Chapter 238 The Fight Between Two Noobs (2 in 1)
White also completely did not expect his opponent to be Scott! After watching Dark's game just now, his blood was boiling with excitement, and he was also looking forward to his own duel.
But why, the opponent would be Scott?
...
Seeing Scott entering from the Blue Player's platform, White couldn't help asking Robert, "Robert, what should I do now?"
Robert was at a loss: "What do you mean what you should do? This is a duel! Of course, give it all you got!"
White: "..."
White quickly realized that he had asked the wrong person.
Since the Christmas ball, Scott has become his guide, and the relationship between the two has progressed a lot.
Especially after encountering danger in the secret passage, they could be considered companions who had been through "death" together.
But Robert and Scott didn't get any closer.
White always felt that people could change, and if one recognized their mistakes and could correct them, then they should be forgiven. But he found that Robert didn't think so.
Be generous to friends, but ruthless towards the enemy. Maybe Robert just makes too many distinctions between friends and foes. But Senior Scott didn't do anything to him that was over the line to him, did he? White was confused.
Robert just sneered inwardly. People would grow up. Robert would no longer show all his reactions as he did at the beginning of the school year.
Seeing that White was still hesitant, Robert said casually, "Hurry up, the professors are watching."
White suddenly came back to his senses. Yes, the professors are watching. If I don't try my best in a duel, the professors will definitely be able to see it, and maybe my score will be lowered. In that case, I'll go all out!
...
Walking to the edge of the arena, White and Scott met each other.
In public, the two didn't interact with each other often, but since the Order was planning to become formal, there was no need to be so secretive about their interactions anymore.
After the two greeted each other, Scott smiled wryly: "I didn't expect you to be my first opponent. I thought that in the recruiting duels, I would be lucky enough to meet one or two first-year students who were easy to deal with."
White's smile was more bitter than his: "Scott-senpai, if you want to say that, you are actually lucky. Because I'm one or two that are easy to deal with..."
Scott hurriedly said: "Don't underestimate yourself, you are Son of the Brave One. By the way, how's your Holy Sword Spell research going?"
Speaking of the Holy Sword Spell, White was excited.
Holy Sword Spell was a high-level Generic Spell, and it was a rare high-level spell that could be burned on a magic card without having complete knowledge of Magical Language.
Of course, this spell was very special. Except for a small group of people who could transform the spell into powerful weapons, it was useless to the rest of the people even if they learned it.
White felt that if he could thoroughly study the [Holy Sword Spell] left by his father and turn it into a card, his strength would definitely be improved to a higher level!
But that was a matter for the future.
As for his current strength...
Although he had also improved, he didn't know how much he had improved.
In the last intra-class game, he didn't even make it to the quarter-finals. And when he encountered danger in the secret passage, he was unable to do anything completely.
These facts made him see himself clearly.
However, when facing Scott, he still had some confidence
...
"Please enter the arena as soon as possible!" The referee's urging interrupted the communication between the two outside the arena.
They looked at each other, and then turned to walk to each other's platform.
When White got on the platform, he also noticed that the classmates from Knight House were watching him with anticipation. He calmed his mind and felt that it would be better for him to do his best to win.
On the other side, Scott had already planned to go all out.
Second-year students would miss a lot of opportunities if they couldn't join the dueling club at the beginning of the second semester.
Of course, some people had a lot of opportunities and didn't care about the little opportunity they missed, so they chose not to join. But Scott was not one of those people.
"No matter whether I win or lose in the recruiting competition, I have to try my best, get high marks, or at least get a passing score!"
Scott set himself a target, then activated the table.
...
On the judging panel, Professor Fox still hasn't recovered from the last game.
But after discovering that the person playing was the son of the Brave One, he still said: "I know now that the little Demon in your class is really strong, but what about little Gawd? Is he talented as well?"
Professor Jones's eyes moved erratically and she answered seemingly casually, "You mean White? He had almost zero foundation when he entered school, but now he has also caught up."
Professor Fox was a very experienced person. He noticed the strangeness almost immediately.
This made him regain his confidence. He sat up straight, his expression returned to calm: "The student over there is named Scott, a student from Noble House, and his grades are very poor."
