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

　He commanded Ditto to transform into Blue Feather Serpent, which would be enough to protect his Magic Orb.

　Then, in this third round of card drawing, the winner will be determined.

　Cursed Cage: Impmon

　War Horn

　as predicted.

　While Heidi was still focused on commanding the two blue-feathered flying snakes, Dark had already summoned Cursed Cage: Impmon.

　"Jie Jie Jie!"

　Devimon let out a cold laugh, and its towering body vanished completely as it turned around.

　When it reappeared, it had instantly moved to directly above the transparent blue-feathered flying serpent.

　Then, without waiting for anything else, he immediately summoned Pride 3.

　The long-absent Devimon unfurled its jet-black demon wings amidst a pillar of dark golden light!

　A ferocious roar echoed across the arena, and a thick aura of darkness permeated the air.

　"Azure Feather Flying Serpent!"

　Heidi clenched her teeth instantly.

　The real Azure Feathered Flying Serpent suddenly turned around and opened its mouth to bite the Demon Beast.

　Then, a huge, sharp claw of death shot out.

　Ultimate move – Death Claw!

　The transparent blue-feathered flying serpent's body was pierced by the claw of death in an instant. Its body struggled slightly, but then disintegrated on the spot!

　The blue-feathered flying serpent turned into light amidst its miserable howls.

　The speed at which all of this is developing is astonishing.

　The demon beast neither dodged nor evaded, but simply raised its left arm to block the Azure Feather Flying Serpent's bite.

　Then he raised his right arm high and slammed it out!

　As the claw struck out, numerous death claws materialized in front of the Demon Beast, each tearing off a piece of the Azure Feathered Serpent's body.

　The blue team player is on the stage.

　After both blue-feathered flying snakes were described, Heidi loosened her clenched teeth.

　The four-star Devimon instantly killed two five-star Azure Feathered Serpents in a very short time!

　At that very moment, Ditto, in its transformed form, had just raised its feathers, preparing to unleash a barrage of arrows.

　However, these multiple arrows are still somewhat effective when facing the life barrier of the blue team's magic orb.

　The relatively long duel finally ended when the blue ball was blasted apart by Ditto's Multi-Arrow.

　40000

　That's how people are; they only give their all when they can glimpse hope.

　Efforts without a clear goal will only erode a person's willpower.

　After realizing that she could no longer perform well, Heidi chose to give up.

　After recalling all the magical spirits, Dark turned and left the stage without saying a word to Heidi.

　We're not actually that familiar with each other.

　Whatever the victor says is easily perceived as arrogant.

　"Beep——"

　The referee blows the whistle and announces the winner.

　The applause continued to thunder, and the atmosphere on stage remained unchanged.

　Dak felt a little bored.

　But that's just how magical duels are.

　Considering that there might be more opportunities to meet in the future, Dak chose to remain silent.

　After Dak stepped off the platform, Heidi gradually recovered and turned to walk off the platform as well.

　The two teams walked through the players' tunnel one after the other, entered the circular area, and then split into two routes, taking their seats in different audience seats.

　But Dark is clearly not.

　He had already passed the stage of striving for victory by the time he was in first grade.

　They had already entered the stage of seeking defeat.

　Once the skill gap becomes extremely large, the random factors within the rules can no longer change the final result.

　A duel that is destined to be won will naturally make people lose their passion.

　Even if some duelists are immersed in that overwhelming feeling.

　Dak patted his cheeks, trying to maintain his composure.

　"Here, eat some candy."

　Diana leaned over and unexpectedly stuffed a candy into his mouth.

　What he needs is the exhilaration of giving his all, not the ruthless crushing of noobs.

　"Two more games."

　"It will be over after two games."

　Time flowed by like water.

　When people came to their senses, it was already 2 p.m.

　Darko once again stepped onto the contestant's platform.

　Dak chewed a couple of times, and the milky flavor warmed his heart.

　Under the blue sky, young men and women poured out their sweat on the dueling stage.

　However, Steven's personality and temperament did not seem to be particularly sociable, so he did not build up his own following like Saraswati.

