Chapter 336: Dark Demon and Dungeon Escaper

Amidst the burgeoning applause, Dark and White walked through the aisles on both sides and returned to their respective seats. Follow current novels on novᴇ

As a matter of fact, what they showcased was indeed a very good demonstration.

Like two sides of a coin, it perfectly displayed the two points that needed to be looked out for in a silent duel.

Afterwards, Professor Jones gave a detailed explanation of the problems they exhibited during the duel.

The students also gradually diverted their focus from the duel demonstration just now into the obtention of knowledge.

Although it was currently still way ahead, after they were allowed to venture into the dungeon in the future, silent duels would become an important and trusted method for them to resolve disputes inside the dungeon.

The moment White sat down in his seat, Robert couldn't help saying, "Don't be discouraged, Dark's magical spirits are just too extraordinary. I even thought you wouldn't be able to hold back from using the [Holy Sword Spell]."

White awkwardly smiled and said, "How can I use the [Holy Sword Spell] in a class demonstration? I'm indeed not as good as him now, but as long as I continue to work hard, I'm going to catch up to him."

Robert clenched his fist and encouraged him, "I absolutely believe in you. After all, Professor Medea has also said that you're the future Brave One!"

White let out a sigh and muttered, "The future Brave One… It's not like I can become the Brave One just by sitting around doing nothing… in terms of the dungeon, hmm. I heard the seniors all procured their core materials from the dungeon…"

Robert: "What did you say?"

White: "No, it's nothing."

……

Dark, who had returned to his seat, leisurely chatted with Dianna for a few words before resuming to listen to the class.

He had more or less understood the crux of silent duels.

Aside from [Silencing], the most significant trait of silent duels was the substitution of magic balls with 1-star magical spirits.

1-star magical spirits were usually very weak. If one's summoned magical spirit possessed a wide range AOE ultimate, it would be easy to wipe out the opponent's magical spirits in the first round.

Or perhaps, one could choose an assassin type magical spirit with quick speed, avoid a head-on fight, and directly kill the opponent's 1-star magical spirit. This was another feasible idea.

In such a fast-paced duel, it was very unwise to spend a lot of time summoning high-rank magical spirits.

At the same time, excessive movements caused by the summoning of high-rank magical spirits could also be covertly avoided.

In addition, before the silent duel started, it would be best to communicate with the magical spirits so that they understood the mode and rules of this duel and could act on their own initiative upon being summoned.

Although normal magical spirits only had an intelligence level of 2.0, they also possessed the basic intelligence to understand commands and were capable of learning combat tactics.

Therefore, a silent duel was akin to deploying soldiers who had already mastered combat tactics. The magister would summon the magical spirits, and the magical spirits would act according to the tactics. The final result would be a direct collision between the two sides' tactics.

……

The dueling class ended while the young magisters were still wishing for it to go on.

Some people even nearly forgot that next on the schedule was the dungeon adventure.

Such was the fascination of interesting lectures.

But when the bell indicating the end of class rang, the students' train of thoughts seemed to switch tracks in an instant, subsequently becoming excited once more.

As an extremely important part of the academy, the dungeon was located at the entrance of the academy. It would be a lie for anyone to say that they weren't curious about it.

Normally, at this time, reason would tell them that the dungeon was dangerous and that Professor Nini was unreliable.

But emotion was telling them that the dungeon would be fun and the adventure would be exciting.

Moreover, they had also been taking magic beast class for two months and gained some understanding about the monsters in the dungeon.

In addition, everyone had a set of magic cards in their possession.

Some students even secretly fantasized about boldly taking an action upon encountering a monster and hunting it as an adventurer!

If they successfully hunted a monster during their first adventure, it would probably be something they could brag about for the rest of their lives.

In short, following Professor Nini's notice, most of the students rushed straight towards the assembly point at the entrance of the castle with excitement written all over their faces.

As for their dueling textbooks… those were naturally entrusted to the small number of students who were going to stop by the dormitory.

Dark was carrying Dianna and Rose's textbooks in his hands. He generously accepted their request and returned to the dormitory without haste.

Upon arriving at the dormitory, he first put away the textbooks before wrapping the multi-tiered lunch box that had been prepared earlier with a picnic tablecloth. In his now vacated backpack, he put more apple juice and cow grass juice, pen and paper for taking notes, a sketchbook, as well as various survival tools.

Among the tools, the most important was a [Magic Energy Compass(魔力针)], a specialized tool for the dungeon adventure.

In the dungeon, a normal compass wouldn't be able to work due to the disturbed magnetic field.

However, there was a special magic energy mark at the entrance of each floor. By using the [Magic Energy Compass] to trace the magic energy of the mark, one would be able to determine the direction of the entrance at any time.

It was an excellent tool for navigating inside the dungeon.

Generally speaking, every team venturing into the dungeon would bring along a navigator with a good sense of direction.

If one truly got lost, the only choice was to trigger the Secret Realm Escaping Device called 'Dungeon Escaper'.

But that thing was rather expensive…

"I wonder if Professor Nini has prepared Dungeon Escapers for us?"

While thinking, Dark picked out a palm-sized book and put it into his backpack, intended to use it for passing time during lunch.

Once everything was ready, he finally turned around and asked the magical spirits who were waiting in anticipation, "So, who's willing to go with me?"

The magical spirits glanced at the small but full backpack behind him and immediately figured out his evil intention.

But even so, the excitement of being able to go out with their master still outweighed the displeasure of having to carry the backpack.

"Mi~"

Sylveon was the first to raise its feeler.

But Dark shook his head, indicating that it didn't meet the requirements.

A dejected expression instantly took over Sylveon's face.

After Sylveon failed to get recruited, the eager little Eevee also helplessly retracted its feet.

At the same time, those who weren't suitable for carrying a backpack like Shuckle, Misdreavus, Popplio, Trash Slime and some others also retreated one after another.

Among the remaining magical spirits, Gatomon's lips curled into an unconcealable smile.

Then, it quietly took half a step forward to make itself more noticable: Quickly pick me, quickly pick me!

"Hawcha!"

"Moo~!"

Who would've thought that Hawlucha and Miltank would suddenly raise their respective wing and hoof, patting their chests to assert their competence.

DemiDevimon, however, merely watched on aloofly from high up on the bird stand.

Every time such an instance occurred, it always felt proud of its status as a familiar spirit.

At last, upon seeing that Dark was going to choose between Hawlucha and Miltank, Gatomon couldn't help but to raise its hand and blurted out, "Me!"

Dark looked at it with a smile and promptly said, "Then let's go with Gatomon."
