Chapter 1705
"Want to know which branch will be the first to appear in the afternoon?"
After asking this question with a hint of playfulness, Senior Judy chanted the normal summoning spell, activated a magic card in her hand, and waved it upward.
Immediately, the symbols of the four branches appeared in the air one after another, namely the crown, the lance, the magic book and the [Fool] Tarot card.
Then the symbols of the four branches formed a circle under his control, with a pointer appearing in the center.
Senior Judy slowly pressed her slender fingers on the pointer and blinked at the audience outside the venue. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, making her eyes more beautiful.
As the cry sounded, she exerted a little force, and the pointer started to move clockwise.
From slow to fast, speed up the rotation.
Then from fast to slow, gradually stop.
Under the gaze of countless people, the pointer finally pointed to the crown symbolizing the [House of Nobles]!
"House of Nobles! It's House of Nobles again! It seems that one of the starters in the afternoon game is still Dark Dimon, a second-year member of Noble House!"
Senior Judy exclaimed loudly, the audience shouted the title and name of Dark Dimon, and the whole venue was boiling again.
In the lounge of the House of Lords, Dak and others also looked at each other.
Edwin Clarissa said: "It seems we are about to get ready."
"I wonder who my opponent will be in this round?" Snake Harriman also muttered.
Dak rubbed his nose and said, "I always feel that I have some kind of starting BUFF."
"It's starting to spin," Elsie Kevin said.
At this time, on the host stage, Senior Sister Judy looked here intentionally or unintentionally, then reached out and pressed the pointer, and moved it again.
"Shua——"
Under everyone's gaze, the pointer stopped again, and finally pointed at the [Fool's] Tarot card representing the [Fool's Court]!
"Ha!" Snake Harriman breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face.
To him, Polly Bruno from the House of Fools was the only soft persimmon he could pinch.
The hope of not being defeated three to zero lies entirely with classmate Polly Bruno!
Fortunately, he has always been talkative, and his relationship with Polly Bruno is pretty good. Classmate Bruno should be able to meet his small expectation, right?
However, Snake was happy, but the others didn't look so relaxed.
The third-year player in the House of Fools is Benjamin Leopold. Judging from his previous duels, he is basically the most difficult character to deal with among the third-year players.
Although Elsie Kevin had tried her best to prepare, she was not confident that she could win him.
As for the fifth and sixth graders, there is no need to read them.
That will be a tough battle for both Edwin Clarissa and Franklin Doron.
The only one that is really relaxed may be Dak's side.
The second-year player in the House of Fools is Clayn Moretti.
Dak was a little worried about this battle before, but after watching the duel between him and Sarah, he was basically relieved.
Klein Moretti doesn’t have a lot of goods.
He may have a bright future, but he's still just getting started.
Four-word evaluation: Not threatening.
In comparison, Sara Swati is indeed more threatening.
If this duel is not the Academy Cup, he even wants to rebuild an entertaining deck to bring more smiles to the audience.
As for now, we still have to go all out!
Duck calmed down and waited quietly.
The staff then brought them in to remind them that it was time to play.
The five people looked at each other, nodded, and then walked towards the duel venue.
A few minutes later, they climbed up the elevator and arrived at the players' bench.
A few meters apart, five contestants from the Court of Fools were already sitting on the contestant seats.
The eyes of the players on both sides intertwined, as if lightning was flowing through them.
As the competition progresses, even though there has never been any grudge between the two branches, the ever-increasing sense of competition has made it impossible for them to treat each other as normal as before.
Players enter, commentators enter, and referees enter.
The host Judy briefly summarized the results of the two rounds of duels in the morning and announced the official start of the first round of duels in the afternoon.
Dark Dimon stood up amidst the deafening shouts, waved slightly in the direction of the Royal Capital auditorium, then turned around and walked out of the contestant seats.
Then he stepped onto the lifting platform on the other side and climbed onto the red side player platform.
This round of competition.
The House of Lords is the red side.
The blue side of the Court of Fools.
Without the obstruction of the Knights' House, the students of the Nobles' House cheered for the players who represented them in the battle.
But the students in the Academy of Fools showed no sign of weakness.
