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

　It's not far from Vivian.

　This masquerade ball might help her take another step forward.

　Vivian Alvind is a witch, but she clearly has no interest in divination.

　Although reluctant to admit it, after repeatedly experiencing setbacks in math classes, he had long realized that his mental capacity was limited.

　Instead of trying to solve puzzles that may take forever, it's better to just hunt monsters.

　The orc prince Spycraon is also rapidly accumulating monster credits.

　Spike abandoned the idea of ​​capturing resource points from the beginning, much like Joey and Jon.

　His identity is that of a monster.

　However, he has difficulty finding leader-level monsters in the first three levels.

　Although Victoria and Phoenix are both magical spirits.

　However, Victoria is a seven-star vampire heiress, while Phoenix, when transformed into her Phoenix form, is only a two-star vampire.

　Victoria and Phoenix had made an agreement beforehand.

　After the two magical spirits parted ways with their classmates from their respective academies, they met at the agreed-upon location.

　The magical elves on the first and second floors posed no challenge to them at all.

　With the two of them working together, hunting on the third floor was no problem.

　However, Phoenix Girl, relying on the ultimate skill of the immortal flame, possesses an inexhaustible supply of magic power, giving her more energy than Victoria when commanding magical spirits in battle.

　Shortly after the two girls met, they went straight up to the third floor of the castle.

　Phoenix's identity is that of the phoenix.

　The problem is that many second-year students also chose the third floor.

　Victoria is a vampire.

　Among the second-year students, Darkdemon is undoubtedly the strongest.

　The competition among this year's first-year students is probably more intense than in previous years.

　There are far too many students who have the ability to compete for the title of Crimson Star.

　Half an hour into the game.

　The competition on the second-grade leaderboard was fierce, with several prominent names constantly changing at the top, making the students who paid attention to the list twitch with excitement.

　However, the newly added resource point rules have given other students a chance to compete for first place in the grade.

　Both Emma and Sarah are determined to sprint towards first place.

　But that's obviously impossible.

　Half an hour later, on the fourth floor of the castle, when Dark finally found the sixth resource point, he encountered an opponent.

　Within half an hour, Dark had captured five resource points.

　If things continue at this pace, he could conquer twenty resource points in just two hours.

　But his vampire attire was very conspicuous, and the other party recognized him at a glance.

　"Darkimon, a second-year student?"

　That was a student dressed as a werewolf—no, it should be a dog-headed human suit.

　Originally, because his face was completely covered by the suit, Dark was unable to identify the other party.

　"Haha."

　The kobold senior chuckled dryly, then suddenly took out his sorting card and showed it to Dark.

　The senior student, dressed in a dog-headed human skin suit, deliberately adopted a hoarse voice.

　Dark frowned slightly, but still politely asked, "May I ask which senior you are?"

　Dark tapped the magic card in his hand, but did not show his sorting card.

　He had witnessed a duel between two classmates about ten minutes earlier.

　"I'm sorry, I'm a vampire!"

　"A vampire? A vampire hidden under a dog-man's skin? Interesting."

　The two duelists can move freely and are not limited to summoning magical spirits within the summoning zone.

　Also.

　Once a werewolf or vampire activates their Sorting Card and reveals their identity to a selected target, a duel arena similar to a simulated duel will unfold between the two, with the location of the Sorting Card serving as the contestant's platform.

　Despite this, the venue was not actually specified.

　However, the barrier has an energy counter for withstanding damage.

　Once a duelist takes more than 2000 damage, he or she will be judged to have lost.

　At the start of the duel, the Sorting Card releases a spherical barrier that completely surrounds the duelist.

　This spherical barrier is actually supported by a huge barrier outside the castle, and its energy limit is extremely high.

　In other words, you can't get hit!

　Under the current rules, duelists have no room for error; once hit, they are basically declared the loser.

　Yes, only 2000 points!

　Normally, in duels between senior students, an energy barrier with 2000 points is simply not enough to withstand a single blow from the opponent.

　After 300 seconds, the winner will be determined solely by the damage taken.

　If the damage suffered is the same, the game is declared a draw.

　In addition to this rule change, a 300-second countdown will also appear above the duel arena.

　This means that a duel can last a maximum of five minutes.

　While the other party was still in shock, Dak walked forward as if nothing had happened. According to the map, the sixth resource point was located in a washroom.

