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

　He then followed Professor Lily's instructions and went into a deeper level.

　"Equations come in many forms; what I just described are only linear equations in one variable. Besides these, there are..."

　Linear equations in two variables, quadratic equations in two variables, etc., can also be used to form systems of equations to solve for multiple unknowns.

　When discussing quadratic equations, we must also talk about exponentiation, or "power".

　With the definition of "power", we then need to talk about "base", "exponent", and "square root".

　Darke spoke fluently, and Professor Lily listened attentively; a fundamental model of mathematical operations was thus established.

　It gradually took shape through their interactions.

　The further she read, the more shocked Professor Lily became.

　From the introduction of the concept of "power," she discovered some extremely complex calculations that utilized...

　After the "power" symbol, it's as if a straight road has suddenly been folded up, making the starting point and the endpoint suddenly become close!

　Clearly, this is a concept far beyond addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division!

　Professor Lily originally only wanted to extract an algorithm from Darker, something like "vertical calculation method".

　Unexpectedly, I obtained something even more remarkable.

　She thought carefully, then suddenly took out paper and pen from the drawer and wrote down various complex questions out of thin air.

　Introducing the concept of "power" and then solving it using equations makes the whole process incredibly smooth and comfortable.

　"Superficial!"

　She looked up, her face flushed, only to find that the sofa was empty.

　To avoid going to his afternoon History of Magic class on an empty stomach, Dark chose to eat a light snack halfway through.

　That's it, the yo-yo.

　Seeing how Professor Lily could apply her knowledge to new situations and integrate concepts simply by understanding a few definitions, Dark actually...

　I'm somewhat envious; perhaps that's what a true genius is!

　Upon arriving at the cafeteria, he ordered a steak and a meat pie, quickly finished eating in the empty cafeteria, and then hurriedly rushed to the classroom for the history of magic.

　When he entered through the back door, the classroom was already full of people.

　As usual, Victor and Robert, who were sitting by the back door, looked over curiously, surprised that he was so late.

　However, Witt's competitive spirit towards Darke grew stronger, and he had already given up on his plan to improve his favorability towards Darke, so he didn't strike up a conversation.

　Robert, however, wasn't so hesitant and immediately said, "Hey, Dark, where have you been? You're only just arriving now."

　Dark turned and smiled, "I discussed some issues with Professor Lily."

　Robert: "Oh."

　Victor couldn't help but ask, "Is it related to the class this morning?"

　“Yes.” Dark nodded and continued walking, quickly returning to his seat.

　Not long after, the bell rang for class.

　Professor Ryan Hawkes, the history of magic, walked in leaning on his cane.

　He still wore a broken prosthetic leg, walking with a limp, but the expression between his brows and his entire being...

　People's demeanor is quite different from when they arrived.

　Just one week of academy life had shed his heavy, aged air, and his brows also...

　He regained some of his composure.

　But what attracted the students most was that his almost bald head had grown back!

　"professor!"

　A knight academy student in the front row couldn't help but raise his hand and say, "Your hair!"

　Professor Ryan Hawkes raised his intact hand and brushed his dark brown bangs back—slightly…

　He said smugly, "Theodore, you need to relearn what manners are."

　“Okay, Professor.” Theodore mumbled as he sat down.

　Professor Hax then said, "I was just doing an experiment with Sister Kallian. Oh, she called it a hair growth potion!"

　“So it was a lab rat,” Dark blinked. “Professor Hawkes shouldn’t be too happy too soon. If hair growth potions were so easy to develop, there wouldn’t be so many bald people among the nobles.”

　However, Professor Hawkes, with his thick brown hair, did indeed look quite good after shaving off his beard.

　It has the flavor of an older, handsome man.

　After Professor Hax stepped onto the podium, he continued the lecture from the previous session, resuming the discussion he had not yet finished.

　War stories.

　Unfortunately, while the Golden Generation, led by the Hero, were making great strides on the battlefield, Professor Harks...

　Having retired due to injury, he had a thorough understanding of those battles he had not personally experienced, but ultimately lacked some details.

　So he talked more about the early battles, when humanity had no advantage, and every victory...

　They all had to pay a heavy price, but the significance of each victory was also unprecedented.

　But Professor Hawkes talked about the final victorious battles in the last two classes.

　In this lesson, he seemed to have changed his approach.

　Class begins + five minutes later.

　Professor Hax said, "War is about both victory and defeat. We learn from our victories and draw lessons from our defeats. The history of war is also a history of sacrifice. I will forever remember my fallen comrades and will never forgive those who betrayed us in the war!"

　He seemed to realize something, quickly clenching his fist to cover the ferocity emanating from his mouth, then calmed his breathing, and continued...

　He continued, "The Battle of the Ghost Bull Tribe! It was a tragic battle in modern warfare history, a heartbreaking battle that almost shattered the Hundred Tribes Alliance!"

　The students below the stage couldn't help but focus their attention.