　He didn't become the second-year class leader of the Magic Academy, mostly because of his personality.

　Dak raised his head and observed for a moment.

　In the ninth match of the Silver Cup points tournament, his opponent was Ignazcomm, a second-year student at the Magic Academy, just like Heidi Euphemia.

　The Magic Academy has always been a breeding ground for talented individuals. Although Dark doesn't pay much attention to Stevencom, he seems to be the second best student in the Magic Academy after Saraswati.

　If Sarah is the number one among the girls in the Magic Academy, then Stevencom is the number one among the boys.

　But Stevencom, who was usually taciturn, spoke up for once: "Darkdemon, you are strong."

　Dark frowned and looked up at him again.

　Steven Com adjusted his glasses and said seriously, "But you should know that if someone is too dazzling, they will expose themselves to too much scrutiny. As far as I know, many third- and fourth-year students are already studying you. Of course, I've been studying you for a long time too."

　Steven had neatly combed short brown hair, thin eyebrows, a high nose, thin lips, a square face, and a not particularly friendly expression.

　But the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose at least added a touch of student-like charm to his appearance.

　Dark thought for a moment, confirming that he hadn't really spoken to the other person, then prepared to put the deck into the slots and proceed directly to the duel—

　Steven Com:

　"Beep——"

　The whistle blew at just the right time.

　Dark smiled slightly, raised his hand horizontally, and said, "It's an honor."

　Stevencom continued, "I'm speaking to you before the duel begins to warn you. If you underestimate me, you'll be in trouble."

　Dark paused slightly, then asked curiously, "Why do you feel like you're being looked down upon?"

　In magical duels, how can one not study their opponent?

　Being studied by others is not scary; what is scary is stagnation!

　In other words, as long as there is new progress every moment, there is no need to fear being studied.

　The words "Preparation Stage" appeared above the card table.

　Both players immediately placed their decks into the card slots, activating the automatic shuffling of the cards on the table.

　Dark did not ignore Stevencom's words, but what Stevencom said was exactly what he had expected.

　Abandon all distractions and focus solely on the duel.

　Both players drew their cards almost simultaneously, then looked at their hands and considered their strategy.

　Dark unfolds his hand.

　Preparation phase 30s

　Blissful March

　Gatomon

　Trash Slime

　融合

　Cursed Cage: Impmon

　Except for not having the conditions to sacrifice and summon Tailmon, all the prerequisites for fusion summoning are present.

　However, these five starting hands are not actually ideal.

　"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've fused and summoned Bastimon."

　Start by merging.

　Cursed Cage: Both Devimon and Gatomon are in my hands.

　Moreover, not all the necessary elements were gathered this time.

　Moreover, there weren't many strategies to consider with the five magic cards in his hand.

　After a moment's thought, he selected Cursed Cage: Devimon.

　Dark couldn't help but smile at the thought of fusing Devimon and Gatomon into one entity.

　However, Bastimon can no longer be considered his strongest trump card.

　Using too many spell cards to summon it is actually a relatively unprofitable strategy.

　The little devil with bat wings reappeared in the audience's view.

　The image of Devimon evolving into Devimon during the morning battle is likely still etched in the minds of the audience.

　But this time, its evolution direction is not Devimon!

　In the first round, the only way to ensure the strength of the Magical Pokémon on the field is to evolve Cursed Cage: Impmon into Cursed Cage: Gatomon.

　Without hesitation, he began chanting the moment the preparation phase switched to the battle phase.

　"In the name of Darkdemon, I summon the Cursed Cage, Impmon!"

　"Alright! Thunder Beast!"

　Blue team's summoning zone.

　Stevencom's summoned magical spirit, Thunder Beast, immediately raised its head.

　Just two seconds after Dark completed his summoning, Stevencom also completed his initial summoning.

　He looked at the little demon beast in the red team's summoning zone and couldn't help but smile.

　Card Name: Thunder Beast

　Type: Elf Card

　grade:

　The Thunder Beast looks exactly like an upright lizard with an umbrella on its head.
