Chapter 272 Dark Demon Doesn't Want To Stay Up Late
Dianna's victory was a complete surprise to the audience.
Before the competition, none of them thought that this first-year girl would be able to win the fight against a senior. After all, her opponent was not a newcomer who just joined the dueling club but a senior who was a year ahead of her and as such, her victory was beyond everyone's expectations.
But it was exactly this act of breaking their expectations that made the duel so appealing.
It was a pity that the duel ended too quickly, which made the audience unsatisfied.
Loud cheers and applause burst out from the ring belt and the spectator stand as the referee announced Dianna's victory!
Rose was waving the sign vigorously. She had never been so excited since the start of school.
The students of the Noble House in the first year also took the lead in cheering, as if the winner was themselves.
"Yeah!" Viscount Great Bayer stood up abruptly, roaring excitedly like a giant bear!
He never imagined that his lovely daughter could achieve such results in only half a semester.
This was nothing short of a miracle!
Although he was full of confidence before, he had always been worried that Dianna's performance would not be as good as Doron's.
But now, he found that his daughter was likely to have the talent to lead a new era!
"Could it be that our silly daughter is actually very smart? And her usual naive look is just an expression of innocence in her ignorant period?" Even the Viscountess couldn't help thinking so, and quietly wiping away the tears in the corner of her eyes.
...
"This is the daughter of the Great Bayer family? She actually won!" The Eldest Prince Charles had just been watching the game without much interest, but this surprise ending also attracted his attention.
Doron's duel before really made him feel bored. It even made him have the idea that the strength of all first-year students was most likely the same as Doron's.
If it wasn't to observe the future Brave One, he didn't want to waste time here at all.
But the daughter of the Great Bayer family surprised him.
"But why, it's a woman again?"
In recent years, with the rise of Valkyrie as a role model for women, the social structure of the entire kingdom had undergone major changes.
The status of women has gradually increased, and a large number of self-reliant talents have emerged one after another.
Such a situation even gave Eliza the confidence to fight for power with him!
The eldest prince was originally a strong supporter of the traditional aristocratic system, so he got the firm support of some old aristocrats. He was very displeased with this gradually changing social phenomenon.
...
On the other side of the spectator stand, Princess Eliza and others were very pleased about Dianna's victory, especially Alvette. After learning that Dianna was Dark's friend, the more she looked at Dianna, the more she liked her.
But after a while, Alvette started murmuring about why her son hadn't shown up yet.
Regarding this, St. Maria really didn't do a good job. They should've released a schedule for the audience.
...
Wilson on the commentary stage was embarrassed for a long time. But eventually, he still congratulated Dianna for her victory, then quickly collected himself, and moved on to the next game.
The two players of the fifth game were already waiting at the entrance. And it was also going to be a match between a first-year and a second-year student.
After the wonderful duel between Dianna and Frank, the audience had extra anticipation for this game.
Wilson's commentary also became more vigorous.
...
Dianna stood on the platform for a long time, and the loud applause and cheers made her feel like it was just a dream.
"I really won!" She didn't wake up until her father's roar rang out from the spectator stand, and then she smiled a little bit, facing the direction of the players' lounge, facing Rose in the ring belt, facing her parents in the audience, waving her hands vigorously excitedly!
It was not until the referee started to urge her that she reluctantly called back her magical spirits, put the deck carefully back into the card pouch, and then walked off the platform happily.
As for Frank on the opposite side, he could still afford to lose 50 credits.
"Bang!" Frank hit the card table hard, secretly vowing that he would remember this humiliation!
He would probably spend half of a year in the Rookie League, and there would be many opportunities to meet Dianna again!
...
Dark, while delighted with Dianna's victory, didn't forget to keep an eye on the players in this fifth game.
This time the first-year player was Justin Wayne of the Knight House, a classmate who was very popular at Knight House, but he was not very familiar with him.
Justin Wayne's deck seemed to be a standard knight series, from Human Knight, Beastfolk Knight, Goblin Wolf Rider... to Mechanical Cavalry.
