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

　Professor Kazel stated, “The ‘wisdom’ of the ‘god of wisdom’ is a general description of its authority, encompassing a multitude of things. The same ‘god of wisdom’ could wield the authority to increase the wisdom of golden monkeys, or the authority to increase the wisdom of all humankind. Therefore, the gods referred to are clearly two completely different deities in terms of divine rank. However…”

　He then changed the subject, adding, "Our 'God of Wisdom' is clearly of a high rank."

　The "God of Wisdom" who can restore the memories of the monsters in the dungeon and awaken their own consciousness cannot possibly be a god of the underworld!

　Otherwise, the college wouldn't have spent so many resources betting on her.

　The descriptions of the positions of deities in the available literature are very general and chaotic, lacking a systematic classification.

　Therefore, it is impossible to simply distinguish between their strengths and weaknesses.

　Even the gods with great power in legends and epics may be exaggerated or misrepresented.

　As for the "gods of wisdom," those with higher divine status that can be confirmed at present should include Athena, one of the twelve gods of Poropus (Mountain of the Gods) and the "goddess of war and wisdom"; Thoth, one of the chief gods of Heripus (Land of the Gods) and the "goddess of the moon and wisdom"; Prometheus, one of the Titan gods and the "god of fire and wisdom"... and so on.

　Among these many gods, the most famous "goddess of wisdom" who walks among humans in the form of a young girl is Athena, the "goddess of war and wisdom".

　In fact, when the body of this "god of wisdom" was fully regenerated, most of the professors thought of the most famous virgin goddess.

　However, Athena's status was too high, so this idea only flashed through my mind.

　No one felt they could control one of the twelve gods.

　Even Professor Cazell felt the same way.

　……

　"Now that the ceremony is complete, let's restore the secret passage to its original state."

　Professor Sylph glanced around and then spoke.

　The professors nodded in agreement and began to pack up.

　The colossal bronze palace beneath their feet had withstood the baptism of lightning. Though its exterior was severely damaged, its internal energy remained condensed. If extracted, it would undoubtedly become excellent materials for steel and electricity-based materials.

　Although those bronze braziers played a crucial role in this consciousness event, they did not actually suffer much damage and could be reused.

　Although St. Mary's College is large and wealthy, it cannot be too extravagant and wasteful; it should still be frugal when necessary.

　After the professors dispersed, only Dark, Kazel, and Ori remained on the bronze palace.

　After careful observation, Professor Kazel waved his wand to outline the magic circle. Then, he lightly touched the circle with the tip of his wand, and the magic power transformed by the circle flowed into the body of the "God of Wisdom".

　Stimulated, the "God of Wisdom" gradually shrank until it was the size of a human.

　And things that were previously overlooked because of her large size suddenly came into view.

　"cough!"

　Dark coughed lightly, then took out a "Ditto" card from his card pack, summoned it, and then commanded it to wrap around the "God of Wisdom," transforming it into a white dress that covered the body.

　Professor Cazell, however, paid no attention to any of this.

　After shrinking the "God of Wisdom," he rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.

　Dak stood aside, continuing to observe the "God of Wisdom," without uttering a sound.

　About half an hour later, the professors had collected all the ritual items left in the secret passage and gathered them back on the bronze hall.

　Professor Kazel then said, "While all seven of us are here, let's try the 'Seven Souls Locking Spell'."

　Dark asked briefly, "What is the 'Seven Souls Locking Spell'?"

　Professor Kazel explained, “It’s a sealing spell cast jointly by seven people. The sealing pact has already been implanted within the ‘God of Wisdom’ during the ritual. Focus, I will transmit the incantation to you.”

　A thought struck Dak, and he immediately focused his attention, listening intently to the incantation.

　A few minutes later, he finally memorized the incantation completely and nodded to Professor Kazel.

　Professor Kazel then explained, "The 'Seven Souls Locking Spell' is a sealing spell created by ancient magicians to seal gods. However, its recorded power is not as great as imagined. It has many limitations, extremely strict requirements for the caster, and ultimately can only seal some low-ranking gods. But when we reborn her, we planted the sealing pact within the 'God of Wisdom's' body, making the sealing pact a part of her body. Only in this way can we maximize the effect of the 'Seven Souls Locking Spell.' But whether it can truly seal her... in fact, I cannot be certain."

　Since there are no gods to experiment with, there's nothing that can be done about it.

　The "Seven Souls Locking Spell" is divided into seven parts. A single spell can have a certain control effect, and the more people cast it together, the stronger the effect.

　"let's start!"

　At Professor Kazel's command, the seven spellcasters present dispersed and chanted incantations simultaneously.

　Dark carefully sensed it and found that his bloodline and magic were being activated by the incantation. A mysterious feeling emerged as the incantation was chanted.

　He held the sword with two fingers, and suddenly pointed it out. A huge amount of magical power surged from between his fingers and poured into the body of the "God of Wisdom".

　Then, the magic line instantly transformed into a golden chain, its golden light like flames, burning fiercely.

　There were seven chains in total, which were used to bind the wrists, ankles, forehead, neck, and waist of the "God of Wisdom".

　As the seven chains were formed, more tiny chains sprouted from the seven locks that bound the seven parts, crawling like snakes all over the body of the "Goddess of Wisdom," locking her completely in place.

　"Okay."

　Professor Kazel explained it once, and then began testing the strength of the "Seven Souls Locking Spell".

　After a series of clanging sounds, he stopped, seemingly satisfied, and gestured for everyone to dispel the spell.

　"The strength is acceptable; hopefully, we won't ever need to use it."

　"Next, let's give her a name."

　……

　"Why do we need a name? Once Kazel figures out her identity, she'll have a name, won't she?" Lily asked curiously.

