Chapter 313 - Chapter 310: The Clown is Me

"Have you heard? Third-year Owen is going to duel first-year Demon!"

"Of course, why else would I be standing here?"

Brian Luren looked at the classmate beside him with disdain, feeling that ever since they met, this classmate had been spouting nonsense.

The conversation between Mike Owen and Dark Demon had not been hidden from others. Passersby who noticed the strange atmosphere had, like Virt and Robert, subconsciously stopped to watch.

Naturally, they heard the whole thing.

News spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred. Soon, it reached the ears of all the students still outside the castle.

Those uninterested continued on their own way.

Those interested slowly gathered around.

A duel between a third-year and a first-year was quite rare, not seen even a few times a year.

Moreover, Mike Owen and Dark Demon were both celebrities of the Noble House.

Owen was actually among the top tier of third-year students.

He had also shone brightly in the dueling arena.

But for someone like him to duel a first-year student—if the opponent weren't Dark Demon, surely some righteous individuals would have forcibly intervened!

Ever since suppressing the second-year Elsie Kevin in the Rookie Tournament, Dark Demon's prestige had risen to another level.

Students had long since equated his strength with that of third-year students.

So in the eyes of some, this duel was completely a peer-to-peer contest between third-years.

What's more, with Professor Lily, who had just made a giant snowman, holding the fort, it was not the students' turn to worry no matter what.

At this moment, one just had to treat this rule-free Street Duel as a Valentine's Day salute!

...

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

Angus Jeffrey stood with the club members, his eyes flickering.

It didn't matter who won or lost this duel.

In short, the opposition had to be established.

Ideally, it would be an inseparable, fiercely abnormal fight that built up momentum!

...

And in front of where their gazes intertwined.

Dark had just finished packing up the trash.

He somewhat regretted recalling the Magic Guide Spirits too quickly earlier; he had originally intended to educate them on picking up their own trash.

In any case, after handing the trash bag to Rose, he clapped his hands and looked at Senior Owen, who had been waiting for quite some time.

He said, "Senior, has the long wait made you feel any better?"

Owen hesitated, "What kind of talk is that?"

Dark said airily, "After all, time can smooth over sorrow."

Owen whispered, "But my life has nothing left but dueling."

Dark smiled. "By the way, Senior. I still don't know, since a Street Duel has no rules, how is the winner decided? The original dueling mode used to have Magic Spheres."

Owen explained, "A Street Duel is fighting until the opponent admits defeat."

Dark asked curiously, "Didn't you say the duelist themselves cannot enter the field?"

Owen revealed a strange smile. "The person certainly cannot enter the field, but it was never said they cannot be attacked."

Dark's expression froze for a moment, then realization dawned. "So that's it, this is a Street Duel!"

Owen added, "Of course, in the academy, one must be careful to stop before going too far."

Dark nodded, indicating he understood.

After all, a Street Duel carried the word "Street"; it was an upgraded version of a street fight.

No rules, no referee.

To achieve victory, by any means necessary.

Duelists were ostensibly not allowed to enter the field, but since there were no rules and no referees, who cared about that point?

As long as it wasn't in a public tournament, targeting the duelist themselves was actually the true essence of a Street Duel!

At that time, it would be time for Equipment Cards and Armed Cards to shine.

[I summon my fist in attack position—Normal Punch!]

It was roughly like that.

Even throwing lime or splashing sulfuric acid could become means of victory.

...

Of course, they were now in the academy, so the so-called "Street Duel" naturally received restrictions.

Dark patted the stone table beside his hand.

His understanding of "by any means necessary" was quite thorough.

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

"Acceptable."

Owen glanced at the two stone tables, feeling that he had no impression of them before.

Was there such a good place to rest by the lakeside originally?

He calmed his spirit slightly and reached for his card pouch.

He had a chance of winning this duel with Dark Demon.

In the previous Rookie Tournament, Dark Demon's deck had already been exposed a lot.

In his view, Dark's core Magic Guide Cards were those special strengthening cards, as well as high-IQ Magic Guide Spirits.

In a rule-free Street Duel, Dark, possessing those special strengthening cards, could strengthen a Second Tier Magic Guide Spirit in an extremely short time!

And although Dark's Second Tier Magic Guide Spirits were all four-star, they were each more capable of fighting than the last.

So treating them as ordinary four-star Magic Guide Spirits would be a fatal error.

But it was only to that extent.

