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

　"But if it's not used to refine the Ghost Serpent, how else can this crystal be used?"

　Dak couldn't help but ponder.

　He wasn't going to waste any more time exploring the last resource point on the seventh floor.

　Next, he needs to quickly acquire nine more resource points in order to earn the academic credits that are usually awarded for conquering twenty resource points.

　Dak forced a smile and tried his best to make it.

　He then put the two items away, preparing to return to the lower level as soon as possible before Angewomon and Luna arrived.

　"Ah."

　Angewomon snorted and turned her head to the side.

　With credits being consumed at an increasingly rapid pace, he will not give up any opportunity to earn a large number of credits!

　"If we're lucky, we'll encounter a horde of seven-star monsters soon. Don't you think so, Angewomon?"

　Dak did not refuse.

　The Moon Goddess then embraced Dark's body from behind, indicating that this would make the movement faster.

　"Then let's go!"

　After returning to the sixth floor, he put Gatomon and Miltank back into his Magic Cards, and then chose Meowth, Hawkman and the sword sheath that had been transformed into a spirit form.

　With these three magical spirits, it was impossible for them to stay on the sixth floor for long.

　When the evolution time for the female beast and the moon goddess ended that day, Dark finally returned to the sixth floor.

　Unfortunately, they didn't encounter hordes of ghosts during this period, only two or three blind creatures.

　In short, do it as quickly as possible.

　Fortunately, the ghosts on the sixth floor have been mostly cleared out, and the upperclassmen who were not strong enough to gain a foothold on the seventh floor have almost cleared out the sixth floor of the castle.

　Therefore, these three magical spirits are mainly responsible for scouting and responding to emergencies.

　Once there is nowhere to hide and you are bound to encounter ghosts and monsters, use the "candy" tactic: scatter a handful of candy and escape quickly.

　The monsters on the fifth floor of the castle are mostly five-star, but there are also some four-star monsters.

　The top students in the third grade, not satisfied with the level of the ghosts on the fourth floor, will challenge the fifth floor.

　Dak didn't encounter much danger. He successfully descended from the sixth floor to the fifth floor.

　This was the first time he had set foot on the fifth floor tonight.

　Of course, occasionally older students would go down to the fifth floor for the sake of efficiency.

　Everyone's considerations are different, and the resulting actions will also be different.

　Those fourth graders who aren't very good at dueling will also choose the fifth floor as their hunting ground.

　This area can be considered the intersection of the third and fourth grades.

　With only three-star and four-star magic spirits around, the fourth floor is the safest and fastest.

　His target wasn't the ghosts that had been mostly cleared out, but the resource points!

　Dak did not stay on the fifth floor.

　This time, he went straight down to the fourth floor!

　The top students in the first and second grades are relatively few in number.

　However, the average third-year student is actually quite slow at conquering resource points.

　The lower you go, the less efficient it is to capture resource points.

　Students who choose the fourth floor as their hunting grounds are likely to be top performers from the second or even first year, as well as ordinary third-year students.

　Especially on the first floor, there must be quite a few left!

　Conversely, the eighth and ninth floors, due to their high difficulty, should also have a lot of resource points remaining.

　This makes it relatively easy to leave unconquered resource points.

　Of course, the number of remaining resource points on the third, second, and first floors will theoretically be more.

　If it's already past the scheduled 8:30, he has to hurry.

　At exactly nine o'clock, Dark successfully found two more resource points that had not yet been captured and quickly conquered them.

　But that has nothing to do with Darko anymore.

　He remained steadfast in his goal and quickly began searching the fourth floor according to the resource map.

　It seems that the other students have also begun to focus on quickly capturing resource points.

　It wasn't until 10 o'clock that Dak managed to capture another resource point.

　At 9:30, Dark found three more resource points that had not yet been captured, and again, he did not waste too much time.

　But after that, the number of unconquered resource points that could be found suddenly decreased!

　After careful consideration, Dak decisively went down from the fourth floor to the third floor, arriving at the floor that the second-year students should have occupied.

　On this floor, he also saw quite a few first-year students.

　By this point, he had captured a total of seventeen resource points.

　"Only three more to go!"

　Looking at the large amount of credits he finally obtained after conquering twenty resource points, Dark couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

　Starting at 6:00 AM, he ran and fought at high intensity until 10:30 AM, taking a total of four hours and thirty minutes, before finally completing all the tasks for this year's masquerade ball.

　After about thirty minutes, he finally managed to completely capture the last twentieth resource point!

　"Finally it worked!"

　Once he confirmed that all the Magic Spirit Cards had been fully replenished and that none of the Magic Cards were on cooldown, Dark opened his mouth, revealing his vampire fangs!

　"There's still one hour and twenty minutes until the masquerade ball ends. The upperclassmen on the upper floors should already be partying by now, right?"

