Chapter 540: Even the Second-Year Students Want to Live a Carefree Life (10k)
Despite the fact that the Blue-Eyes Young White Dragon could only last for a quarter of an hour.
The cooldown time for “Dragon Egg Conversion” and “Pride IV” were almost perfectly synchronized.
This meant that every hour, he could attempt to hatch one.
Dark spent forty-five minutes on theoretical learning and rest, and fifteen minutes on flight training. Once the Blue-Eyes Young White Dragon could no longer persist, he would use the “Flight Spell” to land, making full use of every second.
By the end of the day, he had made such significant progress in riding that it seemed almost like he had mastered it.
Of course, this was also greatly due to the fact that the dragon he rode was a golem, which could be completely controlled.
A true dragon knight would have to expend enormous effort just to tame a dragon.
Dark once wanted to try riding Claire’s wyvern, but was rejected.
It worked fine when they shared the wyvern, but alone, it didn’t work.
Even with Claire’s attempts to soothe him, it was futile. In the end, he had to give up.
And if a wyvern, a sub-species of dragons, was already so challenging, pure-blood dragons were even more so.
They would basically only allow their chosen dragon knight to ride them, and once selected, that choice would never change.
In terms of “fidelity,” they were far stronger than some humans.
…
As dusk fell, after riding dragons all day, Dark received a pleasant surprise upon entering the manor.
Alvaraite personally cooked, and together with Olivia, prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Just a family feast, it began and ended amidst cheerful merriment.
Dark reluctantly returned to his bedroom, then started packing his luggage.
Just like when leaving school, he needed to bring back a lot of things from the academy.
For this reason, he planned to apply for a wyvern to transport his items.
After a few hours, the doorway was filled with various sized luggage.
The entire bedroom felt much emptier.
Exhausted, Dark lay down, enjoying the fun of being surrounded by cat companions, gradually calming down.
“I have to return to school…”
He had never been so reluctant to leave a holiday before.
Although life within the duke’s mansion was not as exciting as at the academy, the warmth of daily family companionship made it hard to part with.
Knock knock knock.
“Little Demon Beast.”
When the Little Demon Beast opened the door, instead of the expected Olivia, it was Alvaraite wearing a thin nightgown.
“Mama.” Dark called softly.
Alvaraite walked to the bed, naturally crawled under the sheets, and leaned against the headboard: “Baby.”
Dark’s face immediately turned red.
This style of addressing him as either “darling” or “baby” troubled him, but Alvaraite likely wouldn’t change this habit for her entire life.
Dark asked, “Is there something you need?”
“Can’t I come just because?” Alvaraite pouted.
Dark quickly shook his head: “Of course, you can come anytime.”
“Hmm.” Alvaraite tilted her body slightly, resting her head on her baby’s shoulder, feeling that in just a year, his shoulders had grown abnormally broad.
Perhaps by the time she returned home nine months later, he would have fully grown into an adult.
At fourteen, it was the age to undergo adulthood rites in their era.
They quietly leaned against each other for a while.
Then Alvaraite, with a tone full of longing, said, “Remember to think of Mama when you return to the academy.”
“Uh-huh, every moment.” Dark replied.
Alvaraite playfully added, “No need for every moment. Just once a second will do.”
Dark: “Uh-uh-uh.”
Seeing how adorable her baby was, Alvaraite couldn’t resist reaching out to hug him.
Dark obediently lay down, looking up at his mother’s delicate chin, feeling a surge of affection.
During these three months at home, although Alvaraite was mostly busy, she insisted on having dinner together whenever possible.
The warmth of home was built in these点滴 moments.
For a moment, Dark even considered staying here forever…
But rationally, he knew this was impossible.
Staying at home would effectively avoid large-scale interactions with others, but it wouldn’t address the root cause.
Since the start of the vacation, the results had proven this.
These three months hadn’t helped his research much.
He had hit a bottleneck.
Even the flawed “Pride IV” was only produced through a cumbersome replication method.
