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

　But after pondering for a while, Dak did not go over to look.

　He prefers to buy high-quality clothing from ready-made stores rather than costume cards, preferably costumes that can be worn outside of Halloween.

　But his research on the costume cards did indeed begin with that one.

　Thinking about it carefully, with his current skill level, he is perfectly capable of making his own costume cards, but it's just too troublesome and unnecessary.

　Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly spotted his senior, Leon, hawking his wares on the street.

　In other words, once you remove the unnecessary decorations, you have a set of clothes that you can wear every day.

　Compared to that Prince of the Night outfit that you can't even wear out, this is clearly a better choice.

　"A black suit, a black top hat, and a cane—that's all it takes to be a dignified old vampire."

　"Speaking of which, why don't we dress up as vampires?"

　Suddenly, Dak had a thought and some ideas came to him.

　Vampire costumes come in all shapes and sizes, but most are actually aristocratic attire with a pair of wings. Then they paint their faces white, apply scarlet eyeshadow, and put on blood-red fang covers.

　It took a long time before Dak finally managed to pull them out of the sea of ​​costume cards.

　Meanwhile, Diana and Rose had already formed their own ideas.

　After observing so many costume cards, you're bound to get some inspiration.

　Dak stroked his chin, wondering if he should create some wrinkles later on.

　Then he saw that Diana and Rose were already submerged in all sorts of costume cards!

　Dark smiled and said.

　"However, you should prepare levitation spells and inferior invisibility potions."

　Dark felt that Diana was more suitable to play the fairy, while Rose was more in line with the image of Princess Mononoke.

　Rose has decided to play the role of an energetic little fairy.

　Diana, on the other hand, is very interested in playing ghosts.

　"Then let's have Miss Fairy and Princess Mononoke."

　There are clothing stores in Traveler's Street that specialize in custom-made props such as wings and fangs.

　The three of them strolled around and eventually chose a shop to enter, where they ordered the necessary props and had them measured. They planned to pick them up next Saturday.

　But Halloween costume parties aren't so serious; you can do whatever makes you happy.

　"And what about you?" Diana asked, looking up at her.

　Dark said, "The old vampire gentleman, I suppose."

　The cane is of good quality; it might even be useful for warding off evil spirits during events.

　Diana, on the other hand, bought a flawless white princess dress, devoid of any color other than white, which complemented her silver-white hair. If she were to suddenly appear in the dead of night, she might truly give people a fright.

　Then came Rose, who chose a casual outfit similar to Professor Lily's.

　After that, they turned to other types of clothing stores and started buying clothes for the occasion.

　When they left the traveler's street, they had each chosen an outfit.

　Dak successfully purchased a complete black outfit, including a hat, and carefully selected a cane.

　Diana began, "The vampire prince and the ghost princess."

　Rose shook her head: "Even when you wore matching outfits last year, it didn't work, let alone a pair like this that are completely unrelated."

　Diana pouted and said, "Then what should we do?"

　Upon returning to the tower of the House of Nobles, the three parted ways on the third floor.

　Diana and Rose playfully entered the same room, then suddenly closed the door and fell silent.

　"So? Any plans for this year?" Rose asked.

　Back in dormitory 301, Dakdimon put down his clothes and immediately resumed his studies and research.

　At this time last year, students were already worrying about finding a "dance partner" for Halloween, and this year is no exception.

　However, compared to last year, the atmosphere for romance is indeed a bit weaker this year.

　Rose said, "If you ask me, this year there are no princesses in the way. As long as we invite them first, we'll definitely win them over."

　Diana couldn't help but think of last year's Halloween, and frowned again.

　Speaking of "simulated duels," the "All-People Duel Club" in Traveler's Street has already posted notices about Halloween-themed events, saying that new Halloween-themed cards will be released during Halloween, which has aroused the interest of many students.

　Dac was not involved in the design this time, but he was also curious.

　This year, Halloween Eve falls on Thursday night, and Friday is Halloween. The following Saturday and Sunday are holidays.

　Once students reach the second grade, they become significantly more focused on their academic performance and have less time to think about things other than studying.

　Moreover, there was no trend of "love fortune telling" this year.

　Instead, it's now called "simulated duel".

　Nothing happened that night, and Sunday arrived in the blink of an eye.

　Dark arrived at the open-air duel arena at around 10 o'clock and went straight into the contestant tunnel.

　In addition, the opening ceremony of the Golden Cup will be held on Halloween, November 1st!

　Halloween-themed cards for "Simulated Duel," along with new posters and sales details, will be announced at the Gold Cup opening ceremony.

