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

　Considering that the future of an "astrologer" is not ideal, Dak gave up on continuing his studies.

　However, he applied for Eevee to audit the class, and Principal Arte has already agreed. In addition, "Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" and "Fantasy Beast: God of Destruction" also want to audit the "Astrology Class," and Dark plans to apply to Professor Medea.

　Professor Mitia will continue to offer "Astrology" classes, but they will still be introductory courses.

　In short, that's the general idea.

　Elective courses start in the second week of the semester, and it's Saturday now, so there are two more days to consider, including today.

　Given the special circumstances, neither he nor Aurora need to worry about failing their elective courses. So there's no rush; they can ask what others have chosen first.

　In addition, there's the recruitment of new members for student clubs.

　But when it comes to club recruitment, it actually started yesterday.

　Club recruitment began on the first Friday afternoon and continued for three weeks. Dark originally had no intention of recruiting new members, since his initial purpose in establishing the Magical Creatures Club was to legitimately build dormitories for magical creatures in the clubroom.

　But now that the magical spirits have a new home, the number of magical spirits residing in the club classroom will inevitably decrease, so recruiting a couple more new members won't be a problem.

　However, he did not participate in the recruitment activities.

　The essence of the recruitment event was to attract talent through advertising. He wasn't eager for talent; his main strategy was to have willing participants. To join the Fantastic Beasts Club, one had to apply in the clubroom. After breakfast, Dark arrived at the Fantastic Beasts Clubroom. There was no sign at the entrance, nor were there any recruitment advertisements on the walls. The Fantastic Beasts Clubroom was located on the tenth floor of the Spiral Clock Tower. However, the professor's door was already crowded with people.

　[I've been staying at the hospital the whole time, and I'll be making frequent trips there in the future.]

Chapter 1154 The Newcomer to the Fantastic Beasts Club (4k)

　A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

　Dark Dimon, as the club president, is a living advertisement. What's more, the main force of new students this school year are still freshmen from the previous school year.

　Although many students deliberately avoid professors outside of class, being in the same club as a professor they like is equally attractive to another group of students.

　Of the students gathered at the entrance of the Fantastic Beasts Club, 80% were second-year students, and less than 20% were students from other grades who had not joined the club for various reasons, or who had left the club and switched to another group.

　Of course, there will also be those with ill intentions, those who want to join the club. In particular, many want to study Dark's magical spirits up close, seeking ways to give them sentience.

　But most people genuinely want to join the Fantastic Beasts Society.

　This would be beneficial for the "revival" of the Fantastic Beasts Society, but Darke is more focused on "quality over quantity".

　Of course, there are also reasons such as the club's structure being too loose and having virtually no goals. Anyone who has spent even a short time in the Fantastic Beasts Club knows that it's a club for those looking to retire.

　Although there are quite a few clubs like this at St. Marian Academy that just coast along, they are all small, insignificant clubs that can't be taken seriously, and their memberships usually only meet the minimum requirements.

　Coincidentally, the number of members in the Fantastic Beasts Society is also the same.

　Dark's gaze swept across the crowd, then he walked through the automatically parted path, opened the door, and entered the classroom.

　Finding a "good student with no ambition" in the increasingly competitive St. Marian Academy is actually quite difficult.

　People like Katrina and Britney are really hard to find. When Dak entered the classroom, he found the two seniors already there, huddled together discussing how to deal with the overly enthusiastic students outside.

　Diana and Rose are not here.

　"What's going on outside?" Dark asked after closing the door. But he only saw the two senior students' expressions relax immediately. "You're finally back." Senior Katrina looked like she was finally free to do nothing.

　Britney explained, "I don't know. Yesterday was the new student recruitment day, and the four of us discussed it and decided it wasn't necessary, so we didn't go. I didn't expect to be blocked at the door this morning."

　Senior student Katrina said, "They probably searched all over the place yesterday but couldn't find our recruitment point, so they finally couldn't resist and came to our door today."

　Dark sat down on the sofa, somewhat speechless, and said, "Aren't there large clubs like the Literature Club and Sports Club, or at the very least, the Noble History Research Club? Why do I see so many students from the Noble Academy outside?"

　Senior Katrina blinked and said, "They probably think that only a club with you can be considered a truly noble club."

　Britney also said, "The Valkyrie faction is incredibly popular right now, enjoying unparalleled success. I heard people talking about it even back in my rural hometown."

　Dak thought about it and realized that it really was true.

