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

　Dark said, "Professor Bode is trustworthy; let's treat this task as a test for him, shall we?"

　"Holder Bode?" Sister Kallian frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Not everyone knows anything about him, and I personally think a test is necessary. Our entry requirements, especially for those at Sequence Three and above, cannot be too lenient."

　Everyone spoke up, and after a brief discussion, they quickly reached a consensus. Professor Sylph nodded and said, "Then it's settled. I'll have Professor Bode replace Professor Harvey, and this month will be his observation period. Once things have settled down, we'll meet again and make a final decision by vote. Is that alright?"

　"no problem."

　"Seconded." "+1." "+1."

　“Then,” Dark concluded, “Professor Harvey will be in charge of the fossils, and Sister Kallian and Ophelia will assist him.”

　Professor Sylph said, "Then next are the scabbard and the clothes." Dark said, "The scabbard and the clothes have one key point in common, and we need to find information to confirm them. Let Aurora and the others handle this."

　Professor Sylph looked over there.

　Aurora, Diana, and Rose were all slightly nervous, completely unprepared for Dark to suddenly mention them.

　But Professor Sylph quickly agreed, saying, "The origins of the patterns on the scabbard and the divine emblem on the clothes can indeed be left to the three of them to investigate. However, others can also check the library if they have time. The remaining issues are the blood and black contaminants on the scabbard, and the strands of hair in the clothes."

　Professor Cazell said, "The most crucial element here is the blood; we must be able to activate it before Easter ends. I'll take charge of that first. As for the black contaminant, we'll study that after Easter."

　Professor Sylph said, "And the hair?"

　Professor Cazell shook his head and said, "I can't sense the divinity in that strand of hair. It's difficult to deal with. To be honest, I have no clue."

　“In that case,” Professor Sylph said, “the rest of us can help Kazel prepare the ritual to activate the blood as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we can try to figure out what to do with that strand of hair. Also, we can continue to examine those three items; perhaps there are any key details we've overlooked.”

　Professor Cazell said, "Then let's do it this way. Time waits for no one. I'll devise a plan tonight, and we'll take action tomorrow."

　Darkseid pondered, "Then I'll take that scabbard back to my dorm to take a look." Professor Mitya frowned and said, "And could I see that outfit?"

　Professor Cazell pushed the clothes directly in front of Professor Mitia: "Of course."

　"What about me?" Professor Lily suddenly interjected.

　Professor Jones glanced at her and said, "You'll patrol the academy with me."

　Professor Sylph said, "Easter needs someone to be in charge."

　The division of labor among the group was clear.

　Professor Sylph needs to stay at the college to cover up the fact that Principal Arte has not returned.

　Meanwhile, Dak also had to take care of the exchange students—which was equally important. St. Marian Academy couldn't afford to be thrown into disarray by Principal Arte's disappearance. Especially at this moment, the Holy Church absolutely couldn't find out.

　In addition, Ergani will likely begin research on the black pollutant ahead of schedule.

　The conditions for using the "intelligent brain" are actually quite strict.

　She must be certain that she truly cannot find a solution before she can successfully use the "intelligent brain".

　Thinking about it this way, Athena, one of the twelve goddesses, may know too much, which is why she is unable to use her "brain of wisdom".

　So in the end, only Eve and Chris were left.

　Chris was not originally a member of the organization, while Eve needed to give a full report of today's events to Alvitt, Claire, and the others.

　Moreover, Easter is one of the busiest times for the branch. She also lacked the background to participate in the experiment.

　Therefore, after clarifying the division of labor once again, Darke, at Professor Sylph's prompting, announced the end of the meeting.

　Everyone present immediately used their own methods to quietly leave this secluded place.

　Dark also summoned the "Adventure Bird" and used the "Hidden Feather" to quietly leave with Aurora, Diana, and Rose.

　Once inside the castle, he deactivated the "Hidden Feather" barrier. Night had fallen, but Aurora, Diana, and Rose had a mission to complete, so they decided to search the library first, making the most of every second.

