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

　"Six months should be enough time to replicate it, right?" Principal Arte turned around and said to Professor Kazel.

　Kazel said, "We can't replicate 'Skult's Quill,' but if it's just a tool to indicate the location of the trial, we should be able to create it." Principal Art smiled slightly and said, "After all, it belongs to the Goddess of Fate, so it can't be used for long. We'll return it to him once the trial guidance tool is created."

　After saying that, she picked up "Scotty's Quill," turned to the other professors in front of her, and asked, "Who wants to go first?"

　"Me! Me! Me!" Professor Lily raised her hand without hesitation. The other professors smiled and let her have first place. Lily took the quill and immediately activated it.

　The quill pen floated in the air, spun around once, and almost immediately found the direction of the hidden trial.

　The hidden trials at St. Marian Academy have only one entrance, and you can only access them one by one.

　The group immediately followed the guidance of "Scotty's Quill" to the seventh floor of the castle and headed straight for a classroom near the stairs.

　Professor Lily triggered the hidden trial at the door of that classroom and rushed in excitedly.

　She disliked "fate" and such things at all. But the trial mission described by Charles intrigued her.

　Once she entered the trial, the group gathered around her and began a late-night conversation. The investigation was temporarily put aside, and they ceased discussing it. Charles's successful completion of the trial meant that the "anomaly" truly no longer existed.

　At the same time, this formally links the "anomaly" with the "locked room." The "locked room" has now been sealed, and all usable items within have been taken out.

　Some of the names on the books do indeed belong to the first-year students of this year.

　It is clear that the person hiding in the "secret room" did indeed steal the books from the first-year students.

　But since no one has given feedback, let's say...

　Ming used some special methods when he stole the book, making the first-year student mistakenly believe that he had accidentally lost it.

　The other part of the books were borrowed from the library.

　It is clear that the person not only had a way to enter and exit the library normally, but also stole the identities of some students.

　St. Mary's College is indeed too open; there are countless ways to obtain what one needs.

　These matters were already discussed and clarified upstairs.

　They were gathered together, chatting about everyday trivialities.

　The professors always gave students the impression of being serious and dedicated, and that they were always committed to the cause of education.

　But professors are human too, with their own lives and pursuits. St. Marian College doesn't have many courses, so professors actually have much more free time than students, naturally leading to many personal matters. For example, the bar on Traveler's Street called "Secret Outpost," which only serves professors and not students, is their nightlife hotspot.

　However, a closer look at the professors present reveals...

　Let's not even talk about Principal Art; nobody knows what she's busy with all day long.

　Professor Sylph is a professor of Summoning, a dean of the Knights Academy, and the vice principal of the academy. She has to handle all kinds of trivial matters, so she is really busy and can be called a workaholic.

　Professor Cazell is still obsessed with gold alchemy, and whenever he has time, he and Professor Steven Harvey will sneak into the laboratory and not come out.

　Professor Hodelborough is a busy man, as he studies magical languages, is the head of the Fool's House, and recently took over the "Hidden Serpent" while also guiding the "Discipline Department".

　Professor Pava Jones is the professor of Duel Class and also serves as the dean of the House of Nobles. Her job is actually relatively easy, but recently, because of the Academy Championship, she has had to repeatedly select the projected recordings of the dueling matches and make them into teaching materials. She almost couldn't even find time to practice.

　In the end, it all came down to Professor Mitis's life being the most leisurely and elegant...

　So everyone gathered around and, without realizing it, began listening to Professor Mitia tell those little stories from her life.

　She was eloquent and spoke beautifully, talking non-stop, and before you knew it, time had slipped away.

　Professor Lily suddenly popped out from the entrance to the trial.

　She successfully passed the trial, but because she was too playful, she stayed in the trial a little too long.

　After completing the trial, she immediately created a "Destiny Talisman" and stored the "Destiny" she had obtained during the trial into the talisman.

　Although it might seem a bit far-fetched, Professor Lily is indeed the Dean of the Magic Academy, and the hidden trial she triggered also belongs to the Magic Academy, making her a truly legitimate and influential figure.

　However, fairies are indeed a knowledgeable race. Although they seem to retain a childlike heart, they absorb knowledge very quickly and are not like some ancient, long-lived species that always fall behind the changes of the times and are gradually eliminated by the times, so that they can only survive by living in seclusion in the deep mountains.

　After Professor Lily finished crafting the "Sage's Symbol," she sat down and chattered away, recounting her experiences in the Hidden Trials.

　Her trial mission was very fantastical, just like her, completely different from the style of others.

　In the trial world, she plays the role of a "hunter".

　This "hunter" is different from ordinary hunters; she does indeed hunt "humans," but they are subhumans.

