If he hadn't risked driving the giant into a "rage" state, he probably wouldn't have even made it to the second round.
In short, he felt very heavy-hearted at the moment.
Dark's figure could no longer be seen from view.
……
The format for the second round is slightly different.
The round of 16 to 8 will continue to use the single-elimination format.
After the top 8 teams are determined, a double-elimination system will be adopted.
Each contestant will have two chances. The first failure will not result in direct elimination, but rather placement in the loser's bracket. Only the second failure will lead to elimination.
After the professors briefly explained the rules, they began distributing number plates.
They were assigned from the House of Nobles to the House of Fools, in that order.
Dak took number 1.
Diana is number 2.
……
After all sixteen contestants had been assigned number plates, the professors used the same type of number plates to randomly draw lots and create a competition schedule.
The round of 16 to 8 will still be held simultaneously in four venues.
Soon, the professors posted the competition schedule.
Dark, pulled along by Diana, walked over and glanced at the schedule.
"My next opponent, number 3? Isn't that Doron?"
So he turned his head slightly and saw Teddy Doron turning his head at the same time!
The Dorron family is a powerful family in the kingdom, on par with the Gretel family. The two families are both allies and fierce rivals.
Dak vaguely remembered that he had played against him once in the last in-class competition.
At that time, the junior mages each only had one "magical beast", and Doron's magical beast seemed to be a ferocious small dinosaur.
But Dark didn't give him a chance to summon the magical beast; instead, he used a quick attack tactic to take him down in one fell swoop.
"Dark Dimon!"
The red-haired boy gritted his teeth and uttered Dark's name.
After the last competition, he was ashamed of his defeat, learned from his mistakes, studied hard, and strived to improve himself.
Finally, we reaped the rewards today.
Not only did they advance smoothly to the second round, but they also encountered Dark in the first game of the second round.
This is the time to avenge our defeat!
……
"I never expected the first match to be an internal war."
Dark had a pretty good impression of Doron. He glanced at him with a hint of regret before heading towards Field 1 with Diana.
The round of 16 consists of 8 matches, divided into two waves.
Diana was in the second wave.
Darko is the current starting lineup.
……
"Beep——"
At Professor Jones's whistle, both players took to the platform.
Dak stood on the five-meter-high platform and looked down.
Even on his second visit, he still hadn't fully adapted to the overly spacious dueling arena.
“Dark”.
Suddenly, Duolong, the player on the opposite platform, spoke up.
Dark looked up, somewhat puzzled.
Duolong then said solemnly, "From now on, I will give it my all!"
"Uh……"
Despite inwardly fuming, Darke replied, "Same."
After all, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
"Preparation Phase" [30 seconds]
The standard message appeared above the card table: 30-second countdown begins!
Chapter 161 One Punch, One Pot
【Life: 1000】
"My turn, draw a card!"
The moment Dark felt the cool touch of the magic card on his fingertips, his mind settled down.
Initially, there was no card-drawing process in the dueling competition.
There wasn't even a concept of "rounds".
The only limitation is the number of cards in the deck, based on the element that "human magic power is very limited".
In this situation, duelists always use up all their cards at the very beginning. So-called tactics are all pre-planned, and who is stronger and weaker is already determined at the start of the duel.
Duel matches seem to have become simply a stage for duelists to showcase their decks. It might look okay at first, but it gets boring after a while.
It took only a very short time for it to go from being popular to rapidly declining.
The rules gradually evolved over time.
Based on the element that "the number and type of cards in hand cannot be guaranteed during wartime," the Duel Alliance added the "shuffling" and "card drawing" stages, adding infinite possibilities to duel competitions, which allowed an industry that almost collapsed to develop again.
In order to win a duel, duelists must have a thorough understanding of their deck and be able to adapt to any card they draw and devise corresponding tactics.
This, to a certain extent, also greatly improved the duelists' combat abilities.
……
With just a change of thought.
Dark had already drawn five magic cards from the top of his deck.
【Teapot】
【Fantasy Beast: Eevee】
[Big Milk Tank]
【Magic Bullet Spell】
【Paradise III】
"all hit!"
Dark glanced at his hand, and a variety of tactics flashed through his mind.
Whether you start with "Shuttle" or "Eevee: Beastmaster", both are good choices.
But then he suddenly heard Doron's excited shouts.
"it is good!"
Doron, who also drew five magic cards, showed excitement on his face, clearly having drawn a hand that was very advantageous to him.
"Even the decks have answered my call, so what reason is there to lose?"
Doron suddenly looked up at Dak, his eyes burning with intense passion!
"Take a good look, this is my all-out effort!"
"Battle Phase" [30s]
"Magic Summoning!"
Both duelists begin their fight simultaneously.
In the third month of the semester, Doron had already managed to reduce the duration of his normal summoning spell to less than 10 seconds, which was quite impressive.
However, Dark, known for his "fast attack," still crushed Dark without any doubt.
More than halfway through the time, Dark summoned his first magical spirit.
"Sizzle!"
The "Jug" that materialized in the summoning area had its soft head protrude from its carapace, and its eyes instantly turned sharp!
Even though Dark has already crafted many powerful new magical spirits, the gold-certified "Jug" remains an indispensable core force!
The 0.6-meter-tall Shuttle guards the Magic Sphere, its imposing presence reaching a height of two meters.

Referee area.
Professor Jones crossed his arms, looking quite interested.
She had already learned from Professor Cazell that Dark had such a "Potpot Worm".
However, while the "Potpot Bug" is an extremely powerful magical spirit, its versatility in actual duels is actually very low.
If you ignore it, it's just a useless card.
"But it's said that Dumont's 'Jugblepot' is a gold card, which should be the first time in history that a gold 'Jugblepot' has appeared."
"I wonder what surprises it will bring us?"
Then she looked at Doron's summoning area.
"Roar!"
It was a few seconds late.
A magical spirit with obvious "dragon" characteristics makes its appearance with a roar.
