Chapter 276 (2) |
White Gawd stood on the red player's platform and looked down.
He found Robert and some of Knight House's classmates.
Since taking that astronomy class, the attitude of his classmates toward him had improved a lot.
There were many people who cheered him on.
But he really had no confidence!
Especially after watching the entire duel between Dark and Kevin, he once again deeply felt the gap between him and Dark.
If his opponent was like Elvis Kevin, he felt like he should just throw in the towel.
Fortunately, it was not.
Wilson on the commentary platform took a sip of tea and started the new round of commentary.
"White Gawd, nicknamed the Lucky Gawd, is one of the seven first-year students who joined the dueling club this year! He is also the son of the Brave One!" Wilson almost shouted at the top of his lungs to finish this sentence.
But the audience didn't seem to have recovered from the previous duel, so he had to say it again.
"It's the first-year student again! After the son of Valkyrie, the son of the Brave One also appears in the arena! Both of them are the descendants of the kingdom's twin swords, and they are both very promising newcomers!"
"Presumably Player White Gawd will not be inferior to Dark Demon, and can also bring us a wonderful duel!"
"What I am worried about now is his opponent. Will he be able to show his true strength?"
"Then please welcome our blue player - David Leonard! Leonard is a honoured second-year student, and he also successfully joined the dueling club last semester. By the way, he is also a member of Knight House!"
"It's the first-year student versus the second-year student, the internal battle of Knight House, and the battle of bravery versus bravery!"
With Wilson's efforts, the audience's attention was finally pulled back to the current duel. They suddenly realized that the black-haired boy in the arena was the rumored son of the Brave One!
So, the atmosphere finally picked up.
And the game also kicked off at this time!
...
David Leonard was a second-year student at Knight House.
Like most Knight House students, he was delighted at the beginning of the school year that the son of the Brave One had entered Knight House.
But after school started, he, like most of the Knight House classmates, gradually stopped paying attention to him.
After all, Saint Marian's studies were not easy, and they didn't have much energy to focus on a first-year student for a long time.
As for the things that happened to the son of the Brave One repeatedly... of course, he had also heard of it.
As "the son of the Brave One", being in the "event center" seemed to be a very normal thing.
And White's performance in the Halloween event was actually quite good. This time, he also successfully joined the dueling club. Compared with ordinary students, he was already very good.
Most people just lowered their focus on him and did nothing else.
With White Gawd as his opponent this time, David Leonard was still a little excited, boasting that he was about to be the touchstone of the Brave One, and that even if he lost, he would not feel embarrassed.
However, the last duel had raised the upper limit of the first-year students' strength too high!
Leonard was motivated to do his best, but he was also self-aware. He felt that he would definitely not be able to play the role of "Elvis Kevin", but at least he had two second-tier magical spirits in his hands, which was similar to Dianna's opponents!
It would be a shame if he couldn't let the Son of the Brave One play to his fullest because his level was too low.
But since it had come to this point, he could only bite the bullet and take the platform of the duel.
...
[Preparation Phase] [30s]
...
The countdown of [Preparation Phase] appeared on the panel on the card table, and two people who also had little confidence drew cards at the same time.
After drawing five cards, White took a quick glance.
"[Troll]!" He was instantly delighted.
Starting with [Troll] was a very common scene in dueling matches.
After all, it belonged to the popular card.
The 1500 attack and 1400 defense put it at the top of the list of 3-star magical spirits.
Therefore, when [Battle Phase] started, White immediately summoned [Troll]!
Troll with a sturdy physique like a hill appeared in a loud roar. Except for its ugly appearance, it really didn't have many shortcomings.
In the audience, only the Archbishop frowned slightly: "Why is it a Troll?"
Even if it was not a magical spirit of light like [Gatomon], it shouldn't be Troll, right?
But then, White summoned the 2-star [Double-headed Ogre]...
If there was a classification, White's deck at this time was actually more inclined towards the dungeon monster series.
That obviously wouldn't fit the archbishop's aesthetic.
In contrast, the [Paladin . Philein ] and [Paladin . Sophia] summoned by David Leonard had full holy church characteristics.
The two [Paladins], which were almost identical, would trigger an aura called [Philosophy] when they appeared at the same time.
