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

　"Is this what it feels like to be devoured by a spirit-sucking monster?"

　Surprisingly, it wasn't as scary as I thought.

　"It's not that hopeless."

　"Speaking of despair..."

　Suddenly, Witt clutched his chest, his breathing becoming increasingly labored, his chest feeling as if it were blocked with lead.

　Something is coming!

　His instinct for danger kicked in again, and his hands instinctively reached out to raise.

　Suddenly his eyes lit up.

　"Clap!"

　The spirit-devouring monster was pulled away in time!

　Only when he felt the wind blowing in his face did Victor realize that his back was already icy cold.

　……

　The students in the audience can see it more directly.

　Just now, the ghost-like spirit-devouring monster pounced in front of Witt, its black hole in its mouth suddenly opening wide.

　Then a clump of gray, bubble-like substance was sucked out of Witt's face.

　The spirit-devouring monster was biting the gray bubble, desperately pulling it outwards. It looked as if it were pulling a soul out of a person's brain, which was terrifying.

　During this process, black threads gradually emerged from the black holes in the eyes of the spirit-devouring monster, reaching towards Witt's skull like tentacles.

　And in that very instant.

　Professor Nini suddenly grabbed the monster's head and squeezed it hard, causing its mouth to open. Then she pulled it away.

　The memory that had been freed from the control of the spirit-devouring monster naturally returned to Witt's mind.

　Witt then regained his senses.

　The whole process seemed uneventful at first glance, but that was because everything was under Professor Nini's control, and there was only one spirit-devouring monster present.

　The spirit-sucking monsters in the dungeon always come in hordes!

　To effectively deal with spirit-draining monsters, besides relying on companions, one must have a resilient mind that can quickly recover from the confusion of having happy memories sucked away.

　Having had the experience of having one's memories absorbed makes it easier to recover from confusion.

　Therefore, it is necessary to undergo this level of training before venturing into the dungeon.

　"how do you feel?"

　Professor Nini stared wide-eyed at Victor, hoping her brave student would answer: It's no big deal!

　That way she can lure the students over one by one... Well, how can you call it luring?

　It's a normal experience!

　……

　But at this moment, Victor felt ice-cold all over. The sudden return of his memories made him realize what he had just lost.

　He stood there stunned for a long while before finally speaking under Professor Nini's anxious gaze: "Not very good."

　Upon hearing this, Professor Nini's expression fell.

　But Witt failed to notice: "When you're being drained by a spirit-devouring monster, the most precious things will slip away from your mind without you even realizing it. You won't even notice that you've lost them... but that's the most terrifying thing... If the spirit-devouring isn't interrupted, you might really lose them forever..."

　"Is it that scary?"

　Professor Nini held the spirit-devouring monster up to her face and shook it, not quite understanding.

　But Witt had already rallied his spirits: "So we must never underestimate the spirit-devouring monsters. If we have the chance to enter the dungeon, we must be extremely careful!"

　"Alright," Professor Nini said, pursing her lips. "Victor Gold gets five points. Anyone else want to come up and try it out? There are bonus points!"

　But the students below the stage looked at each other blankly, and no one responded.

　……

　Witt walked down the aisle and finally returned to his seat.

　Robert quickly asked, "Is it really that terrifying? That spirit-sucking monster?"

　Witt was still shaken: "If you don't believe me, you can go and experience it for yourself. With Professor Nini around, at least it's safe."

　Robert shook his head vigorously: "Of course I believe you!"

　……

　The words of the son of a hero do have some credibility.

　Professor Nini looked at her students with longing, finding herself in an awkward situation once again.

　If it were any other professor at this point, they would definitely call on a student to come up and experience it, or they would simply line up and have them come up one by one!

　But Professor Nini clearly lacked that confidence.

　She could only turn to Emma and Dark, who had helped her many times before.

　Emma, ​​sitting in the front row, naturally became the best person to ask for help.

　But Emma is just a twelve-year-old girl after all; if it were anything else, it would be fine.

　The way this spirit-devouring monster feeds on memories is truly terrifying!

　What's wrong with a girl being afraid of the dark and ghosts?

　Actively seek out and experience it?

　impossible!

