Chapter 960

But after a while, Lady Camilla said again: "Forget it, it's the same to watch Dak duel."

Viscountess Fruti also echoed: "Think about it carefully, if the opponent is those senior students, Rose should lose. I don't want to see her lose."

Camilla smiled and said: "Don't be too strict."

Viscountess Fruti shook her head and said: "It's still necessary. If she wants to get what she wants, she needs to be strict with herself."

On the other side, the eldest princess Eliza observed the words and deeds of the two noble ladies, but frowned slightly.

She has not had in-depth contact with these two noble ladies, and has never put them in the position of "competitors".

But some time ago, the second princess suddenly mentioned the marriage of the two little princesses to her...

She spoke to the second princess about the concept of "freedom of marriage" from the standpoint of a good sister.

And then...she was convinced by the princess!

Because she suddenly found that the whole kingdom seemed to have no more suitable candidate than Dak!

And even though the two little princesses were against Dake, she could clearly see that they had a good impression of Dake.

Even considering ZZ's position, this was very appropriate.

However, the two noble ladies in front of her obviously had the same idea.

If they both had their eyes on the young master of another family, Eliza would not be worried.

After all, when choosing between a noble lady and a princess, a normal person would choose a princess.

But Dake Dimon was different.

He had the capital not to choose a princess.

And Dake seemed to be closer to the daughters (nieces) of the two noble ladies!

In other words, in this competition, Eliza and the second princess were currently at a disadvantage.

"Don't think too much." Claire saw her frowning and said, "I finally found some time to come here, so let's put other things aside for now. Dark will appear soon. Do you know his opponent?"

Eliza looked at the projection on the stage and nodded: "Elsie Kevin, the son of the patriarch of the Kevin family. Although the Kevin family has become more and more low-key in recent years, it is one of the few ancient families that has survived to this day, and its foundation cannot be underestimated."

"Well." Claire pondered, "So, Dark may not be easy to defeat."

Eliza smiled and said, "I think so. Every year, the first day of the "Golden Cup" will try to select popular players with equal strength. If the duel is one-sided, the person who arranged the match will be considered derelict in his duty."

Claire said: "Speaking of which, you are also a graduate of St. Marian College."

Eliza nodded and said, "Yes, if I really count it, I have to call you a senior sister."

Claire's smile grew.

...

Elsie Kevin put away the sorting card and stood up from his seat.

He is now fourteen years old, which means he was considered an adult during the war.

In the Kevin family, fourteen years old is still considered an adult.

Therefore, he received the family's coming-of-age ceremony on the day he turned fourteen.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Elsie Kevin was recognized by the elders of the family and officially became the future heir of the family, with the right to enter and exit the family treasure house.

Then he dug out some broken mechanical parts and a damaged "mechanical core" from the treasure house that had existed for who knows how many years!

The so-called "mechanical core", as the name suggests, is the core of the ancient mechanical species, integrating energy and intelligent circuits, and is the source of life for the ancient mechanical species.

As the times have developed to this day, the ancient mechanical species has long become a forgotten technological product.

As the "mechanical core" of the heart of the ancient mechanical species, there is only one left in the open, which is kept in a museum.

Elsie Kevin never thought that he could actually find a "mechanical core" from the "garbage dump" of the family treasure house!

Although the "mechanical core" was seriously damaged, it still has extremely high value.

By studying the "mechanical core", he gained a lot of knowledge related to it and applied it to the improvement of magic technology.

Now he has more confidence!

With the blessings of his relatives and friends, Elsie Kevin walked towards the contestant channel.

...

Two contestants entered the contestant channel one after another.

Several people who paid special attention to this stared at the contestant's name on the stage projection, with different thoughts in their minds.

Angus Jeffrey, who is now in the fifth grade, is sitting in the corner of the Noble Court area, looking at the stage with a gloomy face.

He also signed up for this year's "Golden Cup"!

Although he has been crazy about participating in duel competitions to hone himself after being driven off the throne of the president of the Noble History Research Society.

But this time he signed up for the "Golden Cup" not to hone himself, but for... revenge!

Only by defeating Dark Dimon on the duel stage can he wash away the shame and raise his head again, instead of gradually becoming a marginal figure like now.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it, and when the drum is broken, everyone beats it.

Angus Jeffrey spent the darkest period of his life during this period.

And all of this was caused by Dak Dimon!

If you want to turn things around, you have to step on him.

The "Golden Cup" that can be participated by students from second to sixth grade is the stage he needs most!

"Dak Dimon VS Elsie Kevin!"

When I think of my miscalculation, it started with Elsie Kevin's defeat.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Angus Jeffrey's mouth.

Only through the baptism of failure can we know our own shortcomings.

He is definitely more mature than he was in the past.

…

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly.

As the vice-president, Professor Silver stepped onto the stage and delivered a speech on the first day of the upcoming "Gold Cup".

