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

　Just as Dark was about to leave, Professor Kazel suddenly spoke.

　Dark's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Cecilia Doyle (who appears in Chapter 555) is a top student in her first year of the Magic Academy. I don't know much about her grades in other subjects. But in mathematics, she is first in the Magic Academy."

　“I remember that surname,” Professor Cazell pondered. “There was an old guy in Sainz with that surname.”

　Sainz, the city of knowledge, is a place that produces many wise men.

　Dark said, somewhat speechless, "So, which sage's disciple is it this time?"

　Professor Kazel shrugged and said, "The disciples of the sages will naturally be assigned to the Magic Academy. And after the war, those old guys seem to have become keen on training successors."

　Dak patted his head, looking somewhat troubled.

　Of those he knew who were related to the sages, there were:

　Sara Swati, daughter of the Ancient Sage.

　Emma Metis, a disciple of the Sage of Mystery.

　Winnie Skadi, a descendant of the Sage of Winter.

　Now there is another successor to an unknown sage, Cecilia Doyle.

　Add to that those lesser-known disciples, those who deliberately conceal their talents, or those simply unknown to him, and the number could easily exceed ten.

　Although it's currently unknown which sage Cecilia Doyle is the successor of, since she is a successor of a sage...

　She should not be underestimated; even if she possesses the secret method to identify deities, it is not impossible for her to do so.

　“There’s no need to worry about that. She’s probably not after the Goddess of Wisdom,” Professor Kazel said. She had gone to Ergani to ask her mathematical questions.

　Dark thought for a moment and said, "If the reason for going to her is simply because she's a teaching assistant, then there's no need to stop her. By the way, Professor, do you know what apostles of God are?"

　Dark knew something about the "Apostles" because of the vivid dream he had at the Temple of the Sun and Moon.

　The reason I suddenly remembered it was because of Cecilia Doyle's appearance.

　Professor Cazell listened to him and began to ponder: "The apostles of God, conceptually, belong to God..."

　Human agents. They are favored by the gods and can borrow their power to exercise authority on their behalf, ruling the divine kingdom for the gods.

　Dark said, "In other words, they are the retinue of the gods."

　“That’s right,” Professor Kazel stated bluntly. “In fact, we want to borrow the power of the God of Wisdom.”

　The most straightforward way to protect the academy is to make St. Marian Academy her divine kingdom. But that's contingent on her obeying us to a certain extent and possessing the ability to protect us in times of chaos.

　Dark thought of Ergani's authority and said, "According to the professor's method of division, Ergani should at least..."

　She is a first-level god; "Goddess of Wisdom" is just one of her divine names. She also controls the genealogy beyond "Wisdom."

　Professor Cazell nodded and said, "That's certain. But how exactly to do it still needs further development. And there's no rush."

　“Indeed, we can’t rush it,” Dark sighed. “Fortunately, she is the Goddess of Wisdom. Even if we leave her alone, she will grow at an astounding pace. Now it all depends on the speed of the Gods’ Resurrection. Professor, the other factions!”

　Is there any progress?

　Professor Kazel shook his head: "You'll have to ask Sylph about that. I haven't specifically followed this matter, but since even the headmaster has taken action, other forces, especially the Holy Church, must already have plans. Who knows..."

　It is said that the Holy Church already had its own God.

　Dark smiled and said, "This looks more like—an arms race."

　“That’s right,” Professor Cazell chuckled, “and everyone’s hidden their armaments in unseen black boxes.”

　Only by opening them simultaneously can we determine whose military is stronger. We also cannot place all our bets on one.

　Inside the black box. Now, that [oil snake] is the second black box. If Principal Art's journey yields results, perhaps a third or fourth black box can be obtained.

　Dak touched his nose and chuckled: "There's a black box standing here too."

　After leaving Professor Kazel's office carrying the Fire-Source Chicken Golem, Dark didn't go anywhere else; he first...

　I took my things back to the dorm and put them away, then started to consider my next steps.

　With the Fire-Source Chicken Golem, the initial goal of creating a Torchic Golem no longer requires much else in a magecrafting process.

　Material 1 - Besides the Fruit of Pride!

　When the [Flame Lion Beast] was forged yesterday, 7 out of the original 10 points of [Arrogance] were used, leaving only 3 points.

　It is not enough to cultivate a new Fruit of Pride.

　But today is only the eighth day of January, and there are still three chances to draw [Great Sin].

　If I use all my attempts tonight and tomorrow night to draw [Arrogance], I can make up 7 points.

　However, this means that the creation of the Torchic will have to be done on Friday morning.

　Wednesday and Thursday afternoons are free.

　In order to continue his progress in the Golden Cup, he needs to make some preparations.

　Even if this opponent isn't an elite among the sixth graders, they are still a sixth grader after all.

　Older students naturally have more opportunities to acquire knowledge and higher-level materials, even sixth graders.

　Even for average students, the results won't be too bad.

　To date, the highest-grade student Dark has defeated in magical duels is a fifth-grade student, specifically a fifth-grade student.

