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

　Robert frowned, racking his brains: "Did I hear someone say that before?"

　Witt: "Don't you often go to military camps? Perhaps the veterans have told you something."

　Robert: "Maybe... but that felt really good!"

　Witt: "Uh..."

　……

　Robert's sudden enthusiasm did not attract much attention.

　After all, not many people know him, and everyone has their own strengths. Perhaps he just happens to know this particular knowledge?

　As for Professor Nini's lectures, they were actually quite boring.

　But the students, seeing such a tall man using a childish voice to earnestly explain knowledge, unexpectedly found it interesting.

　And halfway through the class, Professor Nini suddenly pulled a jar out of her little bag and excitedly said, "For today's lecture, I... I specially went to the dungeon to catch a magical beast. Today's main topic is explaining this magical beast, so everyone must listen carefully. Because today's homework is to write a short paper about this magical beast."

　Then she muttered to herself, "Aunt Sylph said that homework is always assigned after class!"

　Emma and the others in the front row heard it all clearly, and several of them immediately turned pale.

　Professor Nini was clearly very happy when she talked about this. She picked up the jar with two fingers, shook her head vigorously, and then listened to a sound: It's still alive!

　Then she said happily, "Can anyone guess what kind of monster is in the jar? I can give you a hint: it's very common in dungeons, but also very dangerous."

　After she finished speaking, she stared longingly at the students below the stage, glancing at Robert every now and then.

　But this time, not only Robert, but even the students who were familiar with Warcraft were completely baffled.

　There's no way around it; there are just too many monsters in the dungeons, and every single one of them is extremely dangerous...

　Professor Nini is frighteningly naive!

　……

　"Is she even dumber than me?"

　Even Diana looked skeptical.

　Rose quickly nudged her arm and whispered, "You can't say that about the professor."

　Diana: "Okay!"

　……

　Professor Nini waited for a long time but no one raised their hand, and her thick eyebrows drooped down.

　Feeling pitiful, helpless, and wanting to cry.

　Suddenly her eyes lit up when she saw someone raise their hand in the last row of the classroom by the window!

　The blond boy, with a helpless expression, stood up after being called upon.

　“Dark Dimon? I know you!”

　Professor Nini exclaimed excitedly.

　Okay, I know you know me.

　Dark had to remind her, "Professor Nini, you should provide more clues! There are just too many common and dangerous monsters in the dungeon! If you're referring to monsters that beginners often encounter, like the Mud Monster, then its strong body odor would be a good clue. If it's another kind of monster—the Mana Drain Monster—then its ability to absorb mana would make it easier to associate with it."

　Professor Nini blinked hard: "It seems so..."

　Seeing that she seemed to understand, Dak sat down.

　Professor Nini: "Then, the new clue is that it can drive people to despair!"

　……

　The classroom was quiet.

　After all, if you encounter danger in the dungeon, even a single monster can drive you to despair...

　Professor Nini looked at the students below the stage with anticipation, but as expected, not a single person raised their hand.

　Her eyebrows furrowed again.

　Dark had no choice but to intervene again, saying, "Professor Nini, could that jar contain a variant of the mana-sucking monster—a spirit-sucking monster?"

　"Thank you!" Professor Nini said quickly, as if grasping at a straw. "Dark Dimon adds five points!"

　Then she picked up the jar and flipped it over forcefully.

　In an instant, a gray shadow darted out from it!

　But Professor Nini casually grabbed its tail, pulled hard, and slammed it onto the table with a "thud"!

　The spirit-absorbing monster, almost flattened, raised its head, dizzy, and immediately let out a sharp scream!

　It's the excitement of seeing food, and even more so, the madness of smelling deliciousness.

　The spirit-devouring monster was gray all over, like a ghost, and its distorted face had three black holes that could never be filled!

　They are greedy and despicable, they will suck away all happiness and leave behind endless despair!

　In his earlier efforts to address the issue of major sins, Dak had researched related materials.

　But the pleasure that the spirit-absorbing monster absorbs is not actually emotion, but memory.

　It sucks away happy memories and then pours in terrible memories in the form of nightmares, causing people to die in despair in their sleep.

　This is the spirit-devouring monster!

　"Anyone want to come up and give it a try?"

　So when Professor Nini said that, Dark was surprised.

　"Don't be afraid. A single spirit-absorbing monster can't absorb memories very well. Besides, even if the memories are really absorbed, you can squeeze them out by pressing on the spirit-absorbing monster's abdomen like this."

　Professor Nini spoke boldly in a timid tone, then demonstrated by lifting the monster's body upside down, pinching its tail between two fingers, and stroking it hard from the tip of its tail to the tip of its mouth!

