Chapter 902: The Start of the Golden Cup Quarterfinals! (4k)
Mars Kerry was indeed an outstanding dark horse, but Dak Demon had no interest in him.
“I hope it’s not the [Seven].
Thinking this, he reached his hand into the lottery box and randomly picked a number, drawing one out.
“It’s竟然然是 [One]!”
Before he could check it himself, Senior Judy loudly announced, “Dak Demon has drawn [One]! He will be the first to duel in the match after the draw!”
Instantly, the spectators outside erupted in a deafening roar, highlighting his popularity vividly.
Dak narrowed his eyes, stepping back. Drawing “One” was unexpected.
Being the first to appear in such a competition indeed brought additional pressure.
Moreover, in today’s competition, there were only fifteen minutes of preparation time before the first match.
However, quick battles for quick resolutions.
If he could win directly in the first match, then there would be no need to watch the rest, and he could return to the dormitory to continue researching the [Bliss Fog Field].
“There are five remaining contestants, who will draw the second number?”
Dak looked forward. The one to appear after him in the quarterfinals was the only sixth-year student—[Dragon Slayer] Luke Beck.
Luke Beck had long been famous, and he was also a hot favorite for winning the [Golden Cup].
As soon as he stepped out of the queue, the audience席 immediately erupted with cheers.
He grinned, striding confidently to the lottery box. The numbers already drawn were [One], [Six], and [Eight]. As long as he didn’t draw [Three] or [Four], he could directly decide a set of contestants.
Luke Beck extended his hand into the box, whispering under his breath, “Two, two, two!”
Clearly, he most wanted to draw [Two]!
Not because [Two] was a second-year student relative to [One], but simply to crush him!
“Two, two…”
Luke Beck suddenly drew the card, raising it high. On the card, it clearly read [Two]! “Great!”
He punched the air, unable to suppress a low exclamation.
That unbridled excitement made some people watching frown.
“It’s [Two]! Luke Beck has drawn Two! Excellent, the first pair of contestants has finally appeared!”
Senior Judy announced loudly.
“The first duel today will be between second-year student Dak Demon from the Noble Academy and sixth-year student Luke Beck from the Fool’s Academy!”
“Second year vs. Sixth year! This is undoubtedly the most uneven match in terms of grades in this Golden Cup main event.”
“But I believe that grade cannot determine everything. Contestants Dak Demon and Luke Beck will surely present us with an incredibly exciting duel!”
“So now, please welcome the next contestant to draw.”
“It’s a sixth-year student…”
On the ring, Evan Pearson couldn’t help but ask, “Is Luke Beck strong? Can Dak Demon handle it?”
Tudor patted Evan Pearson’s shoulder hard and said, “That’s the [Dragon Slayer]! Of course, he’s extremely powerful. But don’t worry, Dak always has a way. Just cheer with us! We’ll use our volume to drown out everything! Let the entire venue be filled with our support!”
Evan Pearson: “Uh…”
“What a pity.”
Dak’s eyes narrowed involuntarily.
When Luke Beck returned from the front stage, he glanced clearly in his direction, the excitement almost spilling out of his eyes.
Considering his excitement when he drew [Two], Dak couldn’t help but suspect if he and this senior had some deep-seated grudge?
But it didn’t matter. Regardless of any grudge, they would settle it on the battlefield. Dak wasn’t bothered by this; he was just disappointed he didn’t get to draw Senior Pandora.
Next, the vice president of the [Astrology Club], Philomena Bach, drew [Five].
[Pandora Dragon], the [Silver Dragon Girl], drew [Three]. [Winter Maiden], Winnie Scarti, drew [Four]. The fifth-year student from the [Sports Club], Taylor Spencer, drew the last [Seven].
Judy waved her hand, and the projections above everyone’s heads displayed the day’s schedule.
First Match: Dak Demon vs. Luke Beck.
Second Match: Pandora Dragon vs. Winnie Scarti.
Third Match: Philomena Bach vs. Torre Watts.
Fourth Match: Taylor Spencer vs. Mars Kerry.
In the afternoon, these four rounds of duels were all highly anticipated, whether it was Dak and Luke Beck’s first match or Pandora and Winnie’s second match.
Seeing this schedule, Dak’s initial idea of “quick battles for quick resolutions” faded.
He couldn’t help but start considering whether he should wait until after watching the duel between Senior Pandora and Senior Winnie before leaving?
Of course, this was only possible if he won in his current field.
Otherwise, if he fell into the losers’ bracket, he would still have to worry about tonight’s elimination tournament.
After the schedule was announced, the eight contestants had completed their tasks and exited at Judy’s signal.
Then, Judy invited the commentators to the host stand, asking them to analyze the situation of the four matches.
The commentators would争取 at least fifteen minutes of preparation time for the first duel.
During those fifteen minutes, the two contestants of the first duel would need to construct corresponding decks against their opponents.
After Dak returned backstage and entered the barrier to start building his deck, he realized that although Luke Beck was known as the [Dragon Slayer], his deck was actually primarily focused on [Dragons].
Above that, he possessed various means to counter dragons and dragon types.
He had to be cautious!
