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

　Professor Sylph also stopped.

　Moonlight fell on her pale golden hair, making her look ethereal and otherworldly.

　She considered carefully and said, "This matter needs further consideration. The existence of the invisible man remains a problem, but since we already know..."

　It hasn't appeared since Vlad's soul perished, so logically we can temporarily separate its purpose from Vlad's existence. To bring it out now, the only option seems to be restarting the "Key" plan.

　Dark shook his head slightly: "This plan is too fussy. Since even the incident with the vampire Vlad couldn't lure it out, the other party is either someone who is actually harmless, or someone who is extremely cunning. A fake key probably won't fool it."

　Professor Sylph gave a slight sneer: "Then let's make it real. Since Vlad the vampire has been proven not to be in the secret passage, it's impossible for the passage to be closed all the time."

　Dark thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea. He said, "Professor, I've always felt that creating a key to break the seal on the secret passage isn't very meaningful. How about we get a set of access cards?"

　Professor Sylph asked in surprise, "Access card?"

　Dark nodded: "Access cards. Only those with access cards can enter the secret passage. This prevents entry from within the passage."

　The large number of people could cause unpredictable changes, and the unique nature of the secret passage could also be effectively utilized. Just as you said. The existence of the secret passage...

　In the St. Marian section, it's impossible to keep it closed.

　Professor Sylph pondered for a long time, then said thoughtfully, "It seems so. Over the years, none of us have thought of this aspect."

　Dark: "It's a matter of perspective. From the professors' point of view, they should be more worried about us students getting into danger in the secret passage. So they want to use it, but they also naturally reject it, which is why they won't think about it in that way."

　“You’re right,” Professor Sylph nodded. “How about this, after I’ve dealt with Vlad the vampire, I’ll go and discuss this possibility with Arte in detail.”

　Dark: "This is indeed a decision that needs to be taken seriously, and I hope the principal can be more open-minded."

　Professor Sylph couldn't help but smile: 'I see now, you wanted to go into the secret passage yourself, didn't you?'

　Dark looked up at her, making no attempt to hide his feelings: "That's how it is."

　Professor Sylph was backlit by the moonlight, but her smile was brighter than the moonlight itself.

Chapter 323 Darkdemon and the Duel Brain (4k)

　It's late tonight, certainly not a good time for a detailed discussion.

　Darko Dimon and Sarah Sylph continued walking.

　Before long, the two arrived at the tower of the Noble House.

　The feathered serpent golem's serpentine eyes had opened at some point, reflecting the moon in the sky.

　Professor Sylph met the feathered serpent golem's gaze, and then it closed its eyes again.

　Darke pushed open the tower door smoothly, turned to Professor Sylph, and said, "Good night, Professor."

　Professor Sylph responded, "Good night."

　The common lounge behind the access control was quiet and cold.

　As Dak stepped inside, the large door behind him automatically closed.

　The magic lamps on the walls and the flames in the fireplace lit up one after another, as if to express welcome.

　Dark's expression shifted slightly; he suddenly felt a longing for this empty space.

　Sit for a while in the spacious common lounge.

　Then he casually summoned a few star-shaped magical sprites, which gathered around the fireplace and sat for about half an hour.

　Only when he felt warm and cozy both in his heart and body did he return to his dormitory with the magical spirits, completely satisfied.

　Once inside the dormitory, the [Paradise] was activated, and then the other magical spirits were summoned as well.

　As the dormitory space gradually filled up, the warmth in his heart overflowed.

　The sweat on my back could finally trickle out quietly.

　In fact, tonight's hunt, especially the latter half of his one-on-one confrontation with the vampire Vlad, although he appeared calm and collected...

　I felt pressured, but only I knew the tension I felt inside.

　after all.

　He was facing a real vampire!

　A demon whose methods are unknown and who kills without any remorse!

　Despite the "blessing of the wind spirits" and the presence of two professors, the "just in case" factor always remains.

　If you accidentally mess it up.

　Robert might be in danger!

　Fortunately, everything went very smoothly.

　Dak let out a hard sigh, then took out a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

　First, fill the bathtub with water, then take a shower.

　After rinsing myself thoroughly, I soaked my entire body in the bathtub.

　As the hot water slowly washes over my body, my limbs and muscles relax.

　Dak couldn't resist the overwhelming drowsiness that washed over him, and once his heavy skin closed, he could no longer open it.

　His breathing gradually became steady.

　When I woke up again, it was already 3 a.m. according to my biological clock.

　Dak slowly sat up from under the covers, looked down at his neatly dressed pajamas, and wondered how he had gotten into bed.

　Sylveon, as if seeking credit, wrapped its two ribbon tentacles around itself.