After saying that, Professor Fox stopped disclosing more information about the student, deliberately keeping professor Jones in suspense.
The corners of Professor Jones' mouth twitched slightly. She couldn't help but look at the arena, hoping White wouldn't disappoint her!
...
The professors' infighting had little effect on the students. Since it was a competition between two years, the first-year students still hoped that White would win.
Dianna asked curiously; "Dark, who do you think will win?"
Dark replied without hesitation: "It should be White. After all, Scott-senpai is too weak."
Dianna: "Eh? Is he that weak?"
Dark nodded; "Probably a little weaker than your previous opponent."
Dianna; "Oh, then he's really weak."
But she didn't know that this was the evaluation Dark gave for the sake of not embarrassing Scott too much.
A person's evaluation of others would depend to a certain extent on what the person had seen and heard. Dark's knowledge of Scott's strength hinged on the two encounters.
One of them was on Traveller Street. Scott was stalking him at the time because of the flower cards, but was beaten up by White and Robert later.
Another time was during the Halloween event. During that event, Scott's Three-eyed Cuttlefish was kicked away by Mary-senpai!
That scene left a deep impression on Dark. So he subconsciously felt that Scott was very weak.
But in fact, Scott and White had another fight. At that time, Scott and the "Pufferfish" group successfully defeated the combination of White and Robert, and brought them into the temple as trophies.
Of course, that was the incident from last year. The growth rate of the little magisters was very fast, so no one knew for sure who would be the final winner.
To find out, they must fight first.
...
White and Scott, who had exchanges outside the arena, didn't talk much after they got on the players' platforms.
Private relationships were private relationships. Once the duel began, there would only be the Red Player and the Blue Player in the arena.
With the words [Preparation Phase] appearing directly above the table, both sides put the card deck into the card slot, and then the card deck was shuffled automatically.
After the shuffling was over, the [30s] countdown to the right of the [Preparation Phase] started to tick; both sides immediately started to draw cards!
…
After White drew five cards, he fanned them out.
"I didn't get Troll!" White's heart sank the moment his gaze swept over the cards in his hand.
[Troll] was the most core 3-star magical spirit card in his 20-card deck! With [Troll], he would have a backbone.
The next one would be [Radiant Python]!
In addition to the magical spirit card, the other type of core card would undoubtedly be [Forbidden Love].
The magic cards in his hand had not been able to form a system, for the time being, so he could only rely on the strength of each card to brutally crush his opponent. However, he also didn't have the magical spirit card of the second tier, so he didn't have enough strength to duel with the seniors head-on.
But as far as he knew, Scott also didn't have the magical spirits of the second tier. Therefore, in terms of high-end combat power, the two sides were on the same level.
That being said, amongst the five cards in his hand right now, neither did he have [Troll], nor did he have [Radiant Python]. He didn't even have [Forbidden Love]! It could only be said that his luck was very bad.
White's eyes glanced at the [Phantom Magic Beast: Stag] at the end of the five cards, this 1-star magical spirit card could only be kept in the hand at this time.
Among the other four magic cards, one was [Magic Bullet Spell], one was [Magic Energy Restoring Potion], and two were newly made magical spirit cards.
"I can only choose one of these two magical spirits, and then hold on to the next round, betting my hope on the next round's draw!"
...
[Battle Phase][30s]
...
White's normal summoning speed had been compressed to six seconds. Although not as good as Dark, it was already enough to make him proud.
Even Emma was a little slower than him.
And Scott's normal summoning speed...
Anyway, after White successfully summoned the first magical spirit, he was still chanting.
Picking one out of two, White chose the one with only slightly higher offense and defense.
Then the magical spirit that appeared in the summoning area was a Double-headed Ogre!
…
[Card name: Double-headed Ogre]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Level: ✪✪ ]
[Race: Sub-human-type]
[Attribute: Dark Type]
[Magic Energy: 600]
[Attack: 900]
[Defense: 700]
[Ultimate: One Heart Two Minds]
...
