The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

No. 1 dueling hall.

The dueling club staff had already set up the venue before noon.

Although the dueling club was still headed by students, the three advising professors had the most say.

And Professor Pavar Jones was one of them.

Today's Professor Jones was still dressed in a leisurely manner, with only a casual jacket. She tied the hem of her clothes in a bow above her abdomen, showing her rock-like abdominal muscles without fear of the cold.

She was like a beacon standing out from the crowd when she stood before the crowd of students.

Beside her was an elderly man.

The old man's beard and hair were all grey, but his back was straight and he was wearing a very thick cotton-padded coat.

Today's dueling club recruitment was supervised by a total of two advising professors, Pavar Jones and Hans Fox.

"Do you think little Demon will come this afternoon?" Professor Fox rubbed the corners of his eyes, probably because of his age, he always felt that the recent vision loss was particularly serious.

"It should come." Professor Jones stood with her arms folded before her chest, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

The competition between professors was very simple. Whoever had the best students had the loudest voice.

Professor Fox had always relied on his old qualifications and looked down on new professors like them. Today, she finally found a chance to get even with him!

...

The secret contest between the two advising professors made the president of the dueling club speechless.

No one would like to be stared at by professors while they were doing their errands.

Although recruiting new members of the dueling club was not a trivial matter, it had not yet reached the point where it needed to be monitored by a professor. ŘÅ𐌽Ǒ𐌱ĚＳ

In the past, the professors would only ask a question or two after the recruiting was over.

"Is it because the son of the Brave One?" The president of the club felt a headache. He was already in the fifth year this year, and he would graduate in one year. According to the rules, he needed to complete the transition this semester and give up the position of the club president.

But having served as a club president at the Saint Marian Academy, and successfully leaving the post, would bring great benefits to his job search. The premise was to successfully leave the post!

"I hope no one would create trouble this semester."

The president of the dueling club was called Joe William. He was a red-haired, tall and sturdy boy, who was born into a noble family.

Although his father was a small nobleman, his mother was just a housemaid. So his status at birth was very awkward.

It was the invitation letter from Saint Marian Academy that saved his life. Since he was admitted into the academy, his mother, who used to be a maid, successfully became a noble lady, and he was also finally recognized by his father.

After he graduated smoothly, took up a job successfully, and slowly became a famous magister, he would be able to help his father improve his status. As long as everything went well, he felt that his efforts would not be in vain.

"President, can you be more confident? If a person can't even admit his own excellence, what's the difference between that person and kitchen waste?"

The vice president of the dueling club, Inya Nate, showed a disgusting expression as usual.

Inya Nate, who came from a knight family, was a student of Knight House, just like President William.

Inya was chosen by William when she was in the second year, promoted to vice president in the third year, and was now in the fourth year.

When President William steps down, she would be the new president of the dueling club!

Unlike the indecisive Joe William, Inya had a decisive personality, self-confidence and tenacity, completely inheriting the character of her father.

Inya's hair color was yellowish, with a single ponytail, and her dashing brows fully revealed her heroic personality.

Even standing next to the tall and strong William, it still couldn't conceal her tall and slender figure.

All in all, she was a very attractive woman.

William scratched the corner of his mouth and said helplessly: "I'm not good at anything, except that I'm a little more diligent than others, and I'm a little better physically, and I can stay up all night."

Inya rolled her eyes and didn't bother to argue with him: "Open the door, it's time to let the new people in."

...

At this time.

There were already many people waiting outside the door of dueling hall No. 1.

Because the recruitment was held in the dueling hall, and there was no rule that other people couldn't accompany or watch, so almost all the first-year students came =.=...

On the contrary, it was the third time for the second-year students to face the dueling club recruitment, so there were that many second-year students.

The rest of the students in the higher grades are naturally fewer.

Dark didn't squeeze into the crowd, but stood just a little further away, poking the little Eevee on the card with his finger to pass the time.

Eevee-chan avoided his finger shyly, but it was very happy in its heart.

Dianna, who was beside Dark, could barely hold back her excitement, standing on tiptoe to look over the crowd from time to time.

Rose was holding her hand to prevent her from squeezing into the crowd.

The dueling club's recruitment was in no particular order, so it was meaningless to squeeze to the front.

Another two minutes passed.

The main entrance of dueling hall No. 1 finally opened from the inside.

The students who had been waiting for a long time poured in immediately, and the crowd outside was getting smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that it was finally not that crowded, Dark entered the hall with the other two without any hurry.

There was nothing that could make people's eyes light up in the hall, just a few ordinary banners hanging.

Not far from the entrance, there were three counters in total.

Students needed to register at the counters and present their magic cards.

Anyone who had 20 magic cards could get a number card.

Next, they just needed to hold the number card and wait for their turns to play.

The dueling club judges would grade the students' performance in the duel.

Each duel would have three judges.

And each student would have three chances to play.

In total, they would get nine scores.

After removing the highest score and the lowest score, and then calculating the average score, it would be the performance score of the students.

When the recruiting event came to an end, the dueling club would post everyone's performance and then give out a passing line.

Anyone who had the score above the passing line would be recruited, and those who were below the passing line could only try again.

Because it was a more subjective review, students who failed to pass the examination could apply for the fourth duel by challenging the judges.

As long as they won the fourth duel, they could enter the dueling club unconditionally.

Of course, generally no one would do that.

...

"Here and here!" The gradually lively atmosphere in the dueling hall made Dianna become even more excited.

She took Dark's hand and ran to one of the counters.

