"Isn't that Senior Irving's girlfriend?" Amidst the nearby crowd, the idle Robert suddenly spotted Maggie while he was glancing around the place and spontaneously whispered to White.
White turned his head for a look and felt rather puzzled. "It really is her. I previously thought Senior Irving was rejected after confessing with his chocolate, but after hearing what he said, it seems like they broke up instead. Why would she come here to watch the battle?"
Robert said in a low voice, "How could a relationship between a man and a woman be so simple? If they didn't break up, how would they get back together again?"
"This…"
White was stunned into silence.
So you could actually get back together after breaking up!?
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked Robert, "Wait a second, do you think Senior Irving will have the chance to get back with his girlfriend if he wins this duel?"
Robert stroked his chin and thought about it, but then shook his head, pretending to sound experienced. "I don't think so. Perhaps only if he loses will he get the chance to get back together with her!"
White: "Why is that so?"
Robert: "You listen, I'll explain it carefully…"
……
Leaving aside White and Robert who were theorising without basis, Professor Lily, Pandora and the others were completely focused on Dark.
Professor Lily simply thought that this would be entertaining, while Pandora felt that Dark's victory should be a matter of course.
On the other hand, Rose and Dianna were a little worried.
Dianna put her Panda familiar spirit on top of her head and anxiously stared at the arena. She didn't get any of the explanations about this street duel thing.
But there was one thing she understood, and it was that Dark had never done this type of duel before!
As a beginner, he certainly knew nothing about the setups particular to this duel.
This would make it easy for his opponent to exploit his unfamiliarity and catch him off-guard.
So although she firmly believed in Dark, she still couldn't help worrying about him.
And Rose was essentially thinking the same way as her.
The two of them couldn't help but to feel worried.
……
Under everyone's gaze, both Dark and Irving proceeded to move backwards.
There were no rules in street duels, so naturally, there was also no arena restriction.
Keeping their distance was a habit formed from duelling.
When they were about ten metres away from the stone table in the middle, both of them finally made a gesture of approval to each other.
In such a situation, the street duel instantly began!
Dark immediately put his hand into his card pouch, and the pulsating magic energy on his fingertips rapidly swam towards the side of his magic cards. This was where "long-range transmission and control of magic energy("魔力的远程传导与控制)" played its part.
As a medium to contain magic energy, magic cards could entirely be controlled with this technique.
With magic energy, he could identify the specific type of a magic card, and then draw it out using "long-range transmission and control of magic energy".
This was a basic skill a qualified magister must possess.
In this way, they would only need a wisp of magic energy to draw the magic card into their hands.
As of present, Dark's proficiency had yet to reach that level, but after putting his hand into his card pouch, he was able to immediately and accurately pick out the magic card he wanted from a full deck of magic cards—[Hawlucha]!
And then, he broke into a sprint and ran without stopping!
There were some things you should know about even when you hadn't experienced it for yourself.
Since you were allowed to attack your opponent during a street duel, wouldn't you be practically waiting for death if you only stood in place?
Therefore, it was only right to run first!
Yet just as he started running, his Normal Summoning Spell was successfully cast!
The entire summoning process took only two seconds!
In the blink of an eye, [Hawlucha]'s magic card lit up.
Among all of Dark's magical spirit cards, aside from [Meowth] who wasn't bound to [Wonderland], [Hawlucha] was the one who had the best mobility!
In a street duel without rules, the importance of mobility was indisputable.
And thus, a half-hawk beast who looked as though it was wearing a wrestling mask jumped out of the magic card!
……
On the other hand, Irving's summoning speed was noticeably slower than Dark's!
Although the lag of one second was insignificant in this situation, the speed of Irving's Normal Summoning Spell had obviously been compressed to its utmost limit of 3 seconds!
The fact that Dark's summoning speed was even faster than his meant that he had broken through the limit!
This contained an implication that wasn't as simple as it looked on the surface.
Among the people present, many had noticed this point, but few thought deeply about it.
Similarly, the battle between the two sides certainly didn't come to a standstill because of this one second gap.
In a flash of a second, right as Dark took a step forward, a pool of mud appeared on the ground below his other foot!
Had he been just a little slower, his feet would've sunk into the mud.
Even if he didn't have to withdraw from the match since he was still capable of fighting, he would've been shackled by the mud and basically be reduced from a moving target to a stationary target. After which, a gale-like strike would be launched upon him, forcing him to leave the battlefield!
