Chapter 273 Dark Demon tries to master Part 1 (2 in 1)
"I'll visit that place when I have time." Dark replied politely and walked out through the passage.
He could feel that the moment he stepped out of the passage, a lot of eyes were focused on it.
Of course, it wasn't because he was born too handsome - even if it was, it would only take up a small part.
However, he didn't look around at this time, because that would be too inelegant.
Walking up the stairs of the contestant platform with a calm pace, Dark turned his head to look at the closer ring.
When he was in the player lounge, he couldn't find Pandora-senpai due to the angle of sight.
But at this time, when he climbed to a high place, he naturally found that familiar figure.
But the bloated dress couldn't conceal her unique temperament.
Around her, a whole circle of seats was naturally vacant.
Seemingly caught Dark's attention, Pandora raised her hand and waved at Dark. Her eyes with long eyelashes looked extremely bright in the morning light.
"There's now one more reason to win." Dark raised his hand to his chest, waved back, and then quietly made an okay gesture before continuing up and boarding the red player's platform.
Look in the direction of the spectator stand from the player's platform.
On the endless ring belt below the line of sight, Rose once again held up the [Panda ♥] sign.
Near her, Doron, Pistein, and others could also be seen.
In the next moment, Doron suddenly ran away, holding the end of a red banner in one hand and the other end of the banner was held by Pistein.
As Doron ran, a huge banner unfolded.
Nothing superfluous was written on it.
It was only written with: "Dark! Dark! Victory! Victory!"
You guys are really something else. Dark rolled his eyes helplessly.
Then he raised his head slightly and looked at his mother and Aunt Claire in the front row of the audience.
As for the eldest princess Eliza, she was ignored by him.
...
"He saw us! My baby saw us! Should I wave to him at this time?" Alvette's face flushed with excitement. Recalling the cheer from Viscount Great Bayer, she couldn't help asking.
The eldest princess' expression became stiff for a moment. She quickly took Alvette's hand and discouraged: "Duchess, I think, eyes are the windows to the soul. With your relationship with Dark, I think as long as your eyes meet, you will be able to pass your message over."
Alvette blinked, but suddenly said, "Princess, do you really think I was going to follow that bear?"
Princess: Yes, I do!
Alvette covered her mouth and chuckled: "I'm already very satisfied to be able to see my baby on the stage. He looks better than when he was at home. It seems that those halfling chefs are still as dedicated as ever, or maybe he's no longer as fussy as he used to be when it comes to what to eat."
The eldest princess then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really worried that Valkyrie would toss away the aristocratic etiquette and shouted like Viscount Great Bayer!
This was a public place, after all, so they must pay attention to their behavior.
"Meow!" Claire on the other side accidentally pressed Galileo’s toe beans too hard.
She wondered what Dark's process on learning the [Zoo] card was, and if he had received her [Wonderland].
...
The blond boy showed a look of nostalgia on the player's platform, and the sunlight shed from the sky illuminated his skin, making it exceptionally fair.
He waved in the direction of Alvette and Claire, finally understanding Dianna's mood.
Humans' attachment to family love would not weaken with age.
It was actually quite the opposite.
The more mature people were, the more they would appreciate the preciousness of family love.
It was just that Alvette didn't wave back at him, which made him feel a little disappointed.
But this thought disappeared in an instant, and as the whistle sounded, he turned his attention back to the duel and injected his magic energy into the card table after he pressed his hand on the table.
The card table was reactivated, and the magic projection device was turned on.
Dark took out the pre-adjusted deck from the card pouch, put it into the card slot, and quietly waited for the automatic shuffling to begin.
……
"Is he the only son of the Demon family?" Prince Charles frowned as he looked at Dark, who received a lot of cheers as soon as he appeared, feeling suspicious in his heart.
In his impression, Dark Demon was a spoiled kid.
He wasn't disgusted by it, he just thought that a kid like that would help him to hold Alvette back.
But now it seemed that studying at Saint Marian had helped him grow up.
