Chapter 46: Dark Demon Ends the Match
Vit and Robert, who were lost and in despair, turned into wind-etched statues.
However, the atmosphere of the match was heated up by Vit and Emma’s lively performances.
…
Third round: 20 to 10.
The original four groups became two groups competing simultaneously.
When Dark appeared on stage again, a crowd of young girls quickly gathered outside the arena.
These girls were mainly from the Noble Academy but also included students from the other three academies.
Especially the girls from the Mana Academy, they found it hard to resist someone who was smart, disciplined, and handsome, as if they stepped out of a book, despite being the same age.
Of course, they were still in that innocent age where even touching fingertips could make them blush for a long time, simply being attracted.
In the arena.
Dark looked at the student from the Knight Academy, once again giving no chance to his opponent.
Although this made the match less entertaining, such a clean victory had its own charm.
…
Fourth round: 10 to 5.
There was no exception.
…
Third round: 5 to 3.
The five contestants were Dark and Diana from the Noble Academy, Emma from the Knight Academy, Sarah Swati and another male student from the Mana Academy.
Dark was lucky enough to have a bye, and the two students from the Mana Academy faced off against Diana and Emma.
However, neither of the Mana Academy students managed to clear the high wall.
Sarah Swati from the Mana Academy showed great strength, yet she still lost to Emma, falling short with regret.
The other male student was overwhelmed by Diana’s violent attacks!
…
Fourth round: 3 to 2.
This time, Diana was blessed by the Fates.
Therefore, the semifinals would be between Dark and Emma!
Even though this was only a semifinal for 3 to 2, it was seen as the final by the students of the Knight Academy and Noble Academy!
It decided whether the champion would come from the Knight Academy or the Noble Academy!
This intense matchup drew everyone’s attention.
Even Vit and Robert, who were nearly fossilized, came back to life!
Regardless of any grievances towards Emma, they still stood by the Knight Academy.
Under the watchful eyes of all the students from the four academies, Professor Jones personally took the role of referee.
Dark and Emma entered the arena and took their positions as duelists.
Duelists could draw cards during the standby phase, so both Dark and Emma held their sole “Magical Beast” card in hand.
Dark’s face remained expressionless.
Emma, however, seemed visibly nervous.
“Dark Demon!” Emma suddenly mustered her courage and said.
Dark, although puzzled, gave her his attention.
But Emma clenched her teeth and finally spat out, “I won’t lose to you!”
Dark was taken aback, wanting to say, “Have we ever interacted?”
But he ultimately refrained from saying anything that would embarrass her.
Dark: “I saw your efforts.”
Emma: “? ?”
…
“There will be time to talk after the match, keep your focus and concentrate on the game.”
Professor Jones interrupted their exchange, starting the battle countdown.
Both of these students had given her a lot of pleasant surprises in this class, and she was eager to know who would emerge victorious.
Would it be Dark, who advanced without suspense due to his superior summoning skills?
Or would it be Emma, who reached this point with the help of two additional Mana Cards?
Seeing the growth of the students beyond expectations might just be the joy of being a teacher!
She raised her hand, and fireworks began their three-second countdown in the center of the arena!
3! 2! 1!
Go!
Fully focused and racing!
Without a doubt, Dark summoned his “Magical Beast” first.
But this time, it was different from any other occasion.
Eevee did not immediately rush towards the opponent but trotted over to the center of the arena.
As Emma summoned the “Magical Beast: Otter” at 11.5 seconds, Eevee stood on its hind legs and stretched its paw towards the otter.
The otter, with an intelligence level of 2.0, took a moment before reacting and let out a series of “squeaks.”
“Eeevee!”
Eevee extended its paw and waved.
The otter cautiously approached the center of the arena.
Two Mana Golems, both with 100 attack and defense, of similar size, began a close standoff in the center.
“Squeak!”
The otter opened its mouth to intimidate!
“Eeevee?”
Eevee tilted its head, using its “cute” tactic.
The otter immediately grinned and squeaked with laughter.
Thus, Eevee calmly walked past it, taking light steps toward Emma’s Mana Guidance Ball.
Emma instinctively paused, then realized Dark had used a new Mana Card!
“What kind of Mana Card is this?”
Seeing the water otter, which could only laugh and was completely out of combat, Emma’s mind nearly froze.
She couldn’t just sit and wait.
She immediately drew her strongest card—”Golden Treasure Chest!”
With “Gold Coins X3” losing its effect, only this “Golden Treasure Chest” could bring her a glimmer of hope.
However, her summoning cooldown was 15 seconds, unlike Dark, who compressed his cooldown to within 8 seconds. She needed a brief wait before she could use a new Mana Card.
By the time her summoning cooldown reset, Eevee had already pressed its paw onto the Mana Guidance Ball—just like every previous time!
“Smack!”
One paw…
Mana Guidance Ball’s mana value -100.
“Smack!”
Another paw…
Mana Guidance Ball’s mana value -100.
“Otter, pull yourself together!” Emma finally shouted.
The otter, seemingly hearing her, broke free from the “Joy Card” and instantly fired a “Water Gun”!
But Eevee blocked the Mana Guidance Ball with its paw.
“Bang!”
Mana Guidance Ball’s mana value -100.
Yet the Mana Guidance Ball was also knocked away by the impact of the “Water Gun.”
“Now’s our chance!”
Emma seized the opportunity and activated the “Golden Treasure Chest” with her summoning spell!
At 11.5 seconds, a chest full of gold appeared in the arena!
But Eevee, without realizing, had already puffed up its chest, filled with arrogance.
When the Golden Treasure Chest appeared, it merely smirked and walked past it gracefully, then slapped the Mana Guidance Ball.
“Smack!”
Mana Guidance Ball’s mana value -100.
When the otter returned, it was already raising its paw again!
“Smack!”
…
There was no direct confrontation.
No clash between Mana Golems.
Only the crisp, ear-piercing sound of “smacks.”
Dark ended the match without even using “Arrogance II.”
He put Eevee back into the card and placed it along with the “Joy Card” and “Arrogance I” into the Mana Card Deck, then turned and left.
It felt as if…
This semifinal was no different from the warm-up match.
Indeed, it was.
First-year students’ levels were too low.
When Emma used two Mana Cards, he had already used three!
This made the duel seem meaningless.
Due to the bizarre nature of the entire process, the audience outside the arena didn’t react until he left, and then scattered applause gradually grew louder, shaking the venue!
…
The final match was even more meaningless.
Diana’s summoning speed was fast, but she failed to summon within 13 seconds. Even her most proud polar bear couldn’t be summoned, and the match was over.
…
Finally, even Professor Jones couldn’t help but cover her forehead.
Such a match was unprecedented in her teaching career.
The disparity was too great!