　But one day, for some reason, this "hunter" who had captured countless demi-humans suddenly had a brain fart and developed an emotion called "repentance." He wanted to release all the prey he had captured but had not yet sold and help them find their families.

　And so this story, which seems inexplicable from any angle, began.

　Professor Lily plays the role of a "hunter," but she has no memories of being a "hunter." She must identify the races of the various demi-humans in her possession, then determine their living areas based on limited information, and help them find their homes within a certain time limit. After they find their homes, she will encounter all sorts of situations and must find ways to resolve them before she can leave with a clear conscience.

　So she toured the magnificent mountains and rivers while sending those demi-humans home, fully demonstrating the admirable quality of "doing good deeds anonymously." When she finally completed her mission, she was honored with the title of "devil."

　In short, for Lily, the task itself was very simple; the challenge was finding joy in completing it.

　She certainly did it, otherwise she wouldn't have gone from a "hunter" to a (demon).

　"Next, who's next?"

　When everyone fell silent, Principal Arte broke the silence.

　“I’ll do it,” Professor Jones said. “Let me see my entire imperial destiny.”

　"Heh." Professor Sylph gave a cold laugh and handed her "Scotty's Quill".

　Following the guidance of "Scody's Quill," they changed locations and arrived at a certain place on the fourth floor of the castle.

　They led Professor Jones into the trial and continued their nightly conversation.

　Principal Arte summoned the "Food Card," which spread tea and pastries on the table, and everyone ate and chatted.

　With Lily around, these spontaneous nighttime conversations became much more interesting.

　Midway through the conversation, Professor Lily suddenly glanced around and said furtively, "Do you know what I've discovered?"

　Her actions instantly drew everyone's attention. Everyone immediately perked up their ears to listen.

　Then I heard Professor Lily whisper, "I went to the dense forest a few days ago... I was investigating in the dense forest and accidentally came to a monster village... They were building a temple and carving statues of gods!"

　She had barely begun when Professor Cazell knew what she was going to say and shook his head with a wry smile.

　He had originally intended to keep the monsters' secret, but he didn't expect it to be exposed before the night was even over.

　"Oh, what kind of temple are they building?" Dark asked, intrigued.

　Lily said smugly, "What else could it be? Of course, it's the temple of the god of wisdom!" Dark suddenly realized, "The temple of the god of wisdom? They were born because of the god of wisdom, so it's only natural that they worship him. That statue must be the statue of Ergane."

　Lily said, "Exactly. But their materials don't look very good, so how about we send some over?"

　"Build a temple?" Principal Arte pondered for a moment before saying, "Building a temple in the dense forest is feasible. However, it is not advisable to announce this to the outside world for the time being. Even if the temple is completed, we will need to wait for a suitable opportunity."

　Professor Sylph nodded. "Building the temple itself is not a problem. Ergani also needs a temple if she wants to increase her power as quickly as possible. Our 'Serpent of Wisdom' organization is an apostle of the Serpent of Wisdom. Since the monsters want to build a temple, let them build it. However, the specific blueprints, materials, style, and location selection all need to be carefully considered before implementation. My suggestion is to let Ergani herself take the lead. What do you think?" Professor Kazel blinked and raised his hand in agreement.

　Unexpectedly, this temple construction plan, which was originally classified as confidential, was finalized in just a few words.

　"It's certainly a good idea to let Ergani herself take the lead. The monsters should be happy to accept it... or rather, they'd love to."

　Professor Kazel pondered for a moment, then spoke up: "This temple cannot be built like an ordinary temple. After all, ordinary temples worship idols, but our gods are right beside us. Therefore, the temple should be built to its original purpose, with the purpose of being a dwelling place for the gods."

　Dark couldn't help but laugh, "Is this to build a castle for Ergani?" Professor Kazel immediately laughed, "That's exactly it."

　“Don’t laugh.” Professor Sylph pointed at Dark. “You and Ergane will go to the forest to choose a site later.”

　Dark's smile froze instantly: "Professor, I'm very busy..."

　Professor Sylph glared at him and said, "Take responsibility."

　Dak couldn't help but sigh, "Fine, I'll squeeze in."

　What's that saying again? Cats are like sponges, you can always squeeze some out.

　The topic of temple construction had barely begun when Professor Jones had already completed his hidden trial and emerged from the black vortex.

　She quickly made a "fate charm," sealed her "fate" into it, and then sat down with a sigh on her face.

　Professor Sylph sneered, "Have you cleared the game, Your Majesty?" Professor Jones said sadly, "From now on, call me Hero."

　Although she is the head of a branch of the Noble Academy, anyone who knows her even slightly can guess that she will most likely trigger the Knight Academy's hidden trial.