While he was engrossed in the new evolutionary forms the golems achieved with “Pride IV,” he had not deeply analyzed “Pride IV” itself.
At Saint Maryann Academy, not only did it have a library where almost any book could be found, but it also had a natural experimental site—the secret path!
Starting from the second year, the underground city, which had been opened to students, was a better place to verify what he learned compared to the duke’s training ground.
To seek a breakthrough, he had to return to the academy.
Alvaraite seemed to sense his reluctance, lowered her head to touch his forehead, then said, “Ivy and Irina aren’t planning to open a shop in Traveler’s Street? With their ‘Lingxi Art,’ we can meet regularly. How about once a week?”
Dark blinked involuntarily.
Alvaraite counted on her fingers, “On Friday nights, Mom might have to work overtime. Sundays are too late for you, so how about Saturdays? What about Saturday evenings?”
Mom wants to know what you’re learning at the academy, who your friends are, and what kind of golems you’re forging. And what about the Phoenix girl? Is she studying well?”
Hidden under the covers, the Phoenix girl pulled the blanket over her head.
Alvaraite continued, “I remember starting from the second year, students get permission to enter the underground city. While it’s not particularly dangerous, there are tricky spots. If you don’t keep in touch often, Mom will worry very, very, very much!”
Dark blinked again.
Alvaraite realized that meeting weekly was too frequent and that Ivy and Irina had their own tasks.
So she said with great reluctance, “How about every two weeks? Every four weeks at least! Especially when you’re participating in duels, make sure to notify me in advance, okay?”
Dark finally couldn’t help but laugh.
Alvaraite pulled his cheeks, complaining, “What’s so funny? Can’t we even meet for ten minutes a month?”
Dark smiled, “There’s no need to set a specific time. I’ll often visit the branch in Traveler’s Street. Dinner time on Saturdays from seven to eight, the more the better, okay?”
Alvaraite said joyfully, “Why dinner time?”
Dark replied, “It’s the most relaxed time when eating. Doesn’t mom like watching me eat?”
Alvaraite lightly tapped his nose, playfully scolding, “Of course I do. I like everything you do.”
Dark chuckled.
…
Mother and son leaned against each other, talking intimately all night.
The golems hidden under the covers listened all night too.
Family education is subtle and pervasive. The way one generation interacts easily influences the next.
Some of the golems wanted to become pampered children like Dark.
Others wished to be nurturing mothers like Alvaraite.
But Dark’s strictness in education taught them about boundaries.
For golems, completing their minds happens in every aspect.
As independent personalities gradually developed, each golem had a bright future ahead.
…
That night…
Peaceful and serene.
When the first light of dawn pierced through the night, the people of the capital finally welcomed the last day of August.
Dark put the golems that lined up obediently into his magic cards one by one, then was carried onto the wyvern’s back by Claire.
Accompanying them were five dragons in total.
Three of the dragons carried Eve, Irina, and Phoenix girl Fei Ni Ke on their backs, while the last two dragons served as porters.
Dark and the twins’ luggage were loaded into a huge cradle, dragged by one of the dragons.
Another dragon carried the exclusive products destined for sale in Traveler’s Street, mainly “replicas.”
Once everything was ready, Dark poked his head out from Claire’s arms, his gaze fixed on Alvaraite and the maids seeing them off on the ground.
“Olivia” of the White Ram.
“Janice” of the Fishes.
“Wygor” of the Virgin.
“Chris” of the Scorpion.
“Trina” of the Lion.
…
And standing beside Alvaraite was the head maid and housekeeper, Ms. Jasmine.
Following was the private tutor, Ms. Cook.
And many other maids and guards who had taken time off.
“It feels like it will get boring again.”
“Life without young master is hard.”
“With young master around, there’s always something to talk about, a goal to strive for. Who would bother with recipes once he’s gone?”
“There’s no helping it; laziness is human nature.”
“How nice it must be, Eve and Irina…”
“Oh right, aren’t Eve and Irina supposed to take turns at the shop? Wouldn’t it be too busy with just one person? Don’t judge me, I’m good at managing the store.”
