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

　Arvit and Claire put aside their official duties to attend this interview, naturally in order to select the most suitable candidate.

　As for Gatomon, it represents the magical spirits.

　At the same time, Dak also wanted to use its presence to observe the reactions of the job applicants.

　"I didn't expect that Professor Buckner Cyrus would also apply for the job." Claire looked through the information, somewhat surprised.

　"The intention is too obvious." Alvit shook her head slightly, not thinking much of this "silent sage."

　"What the teacher said..." Claire thought for a moment, then said, "He was a true scholar who was simply devoted to magical research, but that was a long time ago. I don't know his current situation. In comparison, I have more faith in the two princesses' tutor—Ms. Monique Cooke."

　Arvit couldn't help but smile and say, "Indeed, she not only has rich teaching experience, but is also serious and loves children very much. I don't think there is anyone more suitable than her."

　Claire readily agreed, then grabbed Camilla's file and scoffed, "On the contrary, I have absolutely no idea what Camilla is here for. Isn't she afraid of tying her husband to us completely?"

　“Perhaps we can understand it from another perspective,” Arvit said. “She applied for the job precisely to demonstrate this attitude to the outside world.”

　Watching the two adults talking so eloquently, Dak couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why couldn't Aunt Camilla have come for Aurora?"

　“She would like to, but being part of the family, she has no choice,” Claire said. “She must have had family considerations in mind when she made this decision. In fact, your birthday dinner has already subtly changed the situation in the capital.”

　At this point, both Claire and Ylvette couldn't help but smile.

　So-called unintentional insertion

　The willows provide shade.

　Information about the people present at Dak's birthday party leaked out. In particular, the fact that the Greta Bayer family and the Florty family still attended the Duke's private tea party after the banquet confirmed some of the initial speculations.

　In just the past few days, many people who have cooperated with the Gretby family have been subtly trying to find out what's going on.

　Although Viscount Gretel has stated that he was only taking his daughter to a classmate's birthday party.

　But this only makes people think the worst.

　Some have even directly pointed out that he might be planning a marriage alliance with the Duke's family!

　Even the elders within the family summoned him for a detailed interrogation.

　Some elders, who were not particularly interested in the political system at first, suddenly became extremely concerned after the topic was shifted to "marriage"!

　Viscount Gretel was beginning to feel overwhelmed...

　It was also thanks to the fact that the kinship between Viscountess Camilla and Lord Montilfarie was not publicized, otherwise he would have encountered even more troubles.

　In short, these past few days...

　Everyone in the Gretel family knows that the Valkyrie's troublesome son graduated first in his first year at St. Marian Academy and is no longer the spoiled, incompetent boy he once was.

　Many people who were close to Diana would tease her about this whenever they met her, only to be chased away by her in a fit of embarrassment and anger.

　A pleasant atmosphere suddenly filled the Greta Bayer family.

　In short, the troubles and worries belong to the Viscount and his wife; everyone else continues with their lives as usual.

　……

　In the Florty family.

　Neither Viscountess Flori nor Viscountess Flori's fears came true.

　The matter was just beginning to unfold, and most of the attention was still focused on the Gretby family; the Florty family was not significantly affected.

　Just the night before last, Viscountess Florentia received an unusual invitation to a tea party, which surprised her but also made her deeply worried.

　To relieve their worries, the couple, like squirrels, asked around for books related to magic, then piled them up at home.

　They have nothing else but money.

　Even Viscount Florty has begun planning to find Rose...

　Private tutor.

　However, it is not easy to find qualified tutors for mage masters, and they have no connections in this area, which is very frustrating.

　……

　Every detail of this intelligence was sent to Arvit's office without exception.

　Arvit and Claire discussed the current situation and both felt it was in the Duke's favor. However, they believed it wasn't appropriate to actively push things along; it would be best to observe and let things develop for a while before taking any action.

　……

　While the group was chatting, several more people arrived at the Duke's mansion.

　The first applicant to arrive was Debbie Giles, a recent graduate of St. Mary's College.

　The young mage, only eighteen years old, was dressed very formally in his magic robes and wore light makeup, clearly indicating that he was deeply affected by the interview.

　This was an opportunity for her.

　She wanted to seize the opportunity!

　……

　Following Debbie Giles, Buckner Cyrus, the "Silent Sage," also slowly alighted from a carriage.

　The 83-year-old "Silent Sage," despite using potions to maintain his health, still bears the deep marks of time.

　He had a hunched back, leaned on a cane, and his face was lined with deep, weathered wrinkles.

　A maid waiting at the door immediately stepped forward and helped him into the mansion.

　Then, 61-year-old former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Buddy Plant, stepped down from a slowly approaching carriage.

　Despite being more than twenty years younger than the "Silent Sage," Ms. Plant was remarkably robust. Yet, a hint of the natural arrogance of someone in a high position lingered in her eyes.

