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

　Dak nodded and said politely, "Hello, senior."

　The upperclassman laughed with obvious satisfaction: "Although I'm from the Fool's House, I'm still your senior. My name is Leon. If your classmates also need costume cards, they can come to the Fool's House common room to find me."

　"Doesn't the common room at the Fool's House have access control?" Dark asked curiously.

　Lyon explained, “Of course, but our Miss Door is very hospitable. Just bring a gift. Oh, I mean, a small bottle of lubricant, and she’ll open the door for you.”

　Dak exclaimed in surprise, "Lubricating oil?"

　"Ahem!" Leon looked away, embarrassed. "Anyway, that's how it is. Since you're a freshman at the Noble Academy, I recommend this vampire outfit! It's the most popular series of costumes in the Noble Academy in the past. I even injected sweet blood into my fangs, so as long as you input magic, blood will flow out!"

　"That's really great."

　Dark lowered his gaze and rummaged through the vampire outfits, finding them all in the traditional red and black color scheme. They looked good, but he felt something was missing.

　He casually asked, "Do you have a Demon King set?"

　Leon's expression stiffened: "We do have the Hero's Set. By the way, I remember a student who called himself the Son of a Hero came to your academy this year?"

　Dark: "The Knights' Academy".

　“A knight?” Leon exclaimed. “I really wish he could wear my Kamen Rider suit.”

　Darke suddenly realized: "Kamen Rider suit?"

　“Yes,” Lyon said proudly. “That was a very famous hero when the demon race still existed. He used a special belt, and as long as he inserted the transformation card into the belt, he could transform into a Kamen Rider, which is very similar to the current Saint Seiya series of magic cards. Do you know Valkyrie Alvit? She was one of the holders of the twelve Gold Saint Seiya.”

　Dark knew about the Valkyrie, and had seen her complain about how tight her armor was.

　The so-called "Saint Armor" is very similar to "Saint Cloth". The twelve Gold Saint Armors are designed based on the twelve constellations and can amplify the user's strength and speed by hundreds of times!

　→The Valkyrie in her holy armor is the true Valkyrie!

　Dark couldn't help but become interested in the Kamen Rider suit.

　But the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

　The Kamen Rider suit made by Ang here looks more like a Beelzebub suit.

　Forget it, let's go with something more ordinary!

　This full-body suit really restricts movement. If you're planning to go all out for Halloween, it's better to choose a lighter suit.

　For example, this "Tuxedo Mask" set is quite nice.

　A black dress, white glasses, a deep red cape, white gloves, and a blood-red rose!

　And it only requires 33 credits.

　"Just this one."

　Dak wasn't too bothered; if it didn't work out, he could just switch to another one.

　Senior Leon wasn't upset that he chose the cheapest costume card; instead, he patiently explained how to inscribe the final transmutation circle on the costume card.

　Dak said he learned a lot.

　Those 33 credits were worth it!

　But before he left, Senior Leon suddenly called him back: "Oh, right, here's a love fortune telling card for you. Enjoy your youth!"

　……

　Dark held the love fortune-telling card given to him by his senior, Leon, his mind in turmoil.

　"Senior Leon seems quite honest, and being a student of the House of Fools, he doesn't seem like the type to lie. So, could these love fortune-telling cards really have been distributed by Professor Cazell?"

　"Professor Kazel certainly possesses superb magical skills, but... does he have this kind of taste?"

　Dark carefully examined the still exquisite flower card in his hand, finding it hard to believe that Professor Kazel, of goblin blood, could create such a thing.

　Moreover, according to Leon, Professor Cazell simply distributed the wreaths to them so that they could give them to people they liked.

　There aren't actually many flower cards; this is Lyon's last one.

　Dark couldn't think of anything he and Diana had in common, so he went to the Quirky Candy Store again, bought some toffee, and sure enough, got another Flower Card!

　Then he went to a flower shop, a jewelry store, a clothing store...

　Some shops gave him a floral plaque, while others had already given them all away.

　After walking around the whole circle, including the one given to me by senior Leon, I got a total of eight flower cards.

　Adding the one we already have, that makes nine!

　"Nine flower cards, that's quite a good result."

　Dak left Travellers Street before sunset.

　As he walked out of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, he passed by Witt and Robert.

　The two children seemed to have overcome their previous estrangement and were playing together again.

　"Speaking of which, have they finished their homework?"

　Dak was puzzled.

　……

　(( д)(д ))

Chapter 52 Darkdemon attempts to escape the fog

　Regarding whether Witt and Robert actually went to the library, and whether they actually finished their homework there.

　Dark was only slightly puzzled, but did not intend to delve into it further.