“Don’t you just want to play?”
“Hehe, but I think it’s a good idea!”
“Indeed, why not ask the Duke or Miss Claire?”
…
The maids’ chatter gradually quieted as the dragons began to flap their wings.
Alvaraite forced a smile, her face stern, waving vigorously at the wyvern about to take flight.
Olivia stood behind, tightly gripping her fingers, her brows furrowed with sorrow and reluctance.
Dark opened his mouth and waved energetically.
“Goodbye!”
…
The roar of the dragons rose.
Six dragons suddenly spread their wings, soaring into the sky amidst the fierce wind.
Then, led by Claire’s wyvern, four of the dragons circled Duke’s mansion three times before accelerating and swiftly departing.
Only after the last dragon vanished from sight did Alvaraite lower her head, tightly pressing her lips together.
Compared to last year, she felt much stronger now.
This was partly due to Dark becoming more reliable, and also because of Eve and Irina.
Once Eve and Irina handled their initial tasks, if she couldn’t resist the urge to see her宝贝, she could send one of the twins to find him.
In any case, as auditors, Eve and Irina had permission to enter the castle.
Thinking of this, Alvaraite felt a little happy.
…
Far away, riding the dragons, Dark turned his head after a long while.
The fierce winds were deflected by the wyvern’s “wind barrier.”
Six dragons manipulated the currents, flying faster and faster.
The group only stopped midway to replenish their mana and energy, then continued on.
By seven o’clock in the evening, they arrived smoothly at the academy town.
The academy town was lit up, students and parents bustling about.
Students in the second year and above could directly enter the academy via the teleportation square, while first-year freshmen needed to temporarily stay in the academy town under staff guidance.
Dark still remembered how he was brought by Alvaraite, passing through the barrier, and flying straight into the academy.
“This year, there’s no need to break the rules.”
Dark clapped his hands, instructing the four accompanying dragon riders to unload the luggage and cargo, then ordered them to wait in the academy town.
They would be needed later for transportation.
Once the luggage and cargo were unloaded, Dark summoned the lion beast.
Claire also summoned two golems, one carrying the twins’ luggage and the other the cargo.
The four people, along with the four golems, headed to the teleportation square.
Eve and Irina, as special auditors, wouldn’t participate in the sorting ceremony. They would temporarily live in Claire’s former teacher’s dormitory.
With Claire leading, they didn’t have to worry.
Dark and the phoenix girl parted ways with them in front of the castle, then walked towards the Tower of the Noble Academy.
After being promoted from first to second year, his dorm moved from the second floor to the third, room 301.
The academy’s arrangements were well-organized.
To accommodate new second-year students, a large notice was posted in the common room.
Dark walked through the familiar castle corridors, greeting passing classmates, and arrived at the Tower of the Noble Academy on the southwest side of the academy.
He looked up at the towering tower, took a deep breath, and sighed, “Lion Beast, we’re back.”
The lion beast, carrying a large suitcase, felt its shoulders weighed down.
…
Crossing the bridge between the castle and the tower, the guardian construct of the Noble Academy, the Feathered Serpent, still coiled around the right side of the entrance.
When Dark reached the door, it slowly opened its eyes, its yellow snake pupils gleaming faintly, its colorful feathers spreading gently as it nodded at Dark.
Dark was surprised by the Feathered Serpent’s rare gentleness, but he maintained his composure and politely bowed, then pushed open the tower’s door.
Soft lights filtered through the gaps, illuminating his face.
The cold air hit them, making their ears noisy yet refreshing.
Dark stepped inside and saw magical golems floating in the air like ice bags, emitting cold air while sprinkling beautiful snowflakes, creating a dream-like scene.
The noble academy students who had arrived at the academy early were frolicking in the common room, expressing their longing for each other after three months apart.
Opening their eyes, they could see pairs of “long-lost”异地情侣, boys clamoring to play chess, and girls huddled together whispering secrets.
Most of them only glanced at the opened door before paying no more attention.
Every moment in these few days, students arrived, and everyone was used to it.
