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

　Although "Paradise" had already won the competition, this "Zoo" was the first field card he personally crafted.

　Therefore, it contains a different meaning.

　Unfortunately, among his current magical spirits, he only possesses eight "bird-beast" type magical spirits.

　If we let Devimon evolve into BlackGatomon, we could barely add one more.

　However, this is not enough to build a bird and beast deck centered around "zoo".

　Moreover, a single "zoo" is unlikely to form a complete system.

　He needs to purchase more materials to craft more "zoo" items after returning to the academy, and learn more series of magic cards from Claire.

　……

　Dac did not continue experimenting with the effects of the "zoo" model.

　He de-embodyed the "zoo" after a while.

　As the massive complex disappeared, the tutors came over.

　Ms. Plant marveled, "The Magister's field cards are so beautiful! I wish I could get my hands on a 'Botanical Garden' field card someday!"

　Sage Cyrus glanced at her and said, "That's probably difficult. There's no universal type for magic cards of this caliber."

　Ms. Plant raised her voice: "Is it too late to start learning magic now?"

　Cyrus smiled slightly and said, "Of course there's enough time. After all, learning is endless. I plan to start teaching those lovely students some basic magical knowledge in August. You can also come and audit the classes."

　Ms. Plant raised an eyebrow and said, "Coincidentally, I'm also planning to start teaching them some grass magic in August."

　Sellers narrowed his eyes immediately: "I really hope Ms. Plant won't use your assignments to take up the students' time for learning magic. Especially since I heard you also want them to write observation journals about the growth of flowers and plants? What couldn't they do with that time? Cough, cough!"

　I'll cough you up!

　Ms. Plant glared at him and didn't bother arguing.

　Camilla, standing to the side, covered her mouth and smiled gently and gracefully.

　Diana and Aurora were somewhat surprised.

　Dark rubbed his forehead, then suddenly asked, "Where's Teacher Cook?"

　Camilla smiled and said, "He must have been kept after school."

　Dark was taken aback: "It's been more than an hour since the last class ended, hasn't it?"

　……

　If someone is kept in the classroom for more than an hour, is that still considered keeping someone in the classroom?

　Dark couldn't help but feel...happy for the magical spirits!

　It's so great to have a teacher as dedicated and responsible as Ms. Cook!

　Dark said in a flash, "Since it's already this late, why don't you all stay and have dinner together?"

　"Yeah!"

　"Clap!"

　卡米拉按住狄安娜的脑袋，微笑道：“时间确实不早了，我家那位应该已经等急了，就不留下来了。104;116;116;112;58;47;47;119;119;119;46;50;99;121;120;115;119;46;99;111;109;47;”

　Following that, Sage Cyrus and Lady Plant expressed the same sentiment.

　Dark didn't insist that she stay, but simply told Diana, "Tomorrow as usual."

　Diana's eyes lit up, and she immediately waved and said, "See you tomorrow!"

　Dark raised his hand and waved lightly, then smiled and said, "See you tomorrow."

　Tomorrow is Saturday, which should be a weekend.

　But Arvitt did not mention this, so Dak made the decision himself.

　He hadn't forgotten his promise that once the "zoo" was successfully completed, he would take Diana and Aurora out for a stroll.

　Tomorrow is the weekend, and the magical spirits will also be on holiday. None of the four tutors will be coming.

　In other words, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!

　……

　"After such a long period of training and learning, it's time to relax a bit."

　Dark saw Diana and the others off from the Duke's mansion, then returned to his residence. He glanced at the classroom of the magical elves a few times before happily slipping away.

　When it was time for dinner, he had his maid invite Ms. Cook to dine.

　Ms. Cook, unable to refuse, went to the restaurant.

　Taking advantage of the meal, Dak proposed a mid-month phase test.

　Ms. Cook understood immediately and agreed on the spot.

　Then Dark took a more in-depth yet accessible look at the magical spirits' learning progress.

　Because he has always been busy with his own training and studies, he has inevitably neglected the learning progress of the magical spirits.

　After hearing what Ms. Cook said tonight, it's pretty much the same as what Devimon said.

　He nodded slightly, instructing Ms. Cook to intensify her discipline of the vampire heiress and Phoenix Girl. If they misbehaved, don't hesitate to call their parents!

　Because he didn't lower his voice at all when he spoke, the magical elves who were gradually becoming more skilled at using knives and forks heard him and immediately became wary, as if they were on the verge of battle.

　The vampire heiress, in particular, has sharp eyes, as if she is surrounded by enemies.

　……

　After dinner, Dak and Ms. Cook discussed the details of the phase test for a while, and Dak even took out his textbook and recommended "Mathematics 1" to her.

