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

　But after a brief flash of light appeared on Dark's Sorting Card, he felt his Sorting Card vibrate.

　Vampiric ability, activate!

　In this academy, grade level is sometimes insufficient to judge a student's ability. The gap in ability between top students and ordinary students can very well span several grades!

　Among them, Pandora, Doragon, Winiscat, and Darkdemon, who is only a second-year student, are all very prominent examples.

　Thus, a "duel arena" less than three meters long was constructed on the ground between the two.

　In the center of the arena, a 300-second countdown to the duel instantly popped up.

　The two students' college cards were connected on the spot.

　Two blood-red magic lines emerged from beneath Dark's feet, spreading rapidly along the arc and quickly reaching Zach Wilson's feet.

　"He and I don't think we have any open feud, do we?"

　Zach Wilson couldn't help but smile wryly.

　Meanwhile, the two duelists' Sorting Cards also connected with the barrier outside the castle, creating a spherical, transparent barrier around their bodies.

　Battle is inevitable!

　Just like a ghost, he is also stealing other people's credits!

　He could never have guessed that the most direct reason he was chosen as a bloodsucker was simply because he looked familiar.

　Moreover, the hunting of vampires and werewolves at this masquerade ball needs no reason at all!

　Meanwhile, the two duelists who were fighting on the other side instantly noticed everyone on this side and made a clear "discovery" action.

　"Damn it!" Ghost among the five cursed inwardly.

　"boom!"

　As the duel began, the other five people who were huddled together with Zach Wilson immediately dispersed with their magical spirits.

　Because mana regeneration is limited, the effectiveness of mana potions decreases after consuming too many in a short period. Therefore, most students simply keep a magical sprite nearby to conserve mana.

　Zach Wilson's magical sprite is a six-star screaming gorilla.

　Then someone immediately urged, "Zach Wilson, your opponent is just a second-year student. You can't possibly lose, can you?"

　"How could that be?" Zach Wilson chuckled dryly and immediately hid behind the magical elf beside him.

　—This outfit is not a particular hobby of Zach Wilson, but rather his natural equipment. In his special moves, it is called the Screaming Set, which is a passively activated special move.

　This screaming suit can absorb a special power called "screaming energy".

　The Screaming Gorilla is a very unique magical spirit.

　Although it was strong and muscular, with an upper body as broad as a mountain, it wore a black tight-fitting tank top, thick-rimmed black sunglasses, Hawaiian shorts, and a skirt made of banana peels.

　These "screaming energies" will be used to enhance the Screaming Suit.

　This makes the Screaming Suit even cooler and more stylish!

　Whenever someone screams for a screaming gorilla, it can absorb "screaming energy".

　The louder and more frequent the screams, the more "scream energy" you absorb.

　The screaming gorilla raised its hands, flexed its muscles, and then patted its chest, revealing its pearly white teeth to Dark.

　Zach Wilson hid behind the screaming gorilla and immediately took out a magic card to summon it.

　"Hoohoo!"

　Beside Darkmon, Leomon, seeing that Gatomon showed no intention of advancing, suddenly took a step forward and unleashed a punch: "Beast King Fist!"

　The lion-shaped shockwave slammed into the screaming gorilla's chest from the front.

　He dared not underestimate Dark, and immediately used his strongest trump card, which he had unexpectedly crafted!

　The two robust magical elves exchanged a fierce punch in the next moment.

　Due to a slight disadvantage in strength, Leomon was knocked back half a step by a punch.

　But the screaming gorilla suddenly widened its eyes, pressed its chest, and roared.

　The roar emanating from its mouth materialized and completely shattered Leomon's Beast King Fist!

　But it was not afraid at all, and with a turn of its body, it kicked the lion beast.

　Leomon steadied himself and met the kick, his Lion King Maru sinking rapidly as it pierced Screaming Gorilla's chest.

　But it immediately drew the Lion King Maru from its waist, its eyes flashing with bloodlust, and struck with lightning speed!

　The screaming gorilla raised its hand to block, but Lion King Maru cut a very deep gash in its face.

　The screaming gorilla finally let out a bloodcurdling scream.

　In this extremely close-quarters melee, the lower-star lion beast actually gained the upper hand.

　With that stab, it pressed forward, its ancestral demon sword plunging deep into the screaming gorilla's body.

　"Ow!"

　Zach Wilson, hiding in the back, had already successfully completed the normal summoning spell during this brief interval.

　His eyes flashed, and after injecting as much magic power as possible, he immediately aimed the magic card at Dark.

　But this confrontation cannot determine the outcome.

　Spell Card - Blade Hell!

　The countless blades gleamed with a bright, white light.

　A moment later.

　Countless blades instantly appeared above Dark's head!