　After she was invited into the mansion, Monica Cook, the former tutor of the two princesses, finally arrived late.

　Finally, there's "Silver Wolf Knight" Camilla.

　Camilla entered the Duke's mansion openly and without any attempt to conceal her identity, dressed in casual clothes.

　Clearly, she and her family members have reached a consensus on certain aspects regarding this extreme event.

　For example, a marriage alliance?

　Looking across the entire capital, at least for now, there seems to be no one more suitable for their jewel than Dark Dimon.

　The only problem is that Dark's combat skills are slightly lacking, which doesn't fit the general aesthetic of the Gretel family.

　……

　In the reception room.

　The head maid, Jasmine, walked in from outside and whispered a few words.

　"Is everyone here? Where's Camilla?" Arvit asked.

　Ms. Jasmine nodded and said, "Everyone has arrived, including Mrs. Camilla."

　Alvie nodded, then turned to Dark, who was seated at the head of the table, and asked, "Who should start?"

　Dark tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice and said, "First come, first served."

　Jasmine immediately said, "That's Miss Debbie Giles, and next up is Sage Buckner Cyrus."

　Dark looked up and said, "Then let that senior go first."

　Jasmine: "Yes, young master."

　After speaking, Jasmine left the reception room.

　The people in the meeting room composed themselves and waited for the interviewees.

　About three minutes later, Debbie Giles entered the room, guided by Jasmine.

　A chair was placed in the middle of the reception room.

　Jasmine smiled and said, "Please sit down."

　Debbie Giles sat down somewhat awkwardly and faced the four judges.

　"what?"

　Her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the only non-human among the four judges.

　But the image in her mind immediately reminded her that the white cat was Dark Dimon's magical spirit, which had appeared in the dueling tournament!

　"Why would they let a magical spirit be a judge?"

　Debbie Giles couldn't help but think.

　"Even if Junior Dimon's magical spirits have extremely high intelligence, they still wouldn't be able to serve as judges under these circumstances, would they?"

　This unexpected event caused her to lose her composure.

　This loss of composure was immediately noticed by Dark and the others.

　“Debbie Giles, a recent graduate of St. Marian.”

　Dark carefully examined the senior student and said, "Let's start with self-introductions."

　"Ok."

　Debbie Giles immediately began introducing herself.

　This introduction is clearly more concise and clear than the information on paper, and it also has a better distinction between the main points and the supporting details.

　At least in her self-introduction, she was impeccable.

　Dark was fairly satisfied, so he continued to ask, "Gales, tell me, as a formal archmage who graduated from St. Marian Academy, why did you think of applying for a job here?"

　Debbie Giles breathed a slight sigh of relief, then said, "I'm a student of the Fool's House. I didn't have much of a foundation when I graduated, so I need to rely on my own efforts to continuously accumulate experience in order to go further on the path of becoming a mage. Besides, I've personally seen Junior Dimon; if you're the one I need to teach..."

　"stop."

　Dak raised her hand, interrupting her narration.

　"I need to correct something here, you can read the full text for free here..."

　The one who needs to be taught is not me, but my magical spirit.

　……

　Debbie Giles looked on in astonishment for a moment.

　Clearly, they hadn't expected this at all.

　But she quickly knocked on the Tailmon sitting next to Dark, and hesitated, "A magical spirit, with sufficient learning ability?"

　Gatomon, who was being stared at, frowned slightly and asked directly, "You have doubts about this?"

　This opening statement really startled Debbie Giles.

　After a long pause, she cautiously asked, "What do I need to do?"

　Dak frowned and said, "Didn't the job requirements say that basic education must be completed within three months?"

　Debbie Jarston immediately looked miserable: "But I thought it was about teaching... or at most, teaching other noble children."

　Dark: "Don't tell me what you think, tell me what I think."

　“Alright, don’t make things difficult for her,” Claire said, trying to smooth things over. “So, Giles, do you have any other questions about the requirement to complete the basic education of magical elves within three months?”

　Debbie Giles said helplessly, "Professor, I have no confidence in teaching non-humans how to learn."

　Claire smiled slightly and looked at Dark: "I think this interview can be concluded now, right?"

　Dark nodded: "Then, Senior Giles, thank you for coming."

　Debbie Giles said with a hint of disappointment, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm lacking something."

　Dark looked at her carefully, then suddenly said, "If you're still interested, the Florty family seems to be short of a tutor. You could give it a try."

　“The Florty family?” Debbie Giles thought for a moment, then looked up and said, “I’ll go and see them, thank you.”

　Dak nodded and said, "Then we'll meet again someday."

　……

　After Debbie Giles left, Dark sighed slightly, "It's a pity. I was hoping she would teach some basic magic at the academy."

　Alvit said gently, "Not everyone can accept becoming a teacher of magical spirits, and she has just graduated, so she probably doesn't have much confidence in her teaching ability."

　“There’s no other way,” Dark said, taking a sip of tea. “Let’s move on to the next one.”
