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

　Gatomon slowly got out of bed, his tone filled with intense disdain.

　But Sylveon understood in a second that this guy was showing off his ability to communicate with his owner with words!

　Thus began another tug-of-war that was invisible to Dark!

　……

　Ryan Hax did not succeed as the head of the House of Fools.

　Instead, he continued the teaching habit of the History of Magic course from the end of the previous semester, gathering students from all four houses in a large lecture hall for a class.

　The history of magic doesn't inherently require overly detailed explanations. So, whether it's divided into two lessons or one, there's really not much difference.

　For new professors, it's actually easier to get used to the job by bringing together a year's worth of students for classes.

　In fact.

　In St. Marian Academy's curriculum, the history of magic is categorized as a "political education" subject.

　On the one hand, the college hopes that students will not forget history, and on the other hand, it hopes that students will learn from history, draw good ideas from history, and establish correct values.

　Therefore, the course content of the history of magic has always been very broad.

　Last semester, there were three professors—Didi, the principal, and Claire—and they all taught completely different subjects.

　However, the core ideas they express are actually similar.

　Remember the sacrifices of heroes and cherish the hard-won peace we enjoy today.

　This is a dove's way of thinking.

　But as soon as Mr. Ryan Hawkes opened his mouth, Dak immediately realized that this Professor Hawkes was a thoroughgoing advocate of war!

　He had already lost an arm, a leg, and an eye on the battlefield.

　The war did not bring him any real benefits other than honor.

　But you could hear his longing for the wartime period even in his ears!

　……

Chapter 226 Ryan Hawkes Doesn't Want to Be a Live-in Son-in-Law

　Ryan Hacks was not a hero at the end of the war.

　His era was twenty or thirty years before the end of the war.

　At that time, the golden generation, led by heroes such as warriors, valiant women, and battlefield saints, had not even been born yet.

　Although magical technology has emerged, it is still in a period of development with many setbacks and is far from being able to differentiate itself from magic.

　Ryan Harker is a true spearman. As a young man, he obtained a dragon's spine and forged it into a spear, from which he has repeatedly distinguished himself in battle.

　His most famous battle was the "Battle of Violet" in Tomorrow Canyon.

　At the time, in his prime, Hax protected Princess Violet of the Qingyuan Dwarf Tribe. He single-handedly guarded Tomorrow Canyon, his Dragon Spine Spear invincible, keeping three thousand demon troops outside the canyon, unable to get even half a step closer!

　According to eyewitnesses, at that time, night had fallen and it was pitch black. The dragon's soul roared like thunder, and a golden dragon soared up from the canyon, illuminating most of the sky.

　It was after that battle that the Qingyuan Dwarf tribe changed their previous negative impression of humans and agreed to sign the Hundred Tribes Treaty, laying an indispensable foundation for the Hundred Tribes Alliance!

　……

　"Back in the day, I was a renowned handsome man in the military."

　Professor Hax, caught up in the excitement, couldn't help but stomp his prosthetic leg.

　“That Violet Princess has been infatuated with me ever since that battle, but who am I, Hax? Of course I would never marry into a dwarf clan and become that damned dwarf son-in-law!”

　"When I was your age, I was already drafted into the army. I went to the front lines and carried corpses. Later, I fought my way across the battlefield, single-handedly taking on a thousand men. How exhilarating!"

　"Back then, I was young and impetuous, full of vigor and ambition. I looked down on everyone and only thought about piercing through the sky with a dragon spine spear!"

　As Hacks spoke, his tone became increasingly heated.

　It was as if I had returned to that era, surrounded by my invincible comrades, with a vast and mighty demon race before me. The entire sky was obscured by yellow sand, and only by wielding my spear could I find a moment of clarity.

　Suddenly, a student raised his hand and asked, "Professor Hawks, is the princess of the Green Plains Dwarfs also green-skinned?"

　Hax was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily: "Of course, the princess of the Qingyuan dwarves is also a Qingyuan dwarf."

　The Qingyuan Dwarves live on the Qingyuan Plains and have green skin due to their diet and environment. The entire clan considers green to be beautiful, and Princess Qingyuan is naturally the greenest of the green!

　If he hadn't been so green, Hacks wouldn't have so decisively rejected Princess Violet's invitation.

　……

　Some low laughter rang out in the classroom.

　Professor Hax, however, paid no attention.

　He's fallen on hard times, so he's long been used to cold stares and ridicule, and he won't feel upset by a few harmless laughs.

　Aside from occasionally indulging in a few boasts, Professor Hax's lectures are generally quite practical.

　He was neither like Professor Didi, who simply read from the textbook, nor like Principal Art, who focused on heroic accounts, nor did he possess Professor Claire's extensive knowledge of the past and present.