　Holding nine face cards gave him more control over "Elysium." But if these face cards were indeed made by Professor Cazell, he wanted to understand and master the method of creation!

　On the one hand, it was to ensure a stable source of playing cards.

　On the other hand, he was very curious about why this flower card could absorb "bliss"!

　But asking Professor Cazell directly would seem rather abrupt.

　After a moment's thought, Dak quickly realized that he still had a Mind Bottle that he hadn't returned.

　So he quickened his pace, intending to go back to his dormitory first to get the Mind Bottle.

　……

　Friday nights are usually the busiest time in the common room.

　The students released the pent-up stress of the week without worrying about homework or class time. After all, it was only Friday; homework could be done tomorrow, and class time wasn't something to consider until the day after tomorrow.

　Even the common lounge of the House of Nobles is not immune to this custom.

　Darke weaved through the crowd, avoiding Diana's watchful gaze, which seemed to be catching a mouse, and successfully slipped into the dormitory.

　The dormitory was quiet, showing no difference from when I left.

　He closed the door, turned on the light, and walked to his desk.

　The mind bottle is kept in the desk drawer; I can just grab it and leave.

　But just as he got the hang of it, he suddenly heard a meow.

　This made him turn around and walk towards the balcony.

　"Has the catnip woken up?"

　He opened the door and looked down at the cat grass on the balcony.

　Then came silence.

　……

　on the balcony.

　The cat-like plant was using its two paws to cling to the drooping insect branch, its pink little tongue licking and sucking the head of the branch.

　The insect branch, which should have become very hard after being injected with three drops of "arrogance," has instead turned back into a limp, lifeless state!

　【暴怒+1】

　I never expected that I would earn it back in the afternoon and then pay it all back in the evening.

　"Meow--"

　Cat Grass, completely oblivious to its owner's outburst of anger, put down the insect branch and ran towards Dark.

　The cat grass's tail stem is quite long, long enough for it to reach Dak's feet.

　Dak squatted down, picked it up and put it on his lap, wondering whether to juice it or butcher it tonight.

　Then I suddenly noticed a faint mark on Cat Grass's forehead.

　"The emblem of arrogance?"

　Dark frowned, and his anger quickly subsided.

　After examining it repeatedly, he confirmed that it was indeed the emblem of arrogance. But surprisingly, Nekomamushi did not exhibit the same "arrogance" as Devimon and Eevee.

　"Could it be because it's a plant?"

　Dak fell into deep thought, letting the cat grass suckle his finger gently.

　"Speaking of which, how exactly does cat grass exist?"

　Dark's eyes flashed, and then he pulled out "Pride 1" from his card pack.

　"Magic Summoning!"

　A dark golden orb of light flew out from "Pride 1" and then disappeared into the top of Cat Grass's head.

　But this can

　The magic card, which instilled arrogance, still failed to produce any effect.

　"Let's check at the library!"

　Dak took a breath, put down the cat grass, and then moved the insect tree indoors.

　learn from mistakes.

　Tomorrow I'll go to Traveler's Street to buy a protective fence to separate the cat grass, and while I'm at it I'll get some pom-poms or something to keep the cat grass entertained.

　Dak sat down to take notes and found himself busy again.

　"Should we go to the library first, or find the professor first?"

　"Let's keep the professor!"

　"It's not too late to go to the library in the evening."

　……

　Professor Cazell was not in his office.

　Dak then went to the laboratory.

　Sure enough, I saw Professor Kazel making magic cards in the laboratory.

　However, he wasn't making "Jack Pumpkin" today; instead, he was creating a "mummy" using bandages and mannequins.

　Thinking about how to bring up the topic more naturally, Dak drew out a white mandala flower card as he pushed open the door.

　"Dimon? Do you need to borrow the lab? The key to the lab next door is in the second drawer of the office."

　Professor Cazell looked very serious.

　Dark didn't put the thought bottle on the lab table until he walked over, saying, "Professor, I'm here to return it."

　“A mind bottle?” Professor Cazell glanced back and chuckled. “You can use it a little longer.”

　Dark: "No, Professor. I've already bought an insect tree."

　He planned to start by discussing emotions and thoughts before moving on to love divination cards.

　But when Professor Cazell saw the face cards in his hand, he said without thinking, "What, you've also become interested in these face cards?"

　Dark frowned slightly, then said, "Yes, Professor. I've been wondering if the so-called divination using Hanafuda involves some kind of mental probing?"

　Professor Cazell was slightly taken aback, then laughed even more heartily.

　He put down his work, took off his lab gloves, and laughed, "I never imagined your research on the level of thought had reached this stage."
