The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　A student like Emma, ​​who values ​​grades highly, would naturally find this unacceptable.

　But as the content of the "astrology class" became more and more difficult, she gradually forgot about this situation.

　Looking back now, it feels like being struck by lightning.

　Professor Mitia's bet was against Professor McDonald, a senior and renowned professor of "Astrology".

　Therefore, apart from second-year students, the vast majority of students interested in divination choose Professor McDonald's "Astrology Class".

　With so many resources at his disposal, Professor McDonald naturally selects students who are all quite qualified.

　Betty Murray, for example, was one of the leftovers...

　"professor."

　Like a fish struggling in vain on a chopping board, Emma raised her hand with a complicated expression.

　"Metis, is there anything you want to ask?"

　Professor Mitis said gently.

　Emma then asked, "Professor McDonald, how many students do you have?"

　Professor Mitis smiled and said, "Thirty."

　Emma: "..."

　Pistan Kellogg raised his hand somewhat hastily and said, "Wait, Professor, aren't we comparing the probability of making the correct prediction?"

　Professor Mitis remained smiling: "Number of times."

　Pistan exclaimed in surprise, "How can they possibly win? They're outnumbered by twice as many!"

　The students below the stage immediately erupted in chaos, and everyone's expression changed instantly.

　Professor Mitya smiled and shook her head: "Divination isn't about the number of people. Everyone predicts different events. What we're talking about is the number of times an event is predicted."

　Pistan quickly asked, "How many things can one person predict?"

　Professor Mitya nodded and said, "The evaluation criteria are mainly based on the number of events correctly predicted. If the same event happens to occur, it will be attributed to the more accurate prediction."

　“I see.” Pistan sat down with a relaxed expression.

　Then, in the next instant, he bounced up like a ball: "Isn't it still the same?"

　"Hahaha." Professor Mitya laughed heartlessly. "Having more people is naturally an advantage. But you also have your advantages."

　"What advantages?" someone asked.

　Professor Mitya then said seriously, "Your talent surpasses theirs."

　……

　Specifically.

　Professor McDonald had almost all of the students in the third year and above.

　But Professor Mitis had a monopoly on second-year students.

　This year's second-year students are extraordinary.

　Among the senior students, some of the more talented ones had already taken "astrology" courses in the previous two years, and those people naturally wouldn't be in this betting game.

　Therefore, Professor Mitia's statement about talent was not an exaggeration.

　The talent for divination is rare to begin with.

　……

　After being suddenly praised, the fifteen students quieted down.

　Then Professor Mitya said, in what she considered humor, "And there aren't fifteen students in our class, there are sixteen."

　"Bue-ee?" Little Eevee tilted its head, attracting everyone's attention.

　The air in the classroom suddenly felt a bit cold.

　……

　"Alright, enough of this small talk."

　Professor Mitya patted the table and said, "For a seasoned diviner, every divination can be divided into two situations: one that requires paying a price, and the other that does not. The former allows one to directly glimpse the future, while the latter involves making predictions by observing the patterns in how things work."

　Even if the former is misinterpreted, the future it sees is necessarily real and exists on a certain path of destiny.

　"The latter is a probabilistic event, and the prediction is not precise. Even the best fortune teller cannot guarantee 100% accuracy."

　"Compared to the two, the former is naturally better."

　"But unless necessary, fortune tellers usually do not choose to pay for divination."

　"Of course, even if you wanted to use it, you couldn't."

　"I didn't teach it at all."

　……

　students:"……"

　……

　In the ensuing silence, Professor Mitya continued nonchalantly, “Astrology is a technique for predicting the future by observing the trajectories of celestial bodies. Tonight is the night of the full moon, so I recommend a lunar divination. Well then, it’s your time now. Before get out of class ends, write down your divination results and hand them to me. There’s no limit to the number of divinations, but there can’t be any overlapping events. Let’s begin.”

　The atmosphere in the classroom quickly became tense.

　Regardless of whether a bet is involved, the students can do the same thing at this point.

　The so-called unlimited number of divination sessions, if actually implemented, is not very meaningful.

　Because a person's energy is limited, and the time available for divination is also limited.

　For the average student, being able to complete a highly accurate divination in this lesson would already be a pretty good achievement.

　Professor Mitia narrowed her eyes slightly, scanning them one by one as they moved quickly, finally settling on Eudora.

　She has to keep an eye on her, especially Eudora.

　To prevent this troublesome student from accidentally triggering the "Apocalypse" again.

