The most crucial factor in the Duel Tournament was whether Winnie Scathach of the Magister House would return. But when Dark attended the ceremony at the [Heavenly Court], he saw not the slightest sign that Winnie intended to return to the academy. Without her, the Magister House's sixth-years lacked the cornerstone needed to steadily crush their opponents.
This year's Duel Tournament would likely become a stalemate where neither side could secure victory. That made the outcome of the Dungeon Tournament exceptionally important. As a result, the Noble House and Knight Academy had the highest chances of winning the Academy Cup. As for what the final outcome would be, that depended on many factors. Beyond the competitors' own strength, it would also depend on how the duel rules evolved.
For example, if [Life Cards] were not used, Diana would gain an enormous advantage in duels. But if [Life Cards] were mandated, Diana's advantage would be relatively diminished.
Then sending Rose, who had now become the God's Chosen of the [Star Goddess], into the match was not entirely impossible either. Of course, on the roster, the Noble House's competing player was still Diana.
Although he had not been to the academy in a long while, Dark was still overjoyed when he saw the Noble House claim victory. In high spirits, he stayed in the classroom and played with the Magic Spirits for the rest of the night.

On this day, Dark began the directed refinement of [Kaibaman].
[Kaibaman] was a Light Type Human Species Magic Spirit with the Ultimate Move [Call of Justice].
With the aid of [Sacrificial Blessing] from the [Hidden Sage of Light], [Kaibaman] could even fuse with [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] into the [Paladin of White Dragon].
As a twelve-star, fifth-tier Magic
