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

　At the end, Professor Lily handed out another test paper as homework.

　She still hopes to deepen students' understanding of the course content by having them do exercises.

　The next lesson was on magic.

　Professor Cazell first summarized the collective failure of the previous experimental class, and then, based on the students' performance in the newcomer competition, called a few students to the podium to demonstrate "remote transmission and control of magic".

　To his surprise, he discovered that, apart from Diana, who had already demonstrated remote control of the magic ball in the competition, the other students had also mastered it to some extent!

　No.

　He noticed it quickly.

　Surprisingly, even the students other than those few had some basic knowledge!

　"How did you do that?"

　"While the average talent level of this year's cohort is slightly better than that of previous cohorts, it's not quite revolutionary."

　Professor Cazell couldn't help but stay—distracted.

　Later, while continuing to teach, he finally discovered the secret to how his students gradually mastered this advanced skill!

　I don't know when it started.

　Everyone in the classroom was practicing a technique called "pen spinning" all the time.

　Given the necessary talent, the remote transmission and control of magic is, in essence, a skill that develops with practice.

　Some people need to practice for a year or two to learn to hold it, while others only need a few weeks.

　Professor Kazel gifted Dark a magic ring for Christmas, which was specifically designed for practicing this technique.

　Tool.

　But at this moment.

　Professor Cazell suddenly discovered that "pen spinning" seemed to engage people more actively. Even after mastering it a few times, people could "unconsciously" maintain it and engage in extremely high-intensity, continuous practice!

　The concept of "edutainment" is roughly like this.

　He couldn't help but sigh at the immense importance of proper education.

　After that, he began to seriously consider whether it was necessary to actively promote "pen spinning for everyone" within the academy.

　Leaving aside Professor Lily's predicament and Professor Cazell's considerations for the moment.

　In the afternoon's History of Magic class, after several adjustments, Professor Ryan Hawkes once again began recounting his personal experiences.

　The history of wars against the demon race.

　He still hasn't been able to control his emotions well in this regard, and occasionally shows a volatile side.

　Just like the hair on his head, it somehow turned into an afro.

　The students all knew he had become Sister Kallian's guinea pig for hair growth tonic, but they still couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.

　The following day was Friday.

　After Professor Jones's dueling class, the young mages finally began their third Warcraft Studies class since the start of the school year!

　They had already submitted their assignment from the previous week before noon on Wednesday—choosing a plant that is common in the dungeon.

　The monster was analyzed and a short paper was written.

　Professor Nini announced that she would choose a monster from the assignments as the subject of this week's lesson, so the students were already preparing before class.

　I was already full of anticipation before class even started.

　While the spirit-devouring monsters of the first two weeks were terrifying, after two of them self-destructed, they actually left a comical impression.

　Like.

　"I wonder what kind of monster will be the topic of this lesson."

　Diana was still thinking about her mushroom bear, while Rose was wondering if she would win her fluffy rabbit.

　Looking at the wall clock, Dak also thought about his own research project.

　There are many common monsters in dungeons.

　The more well-known ones include slimes, goblins, ogres, trolls, dryads, and kobolds.

　See it.

　The name sounds familiar (laughs).

　While monsters like spirit-devouring monsters are relatively common, they are not particularly surprising to those who have never actually experienced dungeons.

　It has little reputation.

　While learning about the creation of the "Zoo" game, Dak studied the "Secret Records of Birds and Beasts," so his understanding was better than...

　There are more ordinary people.

　For this project, he chose one that wasn't very well-known, but which was extremely numerous in the dungeons.

　A vine monster!

　When adventurers enter a dungeon, they can always see vines hanging from the walls on each floor. These vines are either scattered...

　It emits a unique fragrance or emits a bright glow, possessing various characteristics that attract living beings.

　They usually use this to lure people or monsters over, and then pounce on them instantly, entangle them, and prey on them!

　The vine monster is extremely dangerous and difficult to identify.

　Adventurers often confuse them with vines, and can easily fall victim to their poison.

　If you cut open the vine monster's body, you'll find that its vine-like body is actually flowing with thick, sticky blood.

　They look like plants, but they are actually animals.

　It not only has blood vessels, but also mouthparts covered with tiny teeth.

　But if you know them well enough

　After cutting off the head and tail, peeling off the skin, and draining the blood, the remaining meat is soft and delicate. It can be taken out and eaten after just a few minutes in boiling water. It is one of the few edible species in the dungeon!

　I don't know if it was because of reading Dak's little paper, but before the bell rang, Professor Nini brought in a fat chicken!

　The fat chicken's eyes were covered with a black cloth strip, and the part of the chicken below the neck was tied up like a rice dumpling.

