The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Chapter 902 Gold Cup quarterfinals, open! (4k)

Friday, April 10. One p.m.

[Golden Cup] The quarter-finals are about to start.

Spectators from all over the world have already entered the venue in advance, and the dueling halls in various regions were soon filled with seats.

Prince Charles, who always looks like an "idler" in front of outsiders, is sitting in the reserved seat today, boredly waiting for the start of the duel match.

But people like him are still in the minority, Yallweite, Claire and others are not present today.

The eldest prince Charles squinted and looked at the group of spectators with various flags and banners not far away, and a hint of boredom flashed in his heart.

He can't do anything right now, and the best strategy is to do nothing. But of course that's not possible.

No matter how decadent it is on the surface, there is not one thing that should be done secretly.

At the very least, intelligence gathering cannot be left behind. "What the hell are they doing?"

Charles retracted his gaze, raised his head, and looked at the endless sky with a dazed expression.

St. Mary's College, open-air dueling hall.

Students who were looking forward to the upcoming duel flocked, and the duel hall became lively at an extremely fast speed.

Edwin Clarissa and Mike Owen sat among the members of the Aristocratic History Research Society, but there was a hint of helplessness on their faces.

This time, he failed to successfully invite [Holy Son] Evan Pearson.

Because of that kid from the Doron family, he got there first!

The so-called "close to the water, first to get the moon", Doron initiated an invitation to Evan Pearson to watch the game together early.

Evan Pearson refused without any reason, so he graciously agreed.

So sitting in the ring-shaped auditorium, he had two more flags in his hands that read [Dark Dimon, come on! Come on!] and [Dark Dimon, win! Win!] .

His face was a little ugly, obviously reluctant, but it couldn't stop Doron's enthusiasm.

Tommy Smith, who was sitting beside him, wore a headband of [Dak Dimon, must win!], and he was also unlovable.

But who made him have a good weekend? He has to come and follow His Highness the Holy Son? Now, after a full week in this academy, both Evan Pearson and Tommy Smith are very aware of the second-year aristocracy The boys are all Dak Dimon's little fanboys.

If you show rejection at this time, don't think about "fitting in". Evan Pearson couldn't help but want to start the "Challenge Plan" in advance while enduring the humiliation.

"Just tonight!"

"When tonight's game is over, I will challenge Elijah Sheridan, who was eliminated first among the top sixteen of the [Golden Cup]!"

"Then Matthew Bilbomb, Marshall Hoiant...until all sixteen people including Dak Dimon were picked!"

He gritted his teeth.

Duck didn't know that Evan Pearson was also "refueling" for himself. After he came out of the Fantastic Beasts club, he went straight to the players' lounge in the open-air dueling hall.

Not long after that, the remaining eight players of the [Golden Cup] were all in place.

Duck and Pandora-senpai joined together and listened to the staff describe the process of today's game.

Although today's game is the beginning of the "double elimination", it is not the "opening ceremony" after all, so there is no eve of the cutscene.

However, according to the process, the eight players who have advanced to the top eight have to host the stage one time, and the host will quickly introduce their identities, and then the lottery will begin.

Eight players take turns to draw lots, No. 1 and No. 2 duel, No. 3 and No. 4 duel, and so on, to determine the specific schedule.

By the time the staff finished talking about the game process, it was already half past one in the afternoon. Before Duck even started to communicate with Pandora-senpai in depth, he found out that the competition had already started.

Looking out from the window in the players' lounge, the structure of the entire duel venue is the same as last week's opening day. The host Judy is also standing on the high platform in the air, calmly and elegantly enlivening the atmosphere of the scene.

The staff hurried over to inform them to go to the "behind-the-scenes venue" not far from the host.

By the time they moved to the backstage venue, the atmosphere had become extremely lively.

"Today is the day of the duel! [Golden Cup] The quarter-finals... The official start! Let's invite eight players to the stage together!"