It was as if they had specially practiced, and their cheering voices were uniform and obvious.
The students in the House of Nobles could only use their voices to suppress them.
That's how the game is.
The field is a battle between players.
Off the field is a battle between supporters.
The popularity gap of this duel is also extremely obvious.
The cheering spectators in the auditorium outside the stadium are basically Dak's supporters.
Supporters of Klein Moretti are almost invisible.
But this is normal.
He has never been a high-profile person, and most of the audience only got to know him for the first time today.
It was a pity that he was crushed by his opponent in such an important event for the first time... or even played with, and was manipulated by his opponent at will.
Klein learned from the pain in that duel, and learned something new by watching the duel between Gina Grant and Pandora Doragon.
He prepared seriously and wanted to make a beautiful comeback in the next duel.
But his default opponent was Vitt Gold, not Dark Dimon!
"I have to win one!"
Klein patted his cheek hard and stepped onto the blue player's platform.
Then he activated the card table, pulled out the deck and put it in, turned on the loudspeaker, and looked at the opposite side with a serious look.
The opposite side - Dark Dimon's expression was indeed very relaxed.
"You really didn't regard me as an opponent?"
Klein Moretti smiled bitterly.
He knew that although his current level was already quite high among the second graders, it was only limited to the second grade.
Yue Fei☆qun〕【:≯…⑻↓〗⑸⑺。~⑹′&⑹、∥⑶⑷〕? ⑷⑵ And each of the sophomores participating in this duel competition has the ability to surpass the sophomore level.
Under this situation, his level seems not so good enough.
Now standing on the blue player platform, he can't even think of how to defeat his opponent.
There is no picture in his mind at all!
Theoretically, as a duelist, you shouldn't have the idea of being afraid before the battle.
But in his mind, there is no picture of defeating Dak at all!
Klein's math grades are very good. He likes calculations and has very clear logical thinking.
But the more so, the more he can't convince himself.
No matter how he calculates, he feels that the possibility of him defeating Dak is infinitely close to 0!
The pressure is full!
He almost broke out in a cold sweat.
"Relax a little."
Across from him, Dak Dimon suddenly spoke.
Klein shuddered suddenly and found that his facial expression was a little wrong, so he quickly adjusted it.
"Crab." He responded.
Dark nodded slightly and smiled: "If you are too nervous, you will become a stupid goose."
"Stupid goose?" A big question mark appeared in Klein's mind.
Dark said: "Victory and defeat are common in the military. There is no duelist in this world who will not experience failure. No matter who the opponent is, the best answer is to go all out. Calm down and cheer up."
"Come on!" Klein's eyes moved slightly, and he finally calmed down.
Dark said: "Encourage each other."
After that, he lowered his head to look at the card table and put the card group he just took out into the card slot.
As the words [Preparation Phase] appeared, the card table began to shuffle automatically.
"Beep——"
"Both players take their positions."
The referee whistled to remind them.
Both players prepared calmly.
The audience's attention was also focused.
Behind the [Preparation Phase], a countdown of [30s] appeared.
The duel begins!
Reach out and touch the cards!
“One, two, three, four, five…”
The audience followed the players’ movements and recited in their hearts.
Almost at the same time, both players put the five cards in their left hands, spreading them out like a peacock.
In the players’ seats at a closer distance.
The players of the Nobles’ House were still preparing for their upcoming duel.
They didn’t pay too much attention to the duel between Dark and Klein.
On the other side, the four players in the players’ seats of the Fools’ House were watching carefully.
“I wonder how much skill Klein can get out of Dark Dimon?” Benjamin Leopold whispered with his arms crossed.
Gina Grant, who was very caring towards Klein, rolled her eyes at him and reminded him, "The competition has just begun."
Benjamin Leopold sneered, "Then it's not far from the end."
Gina Grant really disliked this arrogant junior, so she simply ignored him.
Polly Bruno, a fourth-year student, was a very ordinary girl in every aspect. She didn't like to talk much and liked to be alone.
Sandra Wesley, a sixth-year student, had her own pace and was never affected by external factors.
It was strange that the Fools' House could select these players this year.
