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

　When Witt's consciousness is switched to the surface, the metal box turns green.

　In this way, others will not leak information due to misidentification.

　Therefore, these two metal boxes cannot be covered.

　However, the hat that Dak specially selected can change the color of its material by recognizing special colors within the hat.

　In other words, when the metal box turns red, the hat will turn into a red hat.

　When the metal box turns green, the hat will become a green hat.

　In this way, Witt could wear a winter hat in the cold winter, which would keep him warm and also cover the two metal boxes, so that he would not be stared at by others.

　Dak went to great lengths to prepare such a hat.

　But what can you do when he's such a kind-hearted and good young man?

　Doing good deeds is never tiring.

　……

　The following day, Sunday.

　After getting up early, Dak went to the traveler's street again.

　With the Christmas ball just two nights away, the number of students coming and going on Travelers' Street has increased significantly.

　After much deliberation, Dak finally went into a well-known jewelry store on the street.

　When he came out again, he was wearing a ruby ​​ring.

　After buying the ring, he went to the "Journey" materials store and picked up a few materials that might be useful.

　"Journey" is a low-price store where the ingredients are of good quality but cheap, though of low quality.

　But what he was looking for was precisely materials of low quality.

　Around nine o'clock in the morning, Dark returned to his dormitory and, without hesitation, began his magical experiment on the spot.

　Using a ruby ​​ring as the core material, supplemented by various low-grade materials, and minimizing the "personalized" characteristics, the resulting magic card will most likely be a common magic card that can be used by everyone.

　However, Dark was still somewhat unwilling and added 1 point of "Lunar Elysium" to the final alchemy.

　1 o'clock, it really is only 1 o'clock!

　One point of "Lunar Elysium" is equivalent to one point of "Dark Elysium", and it separates the relationship with Dark as much as possible.

　But this is still a very big gamble.

　He was quite satisfied with the final product.

　……

　After carefully storing the final, completed item card, Dark finally felt completely relieved.

　Everything is ready; all that's left is to wait for Christmas and the Christmas ball!

　Before that, he still had a little time to continue his research and experiments on the "golem".

　With the holiday season already booked after Christmas, the research on the "golem" needs to be expedited.

　……

　So on the evening of February 22nd, Dark Dimon, with Meowth, began further experiments on the creation of Magnemite.

　Magnemite is a gray magnetic Pokémon.

　Its main body is a metal sphere with a huge eye in the center, a large screw on its head, two small screws on the front of its body, and a horseshoe magnet on each side of its body.

　The two horseshoe magnets have opposite magnetic poles.

　Magnemite can use its left and right parts to emit electromagnetic waves to shield itself from gravity, thus levitating in the air. It is an Electric/Steel type Pokémon.

　Most importantly, it looks like a miniature mechanical golem!

　Dark had previously used the "Bronze Eye" as a core to create the shell of the "Magnemite".

　Later, while he was slacking off... busy, "Meow" successfully overcame the problem of making "Magnemite" by installing huge horseshoe-shaped magnets on both sides of its body, which made it release electromagnetic waves under the drive of the "core".

　Once you reach this point, creating the golems becomes much easier.

　If we're lucky, we might be able to create a "Magneto" golem that can generate electricity by tomorrow night.

　……

　"Dong dong dong."

　When the knocking sounded, Dark was chewing on a screw, studying the magic circuit inside the "Magneto".

　He didn't have time to open the door, so the seemingly unconcerned "fairytale animal? little rabbit" strolled to the door like a circus clown, stepping on the vertically placed "tree stump," and opened the door.

　The cold wind blowing in through the crack in the door made the little rabbit squint, and then it was immediately picked up and held in the arms of the person who came to visit.

　The "fairytale animal? Little rabbit" struggled with its short legs, but the immense force applied to it rendered it powerless.

　Diana waited until Rose came in before closing the door behind her. She then walked over to Dark, holding the little rabbit, and asked curiously, "Are you making a golem?"

　"Hmm," Dark replied without looking up.

　Diana rolled her eyes and said, "There's a baby protection operation tonight, aren't you going to check it out?"

　"Hmm?" Darke stopped what he was doing and asked curiously, "Tonight?"

　“Yes, tonight!” Diana said with a grin, her big eyes narrowing into crescents.

　Dak was quite surprised.

　He hasn't actually been in much contact with anyone these past two days, so he doesn't know.

　He had originally thought that this year's baby protection operation would be held on Friday night—the night of the vet audition—so he was a little disappointed when he had free time, having missed such a fun event.

　If Diana and Rose hadn't come to inform him, he might have completely forgotten about the event!

　"I have to go!"

　The thought suddenly flashed through Dak's mind.

　Although he really wanted to join in the fun and get some juicy gossip, he actually had a perfectly legitimate reason for doing so.

　The so-called "Protecting the Young" campaign is ostensibly a protective activity organized to prevent younger students from being overwhelmed by the romantic atmosphere of Christmas.

　Later, it changed slightly and became an activity that hindered dating.

　It seems that since a few years ago, the slogan of this "protecting the young" campaign has been "no love, no harm".