There were a total of three counters, and there were more than 30 people lined up in front of each counter, adding up to almost a hundred.

Since the registration time was only half an hour after the entrance opened, generally no one would be late.

Dark followed Dianna at the end of the line, watching closely.

There were many familiar figures in the line.

In addition to the top eight in the last intra-class competition, there were many students who he could barely call out their names in his line.

Apart from them, most of them were second year students.

The second year students had already experienced two new recruitment tests, and those who were still trying to do the test now were probably not top students, but their experience would make them more difficult than the first year students.

Of course, the toughest opponents were the seniors who were in the line!

Even if they fell to the point of competing on the same stage with the lower year students, the senior students who failed to enter the dueling club in the lower years for various reasons still did not lose the demeanor of the senior students. Just by standing in the line, they still gave off a feeling of standing out in the crowd.

Dark's eyelids suddenly jumped: "Huh? Isn't that Scott?"

Yes, Scott from Noble House, a second-year student, was also queuing in the line!

However, Dark's gaze only stayed on him for a few seconds, and then turned to those seniors in the third and fourth year.

In the graded duel, participants didn't need to worry about the outcome, so Dark really wanted to have a friendly match with them.

The line moved very fast.

By the time Dark came to his senses, Dianna had already got the number plate.

She held up her number plate and showed it off, then walked to the side.

Dark stepped forward, registered under the guidance of the staff, and then took out his deck.

The magic cards that had been crafted and the magic cards that had not been crafted had essential differences and were extremely easy to identify.

The staff only asked him to show the backs of the cards and then counted to twenty to pass.

"This is your number plate, I wish you luck."

"Thank you."

Dark took the number plate and glanced at it; it was indeed a lucky number - 666!

...

Two Thirty.

The crowd suddenly moved again.

Dark thought of something, and then moved forward with the flow of people.

When the flow of people stopped moving, they had come to a high platform.

The boy on the high platform wore a formal school uniform and meticulously combed his hair back. His scarlet hair color made him look like he had a flamboyant character, but he was actually a very reserved person.

"Good afternoon, I'm Joe William, the current president of the dueling club." William first introduced himself, and then began the routine speech.

His speech was very motivating, and just listening to it made students feel pumped up.

But after listening to it many times, it would lose its charm.

After all, the speech would always end with "friendship first game second".

Please, you are the dueling club!

The dueling club where the winner takes all and the loser eats dust!

Probably even William himself also didn't believe it when he said it.

However, this kind of remark was still beneficial to the moral education of the lower-year students.

When he finished speaking, he was replaced by the vice president Inya Nate.

The rules of the recruiting competition announced by Inya immediately afterward were typical "Judging Outcome Based On Victory And Defeat", which were completely contradictory to William's words...

"This new recruitment dueling competition will be held in four arenas at the same time, and the friends of the participants can accompany them. But please don't do anything that affects the players' performance. Lastly, I wish you all the best of luck."

...

"It's finally over!" Dianna, who originally covered her head in pain, suddenly jumped abruptly to refresh herself.

"You can't take it anymore?" Dark couldn't help chuckling. "Let's go and see the schedule first."

While the dueling club's president and vice presidents spoke in turn, the order of the first round of duels had been arranged, and the schedule had been posted on the announcement board.

By the time they arrived, the bulletin board was already surrounded by the students.

Dianna couldn't help complaining: "What should we do?"

"Nothing." Rose came out of nowhere and said with a smile, "I've already checked it for you. Dianna is No. 123, right? So you are in No. 1 arena and the third game. Dark is also in No. 1, but the sixth game."

Dark: "My goodness, I'll have to wait for a while then."

Rose: "The smart people have already taken their seats in the first arena, but the dumb people can only scratch their heads."

Dianna: "You are so annoying! (ノw<.) "

...

Outsid No. 1 arena, on the only bench, there was a lonely small bag at this time.

This way of occupying space itself was normal, but it would inevitably make people feel annoyed after the space was occupied for a long time.

So Rose quickly returned to the bench, pulling Dark and Dianna over as well.

As soon as Dark sat down, he saw Professor Jones and Professor Fox sitting on the judges' seats.

He immediately realized that it was no accident that he and Dianna was assigned to No. 1 arena.

Sure enough, after a while, the figures of White and Robert appeared in his field of vision.

Immediately afterwards, Sara Swati came to the No. 1 arena, surrounded by her companions.

Later, even Emma came over with two friends as well.

"At least, don't make it so obvious, okay?"

Dark smacked his lips, took the card pouch to his lap, and counted the deck.

…

A total of 25 types, 33 magic cards.

According to the rules of the rookie league, the number of magic cards in a deck cannot be less than 20 or exceed 40.

Dueler usually took the middle number, which was 30.

In addition, dueler cannot hold more than three magic cards with the same name at the same time.

"In short, with the number of 20 cards as the bottom line, the only ten magical spirit cards must all be selected, and the rest should be adjusted appropriately."

"This is the first time for me to play the game with the official rules. Just the thought of it make me feel excited."

…

Behind the judges' table at No. 1 arena.

Professor Fox tried his best to widen his eyes, stared down for a while, then hesitantly pointed at someone and said, "That's the Dark Demon?"

Professor Jones couldn't help but daze for a while, then helplessly said, "Professor Fox, I know a very good glasses craftsman."

Professor Fox immediately responded: "Okay, that's the future Brave One, I know. What about Valkyrie's son?"

"He's sitting there." Professor Jones pointed to someone sitting between two girls.