　With the small size of the magical spirits around Dark, who lacked any area-of-effect finishing moves, there was no way they could completely block the attack of this spell card.

　The falling blade would then tear him apart—of course not, it would only cause significant damage to the barrier.

　Zach Wilson suddenly shouted, "The outcome is decided!"

　Blade Hell is a wide-range attack, with short swords hidden among the greatswords.

　Countless blades shot down!

　Darkdemon dodged!

　Even if the damage from a single blade isn't enough, all these blades can accumulate to 2000 points of damage.

　In the blink of an eye.

　"???!"

　Zach Wilson unleashed a torrent of profanities.

　Yes, he moved aside!

　Without relying on any magical spirits, he simply flashed out of the range of the Blade Array Hell!

　But Little Devimon has long since disappeared.

　Zach Wilson immediately felt the barrier behind him tremble violently, and the energy count instantly jumped to the maximum value of 2000 points.

　As Dark darted out of the Blade Hell area, Gatomon easily dodged as well, along with the monosword sheath it was holding.

　The speed of Impmon alone is not enough to dodge it.

　The battle is over.

　"Jie Jie Jie!"

　Devimon reappeared, spreading its wings and sneering behind him.

　However, isn't it perfectly normal for game commentators to not know how to play games, just like it's normal for game coaches to not know how to play games?

　Zach Wilson's defeat was only a matter of time.

　Before a single round was over, the words appeared in the center of the dueling arena.

　Despite knowing that Dark possessed a magical spirit capable of teleportation, Zach Wilson was instantly killed due to his lack of combat skills.

　Just now, he received a gift from his senior, Zach Wilson.

　"That's it!"

　"Accepted."

　Dark waved the Sorting Card in his hand and said with a smile.

　Zach Wilson glanced at him and shook his head slightly.

　The student, dressed in a tight leather suit and wearing a comical mask, froze for a moment.

　Zach Wilson sighed and took out his Sorting Card to check his losses.

　But suddenly, someone from the dispersing crowd came quickly over and whispered something in his ear.

　When Dak looked up, the word "witch" was clearly written on the card.

　"Hello, I am a witch!"

　Then he suddenly looked up and walked toward Dak.

　At the same time, he held up the Sorting Card he had already drawn, with the card side facing Dark.

　But the witch clearly didn't like being called a witch, and her tone became more menacing: "Don't even think about dueling me. Everyone's abilities have a three-minute cooldown period after use. During those three minutes, I'll run off to a place where you can't find me."

　Darko:

　The witch wearing a comical mask walked up to Dak.

　As expected, Dark calmly replied, "Hello, witch."

　The witch angrily said, "No, he should have told me! That way I could have helped him get revenge."

　Darke couldn't help but ask curiously, "Since he didn't tell you, aren't you afraid of guessing wrong? If you guess the witch's divination wrong, won't you have to pay ten percent of your credits? I advise you to be kind."

　The witch continued, "You are either a werewolf or a vampire. If I activate my power now, there is a one-in-five chance that I will guess correctly."

　Dark smiled and said, "Didn't Senior Zack Wilson tell you who I am?"

　Seeing his expression, the witch became even more certain: "I'll activate my ability—divination! You're a werewolf, aren't you! Dressing as a vampire was just to hide your werewolf identity! You've outsmarted yourself!"

　Both parties' college cards vibrated immediately after the divination ended.

　The witch shook her head, her tone becoming calmer: "Of course I have my reasons. Your vampire attire has completely exposed your identity. Be prepared to have five percent of your credits taken away!"

　Dark blinked involuntarily.

　He never imagined that he would receive such an unexpected reward after winning the duel.

　The credits gained unexpectedly are even more than those earned through exploitation.

　The witch eagerly picked up the sorting card to check it, and then her expression changed instantly.

　Dak laughed heartily, raised the object across his abdomen, and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you for the hospitality, I am very grateful."

　"Although I really want to know who this senior is, I think he probably doesn't want to reveal his identity at this time, so I won't ask any more questions."

　Once the demon beast flew back to his side, Dark waved to the witch senior and said in a friendly manner.

　When good fortune comes, there's no stopping it!

　Of course, you can't just fleece one sheep at a time.

　On the sixth floor of this castle, even more fat sheep are waiting for him!

　"Goodbye, senior. Good luck."

　After saying that, he glanced at the others and then turned and left.

　After Dark left, the witch senior let out an angry roar, then suddenly turned around and faced Zach Wilson.

　He knew, of course, that there was more than one ghost hiding among this group, and that if he wanted to salvage the situation, he had no choice but to target them.

　"Damn it!"

　Meanwhile, the gleeful vampire Darkdemon found another group of targets three minutes later.

　But the five people, including Zach Wilson, suddenly scattered.

　The witch, whose abilities were also stuck in a three-minute cooldown, was immediately enraged.