　Dark thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go ahead, I'll talk to the golem beforehand and make sure it doesn't stop you."

　“Okay.” Diana raised her hand and clenched her fist. “We will definitely complete the mission successfully!”

　Then the three girls took their notebooks, which contained the patterns on the sword sheaths and the emblems of the gods, and ran quickly toward the library.

　The moonlight slanted down, casting their shadows long, long across the ground.

　After watching them leave, Dak turned and walked toward the tower of the House of Nobles.

　He walked and pondered, feeling unsteady on his feet and unable to see the road ahead. Principal Arte's disappearance sounded like a wake-up call in his heart, reminding him once again that the world was not always smooth sailing.

　Tonight's meeting seems to have been quite productive; everyone was assigned their own tasks and was able to symbolically get busy.

　But what is the reality?

　Most importantly, there was absolutely no mention of Principal Arte's rescue plan.

　The professors at St. Mary's College generally share a common understanding.

　If even Principal Arte can't solve it, then no one else can either.

　Now that Principal Arte has suddenly disappeared, the professors, while not exactly running around like ants in a pot, have certainly lost a pillar of support.

　They most likely subconsciously believe that, given their own capabilities, going to provide rescue would be utterly pointless.

　Based on this subconscious motivation, they eventually focused all their attention on studying those three items.

　Then tell yourself: wait until you understand what Principal Arte is trying to convey before considering the rescue.

　While this isn't exactly escapism, it's not far off. If they had enough confidence, they should have started making preparations for the rescue efforts now.

　That being said.

　Dark himself felt something similar. He rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

　The three things that Principal Arte brought out will be key.

　However, focusing solely on these three items is absolutely insufficient.

　To provide aid, to enter the Mountain of the Gods, or even to reach the "Heavenly Court," they must possess equal strength as a foundation.

　Until all preparations are complete, all we can do is pray that Principal Arte can pull through on her own.

　So, how do we improve our basic skills?

　Professor Sylph, Professor Cazell, and others are already figures who have reached the pinnacle of their careers.

　They are unlikely to achieve a major breakthrough in the short term. Theoretically, they can only rely on foreign aid.

　As for the most powerful external aid, it can only be the "Valkyrie"—Alvita Saint Dimon, who is a saint like Principal Arte!

　Of course, Arvit can't really be considered a foreign player.

　However, at this critical juncture, it was absolutely impossible for Alvitt to escape from the capital.

　But if Alvitt cannot come, even if Claire, Ollie, and the others are all summoned, it will not bring about a decisive change.

　So, is there any other way?

　The answer is yes.

　Only God can stand against God.

　After Easter, there's one thing that absolutely must be put on the agenda.

　Unbeknownst to him, Dark had already reached the outside of the Noble House tower. Suddenly, the feathered serpent golem opened its eyes, the green light shooting from them towards the scabbard it held in its hand.

　To avoid attracting attention, he put the scabbard in a box.

　After a brief flash of green light, the feathered serpent golem closed its eyes again. Dark had initially thought it could see the special features of the scabbard, but now it couldn't help but feel disappointed.

　But he still gave the feathered serpent golem some detailed instructions, telling it not to lock Aurora, Diana, and Rose outside.

　The feathered serpent golem rolled its eyes once and then closed them again, looking like it couldn't be bothered to pay any attention.

　But Dark knew it must have known.

　So Dak walked to the door and pushed it open gently.

　In an instant, the heat from inside the tower rushed out, and there was a strange, unpleasant smell in the air.

　Dark frowned abruptly as he saw that the common room was in complete disarray. Several people were sprawled haphazardly on the sofas and chairs within sight. He glanced around and noticed that some were second-year male students from the academy, while others were unidentified upperclassmen.

　Apart from these few people, the common room was completely empty, with only a few tables and the surrounding floor littered with food, trash, and a broken cup.

　The cup had been knocked to the ground by someone, and the remaining liquid inside had smeared on the carpet, leaving a damp patch.

