Konoha: Naruto will win no matter what choice he makes! Chapter 159

【Fantasy Beast】 is usually a one-star card with 100 magic, 100 attack, and 100 defense.

However, the base power of 【Magic Bullet Curse】 is only 100 points.

Even with the infusion of magic, the power of 【Magic Bullet Curse】 will increase, but the actual damage it causes is still not significant.

However, Eevee below had already been eyeing it.

When Seawall’s Fantasy Beast was struck down from the air, Eevee casually gave it a claw!

…

As the two magic spirits were successively defeated, Seawall bit his lip slightly and summoned his last magic spirit—the one he had forged in class using the “Basic Alchemy Method”!

This one-star magic spirit also failed to escape Eevee-chan’s abuse and was quickly defeated.

…

“Battle end!”

“Winner: Dark Demon.”

As Seawall’s only three magic spirits were defeated, Professor Jones judged that Seawall no longer had the ability to stop Dark from attacking the magic orb, and immediately declared the winner.

【End Phase】

The words displayed above the card table changed again.

According to the normal process.

Next should be the communication (taunt), card collection, and declaration segments.

The winner accepts interviews and makes a declaration.

The loser leaves some words like “Green hills remain, flowing waters endure.”

This duel would then end.

But the atmosphere of the in-class competition was not so aggressive.

Seawall left the player’s stage early with a long face.

Dark also put away his cards and left the stage after winning.

…

“How does it feel, winning the duel?”

Professor Jones asked as he watched Dark walk back.

Dark sighed slightly: “It’s alright, just a bit bland.”

Professor Jones nodded: “Indeed, this was not an evenly matched duel. Perhaps the second-year competition is more suitable for you.”

Dark was slightly startled: “Second-year?”

…

With Dark’s successful replacement.

The 9-to- 5 round ended smoothly.

The schedule progressed to the fourth small round, 5-to- 4.

Professor Jones once again separated Dark, making it 4-to- 3.

Of the remaining four players, two pairs would first compete against each other to determine two winners, and then the two losers would compete for the final promotion spot.

When the first round was completely over, it was already one o’clock in the afternoon.

Professor Jones reassembled the students from the Noble House and announced loudly: “The first round of the competition ends here. Winners, do not be arrogant; losers, do not be discouraged. No duelist is ever undefeated. As your professor, I hope you all gain something from this competition. Now, I will announce the list of qualifiers. First, Dark Demon!”

Dark, who had only appeared once as a substitute, stepped forward.

“Diana Gratebayre!”

Diana timidly sidled up to Dark.

“Teddy Doron!”

The red-haired boy held his head high, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

“Johnny Yorkson!”

A lanky boy, half a head taller than his peers, walked out.

Professor Jones glanced around, nodded in satisfaction: “You four will represent our Noble House in the second round of dueling this afternoon. I don’t want to say much, just bring back a championship.”

“Yes!”

Doron’s powerful response echoed through the venue.

The other three opened their mouths, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Professor Jones couldn’t help but smile, clapping his hands: “Next, you have an hour and a half to eat and rest. At 2:30, reassemble here. Dismissed!”

…

The little mages immediately scattered.

Rose trotted over and frolicked with Diana.

The three walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the cafeteria.

Even though it was already one o’clock in the afternoon, the food in the cafeteria was still plentiful.

The halfling chefs always made sure to keep the food above a certain temperature to maintain the best possible taste.

After Dark ordered a few dishes, he sat down at an empty table.

After a while, Diana and Rose sat down successively.

The three ate lunch together, just as they had done for nearly half of the noons over the past three months.

Diana stuffed a piece of roast lamb into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out, and asked indistinctly: “Dark, was my performance today alright?”

Dark thought back for a moment.

Diana’s performance was indeed quite excellent among the first-year students of the Noble House at this time.

Her bear-series magic spirits were powerful enough, and unexpectedly, she not only had magic spirit cards obtained through “card gambling” but also several additional magic cards.

Especially one of them, 【Bear’s Strength】, helped her turn the tide in the final duel of the first round!

So Dark deliberated: “You performed very well.”

Diana felt a little shy and proud after hearing this, and couldn’t help but want to reveal her “little secret.”

But Dark raised his index finger and reminded her: “The alchemy method for magic cards cannot be revealed casually. For a mage, every secret formula is a huge fortune.”

“It’s fine,” Diana didn’t seem to care, “I just found a note in a book and followed it, and it succeeded.”

Dark said with a straight face: “That’s also your opportunity.”

Diana: “Girls, okay.”

Rose repeatedly looked at the two, unable to help but smile.

…

Lunch that day was still harmonious.

The chill of early winter seemed to have been dispelled.

…

Around two o’clock in the afternoon.

The little mages, who should have been wandering around Traveler’s Street, returned to Combat Hall No. 1.

The four professors gathered together to discuss the first round of matches in the morning, commenting on the students in their respective academies.

As the conversation progressed, they inevitably focused on a few key figures.

Claire, who was in charge of the students from the Fool’s House, sighed slightly: “This batch of students from the Fool’s House still needs to grow. Since my student days, their talents have always required time to accumulate before they can blossom.”

Professor Lily glanced at her; “Like Peter Shelvich?”

Professor Sylvie quickly glared at her and warmed up the atmosphere: “Shelvich is indeed a model of accumulating strength before bursting forth. Lily, does the Magic Academy seem to have many outstanding students this year?”

Lily smiled: “Yes, our Dark Demon from the Magic Academy is very outstanding.”

Professor Jones rolled his eyes: “You’re practically trying to tie him to your leg.”

Lily, instead, was proud: “Of course, he’s Lily’s little darling.”

Claire couldn’t help but frown.

Professor Sylvie said speechlessly: “Let’s get to the point, how was Sarah Swati’s performance?”

Professor Lily straightened her expression: “She has already reached the point of applying knowledge to practice. It is said that she is the granddaughter of the Ancient Sage?”

Claire casually interjected: “She’s his daughter.”

Lily was startled, a hint of disbelief appearing on her face: “No way? The Ancient Sage is that old!”

Claire: “Have you heard of ‘old but strong’?”