　Professor Sylph looked at her like a concerned mother and said, "Firstly, before we can figure it out, we need a code name for her; we can't keep calling her 'Goddess of Wisdom.' Secondly, even after we've figured it out, we'll need a pseudonym to cover it up. Her real name will make it easier for people to find out her background. Unless there's a necessary reason to reveal anything, it's best not to let any irrelevant people know about her existence."

　Lily nodded vigorously and said, "Hidden and unassuming, I get it!"

　Darkton had an epiphany.

　In its study of the gods, St. Marian Academy has chosen a two-pronged approach.

　The team led by Principal Arte is conducting research in Polopos, the "Mountain of the Gods," as the main investigation team.

　The team led by Vice Principal Professor Sylph is a covert operation, reserved as a trump card for crucial moments.

　With the communication lines exposed, it's difficult to keep them secret.

　The hidden clues are easy to keep secret.

　As to which line is more important, there is no conclusion yet. But currently, the progress of the hidden line should be far greater than that of the explicit line.

　"How about Aqua?" Dark held up a name.

　Lily asked curiously, "What is Aqua?"

　Dark: "The name of a god of banquets."

　Professor Sylph looked at him, then at "God of Wisdom," and shook her head, saying, "I feel this name is a bit too hasty. Isn't there a better one?"

　“Then…” Dark thought for a moment, then looked up and said, “Ergani?”

　Professor Sylph pondered, "What does Ergane mean?"

　Dark said, "A female worker. I hope that Miss 'Goddess of Wisdom' will become a diligent and hardworking woman after gaining consciousness."

　It seems that Athena in this world doesn't have the affectionate name "Ergane".

　he thought.

　……

　For the next ten minutes or so, the professors, showing no signs of being stumped, shared their opinions, listing one bizarre name after another, fully demonstrating their struggle with naming. In the end, Professor Medea made the final decision, choosing "Ergane" over "Aqua".

　After all, being a worker is honorable, while being mentally challenged is mentally challenged.

　……

　After finally settling on a name, Professor Kazel, who had been observing from the beginning, wiped his brow and said, "Erganie it is. While you're away, I'll try to inscribe circuits for simulated thinking into her body. That's enough for today."

　"Aren't we going to celebrate?" Professor Lily asked, blinking.

　Professor Cazell laughed and said, "No celebrations, time is of the essence."

　“Indeed.” Professor Sylph turned and said, “We’ll rest tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow morning, understand?”

　"Understood—" After a few responses, the group, having accomplished the greatest feat in hundreds of years, dispersed casually.

　There was no celebration, no announcement, as if they had simply done something as simple as eating and drinking.

　But the window has been opened, the shackles have been loosened, and the rolling wheels of time are about to crush us.

　Dak wanted to say a few words to Ollie, but before he could speak, Lily grabbed his wrist and he lost all weight.

　When his vision returned, he was already standing at the entrance of the Noble House tower.

　Feeling she had done a great thing, Lily put him down with her little nose pouting and said, "Merry Christmas, where's my present?"

　“I’ll give it to you tomorrow…” Dark said silently.

　"Okay!" Lily spun around in the air and then vanished like a fairy.

　Oh, she was a little devil all along.

　Dark sighed deeply, walked across the bridge with a worried expression, and was then stopped at the door by the Feathered Serpent Golem.

　Curfew time has arrived!

　……

　Perhaps because he was already a professor, or perhaps because they didn't want him to be so lonely on Christmas Eve, the feathered serpent golem eventually put him in the tower.

　He returned to his dormitory and immediately lay down on his bed. Several minutes later, he slowly stood up and, under the watchful gaze of the magical elf, took out the Christmas gift given to him by Senior Pandora.

　"I wonder if the senior has opened it yet?"

　Thinking this, he slowly untied the ribbon on the gift box, revealing a square box engraved with exquisite patterns.

　The box has a metal clasp, but it is not locked.

　He pried open the latch, lifted the lid, and was suddenly stunned.

　The Christmas present inside this box is also a magic card!

　"What could it be?"

　The higher the level of the magic card, the more personalized it becomes.

　But with Pandora's skill level, she could naturally refine high-level semi-finished magic cards.

　Therefore, there is still a possibility that this magic card is a high-level magic card.

　However, when he reached out and touched it, he realized he had misunderstood.

　The magical energy fluctuations of this magic card are not very strong; it should be considered a general-purpose card.

　Just like the magic card he gave to Pandora.

　The boys and girls seemed to have chosen the same type of gift without prior arrangement.

　A strange sense of joy suddenly welled up in Dak's heart.

　He wondered if his senior would feel the same way when she saw his gift... so he took out the magic card and infused it with magic.

　As magic flowed in, the black veil that had been deliberately covering the card surface receded like water, finally revealing the true image.

　Dark softly uttered the normal summoning spell, and the two little figures in the image slowly materialized in the smoke-like summoning circle. Melodious music gently began to play, and the little figures, dressed in gorgeous gowns, danced gracefully in the air, like elves.

　"It's a music box."

　Dak focused his gaze intently on the little figure dancing in the air.

　The two little figures, one with blond hair and blue eyes, and the other with black hair and red eyes, had very distinct physical characteristics.

　He looked at the stage backdrop that was moving and changing around the little figure and couldn't help but smile.

　At that moment, he suddenly felt that there was no better gift than this.

　……

　And inside the tower of the Magic Academy.

　Even though it was past 2 a.m., Pandora Drogon was still awake.

　She was wearing pajamas, curled up in bed, activating the Christmas gift from her adorable junior over and over again, her smile so bright it couldn't be hidden by the night.

　That is also a universal magic card.

　Music will play after activation.
