The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

As the recruiting competition was about to start, more and more people entered dueling hall No. 1 gradually.

They avoided the initial peak flow of people and left space for those who needed it.

"After watching a lot of high-level games, watching rookies fighting each other occasionally can also be quite interesting."

"I wonder how many first-year students will be able to join the club this year? Last year was bleak."

"This year is obviously different. Look at the clubs over there, they are already gearing up to snatch new members!"

"They are really something else. They always try to recruit new members ahead of time."

"This is called seizing the opportunity! Do you think there will be any good rookies left in the next academic year?"

"You are right."

...

Anyway, those who were watching in the audience were not comparable to the people that were trying to recruit new members.

The various clubs were fully prepared!

In order to demonstrate the superiority of their own clubs, every club that intended to recruit new members held up a sign full of slogans, for fear that those potential first-year students would not see it.

But among those big signs, the old literature club only had a small sign, and the words on it were also upside down!

"It's just formalities, so don't mind it."

There were only two members in charge of recruiting new members of the literature club.

One was Winnie Skadi, who was once invited to dance by the eldest princess at the Halloween ball.

The other was Emma's dance partner at the Halloween party - a third-year student, Helena Tracy!

Winnie was a girl who wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. She had long black hair and delicate features, looking quiet and wise like a serious literature girl who couldn't leave her books.

Helena, on the other hand, was more sassy and stubborn, often arguing with Emma on some literature issues.

Of course, the more they argued with each other, the more they got to know each other, and the better their relationship became.

The main purpose of the Literature Club coming here this time was to recruit Sara and Emma, one Magister House student, and one Knight House student.

It just happened that each of them could be in charge of one student.

Helena was obviously very confident, and her tone seemed to be saying that as long as she opened her mouth, Emma would definitely be happy to join the Literature Club. ȓＡΝó฿Ё§

But Winnie was quite worried. After all, she and Sara didn't know each other at all.

But it was the task of the club president, so she had no choice.

...

The two came to the vicinity of No. 1 arena1, just in time to see the little brown-haired girl get on the contestant platform.

"There!" Helena signaled, picking up her pace.

It was only when she arrived at the No.1 arena that she suddenly discovered that Emma's opponent was a familiar third-year student!

"Isn't that Angelia? Why is she showing up in the dueling club's recruiting competition?" Helena was dazed, an ominous feeling emerged within her.

Winnie, who followed closely behind, thought for a second and said, "I think she seemed to have mentioned last semester that the books she wants to read are getting more and more expensive..."

Helena patted her thigh and complained: "Can't she tell us if she can't afford to buy a book? When the club updates the library, we can just buy her book together."

Winnie: "She doesn't like sharing a book with others."

Helena: "Women are very possessive!"

Winnie: "..."

Helena: "Forget it, I'm still curious about her strength. It's a pity that Emma may have to endure hardships."

Winnie: "if she wishes to be the best woman, she must be prepared to suffer the bitterest of the bitter."

…

Saint Marian's school uniforms were basically the same in style. The main difference was the school badge on the chest.

In addition to the different school badge patterns of each house, the strip below the school badge would also be different according to each year.

The first year uniform had only one star, the second year had two, and so on.

So when Angelia came out, everyone could see at a glance that she was a third-year student!

"Year 1 vs Year 3?"

Exclamations sounded one after another.

More people gathered around.

The first-year Knight House students couldn't help but sweat for Emma.

Emma was their pride. If she lost in the first round, no one would be able to smile anymore.

Many people still wanted to cheer for Emma in the open-air dueling hall outside when she fought in the rookie league.

It would be embarrassing if she failed to even join the dueling club, and all the first-year Knight House students would not be able to hold their heads high in front of the Noble House students the entire semester next semester.

Therefore, when Emma got onto the Red Player platform, she suddenly heard the unison cheering voices from below.

She was stunned for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed, and the palpitations she had felt for the third-year student suddenly disappeared.

"Emma, you can do it!"

Patting her cheek, Emma's eyes suddenly became serious.

No matter who my opponent is, I just need to try my best!

"Huh? This kid's mentality is not bad." Professor Fox sitting in the judge's seat rubbed his eyes, a little surprised.