Dark, with the lion beast, weaved through the crowd, his gaze unconsciously searching for the first-year—now second-year—students.
Upon spotting Tudor Teddy and the chubby Pistons crying in a corner, he smiled and waved at them, then quickened his pace up the stairs.
Seeing familiar faces, he felt as if he instantly transformed from a duke’s son to a regular student.
Dark suddenly realized that he actually enjoyed the life at the academy.
Behind him, Phoenix Feinix curiously surveyed her surroundings, closely following.
When she entered the corridor, Dulong and Pistons, who had just greeted them, suddenly calmed down, then looked at each other. Dulong exclaimed, “Wait, who is the girl following Dark?”
Pistons immediately held his chin, adopting a detective pose: “Could she be a transfer student from the second year?”
Dulong glared at him, “St. Maryan doesn’t have any transfer students. She feels a bit off to me.”
Pistons quickly said, “I understand, I understand. You always feel this way when you see pretty girls.”
“Go to hell!” Dulong lunged at him, and they started playing around.
Though they might not notice it yet, higher-grade students were already quietly discussing.
Complete human-form golems, whether human or sub-human species, were extremely rare.
Such lifelike golems like Phoenix were hard to come by in the entire St. Maryan.
If it weren’t for Dark Demon leading her, some upperclassmen might have been tempted to ask about the creation method.
…
When they reached the second floor, Dark instinctively headed toward the corridor but stopped after two steps, smiling and stepping back, shaking his head, “Habit is truly scary.”
Phoenix, seeing this, asked curiously, “Did you and Victoria live on this floor before?”
Dark nodded slightly, “Yes, first-year students generally live on the second floor of the tower. If you’re assigned to the noble academy during the house assignment ceremony, you can stay in one of these rooms.”
Phoenix shook her head, “I wish, but it seems unlikely. Aunt Claire said that both Victoria and I will probably be assigned to the fool’s academy.”
“As golems, we don’t have noble blood, nor are we sub-humans. We cannot enter the noble academy.”
“And Victoria and I lack the desire to learn, so we won’t make it into the mana academy either. As for courage… I’m not sure. I can’t tell the difference between recklessness and bravery.”
Dark paused, patiently listening to Phoenix’s words.
Phoenix had been with the vampire noble, who was quite talkative, while Phoenix herself was rather quiet, so it was rare to hear her speak so much.
It turned out her emotions were already so delicate.
Dark nodded slightly, “Regardless, starting today, you are a first-year student at St. Maryan Academy. I can’t keep calling you Phoenix. So, Phoenix, do you want to go to the fool’s academy or the knight academy?”
Phoenix raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of sharpness, and whispered, “Demon…”
Dark laughed, “Call me brother.”
Phoenix’s tone faltered, then she corrected herself, “Brother Dark, you know, my true form is a spear.”
Phoenix Armed — Immortal Divine Spear!
Phoenix was actually transformed from a divine spear, and a spear symbolizes a knight.
Dark nodded slightly and said, “Then believe in yourself; you will surely be a qualified student of the knight academy.”
Phoenix responded, “Yes!”
…
Dark continued upward and soon reached the third floor.
Compared to the empty second floor, the third floor was much livelier.
First-year students who had just advanced to second-year were still visiting each other late at night.
As Dark walked, he greeted everyone, and in no time, the whole second year knew that Dark Demon had returned!
In Rose’s room, Diana was chattering away about holiday matters when she noticed a girl knock on the door and wink meaningfully.
Diana immediately understood, thanked her, and pulled Rose out to run.
“Oh, wait!”
Rose hurriedly put her feet into bunny slippers and, somewhat flustered, adjusted her tousled light blonde hair.
Diana paused at the door, finally realizing something, and stopped, turning to lean against the door, waiting for Rose.
Unlike Diana, who frequently visited the duke’s mansion during the holidays, Rose hadn’t left home since her birthday party on June 6th.
Three months without seeing each other made Rose feel a bit distant from Dark.
Her shyness took over.
To rush out like this when Dark arrived was somewhat embarrassing.
