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

　Dak quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

　He was so close to mastering the "Credit Disappearance Technique"!

　The three-dimensional attribute distribution of "Drill Mole Beast" is barely acceptable.

　Its large size gives it high magic power, which is 100 points higher than the top value of 2500. Although its attack is not high, it still has 2000 points. Although its defense is not as good as "Garurumon", it is still quite tough.

　In short, it is not feasible to expect it to shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting the enemy.

　Dark looked at the "Drill Mole Beast's" three ultimate attacks with a calm mind.

　The first ultimate move... is "digging"!

　[Digging: The Drill Mole Beast can dig burrows at incredible speeds and dive underground. While dodging some attacks, it can also charge up underground, unleashing a thunderous strike once it emerges!]

　Although this special move looks like it was taken directly from the Pokémon move list, it is indeed very useful.

　Furthermore, the addition of a special move means that the "digging" ability is also enhanced at the same time, which is very beneficial for completing the "escape if you can't win" technique.

　Moreover, the "digging" attack after charging up also has considerable power.

　With that in mind, Dark continued to look at the second ultimate move.

　[Drill Spin: The Drill Mole Beast spins the drill bit on its nose at high speed, easily breaking through the target's defenses and launching an attack.]

　"A finishing move with an 'armor-piercing' effect!"

　The so-called "armor penetration" means breaking through the opponent's armor, which can weaken the opponent's defense to a certain extent.

　In short, although the name "Drill Spin" is not very catchy, it is a very practical and deadly technique.

　Dark smiled and continued to look at the final ultimate move—"Bone Crushing"!

　When he looked at its detailed description, he didn't realize that this was the core finishing move of the "Drill Mole Beast".

　[Smash Bones: Drill Molemon can always find all sorts of bones underground. Throwing these bones will cause varying degrees of damage and special effects depending on their quality and type. The damage is doubled when throwing Garurumon's bones.]

　Putting aside why Drill Molemon has a particular fondness for Garurumon's bones.

　The ability to collect various bones from the ground is clearly similar to "Meow Meow's" "Treasure Gathering Skill".

　Even if it can't create treasures out of thin air like the "Treasure Gathering Technique," St. Marian Academy is vast and rich in resources, especially in the dense forest beneath, where all sorts of bones must be buried.

　If you take Gabumon for a stroll near the dense forest every day, you might be able to collect a lot of useful materials.

　"Hey, thinking about it this way, I guess I'll be able to enjoy the good life of walking my dog ​​whenever I want in the future."

　But then Dark started thinking about whether he could have the "Magic Secretary" walk the dog for him...

　After completing his observation and recording of the "Drill Mole Beast," Dak glanced in the direction of the dense forest and couldn't help but feel restless.

　"Why don't we give it a try now?"

　Just try it.

　Dark turned around, looked at the clumsy-looking "Drill Mole Beast", and temporarily put it back into the "Magic Card". Then he activated the "Flight Spell" and flew alone into the dense forest.

　Okay, Diana, Rose, and a bunch of magical elves that could fly, ride, and sit all followed along.

　Due to time constraints, Dak did not say much.

　As dusk fell, the dense forest was shrouded in darkness, exuding a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.

　However, he did not venture deep into the dense forest, but only descended outside of it to resummon the "Drill Mole Beast".

　However, at this point, the "Drill Mole Beast" is already a five-star magical spirit, requiring a sacrifice to be offered for its summoning.

　This took him a few extra seconds.

　As soon as the "Drill Mole Beast" landed, it was like a dog that had smelled meat; the drill on its nose suddenly started spinning at high speed.

　Then it lowered its head and used "digging," burrowing into the ground as if leaping into water, looking extremely thirsty.

　Ultimately, it is driven by greed.

　"There are about ten minutes left. I wonder if we'll be able to dig up anything good?"

　Dak took out his pocket watch and estimated the time.

　But less than two minutes later, the "Drill Mole Beast" poked its head out of the hole it had drilled and started spitting things out with a "slurp slurp" sound.

　The pile of things quickly formed a small mountain on the ground, and at first glance... it was all garbage!

　Gravel, mud, earthworms, insects, broken shoes... and a pile of odds and ends that somehow appeared underground, all emitting a putrid stench.

　"Woo!"

　Dark frowned abruptly, his opinion of the "Drill Mole Beast" plummeting.

　But the "Drill Mole Beast" was completely unaware of this, and instead shook its head excitedly.

　And without waiting for Dak's instructions, it twisted its body and burrowed back into the ground.

　Clearly, for it, the underground world is a huge treasure trove.

　Exploring underground is like rolling around on a mountain of gold coins.

　It is the treasure in its eyes that is a little bit eccentric.

　However, this is like fishing; until the fish takes the bait, no one knows whether it's a Magikarp or a Dratini. So Dark maintained a minimum level of trust in that special move and moved to another spot to wait.

　But this time, the "Drill Mole Beast" disappeared underground for an especially long time.

　Just as Dark was beginning to worry that it wouldn't return in time and would be trapped underground, the "Drill Mole Beast" finally emerged again.

　It nimbly swung its large head, and after finding Dak's figure, its eyes lit up, and it burrowed into the ground again.

　When it reappeared, it was less than two meters away from Dak.

　Then, it suddenly opened its mouth and spat out something with a "whoosh".

