Chapter 77 Dark Demon's Compassionate Heart
***Edited by Kronost***
"Hold on!"
White's face changed, and he quickly pulled Robert to a corner.
The two of them took out their sorting cards and injected magic energy to check the relevant regulations.
Then White whispered: "What should we do, Robert? There really is this regulation. Does the academy actually support gambling?"
Robert thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but I have heard a rumor."
White: "What rumor?"
Robert tried to keep his voice down as much as possible: "Our academy seems to be the biggest betting dealer behind the duel..."
White: "Don't talk nonsense, if the professor hears it, we… sigh. Should we continue? Speaking of which, do you really think that as long as we show our strength, we can increase Dark's favorability?"
Robert sternly said: "That's for sure! Dark is the only son of the Duke after all. He is a noble, so being a little arrogant is normal. He may look approachable when he talks to us, but in fact..."
White: "In fact what?"
Robert: "This is what I heard from my dad's friends. These kinds of people are actually very hypocritical. The reason they look kind is because they don't take other people seriously, just like cats and dogs. Naturally, they wouldn't bother to get angry at us.”
White was surprised: "Is there really such a thing?"
Robert affirmed: "Otherwise, how can you explain that, after so many days, his favorability for you has not increased or decreased, and has been floating around 45?"
White: "This... makes sense!"
Robert added: "So, no matter if you win or lose, as long as you show your strength, there must be a change. If you want to unlock the 80 favorability lock, you must pay the price."
White: "Then, what about our credits?"
Robert: "Sorry, I only have 68 points."
White: "..."
...
Dark waited while leaning against the wall. He was actually looking forward to a duel with White.
After all, he also wanted to experiment with [Shuckle]'s abilities.
However, when White and Robert came back, they both looked very embarrassed.
White waffled for a while, and finally said, "Can you lend me 1 credit?"
...
Lending 1 credit?
Dark was dazed: "You only have 99 credits?"
"Haha..." White scratched his head, embarrassed, "We just bought the refining material."
Wait, didn't you buy your materials at the 10-credit store?
But as the saying goes: one shouldn't expose other people's embarrassment.
Dark wasn't stupid.
He said helplessly: "I am not a person who would refuse to lend a credit."
But as soon as Dark said this, White's face changed again, and after saying "wait" he pulled Robert and ran back to the corner.
...
White whispered: "Robert, if we had borrowed credits from Dark at that time, it would have been very easy, right?"
Robert: "Ah this!"
White: "For example, if I have 10 credits, and someone wants to borrow 5 credits from me, naturally I would not be willing to give it. But what if I have 1,000 credits?"
Robert: "But we weren't close to him at that time at all!"
White: "It's not like that. Just like the analogy you made, it's the same as if we saw cats and dogs, we just give them some food without looking for any returns."
Robert: "White, please don't feel so inferior, okay?"
White: "..."
Robert: "Actually, if we really borrowed money from him, we might have lost more. So stop thinking about it."
White: "Mhm!"
...
After a while.
White and Robert came to Dark again.
Dark originally wanted to say that borrowing credits from a person just to fight him sounds a bit stupid, so why not come back tomorrow?
But White put on an expression like "I'm ready, come on!"
Dark felt helpless and gave him 1 credit.

There are actually people who borrow money to give money. Such weirdos.
Dark opened his mouth and said, "So, where are we going to have the duel? Dueling arena?"
White waved his hand quickly: "There are too many people there, how about finding a corner of the castle?"
Dark nodded: "Okay."
So the three of them went straight to a corner on the first floor of the castle.
In a castle like this, there are many corners that no one would care to look at.
Robert said: "I will be the referee. The dueling method is a variant of the elite mode. Only one magical spirit can be used. If a person's magical spirit is defeated, it will be considered him losing. With the sorting cards as proof, the bet is 100 credits. Does any party have any objections?"
"No objection."
"No objection."
So the contract was formed.
All three sorting cards recorded it.
Dark had been hoping to experiment with [Shuckle]'s skills, so he took it out.
And White, naturally took out [Troll], his face full of confidence.
Even though he said he didn't care about winning or losing when discussing with Robert, how could he really have that kind of disappointing thought?
It's a duel, so he must win!
The two moved a distance of about five meters away from each other, each holding a magical spirit card in their hand.
Robert shouted loudly: "3, 2, 1, start!"
The battle phase began directly.
The facial expressions of both Dark and White changed almost at the same time.
"In my name, magic summoning! Come out, Shuckle!"
Dark swiped smoothly, completing the usual summoning in just six seconds.
Shuckle, who hadn't breathed fresh air since its birth, turned into an entity when it landed. It was a small spirit whose strength was completely unclear on the surface.
"Roar!"
A second later.
The Troll summoned by White landed on the ground, and roared at Shuckle!
The stench ejected from its mouth distorted the space, as if ripples were radiating.
Although the Troll, which is nearly four meters high, is also a 3-star magical spirit, its values in all aspects are equally distributed and powerful.
[Card Name: Troll]
[Type: Spirit card]
[Level: ✪✪✪]
[Race: Sub-human-type]
[Attribute: Normal]
[Magic energy: 1200]
[Attack: 1500]
[Defense: 1400]
[Ultimate: Double-Edge]
Its attack stats reached the maximum stats of a 3-star card under normal circumstances, and its magic energy value and defense are not weak either. It is a common spirit that has been thoroughly studied by the magisters.
"Common" didn't mean weak. On the contrary, it is undoubtedly synonymous with strong.
Because it is powerful enough and easy to use, it would appear frequently in duel matches.
As a common card, Troll almost has no weaknesses.
It is an excellent choice for expanding the number of cards in the deck.
And its ultimate [Double-Edge] can inflict heavy damage on the enemy at the cost of reducing 1/2 of its own maximum magic energy!
When Troll displayed its unparalleled power, both White and Robert couldn't help showing excitement.
"Go, Troll!"
Under White's order, Troll immediately moved his thick thighs and stepped towards Shuckle that looked like an ant in comparison. After just two or three steps, it was already in front of Shuckle.
Then it lifted the sole of its foot high and stepped on the tiny ant!
"Boom!"
Dirt and dust covered the entire area.
"Did I win?"