Relying solely on the strengthening series cards for Magic Guide Spirits had limits in all aspects.

As an honor student of the third year, Owen's deck was very rich and very comprehensive.

He also had his own system for dealing with Street Duels.

"Since it has started."

"Then today, I will teach him a lesson!"

Mike Owen's gaze turned sharp.

Although he claimed to be here to lose face, no one truly wanted to lose face.

He wanted to take this duel!

...

Behind the crowd.

Owen's lover—Maggie Gaskell, stood there quietly.

She actually understood Owen's difficulties.

But understanding did not mean being able to endure.

However, after smashing the chocolate, she still cared about what she should care about.

So she returned here.

This duel gave her a very bad premonition; she really didn't wish for Owen to be defeated.

...

"Isn't that Senior Owen's girlfriend?"

In the nearby crowd, Robert, having nothing to do, suddenly discovered Maggie's presence while looking around and couldn't help whispering to Virt.

Virt turned his head to look and was somewhat puzzled. "It really is. I thought Senior Owen was rejected after giving chocolate to confess, and later it sounded like they broke up. Why would she still come here to watch the battle?"

Robert whispered, "How can things between men and women be that simple? If they don't break up, how can they get back together?"

"This..."

Virt fell silent.

So one could get back together after breaking up?

Then was this Senior Owen still worth sympathizing with?

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and asked Robert, "Wait, if he wins this duel, can Senior Owen use the momentum to get back together with his girlfriend?"

Robert stroked his chin and thought, but pretended to be mature and shook his head. "I think not. Perhaps losing is the opportunity to get back together!"

Virt: "How so?"

Robert: "Listen to me explain in detail..."

...

Leaving aside Virt and Robert discussing strategies on paper.

Professor Lily and Pandora's focus was entirely on Dark.

Professor Lily simply thought this would be very interesting.

Pandora, on the other hand, felt that Dark's victory should be a matter of course.

However, Rose and Diana were slightly worried.

Diana balanced the panda familiar on her head, looking eagerly at the field. She didn't understand what a Street Duel was.

But she understood one thing, which was that Dark had absolutely no contact with this type of duel before!

As a beginner, he would inevitably be ignorant of certain routines within it.

Thus, it would be easy to be taken advantage of.

So although she trusted Dark very much, she couldn't help but worry for him.

Rose's thoughts were almost identical to hers.

The two couldn't help feeling anxious.

...

Thus, under everyone's gaze, Dark and Owen retreated backwards respectively.

A Street Duel had no rules, and naturally no field restrictions.

Creating distance was a dueling habit.

It wasn't until both sides were about ten meters away from the central stone table that they signaled "Ready" to each other.

This Street Duel, under such circumstances, began directly!

Dark thrust his hand fiercely into his card pouch. The magic power dancing at his fingertips moved quickly along the sides of the Magic Guide Cards; "Remote Conduction and Control of Magic Power" played a role here.

Magic Guide Cards, as carriers containing magic power, could be completely controlled by this technique.

Identify the type of Magic Guide Card through magic power.

Then extract it through "Remote Conduction and Control of Magic Power."

This was a basic technique essential for a qualified Magister.

Therefore, they only needed a trace of magic power to retrieve a Magic Guide Card into their hand.

Dark hadn't reached that level of proficiency yet, but after reaching into the card pouch, he also immediately and precisely extracted that specific Magic Guide Card from the entire pack—[Hawlucha]!

Then he himself began to run without stopping!

Even if he hadn't eaten pork, hadn't he seen a pig run?

Since attacking the opponent was allowed in a Street Duel, wouldn't standing still be waiting for death?

So running first was definitely right!

And almost as soon as he started, his Normal Summoning was already complete!

The entire summoning time was merely 2 seconds!

In the blink of an eye, [Hawlucha]'s Magic Guide Card lit up.

Among all of Dark's Magic Guide Spirit Cards, aside from [Meowth] who was not bound to [Paradise], only [Hawlucha] possessed the strongest mobility!

In a rule-free Street Duel, the importance of mobility was beyond doubt.

Therefore, the half-hawk man, seemingly wearing a wrestling mask, leaped out from the Magic Guide Card!

...

On the other side, Owen's summoning speed was obviously slower than Dark's!

Although this one second of slowness was negligible in this situation.

But Owen's Normal Summoning was naturally compressed to the limit of 3 seconds!

And Dark's summoning speed being faster than his meant that he had already broken through the limit!

The significance contained within this was not as simple as what appeared on the surface.

