　"Why think so much? Let's celebrate first. We can worry about tomorrow tomorrow." Edwin Clarissa patted her companion on the shoulder, grabbed a bottle of grape juice from the table, and gulped it down like it was wine.

　We won, but not completely.

　The results of the dungeon battles can basically reflect the strength comparison between the various academies.

　This comparison of strength will ultimately be revealed in next week's duel.

　Judging from the performance of each grade in the dungeon battle, the duel battle next week will likely face a huge challenge!

　But as Edwin said, that's something to think about tomorrow.

　Tonight, just celebrate!

　Chapter 1042 Darkdemon, Choosing an Opponent (4k)

　That's how competitions are; some are happy, some are sad.

　While the nobles celebrated wildly, the contestants from the other three academies were feeling frustrated.

　Therefore, they quickly left the banquet hall, which gradually became the domain of the nobles.

　The students talked and laughed, becoming increasingly happy and unrestrained.

　Dak also relaxed and joined his classmates in the joy. More than half an hour later, they moved to the common room in the tower of the House of Nobles.

　There, another group of students awaited their triumphant return. Doron and the others surrounded him, asking what had happened in the underground city. He was quite tired, so he only gave a few casual words before pointing to the still energetic Diana.

　Those around them understood and squeezed into the group of girls, listening to Diana happily recount what had happened.

　Dark and Rose managed to slip out and headed upstairs.

　But as soon as Dak reached the second floor, he saw Aurora carrying a bowl of chicken soup.

　Rose was lucky enough to get a share of the profits.

　But after finishing that bowl of chicken soup, an unbearable drowsiness surged up over me.

　She said goodbye to Dark and Aurora and returned to her dormitory. Dark had drunk a little too much and chatted with Aurora about what had happened in the dungeon.

　But after he finished the chicken soup, Aurora said with a smile, "I'm almost done. I need to go back and wash the dishes and go to bed early; I have class tomorrow."

　"Good night then." Dark saw Aurora to the door.

　"Goodnight." Aurora waved with one hand and left. Dark smiled helplessly, closed the door, went back to his room, and then soaked in the bathtub.

　About half an hour later, he crawled into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

　The night passed quietly. The next morning...

　Dak woke up to the alarm clock, quickly checked the time, and then suddenly relaxed.

　It was still early, so he sat up slightly and began to slowly organize his thoughts. The dungeon battle was over just like that.

　But just as the older students worried.

　The final results of the dungeon battle competition basically revealed the strength of each academy.

　The students of this year's Noble Academy, as a whole... well, not quite as a whole, but at the top level in their respective grades, are clearly slightly inferior to those of the Magic Academy.

　Of the five grades participating in the Academy Cup, only the second-year students had a relatively clear advantage.

　But he was just one person after all, and it was impossible for him to stand in for the older students and fight against their peers.

　In the dungeon battles, he was able to suppress other academy teams and raise the overall score.

　However, in duels, he could only do his own thing and found it difficult to lead the team.

　The dueling tournament is divided into two parts: duels within the same grade and duels against opponents of a higher grade. He has three matches in the duels within the same grade.

　He was confident in all three matches, but even if he won, he would only get 30,000 points.

　In the fight against opponents of a higher level, he only had one match.

　To get the most points in this competition, you have to challenge a sixth-grade student!

　If he comes back, he can gain 40,000 points in one go. In other words, it can make up for four losses.

　If this line of thinking is followed, the House of Nobles still has a good chance of winning in the end.

　After all, in the dungeon battle, he helped the Noble Academy gain a lead of 130,000 points over the Magic Academy.

　This means that in the duel, the Noble Academy can win as long as its final score is not more than 30,000 points higher than the Magic Academy.

　This margin of error is still very crucial.

　But what Dark ultimately wanted was to ensure the Noble House's ultimate victory, even if he lost a duel against a higher-ranking opponent.

　Only in this way could he challenge Senior Pandora without any scruples. But now it seems that that is indeed difficult to do.

　"Never mind, there's always another time..."

　Dark's vision was always long-term, so he wasn't overly fixated on this. He squinted, considering whether he should start gathering information about the sixth-grade contestants in advance.

　Aside from the Noble Academy, there are three other contestants from the sixth grade.

　One of them is Noah Sharp, the "Black Baron" of the Knights Academy. But challenging Noah Sharp is not much different from challenging Senior Pandora.

　If he wants to win, the sixth-year students from the Magic Academy and the Fool's Academy are the ones he should choose.

　As a person who prioritizes reason over emotion, Dark would not challenge Noah Sharp for baseless reasons.

　If he really needs to earn those 40,000 points, he will definitely choose one from the sixth-year students of the Magic Academy and the Fool's Academy.

　Of course, you have to watch the game first.

　Perhaps the sixth-year students from the Magic Academy and the Noble Academy will suddenly unleash their full potential just before graduation, becoming even stronger than Noah Sharp.

　Therefore, he certainly wouldn't directly attack its edge.

　"Sixth grade, fifth grade... well, let's collect as many as possible."

　Dak patted his forehead, feeling slightly tired.

　It's said that older people should protect younger people from the wind and rain, so why can't the senior students at the academy of nobles be a little more responsible?

　The gap wasn't that big last year. "Is it because of the influence of role models?"

　"The Knights Academy has Noah Sharp, and the Noble Academy has Senior Sister Pandora and Senior Sister Winnie."

