Chapter 334 Dark Demon and Silent Duel

"Professor Nini..." Dark looked at the notification on the sorting card, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Could it be, Professor Silver really approved her request?"

Dark clicked on the notification, full of astonishment.

He originally thought that a person as responsible as Professor Silver would not be able to pass Professor Nini's "Dungeon Tour for a Day" request.

But the reality he saw seemed to be seriously challenging his rationality?

"So it changed from a one-day tour to a half-day tour?"

"But is there any essential difference?"

Dark's face became gloomy instantly. The notification didn't mention that there would be other professors accompanying them.

If it was Professor Nini alone, could she even take care of a whole year of students?

And why did this notice become more and more unreliable?

And bring lunch? Was this a spring outing?

Speaking of which, it was already spring!

…

Since the snowfall on Valentine's Day, the weather has indeed been getting warmer.

After all, it was March.

Dark thought about it, and left a sentence on the specially bought message board, so that the magical spirits could get ready to be summoned at any time after waking up.

Then he took the breakfast out of the basket in DemiDevimon's claws and enjoyed his breakfast.

"Misdreavus~" Misdreavus came over.

Dark then used a fork to pick up a cherry garnish and fed it into its mouth.

"Ah——"

DemiDevimon's eyebrows twitched upon seeing it, and it immediately followed suit and came over.

Dark was dazed for a moment, but still picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into its mouth.

"Chomp, chomp, chomp."

DemiDevimon chewed strawberries mechanically, and for some reason almost broke into tears.

It turns out that asking for a treat is such an easy thing.

So far, how many times have I missed the opportunity to ask for a treat?

"Misdreavus?" Misdreavus turned to look at it with a puzzled expression.

......

After Dark finished his breakfast, he found a spare lunch box from the cabinet, then took a bottle of apple juice and a bottle of cow grass juice, and a basket, and went to the cafeteria with DemiDevimon.

Although the spring outing in the dungeon sounded very ridiculous, he couldn't do anything about it.

He would leave at ten o'clock and return after half a day, which meant he would need to have lunch in the dungeon.

Thinking that maybe he should just make a simple lunch, he decided to go to the cafeteria to get some flour and knead some dough, or make a few sandwiches with bread.

"I guess other students would probably think the same way, right?"

But when Dark walked into the cafeteria, he didn't find any other students in the cafeteria.

Although he was curious, he did not think too much about it.

When the halfling chef greeted him, he brought up the "half-day dungeon tour".

The halfling auntie immediately volunteered to help him.

When Dark came back to his senses, his lunch box was already filled with an assortment of delicacies—they were all the type that could still retain their delicious taste even after being cooled.

Dark thanked her quickly, but halfling auntie smiled and said, "You're welcome. Serving children is our job. As long as you like it, we are happy."

Dark expressed his gratitude again quickly, and then left the kitchen.

Afterwards, he handed the lunch box to DemiDevimon to take it back to the dormitory, while he went to class first.

There was a dueling lesson on Friday.

After that class, they still had to go back to the dormitory, put back the dueling class textbook, and then gathered at the gate of the castle.

He would bring the lunch box with him at that time.

But some students didn't seem to think that way.

When Dark walked into the classroom of the dueling class, he was surprised to find that there were already many students in it.

And each of them was carrying a big bag full of all kinds of snacks and fruits…

Clearly, when Professor Nini first mentioned "a day trip to the dungeon", they all looked very shocked and worried.

But the time really came, they completely forgot the worries they had.

Perhaps it was out of trust in the "professor".

Or maybe it was out of excitement for the "spring outing".

Who knows?

Dark turned his head and walked towards the familiar seat.

When he sat down in the last window seat, he saw Dianna turn her head suddenly, her pink face was full of excitement: "Dark Dark, guess what I brought?"

Dark: "Candies."

Dianna took out a whole bag of candies from the drawer and said happily, "You guessed it right."

Dark: "..."

Just when he was speechless, Rose turned her head, patted her backpack, and said, "Don't worry, I have brought a portion for Dianna."

From the looks of it, she probably prepared something like pastries.

But did she think I was surprised because I didn't expect Dianna to only bring candy and no lunch?

That's not the reason why I was surprised at all!

Dark patted his forehead and reminded: "Don't bring too many things, we are going to the dungeon, not an outing."

Girls didn't have good physical strength, and Rose was also a very delicate girl.

