Thank you

Soon, the two arrived at the arena.

In an instant, the area around the arena was packed with people. Not many senior students had returned, but all the junior students had gathered.

"This Caroso is challenging a third-year student right after arriving?"

"This is going to be good!"

"Potential doesn't equal strength. Once you're on the stage, you can't use anything but cards. If someone fakes their potential with extraordinary items, that'll be a real mess."

"At this level, a difference of one major rank is too much. A third-tier fighter with S-rank potential is no match for a fourth-tier fighter with C-rank potential."

"Brother!" Nimel looked at Caroso on the arena with a worried expression.

She had been eating in the dormitory when she heard the news that Caroso was going to challenge a senior student.

The opponent was of similar status to Caroso, so their background shouldn't be too different.

Even if Gao Yan Province wasn't as good as Azure Wolf Province, Kare was still the son of a Grand Duke.

Besides, at this age, the resources everyone could access were about the same, so how much difference could there be?

Kare wouldn't hold back because of Caroso's status; he would likely fight even harder for the prestige of House Quinte.

"I'm fine," Caroso shook his head at Nimel.

"Brother, I can duel for you!" Nimel said anxiously, "You..."

"You're a Mage. Fighting a Warrior on such a small stage is suicide," Caroso said indifferently. "Don't worry, for the glory of Kolea, I will not lose."

The faculty member in charge of the arena also looked troubled.

He didn't know what sin he had committed to have the sons of two Dukes choose to duel while he was on duty.

This was right after the freshman orientation ended, when the academy's high-level officials were all relaxed.

By the time the news spread, their reaction wouldn't be fast!

Damn it, do you two have to be so impatient?

Especially that first-year student, how desperate are you to challenge a third-year? And it's a card maker challenging a warrior.

Card maker, do you even know what a card maker is? They're the ones playing logistics behind the scenes, not charging into battle!

Logistics, understand your role in logistics!

The person in charge was internally screaming, but the match still had to start.

"Are you ready?" the faculty member asked helplessly.

"Ready."

"Begin!"

Caroso's hand now held three cards.

One three-star epic, two two-star fine...

Caroso infused magic power into two cards, and the two white cards instantly turned into four cards.

As if to hide the extra cards, Caroso poured a large amount of magic power into the three-star card.

Instantly, a purple light bloomed, and a purple magic circle appeared under Caroso's feet. Dots of light spread along the magic circle, gradually forming three cards.

Caroso had brought two three-star and two two-star cards, but he now held eight cards in his hand.

If someone could observe closely, they would find that except for one card belonging to Caroso, the other seven belonged to Kare...

"Hmph, epic cards, who doesn't have those?"

Seeing the pile of cards in Caroso's hand, Kare assumed it was some kind of special effect.

He drew two cards, infusing them with powerful magic power.

The intensity of this magic power was a full level higher than Caroso's!

Behind Kare, a phantom of a dwarf appeared.

The fully armored dwarf struck the air with a hammer, and a piece of armor appeared on Kare's body.

This effect was much more intimidating than Caroso's.

With the second hammer strike, a pair of boots appeared on Kare's feet.

With the third hammer strike, a rapier appeared in Kare's hand.

It was clear that these three cards were made by the same card maker, and that card maker was a very skilled master.

The three pieces of equipment were a set!

"Hmph, I can even let you have one move," Kare said proudly.

"A set of epic equipment cards?" Rayne exclaimed in disbelief. "This..."

"Even if it's only three-star, it's still very powerful," Elena murmured.

"Brother..." Nimel clenched the staff in her hand.

Damn it, I can't help him at all right now.

"Is this Gao Yan Province?"

"The Grand Duke spoils Young Master Kare too much."

"How much do these three cards cost?"

"A set card... I don't even dare to imagine fighting someone like that."

"Even if Caroso is powerful, he can't win, right? There's already a huge gap between them, and he's using an epic set card. This is the king of this stage!"

The comments in the bullet screen and the words of the people below were polar opposites.

[Holy crap, there's still an idiot using set cards?]

[This is just like Dark Magician. If you control one card, the whole set is useless.]

[The power of set cards comes from the bonuses with three or five pieces. Individually, they're almost as good as blank cards. Trash!]

[Damn it, if I had known he had a set card earlier, I would have taught him a lesson with just one Shadow Plunder.]

[Boss Caro doesn't have it right now!]

[Yeah, Boss Caro doesn't have Shadow Plunder, but Boss Caro has a set card now...]

[Boss Caro, do you remember what I said earlier?]

"Thank you." Caroso showed a slight smile.

Then, something baffling happened.

The magic power within Caroso surged towards the phantom image of the card, and the phantom image of a dwarf appeared behind him.

The first hammer, the second hammer, the third hammer!

The exact same equipment as the opponent appeared on Caroso's body.

"Huh?" Kare stared at Caroso, completely bewildered. "This is impossible. He only made one set!"

"Caroso has it too?"

"What's going on?"

"I don't know."

"What a coincidence? The master also sold this set card to Caroso at the same time?"

"This is too greedy..."

"Take this!" Caroso knew his time was limited and charged towards Kare.

Their swords clashed in the most savage way, clanging wildly against each other.

Caroso seemed to disregard the depletion of card energy entirely, as if he wanted to drag the opponent down with him.

After his initial shock, Kare snapped back to reality.

Seeing himself being pushed back by Caroso, he became furious.

Damn it, he just has the same equipment as me. His strength isn't as good as mine, his speed isn't as good as mine, and his magic power is even worse.

Fighting head-on? I'll show you what death looks like!

"Die!"

Kare was initially flustered and took several sword hits from Caroso, but he wasn't a pushover. He adjusted quickly.

Clang, clang, clang!

Kare was confident that Caroso's magic power was inferior to his and engaged him in a fierce, head-on battle.

Both Caroso and Kare possessed top-tier martial skills. Caroso fought with more effort, while Kare had trained for longer. For a moment, Caroso was at a disadvantage.

Caroso fiercely protected his armor, but he didn't care about the wear and tear on his sword and boots at all.

After about ten minutes of fighting, the sword in Caroso's hand shattered with a bang.

"Fighting head-on? You think you're worthy?" Kare took a step back, pointing his long sword at Caroso with a look of disdain. "Come and die."

Then, something even more baffling happened.

Caroso's magic power surged, and the figure of a dwarf appeared behind him...