Only two [magic spell cards] were needed to complete this combination of attacks!
And this was already the result of holding back due to their location in the school grounds.
Otherwise, a single [magic spell card] would've been used to directly strike the opponent. As long as it hit the target, the duel would immediately come to an end.
Irving certainly didn't expect that Dark would actually forestall his attack. After summoning the mud spell, he couldn't help feeling stunned for a moment.
So much so that when Dark had moved on to summon his second spell, Irving was still holding onto the magic spell card he had prepared beforehand—[Hanging Sword]!
Within that brief delay, Hawlucha, the first magical spirit to appear on the scene, had already leaped halfway across the distance.
Its claws landed on one of the stone tables, leaving behind extremely deep claw marks on the hard stone surface. Making use of the reaction force from the impact, it took off once again, closing in almost in an instant.
When Irving came back to his senses, he kept his calm.
Instead of switching his magic card, he directly summoned the [Hanging Sword]!
Following the completion of the Normal Summoning Spell, a strong wind abruptly blasted in midair and condensed into the shape of a sword.
When Irving pointed forward with the magic card grasped in his hand, the [Hanging Sword] descended through the air and ferociously stabbed into the ground!
The [Hanging Sword] that was originally supposed to be aimed at the duelist was now being used to stop Hawlucha from advancing.
"Hawcha!"
With its flight path abruptly obstructed by the condensed gale of the [Hanging Sword], Hawlucha reflexively cried out and hurriedly halted.
Under the force of the gale, the feathers on its wings quivered uncontrollably, making it difficult to fly.
But while Hawlucha was blocked by the [Hanging Sword], a small grey shadow darted in a flash and bypassed the [Hanging Sword] through the side untouched by its gale, rushing towards Irving like a gust of wind!
It was the magical spirit that had been summoned even earlier than [Hanging Sword]—[Meowth]!
As a 3-star magical spirit with a maximum attack stat, Meowth's speed was ranked the first amongst all of Dark's magical spirits.
Although it wasn't registered in [Wonderland], Dark could spare enough time to summon it because Hawlucha was taking away the attention.
What happened within the first few seconds of the duel had all been essentially predicted by him!
The third magical spirit he would be summoning next was DemiDevimon!
Along with [DemiDevimon], [Pride Ⅲ] was also already grasped in his hand.
While it was true that his weakness lay in his lack of powerful magic spell cards, the magical spirits' ultimate moves could effectively make up for this shortcoming.
Once he summoned [Devimon], he would acquire the ultimate power to end this duel without rules!
The entire duel happened at lightning speed.
When Irving was controlling the [Hanging Sword], he couldn't divide his attention for another summon.
But the moment he waved his hand, the [Hanging Sword] instantly whirled and swung horizontally after it was hauled out from the ground!
With this slash, an extremely strong wall of wind was formed in an instant and successfully blocked Meowth's ambush!
Seeing the formidable power of the [Hanging Sword], Dark couldn't help frowning a little, his fingers twitching with a tremble.
If it weren't for Hawlucha's quickness, if it hadn't been enough of a threat to pressure Irving, then the [Hanging Sword] would've been hanging right on top of his head!
But after the [Hanging Sword] unleashed that wall of wind, its magic energy was rapidly depleted, leaving behind only a thin shadow.
It had basically run out of energy.
At the same time, a third magic card appeared in Irving's hand. Thereupon, he began to run and transform.
After the [Mud Trap] failed and he was forced to use the [Hanging Sword] to guard himself, he had now fallen into an unfavourable situation.
Not having a [magical spirit] in his starting hand meant that he had no shield to protect him from his opponent.
But the summoning of his third magic card would solve this problem.
"Armour, Transform!"
Irving firmly pressed his third magic card to his chest.
In an instant, rays of light burst out from his chest and enveloped his body like a silk cocoon, intertwining to form a full body armour!
Equipment Card and Armour Card were the true core magic cards of street duels.
Mike Irving ran as he was transforming. The soft metal armour wrapped his body from head to toe, and in the position of his eyes were a pair of red eye-patches that looked like the compound eyes of an insect. A magic energy core in the form of a shining red ruby laid in the centre of his chest.
The instant he successfully transformed, the Armour Card continuously absorbed a large amount of magic energy.
Although he was feeling light as a feather and no longer needed to fear the melee attacks of 3-star magical spirits, the current situation was a far cry from what he wished to achieve.