　The spirit-absorbing monster let out a scream and was sliced ​​into a thin sheet.

　But as soon as you let go, it swells up again.

　Professor Nini shook the spirit-absorbing monster and said, "Spirit-absorbing monsters are very common magical beasts in dungeons. They are very dangerous, but also very fragile. Especially when absorbing memories, they are completely defenseless and can be killed with just one strike. Experiencing the feeling of having your memories sucked out beforehand will help you deal with them calmly when you encounter them."

　What she said did make some sense.

　But in this situation, even students of the Knights Academy...

　Oh my god, someone actually raised their hand!

　It's him, it's him, it's him!

　Human beings have never lacked brave souls who dare to court death!

　Witt Gold!

　Let's welcome the Son of the Hero to the stage!

　clap clap clap!

　……

Chapter 230 The Soul-Sucking Monster Wasted His Life (4k)

　Under everyone's gaze, Witt took a deep breath and got up from his seat.

　During the time he joined the cult, he was able to release his stress and his mental state improved somewhat.

　In addition, the members of the cult were mostly older students who were older than him—although they all had psychological problems, they were all incredibly skilled at teaching.

　With their psychological counseling, Witt gradually realized the nature of his problems.

　→He really lacks initiative!

　His excessive passivity was the main reason he failed to achieve success last semester.

　At the beginning of the school year, he passively accepted the convenience that came with his identity.

　When he was adored by the entire school as the son of a hero, he didn't show it on the surface, but his mind was already on cloud nine.

　Afterwards, he did not actively maintain this convenience, nor did he try to make himself more worthy of this identity.

　Instead, he became less and less like a good student, along with Robert.

　At one point, he reflected on his actions, but mistakenly attributed his failure to Robert's influence!

　While the influence is undeniable, it's true that a person's environment can indeed change them.

　But the main reason is that he himself wasn't proactive enough!

　Instead of reflecting on his own actions, he subconsciously shifted the blame, as if he would become more diligent and hardworking without Robert's presence.

　Actually not.

　Ultimately, all of this stems from his own personality.

　Since birth, he has never truly taken the initiative to strive for anything.

　I've always been going with the flow.

　Even if someone sets their sights on Darko for a period of time, thinking about catching up with him and surpassing him, they don't actually put in enough effort to achieve it.

　If we're talking about the only time I've ever taken initiative, it's probably when it comes to adventuring and treasure hunting.

　Now, it's time for a change!

　A new semester, a new atmosphere, and this is the perfect opportunity!

　He needs to take the initiative and actively strive for it.

　Whether it's achievements, victories, or people you like!

　Change yourself, starting today.

　……

　Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Witt walked onto the podium, his small body standing in Professor Nini's shadow, but suddenly felt a little apprehensive.

　The feeling might not be so clear when you're sitting in your seat. But once you're actually next to Professor Nini, you'll realize just how enormous she is!

　And that "little jar" in her hand, which looked like a toy, was actually half a person tall!

　As for that spirit-absorbing monster she could manipulate at will...

　Witt couldn't help but swallow, his throat bulging slightly.

　Was it originally this big?

　……

　Professor Nini looked at Victor with delight. She recognized the hero's son, and seeing that he seemed a little scared, she quickly said, "Don't be afraid, the spirit-devouring monster won't bite!"

　Am I afraid it will bite?

　Witt's face darkened, but his tense mood unexpectedly eased.

　The spirit-sucking monster, however, lunged at the human child after smelling his scent.

　The black holes on its face swirled inward, appearing even more profound, as if trying to suck everything in their path.

　But Professor Nini held onto its tail firmly, preventing it from touching Vittoria no matter what.

　Witt was wary, but now that he was on stage, he couldn't back down. So he tilted his head back, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Come on!"

　As the saying goes, life is like being targeted by a clingy woman; since you can't resist, you have to learn to enjoy it.

　As my eyelids closed and darkness enveloped my vision, my heart gradually calmed down.

　As Witt stood on the podium, he suddenly remembered when he first came to the academy, standing on the stage of the auditorium in front of all the students, receiving their cheers.

　That was probably the second happiest moment of his life!

　The happiest person, of course, was the one who cracked the hero's secret treasure and obtained the "Holy Sword Curse"... When was that again?

　Witt suddenly opened his eyes.

　All he could see was a gray blur before his eyes, with only the vague shadows of the spirit-devouring monster and Professor Nini.

　His entire face looked like it was glued on and then pulled outwards.

　It didn't hurt, but I felt a bit suffocated.