　Faintly, one could hear snores. These people had all fallen asleep.

　Dark had no interest in cleaning for them; he simply tiptoed through the common room and up the stairs to the upper floor.

　"Wait a moment!"

　Suddenly someone called out in a melodious voice.

　Dark instinctively turned around and saw one of the boys lying on the sofa raise his hand, then slowly slide off the sofa and onto the floor, face down.

　—He is a second-year male student from the Noble Academy.

　Dark frowned, suddenly having a bad feeling.

　But he didn't go over there. Instead, he continued to walk up, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the second floor and then went up to the third floor.

　A chaotic and disorderly clamor instantly assaulted my senses.

　At a glance, several rooms had their doors wide open, and second-year students were darting between the dormitories, showing no signs of stopping even though it was late at night.

　Familiar laughter rang out intermittently, and everyone looked extremely excited.

　Dark glanced around. The girls' dorm was relatively quiet; the noise was mostly coming from the boys' dorms, and the loudest and most chaotic noise seemed to be... Pistan's room. "What are they doing?"

　Dark muttered something to himself and started walking towards his dorm room. But his dorm was at the very back, and he had to pass by almost all the boys' dorms along the way.

　Naturally, I also took a few glances into the dorm rooms with their doors open.

　When he reached Pistan's bedroom door, he finally couldn't help but stop. What he saw inside was a strong, pungent smell of alcohol!

　Regardless of the era, Dak never enjoyed drinking. However, he actually had a good tolerance for alcohol; he simply lacked interest in it. Of course, there were also celestial brews like "Fairy Wine," which naturally deserve a separate discussion.

　The smell of alcohol wafting from Pistan's room, while not exactly cheap, was certainly not some divine brew.

　However, there was a subtle fruity aroma mixed in with the scent. "Fruit wine"

　Dark frowned slightly and then strode inside.

　Then, a loud shout that surprised him suddenly came from inside the room.

　"Ahhh, I am the hero! I am the hero!"

　Dak's face suddenly changed color.

　That voice undoubtedly belonged to "Holy Son" Evan Pearson! "Doron and the others actually got the Holy Son drunk!"

　Dak quickly entered the room.

　What you see is a group of second-grade boys lying crookedly indoors.

　Doron, Pistan, Röntgen... and most importantly, Evan Pearson!

　Evan Pearson, who had been so careful to maintain his aloof image, was now sprawled on the ground, completely disheveled. His once fair face was as red as a boiled shrimp, his eyes were glazed over, and he kept muttering things like "hero," "hero," "Witt," and "Dark"...

　"Wait, why is he calling my name? I didn't do anything to him." Dark frowned and kicked Doron, who had rolled right next to his feet.

　"Waaah," Doron mumbled, then grabbed his leg. Dark: "..."

　Getting drunk from a fruit wine is an understatement, since some fruit wines in this world have a fairly high alcohol content.

　But how did you manage to get yourself drunk while you were getting others drunk?

　Moreover, they made the "holy son" drink alcohol.

　Really believe in your thoughts and go out!

　If Archbishop Caleb Norris finds out about this, even the Dragon Claw Knights won't be able to protect you!

　"Devimon." "Yes!"

　"Little Devimon" flapped its wings and flew from behind him, then folded them and stood on his shoulder.

　Dark said, "Go and call a few magical elves over and move these guys to their respective dorm rooms. Also, there are a few more downstairs."

　"Understood!" Little Devimon immediately obeyed.

　But before turning and flying away, it suddenly asked, "What if we don't know where their dormitories are?"

　Dark: "Pick one at random, and remember to bring it to the bed." "Okay!" The little devil beast flapped its wings and flew out of the room. Only then did Dark bend down and pry Doron's fingers apart one by one, successfully freeing his own feet.

　The "holy sons" of the Holy Church are absolutely forbidden from drinking alcohol, at least until they graduate from the academy.

　If we took out a scoring ball or something similar and filmed Evan Pearson...