Suppressing the rising anticipation in her heart, Rose combed her hair in front of the mirror, applied some lipstick, and nervously patted her cheeks to ensure there were no flaws before standing up.
But in fact, she was wearing a pink bunny pajama set that wasn’t suitable for meeting people.
She completely overlooked this detail and, holding hands with Diana, who was also in a bear pajama set, pushed the door open.
But as they were about to see the door of room 301, they happened to see a petite figure in a pink, lightweight nightgown pushing the door in.
“Gurk!”
0（>-<）0;
Diana pouted, looking like she had caught a cat sneaking around.
Rose whispered, "It's Eudora."
"Annoying." Diana quickly grabbed Rose's hand and quickened her pace.
...
Inside 301.
After entering, Dark released the "Mana Book," ordering it to summon the golems one by one.
He himself spread out the "Paradise" in the room.
The layout of the second-year dorms was basically the same as the first year, except there were many more cabinets on the walls.
To his surprise, the small bed and other items he left in the first-year dorm had been moved into this room and arranged perfectly.
...
Everything was set up neatly as before.
The small futons of the golems were also cleaned and placed properly on the beds.
As each golem was summoned one by one, they showed obvious signs of joy.
For those golems that had lived in the academy dorms since their creation, those small beds held significant meaning in their hearts.
Even if Dark really managed to get them more spacious accommodations, they might still prefer sleeping on these small beds.
Dark felt their joy, and warmth filled his heart.
This unfamiliar dormitory seemed to become familiar at a glance.
However, it appeared—there were clearly not enough beds!
"It's time to order some new furniture."
Dark thought to himself as he casually opened "Paradise."
After the upgrade, operating "Paradise" became much smoother.
He unfolded the triangular water pool in the corner of the walls, added a stone table and several stone chairs, and laid out light yellow healing flowers on the balcony.
As the scent of the healing flowers slowly spread, the room began to feel more like home.
Dark nodded with satisfaction and started unpacking his luggage.
But as soon as he took out a sleeping grass cat from the "air box," someone knocked on the door.
"Is that Diana?"
Dark immediately thought of the little bear and asked the imp beast to open the door, while he continued to take out other grass cats.
Eudora Vane entered Room 301 under such circumstances.
She intended to walk straight in after entering, but the sudden gaze of the golems made her stop instinctively at the door.
There seemed to be an atmosphere she couldn't step into within the room.
Only when Dark realized that the visitor was not Diana in the unexpectedly quiet environment did she continue forward upon his warm greeting.
Dark wasn't surprised by Eudora's early arrival. He smiled and said, "Eudora? Did you do your homework over the holiday?"
Who asks such a question right away?
But Eudora didn't mind at all and simply replied with a nod, then shyly said, "During the summer vacation, I went to the Star Tower with Professor Metia. I did my homework diligently."
Upon mentioning Professor Metia Barcello, Dark became interested. He looked forward to it and asked, "So, has Professor Metia decided whether to continue teaching?"
Eudora whispered, "She has returned to the academy and said she will offer an elective course in astrology."
"Peep!" Eevee instantly perked up its ears and jumped to Dark's feet.
"Has it been decided?" Dark rubbed its head and chuckled. "Looks like there's another elective course for second year students."
Eudora's eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, "Really? Then we can watch the stars together again at night."
Dark blinked and said, "How about watching the meteor shower together?"
Just as they spoke, the door was knocked on again.
The diligent little imp beast went to open the door once more.
This time, standing at the door were Diana and Rose, just as Dark had expected.
As soon as Diana entered, she caught the imp beast trying to fly back to its perch and forcibly held it close as she walked forward.
Rose closed the door behind her and followed.
Dark's gaze bypassed Diana's shoulder and he smiled at Rose, saying, "Rose, long time no see. I heard that Debby Giles, the senior student, came to work at your place?"
"Yeah," Rose said bashfully. "Senior Giles told me that you recommended her. She taught me a lot of useful things."
"That's good," Dark said with a smile. "I need to organize my luggage now. Feel free to sit anywhere."
