Chapter 159 Dark Demon Is Having Fun

***edited by x10***

[Phantom Magic Beast] was usually a one-star card with 100 points of magic energy, attack, and defense, while the base power of [Magic Bullet Spell] was 100 points.

Although the power of [Magic Bullet Spell] would increase with the infusion of magic energy, the actual damage it would do was still small because of the defense of the magic beast. Hence [Magic Bullet Spell] alone could not finish off the [Phantom Magic Beast].

An additional final blow was needed to finish the [Phantom Magic Beast] off, and Eevee was already locked on it.

When Siegward's Phantom Magic Beast was knocked down from the sky, Eevee casually gave it a final blow!

...

As the two magical spirits were destroyed one after another, Siegward bit his teeth slightly and summoned his last magical spirit - the magical spirit he refined using the "basic refining method" in class!

This magical spirit with only one star also failed to escape the ravages of Eevee-chan and was quickly taken out.

...

"The battle is over!"

"Winner: Dark Demon."

As Siegward's all three magical spirits were destroyed, Professor Jones judged that Siegward would no longer be able to stop Dark's attack on Magic Ball and decided the outcome immediately.

[End Phase]

The words displayed directly above the table changed again.

If it were a normal duel, the following segment should be the communication (mockery), packing up cards, and the declaration of victory.

The winner would be interviewed and the announcement would be made.

The losers would leave some words like "You got lucky this time".

Then the duel would formally end.

But the atmosphere of the game in class was less aggressive.

Siegward left the stage early with a sad face.

Dark also packed up the cards and stepped down after the victory.

...

"How is it, how does it feel to win the duel?" Professor Jones watched Dark walk back and asked.

Dark sighed slightly, "It's alright, just kind of boring."

Professor Jones nodded: "Indeed, this is not an evenly matched duel, maybe the second-year game is more suitable for you."

Dark was slightly startled: "Second year?"

...

With Dark successfully advancing to the next round, 9 to 5 ended.

Then the match advanced to the fourth round, 5 to 4.

Professor Jones let Dark advance to the next round without competing again, and the match became 4 into 3.

The remaining four players first faced off against each other to determine the two winners, and then the two losers competed for the final spot to advance to the next round.

When the first stage was completely over, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Professor Jones gathered the Noble House students and said loudly: "The first stage of the competition is over. The winners should keep working hard and the losers should not be discouraged. No dueler will remain undefeated forever. As a professor, I hope you all can gain valuable lessons from this competition. Next, I'll announce the list of people who are going to complete the next round. First, Dark Demon!"

Dark, who had only made one appearance, stood up.

"Dianna Great Bayer!"

Dianna slowly walked to Dark's side.

"Teddy Doron!"

The red-haired boy held his head high, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Johnny Yorkson!"

A tall, thin man who was more than half a head taller than his peers stepped out.

Professor Jones glanced at them and nodded with satisfaction: "The four of you will represent our Noble House in the second stage of the duel competition in the afternoon. I won't say much. One of you needs to return with the championship."

"Yes!" Doron's confident response resounded through the arena.

The other three opened their mouths but didn't say anything. The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Professor Jones giggled and clapped her hands: "Next, you have an hour and a half to eat and rest. At 2:30, you all need to gather here again. Dismiss!"

...

The little magisters immediately dispersed.

Rose trotted over to hang out with Dianna and Dark.

The three chatted on the way to the cafeteria.

Even though it was one o'clock in the afternoon, the food in the cafeteria was still plentiful.

Halfling chefs always kept meals above a certain temperature to maintain the best possible taste.

After Dark ordered a few dishes, he sat down at an empty table.

After a while, Dianna and Rose arrived after ordering and took their seats.

The three of them ate lunch together just like what they had been doing over the past three months.

Dianna stuffed a piece of roast lamb into her mouth and asked with a muffled voice, "Dark, how was my performance today?"

Dark thought for a moment.

Dianna's performance was indeed quite good among the Noble House first-year students.

Her Bear series magical spirits were already powerful enough. In addition, she not only had magical spirit cards from "card gambling", but also a few additional magic spell cards.

Especially the card - [Bear's Power] which actually helped her turn the tide in the final duel of the first stage!

So Dark nodded: "very well."

Dianna was a little embarrassed and proud after hearing his approval. She couldn't help but want to tell her "little secret".

But Dark raised his index finger and reminded: "The magic card refining method cannot be told to other people at will. For magisters, every secret refining method is a huge treasure."

"It's alright." Dianna didn't care that much. "I just found it from the notes in a book and followed the notes to make it. But I didn't expect that it would actually work."

Dark said with a stern face, "But it is still an opportunity that only belongs to you."

Dianna: "Okay..."

Rose looked at the two of them repeatedly, unable to hold back her smile.

...

A little over two o'clock in the afternoon.

The little magisters who should have been shopping around in Traveller Street were in the dueling hall ①.

The four professors gathered to discuss the morning competition and commented on the students in their respective Houses.

As the conversation progressed, they inevitably focused on a few key people.

Claire, who was in charge of the Fool House students, sighed a little: "This year's Fool House students still need time to grow. Even in my student days, the talents of all Fool House students needed time to blossom and bear fruit."

Professor Lily glanced at her; "Like Peter Sheldwich?"

Professor Silver glared at her quickly and said: "Sheldwich was indeed a role model for the students of Fool House. By the way, Lily, Magister House seems to have some outstanding students this year??"

Lily smiled: "Yes, our Dark Demon is outstanding."

Professor Jones rolled her eyes: "He doesn't belong to your house, okay?"

Lily instead said proudly: "Yes, but he is my favorite student."

Claire frowned.

Professor Silver said helplessly: "Jokes aside, how is Sara Swati's performance?"

Professor Lily showed a serious expression: "She has improved and has reached the level where she is applying her knowledge to practice. Isn’t it said that she is the granddaughter of the Sage of Ancients?"

Claire lightly interjected, "It's his daughter."

Lily was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of disbelief on her face: "No way! The Sage of Ancients is way too old!"

Claire: "Have you heard of the phrase Old but strong?"