　His knowledge of the wars of the previous era was exceptionally detailed. He was teaching the history of modern warfare more than the history of magic.

　He can handle any battle, big or small, with ease and is also adept at analyzing the significance beyond victory or defeat.

　But between the lines, there is always a sense of nostalgia for the wartime period and a fondness for life on the battlefield.

　Throughout the entire text, the message is clear: "Peace corrupts."

　……

　In any case, the students were very interested in the secret war stories he would occasionally tell.

　Professor Hax always tries to respond to students' questions with humor.

　The overall atmosphere of this first History of Magic class was pretty good.

　After class, Professor Hax, leaning on his cane, limped away from the classroom.

　It wasn't until they saw his now-vanished figure that someone suddenly remembered that Ryan Harker ultimately left the battlefield as a loser.

　"In which battle did Professor Harris lose?"

　Diana leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

　But Dark isn't an omniscient god; he can't just casually give the answer.

　However, Diana showed a rare thirst for knowledge, so Darke seized the opportunity to say, "If you're interested, you can go to the library to look it up."

　Diana: "Oh."

　……

　The library seemed to be missing something after the holiday, and students always felt a little out of place when they entered it.

　It wasn't until some time later that someone realized there was a missing sight in front of the counter.

　Pandora missed the start of the semester.

　Dak asked Ms. Bella, the librarian.

　But Ms. Bella shook her head, saying only that Pandora had taken leave and would be back by the weekend at the latest.

　With the itinerary already set, Dak was no longer worried.

　His life returned to normal, except that he spent much less time in the library.

　After all, there were still hungry magical elves waiting for him in the dormitory.

　Instead, Witt and Robert went straight to the library as soon as get out of class was over.

　They are not isolated cases.

　Because the Duel Club's recruitment for new members will begin this Friday afternoon, many students who are looking forward to it but cannot yet meet the requirements are starting to cram at the last minute.

　Witt and Robert were among them.

　Witt still has hope, but Robert is far behind.

　Fortunately, the Duel Club's recruitment event lasted for three weeks this semester.

　Of all the school clubs and organizations, the Duel Club is the only one that recruits first-year students.

　All other clubs require you to be at least a sophomore to join!

　……

　Back in his dormitory, Dark took an hour to teach the magical spirits, and after much deliberation, abandoned his intention to create "Greed I".

　Currently, it seems that "Greed I," which can be created with just 1 point of "Greed," will not have any use beyond research; at least "Greed II" is required to be incorporated into the system.

　So he planned to wait until later, until he had extracted the 1.5 o'clock "Greed" from tonight, and then directly create "Greed II".

　In addition, the allocation for this month has been preliminarily determined.

　A total of 15 "Sins" can be drawn, which are as follows:

　Greed: 3

　[Arrogance]: 9

　[Paradise]: 3

　Adding the 1 point of "Pride" left over from last month, it's just enough to make one "Greed II", one "Pride III", and one "Ecstasy II".

　"Greed II" was created for research purposes.

　The production of "Pride III" was absolutely necessary.

　The production of "Paradise II" is pending, mainly because it is intended to lower the performance indicators of "Paradise" and can be temporarily put on hold.

　……

　As for the current topic, we will continue to focus on the "fusion" training, while also incorporating related learning about the "zoo" training.

　In short, he created "Greed II" before going to bed that night.

　……

Chapter 227 Greedy Eevee's Ultimate Craving

　"Modo Modo, Modo Modo!"

　Dark quickly grabbed the little devil's wing roots with both hands to prevent it from lunging at the little red flower in the drawer, its face full of greed.

　It was clearly pointless to snatch the little red flower like that. But Little Devimon's mind was already filled with blatant greed, so he couldn't think clearly anymore.

　Above its forehead, the emblem representing "greed" was gleaming.

　The emblem of "Pride" is red, but its representative color after being refined into a card is dark gold.

　The emblem of "Paradise" is green, and its representative color after being refined into a card is pink.

　The emblem of "Greed" is purple, and its representative color after being refined is blue!

　Blue should be the color of the sky, but the blue in "Greed II" has a dark tone that makes people unable to resist greed.

　"Sylveon!"

　"Meow (>^ω^ As Sylveon used its ribbon tentacles to wrap up Devimon into a dumpling with only its head sticking out, Dark finally freed its hands."

　He picked up a pen and paper and carefully observed the little devil's forehead for a while. Then he drew the crest of the great sin of "greed".

　At the center of the "Greed" emblem is a lock-like mark, above which is the astronomical symbol for Saturn—a symbol resembling an "h".

　The outer ring of the coat of arms is a band of English text:

　LEVEL-666

　SYSTEM:MAMMON

　CODE:GREED

　Below the seal, on the inner circle of the coat of arms, is written:

　CAUTION! PURGATORY LEVEL 5……

　Outer ring:
