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

　Even Professor Mitis felt she was on the verge of unemployment. "I might as well teach astronomy at St. Marian College," she sometimes couldn't help but think.

　The "Scotty's Quill" emitted a silvery glow, and after spinning two and a half times, it pointed in one direction.

　Following the guidance of the "quill pen," Professor Mitia arrived at a certain spot on the sixth floor of the castle and successfully triggered a hidden trial.

　She returned the quill to Professor Sylph and went straight into the Trial World.

　The conversation continued into the night.

　Let's continue with the topic of temple construction.

　While building the temple to the god of wisdom, Dak proposed building a secondary temple to the "Serpent God".

　After all, St. Marian Academy has more than one god, and they can't afford to neglect one for the other. This proposal is so reasonable that no one could possibly object. However, since they're going to build a temple for Nix, they should naturally consult Nix's opinion.

　However, since Nix herself did not offer any advice, it is necessary to consult Nix's guardian.

　So this task was once again assigned to Dark.

　Dakdimon's "self-inflicted trouble" drew chuckles from everyone.

　Of course, the construction of the temple could not be solely the responsibility of Dark; he was merely "in charge," and the specific details had to be handled by professionals.

　Professor Mitia's trial lasted a little longer than expected.

　Nearly an hour later, she emerged from the trial world, looking somewhat disheveled.

　"How is it?" Professor Sylph asked with concern.

　Professor Mitya looked up, grinned, and said, "No problem, we successfully obtained the 'Fool's' destiny."

　Following Professor Steven Harvey and Professor Haldelbot, yet another professor has successfully completed the hidden trials of the Fool's House.

　As a result, the hidden trials of the Knights' Academy and the Noble Academy have become increasingly rare.

　Professor Mitia created a "fate charm" to seal the "Fool's" fate, then sat down among the crowd and exhaled a long breath.

　"The trial is difficult," Professor Sylph asked. Professor Mitya shook her head slightly: "Not difficult."

　"Even if it's not difficult, it will still take an hour," Professor Sylph scoffed. Professor Mitya glared at her and said, "Do you understand emotional intelligence?" Professor Sylph replied coldly, "No."

　Professor Mitya said, "I'll give you a copy of 'Emotional Intelligence' for your birthday."

　"Stop fooling around, just tell me," Professor Jones urged.

　"Then allow me to have a sip of tea first, and then I will explain in detail." Professor Mitia immediately adopted a posture of giving a long speech.

　No one reminded her to cut to the chase just because it was getting late.

　She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and sure enough, began to tell her story. It is said that Professor Mitia entered the Trial World and immediately appeared on the Star Tower.

　Yes, she had arrived at the place she knew best. And at this point in time...

　A certain "Night of Prophecy".

　Her trial task is to complete a "perfect prophecy" and defeat her opponents in the field of divination.

　And her opponent in the trial was none other than Edgar Swift, the tower master of the "Star Tower"!

　At this point, Professor Mitia couldn't help but let out a smug laugh. She had encountered the young Star Tower Master in the Trial World. And her role was that of another Star Tower Diviner who had lost the competition to become the Tower Master to Edgar Swift.

　She had heard about that competition when she was in the Star Tower. Edgar Swift performed perfectly on that "Night of Prophecy," which is how she defeated her strongest opponent and became the current master of the Star Tower.

　But now she has returned to that era and become the Tower Master's rival. She will defeat Edgar Swift with her "Perfect Prophecy" and become the Tower Master of the "Star Tower"!

　The thought of this filled Mitis with immense excitement.

　Edgar Swift was always picking on her; she had long wanted to wrest his bird spot from her.

　This is unrealistic in reality, but in the trial world, she was free to do as she pleased.

　Mitia is well-versed in history and has an excellent grasp of various historical periods. Not to mention that she is a diviner with the Eye of the Stars, she can easily create "perfect prophecies" even without divination.

　Therefore, she was very confident at the beginning of the trial and participated in the Night of Prophecy with a mindset of "retaliation".

　Then she paid the price for her contempt.

　All I can say is that the master of the tower is the master of the tower; Edgar Swift is truly talented.

　He made a "perfect prophecy" on that particular night of prophecy in history, thus becoming famous worldwide.

　Mitia wants to defeat him on that night of prophecy. In addition to making a "perfect prophecy" herself, she must also destroy Edgar Swift's "perfect prophecy".

　There are many ways to break a prophecy.

　The simplest method is to misinterpret.

　But that's basically useless to the tower master of the "Star Tower." The only thing that can truly shatter its prophecy is changing the future!

　After being rebuffed, Professor Mitia resolutely chose this most difficult but most effective method.

　She wants to change the future through prophecy.

　"Now that I've finally managed to go back to the past, how could I possibly give up this incredibly precious opportunity?"

　"Defeat Edgar Swift head-on and make him admit defeat; that's what I have to do!"

　"What? You're asking me if I've thought about what would happen if I lost?"

　"Of course I've thought about it. If I lose, I can just hold another trial," Mitia grinned, extremely smug.

　She was laughing because she was in an invincible position from the start, and also because she ultimately succeeded in achieving all her goals.

　Under normal circumstances, encountering even one hidden trial is already considered a stroke of luck.

　Therefore, after failing a trial once, there is basically no chance for a second trial.

　But now that the academy has found a way to definitively trigger the trial, it can be tried as many times as needed.

　Therefore, Professor Mitia wasn't afraid at all.

　She maneuvered skillfully on the night of prophecy, attracting everyone's attention and drawing the spotlight to herself.

　She gained the trust of most people through her early prophecies, and then changed the minds of some people through her prophecies, making their behavior inconsistent with the future, thus becoming a butterfly that stirs up a storm and influences future changes.