　Students in the House of Nobles tend to be more politically astute than students in other houses.

　Even if it's just at the parents' behest, many people would still want to join his clubs. As for the other departments...

　Forget it, there's no use in trying to find a reason.

　Whether it's because he was the math professor for the second-year students last year, or because of his unique performance in the previous Academy Cup, it's enough to attract a large number of people.

　But the frenzy outside only made him more reluctant to recruit new members, further solidifying his idea of ​​not publicly recruiting.

　People tend to stay in their comfort zone.

　The Fantastic Beasts Society is now Dark's comfort zone.

　Whether you hire one or two new people, there's always the possibility of them breaking out of your comfort zone.

　If that's the case, then it's better not to recruit at all. Of course, I'm referring to not publicly recruiting. Privately, there are still some...

　"Sorry, give in."

　A few minutes later, senior student Katrina walked out of the club room with an expression that said, "I should apologize to her." Then she hung the notice she had just made on the door.

　The notice board reads: No recruitment is open to the public.

　"How could this be?" someone in the crowd immediately expressed their dissatisfaction and shouted loudly.

　Katrina turned her head slightly to look in that direction, then said seriously, "Although it's not good to say this about the club itself, it's the truth. You basically won't learn anything by joining our club. So, for those of you who want to improve yourselves, choosing a club based on your own interests or strengths is the right choice."

　What she said is perfectly correct.

　But as soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately shouted, "What if we don't have any ideas to share? Is it possible that we just want to be in the same club as Little Dark?"

　Katrina glanced around and knew that the person speaking was most likely a member of the "Dark Dimon Fan Club".

　She put on a stern face and said, "People who lack ambition are not within our selection range."

　A 360-degree defense that is impenetrable.

　The students outside were immediately speechless.

　But after saying that, Katrina stopped explaining, went back to the classroom, and closed the door.

　"boom."

　The students' chatter outside the door only intensified. Dak couldn't help but cover his forehead.

　Katrina's remarks were really excessive.

　If this happened online, it would probably be met with a barrage of criticism. Even now, it has intensified the backlash. "I call this sincerity."

　"That's called redefining sincerity," said senior student Katrina. Senior student Britney chuckled.

　Dark looked towards the doorway: "Even so, things have been clarified. I wonder when we'll be finished."

　After more than ten minutes, the students who had been waiting outside gradually began to leave.

　Some people want to join the Fantastic Beasts Society based on their own will, and that's one thing, but there are others who have been given a mission to join and won't give up easily.

　However, even a drop of water can wear away a stone, and grinding iron can eventually make a needle. But no matter how long you persist, you'll never be able to get through to the Fantastic Beasts Club.

　Another half hour passed, and only a few kittens remained outside. These people, perhaps unwilling to give up, felt that "not publicly recruiting" was a test, and that they would be given a chance once the number of applicants decreased.

　Or perhaps they received a mission—that goes without saying.

　In short, the Fantastic Beasts Club has done everything it could. If you missed the opportunity to join other clubs because you didn't believe the announcement, then it has nothing to do with the Fantastic Beasts Club.

　After a while.

　Diana and Rose, their eyes brimming with curiosity, also arrived at the clubroom. Since Dark hadn't notified them beforehand, Diana and Rose only learned of his return to school now, and they were immediately overjoyed.

　But after a flurry of chatter, Diana still asked curiously, "Are you really not recruiting any new members?"

　“Ahem,” Dark said emphatically, “the recruitment is not open to the public.” Rose added, “And there’s little Nora too.”

　"Oh right." Diana's eyes darted around as she began to think about who else could it be.

　"What about Jon and Joey, Anna and Angie?" she asked. Dark said calmly, "The Noble History Research Society is more suitable for them. And someone like Jon should join the Literature Society."

　Katrina said, "Jon, isn't that your cousin from the magic academy?"

　Dark nodded and said, "Yes."

　Katrina said, "According to the literary society's recruitment criteria, he's facing a lot of competition."

　Dark said, "The rules can be adjusted. However, there are indeed more outstanding students in the second-year Magic Academy this year. Cecilia Doyle, for example, is ranked above Jon. All I can say is that I wish him good luck. If all else fails, he can go to the Noble History Research Club."

　“How can you treat your brother like that?” Katrina laughed. Dark rolled his eyes at her and said, “I’m doing this for his own good.” Besides Jon, Vivian Aldwin is also a second-year student at the Magic Academy this year. She definitely intends to join the Magical Creatures Club, but she will probably choose the Literature Club because of the academic pressure, which will make the competition even more intense.