His strength was not weak, and he was at the forefront among the first-year students.
Of the seven first-year duelers, he was probably also in the middle in terms of strength.
Before the battle actually ended, Dark wouldn't be able to tell the results of the competition.
After all, the first-year students were in a period of rapid growth. Just like Diana, after having a 4-star magical spirit, their strength would have reached a new level.
Speaking of Dianna, she skipped briskly back to the player lounge, wanting to be praised by Dark.
"How is my [Baby Bear], are you surprised?" Dianna pulled out [Baby Bear] and waved in front of Dark.
Dark couldn't help but chuckle: "Very good, this should be an orange card, right?"
Dianna nodded immediately: "The first one! Made from your Christmas present!"
Dark asked; "Is [Baby Bear]'s Attack Force an ultimate that can gather other magical spirits?"
Dianna glanced left and right and said secretly: "That's right. Each additional cub can increase the attack force's attack by 100 points, and the attack range of a unit."
Dark was surprised: "Is there a limit?"
Dianna shook her head: "I don't know."
Some ultimates' information required research and experimentation to fully understand them.
[Baby Bear]'s [Baby Bear Attack Force] had a tolerance limit, but this limit was probably related to factors such as [Baby Bear]'s commanding power.
If there was a way to break through this limit and form an attacking force of 100 bears, then the attack intensity of this skill would be unprecedentedly terrifying!
But it certainly wouldn't be that easy.
Dark was impressed by this card, he couldn't help saying: "It's really amazing."
Dianna scratched the back of her head and smiled, "It's just average."
At that moment, even the temperature warmed up a little.
...
Dark then watched the game with Dianna.
After completing the task, Dianna relaxed a lot and was able to chat with Dark about her views.
Although she looked a little dumb, under the influence of the adults in her family, she was actually quite educated in combat tactics.
In the process of chatting, Dark also gained a lot.
And on the field, Justin Wayne actually used a strange magic spell card to make the three knights form a triangular formation, which greatly improved the overall attack and defense of the three knights, and gained the upper hand in the duel in a short period of time!
It was a pity that Justin's opponent was much stronger than him. It didn't take long for his opponent to find the opportunity and take out one of his knights, breaking his knight formation. After his knight formation was broken, his opponent continued the attack, forming a crushing offense, and eventually won the duel.
Justin Wayne's performance was very dazzling, but unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough to be able to defeat a senior student like Dianna.
The second-year senior heaved a sigh of relief when he finally won the duel. He was actually under a lot of pressure.
After all, he couldn't let the second-year students lose face.
From the sixth game to the eighth game were duels between the second-year students.
Among them, the duel between the two second-year students in the eighth game was very intense and exciting. It once again hyped up the entire audience.
Dark also watched very seriously, feeling that he had learned a lot.
At the beginning of the ninth game, he took a deep breath and started to get ready.
His game was the tenth, which was the next one.
But just as he was about to move away from the window, he suddenly noticed that among the two contestants who appeared, one of them turned out to be Angelia, the third-year senior!
And her opponent was only a second-year student.
Although Angelia-senpai lacked dueling experience, her powerful strength was real.
Dark still remembered that tough battle. "Well, it seems like she's going to win this game easily."
And sure enough.
The ninth game became Angelia-senpai's solo show!
Feeling that there wouldn't be any surprises on the outcome of the ninth game, Dark spoke to Dianna and walked towards the player passage.
At this time, it was just past 9:30, which was almost the same as the estimated time on the duel notice.
Dark walked through the long underground passage, came to the player passage of the red player, and handed the player card to the staff guarding the passage.
"Dark Demon from the first year?" The senior sister of the third year couldn't help asking.
Dark nodded: "It's me."
The senior couldn't help but chuckle: "I remember you, Angelia lost to you in the recruiting competition!"
Dark said with a smile; "Senpai, I really hope you can remember me for other reasons."
"Okay." The senior sister handed the player card back to him but did not retract her hand, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Demi Charlotte, I'm Angelia's classmate and a third-year student from the Fool House."
