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

　However, the difficulty with this path lies in the fact that "Thunder Beast Eyes" that can mutate to have steel attributes are not easy to find.

　Therefore, let alone making two more Magnemite, it would be extremely difficult to even make one more Magnemite.

　"I'll go to Traveler's Street again tomorrow. If I still can't find a Steel-type mutated 'Thunder Beast Eyeball,' then I'll have to try to exchange it for a core that's not so rare."

　Dark shook his head and prepared to strike while the iron was hot, starting with upgrading the internal circuitry!

　However, just as he was about to take action, the demon that corrupts a man's will arrived.

　……

　The last night before the Christmas ball.

　Still unable to hand over her "ball invitation," Aurora returned with freshly made turtle soup.

　After drinking a bowl of turtle soup, Dak couldn't help but think of garlic turtle... oh, it's garlic turtle.

　He has always harbored a secret desire to create the original three starter Pokémon—Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle—as well as the fourth starter—Pikachu, but unfortunately, he has not been able to fulfill his dream so far.

　After calming down, Dak chatted with Aurora about the Free City again. As they talked, Aurora was seen out the door again.

　Aurora, carrying an empty plate back to her dorm, looked at the "ball invitation" in her hand with a blank expression.

　……

　Meanwhile, Dark Deacon has already begun his grand project of upgrading "Magneto".

　His upgrade was finally successful that evening!

　[Refreshing later]

Chapter 739 Seeking Monthly Tickets: A Christmas Prelude

　The original concept of an electromagnetic railgun was a weapon that uses the Ampere force generated by the electromagnetic field in an electromagnetic system to accelerate and fire a metal projectile.

　However, Magnemite's signature move, the "Electromagnetic Cannon," is not like that.

　[Electromagnetic Cannon: Magnemite gathers electricity and fires a cannon-like current to attack, paralyzing the target.]

　Simply put, Magnemite's "Electromagnetic Cannon" is just an electric magic cannon. But its power is enormous, far exceeding "Electrocution," and it can paralyze the target with 100% certainty—unless the target has the corresponding immunity.

　Magnemite's "Electromagnetic Cannon" is basically a magic-based burst attack.

　The electromagnetic cannon, in its original concept, deals physical damage.

　But since Magnemite has the foundation to control powerful electrical discharges and also possesses strong analytical abilities, it will eventually be able to master a real electromagnetic cannon!

　At 2 a.m., Dak was still in high spirits.

　He infused magic into "Curse: Magnemite" and examined it closely.

　Card Name: Magnemite

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Machine]

　[Attribute: Electric/Steel]

　【Magic Power: 1100】

　[Attack: 1400]

　[Defense: 500]

　[Special Moves: Analysis, Electric Discharge, Electromagnetic Cannon]

　"Magic power increased by 100, attack power increased by 200, and a new ultimate skill has been added—'Electromagnetic Cannon'."

　"But the defense has been reduced by 100."

　"I remember Magnemite's 'Electromagnetic Cannon' only has a 50% accuracy rate. If you want to specialize in enhancing the 'Electromagnetic Cannon,' you'll probably need to add a 'lock-on' function."

　"However, if we want to develop and master a true electromagnetic gun, we need to work on 'electromagnetic waves'."

　"..." Due to the late hour, Dark abandoned the idea of ​​immediately testing the "electromagnetic gun".

　He picked up a pen and wrote down his thoughts one by one, preparing to implement them when he had free time.

　For a researcher with many ideas, time is indeed the greatest enemy.

　……

　After washing up and getting into bed, Dark held the "Magneto" and looked it over from all angles.

　The Magnemite's big eyes moved with the position, but always kept staring into his eyes.

　"If you look again, I'll eat you up!"

　—Dak couldn't help but think of this advertising slogan.

　Then he freed his hand and scratched the Magnemite's chin.

　Despite the hard and cold surface to the touch, the "Magnemite" was extremely sensitive, squinting its big eyes into crescent moons. The horseshoe magnet that wasn't being held spun back and forth, making a "chirp chirp chirp" sound.

　After playing with it for a while, weariness washed over me.

　Dark placed the "Magneto" on the bedside table and then huddled under the covers.

　Winter is cold, but fortunately there is always someone at home to warm his bed, and he feels warm every time he enters.

　"mum--"

　……

　Lying on the headboard, "Magneto" looked at the gradually familiar ceiling and slowly closed its eyes.

　Golems don't have the problem of lifespan, but they can also go into hibernation due to insufficient magic power, so they need to "eat".

　Generally speaking, golems feed on various magically rich minerals. However, different golems have different diets, and eating indiscriminately can cause irreparable damage to a golem's body.

　Higher-level golems can usually absorb elements floating in the air on their own. However, the absorption rate is generally very slow, requiring various magic arrays and resources. Otherwise, they generally need a long dormant period to recover their magic power.

　Some more special golems are able to absorb specific substances and convert them into magic power.

　Although Dark has not yet tested the "Magnemite" in this regard, he is fairly certain that it can "charge".

