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

　He had to concentrate to the extreme, without the slightest distraction, in order to prepare for the start of the "ritual".

　Yes, a ceremony.

　The process of opening the "Eye of Truth" is a ritual.

　The magic cards that Professor Kazel distributed were all arcane cards!

　Dark had recently learned a great deal about ritual summoning and esoteric cards in his "Summoning Class" and wanted to try making his first esoteric card, but he hadn't included it in his plans yet.

　On the one hand, his knowledge is not yet comprehensive enough.

　On the other hand, he had no idea what kind of "Mystic Card" he wanted to create.

　Let's not get into idle talk.

　Professor Kazel gave the students nearly fifteen minutes to observe, familiarize themselves with, and record the "Mystic Cards"—the "Ritual of Truth"—in their hands.

　Then, a more detailed explanation was given on how to activate this unfinished "Mystic Card".

　Once everything was ready, he said, “The opening status of the ‘Eye of Truth’ varies from person to person. Whether it’s open or not, don’t exclaim excessively. Your classmates may be in a critical period. Now, place the pad of your index finger over the eye of the ‘Ritual of Truth,’ close your eyes, concentrate, and infuse magic into the ‘Ritual of Truth’ as I instructed. Finally, entrust everything to ‘Truth.’”

　The students, who were already eager to get started, immediately pressed the pads of their right index fingers onto the eye pattern on the "Ceremony of Truth" magic card, then closed their eyes and began to gather their magic power.

　Upon hearing this, Dak immediately began as well.

　The moment his eyes closed, his long-trained attention focused on a single point.

　Then a strange feeling immediately arose.

　The magic power gradually activating within the body seemed to be guided, and without any deliberate mobilization, it was absorbed into the "Ritual of Truth".

　He didn't know if others felt the same way, and at that moment he could only concentrate on his work.

　As Professor Cazell said, leave everything to "truth".

　His mind gradually calmed down, and the magic flowed naturally.

　……

　Professor Kazel watched as each of the "Rituals of Truth" on the table below lit up one after another, then placed the magic card called "Gate of Truth" on the lectern and pressed it down.

　With the infusion of a large amount of magic, this unique "Gate of Truth" slowly lit up.

　The light, like that of seven-colored glass, gradually began to shimmer.

　The vortex gate depicted on the card began to rotate, drawing the surrounding darkness towards a single point.

　As the entire card surface became chaotic, the vortex gate eventually condensed into a single, extremely black dot.

　At the same time, the same black spots appeared on the classroom ceiling.

　The black dot rotates in reverse, gradually unfolding into a circular magic circle.

　In the very center of the magic array, a golden door containing chaos slowly opened!

　In that moment.

　The "Ceremony of Truth" in front of each student also unfolded the exact same magic circle and golden gate.

　However, the magic circle and the gate were only the size of a textbook.

　As all thirty miniature magic arrays were deployed, each miniature golden gate began to rotate clockwise at a completely different speed.

　Golden threads hung down from the golden door in the ceiling.

　Thirty golden threads descended to the top of each person's head, but stopped mid-air instead of continuing downwards.

　An eerie atmosphere gradually filled the classroom.

　Every student with their eyes closed felt something strange at that moment.

　But following Professor Cazell's instructions, they made no attempt to open their eyes to look at anything from beginning to end.

　……

　The "Gate of Truth" is extremely dangerous.

　While people are frantically pursuing "truth," they are also always at risk of being swallowed up by "truth."

　None of the students present would underestimate this.

　……

　A grand ceremony consisting of one "Gate of Truth" and thirty "Rituals of Truth" unfolded in this classroom.

　Professor Kazel focused intently on the ceremony, bringing it to a successful conclusion.

　Suddenly he narrowed his eyes and saw transparent, water-like monsters that lacked a specific shape, appearing out of thin air.

　The monsters approached the students, whispering in their ears and looking at them with their eyes and sniffing with their noses.

　But they make no sound and have no smell whatsoever.

　Those who keep their eyes closed will not discover their existence.

　Therefore, they will naturally not be attacked by them.

　Professor Cazell was prepared to annihilate it at any moment. But even as the ritual reached its most crucial moment, no one quietly opened their eyes.

　This put him at ease a little.

　……

　Dak kept his eyes tightly closed the entire time.

　It was completely different from when I entered the "Gate of Truth".

　The ritual of opening the "Eye of Truth" does not bring a person's consciousness into a certain "world".

