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

　Professor Thompson's voice was somewhat somber: "Add more homework."

　……

　Still engrossed in exploring the secret passage, the students were unaware of the disastrous consequences of their actions.

　Perhaps because more and more people are entering the secret passage, not many people care about getting lost.

　They talked about "adventure," but they didn't really take it seriously, especially the older students.

　Just go on an adventure in the dungeon.

　Let's treat this secret passage, which doesn't even have any monsters, as an autumn outing!

　In any case, people who own the Gourmet Series Magic Cards are very popular.

　Even Darko Dimon became less cautious after encountering a few strangers.

　In addition, Diana brought a lot of snacks with her "fully armed" gear. So they gradually became part of the outing group.

　But you know what?

　With this change in mindset, even the previously repetitive secret passages became interesting.

　Dak gradually discovered that there were truly many talented people among the students.

　Someone actually put up road signs at the intersection, and each road sign was labeled with a number.

　Dark drew maps directly from the road signs, and surprisingly, he gradually produced quite a few.

　Then, around seven o'clock, he finally found the second landmark on the treasure map, a lampstand mixed in with the other torches.

　The base of the lampstand is shaped like an elephant's trunk.

　The Valkyrie actually drew a lifelike little elephant on the treasure map...

　"It's only seven o'clock now, it seems there's still a chance to find another landmark."

　Dark continued his search with some delight.

　Diana and Rose, who finally made a discovery in the secret passage, were even more excited than Darke himself, as if they had found a treasure.

　Let's go deeper inside.

　Dak stumbled upon the two heroes, and noticed that Witt was carrying the homework sheet and running around rather hurriedly. He wondered if Witt had found anything.

　Anyway, the two treasure maps weren't the same, so Dark didn't pay much attention.

　On his way back, however, he saw Emma Metis standing alone in a secret passage, quickly sketching the murals on the wall in her notebook.

　When Dak saw the stickers on the wall, he suddenly realized that this was a place he had been before.

　At the time, he didn't see any murals or anything like that!

　"Are these newly discovered murals?"

　After a moment's thought, Dak whispered a few words to Diana and Rose, then took out his notebook and quickly sketched.

　Emma glanced at him and said in a serious tone, "I found it first."

　Dark nodded quickly: "Yes, if the research yields the same results, your name will be listed first."

　“Okay.” Emma then continued to observe and describe.

　……

　Diana leaned against the wall, cracking open a chocolate shell on a sunflower seed, and watched Dark and Emma's increasingly focused expressions. She whispered to Rose, "They're so serious."

　Rose hesitated for a moment and said, "Shouldn't we learn this too?"

　Diana said, perplexed, "Sigh, even if I draw it, I still won't understand it."

　Rose was silent.

　She couldn't understand it either.

　However, she quickly added, "We can look around and see if there are any similar murals in the nearby secret passages."

　Diana's eyes lit up: "That's right, this way we can help Dark."

　She immediately regained her energy.

　Rose couldn't help but shake her head and smile, but there was also a hint of envy in her own expression as she looked at Dark and Emma.

　"They look so alike."

　……

　The secret passage was indeed changing silently.

　Especially after more and more students began to explore the secret passage as a maze, some less positive changes occurred.

　A new secret passage appeared within the secret passage.

　Mechanical doors leading to other roads appeared on the wall.

　A tunnel appeared beneath our feet, leading to the lower level.

　A Minotaur with the head of a bull and the body of a man, wielding a battle axe, stepped out from the wall, a hint of bloodlust in its eyes.

　Robert Broheim watched almost as the monster, which looked remarkably like Witt's familiar, was gradually born, and he let out a scream.

　……

　The secret passage is alive!

Chapter 125 Is There Something Wrong with Our Encounter in the Dungeon?

　"Robert!"

　Upon hearing the scream, Witt Gold immediately rushed over.

　He drew out "Troll" with lightning speed. In just a few seconds of normal summoning, a troll nearly four meters tall landed in a burst of light. The giant beast, which reached his knees, suddenly raised itself up and blocked the battle axe that slammed down!

　Robert, who was being blocked by the giant, was so scared that he almost peed his pants. His legs trembled and he froze on the spot.

　Witt quickly grabbed his arm and ran backwards.

　"Moo!"

　The Minotaur, which was even taller than the giant, suddenly inhaled and roared, its arm muscles bulging, and with a force that came down from its back, it slammed its battle axe down!

　"Pfft!"