Her speech was as formulaic as ever, without any faults or too many highlights.

At the end of the sentence, she pressed her hand down and announced loudly: "This year's "Golden Cup" begins now!"

Then amidst thunderous applause, she slowly left the stage and was replaced by the long-awaited Judy.

Host Judy picked up the microphone and said with a bright smile: "The two players who are about to appear in this year's "Golden Cup" must already be household names, but considering the possibility of new viewers, I will briefly introduce them now. "

"We all know that the Gold Cup has always been a home for the senior class. Sophomores, even juniors, have a hard time making waves in the Gold Cup."

"But the two players who appeared today have extraordinary strength to break this common sense!"

"Second grade, House of Lords, Dark Dimon!"

"Third grade, House of Lords, Elsie Kevin!"

"Not only are they both top students in the House of Nobles, but they are also the recipients of the "Red Star" last year and the year before last!"

"Dak Dimon is also the winner of this year's "Golden Orange Star" and has won this award for two consecutive years. I even suspect that he will be able to securely win this award every year after that. ”

"Although our classmate Elsie Kevin has experienced a short period of silence, after he cleared the clouds, he has been completely transformed. Furthermore, he is a strong contender for the third grade title!"

"Coincidentally, the opponent of classmate Dark Dimon in the rookie debut battle is classmate Elsie Kevin."

"I believe that many old spectators present still have fresh memories of that duel."

“Although that duel match ended with Duck Dimon’s success, Elsie Kevin’s performance was also extremely eye-catching.”

"Now that classmate Elsie Kevin has made a comeback, can she defend the dignity of the third grade and wash away the failures of the past?"

"Let's just wait and see!"

…

Judy's voice suddenly became excited.

The audience at the scene applauded at the same time.

The applause, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, kicked off this anticipated duel.

The players from both sides also walked out of the player channel under the guidance of the staff and came to the middle duel venue.

In the summoning areas on both sides of the field, the red and blue magic balls have opened their boundaries and are floating in the air.

Everything is ready.

After the players from both sides nodded to each other, they turned and walked towards the player stands on both sides.

Duck walked up to the red square and found Claire and Arvette in their usual seats in the auditorium. He was slightly surprised when he saw the eldest princess Eliza also coming over.

"It's a pity that Anna and Angel can't participate in the "Golden Cup" yet."

Dak naturally thought this and saw the eldest prince Charles again.

"The eldest prince visits the Duel Branch more frequently than Alvet..."

Duck was actually speechless.

What kind of time management master is this Charles? Can running to the dueling hall every day help him win the throne?

Oh, isn’t the one next to Charles the Archbishop?

"The Archbishop came to the dueling hall on Halloween. Is he here for a pilgrimage?"

The corners of Dak's mouth gradually curved.

Then he raised his hand and waved in the direction of Arvite. After finding a response, he turned back to the card table and injected magic power to activate it.

"Gold Cup" uses a high-level duel mode.

The minimum number of cards in a deck is forty.

The life barrier of the magic balls on both sides is 8000 points.

Since this set of rules is used in the Easter Duel Festival, Dark is no stranger to it.

He put the prepared deck of cards into the card slot on the card table and activated the shuffle.

As the card table was opened, the words "Preparation Stage" appeared on the projection.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Dak prepared to have a little exchange, then raised his head and looked to the opposite side.

Elsie Kevin has an upper-middle appearance, her bangs are meticulously styled with hair oil, and she exudes a serious aura, showing that she attaches great importance to this duel.

He was originally very "well-behaved" and was usually the kind of super top student who did whatever the professor said. On the surface, he didn't show any bad hobbies.

Sufficient talent and hard work that are not inferior to others are the reasons for his rapid growth.

"Senior Kevin, we meet again." Dak greeted him proactively.

The corner of Elsie Kevin's mouth moved slightly, and she even smiled: "I was not expecting to be able to stand on both sides of the stage with you in the first game of the Gold Cup."

"It's really unpredictable." Dak nodded slightly and said, "Senior, are you ready?"

Elsie Kevin said: "This is the right thing for me to ask you. Are you ready?"

Dak smiled slightly and said, "It's not bad. Who calls you a senior?"

"Haha." Elsie Kevin said, "Sometimes I think you are very gifted in socializing. But you don't use it well."

Dake denied, "Actually, I am socially anxious."

Elsie Kevin asked curiously, "What is social anxiety?"

Dake smiled, "It's social phobia."

Elsie Kevin shook his head and said, "You are joking. Let's get ready. I need some time to concentrate."

Dake said, "Focus."

Then he calmed down and waited for the duel to begin.

Elsie Kevin was concentrating.

Although Judy's "complete transformation" was an exaggeration by the host, he had indeed made great progress compared to the rookie competition, and he had a certain degree of confidence.