"Emma Mortis is also the descendant of Sage of Mysteries." Professor Jones made no secret of her smugness.

Although she was also surprised that Emma could adjust her mentality so quickly, she didn't want to reveal it.

At the beginning of the academy, Emma's mentality wasn't like this.

What changed her?

...

Outside the arena.

Dianna couldn't help but ask, "Can she win?"

"I don't know." Dark shook his head, "It depends on her opponent."

If it was an underachieving student like Scott, then Emma would definitely have a chance.

But if it was a good student like Betty-senpai, then the chance would be very slim.

He also didn't expect Emma to encounter a third-year student in the first game. This should have been a low-probability event.

But the current situation also gave him a wake-up call.

Perhaps his opponent would also be a senior.

"It would be great if that really happened!"

Excited!

...

Dark raised his head slightly.

The two players on the platforms were using loudspeaker devices to communicate over the air.

Emma greeted very politely.

Angelia only replied: "Hurry up."

Emma was dazed for a moment: "Uh..."

Angelia seemed to have realized that her words and deeds were inappropriate, so she added: "We can talk next time."

Emma: " Next time?"

"Beep—"

The referee whistled.

The exchange between the two sides ended, and the game entered the preparation countdown.

Draw Card!

...

Watching the game from the sidelines was a completely different experience from being on the platform.

Dark was engrossed in the game.

The huge projections of the card tables on both sides were already fully displayed in front of the players' table.

[Preparation Phase] [30s]

The above words were displayed directly above the table.

In the upper left, the current magic energy value of the Magic Ball was displayed simultaneously - 2000!

The life barrier of a Magic Ball had five levels, and the magic energy value corresponding to each level was divided into 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, and 16000.

This competition used the rules of the Rookie League, so the Magic Balls had activated the level 2 life barrier.

"Although the changes in the rules are minor, they have a huge impact on the game. I don't know if Emma can adapt to it." Dark's eyes glanced at the card slot at the bottom right of the card table.

A stack of magic cards was placed in the card slot, which had been "automatically shuffled".

Next, duelers would have 30 seconds to draw cards and think tactically.

Watching from the audience, Emma's card drawing speed was faster than Angelia's, but Angelia was noticeably more relaxed.

The 30s of thinking time was over in a blink of an eye.

There was a slight "ticking" sound on the card table, and the words directly above instantly changed to:

[Battle Phase] [30s]

The duel entered the first round!

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

Emma was already quite proficient in Normal Summoning Spell, and it could be said that she was second to none among first-year students.

However, Angelia was obviously faster than her!

In just 3 seconds, Angelia summoned her first magical spirit!

"Magic Summoning!" With a slightly indifferent voice, a book emitting a faint white light flew out of her hand.

It unfolded from the middle, spreading out the pages on both sides like wings, and suddenly pounced on Emma's Magic Ball like a goshawk!

Its speed was simply astounding!

Emma's face changed immediately, and the summoning spell in her mouth almost stopped.

A field with a length and width of 30x20 was simply not big enough in the face of real speed.

When Emma summoned [Golden Beast], Angelia's [Bookworm] had already taken a bite at the Red Player’s Magic Ball!

[2000→1900]

But the magic energy value of the Magic Ball dropped by only 100 points!

...

"It turned out to be just a 1-star magical spirit with fast speed!" The first-year students of Knight House sighed in relief.

The speed and momentum of the Bookworm made them almost think that Emma was about to be defeated in one hit!

"Whew! Lucy, can you lend me your shoulder." Susan leaned against Lucy's shoulder, feeling her legs go weak.

Even this bystander reacted like this, let alone the player on the platform.

Emma was extremely nervous at this time, the sound of her heart pounding on her eardrum.

After the Bookworm bit at the Red Player’s Magic Ball, it quickly flew back to the Blue Player's summoning area.

After that, Golden Beast landed firmly, protecting the Red Player's Magic Ball.

But before Emma could relax, Angelia's Bookworm suddenly shook, its figure gradually becoming blurry. When it finally became clear again, it had split into two books!

And Angelia on the Blue Player’s platform had already raised a magical spirit card in her hand and began to chant the incantation of tribute summoning!

