"Dorothy, what do you think of Rosie’s performance?"

Euphilia naturally noticed the little exchanges between her junior and her daughter, so she also transmitted her question.

Well, although Rosie’s professionalism might be a bit lacking, her teaching is actually decent. This duel is a classic example of the fast attack style she teaches, and Mother Dragon also wants to see if her daughter has picked up anything.

Though she’s well aware of her daughter’s high comprehension, she believes that the renowned Lady Witch of the Forest can surely understand the match. However, considering her daughter is only a teenager, experience is just as important, if not more important than knowledge, despite her wisdom.

In research, one plus one is two, and if you learn something, you truly learn it, relying heavily on comprehension and knowledge.

But in combat, experience is crucial. No matter how polished your techniques or flashy your moves are, you’ll still be at a loss in actual battle if you don’t know when to use which move.

Euphilia feels there’s not much more she can teach her genius daughter about magic, given the Witch of the Forest’s superior authority, and thinks what she can pass on is likely only some experience.

And Dorothy, upon hearing her mother’s inquiry, naturally nodded.

"The teacher’s performance is of course excellent. This is what real combat should be like; from the moment you know your opponent, you should immediately go into battle-ready status. That Alannis is still a bit too relaxed."

The Homebody Witch responded this way.

Some might think Spider Teacher is not playing fair, setting up webs before the countdown begins, which is against the rules.

But Dorothy isn’t naïve like that.

Duels are simulations of life-and-death battles. Although they have gradually become more entertainment-oriented, and many see them as performances, the essence of a duel is still a confrontation of violence and strength.

Does anyone seriously expect fairness in a duel match?

If it weren’t for the magical civilization of the Witch World being advanced enough to create convenient and non-harmful Duel Formations, duels would literally be fatal.

Would you really expect fairness from an opponent in a life-and-death struggle?

Duels are meant for victory by any means. After all, if you fail, what you lose is your life.

If it’s just friendly sparring, then "competition second, friendship first" applies, and calling for fair competition is reasonable. But in a world-class tournament where the strongest vie for the top, any competitor holding to such naive standards should retreat where they came from.

The Witch World isn’t gentle enough to accommodate foolishness.

However, Spider Teacher’s method is indeed impressive and difficult for the average person to learn.

"Tsk, Teacher is truly a master architect. The process of reshaping the Duel World through the Duel Formation is also a kind of construction, and yet she can even intervene in this process."

The Homebody Witch couldn’t help but marvel.

The teacher indeed gave her another lesson, proving there truly isn’t useless magic, only useless spellcasters. Who would’ve thought architectural magic could be applied in duels this way?

Spider Teacher’s expertise in architectural magic is indeed profound.

And upon hearing her daughter’s answer, Mother Dragon gave a satisfied smile.

"Yes, now I’m relieved. In a few days, you’ll head to the front lines, and I want you, Dorothy, to always remember to approach every battle with full effort and never be careless."

Euphilia earnestly advised.

Subsequently, the mother and daughter rendered their judgment.

They naturally ruled Noelle Rose the winner.

They weren’t alone; the other judges also declared the Spider Witch the winner.

Clearly, the judging panel recognized Noelle Rose’s methods and didn’t see her victory as lacking in propriety or violating the rules.

However, the audience felt a bit unsatisfied, as this rapid knockout lacked entertainment value, not justifying their ticket price.

Fortunately, there are many more matches today.

As Noelle Rose exited, the Arena was reset, and the next match was about to begin.

The second match of the day: Inanna vs. Martel.

Upon seeing this, Dorothy immediately perked up. After all, she was here today mainly to watch Miss Tyranny, as she was her Spell Coach. Having taken her salary, she naturally had to be concerned about her patron’s performance.

Though not very familiar with Inanna’s opponent, Miss Martel, luckily as a judge, she had the right to review the basic information of the contestants.

Dorothy quickly skimmed through the data and then wore a strange expression.

"Well, well, a new star of the Spiritual School. She naturally counters Inanna the brute. I’ve really prepared her for this; Inanna, I’ve truly earned my salary with my coaching."

The Homebody Witch thought with some pride.

And with her anticipation, both contestants entered the Arena below.