The kind of temperament that flowed out naturally couldn't be faked.
The eldest prince still had a certain degree of confidence in his own judgment.
"Saint Marian truly deserves to be called the cradle of countless heroes." He sighed slightly.
In fact, Holy Mystery Academy had stricter discipline in this regard, but he still leaned towards Saint Marian Academy slightly. It was also the case for most people in the kingdom.
The reason why he chose to side with Holy Mystery Academy was only out of political considerations.
Of the two transcendent forces, he had to choose one after all.
Pulling his thoughts back, he decided to watch the game seriously this time.
After all, he needed to find out if Valkyrie's son would become a threat to him!
...
"It's about to start!" Angus Jeffrey, the president of the Aristocratic History Research Society, was chatting casually with Mike Irving in the ring belt.
Elvis Kevin was different from any players that had appeared before. Simply put, he was on a completely different level.
He wasn't worried at all that Kevin would lose. But the line-up of the audience in the spectator stand was really grand today. He even found his dad in the crowd!
Count Jeffrey was a loyal prince supporter. It was the main reason for his current political position.
"I hope the feeling of being completely defeated under the attention of all the people will not leave a psychological shadow on this little Duke's mind."
"Oh, bless this poor fellow."
...
"Beep--" As the whistle sounded, this highly anticipated duel finally began.
The usual communication (trash talk) part of the preparation phase was skipped directly.
Neither side was the type that was unable to keep their mouths shut.
They all wanted to use the duel to prove their strength!
"Oh! It's hard to imagine such a coincidence! Today is really a special day!"
"Now please allow me to briefly introduce the two players."
"On the red player's platform is the only son of our distinguished and beloved Duchess, Dark Demon, who also happens to be the Crimson Star winner of this year's Halloween event!"
"Dark Demon is already showing his incredible talent despite being just a first-year student. He once defeated a third-year student in the dueling club recruiting competition. He’s the most highly anticipated new star of Noble House this year!!"
"And Elvis Kevin on the blue player’s platform also holds an equally impressive record. He comes from the ancient Kevin family and was also the winner of the Crimson Star last year."
"The two Crimson Star winners actually met in the Rookie League. It could be said that nothing in this world could be more coincident than this!" Wilson commented loudly, making the already lively atmosphere become more hyped.
"With an entire year difference between the two sides, who will have the last laugh?”
"A duel won't budge because of your age, so let’s wait and see!"
"Clap clap clap!" Wilson applauded himself.
...
[Preparation stage] [30s]
When the 30-second countdown appeared on the panel, the atmosphere in the audience was further elevated, but the atmosphere in the dueling arena froze instantly.
Whether confident or arrogant, once the duel began, duelers would not consider any factors outside the arena.
Both sides held their breath the moment when the cards were drawn.
Counting to five in their hearts, each side drew five cards at a time and then spread out into a fan shape in their hands.
Next, the strategy for the first round would be completed within 30 seconds of the preparation phase!
...
Dark looked at his starting hand.
In the Rookie League where the magic ball's life barrier only had 2,000 magic energy points, he actually had a set of cards that would take out his opponents in just one round, but he was not so lucky today.
Nevertheless, the cards he drew this time were not bad either.
▼
[Shuckle]
[Phantom Magic Beast: Eevee]
[Greed Ⅱ]
[Miltank]
[Blinking Spell]
▲
Summoning [Shuckle] in the first round would be the steadiest strategy!
With a defense value of 2200, Shuckle was an iron wall that couldn’t be broken amongst the 3-star magical spirits!
Its only disadvantage as the main tank was its size.
The inability to physically protect the magic ball was the main reason why its role was limited.
But as a "trickster" who manipulated attack and defense, Shuckle had terrifying abilities worthy of the golden card on another level.
Even if Dark's most wanted [Deadly Sin III] series didn't appear in the five cards in the starting hand, with [Shuckle], Dark would not need to worry about anything.
If he could, he didn't want to sacrifice [Shuckle] to summon Miltank.
