"Have you heard about it? Irving from the third year is going to duel against Demon from the first year!"

"Of course. Why would I be standing here otherwise?"

Bryan Mob looked at the student beside him with a face full of contempt. Since they started to know each other, he always felt that this classmate had nothing to offer but superfluous remarks.

Mike Irving and Dark Demon didn't conceal their conversation from others at all. Just like White and Robert, upon noticing the subtle atmosphere over on their side, the people who were walking nearby instinctively stopped in place to watch from the sidelines.

So of course they heard the whole thing.

Those who weren't interested continued to mind their own business, while those who were interested slowly gathered around together.

Duels between a third year and a first year were quite a rare thing—it only happened a few times a year.

In addition, Mike Irving and Dark Demon were both well-known students from Noble House.

Irving was actually one of the comparatively top-skilled students in the third year. He also had a bright track record in the duel arena.

And yet, such a person was going to duel against a first year student—if his opponent weren't Dark Demon, some righteous person would've most likely gone to forcibly intervene in this matter!

Ever since he defeated second-year Elvis Kevin in the Rookie League, Dark Demon's reputation had gone up by another level.

The students had long considered his strength to be on the same level as that of the third years.

So this duel, in the eyes of some people, was a completely equal contest between fellow third years.

Moreover, Professor Lily, who had just made a giant snowman, was here at the scene to watch over the situation.

In any event, this wasn't something the students had to worry about.

At this time, they should just treat this ruleless street duel as a tribute to Valentine's Day!

……

"Come, come, the more people the better!"

Angus Jeffrey stood on the side with his club members, his eyes glimmering.

In this duel, it didn't matter who would win or lose.

The main purpose was to establish an opposition against Dark.

It would be best if they could fight an exceptionally intense head-to-head battle to build up the momentum!

……

In front of everyone's eyes, Dark had just finished cleaning up the trash.

He somewhat regretted recalling the magical spirits too quickly just now—he originally wanted them to learn the awareness of cleaning up after their own trash.

Nevertheless, after handing the garbage bag to Rose, he dusted off his hands and looked at Senior Irving who had been waiting for quite a while.

He asked, "Senior, did the long wait make you feel any better?"

Irving replied with some doubts, "What are you talking about?"

Dark nonchalantly said, "After all, time can also heal your sorrow."

Irving answered in a low voice, "But duels are the only thing I have left in my life."

Dark chuckled. "Oh right, senior, there's something I still don't know until now. Since a street duel has no rules, how is the winner going to be determined? Even in the original duel mode, a magic ball was also used."

Irving explained, "In a street duel, you battle until the opponent admits defeat."

Dark inquisitively asked, "Didn't you say the duelists weren't allowed to fight?"

Irving put on a strange smile, "Of course the duelists can't directly fight, but I never said they couldn't be attacked."

Dark was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately understood, "I see, so that's what a street duel is!"

Irving continued, "But of course, in school, we must be aware not to cross the limits."

Dark nodded in understanding.

Ultimately, street duel was prefixed by the word 'street'. It was essentially an upgraded version of street fights.

There were no rules and no referees.

You could go to any length for the sake of victory.

On the surface, the duelists weren't allowed to fight, but since there were no rules and no referees, who would care about this point?

As long as it wasn't a public competition, targeting your duel opponent was the true essence of street duels!

It would be the time to bring Equipment Cards and Armour Cards into full play.

[I summon My Fist in attack mode—A Normal Punch!]

It would probably be something along that line.

Tricks like throwing lime, sulfuric acid, or the likes might even be used in order to get the upper hand.

……

However, they were currently in the academy, so the so-called 'street duel' would naturally pick up some constraints.

Dark patted the stone table beside him.

His understanding of 'no holds barred' was quite thorough.

"How about using this stone table as the dividing line?"

"Sure."

Irving glanced at the two stone tables. He felt like he had zero recollection of such things before.

So it turned out that there was such a nice resting place by the lake?

He composed himself a little, then reached out towards his card pouch.

In this duel against Dark Demon, he did have a chance of winning

A lot of the cards in Dark Demon's deck had already been exposed during the Rookie League.

In his opinion, Dark's core magic cards were the special enhancement cards, as well as his highly intelligent magical spirits.

In an unregulated street duel, Dark, who possessed that kind of special enhancement card, would be able to strengthen his second-tier magical spirits in very little time!

And although all of Dark's second-tier magical spirits were 4-stars, each of them was very good at fighting.

Therefore, it would be a fatal mistake to regard them as ordinary 4-star magical spirits.

But that was about it.

There were limitations in all kinds of aspects in relying solely on the deck of enhanced magical spirits.

As a top student in the third year, Irving's deck was very loaded and comprehensive.

He also had his own tactic for battling street duels.

"Since it's already begun."

"Then let me teach him a lesson today!"

Mike Irving's gaze turned sharp.

Although he said he was coming to make a fool of himself, no one would truly want to do that if they had a choice.

This duel—he wanted to win it!

……

At the back of the crowd, Irving's lover—Maggie Gaskell—was quietly standing there.

She actually understood Irving's predicament.

But understanding didn't mean she could accept it.

But after throwing the chocolate at him, she couldn't shake her concern about him.

So she returned back here again.

She had a bad feeling about this duel. She really wished Irving wouldn't lose the battle.
