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

　The professor said with satisfaction, "Yes, this is the state of the Underworld God. Remember this feeling; it will help you master the Underworld God Technique more quickly."

　Dak immediately nodded in agreement.

　His gains were actually greater than Professor Cazell had imagined.

　After experiencing it once, he immediately realized that it was also a technique that could assist in "emotional control"!

　"This is much more effective than reciting the Heart Sutra."

　While it cannot prevent the occurrence of sudden emotions, it can prevent the sustained outburst of emotions.

　For example, when enraged, one can use the magic of the underworld to forcibly suppress the rising anger.

　If handled promptly, the damage can be stopped at [Rage +1], preventing further escalation to [Rage +2], [Rage +3], or [Rage +10].

　……

　“Professor,” Darke said suddenly.

　Professor Cazell looked over: "What?"

　After thinking for a moment, Dak said, "Actually, I went to Traveler's Street yesterday to ask the senior who gave me the floral arrangement about its origin."

　Professor Cazell immediately became interested: "Who made this? Ordinary students couldn't make such exquisite props."

　Dak said after careful consideration, "Senior said that you were the one who distributed them."

　Professor Cazell looked clearly puzzled: "I distributed them? Wait, someone is impersonating me? Then these cards might be hiding something I don't know about. Let me see..."

　Dark had never expected Professor Cazell's thinking to be so fast. With just one sentence, he realized the problem.

　Professor Cazell quickly drew his face card from his card pack.

　The floral arrangement, adorned with green roses, shimmered under the light.

　The professor reached out and pressed down, and the green roses scattered out, revealing a slightly immature but beautiful face on the card.

　Dak just happened to be able to see it and discovered that it was a little fairy with butterfly wings.

　He didn't think much of it, assuming it was just Professor Cazell's old flame.

　Professor Cazell hesitated when he took out his tools to forcibly dismantle the flower card.

　After a moment, he put down his tools and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll discuss this with the other professors this afternoon. Don't worry about us; maybe it's just a prank?"

　Dark responded, "I hope so."

　He then sensed the atmosphere and left the office.

　……

　On his way to the cafeteria, Dak pondered Professor Kazel's various reactions and became certain that Professor Kazel could not possibly be the creator of Hanafuda.

　But does he seem to be hiding some secret?

　What role does Werther, who has a "forbidden love," play in all of this?

　Dak gradually became interested.

　However, he understands the meaning of "dabbling" and that getting too deeply involved in such events could lead to emotional instability.

　Being a ruthless bystander might be a better choice.

　By the time he finished lunch, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

　He did not forget to go to the library to borrow "Magical Spirit Alchemy - General Manual".

　→Fortunately, it hasn't been borrowed all yet.

　……

Chapter 60 Darkdemon is in a dilemma

　The first class in the afternoon.

　Potions.

　Professor Thompson spent the first thirty minutes of the lesson reviewing how to make "Speed ​​Potion".

　The next hour was spent teaching how to make the standard version of "mana potion".

　Witt and Robert made several mistakes while distracted, which led to a lot of laughs.

　Darke, on the other hand, simply completed the potion's preparation. Then, with Professor Thompson's permission, he began to teach the clumsy Diana step by step.

　In terms of potion-making, Diana is not even as meticulous as Rose.

　Despite her great patience, not every potion can be made with "slow and steady wins the race".

　Most potions have a set production time limit.

　Once the time limit is exceeded, some processed materials will become ineffective.

　Professor Thompson encourages students to help each other in principle.

　Of course, if you neither know how to do it nor can find a friend who can help you, then there's nothing you can do.

　While teaching Diana, Dark suddenly noticed that Emma, ​​who was sitting in the front row, was actually starting to help her classmate despite her disgusted expression.

　It seems the women's tea party over the weekend had a significant impact on her.

　At least it taught her how to get along with people.

　……

　After Potions class ended.

　Instead of going directly to the library as usual, Dak deliberately stayed in the classroom for a while.

　He only headed towards the library with some disappointment after seeing that Witt and Robert had chosen to go in the direction of the Knightshouse Tower.

　Today, Professor Thompson assigned a paper on "Mana Recovery Potions," which will take at least an hour to complete.

