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

　To everyone's surprise, Professor Adrian Jeremy pulled out a notebook full of math notes and began to ask him questions.

　At that time, Duck had just finished compiling Mathematics V less than two days ago, and Mathematics IV only five days ago.

　Darke had assumed that Mathematics IV was still in Professor Bacon's possession at that time. Therefore, he was quite surprised when Professor Adrian Jeremy inquired about the knowledge contained in Mathematics IV.

　It was at that time that he learned from Professor Jeremy that Lily had made many copies of Mathematics IV as soon as she got her hands on it, and distributed them to the professors who had read Mathematics! III I.

　It's paid.

　There are fundamental differences between Mathematics IV and Mathematics III.

　Mathematics III consists of approximately 20% junior high school mathematics and 60% senior high school mathematics content.

　However, Mathematics IV consists of 40% high school mathematics and 60% Olympiad mathematics content.

　The difference lies in the 60% of the content related to Olympiad mathematics.

　This is indeed a challenge for professors who are encountering the International Mathematical Olympiad on a large scale for the first time.

Chapter 1156 Summer, Achieving Blissful Freedom (4k)

　Incorporating Olympiad math content is very helpful in expanding students' mathematical thinking and improving their relative cognition.

　However, the main reason for including most of the Olympiad math content in "Mathematics IV" was actually to compile the subsequent advanced mathematics content into "Mathematics V" and "Mathematics VI" respectively.

　He had considered this point long ago. Advanced mathematics, simply put, is university-level mathematics.

　For students of St. Mary's College, the study of advanced mathematics is not strictly necessary.

　Moreover, although St. Mary's College has a six-year curriculum, the actual theoretical teaching is concentrated in the first five years, and the sixth year is mainly practical teaching, which is not suitable for including advanced mathematics with too much content.

　Therefore, he divided the content of advanced mathematics into two volumes, with the simpler content placed in the fifth grade and the more advanced content placed in the sixth grade.

　Furthermore, while compiling the textbooks, he suggested making both "Mathematics V" and "Mathematics VI" elective courses. Starting from the fifth grade, students would be allowed to choose whether to continue studying mathematics in greater depth.

　After all, the academy's core focus is on teaching magical knowledge, so mathematics should not take precedence.

　For students who are not interested in studying mathematics in depth, they can simply treat it as a tool.

　The mathematics curriculum at the junior and senior high school levels is sufficient. However, these suggestions are only for students. The professors at St. Mary's College are an exception. They, of course, can study whatever they want. They also have sufficient knowledge to delve deeply into mathematics.

　If the path of magic had not been restarted due to the opening of the Shinto ritual, they would have had plenty of time to study it.

　During the research process, one will naturally encounter all sorts of difficult problems.

　After all, mathematics is a relatively new subject for them. Moreover, mathematics itself still has many unsolved problems.

　After that day, Dacker was entangled with Professor Adrian Jeremy, who sometimes brought other professors along as well.

　This really caused him some trouble, so much so that the finishing of "Mathematics VI" was a little slow.

　However, it was a matter of returning the favor.

　Meeting Professor Adrian Jeremy's needs is like making an investment.

　One day, Daq will recoup his investment, with interest.

　Mathematics VI was completed on the evening of September 20th.

　Using his Sunday off, Dak worked overtime to finish the last math textbook. Then, feeling completely deflated, he collapsed onto his bed.

　At that moment, he felt a profound sense of "I never want to move again." Much later, he summoned Professor Lily and handed her this last mathematics textbook.

　After that, the unedited version of "Mathematics VI" appeared out of nowhere on the desks of many professors.

　Then, suddenly, a wave of mathematical fervor swept through the professors.

　A few days later, Mathematics V and Mathematics VI were listed as electives, as Duck suggested—elective courses without a professor offering classes.

　Mathematics V and Mathematics VI, especially Mathematics VI, covers very advanced topics.

　Some professors even exclaimed that a single mathematics book revealed the essence of the world. Their study and acceptance of mathematics textbooks brought about a profound transformation in their understanding of the world.

　And they quickly reflected that change in their respective areas of expertise. It was only a matter of time before research across all sectors exploded.

　On the first day after all the teaching materials were completed, Dak did not slack off because he "didn't want to move anymore".