Dark reached out and shook her hand: "Nice to meet you, Charlotte-senpai."
Demi retracted her hand and said, "Mhm, nice to meet you too. But when Angelia passes by here later, you have to pretend that we don't know each other."
"Uh..." Dark was a little confused. He indeed didn't know this senior, why did he have to pretend?
In the end, he could only let out a sigh, feeling that if only all girls were as cute and as easy to understand as Dianna.
...
While waiting, Dark leaned against the wall to continue watching the game.
A minute later, he suddenly noticed that someone was walking out of the player passage on the opposite side.
"It must be Elvis Kevin." Dark thought after recalling the memory in his mind.
He didn't pay special attention to senior students, so he didn't know much about this senior who was also from the Noble House.
But that didn't mean that he hadn't met him before.
Elvis Kevin was only thirteen years old. In terms of appearance, he was not ugly. It was just that some puberty symptoms had sprouted and appeared on his face.
He had always been prim and proper, and whenever he appeared in the common room of Noble House, he would always be accompanied by three or four other people.
And he was always the central figure in the small group.
It could be seen that his reputation among the Noble House’s second-year students was not bad.
Dark observed him carefully for a while, and then suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and asked Charlotte-senpai, "Senpai, do you know him?"
Demi Charlotte glanced at Kevin across from her, and said casually, "The last year’s Crimson Star winner. You don’t know him? How come? I remember you're this year’s Crimson Star winner..."
"Uh…" Dark looked away slightly, no wonder Pandora-senpai was somewhat familiar with his name. It turned out that this senior had received a trophy at the Halloween party the previous year.
Although winning the Halloween event did not actually mean that his strength was the strongest among the students of the same year at that time, it undoubtedly affirmed his strength.
So today’s Elvis Kevin may not be easier to deal with than Angelia-senpai.
"Now I’m even more looking forward to this duel." Dark's eyes lit up, and his spirit and energy became completely different.
From the indifferent attitude when receiving the assignment to the slight interest last night, to the desire to win this morning... to the intense fighting spirit at the moment, Dark's mental status went through a number of changes.
He felt in good shape.
...
And at this moment, Elvis Kevin was also observing Dark.
He was actually in the process of advancing to the next level now, and he originally did not want to get involved in this mess.
If he wanted to advance from the Rookie League to the Main League, he needed to accumulate 100 points and then win three consecutive games in the qualifying competition.
For each win, he would get 10 points, and for each loss, he would lose 10 points.
Kevin wanted to enter the Main League this semester to hone his skills, so he applied for the promotion last week. So far, he had won one game and still had two games left.
In these two games, he wanted to win steadily and did not want to have unnecessary trouble.
But sometimes, some requests were hard to refuse.
Kevin was a member of the Aristocratic History Research Society, and had benefited greatly from it. So in principle, he couldn’t refuse the president's request.
“Fine then," This was what he thought at the time. After all, his opponent was only a first-year student.
Although this first-year student seemed to be much stronger than ordinary first-year students, he was also a top student among the second-year students, so he was somewhat confident.
The aristocratic arrogance engraved in his bones made him feel that he wasn’t inferior to anyone.
They were all Noble House students, and he was one year ahead of his opponents, so there was no reason that he would lose.
...
The eyes of the two sides collided slightly in the air, but did not stir up sparks.
Instead, the referee blew his whistle.
The duel between Angelia-senpai and the second-year senior finally ended.
Angelia, who got off the platform of the red player, accidentally saw Dark at the entrance of the passage. She stopped to greet him, and her tone was full of regret: "It’s a pity that my opponent wasn’t you."
Dark blinked: "Got 150 credits now?"
Angelia smiled: "Yeah, I’ll be able to buy another book."
Then she walked past Dark, leaving only a faint fragrant bamboo scent.
Dark was a little confused: "What book would cost 150 credits? Is it a limited edition?"
Demi Charlotte chuckled: "In the antique bookstore opened by the goblin in Traveller Street, sometimes some rare copies would be auctioned off. You can also try your luck there next time.”Please vote for this novel at