　Creating a generator is not difficult with current magical technology. However, this technological path has not been developed, and even some mages skilled in using electricity mostly use "bio-powered generation".

　They would keep electric-type magical beasts in captivity to generate electricity.

　"Bio-powered electricity" is the current main theme of technology.

　Therefore, the right choice in line with the times is to pair "Magnemite" with a magical beast that can generate electricity... or a fantastic animal!

　The thought of magical creatures suddenly made Dark realize that it had been a very, very long time since he had ventured into the Mystic Realms to search for them.

　However, the number of strange creatures within the club has been gradually increasing.

　In short, plans often can't keep up with changes, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

　……

　December 24th.

　As temperatures plummeted, ice crystals hung from the eaves of the castle, and thin sheets of ice condensed on the lake, reflecting the soft light of the rising sun and emitting a faint orange hue.

　Students, dressed in winter clothes early, walked out of the castle and strolled along the lake, each with a hint of anticipation on their face.

　At 6:30 a.m., Dak had already opened his eyes and gotten up, full of energy.

　Although I didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning last night, I slept very soundly for the first time. Just four hours of sleep felt like eight hours of normal sleep. I didn't experience any eye strain at all; on the contrary, I felt completely refreshed.

　Wearing his plush pajamas, he walked onto the balcony, slightly opened the window, and felt the cool breeze blowing in. He couldn't help but squint and look out the window.

　Despite its steel body, Magnemite remained unaffected by the cold wind, floating on his right shoulder and spinning its magnet.

　Eevee, Espeon, and Ditto transformed into Espeon, their sleepy eyes opening and closing, clustered around his feet.

　A look of good times.

　"time flies."

　Dak glanced around, sighing inwardly.

　"This is the second Christmas already."

　Another year is about to pass since the memory was suddenly restored on the stage of the Sorting Ceremony.

　As various unknown things are gradually unveiled before our eyes, the novelty of "first time here" gradually fades away.

　He became increasingly integrated into this world.

　……

　A small red dot came into view in the distance and then quickly approached.

　Wearing a red Santa hat and a beloved scarf, the little devil beast flapped its wings and flew over.

　When it got close, Dak pulled the window shut even faster, raised his hands, and caught the vegetable basket it had brought from the cafeteria.

　Day after day, the shopping basket went through several different styles. Although Dark had suggested using an insulated lunchbox, Little Devimon preferred the basket, so they just went along with it.

　Dark has always eaten breakfast alone in his dormitory, while the magical elves are required to go to the cafeteria as much as possible, and this has now become a habit.

　He picked up his vegetable basket, turned around and went back inside. The little devil beast turned around and closed the window, and the cold wind disappeared and the chill quickly subsided.

　The Magnemite circled around the head of the Devimon once, then flew back to Dark's side.

　Among the magical spirits living in the dormitory, it has the best sense of affinity for the monosword sheath, feeling a natural closeness to it. However, the monosword sheath only wants to hang on Tailmon and completely ignores it, so it seems a bit lonely.

　However, after carefully observing the little devilmon, it discovered that the dark creature looked quite similar to itself—they both had only one round head, so it thought that perhaps it could also get along well with it.

　Of course, that was just in the realm of imagination; it was somewhat shy.

　Just then, Meow suddenly lunged forward with its claws, grabbed it, held it to its chest, and began rubbing its head against it.

　Although it didn't feel comfortable, Magnemite rubbed against Meowth's paw pads, showing a fawning expression.

　On the other side, several fuzzy rabbits surrounded the rabbit grass, all staring wide-eyed at the pink petals blooming on the top of the rabbit grass, sniffing and occasionally letting out a whiff of its fragrance, which was quite amusing.

　……

　Dak pulled a newspaper from the vegetable basket. The pages of the "Great Sage Daily" had turned into a festive bright red, and the headline was cut in half. One side was about the Grand Princess's unique Christmas lantern festival held in the capital, and the other side was about the Christmas Mass held by the Holy Church.

　"A Christmas lights festival?"

　Dak stretched out his fingers and rubbed the pictures of brightly lit streets in the newspaper, which reminded him of the Lantern Festival in his previous life, and a little melancholy arose in his heart.

　But this melancholy vanished completely when he opened the Daily Joker.

　But then I noticed that the Daily Joker had also changed its layout to bright red. What I saw was a clown in a bright red outfit, and the pages were still filled with all sorts of funny and amusing reports meant to make people laugh.

　In a good mood, he sat down after breakfast and quietly pondered what else might be lacking in preparation.

　Once everything was confirmed to be in place, I finally relaxed completely.

　He wanted to take a day off today.

　……

　But when it comes to holidays, he can't think of how to rest. At most, he would just relax on a deck chair on the balcony, reading a book and sipping tea, just like Claire.

　At 8:30, a sudden commotion broke out outside the castle, and some faint sounds drifted in.

　The curious little devilmon flew to the balcony, opened the window, and the rolling sound swept in.

　Dak then stood up and looked over as well.
