The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

After talking about some small rules that needed to be paid attention during dueling, Professor Jones took out a jar full of number plates and asked the students to draw one by one.

The little magisters stepped out one after another, reaching into the jar and drawing number plates.

Surprisingly, there were only 78 students in four houses who had actually completed the production of [phantom magic beast] within this week.

On average, there weren't even twenty people in each house!

Most of the remaining students were still at the stage of failing production and having to start accumulating credits to purchase material kits.

It felt like this was a trap deliberately set up by the Professors, to teach the first year-students who squandered their credits on the Traveller Street before making [phantom magic beast] a lesson.

In short, Dark didn't know if anyone else had learned the lesson, but White and Robert definitely learned their lessons...

As for whether they would change after being taught the lesson, that was another matter.

...

Dark walked to the jar and grabbed a number plate: ⑦.

"Uh, do I have a destined affinity with the number ⑦?"

Dianna approached him like usual, "Dark, what's your number?"

Dark, "No. 7, how about you?"

Dianna, "77, hehe!"

Rose, "55..."

"Those who have got the number plate, please inject magic energy, break the number plate apart, and then give the blue side to me."

Professor Jones took out an empty jar again and put the blue number plates from the students inside.

Only then did Dark notice that the number plate in his hand had two sides: red and blue. With a trace of magic energy injected, the red and blue card would lose its magnetic power and could be easily separated.

After handing in the blue number plate as ordered by Professor Jones, Dark held the red number plate and waited quietly.

The field in the center of the arena was divided into four equal parts, and Professor Jones placed two magic balls in each small field.

The students who did not have [phantom magic beast] were responsible for pouring magic energy into the magic ball and learning how to activate the life barrier.

Professor Jones chose four more people as referees.

"The game adopts a single elimination system: the winner advances, the loser leaves."

Professor Jones grabbed four pairs of number plates from the jar and then placed them on the side.

She turned over the number plates and said, "The players in the first round of the elimination match are: No. 6 vs No. 8, No. 3 vs 28, No. 66 vs No. 7, No. 49 vs No. 5. Please get ready to play ."

...

Dark glanced at the red No. 7 card in his hand, but he was not very worried.

In contrast, Dianna and Rose next to him seemed more nervous than him.

"Dark, you can do it! We will be rooting for you from the side!"

"You can do it!"

‘Why did they make it look like he was attending some kind of X factor talent show?'

Dark walked towards venue ③ with a gloomy face.

A total of eight people were fighting at the same time; some were calm, and some were nervous.

Dark glanced at his opponent. The number 66 player who walked to the same venue with him was a girl from Magister House. She had pigtails, big eyes, and a pale face.

He casually comforted the girl, "Don't be nervous, it's just an exercise."

"Okay, mhm." The girl gritted her teeth and clenched her hands.

The two of them came to the player position at both ends of the field.

The official game had a player platform, which allowed players to look at the game from a higher ground, but in here, of course there were only simple player positions drawn with white lines.

Dark stood in the contestant position and looked at the field.

The venue for this in-class competition simply borrowed the rules of the real venue, dividing the 1/6 of the venue close to the player's position into the summoning area.

This meant that the magical spirit's summoning area was limited, and the magical spirit could not be summoned directly on the opponent's field -that was, face-blocking summoning!

It was said that the old duels didn't have this rule, and the magisters often carried out "tactical summoning", which made the match very chaotic.

Some magisters would even use "sight interference tactics" to directly summon large-sized magical spirits before the opponent's face, blocking the vision...

Later, the rules gradually improved, and such farce became much less.

But human imagination never had limits, and there were still countless tricks to bypass the rules.

The referee of the field number ③ was Roentgen from Noble House.

"Hi."

Roentgen beckoned to Dark, looking very dispirited.

After all, acting as a referee was tantamount to public shaming.

But they could only blame themselves because they failed to produce [phantom magic beast] within a week.

Dark certainly remembered this classmate who went shopping early on Saturday morning.

It seemed that Roentgen had spent all the credits on Traveller Street, which eventually led to insufficient credits, which made him unable to buy more material packages for experimentation.

And his friend, Seevert, seemed to be the referee in the next field...

Dark smiled slightly.

For a formal duel, the card deck needed to be placed on the "card table" in the player field, and the magic cards would be enlarged by the magic projection mechanism to facilitate the audience to watch.

At the same time, there were also rules such as "on-site shuffling", "starting with 5 cards", "30 seconds 1 round", "drawing 2 cards each round" and many others.

The duel process was only divided into three phases;

①Preparation phase: Shuffling, communicating (taunting), starting

②Combat phase: drawing card, summons, fighting (beating)

③End phase: communicating (mocking), packing cards, speech

...

Of course, there were not so many rules in today's duel.

The pigtailed girl from the Magister House on the other side had even pinched the only one [phantom magic beast] card in her hand, nervously awaiting the referee's whistle.

Dark suddenly worried that she might even break it at this rate.

The magic balls of both sides had deployed the life barrier with a magic energy value of 500, and were now floating in front of each other.

Using magic energy to manipulate the magic ball in the air was an advanced technique, which wasn't in the teaching curriculum of first-year students.

Therefore, if they wanted to move the magic ball, they could only push it physically.

Roentgen: "Beep! Start preparing."

Dark took out [phantom magic beast: Eevee] from the card pouch, held it between the index finger and middle finger, and entered the preparation stage.

Roentgen: "The countdown to the battle begins, 30s!"

Roentgen: "...3, 2, 1, start!"

The moment the battle phase began.

"It's my turn! Magic summoning!"

Dark raised the magic card in an instant, and at the 8th second of the battle phase, he successfully summoned his own phantom magic beast!

Eevee-chan fell to the ground lightly and then began to spring like a gust of wind.

Just the 12th second since the beginning of the battle phase, it had already run across the dueling field that was merely 10 meters wide and used its paw to hold down the magic ball floating on the ground!

"Vee ω・`)?"

Tilting its head and looking at the little elder sister on the opposite side, Eevee-chan showed a cute expression.

Then, it smacked the ball four times in succession.

The girl with pigtails was overwhelmed by its cuteness and her magic energy was interrupted, so she hurriedly began to summon for the second time.

Eevee-chan waited patiently for her to summon her phantom magic beast, and then → struck the final blow to the magic ball.

"The battle is over!"

"Winner: Dark Demon."

Dark sighed, collected the card, and turned around.

‘Easy'

‘Boring'