　Fern Morse of the House of Fools and Angus Jeffrey of the House of Nobles.

　Although it was only the first semester of fifth grade at the time, neither of the two people he had dueled with were easy opponents.

　Fern Morse's trump card in that duel was the eight-star named vampire, [Vampire Elite], who was also equipped with the [Devil's Mystic Code] at the time.

　Angus Jeffrey's trump card is the nine-star Demon King Amster, which is comparable to...

　The ultimate ace of the fourth-tier magical elves in the US -

　Once Angus Jeffrey successfully summoned [Demon King Amster], he would be among the sixth-year students.

　Few people can handle it.

　Dark was able to defeat it thanks to its fellow nine-star Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragons!

　Therefore, based solely on the deck's potential, he actually possesses the strength to defeat a sixth-year student.

　Level.

　But what if you can't unleash your full potential?

　This requires focusing on the composition of the deck.

　In addition, it is necessary to have a general understanding of the sixth-grade student in order to devise targeted tactics.

　By sixth grade, students have mastered a very comprehensive range of knowledge; they should be able to apply everything taught in school with ease.

　However, he may not necessarily be able to refine a nine-star magical spirit.

　As for ten stars or even higher, that's even more impossible.

　Even Pandora Dragon, known as the "Silver Dragon Girl," was merely a ten-star magical spirit.

　Just a trump card.

　Basically, a nine-star magical spirit is the limit that a student can achieve.

　Eight-star magical spirits are the main force in sixth grade.

　As for those students who can cultivate eight-star or even nine-star magical spirits at a lower grade, they are what is known as "..."

　Geniuses are always an exception.

　It's just that in some eras, there are a few too many geniuses.

　Leveraging his professorship, Dark easily obtained the key to his rival, James Gardson.

　This document.

　James Gardson, male, Knights College, sixth year.

　Although she was just over eighteen, she looked extremely mature, appearing to be thirty-eight at first glance.

　He received a "good" rating in his fifth-grade final exams, which means his average score should be above 80.

　St. Mary's College uses only four grades for final exams: Fail, Pass, Good, and Excellent.

　Show.

　The passing score between failing and passing is sixty, then eighty and ninety.

　James Gardson's dueling grades were mediocre, but his Potions skills were a plus.

　He didn't go out for practical experience like the other sixth graders because his main research topic was herb cultivation.

　His work is related to cultivation, and he owns a medicinal herb field within his community. He needs to tend to the field and observe rare medicinal herbs.

　The growth of grass is used to complete one's graduation practice and thesis.

　So, out of boredom, he participated in the Golden Cup.

　However, he was inconsistent in his participation, often taking leave and not attending.

　Moreover, his win rate in the Gold Cup points tournament is quite average, basically 50/50.

　Therefore, it is clear that he is definitely not a strong student among the sixth graders.

　Just as Dark initially worried, his deck strength is likely inferior to Angus Jeffrey's.

　However, a duelist's potential is not determined solely by the strength of their deck.

　Given Gardson's expertise in various disciplines, his mastery of [Potion Cards] is perhaps terrifying.

　Its mastery of attributes should primarily be Grass and Poison types.

　In other words, Miltank, with its [Herbivore] ultimate move, might be his nemesis.

　Darko Dimon stopped there, and left the archives after reading this far.

　He is now extremely famous at St. Marian Academy, and with "Principal Arte" at the opening ceremony...

　The ceremony announced his official appointment as a professor, meaning the upperclassmen could no longer treat him as a junior.

　Even the upperclassmen who were originally too embarrassed to duel with him no longer had any reservations.

　After all, they were dealing with a professor.

　Even though professors at St. Marian Academy hold administrative positions, any archmage is synonymous with "powerful."

　词。

　The school rules even include a detailed system for challenging professors, allowing students to win rare materials they need from those professors through duels.

　Of course, professors often find themselves giving lenient treatment to their favorite top students, which is also a common practice in academic circles.

　One of the sources of rare materials in the hands of the raw materials.

　However, those who challenge professors are usually fifth or sixth graders.

　When Dak first saw this school rule, he did consider challenging the professors someday, but now...

　After that, I no longer had that thought at all.

　It wasn't until he became a full professor that he happened to remember that school rule.

　"The types that are effective against Grass are Flying, Poison, Bug, Fire, and Ice."

　"Ground and Psychic types are effective against Poison-type Poison."

　"Grass-type is weak against Ground, Rock, and Water types."

　"The Grass and Fairy types are weak to Poison."

　"In addition, Steel-type Magical Spirits have a strong immunity to common Poison-type special moves."

　"To be honest, this is the first time I've faced an opponent who specializes in poison. Magisters who specialize in poison are indeed rare."

　On his way back to the dormitory, Dak pondered carefully and decided to set aside some time to simulate building once he got back.

　Deck.

　Currently, focusing on fire-type magical spirits seems to be a good approach.

　The [Flame Lion Beast] he just created is a very useful core element.

　Magical spirits with purification abilities are also quite necessary.