　……

　In the last row of the classroom, Darko Dimon and Ibrahimovic finally started moving.

　"Ee-boo!" Little Eevee patted Dark's hand with its paw pad, urging him on.

　"Shouldn't we prepare first?" Dark asked as he took "Pride III" out of his card pack.

　Little Ibuki shook his head vigorously, then nodded vigorously.

　Dark has a "Pride III" and a "Pride IV" in his hand.

　Both of these "Sin Cards" can evolve "Eevee" into "Eevee".

　Once it evolves, Eevee's divination abilities will receive a leap in improvement.

　However, each "Sin Card" only lasts for fifteen minutes, so it's best to use it at crucial moments.

　Of course, there are also advantages to using it now.

　The "astrology class" lasts ninety minutes, and if you're quick, you might be able to use both of the "Sin Cards" twice.

　With Eevee successfully evolving into "Eevee: Eevee", Dark stopped paying attention to it and instead focused all his attention on his astrology.

　Astrology is divided into two main categories: "astrological divination" and "constellation divination".

　Dark chose the "Moon Divination" from the "Astrology" section.

　He took out a magic card he had made in a previous lesson, placed it in the center of the table, and then touched the card to infuse it with magic.

　The crystal ball in the card slowly emerged and gradually grew into a standard divination crystal ball.

　In the era of mages, even diviners rarely used real crystal balls anymore.

　The crystal ball summoned using the item card is closely connected to one's own magic power, allowing one to see more during divination.

　After summoning it, Dark opened his arms, holding the crystal ball in a gesture, and began to perform the "Astrology" as required.

　Clouds and mist gradually rose from within the crystal ball.

　The clouds grew larger, drifting out in clusters until they finally enveloped the surface of the crystal ball. Sparks of electricity flickered, and the crystal ball began to rotate.

　Beside him, Espeon sat down and used an item card to summon a crystal ball, performing "Astrology" in the same manner.

　The item card for that crystal ball isn't really a genuine magic card; it can be activated simply by injecting magic power, making it extremely convenient to use.

　Dark chose "Moon reading".

　Espeon naturally chooses "Sun Divination".

　Although the full moon was high in the sky and the sun's power was at its lowest, it had only mastered this one branch of astrology during its six months of study, with no other options.

　Students selected by Professor Mitia are naturally not too bad.

　Soon, all fifteen or sixteen students were in the zone.

　Then, at a certain spot, a beam of light shimmering with starlight suddenly descended, landing precisely on one of the crystal balls, causing the scene within that crystal ball to change, visible only to that person.

　—That's Eudora Envy.

　The students in the classroom were already used to it.

　Eudora's talent for divination is widely recognized; even Professors Mitia and McDonald might not be as good as her.

　……

　Immediately afterwards, beams of light fell one after another, illuminating the entire classroom.

　Professor Mitia stood on the podium, observing the operation of all the students' "astrology," and a slightly satisfied expression appeared on her face.

　A fortune teller never makes a bet he cannot win.

　This was a bet between her and Professor McDonald, and also a contest of strength.

　What she said before was not false.

　Her students were more talented than Professor McDonald's students.

　Because two of the students had such outstanding divination talent!

　Eudora Envy, and Rose Frody!

　Although Professor McDonald had a few talented students, they were at best comparable to Emma and Sarah's divination talents and could not be considered the first batch.

　Thinking this, her gaze unconsciously fell on another target she had always been paying attention to—Dark Dimon.

　Then her pupils contracted, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and she murmured, "It's improved again...this talent..."

　From nothing.

　From weak to strong.

　Dark's change in talent could not be kept secret from Professor Mitia in the end.

　She knew that this might be the variable that Professor McDonald had failed to see through.

　……

　Time passed slowly, and the students were all focused on the divination; there was not a sound in the classroom.

　Suddenly, Eudora Envy opened her tightly closed eyes, and a blush flashed across her face.

　Professor Mitis suddenly froze, a bad feeling creeping over her.

　Then she saw Eudora write a line of delicate handwriting on the paper.

　Professor Mitia moved silently, her dark shadow sweeping over and obscuring Eudora's desk.

　Yudora suddenly realized what was happening and instinctively flipped the note over. Then, she timidly looked up at her teacher with a fearful expression.

　Professor Mitis's face was tense, and she remained silent.

　But Eudora already knew what she wanted to say.

　Silence is better than sound.

　……

　Tonight, Professor Mitia actually set up a magical barrier in the classroom, which amplifies the power of the stars, making "astrology" easier to operate and slightly improving its accuracy.
