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

　Of course, using it to represent "divine cause" is just a derivative use of this authority.

　The purpose of "musical notes" is to directly transform music into musical scores. For Athena, who is known as the "goddess of art," this is a very practical power.

　After acquiring the authority of "musical notes," Ergane can become a "god with her own background music" if she so desires.

　Then the "notes" played, and the professors pulled Ergani along to continue the pajama party.

　As for Dak, who was a boy, he was ruthlessly kicked out.

　He wiped away the lingering regret in his heart and strode towards the room where the maids lived.

　That was originally the teachers' dormitory that Claire used when she worked at the academy. But after that, it gradually became the base for the maids.

　Dark entered the room and immediately summoned the "Coffin of Death." The "Coffin of Death" has now entered "Paradise." Even if Dark falls asleep, his magic cards won't be taken back.

　It has a very good relationship with Nana and Josie, and even when there is no "food", it will run over here from time to time.

　After Dark summoned it, Nana and Josie happily played with it.

　Dark turned to Ellie and offered her the necessary care.

　Although Ellie is introverted and shy, her past experiences mean that she can be fearless when necessary. In addition, she can keep in touch with Ashe at any time, so there is no need to worry too much.

　Dak inquired about her level of knowledge, offered a few suggestions, and then arranged a meeting time for the next day before ending the conversation.

　It's already late tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow.

　Dark gathered all the cat grasses he kept there, along with the Insect Tree, then summoned the "Fairy Beast" and activated the "Fairy Barrier," directly unleashing a group of attacks.

　Teleportation took us to dormitory 301.

　In two months, he will be moving from 301 to 401, but now is not the time.

　After moving the cat grass, Dark teleported to the Magical Creatures Club, set up "Paradise," then summoned the "Magical Secretary," and then summoned all the other suitable magical spirits one by one.

　The Fantastic Beasts Club suddenly became lively. Dark's mood also became increasingly pleasant. Student life was indeed the most leisurely.

　Once the doors and walls are closed, the outside world is completely isolated. The inside and outside of the academy are like two different worlds.

　He wouldn't let external worries and troubles affect him. In his previous life, he was often annoyed by his studies at school. In this life, however, he cherishes it all the more.

　After completing the final summoning, Dark walked out of the clubroom and into the corridor, where he suddenly noticed that "Gatomon" had a "holy ring" on its tail.

　Looking further into the distance, the "Thunder Chick" was flying over with a "puff puff" sound, and soon it was embracing the little Guhuoniao.

　Looking out into the dense forest, the "man-eating giant flower" had somehow moved to the lakeside and was taking a stroll under the moonlight.

　The lake water is sparkling, the castle is serene, and one's mind is naturally at peace.

　July 4th, Saturday.

　Dark helped Ellie obtain a temporary college admission card, then summoned the "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" to show Ellie around the academy and help her get familiar with the layout.

　He himself went to a summer camp cram school.

　The summer camp curriculum consists of theory in the morning and practical activities in the afternoon.

　The theory is based on grade level, with each class having a dedicated professor responsible for teaching.

　However, the practical classes are attended by everyone together.

　The first-year students attending the summer camp included Vivian Aldwin, Jon, Joey, Cecilia Doyle, Victoria, Phoenix, Shirley Augustine, and two other top students from the Fools' House and the Knights' House, making a total of nine students present.

　If we include Aurora, who is temporarily absent, there are a total of ten people. The second-year students attending the summer camp are Darkdemon, Vitgot, Emma Metis, Saraswati, Heidi Euphemia, Diana Gretby, Rose Flori, Klein Moretti, and Vanessa Bolt, making a total of nine students, all of whom are present.

　The number of students from the third to the fifth grade is also between eight and ten, and there are also several sixth-grade graduates serving as teaching assistants, including senior Debranelli from the Magic Academy.

　Based on the different academic abilities of each student, students can apply to a professor to attend classes in higher grades.

　However, the summer camp courses are generally moved up a grade level, the pace of instruction is accelerated, and the content is more focused on duels.

　This is naturally in preparation for the new rules of dueling.

　This is also in preparation for the "Academy Championship" that is basically foreseeable! After this period of remote consultation, Principal Arte and the participants at the time have reached a certain degree of consensus. Once the "Magic Alliance" is officially established, the relevant ideas will be put forward at the meeting.

　Therefore, it's not just St. Marian Academy; academies from various factions are probably making active preparations.

　Compared to this "Academy Championship," the Heroes' Tournament currently being held in the capital is merely a warm-up.

　At 7:50 a.m., Dak entered the classroom on time, greeted the second-grade students present, and then casually chose a seat to sit down.

