The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

A total of 105 points of [Pride], the overflow part exceeded 5 points.

It meant that the limit of the [Deadly Sin] that could be extracted using the "Dragonfly Touching Water method" took a short step forward, and it may even reach 95 points or 90 points.

But because Wrath at 89 points wasn't able to overflow Dark's mind, it meant that this limit was still above 89 points.

But this was already very good news.

The [Deadly Sin] that originally required more than 100 points to be safely extracted could now be extracted as long as it exceeded 90 points.

Not only did it increase the total amount that could be extracted, but it also reduced the danger line a little, so that Dark's future research would have more leeway!

Dark suppressed his excitement and began to patiently perceive the approximate value of this limit.

"5 points, 6 points, 7 points..."

Until the amount of 10 points, the overflow of [Pride] finally reached the limit!

After feeling it again more carefully, Dark opened his eyes, waited quietly for ten minutes, and then used the same method again to increase the amount of [Lust] overflow.

The final result was that the current limit was indeed around 95 points.

The limit of 95 points was reduced by 5 points compared to the previous 100 points.

5 points may seem like a small amount, but it was actually very significant.

Because this made Dark see the possibility!

After all, both [Soulless Curse] and [Spiritual Concentration Art] could be improved!

...

"Increasing the concentration and output rate of emotions through spiritual concentration art makes [Deadly Sin] more likely to be extracted."

"Through Soulless Curse, reducing the mind's sealing effect makes [deadly sin] more likely to overflow."

"The former increases the amount extracted at one time."

"The latter raises the upper limit that can be extracted."

"If the limit can be continuously lowered, not only can the experimental materials be guaranteed, but also the safety will continue to improve!"

"Unfortunately, whether it is [spiritual concentration art] or [Soulless Curse], they are both extremely difficult to improve.”

“The [Soulless Curse] is more difficult to improve than the [Spiritual Concentration Art].”

“If there is still a chance to use the Holy Grail, I can probably try to improve the [Soulless Curse]."

...

Dark put down his pen and took the magic brain dropper from one side, ready to extract today's [deadly sin].

According to his original plan, he would first extract a drop of [Greed] as research material.

Then he would consider other things.

For example, collect seven [Greed] points to cultivate [Greed Fruit].

Or collect ten [Pride] to craft [Pride Ⅲ].

In addition, he could also extract some of various types, and accumulate enough quantities to try to craft [Deadly Sin Ⅳ].

However, with the deepening of research, Dark found that the crafting method of emotional cards seemed to be unable to meet the subsequent crafting of [Deadly Sin Ⅳ]. He may need to develop a special crafting magic circle to continue.

If there was no mistake in his judgment, forcibly crafting [Deadly Sin Ⅳ] without developing an exclusive crafting magic circle would have extremely high probability of failure. As a result, a lot of time and resources would be wasted.

So Dark was a little hesitant about the option of accumulating [Deadly Sin] and crafting [Deadly Sin Ⅳ].

In contrast, the options of cultivating [Greed Fruit] and crafting [Pride Ⅲ] were more attractive to him.

[Greed Fruit] could be made into a new magical spirit.

[Pride Ⅲ] should unlock the new evolutionary form of [Phantom Magic Beast: Eevee].

Of course, if he collected all seven points of [Pride] to cultivate [Pride Fruit (Fox)], it was also possible to craft another evolutionary Eevee corresponding to Sylveon.

All in all, there were plenty of options.

...

Dark picked up the magic brain dropper, put the tip against his temple, and then used [spiritual concentration art] to extract a drop of [Greed].

Then, he dripped that drop of [Greed] into the Bottle of Thoughts, and performed the final process tonight - observation and recording!

The drop still consisted of 1.5 points of [Greed].

It exuded a very light, unexpectedly familiar aura!

"This is..."

Dark thought carefully, and suddenly felt that the aura of [Greed] was similar to the strange aura emanating from the Holy Grail!

This discovery surprised Dark and made him wonder: "Greed, what exactly is it?"

...

