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

　By this time, everyone was exhausted.

　But in order to completely eliminate any worries, they dragged their exhausted bodies and knocked on the door of the infirmary.

　Sister Kallian was finally able to get a good night's sleep, but she was woken up again.

　Her face was clearly not good when she opened the door, but after learning that Victor had been bitten by a vampire, she immediately said, "Come in!"

　……

　Sister Carlian settled Witt on the hospital bed, first examining the bite wound on his neck, then applying alcohol to disinfect it, and finally removing the syringe to draw blood.

　She dripped the extracted blood onto a petri dish, prepared reagents on the spot, and added them to the petri dish for testing.

　The drop of reagent reacted with the blood, emitting seven colors of light.

　After examining the spectrum, Sister Kallian finally relaxed and said, "Fortunately, there are no signs of blood enslavement."

　She put down her tools, took off her gloves, washed her hands, and then turned around to say, "Tell me, where did you encounter the vampire?"

　After a brief exchange, Dak, Betty, and the other two spoke up, saying, "It's in the secret passage."

　Sister Kallian glanced at them briefly, then asked curiously, "Is it resolved?"

　Dark shook his head: "Not yet. He turned into a swarm of bats and escaped to various parts of the secret passage."

　Carlian crossed her arms, rested her chin on her hand, and pondered, "Did it turn into a bat and escape? That's a common tactic of vampires. But don't worry, I've already notified your Professor Sylph, and she'll be here soon. If it's true, you might even get extra points."

　Dark asked in surprise, "This can add points?"

　Kallian smiled: "You discovered the potential danger within the secret passage and even successfully repelled it. Why shouldn't that earn you points?"

　Dark: "But last time..."

　Kallian: "Didn't you add it?"

　Dark: "No."

　Kallian shrugged. "Perhaps you can look forward to the new semester's opening ceremony. Arte always likes to build things up and then choose a grand moment to personally set them off like fireworks. You know, she hasn't come back since that incident. Hmm, did I let something slip?"

　Dark said seriously, "No, Sister. I didn't hear anything."

　Sister Kallian patted his shoulder and said kindly, "If you feel tired, you can lie down inside for a while. I have some sleeping potions here... Well, you can use them after you finish your report."

　Before she finished speaking, a gentle breeze entered through the window.

　Professor Sylph arrived on the wind and immediately said, "Report now."

Chapter 219 Each Goes Their Own Way (4k)

　Professor Sylph's expression remained as serious as ever.

　However, Dark could still sense that her gaze towards him was slightly different.

　This made Dark a little embarrassed, after all, he had given a less-than-pleasing gift for Christmas.

　Fortunately, Professor Sylph was a person who clearly distinguished between public and private matters, and did not say anything more about it.

　Dak then proceeded to recount in detail why he entered the secret passage and the process and outcome of his encounter with the vampire.

　He didn't hide much about using the "Paradise" card to defeat the vampire Vlad.

　Although the school prohibits professors from giving away magic cards to students for free, even unfinished ones.

　However, by Christmas time, Claire had essentially resigned, which perfectly avoided this situation.

　Furthermore, the last two steps of this card were done by Darke himself. Therefore, it does not violate the "handmade" rule.

　All that remains are moral issues.

　Therefore, Claire specifically instructed him not to use "Paradise" in events related to the competition.

　Furthermore, special cases are handled specially, and Professor Sylph is not truly an unreasonable person.

　She didn't say much about it, but instead expressed considerable appreciation for Dak's actions.

　Then, her face darkened visibly!

　"I remember I specifically warned that the secret room is extremely dangerous and entry is strictly prohibited! Especially for Witt and Robert, you two just finished being in solitary confinement!"

　……

　The change in style was so rapid that Witt and Robert were completely caught off guard.

　Witt, who had been dozing off, was suddenly jolted awake.

　Robert instinctively shrank his neck.

　Scott's expression wasn't good either.

　Only Betty retorted, "Professor Sylph, that's not a rule, and it's a holiday now!"

　Sylph: "Yes, so I'll only deduct fifty points from each of you!"

　Betty: "Professor, that's not fair! Sister Carlian didn't say that!"

　Kallian: "Ahem!"

　Sylph glared at her fiercely, then said, "One thing at a time, one matter at a time. Given that you did indeed contribute by discovering the vampires, I will give you extra points as compensation after I find out the truth. This matter will be considered settled."

　"As long as no points are deducted..."

　Witt gradually lay flat on the hospital bed, and his eyelids began to droop again.

　Professor Sylph continued, "As for Dark repelling the vampire and saving the four of you, I will explain it to the headmaster and announce the reward at that time."

　Dark couldn't help but smile; it seemed the material subsidies for "Fusion" and "Zoo" were coming.

　Professor Sylph: "You'd better rest in the infirmary now and let Sister Carlian check on your condition. We'll handle the rest."

