the boss to obtain core materials.
Fernandi was still lacking a high-quality horn for the Magic Spirit Card he planned to refine, and there was a chance he could obtain one from that floor boss.
Third-year academic pressure was far greater than that of the second year. Some professors even issued "dueling quotas," requiring students to achieve a certain number of victories in dueling competitions within a set period of time.
If they failed to meet the "dueling quota," their end-of-term evaluations would be lowered.

Not every Fool House student could make a late surge.