Many people present noticed this, but few thought deeply about it.

The battle between the two sides did not stagnate because of this one-second difference.

It was just a fleeting moment.

Just as Dark left his front foot, a patch of mud appeared under his back foot!

If he had walked even slightly slower, he would have sunk into the mud.

Even if he didn't have to leave the field because he still had combat power, he would be imprisoned by the mud, tantamount to changing from a moving target to a fixed target!

Then, an offensive like a violent storm would follow closely, forcing him off the battlefield!

This sequence required only two [Magic Cards]!

This was still because of the restrictions within the academy.

Otherwise, a single [Magic Card] attacking the opponent directly—as long as it hit, the duel would end immediately.

Owen certainly hadn't expected that Dark would take precautions in advance. After summoning the mud magic, he couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

So much so that when Dark began his second summoning, Owen was still holding the Magic Card he had prepared earlier—[High-Hanging Sword]!

That momentary delay.

The first Magic Guide Spirit to enter the field—Hawlucha—had already flown across half the court.

Its claws landed on one of the stone tables, leaving deep scratches on the hard stone, and then using the reaction force to soar again, it closed in almost instantly.

When Owen came back to his senses, he remained calm.

He did not switch Magic Guide Cards but directly summoned [High-Hanging Sword]!

Accompanied by the completion of Normal Summoning, a gale suddenly rose in mid-air, condensing into the shape of a sword.

Owen held the Magic Guide Card and pointed; that [High-Hanging Sword] thrust down from above, stabbing fiercely into the ground!

The [High-Hanging Sword], which should have been used to aim at the duelist, was now used to stop Hawlucha's dash.

"Haw-cha!"

Hawlucha's flight path was suddenly blocked by the [High-Hanging Sword] condensed from strong winds, forcing it to let out a scream and stop abruptly.

The feathers on its wings shook frantically under the influence of the wind force, making flight difficult.

But while Hawlucha was intercepted by [High-Hanging Sword], a petite gray shadow flashed past, forcibly bypassing the side unreachable by [High-Hanging Sword] and pouncing on Owen like the wind!

That was another Magic Guide Spirit summoned even earlier than [High-Hanging Sword]—[Meowth]!

As a three-star Magic Guide Spirit with full Magic Attack values, Meowth's speed ranked high among all of Dark's Magic Guide Spirits.

Although it was not registered by [Paradise], with Hawlucha attracting attention, Dark was already slightly at ease.

Basically, everything that happened within the opening seconds had been anticipated by him!

His next third Magic Guide Spirit would be DemiDevimon!

Along with [DemiDevimon], [Pride III] had also appeared in his hand.

Indeed, the lack of powerful Magic Cards was his disadvantage.

But the Ultimate Moves of Magic Guide Spirits could effectively make up for the lack of Magic Cards.

Once [Devimon] was summoned, he would possess the ultimate power to end this rule-free duel!

The entire duel happened in a flash.

Owen could not distract himself to summon while manipulating [High-Hanging Sword].

But he pointed his finger, and [High-Hanging Sword] suddenly spun, pulled up, and swept out horizontally!

This sweep immediately formed an extremely domineering wall of wind!

It actually successfully blocked Meowth's dash!

Seeing that the power of this [High-Hanging Sword] was actually this high, Dark couldn't help but frown slightly, his fingers trembling.

If Hawlucha hadn't been fast enough, posing a lethal threat to Owen, the place where [High-Hanging Sword] hung high right now would have been above his head!

But after [High-Hanging Sword] swept out that wind wall, its own magic power was quickly drained, leaving only a thin shadow.

Basically, it was equivalent to being exhausted.

At the same time.

A third Magic Guide Card appeared in Owen's hand, and he began to run and shift positions.

The failure of [Mud Trap] and the forced defense of [High-Hanging Sword] caused him to fall into a disadvantage.

Not starting with a [Magic Guide Spirit] meant there was no shield in front of him to block the opponent.

However, the summoning of the third Magic Guide Card would solve this problem.

"Armament, Transform!"

Owen pressed this third Magic Guide Card firmly against his chest.

Light like silk cocoons erupted from his chest, immediately surrounding his body and finally weaving into a full-body armament!

Equipment Cards and Armed Cards were the true core of Street Duels.

Mike Owen donned the armor while running. His whole person was surrounded by soft metal armor from head to toe. A pair of red visors like insect compound eyes appeared at the position of his eyes, and a shining red ruby served as the magic core in his heart.