　Dac has high hopes for this.

　As of today, he has fought nine duels and won all nine, ranking first on the Silver Cup leaderboard for second-year students.

　But this is also largely due to the large number of duels he has been involved in so far.

　In a little over a month, someone might surpass him by having played more matches.

　Diana and Rose didn't have any matches today, so they didn't come to the duel arena to watch.

　In fact, they entered the dungeon together early in the morning, ready for a spontaneous adventure.

　Meanwhile, Dark faced his final duel in the Silver Cup qualifying rounds!

　With some time to spare before the duel began, he observed other duels in the waiting room and organized his cards. Only after receiving a reminder from the Duel Club did he leave the waiting room and enter the duel arena.

　When he arrived, his opponent for the day was already waiting at the dueling grounds.

　That was Justin Wayne, the prefect of the second-year Knight Academy, a boy with exceptional emotional and intellectual intelligence!

　He didn't seem to care about it.

　"After today's lesson, Professor Jones's assignment will be complete."

　With that thought in mind, Dark arrived at the players' waiting room.

　“Okay.” Justin Wayne couldn’t help but smile.

　The two then let go of each other's hands and walked back to back to their respective contestant stands.

　Dark was assigned to the blue team this time, while Justin Wayne was on the red team.

　As the most popular person in the second-year Knights College, Justin Wayne can be described as a typical sunny boy with a high level of popularity.

　He shook hands with Darke very politely, then nodded and said, "Although I know the chances are slim, I will try my best to seize that slim chance of victory."

　Darke replied politely, "Anything is possible in the dueling arena. I hope we can have a pleasant duel."

　Justin Wayne, both in appearance and temperament, is the kind of person who naturally gains popularity.

　Dak and he didn't have much interaction, but over the course of a year, he got to know him somewhat.

　He had always felt that Justin Wayne might be a better fit for the Holy Mystic Academy.

　As soon as the two stepped onto the platform, shouts of defiance immediately erupted from the audience in the circular area.

　Without a doubt, they were bored students from the Knights' Academy and the Noble Academy.

　Dark ignored the noise and, after putting his deck into the slot, began observing Justin Wayne on the opposing team from the player's platform.

　He smiled slightly at Justin Wayne, who was also looking over, and then focused intently on his preparations.

　Justin Wayne uses a very standard Paladin deck.

　Besides having a lot of Light-attribute Magical Spirits, the biggest characteristic of the Paladin series decks is that they have no particular characteristics—that is, they are good at everything.

　He will surely become an outstanding paladin at the Holy Mystic Academy.

　"Beep——"

　The referee's whistle interrupted Dark's train of thought.

　However, compared to some other second-year students, his deck is indeed quite comprehensive.

　Dak did not underestimate it.

　"Tick!"

　If you're meticulous in every aspect, but your average level isn't high, then you're not going to succeed.

　Of course, if you have the best average level, then you're "all-rounder"!

　Justin Wayne is only a sophomore, so of course he can't be called an "all-rounder".

　After stepping onto the contestant's platform, the two did not exchange any words.

　The atmosphere was slightly heavy, giving the impression of giving it their all.

　"One, two, three, four, five."

　After both players' decks were shuffled, a 30-second countdown appeared after the "Ready Phase" message.

　The duel begins!

　Gatomon

　The original dragon egg

　Pride 4

　Dark quickly drew a card and fanned it out in his left hand.

　The five magic cards in the starting hand of the final duel in the Silver Cup points tournament immediately came into view.

　The very first Magic Card I drew was Gatomon, the Cat of Victory!

　However, it's not that he didn't have a sacrifice in his possession that could summon Gatomon.

　"Justin Wayne's starting move will most likely be a three-star Magical Spirit. He will use the Netherworld Soul Ring to capture it, and then combine it with a one-star Magical Beast: Eevee to make a total of four-star offerings."

　Underworld Soul Ring

　Monster Eevee

　Justin Wayne's deck is strong, but his style is different from Saraswati's.

　"However, with the cards I have right now, this is not the best option."

　Dark's gaze fell on the original dragon egg.

　Without hesitation, he picked out the magic card.

　Finally, I'd like to recommend a new book about collecting various fairytale girls in another world. The author is not Ta-chan.

　A lot of bad things happened yesterday, and I didn't sleep well at all. I'm extremely tired. I'll take a nap until the afternoon, then I have to go out to run errands. I'll write when I get back tonight.

　October is less than halfway over, and I have no monthly votes, no thorns (meaning no violence), and not enough words to update. I'm desperate. I hope nothing bad happens in the coming days.