Diana yawned and said, "Enough talk, we're here to help you organize."
Rose also asked, "Is there anything we should avoid?"
Dark was somewhat surprised and said, "No, there isn't. But I have the golems to help, so it won't take long."
Diana waved her hand and said, "More hands make it faster. Today, I'll show you what my Rose can do!"
With that, she casually tossed the imp beast aside and picked up the grass cat from the floor, asking, "Where should they go?"
Dark thought for a moment and said, "Let's put them at the head of the bed first."
Then he carried the dragon grass into the water pool and turned back to gesture to Piplup.
"Momo—"
Piplup immediately leaped into the water pool.
The three girls who entered last only noticed the triangular water pool in the corner at this point; apart from Diana, the other two looked surprised.
"This is a small application of field cards."
Dark explained briefly and then moved the worm tree from the "air box" to the corner of the balcony, quickly installing a fence around it.
Afterwards, he began taking out various bottles and jars and arranging them, while Diana turned back to help move the books.
"What about me..."
Rose looked around and suddenly brightened, eyeing Dark's bedding.
So she started helping to make the bed.
Seeing the two girls act so proficiently, Eudora stood alone in the middle of the bedroom, momentarily at a loss.
Suddenly, she brightened and handed Dark's toiletries...
After putting them away, she turned her attention to Dark's change of clothes.
Dark was startled and quickly walked over with a smile. "I can do this myself."
Eudora: "I can help."
Dark: "I can't let you!"
...
With the help of the three girls, Dark quickly organized all his luggage. Looking at the soft bed, he couldn't help but marvel at the power of teamwork.
Unfortunately, the girls didn't leave after offering their help.
Dark placed the water-filled kettle on the mana stove and invited the three to sit down, then they chatted idly.
In the middle of their chat, Dark called Phoenix and Victoria closer and introduced them to Rose and Eudora respectively.
Eudora was very curious about the human-form golems but hadn't mustered the courage to ask.
When she learned that they were actually new freshmen, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.
Even Rose was hearing this for the first time, and her face showed complete astonishment.
Victoria and Phoenix, under Dark's instructions, politely greeted the three seniors and quickly won their favor.
Once the two golems gradually integrated into the conversation, the clever Little Dark took the opportunity to slip away, waking up the grass cats one by one and leisurely watering them.
After a day of travel and fatigue, Dark was actually quite tired.
After watering the "cat juice," he finally pulled out a form from between the pages of his notebook and returned, saying, "So, have you thought about which elective courses to take for second year?"
Rose lightly bit her lip and said
Dao said, "Eudora mentioned that Professor Metia will be offering an astrology class, and I want to take it."
Dark nodded and said, "Come to think of it, you do have a talent for divination. It's good to learn more to avoid unintentional divinations. What about Diana?"
Diana rolled her eyes and pouted, "Is it too late to say I don't want to take the astrology class now?"
Rose grabbed her hand and said, "It's not too late."
Diana let out a "Wah" and hugged her tightly, shaking her.
Dark shook his head and said, "Starting from second year, each grade can choose one or two elective courses. I plan to take one astrology course and one alchemy course.
Here’s the list of elective courses I got from the professors. Take a look. Elective courses are very important, so we shouldn’t choose based on other factors."
"Alchemy?"
Eudora bit her lip and fell into thought.
Dark glanced at her and roughly guessed her thoughts.
But alchemy indeed was a good choice. Even if Eudora chose this course, there would be no discomfort.
On the contrary, Diana and Rose needed to consider this carefully. Blindly following the trend would only waste their talents.
Diana clearly understood Dark’s meaning. She pouted as she took the form from him and studied it closely with Rose.
Although second-year students could choose only one elective course, anyone with a bit of ambition wouldn’t choose just one.
After carefully examining it, Diana pointed to one of the rows and said, "Knight Training Course."
Dark looked and smiled, "A knight training course offered by third-year professors is indeed a good choice. Then what about the other one?"
"Astrology..." Diana felt uncomfortable under Dark’s gaze and quickly looked away, pointing to another row, "Then this one."