Judy-senpai held a microphone and announced loudly in an excited tone. After that, Duck and the others stood on the lift platform under the guidance of the staff and boarded the host platform floating in the air.

The eight players who entered the [Golden Cup] quarterfinals were lined up. Judy-senpai started from the first person on the right, and completed an introduction in just two or three sentences, and finished all the information of the eight contestants after only a while.

In this way, even the new audience has a preliminary impression of these eight players.

The eight players are:

[Dragon Slayer] Luke Bage from the sixth-grade House of Fools. [Thunderblade] Torrey Wadsworth from the Fifth-grade House of Lords

[Silver Dragon Girl] Pandora Dragoon from the Fifth Grade Magic Academy

[Iron Warrior] Taylor Spencer from the fifth grade Knights Academy. [Winter's Daughter] Winnie Skadi from the fourth-grade wizarding institute. from the 4th grade knight's house

[Spirit of Battle] Mars Carey. [Predicting the Future] Philomena Bach from the fourth-grade House of Fools

[Children of the Stars] Dak Dimon from the second-year noble house.

From the sixth grade to the second grade, the appearance of these eight players made the audience of the whole venue excited, and the audience looked more and more impatient.

The supporters of the various players desperately shouted the names of the players, as if to overwhelm the rest of the supporters with their voices.

On the endless belt, Doron also brought Evan Pearson to cheer for Duck, completely ignoring Evan Pearson's embarrassed face.

When the atmosphere was almost finished, Judy-senpai suddenly stretched out her hand like a magic trick and made a box full of numbered cards on the stage.

Then she excitedly said: "Then, enter the lottery now! As usual, the first player to win in last week's competition——[Thunderblade] Torrey Wadsworth came to the lottery."

"It's finally time for the draw."

Dak stood at the far left of the queue and couldn't help but look up. Although he had the idea of ​​meeting Pandora-senpai as soon as possible, in fact, all the players who can enter the [Golden Cup] quarterfinals should not be underestimated. No matter which one is drawn, the next duel must be handled carefully.

Torrey Wadsworth walked to the lottery box amid the audience's voice, reached into the box without hesitation, and pulled out a number plate the size of a slap.

"Let's see how many numbers Torrey Wadsworth has drawn?" Judy-senpai stretched out her hand a little, and the number plate in Torrey Wadsworth's hand was enlarged in the projection.

"It's number six! It seems that Torrey Wadsworth's luck is very good, and it is a very lucky number. Torrey Wadsworth's opponent will be number five!"

Torrey Wadsworth put away his number plate and retreated to the rear.

Immediately afterwards, Mars Carey, the dark horse who came to the fourth-year Knights Academy, strode up to the front desk.

He paused before the lottery box, then reached into the box and pulled out—[Number Eight]!

Then, Dak Dimon quickly stepped out of the queue.

Mars Carey is indeed a dark horse with outstanding strength, but Duck is not interested in him.

"I hope it's not [Number Seven]."

Thinking like this, he put his hand deep into the lottery box, randomly selected a number card, and drew it out.

"It turned out to be [Number One]!"

Before he could check it for himself, Judy-senpai had already announced loudly: "Dak Dimon has won the [No. 1]! He will appear in the first duel after the lottery ends!"

Immediately, there was a tsunami-like shout from the audience outside the venue, which showed its popularity vividly.

Dak narrowed his eyes and stepped back. The "No. 1" draw was unexpected.

Being the first to play in a game like this does take extra pressure.

And in today's game, before the first game, there is only fifteen minutes of preparation time.

But be quick.

If he can directly win the first game, then there is no need to watch the rest of the game, and he can directly return to the dormitory to continue his research on [Bliss Mist Field].

"There are five players left, who will be the No. 2 draw?"

Duck looked forward, and after him came the only sixth grader in the quarterfinals——【Dragon Slayer】Luke Becky.

Luke Bage has been famous for a long time and is also the favorite to win this [Golden Cup].

When he stepped out of the queue, cheers rang out from the audience that had just quieted down.