　The junior mages were initially wondering why Professor Nini had brought in a fat chicken. But when half a snake's head emerged from the rope binding the chicken, the more knowledgeable junior mages in the front row were terrified!

　"what!"

　Emma, ​​who is usually very reserved, even screamed!

　Compared to her classmates who only had a vague understanding, Emma recognized the monster almost immediately, which made her even more terrified.

　惧。

　The classroom immediately descended into chaos due to the students' fright.

　The little mages in the front row even ran out of their seats and fled to the back of the classroom in unison.

　"what!"

　Professor Nini was startled by the actions of the young mages and was at a loss for what to do.

　She frantically shook her head and looked around, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She quickly hid the monster in her hand behind her back, and then raised her hand...

　He scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

　"Hey hey hey."

　Pretend nothing happened!

　"The ghost has nothing to do with you!"

　A male student from the Magic Academy cried out in alarm, "Professor Nini, how could you bring Snake Chicken into the classroom? I'm going to tell the principal! I absolutely have to tell the principal!"

　Professor Nini glanced at him somewhat guiltily, recognizing him as the student who had nearly wet himself in fright during his experience of absorbing spirits.

　He couldn't help but look away.

　It was wrong of her to frighten the child, but she didn't do it on purpose.

　It was just a normal class!

　She mustered her courage and tried to speak: "Everyone, everyone, can you calm down a little? Actually, it's not what you think."

　Emma's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Instinctively, she shielded Susan and Lucy behind her, shouting, "Professor Nini, that's a snake-chicken beast! If it looks at you, you'll turn to stone—it's a legendary monster!"

　Upon hearing Emma's words, Professor Nini quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, it's not a snake-chicken beast, it's a chicken-snake beast!"

　It's a snake, not a chicken!

　"Who cares about you!" a loud voice from the Knights of the Knights roared. "What does it matter whether it's a chicken or a snake, or whether it can turn people to stone?"

　No, no, no!

　Professor Nini instinctively pulled the chicken-snake beast out from behind her, pointing with her thick finger at the narrow black line covering the chicken's eyes.

　The colored cloth strip argued loudly, "As long as you cover your eyes with cloth, you won't turn people into stones!"

　But another girl from the Magic Academy pointed at the gargoyle and exclaimed in horror, "It's out! It's out! The snake's head is sticking out! It wasn't covered, its eyes weren't covered!"

　Professor Nini followed her gaze and looked down—with one glance.

　Sure enough, the snake's head had emerged from the gap in the hemp rope and was shaking its head and flicking its tongue.

　Professor Nini quickly reached out and pinched its tongue, desperately explaining, "Don't worry, the snake's eyes can't petrify people."

　"Ah!" another girl screamed, "It's going to fall! Professor Nini, that piece of cloth is going to fall!"

　Professor Nini asked疑惑地问道, "Which piece of cloth?" The woman replied, "The cloth that covers the corn!"

　“(000) Oh.”

　So she lowered the chicken-snake beast and looked up at its chicken head.

　Sure enough, the strip of cloth covering the chicken's head and eyes slipped down, revealing one of the chicken's eyes.

　A sharp glint flashed in that chicken's eye, and a gray ray shot outwards!

　Professor Nini's face was hit by the ray at extremely close range, and a layer of gray stone immediately appeared on her skin.

　This scene terrified the students, causing their suppressed fear to erupt instantly.

　The entire classroom erupted into chaos amidst screams.

　Dak instinctively got up.

　However, the petrification on Professor Nini's face only spread to the tip of her nose, and then stopped abruptly.

　The gray stone shell was covered with dense cracks. Then, with two "crack" sounds, it shattered and fell to the ground.

　Professor Nini touched her cheek, which seemed to have become even smoother, and said innocently, "Look, I'm perfectly fine!"

　The stone shell was broken, and stone dust covered the ground.

　Professor Nini's face was full of innocent little expressions.

　All of this finally eased the tense atmosphere that filled the classroom.

　The students in the front row quieted down, cautiously observing the pheasant-like creature that Professor Nini was holding in her hand. Although they were still shaken, the excessive panic they had felt at the beginning was gone.

　The chicken-snake beast and the spirit-absorbing monster are slightly different.

　They are all common dangerous monsters found in dungeons.

　However, the Cockathirus is far more well-known than the Spirit Eater.

　It looks like a monster pieced together from a rooster and a snake, and there's a legend that it can turn enemies to stone with just a glance. What just happened proves the legend to be true.

　However, Professor Nini, who possesses Behemoth blood, seems to have a very strong resistance to that petrifying ray, almost completely exempting her from the petrification test.

　This slightly lessened the students' fear of the chicken-snake beast.

　But many people subconsciously overlook this.
