Chapter 2373

But that’s already tomorrow’s game.

If the players from Saint Marian College want to consider these, they need to pass the Sky Magic Academy level today.

That's not easy.

It can even be said to be very difficult.

After watching these two rounds of games this morning, the students of St. Marian College are no longer blindly optimistic.

The Ocean Magic Academy didn't show much in the match against the Royal Academy.

But the duel between the War Totem Academy and the Elven Magic Academy required all the effort.

Just by immersing yourself in them, you can realize their power.

If you cannot keep up with your own strength, it will be difficult to win a duel with them.

St. Marian College is actually quite struggling.

However, each academy has its own strengths. Players from the Sky Magic Academy do not focus on physical strength like the orcs and elves.

Judging from what has been shown so far, their style is more inclined to traditional duelists.

Of course, there are always special races that are born with great power.

This in itself is a human disadvantage.

Students at St. Marian's College also avoided a lot.

The emergence of magic technology was originally intended to eliminate racial disadvantages.

After all, [5+100] and [10+100] are definitely closer to the combat power multipliers than [5] and [10].

But thinking of this, Dak was vaguely aware of the imbalance in the existing rules.

The gap in individual abilities will indeed make mid- to low-end magic duels unbalanced.

That is not only factors such as muscle strength, speed, and reaction, but also factors such as vitality and endurance.

The duelist's personal death has indeed enriched the tactics of magic duels, but it has also made the impact of magic technology itself on the outcome relatively small.

This will not have that big an impact on high-end magic duels.

But the new duel rules can't just be

Serving high-end duelists, the majority of mid- to low-end duellists are.

Even Shinto rituals require mid-to-low-end duelists as a foundation.

The purpose of high-end duelists is to break through the upper limit, and mid- to low-end duelists are still needed to lay a good foundation.

These things are difficult to expose without actual operation.

However, this [College Competition] itself has an experimental nature.

Only when problems are exposed can they be corrected promptly.

But, how should it be corrected?

Restricting the duelist's use of his or her own power defeats the original purpose.

The goal of the correction is to increase the proportion of magical technology that affects the outcome of duels.

Duck couldn't help but think.

…

The road from the open-air dueling hall to the canteen is not long, but Duck has thought about a lot of things.

When he was sitting at the table in the cafeteria before he knew it, a glimmer of inspiration suddenly struck him.

He finally found out where the violation of the magic duel under the existing rules lies!

He looked up and saw Deanna and Aurora discussing which part of the contestant meal was the best.

Emma and Sarah were arguing over their differences in the morning's viewing.

Anna and An Qi were snickering for some reason.

Werther was dealing with Robert coming over.

Duck glanced at his dinner plate and found that two pieces of wagyu beef were missing.

…

The presence of duelists in person makes the magic duel under the existing rules too complicated.

If you want to make Magical Duel more like Magical Duel, you can't make additions, you can only make subtractions.

Off-site restrictions are necessary, but the college has already considered this.

At present, what needs to be adjusted more is the on-field rules.

Eliminate useless complex factors to make Magical Duel more streamlined and intuitive, but without putting the cart before the horse and violating the original intention.

To do this, you only need to reintroduce an old factor.

That's... the health system!

Dark realized.

The reason why Magical Duel has become less like Magical Duel.

It's not because of the individual abilities of the duelists.

It's because of the lack of a health system!

The reintroduction of the health system can make Magic Duel intuitive, and the damage caused by each player's attack can be accurately measured.

The sense of unevenness caused by the strength of the duelist's own vitality will also be greatly weakened.

The ambiguity is the real violation of the magic duel under the existing rules.

However, before Hermes awakened, it was very difficult to add such a rule-changing element to the Magical Duel.

Even if Principal Arte had full authority, it would still take a very long time.

This needs to be considered in the long run.

Based on this, many details can be changed accordingly.

For example, add character cards.

Allow duelists to obtain their own character cards when launching a duel field.

The character card is used to display the duelist's attack, defense and health, as well as the skills that can be used in a duel.

If this rule can be implemented.

In future magic duels, the tournament team can use this method to limit the number of skills that duelists can use.

Of course, character cards are just for display, not real restrictions.

This can be used as a criterion for determining the rules of the game.

Duelists themselves can also use character cards to evaluate their own offense and defense in real time.

The health value can be fixed at 4000/8000/16000 and so on as before.

Deciding the winner by life value can completely solve the problem that every duel has to be a life-and-death duel.

Now it seems that it is not a good rule.

It also makes some tactical ideas that magic duels originally have unusable.

In addition.

Another advantage of having a role card.

It is that you can specify rules manually, prohibit attacks, and let magic duels return to tradition.

——It is not to give up the new rules, but to make traditional duels an optional mode.

Mages are free and omnipotent, and magic duels should not be restricted by fixed rules.

The organizers hold duel competitions and show different characteristics through different rules, so that a hundred flowers can bloom.

As for private duels.

Whether it is a matter of life and death or a matter of superiority and inferiority, it is naturally a private matter.

…

Dark's thoughts became clearer, but the food on the plate gradually decreased.

"Dang."

He poked lightly, and the fork had touched the bottom.

When he looked up again, his companions had basically finished eating.

"Have you thought it through?"

Emma glanced at him and asked casually.

Dak couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's about right."

Emma said, "Now that you've thought it through, let's discuss the game. Sky Magic Academy, our opponent."

Dak nodded and asked, "What do you think?"

But after he looked around, he found that the players were all looking at him.

"Okay." Dak sighed, "I mean, improvise?"

"Eh? What's this method?" Robert shouted immediately.

"Pa!" Witt slapped him hard and said, "We have to talk about business, you go away."

Robert was not annoyed, picked up the plate and said, "Then I'll leave first, and I'll cheer you on the sidelines."

Witt waved his hand with a look of disdain and said, "Go, go."

Robert left happily.

After the outsiders left, they continued to discuss.

But as Dak said, they seemed to be unable to do anything except improvise.

After all, there was too little information about Sky Magic Academy.

And among them, there were not many who were capable of dealing with the nine-star magic elves that could be specially recruited in the first round.

"Strive for three wins," Emma said, "and then leave it to Dark."

This is the most conservative way of thinking.

"That's not good," Witt said, "You can't be timid before the battle."

Emma glared at him and said, "I'm discussing this rationally."

Witt argued, "No matter what, we still need to win four out of six games, right?"

Emma said, "Then count out four!"

Witt scratched his head and looked at his teammates one by one.

The second-year Anna and Angie smiled at him.

Jon shook his head unceremoniously.

The third-year, Doron shrugged, saying that he really couldn't do it.

Although he had made some progress, it was still too difficult for him to fight against the nine-star magic elves in the first round.

If he was needed, he would definitely go, but now that it was a discussion stage, he rationally excluded himself from the combat range.

Witt continued to sweep over.

Rose shook her head slightly, indicating that she couldn't do it either.

Diana, on the other hand, held her head high, looking like she was the best candidate.

Witt looked at the second grade again.

But he didn't know Aurora and Vivian, the second graders, at all, and it was not easy to assign the responsibility to the second graders.

But...