The moment the armor was successfully donned, a large amount of magic power was continuously absorbed by the Armed Card.

Although Owen became as light as a swallow and no longer feared the close-combat attacks of three-star Magic Guide Spirits, the current situation was not what he wanted to achieve.

Deciding the winner within two moves was his original intention.

Only by killing the opponent instantly by surprise could he not worry about the later moves Dark might use that he didn't understand.

But now it was too late.

When he underwent the Armament Transformation.

Dark had already successfully summoned DemiDevimon, and [Pride III] was also in preparation.

One of the effects of [Paradise]: Summoning time for Magic Guide Spirits belonging to Paradise -1.

This made Dark's summoning speed surpass the limit!

"Jie jie jie jie!"

DemiDevimon's maniacal laughter resounded through the sky.

It already knew in advance who the protagonist of today was.

DemiDevimon would surely stand above the heavens!

...

"In the name of Dark Demon, Magic Guide Summon!"

Amidst DemiDevimon's rampant laughter, Dark successfully activated [Pride III].

The card face of [Pride III] immediately erupted with brilliant light.

DemiDevimon actively rushed toward that beam of light.

The skull pattern on its forehead disappeared quickly, replaced by the Crest of [Pride].

The dark gold light beam released from [Pride III] was absorbed by the Crest in an instant, then erupted suddenly.

With the [Pride] Crest as the center, DemiDevimon's body gradually turned into light, wrapped in a dark gold sphere of light.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a ferocious roar, the sphere of light was broken open, and a pair of tattered bat wings rushed out angrily!

The demon with two horns opened its crimson glowing eyes.

A nearly brutal arrogance permeated the dense light!

It spread its arms, bursting the sphere of light, exposing its athletic body full of muscles wrapped in tight black clothes to the view of countless people!

This Devimon, which Dark had never summoned in public, exuded a darkness so pure and powerful that it instilled fear.

Its head was covered by a mask, revealing only the pale skin around its mouth. A crimson mark like a bat was printed on its chest. Multiple black belts were tied around its waist, and extending from its forearms perpendicular to below its knees were retractable forearms and huge, sharp Claws of Death!

Every part was a symbol of extreme evil!

If this image appeared before the Holy Church, it would inevitably be an object of exclusion!

But this was St. Marian Academy.

A Magic Guide Academy with a more thorough view of light and darkness!

...

"He still summoned it!"

Owen, after his Armament Transformation, looked back and saw the imposing Devimon, his heart sinking immediately.

A new Second Tier Magic Guide Spirit meant a new Ultimate Move.

If they were outside the academy at this moment, he would have already rushed up, relying on the power after Armament Transformation to personally attack the duelist himself.

But inside the academy, the rule-free Street Duel was still bound by rules.

He could only use Armament Transformation to defend and dodge the opponent's attacks.

And could not personally go on the field to attack.

Owen gritted his teeth slightly and drew his fourth Magic Guide Card.

At this moment, he not only had to face the threat of Devimon but also Meowth, who had bypassed the wind wall, and Hawlucha, who was flying over again.

The strategy of not starting with a Magic Guide Spirit Summoning made him taste the bitter fruit.

But he hadn't reached the point of being helpless.

The rich accumulation of a third-year student allowed him to still have cards to play at this time.

...

"Death Claw!"

Dark's command resounded through the sky.

Devimon, immersed in being the center of attention, immediately snapped back to reality. It remained in place but raised its hands aiming at Owen. Its two arms stretched instantly, grabbing fiercely at Owen's body!

"Magic Guide Summon!"

Owen completed the summoning of the fourth Magic Guide Card at a critical moment.

The light released from the Magic Guide Card materialized in the air.

"Boom!"

A huge bronze door fell heavily, blocking Devimon's Death Claw.

Immediately after.

A second bronze door also fell with a crash, blocking the attacks of Meowth and Hawlucha.

"Boom!"

The final third bronze door formed a seamless triangle with the previous two bronze doors, protecting Owen inside!

Owen leaned against one of the bronze doors, panting slightly.

The moment before the Triple Bronze Gates closed, he saw that the audience was still immersed in some kind of shock.

That obviously couldn't have been caused by his Armed Card and Triple Bronze Gates, so it could only be because of Dark's Devimon!

That Devimon indeed gave a terrifying feeling, not looking like a Second Tier Magic Guide Spirit at all.