"Let me see." Dark leaned in and examined it closely.
The second elective course Diana chose was a transformation class offered by Professor Pavar Jones!
Dark was somewhat surprised, "Transformation classes require quite a bit of talent, don’t they?"
Diana bit her finger and said, "I want to learn it!"
Dark frowned, "This isn’t something you can learn just because you want to. The magic spell card for the 'Transfiguration Spell' is usually something advanced that fifth or sixth years can handle.
Unless you can get a half-finished 'Transfiguration Spell' like me, and even then, you need to master the mana language first."
Diana pursed her lips, "I’ll work hard."
Dark still shook his head, "Mana language is a main subject for second years, so you must learn it. I can help you find a way to obtain the 'Transfiguration Spell' magic spell card. But before making this decision, you should consult with Professor Pavar Jones."
Diana nodded vigorously, "I will."
"Alright," Dark said, "Knight Training and Transformation classes will be our tentative choices. What about you, Rose?"
Rose also had her own ideas. After marking the astrology course, she pointed to another course, "This one."
"Let me see." Dark leaned in and nodded, "Sister Carrian is offering a special medical course this year. If you’re interested in medicine, this would be a great elective."
"Really? That’s exactly what I was thinking." Rose couldn’t help but smile.
Then she handed the form to Eudora, "Eudora, take a look too."
Eudora shook her head, "No, I’ve already made up my mind."
Dark sighed, "Elective courses start in the second week of school. We still have a week to think about it.
During this week, professors will provide consultation services. If you don’t meet the prerequisites, you won’t be able to take the course.
Tomorrow is the house sorting ceremony, and the day after is Sunday. I suggest consulting the day after tomorrow. Especially Diana, you mustn’t forget!"
Diana covered her head.
Dark put away the form and said, "That’s all for now. It’s getting late. Thank you for helping me clean up tonight."
Seeing Dark’s intention to end the conversation, Eudora stood up timidly, bowed her head, and said, "I’m glad. I’ll go back now. Good night."
"Have sweet dreams," Dark smiled.
Little Dream Demon floated past him opportunely.
"Let’s go," Rose pulled Diana up and waved, "Good night, Eudora. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow," Dark saw the three girls off and locked the door behind them. He then dragged himself into the bathroom for a good soak.
...
Soaking in the warm bathtub, Dark lay back and opened the "System Panel".
In the last month of vacation, he had restrained himself, and some values had returned to normal.
【Pride: 94 - 91】
【Envy: 44 - 42】
【Wrath: 86 - 83】
【Sloth: 66 - 63】
【Greed: 93 - 92】
【Gluttony: 80 - 79】
【Bliss: 93 - 91】
In August, he drew 9 points of "Pride", 3 points of "Greed", and 3 points of "Bliss".
However, despite drawing down "Pride", "Greed", and "Bliss" to 90 points, they still rose uncontrollably.
On the other hand, "Envy", "Wrath", "Sloth", and "Gluttony" all decreased.
As for the remaining reserves...
After the experiment ended, only 1 point of "Pride" remained.
"It feels like when I first started as a first-year student."
Dark tapped his forehead and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Next, adjust my approach slightly. I can collect 3 points of "Greed" and 3 points of "Bliss", and use the latest conjure method to create a "Greed II" and a "Bliss II". Let’s see if Ibu really gains additional field spells after upgrading.
Then consider researching "Wrath" or "Gluttony."
Also, I feel that the Technique of the Shadow God is just a hair’s breadth away from breaking through.
I wonder what kind of benefits I’ll gain once it reaches the初级 level?"
Dark focused slightly.
In fact, after successfully using mental power to assist Deoxys in evolving into a Celestial Beast, he had noticed his mental strength had broken through some barrier.
Correspondingly, the "Technique of the Shadow God" showed signs of imminent breakthrough.
"Maybe I’ll break through while sleeping."
Dark gradually closed his eyes, letting sleep cover his thoughts.
"For now, think about the house sorting ceremony tomorrow."