　Emma shook her head even more vigorously than Robert.

　The other girls weren't much better than her.

　As soon as Professor Nini's gaze swept over them, the girls instinctively shrank back, afraid of being called upon by her.

　The boys were certainly better off, but their instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm prevented them from raising their hands.

　Ultimately, who would want to experience something like this if they had nothing better to do?

　Professor Nini should be more assertive, put on her professorial airs, and order them to come up on stage in an unquestionable tone!

　slowly.

　Professor Nini's gaze swept across the front row and landed on Robert in the last row. But Robert, on whom she had placed such high hopes, quickly lowered his head, pretending not to know anything.

　Professor Nini puffed out her cheeks and looked at the last straw.

　Dak blinked.

　Professor Nini, with nowhere to turn for help, reminded him of the magical sprites and cat grass in his dormitory.

　As for responding to Professor Nini's expectations...

　It's not that he's afraid to go up, it's that he's afraid the spirit monster won't dare to absorb it!

　"Why don't you give it a try, Diana?"

　"Eh?"

　Diana shook her head violently: "It's disgusting!"

　Dark explained, "You have to experience it eventually. Soul-draining monsters move silently and are hard to avoid in the dungeon. But they are fragile. Once you've experienced that feeling beforehand, you won't be so easily bewitched and can recover quickly... well, then slap them to death!"

　Diana clicked her tongue, somewhat reluctant.

　But she was always very obedient: "Okay then."

　Professor Nini was pleasantly surprised to see that someone else had raised their hand!

　……

　Diana walked up to the podium and observed Professor Nini up close, only to discover that Professor Nini's thighs were thicker than her entire body.

　But this behemoth has a heart as timid and sensitive as that of a small animal.

　She has a natural affinity for animals and can vaguely sense things that others cannot.

　"Professor, we can begin."

　Unlike Witt, Diana did not close her eyes, but stared wide-eyed at the spirit-devouring monster.

　She wanted to watch this spirit-absorbing monster suck out her memories, and then take a good look at what color her memory bubbles were.

　"It should be pink, right? It can't be gray like Witt's, can it? That would be awful!"

　Suddenly, her expression changed as she saw the spirit-absorbing monster lunging at her.

　She wasn't scared, she just felt disgusted.

　The spirit-devouring monster suddenly stopped in front of her, its black, hole-like eyes staring intently at her, staring back at her.

　Immediately afterwards, Diana saw the spirit-devourer suddenly open its mouth and inhale.

　Without her noticing, something was sucked out of her face.

　Those things condensed into gray bubbles, which were sucked into the mouth of the spirit-absorbing monster and gradually stretched and deformed.

　"It's still gray."

　Diana said with some disappointment.

　The spirit-absorbing monster suddenly froze, then, as if it had been humiliated, let out a sharp shriek.

　The black hole vortex in its eyes suddenly accelerated, the suction force in its mouth suddenly exploded, and its entire head tilted back.

　The gray bubble of memory suddenly grew bigger and bigger!

　But Diana just stared at the bubbles with curiosity, completely oblivious to anything else.

　As the only one in the Greta Bay family who could be described as the "apple of everyone's eye," she grew up happily under the care of her family elders since birth.

　There are just too many happy memories in my mind.

　With the size of a single spirit-absorbing monster, it simply cannot absorb all of them!

　That tiny bubble of memory is nothing to her!

　"Ahhh!"

　Enraged, the spirit-devouring monster suddenly lunged at Diana's head with black threads emanating from its eyes.

　These black threads will replace empty memories and create desperate nightmares.

　But Diana's eyes flickered, and she suddenly jumped up and slapped hard!

　"Snapped!"

　A tremendous force suddenly struck the spirit-absorbing monster's cheek, and its entire head was smashed into a pancake!

　The memory bubble it had sucked into its mouth popped out and simply flowed back into Diana's mind.

　Diana happily rubbed the spirit-absorbing monster's head and exclaimed excitedly, "It's so weak!"

　……

　Witt: “…”

　Robert: "..."

　Emma: "..."

　Boy: "..."

　girl:"……"

　……

　Poor spirit-devouring monster.

　It fell into the bear's paw.

　Anxious.

　……