In a normal duel, apart from summoning a higher-star Magic Guide Spirit, he probably wouldn't have a very good way to deal with this Magic Guide Spirit.

But this was a Street Duel.

The victory of a Street Duel relied on the life-and-death judgment of the duelist.

No matter what kind of Magic Guide Spirit the opponent summoned, as long as a dagger was placed on the opponent's neck, victory could be won!

Owen sighed slightly. He hadn't wanted to use that Magic Guide Card.

To be a top student among third-years, Owen naturally had his own trump card.

The reason he didn't use it immediately was that summoning this Magic Guide Card required a bit of time!

Now, with the protection of the Triple Bronze Gates, he had the leeway.

As long as he successfully summoned this trump card, he could instantly turn the tide!

"[Teleportation]."

But just as he was about to start summoning, Dark's clearly enunciated voice came from behind his ear.

Then a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

He rolled and jumped almost subconsciously, his whole body amplified by the full-body armament, agile as a monkey, actually successfully dodging Devimon's throat lock!

And Devimon, who had appeared silently inside the Triple Bronze Gates, just grinned, revealing a trace of a cruel smile.

It flew in mid-air, looking down at Owen like looking down at a rabbit with no way to escape!

Yes, no way to escape!

Owen's Triple Bronze Gates, like a cage, had shut himself inside!

The only opening was in the sky.

But the moment the Triple Bronze Gates completely closed, an invisible barrier had actually been generated there.

Owen originally thought that if Dark wanted to break open the bronze doors, it would take some time no matter what.

But he never expected that Dark didn't even try to break the bronze doors.

That pitch-black demon actually possessed a space transfer type Ultimate Move!

It teleported directly in...

"Senior Owen, surrender. Surrender and lose half."

Dark's voice passed through the bronze doors, entering Owen's ears again.

...

Owen tightly gripped his trump card, finally putting it back into his card pouch.

But this did not mean he had given up.

"If this were a real street duel, I would probably have been torn to pieces already, right?"

Looking at that pitch-black demon eyeing him with eyes full of mockery, Owen couldn't help smiling bitterly.

But he immediately straightened his expression.

The duel was not over yet.

For a Street Duel, every single element had to be utilized.

He was now trapped inside the Triple Bronze Gates. Unless he voluntarily canceled the summon, he was a turtle in a jar, easily handled by Devimon.

But once the summon was canceled, he would face Dark and more Magic Guide Spirits, and the situation would only be worse.

Moreover, staying inside the Triple Bronze Gates had a huge advantage.

That was, people outside couldn't see him.

And that pitch-black demon couldn't possibly truly kill him!

This meant the duel was not over yet!

Although it looked like cheating, this was a Street Duel!

Utilize everything that can be utilized.

Before winning.

By any means necessary!

...

Owen made a prompt decision.

He abandoned the trump card that required a long time to summon and charge.

He also abandoned the arrogance of "teaching Dark a lesson" at the start.

He drew his Magic Guide Spirit Card, and in the narrow triangular domain, unfolded a battle of Magister versus Magic Guide Spirit with the sole Devimon!

...

Outside the Triple Bronze Gates, Dark actually did not relax his vigilance.

In the moment he received no response from Owen, one by one, he summoned the Magic Guide Spirits registered in [Paradise] out.

Except for the three four-star Magic Guide Spirits left for the end.

In just half a minute, with unbelievable speed, he summoned all five remaining First Tier Magic Guide Spirits besides DemiDevimon and Hawlucha!

And with the entry of each Magic Guide Spirit, the effect of [Paradise] went up another level, adding 100 to Magic Attack and Defense each!

Accumulating seven meant a full 700!

Thus, after just half a minute.

Devimon inside the Triple Bronze Gates had become a true monster with Magic Attack and Defense both reaching 2700!

Single-target Physical Ultimate Move · [Death Claw]!

Ranged Magical Ultimate Move · [Razor Wing]!

AOE Physical Ultimate Move · [Claw of Ten Thousand Deaths]!

Displacement Skill with only 15 seconds CD · [Teleportation]!

Devimon, eternal god!

...

"Hahaha!"

Inside the Triple Bronze Gates.

Devimon's laughter gradually deformed.

From the strange "Jie jie jie" back to normal rampant laughter.

Mike Owen was sweating profusely.

Before today, he probably could never have imagined that he would be suppressed like this by a Magic Guide Spirit.

The narrow terrain inside the Triple Bronze Gates became a key factor restricting his performance.

