Once the atmosphere had eased somewhat, Senior Pandora asked curiously, "That sword of yours—can it freely transform between a weapon and a Magic Spirit?"
Dark nodded. "That's right. Haven't you seen one before, Senior?"
Senior Pandora shook her head. "I have, but I didn't expect you to be able to refine one. This type of Magic Spirit can be Special Summoned in the form of a weapon card. They're extremely rare."
Dark chuckled, unfastened the Card Case from his side, and began replenishing each Magitech Card with magic power one by one.
Meanwhile, the two upperclassmen selected for the match had already emerged from the contestants' passage.
After a brief look, Dark recognized one of them. "Is that the senior who uses the 'Dragon-Slaying Sword'?"
"Luke Becci, a fifth-year," Senior Pandora said softly. "A formidable opponent."
Dark said, "I can tell."
Senior Pandora nodded. "Dragons are born supreme and restrain one another. The 'Dragon-Slaying Sword' was actually made with dragon-attributed materials as part of its core."
Dark looked slightly surprised. "So that's how it is?"
Senior Pandora smiled. "It's not exactly a secret. By the way, did you really plan this Easter Duel Festival? I mean, those model Easter eggs."
Dark returned her smile. "More or less."
Senior Pandora blinked at him, then took two models from the small bag beside her and waved them at him.
Dark examined them closely and instinctively rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
There, resting in her fair, delicate palm, were two equally snow-white Magic Spirit models.
One was an adorable little cat—the model of "Gatomon."
The other was one of only three "Sky White Dragon" models!
Dark could not help asking, "Senior, how many Easter eggs did you buy?"
Senior Pandora's lips curled upward with a hint of pride. "Three."
"Th-three?"