　She tried to make Dark forget the mistake she made on Valentine's Day night by sticking stickers on him.

　But in reality, Dak had long forgotten about it.

　He affectionately stroked the soft fur on Sylveon's head and couldn't help but smile.

　A new day has dawned.

　The vampire hunt did not cause much of a stir at the academy.

　Setting the hunting time after curfew is a wise choice.

　Although some students noticed something amiss within the castle, the security barrier prevented them from leaving.

　Consider multiple layers before exploring the door.

　So in the end, no one really discovered the truth.

　And of course, the people involved in the incident could not reveal what happened.

　The second day, Friday, only had two classes: one was a dueling class, and the other was Warcraft studies.

　Professor Parva Jones explains the theoretical knowledge related to dueling in his dueling class.

　Dak had already completed this part of his self-study; he spent most of his time observing Robert.

　Because Robert, in a sense, should actually be considered a "patient".

　However, after observing Robert throughout the lesson, Dak found that Robert hadn't changed much.

　Vlad's change in him was gradual, achieved through guidance rather than brainwashing or coercion.

　Therefore, Vlad's departure did not immediately bring Robert back to his original state.

　This is a good thing.

　But for Robert, there should be an even bigger gain.

　The four magic cards left behind by Vlad are still on him.

　The professors haven't yet considered taking back the four magic cards.

　This means that Robert successfully bypassed the school rules and gained four extremely powerful magic cards out of thin air!

　Among them, the value of the arcane card that can summon the [Vampire Count] is immeasurable.

　It was like he'd suddenly won a billion-dollar lottery, and he'd even found that lottery ticket!

　Unless the professors suddenly remember and restrict him one day, he's really hit the jackpot!

　But at this point, Robert was unaware of his good fortune; his focus was elsewhere.

　“Witt”

　Robert, pointing the pen to the last word, turned to Witt and whispered, "Look, wasn't my prediction wrong?"

　"prophecy"

　Witt looked at his notebook and read: "Your fate is the fate of chess, and chess breaks people at the same time."

　Dak also recalled this prophecy.

　He opened his notebook, copied down the prophecy, and was surprised.

　"Professor Midia's mention of 'chess' in this prophecy perfectly aligns with Robert's being parasitized by Vlad."

　"Like puppets, Robert has indeed become Vlad's puppet."

　"In that situation, if it had been handled improperly, Robert might have really died."

　So, is this a real prophecy, or just a coincidence?

　Although Professor Mitis repeatedly emphasized that her words at the time were not a prophecy.

　But if even one of them comes true, it makes one feel that the others must also be true, thus getting caught in a cycle of reflection.

　Perhaps this is the "power of a prophet".

　The rest of the Warcraft studies went without much trouble.

　Professor Nini captured another monster from the dungeon as a teaching demonstration.

　Although the students were complaining, they were actually enjoying themselves.

　After completing her class assignment, Professor Nini said happily, "We've learned about quite a few monsters over this period of time. Next, I'll bring you even more interesting explanations of monsters. Once our theoretical foundation is solid enough, I'll ask Professor Sylph for a day trip to the dungeon! I really hope it will be approved."

　"Dungeon, Day Trip"

　The little mages, who had been making a ruckus just moments before, suddenly fell silent.

　If their understanding of the St. Marian Academy's dungeons was previously only superficial, now that they have accepted it...

　After Professor Nini's lecture, they had gained a vague understanding of the dangers inside the underground city.

　Both the "Spirit Absorber" and the "Snake Beast" are veritable killers of newbies.

　Their presence is extremely deadly for adventurers who haven't made any prior preparations.

　Moreover, the professor leading the team is Professor Nini.

　Although the junior mages' perception of Professor Nini has gradually improved after such a long period of contact.

　But that doesn't mean they would deny that she's "unreliable".

　Therefore, the junior mages had only an extremely ominous premonition about this so-called "day trip to the dungeon"!

　"Professor Sylph, she probably won't approve her application."

　Many students exchanged awkward smiles and glances.

　Don't let Professor Nini's timid appearance fool you. They've seen how stubborn she can be when she's really angry.

　At this point, all we can do is hope for Professor Sylph.

　Friday afternoon.

　Dak originally wanted to go to the Traveler's Street to buy some wood carving tools and materials, perhaps even to prepare the wood carving (flower cards) in advance.

　The materials used.

　However, just as he reached the castle gate, the wisp of breeze hidden in his hair flew out, mingling with another wisp of wind coming towards him.

　The gentle breezes intertwined and played together.

　Amidst that gentle breeze, Professor Sylph's voice rang out: "Come to my office."

　Dark paused for a moment, then said, "Coming right away."
