platform, nodded in satisfaction, quite confident in her skills.

　Meanwhile, Doron, who was sitting on the other side, was slightly stunned when Pistan gave him a hard nudge to the back.

　But Dark and she never fought each other.

　This Silver Cup duel can be considered the first time for both sides.

　Heidi's expression was very serious. She untied her two thick, long black braids that always hung down in front of her chest and combed them into a standard Hime cut, which greatly changed her overall demeanor.

　Dark briefly greeted Heidi before focusing his attention on the duel.

　In order to counter Heidi, he readjusted his deck last night, reducing the number of cards in the deck again.

　Heidi's past performances have been almost a microcosm of Sara's.

　"Ouch!"

　Amid his cries of pain, both players had already placed their decks into their slots.

　The projection of the preparation stage was displayed in the empty space.

　Both players simultaneously drew five magic cards from the top of their decks.

　If we don't take it seriously, even he might make a mistake.

　"Beep——"

　Preparation phase 30s

　23/127

　Good morning! I'm begging for your guaranteed monthly votes and your guaranteed razor blades!

Chapter 622 Mountains Reclaimed, Bees and Snakes Lose Their Light (4k)

　Dark and Heidi didn't have much interaction, and this duel was just a normal response.

　He rubbed his fingers together and unfolded his five cards.

　Magical Beasts: Ditto

　Little Capbie

　Elysium 3

　Pride 3

　Gatomon

　"Start with Ditto and Munchlax?"

　After seeing his hand, Dark smiled slightly and immediately prepared to summon Snorlax.

　Even though Munchlax isn't that reliable, even if it collapses on the spot, it can still raise its defense from 1000 to 2500 points by relying on three layers of charge.

　This was enough to make it an insurmountable fortress in the first round.

　In the second round, it will naturally be unnecessary.

　But now that his opponent is Heidi Euphemia, he needs to think more carefully.

　Once both magical spirits are sacrificed, he will have no more cards in his hand. If the Tailmon summoned by the sacrifice is then restricted by Heidi's special abilities, the red player's magic orb will be completely exposed to danger.

　However, there is another route in this duel: after summoning Snorlax, one can Normal Summon Ditto and use these two magical Pokémon as sacrifices to summon Gatomon.

　If his opponent were any other student, he might actually have done it.

　"I wonder what tricks she might have up her sleeve?"

　Dak couldn't help but think of it.

　Therefore, after he usually summons a Snorlax, he needs to wait and see.

　Different situations require different tactics; stubbornness and recklessness are not advisable.

　It was as if a drop of water had fallen into my heart, and ripples spread outwards.

　Preparation phase and battle phase

　"Tick!"

　"In the name of Darkdemon, I summon—Snorlax!"

　Just three seconds later, the summoning light emitted from the magic card illuminated the red team's summoning zone.

　The 30-second countdown for the first round has begun!

　Dark instantly focused his mind and began to quickly cast a normal summoning spell.

　"Protect the magic ball."

　Dark gave the command before Snorlax lay down to sleep.

　A small Snorlax with dark blue long fur and triangular ears materialized in the light.

　Then it scratched its belly and, between the two options of attack and defense, decisively chose defense!

　With these two magical spirits around, the first round will be much easier to get through.

　Before Dark began his second summon, Heidi finally completed her initial summon.

　Then he began preparing to summon the magical beast: Ditto.

　He still has two Sin 3 cards in his hand, either of which can upgrade Ditto to four stars, thus transforming it into a first or second tier magical spirit.

　Card Name: White Blade Spider

　Her gaze was sharp; she instantly drew out the magic card and shouted, "Magic Summoning!"

　The next moment, a white light shone in the blue team's summoning area, and a snow-white spider, wielding its long, sword-like legs, suddenly raised its head.

　Race: Insect

　Type: Bug

　Type: Elf Card

　grade:

　Defense: 500

　Ultimate moves: Steel-bladed spider web, sticky silk spit

　Mana: 1000

　Attack: 1400

　Despite being an insect-type magical spirit, the White-Blade Spider possesses a remarkably beautiful visual appeal.

　"White-bladed spider, spread your web!"

　Spiders are not strictly speaking insects, but in this world they are classified as insects.

　The spider silk was as sharp as a steel blade, and some of the silk even had extremely thin serrations.

　Anyone who sets foot on it will inevitably suffer harm.

　Once summoned, it immediately obeyed Heidi's command, raising its two front paws and slamming them hard on the ground.

　In that instant, white spider silk rapidly spread from beneath it forward, instantly forming a huge spider web that covered the entire blue team's half of the territory.

　Heidi kept a close eye on Dark's actions, and breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that Dark had not chosen to launch a direct attack.

　This is actually quite unusual in Dark's duels.

　However, the White-Blade Spider can glide nimbly at extremely high speeds when it steps on the web.

　Therefore, although the White-Blade Spider's stats are not high, it is still quite useful as part of positional warfare.

　Heidi thought for a moment and then saw Dark summon a second magical spirit—a familiar magical beast: Ditto!

　Most of the magical spirits in Darkdemon are very distinctive and unforgettable after watching them.

　If Dark chooses to launch a direct attack, she will have no choice but to order the White Blade Spider to use its other ultimate move, Sticky Silk Spear, to restrict Dark's magical spirit.

　"It's possible that they didn't draw a powerful offensive magic spirit."

　However, its weakness is also very obvious: its magic power is not high.

　This means that in a head-on confrontation, the side that is copied has the advantage.

　Heidi conducted in-depth research on him and knew his magical spirits like the back of her hand.

　This magical beast, Ditto, can transform into other magical spirits, making it very troublesome.

　In the blue team's summoning area, a giant bee materialized!

　So there's no need to be too nervous.

　She drew her second magic card and quickly summoned it.