However, this philosophical question was destined to have no fixed answer.

Dark didn't think about this question for too long. He got up and injected the drop of [Greed] into the Worm Tree for storage, then packed up the experimental tools, and went to bed after washing up!

It was very late today, and there was still class tomorrow.

…

Tuesday, January 2.

Saint Marian Academy finally ushered in the true start of the second semester of this academic year.

The class schedule for the new semester of the first year was basically unchanged from the previous semester.

It was just that the first class of the new semester was temporarily changed from the Duel Class to Professor Silver's Summoning Class.

And it was said that Magic Beast Class, which had not been taught in the previous semester, would be taught from time to time this semester!

In addition, the dueling club recruitment was scheduled to be held on the afternoon of this Friday.

Apart from these points to note, there was nothing else.

On the first morning after the long vacation, most of the first-year students had not yet recovered from the leisurely state.

Until Professor Silver entered the classroom, the students instinctively fell silent.

Dark looked up from the textbook and noticed that Professor Silver didn't wear makeup as always. However, her delicate facial features and pretty face was more perfect than a lady with makeup on.

The ethereal beauty that had been passed down from her elf lineage was like the magic work of nature, and it always made people feel inferior.

Dark occasionally felt that maybe her behavior of showing a cold face every day was a good thing for the students.

Otherwise, the students' attention would be firmly absorbed by her beauty, and how would they be able to study seriously?

...

In the first summoning class, half of the class was spent in Professor Silver's speech.

The other half of the class was used to review the knowledge points of the previous semester, especially the related theory and practice of tribute summoning!

Dark was called on stage to demonstrate, of course, using the [Summoning Card] for practice.

[Summoning Card] also had star ratings, but its card face was always a colored light ball with magic energy of 100 and attack and defense of 0.

Dark first activated two 2-star [Summoning Cards] with Normal Summoning Spell, each with a cast time of between three and four seconds.

Then he used tribute summoning to summon a 4-star [Summoning Card], and the casting time was within ten seconds!

"Excellent, you did it in less than 25 seconds in total." Professor Silver showed a rare smile.

One of the final assessments of the first-year summoning class was to require students to use the Normal Summoning Spell to activate three magic cards within two rounds.

One of the final assessments of the second-year summoning class required students to complete a 4-star magical spirit tribute summoning within one round.

And Dark's summoning speed had far exceeded the standard of the first year, and even exceeded the assessment standard of the second year!

In addition, both Normal Summoning Spell and tribute summoning had a limit of 3 seconds.

So the summoning limit for a 4-star magical spirit should be 15 seconds.

The higher the star rating, the harder it was to increase the summoning speed.

If one could complete the summoning of a 4-star magical spirit in 15 seconds, one would have reached the top level speed.

The average sixth year student would not necessarily be able to reach this limit.

But every good dueler would always be able to maintain the top level speed.

...

Dark's excellent performance aroused a wave of loud applause.

He put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and then stepped off the podium.

He was very striking no matter the time and place.

Eudora under the podium looked at the blond boy walking off the podium like looking at a luminous sun, feeling that he was more dazzling than ever!

Her eyes flashed slightly, and a strange blush appeared on her face.

When Dark's eyes swept over, she hurriedly lowered her head again, pretending that she had been listening carefully to the class.

White and Robert sitting in the back row unexpectedly weren't distracted in the class this time.

Dianna responded to Dark's glance with a smile.

Finally, the new semester has begun.

...

In the break after the Summoning Class, Dark walked to the classroom for the arithmetic class.

The new semester was not necessarily a new look.

Despite many lessons from the last semester, the old bad habits of the little magisters still returned to them at the beginning of the second semester.

Except for Dianna and Rose who followed Dark, Emma was the only one in the arithmetic class.

But overall, students were more punctual than last semester.

Five minutes before the class bell rang, all the students had already arrived.

They all gathered together in twos and threes and talked about various topics. Even in the colder winter, they were still full of vigor.

...

"Ring, ring, ring."