　When he emerged from his three-day "seclusion," he suddenly discovered that publicity for the "Academy Championship" had spread like wildfire throughout the world.

　The various topics that were circulating among students not long ago have suddenly disappeared, and no matter where you go, you can only hear discussions related to the "College Championship".

　The "Academy Cup" between just four departments is enough to cause a frenzy throughout the entire academy. Not to mention the academy battles between magic academies all over the world.

　Putting aside the question of winning or losing, the Academy Championship, as the first large-scale formal event after the release of the "New Duel Rules," is bound to be incredibly exciting.

　Moreover, the academy championship was held in the open-air dueling arena of St. Marian Academy.

　In about ten days, the elites from various magic academies will gather at St. Marian Academy.

　They will engage in a month-long duel at St. Marian Academy.

　Of course, they couldn't be idle during the entire month-long competition. All visiting students would transfer to the college temporarily as "exchange students."

　This is something that is very attractive to students in all colleges.

　The students at St. Marian College were excitedly discussing which students from other colleges would be coming.

　Inevitably, their discussion gradually veered towards "appearance." At the end of the last academic year, the arrival of "Saint Son" Evan Pearson and "Saintess" Audrey Joan of Arc made the academy even more lively than usual.

　Both of them are outstanding in terms of looks alone. I wonder if they will return for this year's academy competition.

　Beyond humans, the topic of "appearance" inevitably leads to the mention of "elves".

　The boys were very interested in the girls of the Elf race, and the girls were also very interested in what the boys of the Elf race looked like.

　The budding emotions unique to this age group gradually take hold among the boys and girls.

　They were increasingly looking forward to the "Academy Championship".

　Most students wouldn't care about the meaning behind the competition.

　They only need to focus on the game itself and the changes it brings to their living environment.

　Discussions about "appearance" are increasing, but discussions about "winning or losing" always come first. Playing on home turf, they can only win, not lose.

　While ordinary students cheered and encouraged the participants, the top students who were scheduled to compete felt even more pressured.

　Not all students who participate in the summer camp are selected.

　Not all students who didn't participate in the summer camp were left out. There were no preliminary rounds.

　On September 21st, the first Monday of the "College Championship" which was heavily promoted, qualified students were directly called to the office.

　The professors informed the students of the competition rules, stating directly that the final selection of participants would be based on each student's wishes and performance in the remaining time.

　The "Academy Championship" will be modeled after the Easter Duel Festival, and will be divided into two different groups: the lower grade group and the upper grade group.

　Therefore, even younger students have room to perform in this large-scale competition.

　Even so, if one is overly fixated on winning or losing, the contestants are very likely to be concentrated in the third and sixth grades.

　Taking St. Maryan Academy itself as an example, putting aside the first year, it is already very difficult for the second year to compete with the third year.

　For fourth graders to compete against sixth graders is simply a pipe dream. However, the "Academy Championship" isn't just limited to the lower and upper grade groups; there's also a competition for all grades except first graders!

　The competition format for all grade levels is slightly different; it's basically a preview of the "World Cup," offering a greater degree of freedom.

　It will be the highlight, reserved for the last competition segment.

　The final college rankings are then determined based on the total points earned by each college across the three competition stages.

　This is the essence of the Academy Championship. Students represent their academies, and academies represent their races. Rankings determine who is superior.

　This academy championship is not just a competition between students. The "World Cup" that follows the "Academy Championship" is the same. Moreover, the "World Cup" is on a larger scale, with the entire Free City becoming its battlefield.

　In this environment, top students in each grade who were given special qualifications began to compete fiercely.

　Although Dak wasn't worried about being swept away, he couldn't really relax just by staying in that kind of atmosphere.

　On the evening of September 26, he completed his research on "Paradise IV" and produced the first "Paradise IV" using a "double-layer magic pattern" structure.

　Moreover, it uses the "Paradise Version of Elysium"!

　This can be described as a groundbreaking achievement.

　The successful creation of "Paradise IV" using the "Paradise Version of Elysium" signifies that Dark has officially achieved "Elysium Freedom".

　Subsequent magical transmutations use "Luna version of Elysium," while "Elysium IV V" transmutations use "Paradise version of Elysium," and there is no limit to the number of these transmutations.