　And then, finally, the moment of revelry arrived!

　"Are Blue-Eyes Drake, Leomon, SaberShell, Sylveon, Miltank, and Gatomon all ready?"

　Leomon, Gatomon, Saber Sheath, and Devimon, along with the Spellbook that had never been retrieved, followed along.

　Upon entering the fifth floor, Dark saw werewolves and vampires constantly challenging others to duels, as well as ghosts and witches lurking nearby.

　"I wonder if it's too late for me to join now?"

　Dark traveled upwards, calling out all the way.

　The sixth floor was the most suitable floor for him.

　Most of the ghosts and monsters roaming the sixth floor were within his hunting range.

　Upon returning to the sixth floor, Dark found Diana and Rose scattering sugar everywhere.

　He took a small step back so that Diana and Rose wouldn't notice, then immediately turned to the other side and quickly left.

　"Third-year students should be the best people to warm up with."

　"Although most of them did not perform well last year, the third-year students who were able to establish themselves on the sixth floor certainly cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

　The third, fourth, and fifth graders who stayed on the sixth floor were also within his hunting range!

　His goal is to select the most suitable opponent, engage in a duel that begins within three seconds of meeting, and fully enjoy the pleasures that come with being a vampire!

　"Of course, it would be quite good if we could find a senior student like Mike Owen in fourth grade."

　Dark was like a real vampire who had caught the scent of blood, greedily searching for someone to suck his blood.

　"I wonder if Senior Mary Bond is on this sixth floor?"

　"Tonight we were too focused on finding resource points, and we didn't even spot many of our acquaintances."

　"Are all prey these days so careless?"

　Dak sighed.

　He was lucky.

　Just two minutes later, they followed the sound and found the prey gathered together.

　The senior student, on the other hand, was dressed in a suit and tie, wearing a navy cap, and looked dashing.

　To be honest, I don't recognize any of them.

　In the relatively spacious corridor, a male and female student were having a duel.

　The senior student, dressed in a penguin costume that only revealed his head, looked incredibly bulky. Yet, he moved with surprising agility, constantly dodging the ranged attacks launched by the opposing magical spirit.

　Although the six people were hiding behind a pillar, they had no other defensive measures.

　With the ghosts on the sixth floor mostly cleared out, they no longer needed to worry about being attacked by suddenly appearing ghosts.

　But that didn't stop him from recognizing the onlookers!

　Even though there was a high possibility that a ghost was hiding among the people around him, there were six people watching.

　With that thought in mind, Dak walked over without any attempt to hide it.

　For a ghost to successfully steal abilities, it must remain within ten meters of the target and track them for more than three minutes without being detected.

　"Wait, could all six of them be ghosts?"

　"Ah, perhaps there are also phoenixes that are immune to all abilities."

　One option is to not point it out.

　Dark was initially unsure, but after experiencing it, he realized that seeing something but not pointing it out still counts as "not being discovered".

　The phrase "not being discovered" here has two meanings.

　One is to be unseen.

　Therefore, not reacting after unintentionally hearing someone's footsteps or shadow does not count as "discovery".

　Branch card isn't that effective.

　You need to actually take the action of "discovering the other party" in order to make this judgment.

　Dark winked at one of the six people and slowly took out his college sorting card.

　He wasn't worried that any of the six people were witches.

　Dark's footsteps were clearly noticed.

　The six onlookers immediately turned to look at him, and then two of them immediately raised their fingers to their lips and shushed him.

　Whether it's 10% or 5%, as long as the prey's credits exceed half of his, he'll still make a profit.

　And the upperclassmen who can stand firm on the sixth floor should have earned no less than half the credits he did, right?

　Firstly, by using some techniques, the other party cannot determine whether he is a werewolf or a vampire.

　Even if you lose 5% of your credits, you can earn it back from your prey.

　Fifth grade, the Noble House, Zach Wilson!

　He was both a member of the Society for the Study of Aristocratic History and a member of the Duel Club.

　So, all you need to do is win the duel!

　"Senior Zack Wilson, this is my first formal greeting. I wonder if you have time to spar with me?"

　In fact, Dacker left Zach Wilson no room to refuse.

　Zach Wilson was dressed in a black suit and a blood-red cape, with the collar pulled up extremely high. He had fangs in his mouth and, although he didn't have wings, he was clearly dressed as a vampire.

　He's also a commentator for the rookie tournament!

　You could say they are "familiar strangers".

　That's why he was very clear about how terrifying Dark's deck, which might be limited in magic duels, was in such instant duels.

　Although he is already a fifth-grader, his actual strength is quite average.

　His expression changed instantly when he saw Darkdemon, who was also dressed as a vampire, raise the Sorting Card.

　As a gradually becoming more professional commentator, he has a fairly thorough understanding of Dark Dimon's abilities.