　Professor Haxes always lectures with a strong personal emotion, but that only makes it more engaging.

　Even Dak couldn't help but listen.

　The Battle of the Ghost Bull Tribe was a battle that took place in the early days of the signing of the Treaty of the Hundred Tribes.

　The Ghost Bull tribe of the orcs appealed to the Alliance for help at that time.

　After an emergency meeting, the alliance immediately regarded it as a crucial battle symbolizing their alliance and dispatched...

　An alliance of four races—orcs, elves, dwarves, and humans—was formed to go to the rescue of the Ghost Bull.

　And Professor Hax was among them!

Chapter 259 Darkdemon's Research Topic

　The Guiniu tribe is located between two mountain walls, with only two roads leading to and fro.

　The tribal environment was dark, shrouded in thick fog, lacking sunlight; everyone's skin was pale, and even the cow horns had lost their color.

　Its only feature was a pair of deep, dark eyes, with even the pupils being black, like the eyes of a demon.

　The allied forces, having traveled thousands of miles to provide support, encountered the demon squad that had attacked the Ghost Bull tribe.

　After a fierce battle, they killed him.

　With their victories secured, the allied forces were in high spirits and received a warm welcome when they arrived at the Ghost Bull tribe.

　For a time, singing and dancing filled the air, and the atmosphere was joyous.

　However, during their rest period, they did not forget to understand the situation and immediately joined forces with the militia of the Ghost Bull tribe.

　Set up outposts and increase defensive fortifications.

　Ryan Hawkes was then serving as the deputy commander of the makeshift human division of the Allied Forces.

　He was a person of real power.

　The demon army subsequently attacked repeatedly, and despite their formidable strength, they were repelled each time by the allied forces, with all parties cooperating.

　Things gradually went smoothly, and the combined effect became apparent.

　The accident occurred on the night of the full moon, two weeks later.

　Due to the effective cooperation among the various tribes during the two-week battle, the local war of the Ghost Bull tribe was won.

　The soldiers also displayed bravery, skill in battle, and fearlessness in the face of sacrifice, so the Allied forces gradually relaxed their vigilance on the internal situation.

　Unexpectedly, when the Night Demons attacked, all four commanders of the Alliance were poisoned and none survived!

　At that time, the alliance had just been formed, and strength was paramount. The four commanders were also powerful generals in the army.

　They were poisoned and unable to fight, greatly reducing the strength of the Allied forces.

　This led to internal suspicions and fierce arguments, with everyone seeing each other as traitors.

　Let alone any cooperation.

　A bloody battle ensued under extremely unfavorable circumstances.

　That night, the mountain walls on both sides were smashed, the thick fog that had lingered over the Ghost Bull tribe was completely dispelled, and the entire tribe was almost stained red with blood.

　The demon army gained the upper hand and carried out a frenzied massacre until dawn before retreating.

　Both the Ghost Bull tribe and the allied forces suffered heavy casualties, with piles of bones forming mountains.

　Of the four commanders who were poisoned, the dwarf commander and the orc commander, in order to protect their subordinates, forced themselves to fight and died in grief and indignation.

　The human and elven leaders survived thanks to the desperate protection of their subordinates.

　The entire canyon was filled with an aura of death.

　The chief of the Ghost Bull tribe suddenly let out a mournful wail.

　The entire Ghost Bull tribe was wiped out in that bloody battle that night. Even the old, weak, women and children were not spared. Only a dozen or so people survived, and his position as chieftain was now merely a figurehead.

　The battle to defend the Ghost Bull tribe has clearly failed.

　But the allied forces, having also suffered heavy casualties, were too preoccupied to attend to anything else; the remnants of the four races were scattered across four...

　In a corner, licking their wounds in grief.

　After a short rest, anger welled up inside me.

　The simultaneous poisoning of the four leaders could not possibly have been done by outsiders.

　They quickly recalled the high-level meeting from the previous night.

　These four leaders only appear together during the daily meeting time.

　Also present were the chief and four deputy chiefs of the Ghost Bull tribe.

　However, the four deputy commanders stood behind the commander and had no seats.

　Only Chief Ghost Bull was seated at the same table as the four leaders.

　Poisoning drinking water

　Upon realizing this, the orc deputy commander suddenly stood up, but hesitated again when he saw the Ghost Bull Chieftain burying his face in his hands and weeping.

　The same is true for most of the others.

　They couldn't fathom why the Ghost Bull Chieftain would poison them, given the bloody battle his people had fought the previous night.

　Almost slaughtered - empty

　Since we can't find the traitor, there's no point in staying here any longer.

　They didn't dare rest for long; as soon as the sun was high in the sky, they dragged their broken bodies and fled the Ghost Ox tribe.

　Family.

　They took many measures to avoid being tracked.

　However, when the next night arrives...

　The chieftain of the demon bulls then appeared before the crowd, carrying the head of the elven commander.

　Countless demons emerged from behind him and launched a deadly attack on the remaining Allied troops.