　As expected, Professor Jones was granted the title of "Hero".

　However, for these professors, "fate" itself is dispensable; it's more like collecting treasures, something to be prepared for any eventuality.

　Furthermore, after their testing and investigation, it was basically confirmed that the hidden trial system was without problems, and only then could it be given to the students for use.

　Professor Jones sat down and casually recounted her trial mission. She had experienced a battle in the trial world, and the mission requirement was simple: to win that battle.

　That battle is very famous in history and is a classic example of fighting with fewer troops against a larger force.

　Professor Jones plays the role of a minority general whose goal is to defeat an enemy force ten times his size.

　Then, in that battle, she single-handedly put on a legendary show of "fighting against ten thousand men."

　In an era of extraordinary power, numbers have never been the standard for measuring combat strength.

　In a battle fought by ordinary people, Professor Jones is an army in himself.

　She slaughtered everyone on the battlefield, terrifying the enemy army, and soon they collapsed and fled in terror.

　After she finished speaking, Professor Haldelbold said, "Next, it's my turn."

　It seems that Professor Lily and Professor Jones's trial experience has indeed piqued his interest.

　Otherwise, Professor Bode would not usually speak up on his own initiative.

　After Professor Sylph accepted, she handed "Scotty's Quill" to Professor Bode.

　Professor Bode activated the "quill pen" and quickly triggered the hidden trial under its guidance.

　Once he entered the trial world, everyone couldn't help but discuss, "I wonder which house's trial Professor Bod will trigger?"

　"I don't know, I don't know," Professor Lily shook her head repeatedly.

　“It should be the Magic Academy too,” Professor Sylph said. “Professor Bode is very knowledgeable, especially in linguistics, so he will most likely trigger the Magic Academy’s trials.”

　“I also think it’s the Magic Academy,” Professor Mitya said. “However, aren’t there a lot more of you who have obtained the ‘Sage’ destiny?”

　Professor Sylph shook her head and smiled, "After all, we are academy professors, so the probability of us triggering the Magic Academy Trials is higher."

　Professor Mitya said, "It seems I'll most likely be accepted into the Magic Academy too."

　Professor Sylph said, "The fortune teller's words, the Fool's House..." Professor Mitya laughed, "I am no fool."

　Of course, she knew that the "Fool" in the Fool's House wasn't literal. Even the so-called "Fool's" destiny could actually be called a "Tarot" destiny, which was indeed suitable for a fortune teller.

　However, it is uncertain which academy's destiny she will trigger; "The Fool" or "The Sage" are both acceptable.

　At this moment, Professor Jones suddenly said, "I say, Professor Bode is a professor at the House of Fools, after all. He might trigger the House of Fools' hidden trial."

　As soon as she finished speaking, Dark immediately agreed, "Speaking of which, I also think Professor Bod will trigger the hidden trial of the House of Fools."

　"Why?" Professor Sylph asked curiously. Dark smiled and said, "A man's intuition."

　Just ten minutes later, Professor Bode emerged from the trial world.

　He passed the hidden trial without a doubt.

　After a few questions, everyone learned that he had actually triggered the hidden trial of the Fool's House.

　"What kind of mission is the hidden trial in the Fool's House?" Professor Mitia asked curiously.

　Professor Bode thought for a moment and said, "I entered the trial world and appeared in a debate arena. My opponents are three very famous debaters in history. I need to win the debates one by one in order to pass the trial."

　Professor Mitya frowned slightly and said, "This sounds like a trial at the Magic Academy."

　“Yes, that’s what I thought at first too,” Professor Bode said. “But all three debate topics are related to the mysteries of nature.”

　"The mysteries of nature..." Professor Mitya said with a hint of understanding, "Then how did you beat the game?"

　Professor Bode paused for a moment, then said, "I killed them all."

　Professor Mitis: "..." "Dead men cannot be argued with."

　Although the hidden trials will create different themed tasks based on different academies, how to pass the trials and complete the tasks is entirely up to you, and you don't necessarily have to do anything that fits the theme.

　Professor Bode's experiment perfectly proved this theory. However, his method of passing the test also caused the atmosphere to suddenly become tense, making him a true atmosphere spoiler.

　"It's just me left, so let me, Mitia, bring to a perfect end to tonight's events."

　Professor Mitia stood up, took the "Scootie's Quill" from Professor Sylph's hand, and activated it casually.

　"Scotti's quill pen" is a diviner's tool.

　But in this day and age, even the most powerful divination tools are useless. Any fortune teller who dares to spout nonsense is basically a fraud. Genuine fortune tellers have learned to be cautious in their words and actions.
