Professor’s mouth twitched, but he still explained, “From the panel data, Shuckle is indeed a very rare magic spirit, and no one has been able to research its fixed refining method yet. Its rarity mainly lies in its defense value of up to 2200, which is the absolute limit that a first-tier magic spirit can reach.”

Dark slightly nodded.

Normally, the peak attack and defense of a three-star magic spirit card should be 1500.

The textbooks clearly record the peak attack and defense of magic spirits of various star levels.

1 Star: 500

2 Stars: 1000

3 Stars: 1500

4 Stars: 2000

5 Stars: 2500

6 Stars: 3000

7 Stars: 3500

8 Stars: 4000

9 Stars: 4500

…

These peak attack and defense values are achieved by sacrificing one of the stats.

But there are always a few exceptions.

Shuckle is one of them.

As a three-star magic spirit, Shuckle sacrifices far more than just attack.

Its weaknesses are very obvious: extremely slow speed and a petite body of only 0.6 meters high, making it unable to be a qualified tank.

So, while Shuckle is rare, its versatility isn’t high.

But what Dark held in his hand was a [Golden] Shuckle!

And its four skills were all very practical.

[Sturdy: Passive skill. Magic spirits with this skill cannot be instantly killed.]

[Power Split: Uses psychic power to add its own and the opponent’s attack, then splits them equally.]

[Guard Split: Uses psychic power to add its own and the opponent’s defense, then splits them equally.]

[Power Trick: Uses psychic power to swap its own attack and defense values.]

With these four skills, Shuckle, though unable to be a qualified tank, could become a qualified trickster.

In a formal duel, it would undoubtedly become an enemy’s nightmare!

…

Of course, Dark couldn’t expose Shuckle’s skill information.

Only the magic power, attack, and defense stats are displayed on a magic spirit card; ultimate skills are all hidden.

Professor Kazel was curious but didn’t inquire further.

He smiled slightly, “Demon, Lady Luck truly favors you.”

Dark nodded, “I think so too.”

Heh.

…

After completing the practical class as the “first place” as expected, Dark began to observe others’ refining techniques.

Perhaps because they had experience refining [Illusory Beasts], the junior magi performed quite well in this class, and many successfully refined magic spirit cards.

The second to succeed after Dark was, as expected, Emma.

Since Emma didn’t summon her magic spirit in class, Dark didn’t know what kind of [Golden Beast] she refined.

There were simply too many types of magic spirits, many not even recorded in books.

But the most eye-catching person in this class was the Hero’s son!

White’s magic spirit card refinement was completed with an explosion.

When everyone looked over because of it, he, with a face blackened by the explosion, pulled out a complete magic card from the ashes!

Probably impatient to see what his magic spirit looked like, he summoned it directly at the back of the classroom.

It was actually a giant!

The colossal creature, standing upright and almost touching the ceiling, let out a terrifying roar as soon as it appeared, as if venting!

“Wow!”

White wiped the dirt off his face, revealing his pearly white teeth, and looked up excitedly.

“If I had this earlier, I wouldn’t have…”

Robert asked in confusion, “White, what did you say?”

“Nothing,” White laughed loudly. “Don’t you think my giant is handsome?”

Robert couldn’t help but cover his nose, “I don’t know if he’s handsome, but he doesn’t look very smart.”

White happily said, “Isn’t that how giants are? Brainless, strong, and thick-skinned. But what’s being brainless as a weakness? I have a brain, that’s enough.”

Robert: “Makes sense.”

As the two spoke, Professor Kazel had already walked over: “Gaud, how can you summon a giant in the classroom?”

White quickly said, “I’ll put him away right now.”

But the news that the Hero’s son had refined a giant was already known to the whole class.

Giants are standard three-star top-tier magic spirits, with both attack and defense, often seen in competitions.

This undoubtedly gave White a big show-off.

…

Of course, compared to White’s [Giant], Dark was more concerned about the magic spirit Diana refined.

It was a brown [Earth Bear]!

As expected of a member of the Kingdom Bear clan, she really had a connection with bears!

Diana hugged her magic spirit card delightedly, turning around and showing it off constantly.

Dark could only coax her back like a child.

On the other side, Rose also completed her second refinement before class ended and successfully refined her own magic spirit.

It was a rabbit-type magic spirit, just like her [Illusory Beast: Snow Rabbit], and seemed to possess healing ultimate skills.

…

This class was an incredibly huge leap for the first-year students.

Most of the first-year students now had their first magic spirit that could appear in battles.

At the same time, having learned how to refine magic spirits, they would finally be able to purchase materials and refine on their own in the days to come.

It could almost be said that from this moment on, they had truly entered the field.

…

What surprised Dark was this.

As soon as the afternoon’s Potionology class ended, White and Robert actually approached him.

And proposed a duel!

Dark was immediately surprised.

Although he was well-versed in school rules and knew that the academy strongly supported formal duels between students, he still couldn’t understand White’s behavior.

“Has White evolved into the protagonist of a fantasy webnovel, finding the protagonist’s unique rhythm: gaining strength → showing off and slapping faces → gaining strength → showing off and slapping faces →… and I’ve become the one getting slapped?”

With a hint of a strange expression, Dark asked, “Why?”

He didn’t expect White to be prepared.

He and Robert exchanged glances, seemingly drawing strength from his good friend’s eyes, and immediately said, “I know you haven’t looked at me properly since the start of the semester.”

Dark: “Huh?”

White: “Don’t deny it, I can feel your attitude towards me.”

Dark: “Oh.”

White: “But today, I will definitely let you know that we are on the same level!”

(´-﹏-`；)

Dark: “Then do you know the rules for student duels?”

White asked in confusion, “Fair, just, public?”

Dark couldn’t help but want to cover his face: “It’s betting at least 100 academic credits.”

White: “Huh?”

So you came with a rush of enthusiasm without knowing anything?

Duels, how can they not come with a price?