The little fairy with dragonfly wings flew in in a swaying manner.

Dark had only seen her once at the opening ceremony after Christmas.

The daily hangover did not affect the appearance of the fairy.

But Professor Didi's departure had a big impact on Professor Lily, and she would occasionally show a particularly lonely expression.

But she didn't show it too much in front of the students.

Today's fairy was still cheerful, cute, and lazy... When her eyes occasionally met with the eyes of the blond boy, there was also a hint of shyness that was hard to hide.

Dark: "???"

...

Professor Lilly got right to the main topic of the arithmetic class just a few minutes after the class began.

She drew a circle, triangle and square on the blackboard, starting to teach plane geometry.

Dark didn't feel anything other than the occasional feeling that her glances were deliberately avoiding the area he was sitting.

For him, the arithmetic class in the new semester was still knowledge that could be mastered easily.

He simply took out the crafting problems of [Fusion] and [Zoo], and used the time in the arithmetic class to think about those problems carefully.

Not knowing if it was an illusion, he always felt that the efficiency of solving problems in class was higher than that after class - especially when answering questions unrelated to the class.

So this more than an hour of self-studying was very rewarding.

….

The learning process is mostly boring.

We cannot always expect to have fun during learning.

Just like you can't always expect to learn something in a game.

After the arithmetic class, Dark went to the cafeteria for lunch with Dianna and Rose, and then instead of going into the library like at the beginning of last semester, he returned to the tower of Noble House.

The moment he entered the dormitory, the noisy atmosphere inside instantly froze.

The magical spirits turned their heads slowly to look at their master who appeared at the door, and they all quietly stopped making noise, pretending to be serious and holding up the early childhood picture book that they actually didn't understand...

Seeing this, Noble House Room 201 Kindergarten Principal, Dark Demon, covered his forehead again, feeling helpless.

But you reap what you sow.

The magical spirits were essentially incapable of disobeying the master's command.

As long as Dark wanted to, he could give an order to "read carefully" and force the magical spirits to "read books" when he was away.

But doing that would be like putting the cart before the horse.

With a sigh, Dark threw himself onto the bed and took an afternoon nap.

When he woke up, there were a few more magical spirits that curled up beside him.

But he had gradually gotten used to this situation. After getting up, he just gently rubbed the head of a magical spirit, and then got out of bed.

Tuesday afternoon was History of Magic, the new History of Magic professor's first class.

Unlike some of his classmates who were greatly influenced by the appearance, Dark was very interested in [Lance Hero] Ryan Hex's first lecture, and wanted to hear his personal experience of war stories.

...

But just after Dark went out, Sylveon, who had just been lucky enough to enjoy "Dark's Pet", suddenly opened its eyes and looked proudly at the biggest competitor in the field - Gatomon!

"Heh, childish." Gatomon slowly got up from the bed with strong disdain in its tone.

But Sylveon understood in a second that Gatomon was showing off that it could communicate with their master verbally!

So a tug-of-war, invisible to Dark, started again!

…

Ryan Hex did not take up the position of the head of Fool House.

Instead, he continued the teaching practice of History of Magic at the end of last semester, and gathered students from a total of four houses in a large classroom to start classes together.

History of Magic did not need to be explained in too much detail in essence, so there was no difference between two classes and one class.

For a new professor, it was easier to get used to the position by bringing all the students of the same year together.

In fact, History of Magic was the "ideological and political course" in the curriculum of Saint Marian Academy.

On the one hand, the academy hoped that students would not forget history, on the other hand, they hoped that students could use history as a mirror, learn good thoughts, and establish correct values.

So the teaching content of History of Magic had always been very broad.

There were three professors teaching History Of Magic last semester—Didi, principal, and Claire, and they all taught completely different things.

But the core ideas expressed were actually similar.

And that was to remember the sacrifice of heroes and cherish the hard-earned peace.

Which was dovish thinking.

But as soon as Mr. Ryan Hex opened his mouth, Dark immediately understood that this Professor Hex was a war hawk through and through!
