The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Chapter 163 Diana Vs White

***edited by x10***

Based on his policy of reducing social interaction and self-cultivation, Dark had little actual interaction with the rest of his classmates except for his good relationship with Dianna and Rose who he could not avoid.

But his classmate Doron undoubtedly left a good impression on him.

A person who was both self-motivated and willing to take action would easily impress people.

As Dark slowly walked off the stage, he anticipated that Doron might have good growth in the future. He would look forward to witnessing it.

...

The round of 16.

Four venues with two rounds per venue.

Winners advanced, and losers exited.

Dark followed Dianna to Court ② to witness her duel.

The number of cards the little magisters had was quite limited, and there wasn't a significant difference in strength among them at this stage.

Therefore, most of the matches in the top sixteen were evenly matched and few people could hide their trump cards.

By watching their games, Dark was able to gauge the strength of their cards to a certain extent.

In the round of 16, Dianna faced player ⑧.

"No. ② and No. ⑧, please enter the venue as soon as possible!"

The head of Knight House, Professor Silver blew her whistle.

"Dianna! You can do it!"

After Rose's cheers, Dianna stepped onto the red-side contestant platform in high spirits.

The blue-side player who appeared on the other side was the son of the Brave One!

"So White is number 8?"

Dark's heart moved slightly, and he held some expectations for this game.

But Rose beside him clenched her fingers, worried: "How could it be White? There will be no more matches for losers in the round of 16..."

Dark asked curiously, "Why do you think Dianna will lose?"

"But." Rose pointed her fingers together and said hesitantly, "But isn't the son of the Brave One very strong?"

Dark: "Uh."

Maybe.

After all, he won the second place amongst the first-year students in the Halloween event.

Dark suddenly found that he hadn't paid attention to the progress of White's strength for a long time...

"I don't know if he has made some new magic cards."

...

There seemed to be a lot of people paying extra attention to this game.

The son of the Brave One seemed to still be the focus of people’s attention.

A lot of people gathered outside the court to spectate.

Emma Mortis, who won the previous match, had come to spectate with two girls, who often sat next to them.

Robert Brogheim could also be seen in the crowd ready to watch the match.

Sara Swati was also around the court and her popularity in the Magister House seemed to be great.

Most of the girls in the Magister House were gathering around her.

With silver hair and brown skin, she was very conspicuous amongst the students.

And the largest group gathered outside the court was naturally the students of Knight House.

Although White felt that people were no longer interested in him, the people who were paying attention to him before were still paying attention to him. It was just that they were not as enthusiastic as they were before.

At the first contact, the students would instinctively feel that "the son of the brave one will definitely be an excellent student".

But now, that kind of thinking has gradually changed, and it has become "the son of the brave one should have something special".

Besides, Knight House already had an "extraordinarily good" representative!

They pinned their expectations more on Emma.

So they no longer cared that much about White.

...

In many thoughts, the game kicked off!

[Preparation Phase]

Dianna stood on tiptoe to make herself appear taller, but then gave up when she got tired.

The height of the card table on the player platform was uncomfortable for her, but fortunately, she could still manage.

After putting the deck into the card slot according to the rules, she looked up at White who was on the opposite side, raised her hand, and greeted enthusiastically, "Hey! How are you!"

In fact, White, who felt a little heavy in his heart, didn't respond to her because he was distracted.

Dianna puffed out her cheeks, thinking she'd have to push harder later.

[30s]

The shuffle was over and the whistle blew.

A countdown appeared directly above the table.

The players on both sides immediately put away distracting thoughts and started to draw cards.

Dianna looked at the [Gaia Bear] in her hand and smiled.

"Lucky."

[Gaia Bear] was the magical spirit she refined using the "basic refining method" in class.

Among the many trash cards, this two-star magic card was still her favorite.

[Card name: Gaia Bear]

[Type: Spirit card]

[Level: ✪✪]

[Races: Bird & Beast-type]

[Attributes: Ground]

[Magic Energy: 1000]

[Attack: 800]

[Defense:1000]

[Ultimate: Earth Power, Bond of Bears]

...

Its magic energy and defense reached the top level of the two-star magic card and at the same time, its attack power was not weak either.

In terms of skills, it had two ultimates, which made it a relatively rare purple card.

In addition, these two ultimates were very practical.

...

And the other side.

White also drew five cards.

Amongst those cards, the card [Troll] made him feel at ease.

Unfortunately, he failed to draw [Forbidden Love] at the start.

[Phantom Magic Beast: Stag], [Forbidden Love], [Troll], and another 3-star magical spirit, were the core of his deck.

Recently, he also looked for opportunities to "gamble cards". Although he only gambled a few times, he was lucky.

He dripped his own blood into the "No. 1 magic refining circle" and finally got a new 3-star card.

But he hadn’t drawn that card yet.

...

[Battle Phase][30s]

...

The moment the first round began.

Without hesitation, both sides began to summon the magical spirits.

White was faster than Dianna, but only to a small extent.

Dianna's own magic energy talent was quite outstanding. Although it was not comparable to the blood of the brave one, it was still great.

They were just two seconds apart.

The starting spirits of the two sides appeared one after another!

This wasn't the first time White's Troll made an appearance.

Its tall body, which was very rare among the 3-star magical spirit, made it extremely noticeable.

Its three stats that completely overwhelmed the stats of [Lesser Basarios] in all aspects made Troll extremely fierce!

[Card name: Troll]

[Type: Spirit card]

[Level: ✪✪✪]

[Races: Sub-human-type]

[Attributes: Normal]

[Magic Energy: 1200]

[Attack: 1500]

[Defense: 1400]

[Ultimate: Double-Edge, Frenzy]

...

Whether it was panel data or its impressiveness, Troll was a solid winner!

"Crush it, Troll!"

Once in the duel, White had a natural fighting spirit.

He knew that Dianna's [Gaia Bear] was just a two-star card, and could not be Troll's opponent.

"Roar!"

Troll beat its chest with both hands and roared.

After wasting a few seconds roaring, it finally rushed up.

"Gaia Bear, defend!"

Dianna immediately issued an order, and the second magic card in her hand was ready soon.

"Bang!"

After a loud bang.

Gaia Bear successfully held off Troll's two-handed hammer strike!

But its magic energy value also dropped a lot because of this.

However, the [Earth Power] constantly pouring up from its feet slowly restored its magic energy a little.

Then, the first round ended.

Dianna did not draw the card immediately, but successfully summoned the second magic card!

——[Phantom Magic Beast: Polar Bear]!

Almost simultaneously.

[Bond of Bears] was triggered!

A yellow halo appeared under Gaia Bear's feet.

Its magic energy, attack, and defense increased by 200 points at the same time!

This brought Gaia Bear’s stats closer to Troll's.

Dianna reached out and drew two new magic cards.