　"As role models for older students, they can indeed motivate students to grow to a certain extent."

　"And the House of Nobles..."

　Dark himself is a role model, but he is only a sophomore, so his influence on the upperclassmen is limited.

　Among the upperclassmen, Edwin Clarissa, who should have been a role model and set an example, was someone who lacked "sharpness".

　In this light, his leading role may not have been as significant as that of Angus Jeffrey, the former president of the Society for the Study of Aristocratic History.

　Edwin Clarissa might be able to provide a better academic life for the students of the Noble Academy, but this is, after all, a magic academy.

　Students should not only seek enjoyment, but also strive to grow through competition.

　In terms of outcomes, Edwin Clarissa did not lead the House of Lords to its peak.

　After getting up, Dark went to the "Summoning" classroom. However, with only one week left before the exam week, Professor Sylph only covered a few key points in class and left the time for the students to do on their own.

　Having already reviewed the material beforehand, Dark picked up the research he had paused last week again—the targeted transmutation of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"!

　The same applies to the subsequent "Theory of Magic" and "Potion Studies".

　But after the third class, Dak was stopped by members of the Noble History Research Society on his way back to the dormitory.

　The senior student, who was probably a fourth-year student, handed him a detailed list of contestants from various colleges.

　Emmm...

　While this did save him the trouble of searching for information himself, Dak always felt a mix of emotions when he received the document.

　Who would give all the information on the senior students to a second-year student at this time?

　"Senior Edwin Clarissa... does he have absolutely no confidence in the other contestants?"

　"Things might be worse than we think..."

　Dak suddenly realized that his seniors seemed to have pinned all their hopes on him, and he immediately felt immense pressure.

　Although, he will definitely do his best for it.

　But if only he wins, it's completely useless. The Academy Cup is, after all, a team competition between academies, not an individual event!

　"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about these things now."

　"If I can master the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' before the dueling tournament, I'll have a very good chance of winning even against sixth-year students."

　"The rest is up to the senior students themselves."

　Dak put away the documents and quickened his pace as he walked toward the Tower of the Noble House.

　We arrived at dormitory 301.

　Dak put down his bag and first took out the documents. A thick stack of documents filled an entire folder. He opened the folder and took out the documents to examine them.

　All the materials were neatly stacked according to grade and college. Among them were not only materials from fifth and sixth-grade students, but also... materials from second-year students!

　After a moment's thought, Dak picked up the second-year materials and started by looking at them.

　The second-grade contestants were all familiar classmates.

　In fact, during the gathering inside the House of Nobles that night, Edwin Clarissa briefly pointed out the names of the contestants from each house participating in the dueling tournament, but she did not provide details.

　Now, as Dark flipped through the documents, the first thing he looked at was the second-year Knight Academy. Only one participant could compete in the duel tournament, but the second-year Knight Academy had two candidates—Emma Metis and Vit Gold.

　Dark actually thinks Emma is more promising.

　However, the player who ultimately represented the second-year Knight Academy in this year's dueling tournament was Victor Gold.

　But this is understandable.

　Witt's dueling skills are not weak. He has grown greatly since returning from the Holy Mystic Academy. It is normal for him to gain the support of his classmates and obtain a spot.

　Furthermore, although Dark didn't pay attention, he could guess that Witt must have had a duel with Emma, ​​which ultimately led to the current outcome.

　However, Witt didn't have much time to demonstrate his abilities after returning to school. Therefore, the document in Dark's possession didn't reveal much, and the key information mainly revolved around his holy sword.

　Or rather, it's the "Holy Sword Curse"!

　Unlike Dark, Witt did not forge the holy sword he obtained from the trial of the sword in the stone into a magic card.

　However, after obtaining the "Holy Sword," his understanding of the "Holy Sword Curse" underwent a qualitative change.

　He was able to materialize the "Holy Sword" using the "Holy Sword Spell" and use it as a magic card in duels.

　"Holy Sword Spell" is both a magic card and an equipment card, and it is a type of magic card that exploits a loophole in the rules.

　Even standing on the contestant's platform, Witt can still control the holy sword manifested by the "Holy Sword Spell" to slay enemies.

　However, such loopholes will become meaningless once new rules are introduced.

　He might be able to gain an advantage with this now... it's actually just a card similar to "Sword Sheath".

　After reading his information, Dark continued to scroll down and then saw the contestants from the second-year Magic Academy.

　There were no surprises.

　The second-year Magic Academy contestant was Sara Swati. The information about Sara Swati's deck was very detailed. However, Dark, who knew her quite well, was unaware that the information was already outdated.

　Sarah's knowledge accumulation is unparalleled among second-year students, and given enough resources, it can be quickly transformed into combat power.

　The person she is now will be quite different from the person she will be a week from now.

　She will be a very strong opponent.

　Even Dark could be caught off guard and fail if he wasn't careful. Dark showed no arrogance; he then looked towards the second-year Fool's House. The Fool's House's participants were actually quite unexpected. The second-year Fool's House prefect was Vanessa Bolt. She was also leading the team in this Dungeon Fighter Tournament.

　However, the contestant in this year's duel is not one of those three, but a contestant who was originally very low-key - Klein Moretti.

　There isn't much information available about Klein Moretti.

　Because Klein Moretti rarely participates in duels, and has not shown any outstanding performances in the Silver and Gold Cups.

　If he hadn't represented the second-year Fools' House in the dueling tournament, Dark wouldn't have remembered this classmate at all.