If they really carried such big bags on their backs, they probably wouldn't be able to walk far after entering the dungeon.

But Dianna immediately rushed to talk: "Don't worry, I have plenty of strength!"

Dark: "..."

Well, they seem to have taken more things into consideration than I imagined.

...

"Ring, ring, ring——"

When Professor Jones walked into the classroom right on time, she immediately noticed the unusual atmosphere in the classroom.

She couldn't help asking: "Huh? Is there something good going to happen today?"

A boy from the Knight House immediately raised his hand bravely: "Yes, Professor. We are going to enter the dungeon for a Spring~ adventure!"

"Dungeon adventure?"

Professor Jones She nodded thoughtfully, and then casually said, "Then let's talk about some duel rules in the dungeon today."

Emma in the front row couldn't help but wonder: "Professor Jones, there are also duel rules in the dungeon?"

"Of course there are." Professor Jones stepped onto the lectern, turned to look at the students below, and said with a smile: "For magisters, duel is an important way to resolve disputes. Correspondingly, in different environments, there will be different rules. For example, the street duel that Dark Demon had on Valentine’s Day is one of them. In the dungeon, in order not to attract monsters’ attacks, there will be new rules. We usually call it Silent Duel."

"Silent duel?"

At this moment, Dark's interest was also aroused, and he couldn't help but look up and listen carefully.

Professor Jones wrote the word "Silent" on the blackboard and said: "Silent duels are generally based on the Silence Card. Whether it is magisters or magical spirits, they must be within the coverage of the Silence Card. There are two main differences between it and a regular duel. ①You can’t make a sound; ②There is no magic ball. In fact, most duels outside of competitions don’t have magic balls. Doron, what do you want to ask?”

Doron, who raised his right hand, immediately asked, "Professor Jones, what should I do if I don't have a Silence Card?"

Professor Jones nodded in satisfaction, "You've asked a very good question, but I can't answer you." This update is available on ⓝ

Doron: "This..."

Professor Jones stretched out her hand to signal him to sit down, and then said: "The Silence Card is the basis of a silent duel. Without the Silence Card, or a magic card with a similar effect as the basis, a duel with someone in the dungeon is just asking for trouble. As a professor, I don't recommend you do this. If you really can't help yourself one day, please calm down and carefully weigh whether you have the ability to face the tide of monsters. Alright, now we continue... Dark Demon, what do you want to ask?"

Dark put his hand down, stood up and said, "Professor, how can we decide a winner if there's no magic ball?"

Professor Jones said, "I know you have experience in street duels, but silent duels in the dungeon are fundamentally different from street duels. They exist to resolve disputes as soon as possible while ensuring safety. Therefore, in silent duels, duelers are not allowed to attack each other. We usually designate a 1-star magical spirit as the magic ball. Once this magical spirit was eliminated, it meant the defeat of the magister."

"I see." Dark nodded in realisation.

After hearing this, he already had a general understanding of the mechanism of this silent duel.

After the magisters were silenced, they could only perform summoning through silent chant, which had high requirements on the level of magister's summoning.

In the case where commands couldn't be conveyed through voice, the tacit understanding between the magister and the magical spirits was particularly important.

How to communicate in a silent environment, how to convey tactics with magical spirits in time?

These were actually the skills to be used in special circumstances.

In addition, ultimates such as [Disarming Voice] and [Hyper Voice] that required sound to spread would also lose their effect.

In general, silent duels had higher requirements for magisters than regular duels.

In the silent duels in the dungeon, magisters would also try their best to choose quick duel tactics.

After all, there were many dangers in the dungeon, and no one knew whether a monster would suddenly pop out in the next moment.

…

Professor Jones explained the basic rules of silent duel in detail, and in the second half of the class, she also let Dark and White take the stage together for a demonstration.

As the sons of the twin swords of the kingdom, and the duelers of the dueling club, although there was a slight difference in strength between the two, their strength gap was still within an acceptable range on the surface.

White also seemed to have improved recently, and it was obvious that there was some fighting spirit in his eyes.

As expected of the son of the Brave One.

This undying courage was commendable.

The two sides stood separately before the class, according to Professor Jones, silently, starting with 1-star, without the high-star magical spirit, without the powerful Magic Charm and ultimate, and quickly decided the victory with small moves.

It wasn't until he got ready that White suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first public confrontation between him and Dark.