　This ability to control timelines is something that, under normal circumstances, could never exist in a human being.

　But Professor Mitia was well-versed in history and knew perfectly well what Edgar Swift had divined on this night of prophecy.

　Moreover, she herself is an outstanding fortune teller, and even in a head-on confrontation, she would not be inferior to Edgar Swift in her youth.

　But this trial was indeed too difficult.

　She not only needs to do her best, but also needs to disrupt her opponent's divination in order to achieve victory.

　Therefore, there is no hope of winning by simply going head-to-head.

　She must reveal the other side of the prophet, completely transforming into the "mastermind," in order to win this trial.

　Despite the immense effort it took, Professor Mitia had indeed succeeded. At that moment, she felt as if she had been elevated, her stagnant divination skills had broken through, and a wondrous feeling welled up within her, giving her an urge to immediately return to the Star Tower and fight the Tower Master once more.

　However, returning to reality, fortune tellers are about to become a relic of the past.

　Professor Mitia snapped out of her daze and continued to savor the joy of victory.

　And then.

　Someone couldn't accept defeat and flipped the table!

　"That's right, Edgar Swift!"

　Professor Mitia hastily withdrew from the trial, looking utterly disheveled.

　But she didn't flee in disarray; instead, she returned victorious.

　After she finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

　Feeling everyone's gaze focused on her face, Professor Mitia subconsciously touched her cheek, but there was nothing dirty.

　"What's wrong, everyone?" she asked.

　“It’s nothing,” Dark said quietly. “It just feels like this is what a trial should be like.”

　The so-called "trial" is both a test and a training.

　package

　Including Dak, the professors were only completing the "tests" when they passed the trials, but they lost sight of the purpose of "training".

　Only Professor Mydia completed both the test and the training. She was the one who truly passed the trial.

　After hearing her story, Dak suddenly realized that he and his companions had only regarded the hidden trial as a way to obtain rewards (destiny), and had ignored the true meaning of the trial.

　Trials are supposed to be a form of self-cultivation to hone one's skills.

　Clearly, the professors realized their mistakes. But it wasn't too late.

　After all, it's really difficult for them to gain anything from the trials. The hidden trials didn't serve as a whetstone for them either. Dark did learn something from the hidden trials, but it was of no use to his future plans.

　Hidden trials are not suitable for everyone.

　If the problem is discovered at this point, it can be used as a reminder when the hidden trial is opened to students later, thus fulfilling the "training" purpose of the trial.

　"I had a modest harvest today."

　Finally, Principal Arte clapped her hands, bringing the event to a perfect close.

　The professors agreed to open the first batch of trials on Monday evening and then dispersed to return to their dormitories.

　Dak was on guard, but encountered no danger. He quickly returned to his dormitory, then washed up, changed clothes, practiced his cultivation, and went to sleep. It was late, and he had classes the next day; he had to race against time.

　Noon the next day.

　Dak arrived at the office and summoned all the lower-grade contestants.

　Although one person who wasn't a contestant had infiltrated this group, Darke still proceeded with his explanation.

　"The hidden trial is an excellent opportunity to hone your skills. Don't take shortcuts to obtain 'Destiny Points.' There are many opportunities to pass the trial; if you fail the first time, there will be a second, and after that, a third. There will always be a moment to pass the trial."

　"Also, those who don't want their destiny to be obscured should quickly acquire the 'Destiny Symbol.' Those who don't care about this can come to the left, and I'll take a look."

　After Dark finished speaking quickly, the younger students all got to work. But amidst the slightly noisy chatter, only Wittgold and Robert, who was with Wittgold, walked to the left.

　The rest of the people, even Emma and Sarah, didn't go to the left. In Dark's eyes, both of them had the potential to become "Sages." But they clearly didn't want the "Sage" destiny to overshadow their own, even though they didn't know what their own destiny was.

　The reason Vittor Gordes stood up was because the "heroic" destiny of the Knights' Academy was what he pursued.

　As for Robert... well, it doesn't really matter. In short, Darke will respect everyone's choice.

　He continued, "Then, those who have mastered the method of making the 'Destiny Talisman', please stand on the right."

　So some of them gradually moved to the right.

　Besides Diana and Rose, there are also Emma, ​​Sarah, and Aurora.

　Dark nodded: "Then the first batch of trial participants tonight will be the seven of you."

　The hidden trials at St. Marian Academy are clearly more suitable for students in lower grades.

　Therefore, the first batch of spots was originally intended to be selected from the lower grade group of contestants.

　As for Robert... one more or one less makes no difference, so it doesn't really matter.

　"Those who haven't yet learned the 'Destiny Talisman,' take advantage of the lunch break to quickly find and resolve your problems."

　Dark spent the entire noon explaining things to the contestants. This gave him a strange feeling that although he was no longer a professor, he was still a professor.

　Later in the afternoon, Dak continued to the teachers' dormitory to discuss the temple with Ergani.

　As for Aurora, he plans to communicate with her after the trial ends tonight.

　Although it's called communication, it's actually just a temporary notification.

　Because there was no specific itinerary planned, and Dak was indeed very busy during this period.

　His idea was to wait until after the academy competition was over before going to explore the dense forest together.

　He wouldn't object if Ergani wanted to go and check it out by herself first.

　Soon after.

　Dak then went to the teachers' dormitory and entered his own room.

　Ergani has been in seclusion for a long time. Apart from watching the matches on weekends and having "God's Inspiration" play music, she has basically been in a state of "high-speed self-study".

　Her knowledge is growing at an alarming rate.

　When Dak entered the dormitory, he suddenly discovered that the layout of the dormitory had changed significantly.