　Dark quickly stepped back, determined to have "Magic Secretary" walk the dog for him.

　In order to identify the treasures, let "Meow Meow" accompany you!

　"Paji!"

　Suddenly, a bone as thick as an arm was forcefully spat out by the "Drill Mole Beast" and slid down from the garbage hill.

　Dark's eyes lit up, but he was stopped by the unknown mucus on the bone just as he was about to examine it.

　He quickly summoned "Ball Ball Sea Lion" and ordered it to spray water to rinse him off.

　Once the bones were washed away, "Drill Molemon" had regressed back to "Gabumon".

　So, under Dark's slightly strange gaze, the "Gabumon," which should be a reptile rather than a canine, happily ran towards the big bone, looking like it was about to lie down and lick it.

　Dark quickly released his magic, condensing it into a hand, and grabbed the large bone.

　"Meow Meow, what do you think?"

　"Meow--"

　"Meow Meow" shook its head, looking serious: So-so.

　Dark didn't believe it, so he opened the "Eye of Truth".

　At that glance, he immediately saw a double image on the large bone.

　Although it's unclear what ability caused this double image, the bones that remained buried underground for so long and still possessed special effects were clearly no ordinary objects.

　He looked at Miaomiao with a suspicious expression.

　"Meow Meow" kept a straight face, indicating that anything not picked up by this cat was just ordinary.

　……

　Adhering to the concept of environmental protection, Dark commanded the magical elves to stuff all the garbage dug out by the "Drill Mole Beast" back into the hole, and then fill it with soil before using the "Flying Spell" to return to the tower.

　Although St. Marian Academy officially forbids high-altitude flight, he is a professor!

　Don't you see Professor Mytia flying around in a pumpkin carriage every day?

　So becoming a professor is good.

　Dak placed the large bone, which he had scrubbed clean again, against the wall, intending to cook it when he had time.

　Of course, he doesn't have time now; he has to start the fourth round of evolution experiments next.

　The card used this time is "Gluttony II".

　Under the effect of "Gluttony II", "Gabumon" was promoted from two stars to three stars once again, but there were no other changes.

　However, having learned from his experience with "Drill Molemon", he knew that "Gluttony III" could still give him a new evolutionary form, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

　Fifteen minutes later, after Gabumon regressed from three stars to two stars, he continued with the fifth round of evolution experiments.

　The card I'm using this time is "Rage II"!

　"In the name of Dark Demon, a magical summoning—'Rage II'!"

　Bathed in a deep red light, black energy gradually seeped out of Gabumon's body. It opened its bloody mouth, its expression became ferocious, and its eyes filled with rage.

　"Roar!"

　Gabumon suddenly tilted its head back, and the "Rage" emblem on its forehead shone brightly, absorbing all the red light. Then, a dazzling light of evolution burst forth from its body.

　Gabumon → Transfer Evolution → Black Gabumon!

　Its yellow skin turned grayish-white, its pointed horns turned jet black, and its fur became the fur of "BlackGarurumon," with grayish-white stripes growing on its black fur.

　Agumon used Elysium II to evolve into BlackAgumon.

　"Gabumon" evolved into "BlackGabumon" using "Rage II".

　BlackGabumon's personality has become noticeably more ferocious. However, it is said that if you tear off the fur of BlackGarurumon from its body, it will immediately reveal a shy side just like Gabumon.

　Dak was itching to get closer, with a strong urge to peel back the layers and see what it really was.

　—Perhaps hidden beneath the fur of "BlackGarurumon" is a "BlackAgumon"!

　"Now that we finally have 'BlackGabumon,' 'Omegamon Zwart' seems to be within our grasp."

　Dark looked down at the magic card, infusing it with magic to get feedback.

　Card Name: Black Gabumon

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Reptile]

　[Attribute: Fire/Dark]

　【Magic Power: 1100】

　[Attack: 1300]

　[Defense: 1300]

　[Special Attacks: Blazing Fireball, BlackGarurumon's Will]

　Aside from the addition of a "Dark" attribute and the change of "Garurumon's Will" to "BlackGarurumon's Will", "BlackGabumon" and "Gabumon" have almost identical stats.

　[BlackGarurumon's Will: The remaining fur of Garurumon contains BlackGarurumon's will. BlackGabumon, inheriting BlackGarurumon's will, will become berserk, irritable, and extremely aggressive. Attack +500, Defense +100.]

　"Compared to 'Garurumon's Legacy,' 'BlackGarurumon's Legacy' focuses more on increasing attack and reduces defense boost."

　……

　The entire evolution experiment concerning "Gabumon" has come to a temporary end here.

　After completing all the records, Dak immediately began preparing his lessons.

　As for Gabumon, it was naturally handed over to Agumon, with whom it had a "bond of friendship".

　Fortunately, the first-grade math curriculum is not difficult at all.

　It was only 7:30 p.m. when Dak had already prepared all the materials he needed for the week. He slung his backpack over his shoulder—well, it was time to buy a briefcase—and headed toward Professor Melno's office.

　Although Professor Melno is semi-retired, he still studies advanced mathematics in his office, and it is quite convenient for Dak to find him after he got the "Professor Card".

　The two discussed the teaching process for the semester and then said goodnight to each other.

　But just as Dak was about to leave, Professor Melno tossed him a key.

　So Professor Dimon got his own office.