He grinned and strode to the lottery box. At this time, the number cards that have been drawn are [No. 1], [No. 6] and [No. 8]. As long as [No. 3] or [No. 4] are not drawn, a group of players can be directly determined.

Luke Becky put his hand into the box, and suddenly whispered in his mouth: "Number two, number two, number two!"

Obviously, what he most wants to draw is [No. 2]!

It's not because [Number 2]'s opposite [Number 1] is a second-year student, he just wants to beat him hard!

"Number two, number two..."

Luke Bage jerked his number plate out and held it high. I saw that on the number plate, it was written [two]! "Okay!"

He shook his fist suddenly and couldn't help but let out a low voice.

The undisguised excitement caused some people who noticed it to frown.

"It turned out to be [No. 2]! Luke Becky drew No. 2! Very good, the first group of players finally appeared!"

Judy-senpai announced loudly.

"Today's first duel will be Dak Dimon from the second-year House of Lords vs Luke Becky from the sixth-grade House of Fools!"

"Grade 2 vs Grade 6! This is undoubtedly the duel with the most disparity between grades in this Golden Cup race."

"But I believe that grades can't decide everything. Dak Dimon and Luke Bage will definitely present us with a very exciting duel!"

"Then now, the next player is invited to come up and draw lots."

"It turned out to be a sixth-grade player..."

Ring belt, Evan Pearson couldn't help asking: "Is that Luke Bage any good? Can Duck Dimon handle it?"

Doron patted Evan Pearson's shoulder hard, and said, "That's [Dragon Slayer]! Of course it's too powerful. But don't worry, Dak will always have a way. Come on with us when the time comes! we will use the sound

Volume overwhelms everything! Fill the venue with our support!"

Evan Pearson: "Uh..."

"what a pity."

Duck's eyes narrowed.

When Luke Bage returned from the front desk, he glanced at him very clearly, and the excitement in his eyes almost overflowed his eyes.

Contacting his excitement when he drew [No. 2], Duck had to wonder what kind of hatred he had with the sixth-grade senior?

But it doesn't matter, whether there is hatred or not, it must be seen in the duel. Duck didn't mind this, he just regretted not being able to draw Pandora-senpai.

Philomena Bach, the vice president of the [Astrology Club] who stepped forward, drew [No. 5].

[Silver Dragon Girl] Pandora Dragon has drawn [No. 3]. [Winter's Daughter] Winnie Skadi won the [No. 4]. Taylor Spencer, a fifth grader from [Sports Club], won the final [No. 7].

Judy waved his hand, and today's schedule appeared on the projections above everyone's heads.

Game 1: Dak Dimon vs Luke Bage.

Game 2: Pandora Dragone vs Winnie Scatty.

Game 3: Philo Minerbach vs Torre Wadsworth.

Game 4: Tyler Spencer vs Mars Carey

The four rounds of duels in the afternoon, whether it was the first match between Duck and Luke Bage, or the second match between Pandora and Winnie, were full of highlights.

After seeing this schedule, Duck's original idea of ​​"quick fight" faded away.

He couldn't help thinking, should he wait until after watching the duel between Pandora-senpai and Winnie-senpai before leaving?

Of course, the premise of having so much room is to win in your own field now.

Otherwise, he who falls into the lower bracket will have to worry about tonight's knockout match of the lower bracket.

After the schedule came out, the tasks of the eight players had been completed, and they exited the stage at Judy's instruction.

Then, Judy invited the two commentators to the stage, and the two of them analyzed the outcome of the four games.

The two commentators will get at least fifteen minutes of preparation time for the first showdown.

In these fifteen minutes, the two players in the first duel needed to construct a corresponding deck for their opponents.

Immediately after Dak stepped down, he returned to the backstage arena and started to form cards in the enchantment.

Although Luke Becky is known as [Dragon Slayer], his deck is actually dominated by [Dragon].

On top of this, he has a variety of killing methods for dragons and dragon species.

Have to guard!