Within the range of this aura, the magical spirit of the [Knight] series would receive an additional 100 points of magic energy buff.
Amongst the three stats, magic energy buff was usually considered inferior to the attack buff and defense buff.
However, the magic cards of the [Knight] series generally had very low magic energy. With the [Philosophy] aura, this deficiency could be slightly offset.
And David Leonard's [Knight] series was mainly based on the composition of auras.
Through the stacking of different auras, the strength of the knights could be evenly improved, so that they could win the battle as a team.
Basically, this was David Leonard's tactical system.
[Paladin . Philein ] and [Paladin . Sophia] were both 3-star magical spirits, but they were inferior to White's [Troll] in all stats except defense.
So at the beginning of the duel, David Leonard had a slight advantage.
But when the second round started, David Leonard summoned [Beast Rider . Wind] and [Beast Rider . Violent], forming a [Storm] aura, which gave all the magical spirits of the [Knight] series an additional 100 points of attack.
The situation began to slowly turn around.
In the third round, David Leonard summoned [Beast Rider . Rage].
The combination of [Beast Rider . Rage] and [Beast Rider . Violent] formed the [Wrath] aura, which gave all magical spirits of the [Knight] series another additional 100 points of attack.
Then the group of riders composed of these six [Knights] defeated White's [Troll]!
Even if [Troll] used [Double-Edge], it only took out one [Knight], but it didn't hurt the opponent at all.
And White was barely holding on with the rest of the magical spirits.
By the fifth round, White finally had [Forbidden Love] and [Radiant Python] in his hands.
With the appearance of [Radiant Python], the archbishop, who had a gloomy expression, finally regained a little patience.
It was a magical spirit of the light attribute after all.
But even though [Troll] was surrounded and taken out by the "Knights", [Radiant Python] naturally wouldn't be able to do much.
With [Radiant Python]'s large-scale ultimate - Holy Light, White barely managed to kill two 2-star [Beast Rider] before being surrounded and killed.
In the sixth round, White used [Forbidden Love] to turn [Paladin . Philein ] against other knights, slightly improving his situation.
However, although he made it through this round, because he had no stronger magic cards in his hand, he didn't see any chance of winning.
All he could do now was to survive as long as possible.
Being strapped for credits prevented him from crafting a new magic card this week.
And the research on [Holy Sword Spell] was still in the early stages.
Most of his time was devoted to his schoolwork and the occasional relaxation using magic chess.
Knight House didn't have after-school lessons from Teacher Dark Demon, and the math class exam paper stumped most of the Knight House first-year students who were not so smart.
Toward the end of the duel.
David Leonard glanced at the 4-star magical spirit in his hand and sighed slightly.
He could have sacrifice-summoned a 4-star magical spirit in the first few turns to complete the crushing victory.
But in the end, he didn't do that. He only relied on the stacking of the auras of the first-tier magical spirits to fight to this point.
At first, he was worried that his level was not enough to be the touchstone for the son of the Brave One, but he did not expect that the level of the son of the Brave One was lower than he expected.
No.
It should be that Dark Demon's duel previously had suddenly raised his expectations for the son of the Brave One too much.
In fact, White's level was still above the average.
It just didn't stand out that much.
After all, he was only a first-year student who had just been studying in the academy for less than a year, so he shouldn't expect too much.
Moreover, it was said that the Brave One Bright also wasn't a top student with good grades in his student days. Maybe the Brave One's bloodline would reveal its full potential late like those students of the Fool House.
David Leonard won the duel easily while making excuses for White.
After the whistle was blown, the referee declared his victory.
There was sporadic applause outside the arena.
And David Leonard felt sudden bouts of dullness.
...
In the spectator stand, the seats where Prince Charles and the Archbishop had been sitting were already empty.
They certainly wouldn't arbitrarily reject someone's potential just by virtue of a Rookie League performance.
However, the policy previously formulated may need to be slightly adjusted.
...
Princess Eliza and Valkyrie Alvette did not leave the spectator stand yet.
As the saying goes boys take after their fathers.
Alvette was well aware of the former Brave One's performance in his student days; so she was not surprised.
At least, his character didn't seem to be bad.
The eldest princess on the other hand was seriously considering whether she should continue to compete with the holy church for the support of the son of the Brave One.Please vote for this novel at