　After a quick glance through "Mathematics 1," Ms. Cook quickly realized how excellent the textbook was.

　She was amazed and immediately said, "Give me some time to prepare the lesson. I will start using this textbook after the test in the middle of the month."

　Dak smiled, very satisfied.

　At approximately eight o'clock, he summoned the Dragon Guard and ordered him to take Ms. Cook home.

　The capital city is now a melting pot of all sorts of people, and it's no longer safe to travel at night. Only with the Dragon Guards accompanying him can he feel at ease.

　Dak did not return to his residence until the carriage had left.

　He sat in his bedroom for a while, then couldn't resist coming to the classroom—the laboratory.

　I've been busy with the "zoo" for the past two days, which has prevented me from focusing on the forging of the "drive weapon".

　Now that the "zoo" has finally been successfully built, he can finally let loose.

　To achieve perfection, he even called Miaomiao over.

　"Meow meow meow!"

　Meow Meow was also quite excited.

　The two, one human and one cat, quickly completed the preparations for the experiment.

　Dark's failures during this period were not in vain; he had figured out some of the problems and was somewhat confident about tonight's success.

　The core of "Drive Armament" is the driver—but that's only on the surface!

　For any "armed" card, the most important thing is the armament itself.

　When teaching "Drive Armaments", Arvitt cited the fact that it was not necessary to design the weapon itself as a major advantage in the creation of "Drive Armaments".

　She believes that all that is needed is to design a specific model in the mind and then present it through a "driver".

　She herself has always done that.

　But after repeated attempts over this period, Dark discovered that there was a trap hidden in it.

　Alvit's talent in "armament" transmutation is unparalleled, and her perception and construction of three-dimensional space are also extremely strong. Otherwise, she would not have been able to develop the three-dimensional "Tri-Armor Transmutation Array".

　With that innate talent, she could fully construct the rich details of the weapon's physical form in her mind.

　Others, however, cannot.

　At least for now, Dark Knight cannot do that at all.

　Therefore, he always makes mistakes in the process of "driving the weapon".

　Even if one succeeds by chance, the resulting "drive weapon" is far from ideal.

　So after summarizing the experience, Dark decided to overturn Arvit's idea and adopt a relatively clumsy method, which is to make the "driver" and "weapon" themselves, and then fuse them together!

　In order to make the "Driver" and the "Armor" be regarded as a whole during the forging process.

　He incorporated a kind of "model thinking" into it.

　In other words, it imitates the model toys of Transformers and achieves this idea by creating "drivers" that can "transform and arm" in a physical sense.

　It's actually not that difficult.

　The biggest problem is that weapons made in this way are likely to be boxy robotic in shape. Not only will they lack aesthetic appeal, but they also cannot be worn close to the body and will be less flexible.

　Therefore, when designing, Dark simply abandoned the so-called "flexibility".

　Even now, the definition of "armor" for mages is still just an "outer shell".

　Since they're all outer shells, why do they have to be worn close to the skin?

　Wouldn't setting up a cockpit inside solve many problems?

　Do it when you think of it.

　The existence of magical technology is to realize all possibilities.

　Dac immediately unfolded the blueprints and began designing.

　He had many memories of "giant robots." But there were just too many details to keep track of.

　Moreover, to create "armor" like "Gundam" or "Eva", more complex and rarer materials are obviously required.

　Although there are many materials in the laboratory, they are all basic materials.

　Therefore, his initial idea was to make some simple toys first.

　Let's start with that!

　Memories of his childhood from his previous life surfaced in his mind, and Dark couldn't help but smile gently.

　He began to continue the unfinished design on the blueprints.

　The specific shapes don't need to be exactly the same; the most important thing is that they can be disassembled and pieced together.

　The ultimate goal is to use the same components and assemble them in two different ways to create "armor" and "driver" respectively.

　As for the final result—it's not surprising that products from the initial stages of experimentation always have many shortcomings.

　Dak spent an hour completing a rough design, and then carefully explained his ideas to Meow Meow.

　After understanding, the cat immediately opened its eyes wide. Its eyes, which were always half-open, were wide open and round. It was obviously very interested in this.

　Only with interest can one dedicate oneself wholeheartedly.

　Don't worry.

　Dark then selected a type of "magic wood" from the material library as the main material.

　This "magic wood" is an alchemical product.

　Its essence is wood, but after alchemy, it became a special material that is somewhere between wood and metal.

　Therefore, it possesses both the plasticity of wood and the hardness and ductility of metal.

　Moreover, once the carving is complete, applying a special magic potion will completely transform it into a metallic-like material.

　In terms of material strength and rarity, it is not as good as "magic steel", but it is more economical.