　As for Victoria and Phoenix, Darke advised against coming here. Even if they didn't learn anything from other clubs, they could at least experience a richer social life.

　Coming here will only lead to stagnation.

　Those who, like Aurora, can make rapid progress regardless of their environment are not included in this category.

　In addition to Aurora, the Fantastic Beasts Company will also be welcoming a new member who is no longer new at all.

　Because it was so "unoriginal", the club members subconsciously ignored it.

　—Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears.

　Shirley Augustine opened the door and entered, asking, "What are those people outside doing?"

　After Dak explained the situation, Shirley couldn't help but gasp: "Then I have to reapply to join the club?"

　Dark said, "What do you mean by 'reapply'? You never applied at all." Katrina said, "To officially join, you need to fill out an application form and submit it to the club professor for review and approval before you are considered a true member."

　After she finished speaking, she asked curiously, "So, which house did Sherry transfer directly to this year?"

　At this point, Shirley Augustine couldn't help but complain, "I didn't want to either, but the teacher said it was better this way. As for the house sorting, there can't be any other choice besides the House of Nobles, please, I'm a princess!"

　The Princess: Parasite + Artificial Body

　Dark couldn't help but want to complain, but ultimately held back. The forging of magic cards is greatly influenced by one's thoughts and perceptions. The Sorting Ceremony is essentially a magic forging ceremony for the Sorting Cards. There's still a possibility that Sherry will be sorted into the Noble House.

　Although Dark would have preferred to see her hysteria after being assigned to the Fools' House.

　Aurora Montilfarie arrived at the Fantastic Beasts Society after noon.

　Dark called Professor Lily and processed the applications for the two new club members. This brought the Magical Creatures Club to seven members in total. The ratio of fourth-year to second-year students was two to three to two, a very healthy composition. If this continued, it would be enough to ensure the Magical Creatures Club's survival.

　Next year, Ellie and Ash, who will be going from first to second grade, will also join the club, which would be perfect.

　But in any case, despite the addition of new members, the Fantastic Beasts Society remains exactly the same today.

　Let's not even talk about Shirley Augustine. Aurora was also a regular at the clubroom. They weren't "newcomers" at all.

　Once their applications to join the club were approved, the club members naturally dispersed and went about their own business.

　The remaining students who had been guarding outside the door also disappeared completely after lunchtime.

　Senior Katrina can finally set up a deck chair in the hallway outside the door, where she can sunbathe and read.

　Meanwhile, Aurora was captivated by Diana and Rose, patiently recounting her experiences from the parliamentary elections to the formation of the Magic Alliance.

　The mental journey and actual experiences of standing firm.

　Shirley Augustine originally intended to sign in and leave, but after listening for a while, she got stuck and kept listening.

　Britney Christian listened as she knitted dolls, occasionally serving tea and pastries.

　The club members all found their own happiness. Only the club president was working hard in the office. "Mathematics IV" was completed.

　Mathematics V is loading at high speed.

　I enrolled on September 11th, completed the writing of "Mathematics IV" on the 12th, completed the writing of "Mathematics V" on the 15th, and completed the writing of "Mathematics VI" on the 20th.

　After nearly a month, Dak finally completed the writing of four mathematics textbooks in one go.

　The subsequent proofreading and refinement could only be left to Professor Lily. Whether Professor Lily would pass this task on to Professor Bacon was not something Dark needed to worry about.

　In short, these four textbooks earned a large number of academic credits and were very popular.

　They were like the secret manuals of martial arts masters, circulating wildly among the professors of St. Mary's College.

　Those professors who didn't originally pay much attention to "Mathematics I" and "Mathematics II" outside of math class became obsessed after they accidentally glanced at the contents of "Mathematics! III I" to "Mathematics VI".

　Even Professor Cazell couldn't help but temporarily put aside his research and immerse himself in mathematical studies.

　Suddenly, a mathematical frenzy swept through the castle of St. Mary's College.

　The scale of that frenzy was beyond what Duck had anticipated.

　Then at some point, "Mathematics V" and "Mathematics VI" became secret manuals that could not be easily passed on to outsiders.

　After Principal Arte reviewed it, he even gave Dak a huge amount of extra credits.

　If he doesn't spend recklessly, the credits alone would be enough to affect the outcome of the Academy Cup.