So in the first round, he decided to focus on defense.
After a brief strategic thought, the 30-second countdown passed in a blink of an eye.
"Tick!"
The duel entered the [Battle Phase]!
Both players started summoning at the same time!
The Normal Summoning Spell cast in the first round best reflected the basic skills of a dueler.
Dark's basic skills were based on the dual effects of diligence and talent. Every day when he woke up, his magic energy would increase slightly, which made his hard work become easier to transform.
It had only been a week since the last recruiting competition, and he had once again shortened the limit time of Normal Summoning Spell by a few tenths of a second, which was very close to the final limit of three seconds.
But his opponent senior Kevin was also worthy of the Crimson Star winner title, and the Normal Summoning time of the two sides was very close.
Affected by factors such as state, this was almost the limit that ordinary students could achieve.
"I choose you, Shuckle!" Dark stretched out his hand and pointed at the arena, a white light shot from the card surface landing right in front of the red player’s magic ball.
Then Shuckle with soft limbs and a hard carapace appeared on the field!
Although Shuckle was a rare magical spirit, it was very famous in the dueling arena.
After all, there were always some media who liked to make some eye-catching rankings.
Shuckle's terrifying defense actually ranked at the top of the defense leaderboard of the first-tier Magical Spirits.
So when it appeared, it attracted a lot of attention.
Kevin on the blue player’s platform also frowned slightly, feeling troubled!
In his summoning area, a mech-type magical spirit was slowly taking shape.
...
"It's confirmed now, it's a magical spirit I've never seen before!" Dark, ashamed of his limited knowledge, carefully observed the mech-type magical spirit.
This magical spirit named [Mechanical Components: Core] had the character representing "core" engraved on the forehead of its cubic head.
Its head occupied about half of its body, and its body extending from below its head was short and skinny. Its arms and legs were spring-like structures, with only the joints were solid.
In the upper part of its body, there was a circular groove that seemed to fit some kind of special component.
…
[Card name: Mechanical Components: Core]
[Type: spirit card]
[Level: ✪]
[Race: mech-type]
[Attribute: Steel-type]
[Magic energy: 100]
[Attack: 100]

[Ultimate: Perfect Assembly]
...
During a duel, it was very rare to see the dueler begin the duel by summoning 1-star magical spirits.
But for the dueler who could cast the Normal Summoning spell fast enough, they had the confidence to summon the second magical spirit in a short amount of time.
After an interval of just over three seconds, Kevin had already begun to summon the second magical spirit.
But Dark didn't do anything after summoning his first magical spirit.
Immediately afterwards, Kevin's second magical spirit appeared beside [Mechanical Components: Core]. It was still a mech-type magical spirit that was three times bigger than [Mechanical Components: Core]!
The magical spirit that looked almost exactly the same as [Mechanical Components: Core] apart from its size was called [Mechanical Components: Giant], with the character representing "giant" engraved on its forehead.
…
[Card name: Mechanical Components: Giant]
[Type: spirit card]
[Level: ✪✪]
[Race: mech-type]
[Attribute: Steel-type]
[Magic energy: 500]

[Defense :1000]
[Ultimate:Perfect Assembly]
...
"Assemble, Mechanical Components!" Kevin's command voice was amplified by the amplifier. It would have been better if it was accompanied by a passionate tone, but his tone was very flat.
So to make up for that, the commentator Wilson said excitedly: "Witness! Elvis Kevin's iconic magical spirit, mechanical components! Mechanical components that can be assembled freely have amazing charm. Depending on the stacking of components, they can even break through the upper limit of their tier!"
Under the explanation of the commentator, [Mechanical Components: Core] with a football-sized head suddenly jumped on top of [Mechanical Components: Giant]'s head. The part below its head was directly inserted into [Mechanical Components: Core]'s head, leaving only half of its cylindrical body, which became the neck of the new magical spirit!
In this way, these two mechanical components of Kevin were transformed into a 3-star magical spirit - [Mechanical Components: Giant Core]!