　After finding the relevant information, Dak began writing his paper.

　The difference between "mana recovery potion" and "mana speed potion" is that the former can restore mana slowly and in large quantities.

　If these two potions are refined into a magic card, it will be possible to create a charged magic card similar to Emma's "3 Gold Coins".

　Dak then added his own ideas, and a fairly standard paper was completed.

　At the same time, he also began to consider whether to add one or two charge spell cards to his deck.

　……

　And in the common lounge of the Knights' Academy.

　Witt and Robert had just finished a game of Magic Chess. After a long silence, they began to pack up the chessboard.

　On the way to the library, Robert couldn't help but ask, "Witt, are you really planning to stop using that face card?"

　Witt looked unusually disappointed: "What else? Professor Cazell has already made it clear that if we are caught again, it won't be as simple as just deducting fifty points."

　Robert looked around and, seeing no one was around, immediately said, "But when we used it this morning, it went very smoothly, didn't it? As long as we don't use it to offend the professors, ordinary students won't notice anything. Besides, the lock on the sign..."

　“Speaking of locks,” Witt said suddenly, “I’ve discovered that Dark Dimon is a really nice guy.”

　Robert paused, then asked, "What's wrong?"

　Witt: "Do you know who was in the office when I was being reprimanded at noon?"

　Robert: "Who else could it be but Professor Cazell?"

　“It wasn’t just the professor,” Witt sighed. “Dark was in there too! If he hadn’t been there, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to withstand the pressure from the professor. I think he must have deliberately gone to the office to ease the tension as a third party.”

　Robert exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, Witt, how could you think that? Is Darke really that good?"

　Witt shook his head: "Don't say that, we don't really know him. Maybe the greeting we took the initiative to say this morning really had some effect."

　Robert: "But the favorability rating has dropped!"

　Witt: "Favorability fluctuates. It's only temporary!"

　Robert: "Let's take another look; he's definitely in the library."

　Witt: "No, I won't use it again."

　Robert: "But don't you want to know how much Pandora likes you?"

　Witt: "I..."

　……

　Under Robert's questioning, Witt began to waver again.

　"If it's only used once, as long as it's not discovered..."

　"I've used it so many times in the morning and no one has noticed."

　"As long as it's not used on the professors..."

　Robert leaned closer and said suggestively, "Just one more time!"

　……

　However, when Victor arrived at the library with great determination, he found that Pandora was not there.

　He felt disappointed, but also relieved.

　But his overtly joyful behavior made Robert realize that his friend seemed to have truly fallen in love.

　……

　Reading room.

　After finishing his thesis on potions, Dark planned to go back to his dormitory to check on the Insect Tree and Cat Grass.

　But just as he was about to pack his things, he noticed that Witt and Robert were walking towards him.

　"Excuse me, may we sit here?"

　Witt pointed to the opposite side of Dark.

　Four people can sit at one table.

　In the past, the only people who would sit opposite Dark were Diana and Rose.

　Dark frowned almost imperceptibly, but still said, "Of course."

　So Witt and Robert sat down one after the other.

　Witt took out his homework, intending to say a few more words to Dark to increase his favorability, but found that Dark had already stood up.

　His face stiffened involuntarily.

　But Dark certainly wouldn't stop there.

　Wait for Dak to leave.

　Witt suddenly realized that Emma was sitting right across from him, and he became even more embarrassed.

　……

　However, after leaving the library, Dak went straight back to his dormitory.

　After taking care of the insect tree and cat grass, he immediately began practicing "Netherworld Art" according to the method taught by Professor Kazel.

　But as Professor Kazel said, mastering "Netherworld Arts" requires persistent and long-term practice.

　The best way is to practice for an hour before going to sleep every day.

　Therefore, after half an hour of unsuccessful practice, Dark took out "Magic Spirit Forging - General Manual" and began to study it on his own.

　But after only looking through a small portion...

　Dak put down his book and stood up again.

　Today, he felt somewhat restless, as if there was something he had always wanted to do but hadn't yet.

　"Meow-"

　Cat Grass dragged the flowerpot over and rubbed against his leg.

　He looked down at the lovely cat grass, especially at the flowers about to bloom on its top, and a flash of understanding appeared in his eyes.

　"Yes."