　His self-produced and self-consumed "bliss" has lost its meaning.

　On another level, this also means that he has already forged his own path.

　Because his self-produced and self-sold "Paradise" can be called "Dark's version of Paradise", or... "Demon God's version of Paradise"!

　The influence of the demonic bloodline on "Moon Goddess Version of Elysium" and "Paradise Version of Elysium" is significantly reduced.

　The fact that "Paradise Version of Elysium" was used to create "Elysium V" this time also means that Dark's own analysis and mastery of "Elysium" has entered a new level, and has completely and comprehensively surpassed his understanding of "Pride".

　At the same time, this is enough to show that all "Great Sin Cards" can be made using "Great Sins" other than "Demon God Version Great Sin".

　This naturally includes the future "Elysium V".

　Just like with [Paradise V], to achieve the same effect as "Demon God Paradise" using "Paradise Version Paradise", a more advanced production method is required.

　"Double-layered magic runes" is a typical example of successful optimization. On the very night that Dark successfully refined "Paradise IV", he began to replicate his achievement without stopping, refining more "Paradise IV".

　Although a deck can only contain a maximum of three "Elysium IV" cards, having more "Elysium IV" cards eliminates the cooldown restriction, allowing for continuous duels without interruption in a short period.

　Otherwise, a one-hour-long CD would actually be very fatal. Since September 26th was a Saturday night, Darke spent the whole night working on nine copies of "Paradise IV" before finally falling asleep happily.

　As for the fact that sleeping during the day resulted in the magical spirits being imprisoned in the "Magical Paradise" for an entire day, this was ruthlessly suppressed.

　The effects achieved by "Paradise IV" and "Paradise I IV" are almost identical.

　It is clear that both sides have reached the limits of this type of magic card.

　Dak woke up before Sunday dinner, tidied himself up, and went downstairs to the cafeteria for a meal with a cheerful expression.

　As soon as school started, Aurora began her feeding routine again. "Bingeing" frequently triggered the alarm.

　If Dak hadn't been still growing and never gained weight, he might have become quite plump from being fed so much.

　Although he told Aurora not to waste time

　Regarding feeding, Aurora said it was the "leisure" in "work-rest balance," leaving Dak speechless for a moment, so he let her continue.

　However, every night during his late-night snack time, he would inquire about Aurora's studies and answer her questions, which could be considered an equal exchange.

　Even though they met every night, he could feel Aurora's pressure building up layer by layer, and perhaps the only time she could find a moment of relaxation was when she was cooking.

　The "Academy Championship" has different meanings for everyone. The Free City has just embarked on a path to prosperity with the establishment of the "Magic Alliance".

　As the young lord of the Free City, she naturally had to set an example.

　In this "Academy Championship", she showed an unprecedented competitive spirit.

　Regardless of his stance, Dak should offer his support. Coming down from the fourth floor and climbing three flights of stairs, Dak couldn't help but reminisce about his first and second year of high school.

　As students at St. Mary's College progress through their grades, their dormitory floors also rise, which increases the time spent going up and down the stairs.

　The thought of having to go up and down seven floors in sixth grade made Dark feel a little panicked. This tower seemed to be missing something called an "elevator."

　Finally reaching the first floor, Dak suddenly stopped, his brow furrowing naturally. An unusually noisy commotion was coming from the common room, as if people were arguing, but the atmosphere was somewhat off.

　Instead of eavesdropping, he started again, walked directly out of the stairwell, and went into the common lounge.

　As expected, the students of the House of Nobles gathered in the common room.

　Dark raised his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over the shoulders of the crowd and landing on another group of people standing opposite them.

　Those were clearly a group of orcs! "Orcs"

　With a quick shift in his thinking, Dak understood.

　The Orcish War Totem Academy arrived before October!

　There is only one magic academy in the orc territory, and that is the War Totem Academy, which inherited the soul of heroes.

　This time, the War Totem Academy will naturally represent the orcs in the Academy Championship.

　The leading orc had a frizzy golden coat, but a handsome face with a sculpted, rugged look; he was clearly a member of the lion-man royal family.

　Dark met him when the Magic Alliance was founded.

　That was Lionheart's twenty-second son, Spyclaion's elder brother. At the same time, Dark saw Spyclaion behind the group of orcs.