　There were only eight students in the class, so it was naturally inappropriate for him to sit in the last row. But as soon as he sat down, Wittgold leaned over and asked with a fawning look, "Darkdark, I heard you saw Robert during the holidays?"

　Dark said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

　Wittgold then whispered, "Robert wrote me a letter saying that he met you, solved a locked-room murder case, and eventually brought the killer to justice."

　Dark blinked and said, "What did he say?"

　Wittgold said, "Of course he'll exaggerate his abilities to the fullest extent. I don't believe him; he's definitely bluffing. What do you think? It's not true, is it?"

　Dark quietly pointed to Emma's back in the front row and said, "If you change the protagonist to Emma, ​​that's pretty much the truth."

　Wittgold paused for a moment, then walked away cursing, "I knew it... Damn it, I thought he was just exaggerating the process, but it turns out he didn't do the whole thing."

　Dak chuckled. Robert should be sticking together with Doron for warmth now. Hopefully, after these three months of military training, he'll be able to get rid of his big mouth.

　"Make way, make way."

　Diana, who arrived a little later, squeezed in from the left, moved Dark to the right to make room for him, and then sat down with Rose.

　Shortly after, Professor Cazell entered through the professor's door. Today was not the official start of class; Professor Cazell would be drawing out some useful material from the upper-level curriculum and explaining it in advance.

　The first lesson covered advanced techniques for magical transformation, while the second lesson took a sharp turn, directly teaching the method for creating the "Phantom Weapon Spell".

　The "Illusionary Weapon Spell" was originally taught in the fourth grade, but its method of creation is not particularly difficult.

　After these two months, Dark and the others will be in their third year, which is equivalent to starting a year earlier.

　The key is that the "Phantom Weapon Spell" is one of the more useful spells in the new duel rules, and everyone present is a top student in their second year, with each person having a relatively obvious characteristic.

　If one could use the "Illusion Spell" to conjure a powerful weapon similar to a holy sword, it would undoubtedly be a significant upgrade.

　Of course, even if the conjured weapon is not powerful, the process of crafting the "Phantom Weapon Spell" will make students more familiar with the crafting of "Equipment Cards".

　Dark was studying the "Holy Weapon Spell," an improved version of the "Phantom Weapon Spell," and he paid extra attention to the content of this lesson.

　Professor Kazel's understanding of the "Phantom Spell" differs from that of Alvit, and his explanation is more detailed and comprehensive.

　Dak listened attentively to the lecture and carefully reviewed the notes. Suddenly, the research problems that had accumulated over the past few days became clear.

　He immediately became excited and had the idea of ​​trying to refine the "Sacred Weapon Spell" right away.

　Midway through the class, Professor Kazel even called Vitgold up to demonstrate his "Phantom Spell".

　Virtold's research on the "Phantom Spell" was indeed in-depth, and the "Holy Sword" he conjured was extremely powerful, which effectively enhanced the students' enthusiasm for the "Phantom Spell".

　After gaining insight, Dark immediately began to devise the optimal alchemy method. As soon as the morning classes ended, he rushed back to his dormitory and began conducting an experiment.

　His hard work over this period of time finally paid off. This time, his experiment was a complete success, and he finally mastered the first "Sacred Weapon Spell"!

　Besides being used as a "Phantom Weapon Spell", the "Sacred Weapon Spell" can also borrow the essence of the Holy Sword from the "War God's Sword Sheath" to conjure up the "Sacred Sword".

　After examining it carefully, Darke infused it with magic to summon it.

　Like the "Phantom Weapon Spell," the "Sacred Weapon Spell" requires a large amount of magical energy to be successfully summoned. Therefore, it offers a degree of freedom in materializing weapons.

　He used a normal summoning spell to activate the "Sacred Weapon Spell". Sure enough, he could sense a line appearing between the "Sacred Weapon Spell" and the "War God's Sword Sheath".

　By continuing to infuse magic into the "God of War Sword Sheath" through this line, one can sense the holy sword's essence stored within it.

　A thought struck Dak, and he chose the only "Emerald Holy Sword" as the object of his borrowing.

　The essence of the "Emerald Holy Sword" flowed into the "Holy Weapon Spell" along the magic line, and through the mechanism of the "Holy Weapon Spell," it manifested as the "Emerald Holy Sword."

　Although this "Jade Holy Sword" only has the form, it already possesses the essence of a holy sword.

　Dark held the Holy Sword and felt for the first time that he could activate its power.

　This reminded him of the "Blood Sword" he had given to Victoria.

　"No rush, no rush. The power of the 'Blood Holy Sword' is not compatible with my own abilities. Instead of absorbing the 'Blood Holy Sword,' I'd rather find another one. Anyway, with the 'Sheath,' I can always find more 'Holy Swords.'"