The summoning of every Magic Guide Spirit was killed by Devimon in one blow.

Not a single Ultimate Move could be used.

The Death Rattle type Ultimate Move that transformed corpses into sacrifices was also easily seen through by it and destroyed without a trace!

Trying to bomb it with Quick-Play Magic Cards, but in front of the defense as high as 2700, it was insignificant.

Trying to set traps to lure it, he was instead grabbed by it and thrown into the trap he set himself.

If the armor on his body weren't strong enough, he would probably have become the first Magister to be blown to death by his own trap.

After being grabbed and thrown down for the second time, the wretched Owen finally realized a blind spot of his.

→ Devimon wasn't unable to deal with him, but deliberately didn't deal with him!

A Magic Guide Spirit with such high IQ couldn't possibly not know means of restricting movement other than killing.

Whether binding hands and feet, confiscating the card pouch, or gagging the mouth, all were effective means.

Once treated like this, even if he was thick-skinned, he would have to submit.

But Devimon had absolutely no intention of doing so.

It was toying, playing, enjoying the process of battling wits and courage with a Magister!

Damn it!

...

But in fact, Mike Owen was still wrong.

Devimon wasn't enjoying the process of battling wits and courage with a Magister.

It was just enjoying the pleasure of crushing a Magister.

...

Since its birth, (Demi)Devimon had never been so refreshed.

The pent-up frustration accumulated in the past seemed to be vented in this process.

Except for not being able to speak and mock to its heart's content, it was simply perfect.

(Demi)Devimon felt proud from the bottom of its heart for being able to accurately seize such an opportunity and control it relying on its "wisdom"!

When Owen finally couldn't bear it and canceled the [Triple Bronze Gates], it was already almost ten minutes later.

Dark had already summoned all the Magic Guide Spirits.

He was so bored that he almost fast-forwarded to the cat-petting session.

Mike Owen finally reappeared.

He didn't dare to remove the armament because under the soft metal armor, his face was bruised and swollen!

Devimon, flying out behind him, still had a look of wanting more.

Apart from the two parties involved, no one knew what exactly happened inside those Triple Bronze Gates.

People only knew that after Mike Owen came out, he hurriedly surrendered and then left without looking back.

He couldn't help but leave.

Because his magic power was on the verge of exhaustion.

The Armed Card was truly a magic power guzzler!

Once magic power was exhausted and the armament removed, his wretched appearance would be exposed.

That, for him, would be another fatal blow.

"Safe travels, Senior!"

Dark waved enthusiastically to see him off.

After Devimon degenerated into DemiDevimon, it hurriedly clung to his shoulder to claim credit.

"(@ o@ ) Awoo awoo!"

It had a premonition that its little red flowers were going to overflow again!

...

"It ended just like that?"

The onlookers who had waited dryly outside for ten minutes were all bewildered.

Except for the wonderful duel at the very beginning, they had been staring at those three bronze doors almost the whole time.

As for what happened inside those bronze doors?

How exactly did Dark Demon win?

Why did Mike Owen surrender as soon as he came out?

What kind of tricks were hidden in this?

Could it be a show?

Actor 1: Dark Demon.

Actor 2: Mike Owen.

Actor 3: Devimon?

...

But the duel was over, and one of the parties had run away, so they couldn't continue watching.

Thus, they left or scattered.

Various guesses were passed around in the crowd.

Mainly because Owen and Dark didn't show any "animosity," making it even more unfathomable.

After entering the castle, someone also saw Maggie appearing beside Owen.

Thus, the unreliable rumor of "Owen seeking a duel after a breakup" also collapsed on its own.

...

But whatever others thought or guessed, it didn't affect Dark Demon.

Dark recalled [Paradise], asked the Magic Guide Spirits to line up, and returned to the castle under the leadership of Class Monitor Diana.

This afternoon, Dark intended to do things thoroughly and finish what he started.

So after communicating with the Halfling cooks, he brought all the Magic Guide Spirits into the canteen!

That scene was simply too magnificent!

Except for the little demon who frequented the canteen, the other Magic Guide Spirits had never entered the canteen so openly.

They occupied a whole corner of the canteen, using the tableware specially provided by the Halfling cooks, eating big mouthfuls of various foods and snacks, emitting satisfied calls from time to time.

Gradually, not only Dark and the others looked at them with gentle gazes.

More and more girls approached, watching them quietly, their faces turning into little round faces one by one.

...