　Of course, these rules are based on the premise that a duel between the two parties can take place.

　Those who are not students of fairies can only wait until the other party fails to conquer them before they can try.

　After Dark started moving, the kobold senior finally realized: "Are you a werewolf, a vampire, or a phoenix?"

　The entrance to the washroom was between the two of them.

　Whoever goes in first will gain the upper hand!

　But at that moment, the kobold senior suddenly raised the magic card in his hand, which had already been activated in advance.

　The azure ice ripples radiated outwards from the wall, freezing the entire wall in the blink of an eye.

　"What do you think?" Darke narrowed his eyes.

　Then, when he was only three meters away from the door, he gathered his strength and instantly burst into speed.

　But then he saw Darkdemon, who had run to the door, raise his fist at the ice wall that blocked the doorway, and then unleash it in an instant!

　"boom!"

　The academy rules prohibit physical violence against students outside of duels, but do not prohibit the use of other means.

　The kobold senior let out a cold laugh and slowly walked towards the door: "Junior Darkdemon, you're too naive."

　Dark waved to the senior and smiled, "I'll go in first, senior."

　Then he stepped into the washroom.

　That thick ice wall was actually shattered into pieces by his punch!

　The senior's jaw almost fell off.

　The dog-headed senior stared wide-eyed at the door of the washroom, then turned and left after a long while.

　Since it was Dark who entered this resource point, there is no point in staying here any longer.

　"What monster?"

　five minutes later.

　Dak came out of the bathroom.

　He did not believe that Dark would fail to conquer it.

　Although it's not very powerful, it's more than enough to chill drinks.

　Dak put the seashell away, then opened his Sorting Card and continued to select the location of the seventh resource point.

　He now held an ice-blue seashell in his hand.

　That's an ocean ice shell. As long as you inject magic, it can shoot out a beam of frozen light from its mouth.

　"Ghost?"

　Dark said in a low voice.

　But after taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who's there?"

　The sound of running footsteps came from not far behind, but gradually faded into the distance.

　In the heat of a duel, duelists rarely notice that others are following them.

　This makes it easy for duelists to have five percent of their credits stolen by ghosts during duels.

　Once students enter a resource point, their tracking time is no longer counted towards the ghost's time limit.

　The easiest way for a ghost to complete a tracking mission is to get close to a werewolf or vampire while they are fighting a human.

　He did not carry many magical spirits with him.

　Therefore, during a duel, it is essential to guard against the phantom's spying in advance.

　Dak continued on his way.

　The Holy Sword's advantage against dark attributes is also gradually becoming apparent.

　Besides the Spellbook, Devimon, and Gatomon that were summoned at the beginning, there was only Sylveon and Saber Sheath.

　With its holy sword in hand, Tailmon is more than capable of dealing with most ordinary ghosts.

　The higher the floor of the resource point, the more difficult the puzzles to solve, and the stronger the ghosts summoned after solving them.

　Similarly, the more credits and resources you get after defeating monsters, the better!

　"Let me see. This time, the nearest resource point is... let's go upstairs and take another look!"

　After searching for some time, Darke clearly discovered that resource points also have different levels.

　Last year, his strength was not enough to support his exploration on the fifth floor.

　But he is very different this year.

　He walked from the second floor to the fourth floor and is now preparing to go to the fifth floor to take a look.

　The ghosts on the fifth floor are around five to six stars in strength. Occasionally, even stronger ghosts will appear, but they are very rare.

　But as he approached the stairwell, he suddenly heard people shouting at each other nearby, which aroused his curiosity.

　He beckoned the magical elves to tread lightly and then quickly approached.

　A few minutes later, Dark found the stairs leading to the fifth floor.

　Having quickened his pace, Dak no longer concealed his steps.

　He walked straight out from around the corner and saw Diana fighting a squid!

　As the voice became clearer, he recognized Diana's unique voice.

　"So it was Diana. No wonder I felt uneasy."

　"Who?" Rose turned her head sharply, and the magical sprites at her feet shot out like shuttles.

　Gatomon swiftly stepped forward, blocking the rabbit with pointed horns on its head.

　Is Diana a werewolf or a vampire?

　The moment this thought crossed his mind, Dark suddenly noticed Rose outside the dueling arena.