　……

　When Professor Sylph vanished into thin air once more, Dark couldn't help but show an envious expression.

　Whether it was the principal's almost spatial entrance or Professor Sylph's movement as if she were the wind, both were so enviable.

　I wonder when he will be able to master a spell of the same level?

　As I pondered these thoughts, the exhaustion from staying up all night suddenly overwhelmed me.

　Dak yawned, found a hospital bed, lay down, and closed his eyes shortly afterward.

　Scott, Robert, and Betty are no exception.

　The group quickly fell asleep.

　Sister Kallian shook the sleep-inducing potion in her hand, activating her magic to heat it up and allow it to evaporate, helping Dark and the others enter a deep sleep.

　After carefully examining the five people's bodies and confirming that none of them had any internal or external injuries, she finally felt relieved.

　"To encounter vampires in first grade and not get hurt, I wonder if they were unlucky or incredibly lucky?"

　She returned to her desk and sat down, turning her head to look out the window.

　This winter is exceptionally unusual.

　……

　When Dak woke up, he realized how much news he had missed during the days he was exploring the secret passage.

　He leaned against the hospital bed, eating the dinner that Little Devimon had brought him while reading the two-day edition of the "Great Sage Daily," and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

　"No wonder it's Christmas!"

　Compared to their petty squabbles at school, the outside world was indeed much more exciting.

　12:0 AM, May 25th.

　While all the people of the kingdom were celebrating the arrival of Christmas, the Basdia prison, under the jurisdiction of the Holy Church, was attacked by a heretical religious order.

　In order to maintain stability, the Holy Church did not release this news until the second day after Christmas.

　He was immediately subjected to verbal and written attacks by prominent figures in the kingdom!

　The Holy Church claimed that the prison was very well defended and that all the heretics who invaded Basdia were wiped out without a single survivor!

　However, those who were less impressed with the Holy Church's actions seized the opportunity to launch an attack, firmly believing that the Holy Church must have been covering up the incident. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to wait more than 48 hours after the event to release the information.

　The reason given for blocking information is to maintain stability, but if dissidents are completely eradicated, it would undoubtedly be an inspiring thing, and should be promoted as a joyous occasion!

　Therefore, the Holy Church must be lying about this matter!

　Such comments intensified, and the kingdom's newspapers were filled with related speculations.

　The core reason for such a huge uproar is that the Basdia prison mainly holds vicious war criminals!

　Among them are even subhumans with demonic blood.

　……

　Dark put the newspaper down for a moment, picked up the soup bowl, drank the last mouthful of soup, and then put the cutlery in the basket for Little Devimon to take back.

　Witt and the others kept looking this way, seemingly eager to eat as well. However, Devimon could only feed one person, so he had to apologize.

　……

　The appearance of vampires in the secret passages of St. Marian Academy should have been a major event.

　But now the Holy Church is facing a major crisis, and it's already quite good that the academy hasn't taken advantage of its misfortune; the Holy Church is probably too busy taking care of itself.

　The Great Sage's Daily also mentioned that the kingdom has intervened forcefully in this matter and will conduct a thorough investigation of Basdia Prison.

　Of course, the influence of the doves is undeniable.

　Rumors spread like wildfire, and some prophets, eager to stir up trouble, went on a rampage, making pronouncements about the resurrection of a demon king, causing widespread panic.

　It's not wise for Dak to make wild guesses without knowing the truth.

　However, not all of the prophets' predictions were just sensationalism.

　The Demon King's resurrection is probably only a matter of time; the only question is in what form it will be resurrected.

　……

　Another half hour passed.

　Sister Kallian returned from her travels, bringing news that was neither good nor bad.

　Professor Sylph, always decisive and efficient, immediately summoned the professors still at the school after leaving this morning and conducted a thorough search of the secret passage.

　With the bat trackers that Professor Cazell had made on the spot, they killed all the bats in the secret passage in just one day!

　However, Vlad was not found among the group of bats that were captured and killed!

　It's about taste and taste.

　①Vlad has not yet possessed the body.

　②After Vlad possessed the bat, he evaded the professors' search.

　……

　The first possibility is more likely.

　The soul is a forbidden realm.

　The mage's understanding of the soul is still very superficial.

　If Vlad had not yet possessed the bat, but continued to drift in spirit form, then he would indeed be difficult to detect.

　However, the longest a soul can linger outside the mortal realm is 168 hours, while an ordinary soul will dissipate within 24 hours.

　During this period, the soul will gradually weaken as time goes by, and its self-awareness will quickly disappear, turning it into a wandering, unconscious ghost.

　If Vlad fails to find the bat possessing him within 168 hours, he will have no chance of being reborn.

　However, the above is only an inference under normal circumstances.

　Vlad's soul seems unusual!

　……

　The second possibility is almost zero.

　But since it's inside a secret passage, there might truly be some hidden place that no one knows about, one that even the professors couldn't find.

　……