　However, after last year's "Protecting the Young" campaign, Dak already knows that "no love, no harm" is a slogan full of double standards.

　Older girls protect younger girls, preventing boys from easily approaching them. Yet, they also encourage the girls to bravely express their feelings to the boys they like.

　At first glance, this turned the "Protecting the Chicks" campaign into a "Women Picking Men" activity.

　In short, the first-grade boys and girls are the main characters on this stage.

　……

Chapter 735, please refresh later.

　Even disregarding his status as a "first-year math teaching assistant," Dak felt he needed to check out the common room.

　Of course, his main purpose was to visit his cousin, Joey.

　During her first year at the Noble House, Aurora and the two little princesses had nothing to worry about; it was only this cousin who caused them concern.

　But when he temporarily put down his experiment and went down to the common room with Diana and Rose, he found that even his worries were completely unnecessary.

　This year's "Protecting Chicks" campaign is completely different from last year's.

　"What's going on?"

　As soon as Dak stepped out of the stairwell, he blinked and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

　Diana playfully pushed him out of the stairwell, while Rose behind him wore a mischievous expression.

　These two had obviously gone down there and had some understanding of the situation.

　However, the "little chicks" who should have been protected have started their own separate groups, each occupying a side with the older girls and vying for their rights.

　And leading the way were naturally the two little princesses... Oh, and even Joey was sitting next to them. It was the first time Dark had seen the three of them together. All the first-year girls in the noble academy surrounded them, their imposing presence no less than that of the upperclassmen.

　As for the so-called upperclassmen... actually, apart from first-year students, everyone in this setting is considered an upperclassman.

　In other words, last year's first-grade boys have now become the wolves that the "Protecting the Young" operation needs to guard against.

　The chicks that were protected last year should now be the mother hens protecting their young.

　However, it seems that the chicks don't want to be protected by them.

　……

　Dark glanced around and then looked at the group of boys near the door.

　Duolong and his companions, who had already transformed into "wolves," were among them, feeling as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

　The first-grade boys seemed a little lost, unsure how to handle the situation.

　In previous years, the first-grade boys, though they didn't cause much trouble, at least had a sense of unity and wouldn't cause such a commotion.

　But this year's first-grade girls were too assertive, and the boys, who were already feeling overwhelmed by them, seemed even more useless at this time.

　The atmosphere in the common room was suffocatingly tense.

　Dark winked at Diana and Rose, then tried to slip past them and sneak into the group of second-year boys.

　He didn't see Aurora among the first-year girls. But it seemed unlikely that she would be involved in this kind of activity.

　"Hey, isn't that Dark?"

　However, just as he distanced himself from Diana and Rose, he suddenly heard Doron shout.

　The shout was particularly noticeable in the deathly silence, and almost everyone turned their heads sharply toward where he was.

　Doron nudged Pistan in the back and whispered, "Look, the solution to break the deadlock is here."

　But Pistan muttered, "This isn't a solution, it's a disaster..."

　No second-year student can forget the terrifying scene from last year's "Protecting the Young Ones" operation, where almost all the girls invited Dark to the prom.

　This year's second-grade girls are no longer as "naive" as they were last year. But if Dak were there, they would more or less compare the inviter to Dak when accepting the ball invitation.

　By comparing them in this way, all sorts of miscellaneous things become apparent, don't they?

　What was barely acceptable before can suddenly become unacceptable.

　And what was originally good will become less good.

　To put it bluntly, it will raise their standards. This is not a good thing for most guys.

　The second-year boys of the academy had few partners at last year's Christmas ball, and they had been determined to redeem themselves. Now, wouldn't that make things even more difficult?

　Pistan inwardly grumbled, his face showing a bitter expression.

　He knew that Doron already had someone in mind and wasn't planning to look for a dance partner among the second-year students of the Noble Academy this year.

　He also knew that Doron had secretly sent an invitation to the prefect of the Magic Academy and was waiting for a reply day and night.

　But Duolong has someone he loves, while he doesn't!

　The chubby boy also wants a dance partner!

　……

　But since Doron had already spoken, Pistan couldn't change reality no matter how much he wanted to complain, so he had no choice but to shamelessly beckon Dark over.

　Dark, however, was already used to being the center of attention. He walked steadily and arrived at the group of second-year students as usual, sitting at a table with Doron, Pistan, and others.

　"What's going on?" Dark asked with great interest as soon as he sat down.

　This year, Duolong is like a little teddy bear that has escaped the three realms and is not subject to the five elements. Being outside of them, he is not bothered and is just as enthusiastic as Dak.

　He immediately leaned in and whispered, "It's going to be tough! They thought that once they became second-years, they could target the female freshmen like the second-year seniors did last year... But you saw it too... Pfft..."

　Dark glanced at the two little princesses glaring at him and Joey, who was hiding behind them voting, and couldn't help but laugh, "So what should we do?"

　At the end of this semester, I don't know if the professors reached some kind of consensus, but all grades except sixth grade were overwhelmed with heavy coursework.

　Despite the little mage's best efforts to find time in the gaps, he still couldn't accomplish anything before the holiday.