　The troll's magic gushed out like blood, and the battle axe cleaved off its entire left arm from its left shoulder down!

　Witt and Robert didn't dare to turn around. The giant's screams kept coming, and it was no match for the minotaur!

　Just moments later, Witt felt the "Troll" card in his hand tremble slightly, and the starlight gathered together, reforming the image of the troll.

　However, at this point, the Magical Spirit Card had become dull and would take a very long time to recover.

　Witt knew something was wrong, and unconsciously picked up the "Forbidden Love" card.

　He secretly tried it after entering the secret passage, and the effect of "Forbidden Love" was still there. The little mist figure could respond to his call and even guide him.

　However, having just suffered a loss, he dared not follow the advice of the villain.

　But now, facing the terrifying Minotaur, he can only rely on this "forbidden love" that once betrayed him.

　This made him feel extremely powerless.

　……

　nine thirty.

　Although Dac came later, he painted the mural faster than Emma.

　He had long discovered his talent for painting, and coupled with his seemingly naturally steady fingers, he could copy quickly and accurately.

　Only after he finished painting did he begin to carefully examine the mural from beginning to end.

　The entire mural depicts a very ancient story and has a style reminiscent of Egyptian murals.

　The first painting depicts ragged poor people digging cartloads of ore from a mine.

　The second painting depicts a blacksmith, half-naked, forging ore into standard square bricks.

　The third painting depicts merchants dressed in plain clothes selling baskets of bricks to nobles.

　The fourth painting depicts nobles in rich attire using square bricks to build a tower-like structure on an altar.

　The fifth painting depicts thousands of humans praying for the arrival of a certain being beneath an altar.

　In the sixth painting, a colossal beast, radiant with light, emerges from a black hole in the sky during a sacrificial ceremony.

　The seventh painting depicts a ferocious and greedy beast roaring as it devours all the offerings and humans.

　The eighth painting depicts a bizarre pattern formed by human blood and corpses on the ground.

　There are eight paintings in total.

　Dac put the most effort into the eighth painting. But he managed to make a fairly detailed copy of it.

　He always felt that what the painting was trying to express was particularly strange and also particularly valuable for research.

　In the absence of certainty that the mural will disappear, copying it is the best course of action.

　"Dak-dak!"

　After failing to find a new mural, Diana, who had been wandering around aimlessly, suddenly ran back.

　Dark turned his head with some confusion.

　Diana gasped, "Did you hear a cow mooing? A really, really loud one?"

　Dak was about to say he hadn't heard it, but then a cow mooing sound came right away.

　"Moo!"

　That cry wasn't just fierce, it was absolutely ferocious!

　Dark instinctively pulled out his Sorting Card, only to realize that the sound was still some distance away.

　"Did someone release a magical spirit?"

　"Could it be that a monster was born in this secret passage?"

　Both thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.

　Dark quickly put the notebook into his shoulder bag, then glanced at Emma, ​​who was still drawing, and reminded her, "It's time to go!"

　Emma gave him only a quick glance before continuing to draw, but her writing speed was noticeably faster.

　Just as Dak was about to speak again, he suddenly noticed that the mural on the far left was starting to fade. An idea struck him, and he immediately said, "If you can't finish it, I'll lend it to you when we get back."

　But when he said that, Emma gritted her teeth and became even more focused.

　"Moo!"

　The calls suddenly grew closer.

　Dark's expression changed slightly. He immediately grabbed Emma's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "It might be a monster. Don't be reckless."

　Emma froze.

　This time, I quickly put the pen away and placed it in my bag.

　Dark breathed a slight sigh of relief and immediately shouted, "Let's go, get to a crowded place as quickly as possible, and find the older students..."

　Diana and Rose were very obedient at this point, and the four of them quickly left the passage, while the murals behind them disappeared at a visible speed.

　But just as the four of them turned a corner, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps and panting coming from the other side of the wall.

　Upon closer listening, Dak heard Robert's scream, Witt's roar, and the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

　He immediately realized that the bull monster, whether it was a magical spirit or a demon, was chasing after Witt and Robert!

　A conflicted look appeared on Dak's face.

　Having just experienced the danger posed by the goddess, he really didn't want to put himself in danger again.

　However, Witt and Robert were classmates in the same grade.

　Just as he was agonizing over this, Emma recognized the two voices and exclaimed, "It's Witt and Robert!"

　Immediately afterwards, Robert's joyful voice came from next door: "It's Emma! We're saved..."
