Chapter 166 Sara Swati's Cat
***Edited by x10***
"Beep-"
Urged by the whistle, Dark and Dianna parted after encouraging each other.
The rest of the top eight players also came to their respective arenas according to the schedule.
Arena ①: No. ① vs. No. ⑨
Arena ②: No. ② vs. No. ⑮
Arena ③: No. ⑤ vs No. ⑩
Arena ④: No. ⑦ vs No. ⑭
...
The showdown between Dark and Sara obviously attracted the most attention.
More than half of the students in the audience chose to watch the game at arena ①.
Even White, who was defeated by Dianna, couldn't help but appear in the crowd with Robert.
He was deeply afraid of the fact that he was being gradually forgotten by the crowd.
He subconsciously started watching the excellent students duel to learn and replicate good ideas and tricks.
...
"Dark Demon - player 1 and Sara Swati - player 9! Given how good these two are, I don't think I need to introduce them too much. Please enter the contestant's platform!"
Professor Jones' voice was still loud and high-spirited.
Dark and Sara stepped onto the platform respectively.
After standing on the platform, Sara Swati activated the card table and called from a distance, "Hey."
Dark put his hand on the table, injected magic energy, and then responded in confusion: "Hey?"
Sara squinted and smiled: "The first semester is almost over, but this is the first time we talk to each other, right?"
Dark nodded slightly: "But it's not the first time we have seen each other."
Sara was dazed for a moment, then chuckled: "You are right. I should have known you earlier."
Dark put the deck into the card slot on the table: "It's still not too late."
Sara's expression gradually became solemn: "Let's get to know each other better in the duel!"
[Preparation Phase]
Dark and Sara's communication made the game a lot more interesting.
Although the students of Magister House were not as uncompetitive as those in the Fool House, there were not many students that would make them feel competitive because their class time was different from those of Knight House and Noble House.
Most of the Magister House students spent time in the library and almost wished that they could stay 25 hours a day in the library to read through all the books in the Saint Marian collection. They did not have much interaction with Knight House and Noble House.
Therefore, the relationship between Magister House and Noble House was not as hostile as Knight House and Noble House.
It was only when the top honor students of the two Houses stood in the duel arena at the same time, that spark of competitiveness burst out between the houses unstoppably!
"Even Swati can't be Demon's opponent. You won't understand how powerless one would be as his opponent if you haven't dueled with him." Doron shrugged, further emphasizing his position.
Less than two meters away from his circle, Sara's fans glared at him fiercely.
One of the girls with her black hair tied into two long braids and draped over her shoulders was particularly imposing: "Boys are always dumb. Sara will show you what she's capable of!"
Doron held his head high: "My upbringing doesn't allow me to say harsh words, but you know, this era is still dominated by men!"
Heidi: "That's about to be a thing of the past!"
Doron: "Preposterous!"
The two of them insisted on their own ideas, gradually deviating from the topic.
But the duel in the arena wasn’t going to wait because of them.
[30s]
The moment the automatic shuffling ended, the countdown to the preparation phase began.
The players on both sides had already switched their focus and were fully immersed in the duel.
Dark quickly drew five cards from the top of the deck.
▼
[Shuckle]
[Trash Slime]
[Gatomon]
[Manifestation Powder]
[Pride I]
▲
"So, the conditions for the tribute summoning have already been met."
Dark quickly estimated the possibility of summoning [Gatomon] using the tribute summoning in the first round.
When the 30s countdown of [Preparation Phase] ended, there would be a reminding sound.
Skilled duelers were particularly sensitive to this sound.
They relied on this sound to instantly confirm the start of each round.
[Battle Phase][30s]
The atmosphere in the arena suddenly changed!
"Magic summoning!"
Dark drew [Shuckle] from his hand and summoned it at an extremely fast speed!
It had only been less than an hour since the last duel.
Most people still had the impression of Shuckle blasting the head of Lesser Basarios with one punch. So this 3-star magical spirit card with 0 attack would no longer be underestimated.
And immediately after Dark, Sara also completed the summon!
A black cat about the size of Shuckle appeared in the blue party's summoning area!
The black cat had huge ears, and there was not a single hair on its body. In addition, there was an unspeakable strangeness in the golden cat's eyes.
...
[Card name: Sphynx Cat]
[Type: Spirit card]
[Level: ✪✪]
[Race: Bird & Beast-type]
[Attribute: Shadow]
[Magic Energy: 600]
[Attack: 600]
[Defense: 600]
[Ultimate: Shadow Tag]
...
Sphynx Cats were described in legends as cats from the underworld. Their ugly to almost deformed appearance made the ancient people's evaluation of them mostly untrue.
Over time, rumors turned into legends and the Sphynx Cat remained a symbol of bad luck.
The witches or sorceresses in the last century were very fond of Sphynx Cat. They believed that Sphynx Cat could take away the ominous aura and weaken the side effects after making a prediction.
Sara did not obtain This [Sphynx Cat] by "Gambling Cards".
She also rarely "gambled cards".
Traveller Street in Saint Marian had extremely rare materials that were hard to find even in the black market outside.
Relying on the crafting method inherited from the Sage of Ancients, Sara finally succeeded in crafting this two-star magical spirit card after Halloween.
Although she wasn't particularly happy with the card being just a blue color card, she still liked her [Sphynx Cat] very much.
Wise people would not judge things by their appearance.
[Sphynx Cat] was undoubtedly one of Sara's tactical core cards and a hidden trump card.
She had not summoned this card in public before.
But, as she was facing Dark Demon, she used this card without hesitation!
...
Although Shuckle was summoned faster than Sphynx Cat, Sphynx Cat was far more mobile than Shuckle!
When it just landed, it suddenly bounced up again, its body turning into a black arrow and rushing towards the opponent's field like a gust of wind!
Although Dark maintained a trace of vigilance, based on his trust in Shuckle, he only waited for the cooldown time to pass, and immediately began to summon [Trash Slime].
With 3-star [Shuckle] and 1-star [Trash Slime] as tributes, he could summon 4-star [Gatomon] using tribute summoning!
As long as [Gatomon] appeared, he would gain an overwhelming advantage.
However, the black hairless cat did not attack Shuckle, but stepped on Shuckle's shadow when Dark successfully summoned [Trash Slime]!
Its golden pupils released a dazzling light.
Shadow Tag, activate!

ReplyDeletethank you i was waiting for the chapter
ReplyDeleteThe moron from the magister house brought up irrelevant crap like gender first, so as far as in concerned they lost the argument. Also, did that twin tail forget Dark's mother is largely responsible for women having more say in things?
