Chapter 76: Wit Gold Throws Down the White Glove
The professor’s lips twitched, but he still explained, “From the panel data, Huhu Bug is indeed an extremely rare mana spirit. No one has been able to research its fixed conjure method yet.
Its rarity mainly lies in its defense value of 2200, which is the peak limit among the first tier of mana spirits.”
Dark nodded slightly.
Under normal circumstances, the top attack and defense of a Three-star Mana Spirit Card should be around 1500.
The textbooks clearly record the top attack and defense values for each star rating of mana spirits.
1 Star: 500;
2 Stars: 1000;
3 Stars: 1500;
4 Stars: 2000;
5 Stars: 2500;
6 Stars: 3000;
7 Stars: 3500;
8 Stars: 4000;
9 Stars: 4500;
…
These top attack and defense values are achieved by sacrificing one of the values.
But there are always a few exceptions.
“Huhu” is one of them.
As a Three-star Mana Spirit, “Huhu” doesn’t just sacrifice its attack.
Its weakness is obvious: extremely slow speed and a petite body height of only 0.6 meters, making it unable to serve as a proper shield.
So while “Huhu” is indeed rare, its versatility isn’t high.
But what Dark held was a 【Golden】 “Huhu”!
Moreover, its four skills are all very practical.
【Sturdy: Passive skill, mana spirits with this skill cannot be killed in one hit.]
【Power Split: Use psychic power to add both parties’ attacks together and then evenly distribute them.]
【Defense Split: Use psychic power to add both parties’ defenses together and then evenly distribute them.]
【Power Trick: Use psychic power to swap the attack and defense values of oneself.]
With these four skills, despite not being able to serve as a proper shield, Huhu can become a competent trickster.
In formal duel competitions, it will surely become the enemy’s nightmare!
…
Of course, Dark wouldn’t expose the skill information of “Huhu”.
The mana spirit card only displays the mana, attack, and defense values on its surface, while the ultimate skills are hidden.
Professor Kazel, though curious, didn’t probe further.
He smiled faintly and said, “Demon, Lady Luck truly favors you.”
Dark nodded, “I feel the same.”
Ha…
Naturally, after completing the practical assignment as the “top student,” Dark began observing others’ refining techniques.
Perhaps due to having experience with refining magical beasts, the young magi performed quite well in this class, with many successfully refining mana spirit cards.
Following Dark, Emma was indeed the second to succeed.
Since Emma didn’t summon her mana spirit in class, Dark had no idea what kind of “Golden Beast” she had refined.
There were simply too many types of mana spirits, many of which weren’t even recorded in books.
But the most eye-catching person in this class was still the Hero’s Child!
Wit’s mana spirit card was conjured amid an explosion.
When everyone turned to look at him, he wiped off the soot from his face and pulled out a complete mana card from the ashes!
Perhaps impatient to see what his mana spirit looked like, he directly summoned it at the back of the classroom.
It turned out to be a Gigant!
A colossal figure that nearly touched the ceiling let out a terrifying roar as soon as it appeared!
“Oh wow!”
Wit wiped off the grime on his face, revealing his white teeth, and looked up excitedly.
“If I had this earlier, I wouldn’t have… in the secret path…”
Robert asked in confusion, “What were you saying, Wit?”
“Nothing.” Wit laughed loudly, “Don’t you think my Gigant looks cool?”
Robert couldn’t help covering his nose, “Whether it looks cool or not, it seems a bit dim-witted.”
Wit happily said, “That’s exactly how a Gigant is—dumb, strong, thick-skinned. What’s wrong with being dumb? As long as I have brains.”
Robert: “Makes sense.”
While they were talking, Professor Kazel walked over, “Gold, how could you summon a Gigant in the classroom?”
Wit hurriedly said, “I’ll put it away right now.”
But news of the Hero’s Child conjuring a Gigant had already spread throughout the class.
Gigants were standard top-tier Three-star mana spirits, excelling in both attack and defense, often seen on the competition field.
This undoubtedly boosted Wit’s reputation significantly.
…
Of course, compared to Wit’s “Gigant,” Dark was more concerned about the mana spirit Diana had refined.
It was a brown “Earth Bear”!
No wonder she’s related to the Kingdom’s Bears! She really has a connection with bears!
Diana happily hugged her mana spirit card and kept showing it off.
Dark could only coax her like a child to go back.
On the other side, Rose also completed her second refinement before class ended and successfully refined her own mana spirit.
It was a rabbit-type mana spirit like her 【Magical Beast: Snow Rabbit】, seemingly possessing a healing ultimate skill.
…
For the first-year students, this class was an enormous leap forward.
Most first-year students now had their first mana spirits ready for competition.
At the same time, learning how to refine mana spirits, they could finally rely on their own abilities to purchase materials and refine them in the future.
One could almost say that from this moment on, they truly started their journey.
…
What surprised Dark was that after today’s potions class ended in the afternoon, Wit and Robert actually approached him proactively.
And they proposed a duel!
Dark felt astonished on the spot.
Although he was familiar with the school rules and knew that the academy strongly supported official duels between students, he still couldn’t understand Wit’s behavior.
“Does Wit evolve into the protagonist of a fantasy novel, finding the unique rhythm of a novel’s protagonist: boosting strength – showing off – boosting strength – showing off – … and I become the target of humiliation?”
With a strange expression, Dark asked, “Why?”
But he didn’t expect that Wit was well-prepared.
He exchanged glances with Robert, seemingly drawing strength from his good friend, and said, “I know you haven’t looked at me properly since the start of the semester.”
Dark: “Ah?”
Wit: “No need to deny, I can feel your attitude towards me.”
Dark: “Oh.”
Wit: “But today, I will make you know that we stand on the same level!”
(′-﹏-.。)
Dark: “Do you know the rules of student duels?”
Wit asked in confusion, “Fair, just, and open?”
Dark couldn’t help wanting to cover his face, “At least betting 100 credits.”
Wit: “Ah?”
So you came headstrong without knowing anything?
Duels require a price, don’t they?
…
