Chapter 479
The two players who appeared in the first round of the senior group semi-finals were the fourth-year student of the Noble Academy who defeated the fifth-year player, and the only sixth-year student.
After leaving the stage, Dak did not go to the ring belt, but watched the game at the entrance and exit of the player channel while replenishing magic for the magic card.
The other players who did not participate in the competition were also in the same player channel.
The remaining two players in the senior group, "Dragon Slayer" Luke Beck and "Night Baron" Noah Sharp were classmates. The two were obviously familiar with each other, but they did not seem to get along and stood very far away.
However, it is also true that a "dragon user" and a "dragon slayer" certainly cannot get together.
The atmosphere in the junior group was slightly more harmonious.
Dak also knew Senior Sister Mary, and they could say a few words to each other.
As for the other third-year player, Tom Nixon from the Fool Academy, he kept his head down and didn't talk much.
In such an atmosphere, the duel began.
…
Although the result of the senior duel had nothing to do with him, Dark still watched it very seriously.
However, the two players in this duel had a huge gap in strength.
From the beginning of the "battle stage", the situation has become one-sided.
As a fourth-year student of the Noble Academy, he has never been able to defeat the strong like Dark Dimon, and was suppressed by the sixth-year student from beginning to end.
It seemed that as soon as he came to his senses, the fourth-year student of the Noble Academy was already dead.
…
"I didn't expect it to be my turn so soon."
Mary Bond took a slight breath and straightened her back against the wall.
Dark asked with concern: "Senior, do you have a chance of winning?"
Mary glanced at Tom Nixon opposite her, and then waved her fist: "Speaking of a chance of winning..."
Dark: "Huh?"
Mary smiled: "Of course not." Then she turned around and stepped out of the contestant channel.
Dark opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a long time.
"She is really free and easy."
Dake shook his head and collected his thoughts.
Although Senior Mary defeated Elsie Kevin in the last duel, if you observe the game carefully, you will find that her hard power is actually slightly inferior to Elsie Kevin.
Being able to win is the result of a combination of many factors.
But when facing the top third-year student Tom Nixon, her advantages are unlikely to be shown.
As she said herself, there is no chance of winning.
However, duelists never give up.
Even if there is no way forward, you must believe in yourself and believe in miracles, and you will eventually open up the light!
…
Although this statement seems a bit second-year, the power of the mind can indeed create miracles.
And the opponent may suddenly do something stupid, right?
Dake smiled slightly and turned to look at another contestant who was about to appear.
So his eyes happened to intersect with Tom Nixon's.
Tom Nixon is in the third grade, which means he is fourteen years old.
In this world, fourteen years old is the age to get married, have children, and take on family responsibilities.
Although the rapid changes of the times have given children more time to grow up, Tom is a child from the slums and is more aware of the ups and downs of society.
It was the first time that Dak came into contact with this senior from the Fool Academy, so he couldn't help but observe him carefully.
From the face point of view, Tom's hair was slightly split, and his bangs were too long to cover his eyes. He looked very low-key, but not as gloomy as Stuart Forne.
He looked very natural and ordinary.
Just like a boy you can see everywhere.
But it was this boy who defeated senior Winnie Skadi, a descendant of the Winter Sage, in the previous duel.
From the beginning, Dak regarded Winnie Skadi as an opponent who needed to be overcome on the road to victory, but he didn't expect that she would be eliminated in the first round of the main competition.
Tom Nixon, who defeated Winnie Skadi, of course attracted his attention.
As the two looked at each other, Tom Nixon suddenly raised his hand, opened his five fingers to Dak, and then slightly closed them, letting his thumb rest under his index finger.
Before Dak could express his doubts, he quickly turned around and walked out of the passage.
"What do you mean?"
Dak recalled Tom Nixon's gesture and was confused.
But Noah Sharp, the "Night Baron" who was also here, suddenly said, "Do you know him?"
"Me and him?"
Dak glanced at Tom Nixon's back and shook his head, "No."
"That's strange." Noah Sharp touched his chin and pondered.
This fifth-year senior from the Knight Academy was only sixteen years old, but he was already quite tall. Although he looked ordinary, he had a very stable and reliable feeling.
Dak didn't know him. He only knew from the previous introduction that he had saved his home and was awarded the title of Baron.
But since it was Noah Sharp who initiated the conversation, there was no reason for him to hold back, so he asked, "Excuse me, what does Senior Tom Nixon's gesture mean?"
"That's the custom of some minority tribes."