　All that surrounded his consciousness was darkness.

　What they need to do is concentrate in this darkness, do nothing, and think nothing.

　We must not let our minds be misled by distracting thoughts.

　Maintain a high level of concentration consistently and for an extended period.

　This seems simple, but it's not easy to do.

　Darkness can encourage a flood of distracting thoughts.

　Rituals facilitate this process.

　The Ritual of Truth will fail if the heart cannot be guarded.

　……

　Time passed slowly, and the ceremony only began to conclude fifteen minutes later.

　Of the thirty students present, none were eliminated.

　Golden eyes were reflected almost simultaneously between their brows.

　……

　Golden eyes will shine into the soul, opening a door to the truth in eternal darkness.

　When students "open their eyes" in their hearts, the "eye of truth" will open accordingly!

　……

　At this point in the ceremony, only the final step remained.

　Professor Cazell carefully observed the face of each student, hoping that one of them would be the first to "open his eyes".

　Each of the thirty students in the audience had been vetted by him and possessed sufficient aptitude for the "Eye of Truth."

　In theory, they can all open their eyes successfully.

　But theory is one thing, reality is always full of discrepancies.

　Anything can happen before a conclusion is reached.

　Moreover, the closer to the critical moment, the more likely unexpected events are to occur.

　Professor Cazell had extensive experience in this area, and he focused his attention on being ready to act at any moment.

　"Ah."

　Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and he looked first at Elsie Kevin, a third-year student.

　This third-year student, who had won the Halloween "Crimson Star" award in first grade, was the first to show signs of "opening his eyes"! vipkanshu.com

　Almost immediately, the golden thread hovering above Elsie Kevin's head suddenly trembled at its tip, then abruptly stretched downwards, just touching the top of Elsie Kevin's head.

　The golden eye phantom between Elsie Kevin's eyebrows flickered for a moment, as if something tiny, like an insect, was about to crawl out from under his skin.

　Professor Cazell's fingers twitched slightly, his concentration growing even stronger.

　But just seconds later, the golden eye phantom between Elsie Kevin's eyebrows suddenly froze.

　The skin beneath its eyes silently cracked open, and a golden, eyeball-like sphere was forced out from the crack, merging with the phantom of that golden eye.

　During this process, the entire eye went from blurry to solid, and then was completely imprinted on his brow.

　"—"

　Like the vibration of a vibrating harp string, a sound that only Elsie Kevin could hear suddenly rang out, and the golden threads above his head quickly faded until they disappeared completely.

　The golden eye between Elsie Kevin's eyebrows transformed into the complete "Eye of Truth".

　His own eyes remained closed, but the "Eye of Truth" suddenly opened, emanating the aura of "truth".

　In that instant, he "saw" the outside world.

　……

　"One."

　Professor Cazell nodded slightly, praising Elsie Kevin's success.

　He then looked at the other students—two of them simultaneously showed signs of having their eyes opened.

　……

　The "eye of truth" is essentially a "window" and does not have much difference.

　However, they do differ in their forms of expression.

　Elsie Kevin's "Eye of Truth" is the most standard type, located between the eyebrows.

　In addition to these, there is also a type that overlaps with the left and right eyes.

　Even rarer are those with openings in the palm or even the navel.

　While the above types of "Eye of Truth" do not affect their function, they do affect their aesthetics.

　……

　Following Elsie Kevin, more students have had their eyes opened.

　Their "Eye of Truth" was mostly located between their eyebrows. Differences only appeared with Emma Metis and Sara Swati.

　Emma's "Eye of Truth" overlaps with her left eye, while Sarah's "Eye of Truth" overlaps with her right eye.

　After they both opened their eyes, they subconsciously looked at the students in the back row. Only after discovering that he showed no signs of opening his eyes did they curiously look at the other upperclassmen.

　Gradually, more than half of the students opened their "eyes of truth".

　The number of those invisible monsters that roamed among the students gradually decreased.

　The students could see their existence after opening their "Eyes of Truth," but none of them expressed surprise.

　Professor Kazel had already given a detailed explanation of this before.

　This monster is called "The Filth of Truth".

　They are the defilement of truth.

　It will pollute the mind.

　However, once the "Eye of Truth" is opened and the connection with the "Gate of Truth" is firmly established, these "filths of truth" will dissipate on their own.

　As time went by, more and more students opened their "eyes of truth".
