Little did they know, Dark was nothing more than a freeloader.
Robert looked at Dark's three [Light Elves], then lowered his head to look at the three Level 1 pieces on his own board. He could not help gritting his teeth.
All he wanted was to curse.
If there had not been so many people watching, he definitely would have cursed out loud.
This was fucking bullying!

From the very beginning, this match gave the previously confident Knight Academy students an ominous feeling.

This was completely different from the match he had played against Dulong.