The blue-skinned Double-headed Ogre, with a stone hammer in one hand and a spiked mace in the other, could be described as "dual wielding"! As soon as it appeared, it waved two weapons and charged toward the Magic Ball opposite.
White was sure that Scott hadn't learned how to remotely control the Magic Ball, so he wasn't worried about the Magic Ball running away.
But Double-headed Ogre's speed was severely limited by its short legs, and in the process of running, it would often encounter a situation where it would either raise its both feet at the same time, causing it to fall over.
"Thump!" Seeing it falling over again, White couldn't help covering his face.
Meanwhile, a ray of light entered the Blue Player's summoning area.
Walking out of the light was Scott's iconic magical spirit - The three-eyed Cuttlefish!
The huge Cuttlefish with three eyes was once kicked and sent flying by Mary-senpai, but it was indeed a 3-star magical spirit!
...
[Card name: Three-eyed Cuttlefish]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Level: ✪✪✪ ]
[Race: Fish-type]
[Attribute: Water]
[Magic Energy: 1200]
[Attack: 1100]
[Defense: 700]
[Ultimate: Binding, Ink]
...
The classification of aquatic creatures in this world was very vague. For example, mammals such as seals would belong to Bird & Beast-type, while marine mollusks such as cuttlefishes, squids, and octopuses would be classified as fish-type.
But they were not actually fish!
...
Scott lost the speed of his summons, but the magical spirit he summoned was noticeably stronger than that of the hilariously dumb Double-headed Ogre.
"Three-eyed Cuttlefish, catch it!" Scott's tone was obviously joyful.
The Three-eyed Cuttlefish heard the order, and immediately lunged towards the Double-headed Ogre - just a little slow!
Cuttlefishes were sea creatures after all, and it was perfectly normal to move slowly on the ground.
As it struggled to move, the Double-headed Ogre had gotten up again, raised its weapon high, and charged forward with a loud roar!
"No!" Although White tried to stop the Double-headed Ogre, it had already entered the attack range of the Three-eyed Cuttlefish.
The two tentacles of the Three-eyed Cuttlefish stretched out at the same time, tightly wrapping the Double-headed Ogre's two arms, and then lifting it up all of a sudden!
With its both legs off the ground and its hands bound, the Double-headed Ogre completely lost its ability to resist.
"End it!" Scott ordered without hesitation.
Almost at the same time, the tentacles of the Three-eyed Cuttlefish pierced the Double-headed Ogre's chest, tearing it in half!
In the painful scream, the Double-headed Ogre turned into light.
White's expression changed slightly, but he remained calm.
The slow movement of the Three-eyed Cuttlefish gave him time to summon a second magical spirit.
It was a giant pigeon with a golden crown on its head!
…
[Card name: King Pigeon]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Level: ✪✪ ]
[Race: Bird & Beast-type]
[Attribute: Flying/Light type ]
[Magic Energy: 800]
[Attack: 500]
[Defense: 400]
[Ultimate: Healing Waves]
…
The King Pigeon with a wingspan of more than two meters swooped down from the air, and when it closed its claws, it grabbed the life barrier of the red player's magic ball.
Then, under Scott's shocked expression, it flew up high into the air again!
This was the last tactic White could think of. In the last intra-class game, more than one person had used similar tactics. He was just imitating.
Scott looked up at the fat pigeon and couldn't help complaining.
This tactic was really shameless, but sometimes it was really troublesome!
"Fortunately I have a new magical spirit..." He drew a 2-star magical spirit card from his hand and summoned it quickly!
After a blazing white light shot out from the card face, a magical spirit appeared in the light.
It was a Monkey-faced Owl in vermilion!
...
[Card name: Monkey-faced Owl]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Level: ✪✪ ]
[Race: Bird & Beast-type]
[Attribute: Flying type]
[Magic Energy: 600]
[Attack: 700]
[Defense: 500]
[Ultimate: None]
...
A 2-star [Monkey-faced Owl] without a skill was a trash card among the senior students' card decks. But Scott wasn't the kind of top student with plenty of cards.
In order to make up for the inability to remotely control the Magic Ball, he had to equip his deck with a magical spirit of the Flying type.
And now, it just happened that he needed it.