At this time, someone suddenly noticed that the [Bookworm] magic card displayed in the projection was not 1-star, but 2-star!

...

"It turned out to be a 2-star magical spirit!" Dark outside the arena couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

The card face of a magic card could reveal a lot of information.

Card name, level, race, attribute, magic energy, attack, and defense...

In addition to skill information, the basic information was directly marked.

Angelia's [Bookworm] had magic energy of 1000 points, reaching the top level of a 2-star magical spirit card, and its attack and defense were both 100 points.

Judging from its performance just now, its extreme speed was another hidden strength.

Although mere 100 points of attack and defense were its weaknesses, it seemed to be enough to trigger another ability?

Dark had a feeling that the bite of that Bookworm on the Magic Ball definitely had another purpose.

It was very likely that it was that one bite that made it trigger the ability to "split"!

And the Bookworm it split out may have lower stats, but it was obviously still a 2-star magical spirit.

With this, Angelia had two 2-star magical spirits in the first few seconds!

And after possessing two 2-star magical spirits, she could of course use tribute summoning to directly summon a 4-star magical spirit!

…

[Card name: Bookworm]

[Type: Spirit Card]

[Level: ✪✪ ]

[Race: Fairy-type]

[Attribute: Fairy-type]

[Magic energy: 1000]

[Attack: 100]

[Defense:100]

[Ultimate: Worm Siphon, Infinite library]

...

And Angelia was also very proficient in tribute summoning. Her tribute summoning time was even faster than Emma's Normal Summoning Spell!

Seeing that a tribute summoning magic circle had appeared in the Blue Player’s summoning area, even the president William of the dueling club was shocked.

"Why do students of this caliber only join the dueling club in the second semester of their third year?"

"Don’t they like those easy credits?"

"Sure enough, the mindset of ​​genius is not something that an ordinary person like me can understand."

Hearing this, Inya glared at her club president again.

She didn't expect a shark to pop up in the recruiting competition.

But this time, she could only feel sorry for Emma for being so unlucky.

Originally, although they did follow the instructions of the Advising Professors and manipulated the match arrangement slightly, they only transferred some first-year students to the No. 1 arena, and the others were still randomly matched.

However, it was too late to change anything. She could only hope that the poor first-year students would get up again after being defeated by the seniors.

...

When Angelia summoned a 4-star magical spirit, Emma's Normal Summoning Spell had just finished cooling down. So she only had a lonely Golden Beast in her summoning area.

Golden Beast with magic energy of 1000, attack of 1300, and defense of 1500 was also the top magical spirit among 3-star magical spirits. However, in the face of a 4-star magical spirit that was one level higher, it was not its opponent at all!

Emma had many ways to strengthen Golden Beast, but they couldn't be used due to the lack of summoning speed.

When she finally summoned the second magical spirit, Golden Beast was already defeated by Angelia's 4-star magical spirit!

Even the Red Player’s Magic Ball had also fallen into the hands of that 4-star magical spirit!

Emma felt so powerless that her second magical spirit could only watch her opponent completely smash her Magic Ball's life barrier!

This duel, from the beginning to the end of the battle, did not even last one round!

In just thirty seconds, it was all over.

Emma was the face of the first-year Knight House after all, but in front of this third-year senior, she was so powerless.

Her failure not only brought her own emotions to the bottom, but even the first-year students lost their excitement at the beginning.

Saint Marian had a strong competitive environment.

There were competitions between houses, between years, and between clubs.

The students were sometimes hostile to each other, but sometimes they shared the same hatred.

While the first-year students were silent, the three judges on the judging panel had already started to grade.

Scores were out of ten.

There were two signs in front of each judge, a Red Player and a Blue Player.

For the sake of speed, the judges did not need to comment but directly score.

Professor Jones sighed slightly and held up the two signs.

"Blue Player·Angelia, 10 points!"

"Red Player·Emma, ​​5 points."

Professor Fox glanced at her and held up his sign.

"Blue Player, 9 points."

"Red Player, 3 points."

Another fifth-year judge was under a lot of pressure beside the two Advising Professors, but he still managed to complete the scoring mission.