　Although Dark was tempted, he ultimately did not let "greed" affect his will.

　What's given away is given away; there's no reason to take it back.

　When Dak inserted the "Emerald Holy Sword" into the "scabbard," he saw the shape of the "scabbard" change to match the shape of the holy sword perfectly.

　Unfortunately, there was only a trace of the Holy Sword's essence within the "scabbard," otherwise he would have been able to unleash a beam of sunlight.

　Before cleaning up the experimental residue, Dark didn't forget to record the experimental process. During the forging process, he could clearly feel that the forging method of the "Sacred Weapon Spell" still had room for optimization.

　This can increase the transformation efficiency of "Sacred Weapon Spell".

　Once he reaches the pinnacle of optimization, he will need to prepare at least three "Holy Weapon Spells." These will become his secret weapons.

　Once everything was settled, Dak happily left the dormitory and headed towards the cafeteria.

　At one o'clock in the afternoon, there was no one left in the cafeteria except for the staff. Dak entered the cafeteria, chatted with the halfling chefs for a few minutes, and then got a bowl of hot beef noodles, which he naturally ate with great relish.

　At 2 p.m., all the students who had returned to the academy early gathered at the open-air duel arena.

　When Dak saw Professor Pavajohn standing at the front, he knew that the first practical activity of the afternoon was running.

　Sure enough, at Professor Jones's command, everyone started running around the open-air dueling arena.

　Older students have all experienced hardship, and even girls who seem weak at first glance can run quite fast.

　Emma and Rose were originally the weakest in terms of physical fitness among the second-year students. However, after undergoing the intense military training of the Giant Bear Clan, Rose's physical fitness improved significantly, and she managed to keep up with the main group.

　Although Emma lagged behind, she didn't get out of breath after just a few steps like she used to, and managed to stay close behind.

　In the first year... only Cecilia Doyle was left behind. These two direct descendants of the Sages became like sisters in misfortune, and both were extremely proud. They immediately blushed and began to compete with each other.

　Hmm, it looks pretty good.

　After circling the venue once, all the students present at the summer camp were gathered in the center of the venue.

　The practical courses were taught by more than just Professor Pavajohn; the dueling course professors for each grade, plus a group of teaching assistants, numbered more than ten, making it a very strict course.

　The second phase of this practical lesson was not a duel, but rather combat training.

　The students who had just returned to school yesterday were astonished, while those who had arrived earlier were already used to it.

　In this practical class, professors teach students hand-to-hand combat and may even teach breathing techniques depending on the situation.

　Practicing internal energy cultivation can improve physical fitness even without going to the battlefield. Moreover, under the new dueling rules, duelists must personally participate, which instantly raises the bar for their combat abilities.

　Even if you use "equipment cards" to arm yourself, the duelist still needs to have the ability to control the equipment.

　These are all things that must be taught to students during this period. After individual combat practice, we move on to the third stage of practical teaching. This stage tests students' skills in two-person sparring!

　The students put on protective gear and practiced in pairs with their classmates, as assigned by the professors.

　Dark's face darkened as he looked at Diana, who had walked up to him, and his fists clenched instinctively.

　Among the second-year students, Vitgot should have been his equal in physical ability. Having inherited the bloodline of the hero Bright, Vitgot already possessed exceptional swordsmanship talent.

　He chose "Knight Class" as an elective in his second year, and after a year of training, his strength has increased significantly.

　—Incidentally, Robert and Diana also took the "Knight's Course".

　Despite the immense pressure from Diana, Witt managed to keep up and eventually caught up with Robert in terms of physical strength.

　Robert wasn't present during this second-year sparring session, and he subconsciously felt that his opponent would be Dark, which excited him greatly, as he wanted to regain the upper hand in the sparring match.

　After all, he and Dark were the sons of the kingdom's twin swordsmen, and both were boys...

　However, after the group assignments were completed, standing opposite him was Klein Moretti from the Fool's House.

　Looking at Klein's fair and delicate appearance, Witt felt a sense of "unfairness in winning"—even though he hadn't won yet.

　Diana was quite excited after being assigned to Dak's group, and smiled like a little fox.

　"People always grow through trials and tribulations."

　Dark took a deep breath, slowly raised his armored hand, and his gaze gradually sharpened.

　Sparring session, begin!

　Inside the open-air dueling arena, screams and roars of anger erupted from the students.

　The professors walked around with their arms crossed, observing the students' progress.

　First-year student Vivian Alderwin displayed a strength that was not apparent from her appearance, and fought fiercely against Victoria, a seven-star magical elf.

　Transfer student Shirley Augustine and Phoenix, whose offense and defense are only 100 points each, are locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle...