"Dragon Slayer" Luke Becky, who had been silent, suddenly explained, "Tom is telling you that he will eat you."
"Eat me?" Dak was even more confused.
Noah Sharp glanced at him and said, "That's why I asked you if you know him. This is not an ordinary greeting, but I treat you as the prey to be hunted."
Dak looked puzzled.
Seeing that the junior seemed to be shocked, Noah Sharp laughed and comforted him, "Don't think too much. You are really good for a first-year student to beat two third-year students in a row. Even if you lose next, you can still gain a lot of popularity. In St. Marian, popularity can be converted into credits. You have to work hard."
After speaking, Noah Sharp walked out of the passage a little and prepared to watch the game.
He was not too enthusiastic about Dak because of his identity.
In fact, this is the general attitude of a promising magician towards the nobles.
Although Noah Sharp has the title of baron, he doesn't think he values the aristocratic system.
Then, "Dragon Slayer." Luke Beck also walked out of the passage.
In the passage, only Dak was left thinking carefully.
But in the situation of being puzzled, Dak could only temporarily restrain his thoughts and watch the game seriously.
Zach Wilson, who returned to the commentary platform, has begun his passionate commentary.
After exchanging with the commentator of the senior group, he returned to Angus Jeffrey's side, secretly watching Jeffrey's angry expression, but inexplicably felt a little happy in his heart.
Of course, it's okay to laugh in his heart, but he can't laugh in front of others.
Now that he is back on the commentary platform, he can play drastically again.
In this duel between Mary Bond and Tom Nixon, there is a slight gap in strength on paper, but after experiencing Dak Dimon's underdog, the audience has more enthusiasm for this duel between juniors and seniors.
Moreover, the duel styles of the two players on the field are actually quite special, and they have indeed accumulated some niche fans.
Therefore, the atmosphere at the beginning of the duel is very good.
After both sides stepped onto the player platform, they directly skipped the communication (trash talk) link and entered the preparation stage.
Then shuffle, draw, summon, and the duel begins!
…
"Is the winner between these two people Dark's opponent in the final?" Diana asked with wide eyes in the ring.
Pandora nodded with a smile: "That's right. If Dark wants to gain the final advantage, he must defeat the winner between the two of them."
Diana couldn't help but say: "It looks difficult."
The duel between Mary Bond and Tom Nixon was unexpectedly fierce.
Or rather, Mary Bond was unexpectedly strong!
In this duel, she strongly demonstrated the qualifications that a spiritual mage should have.
Her magic spirit is not as intelligent as Dark, but the performance is extremely close.
"Diana, she looks like you." Rose was also surprised.
But Diana looked puzzled: "Eh? How are they similar?"
Rose shook her head: "I can't tell."
Pandora stared at Diana's face for a while and said: "Watch the battle carefully, you will gain something."
Diana: "Oh."
...
"Really good talent."
In another part of the ring belt, "Leah Goethe" with a new look showed an approving look.
But she was not paying attention to Mary Bond, but to Tom Nixon.
...
While Mary Bond showed the talent of "Mind Mage", Tom Nixon showed another talent that only a few people could see.
That is different from "Mind Mage", the talent of "Blood Mage"!
Explore the roots of blood, build blood-to-blood connection with magic elves, let the instinct of blood fill the core of magic elves, and exert unimaginable power.
This is "Blood Mage".
Different from the system of "Mind Power", "Blood Mage" uses "Blood Power".
It doesn't matter which one is stronger or weaker.
But "psychic power" is actually a system that can be popularized in a sense.
And "blood power" is the patent of very few people.
Tom Nixon, a mixed-blood, seems to have the key to open the door of "blood power".
...
In the duel field.
The battle between Mary Bond and Tom Nixon's magic elf gradually deviated from the framework of ordinary battles.
It was like a warrior proficient in martial arts and a bloodthirsty beast fighting to the death. The data on the panel seemed to have become an insignificant embellishment for them.
Mary Bond, who knew she had no chance of winning from the beginning, fully enjoyed the pleasure of the duel.
And Tom Nixon, who was sure of winning, gradually calmed down after encountering unexpected fierce resistance.
The beast in his heart under his ordinary appearance slowly showed its fangs.
The fierceness of the battle triggered a frenzy.
...
Duck Dimon's eyes were focused and he was fully focused.
The duel between the two people in the field completely attracted his attention, and his blood, which had just cooled down, boiled again.
As for the gesture Tom Nixon made to him before the game, he had already thrown it into the Javanese country.
There was no point in dwelling on such things.
Next, if Tom Nixon won.
