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

　Dark quickly understood how to use the "Lock of Suppression" and, at Professor Sylph's direction, headed towards the "Reading Room".

　As soon as he opened the door to the "reading room," he discovered four people and a bear hiding inside.

　Katrina, Britney, Diana, Rose, and the baby bear were all hiding inside, eavesdropping.

　"Hehe." Diana took a step back, hid her hands behind her back, bent down to look at the jade ring in Dark's hand, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

　"The Lock of Suppression, didn't you hear that?"

　As he spoke, Dak grabbed the baby bear by the scruff of its neck with one hand and sat down on the sofa.

　Despite the cub's struggles, it was still being held down on Dak's lap.

　Then it grabbed the little bear's left arm and slipped a jade ring engraved with the word "lock" onto it.

　It is visibly loose and saggy.

　“太大了吗？”

　Dak had no choice but to take out the jade ring and stare menacingly at the little bear's neck.

　"Woof!" The little bear immediately sensed something and hurriedly wiggled its limbs, trying to escape.

　But when Dak lifted it up, its limbs were suspended in the air, and it could only wave them around like a dog paddle.

　No matter how strong it is, it can't run if its feet don't touch the ground.

　Dak squinted and laughed, then grabbed its head and squeezed it flat!

　It truly lives up to its reputation as the parasitic shell of a "parasite".

　It's just like a teddy bear; you can knead and shape it however you like.

　Dak quickly and successfully put the jade ring around its neck.

　Although the jade ring is somewhat subtle because it lacks a "wearing device," its "suppressive" effect is undeniable.

　Dark put another jade ring on his left wrist and then infused it with magic.

　The two jade rings then blended into the skin, leaving only two faint stripes.

　Dak immediately realized that there was an invisible "line" between him and the baby bear.

　Through this "line," he could clearly sense the flow of magic within the baby bear and its location.

　Then, by simply injecting magic into the stripes on the wrist, one can suppress the flow of magic and even cause the stripes to exert a binding force, physically shrinking and suppressing them.

　The set of magical tools hastily made in Kazel's classroom was indeed quite useful.

　Dak raised his hand and conducted a small experiment.

　The next moment, the little bear's neck suddenly tightened, and the flow of magic within its body instantly stopped. The whole bear wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

　"It works well."

　Dark released the "suppression" and couldn't help but laugh.

　With the "Suppression Lock," he was finally able to safely keep monsters in the clubroom.

　But the little bear cub, with its limbs drooping, couldn't manage a smile.

　……

　living room.

　After Duck left, Professor Sylph and Claire both looked up at the sky.

　Then a human head popped out from the ceiling.

　Professor Lily, who was making funny faces, was glared at by Professor Sylph, but she remained oblivious and continued to laugh.

　Professor Sylph was too lazy to bother with her and asked, "If Dark is going with us, you will be responsible for his safety."

　"Bingo!" Professor Lily made a circle with her right index finger and thumb, pressing it against her round, big eyes like a monocle, her face beaming with excitement.

　Something interesting finally happened.

　The little fairy's curiosity was about to burst out of her chest.

　Lily knew very well that she would not normally be on Professor Sylph's team roster.

　But now that she had overheard it, Sylph was no longer in control of the situation!

　But now it seems that Sylph is quite sensible.

　She thought to herself with a smug satisfaction.

　……

　As Professor Lily retreated back from the ceiling, Claire's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

　"The little imp is as naive as ever, completely unaware that Sylph has placed a lock on her—Little Dark is her 'lock of suppression.'"

　……

　Professor Sylph and Claire didn't talk there for long. They called Lily and returned to the faculty dormitory to continue their in-depth discussion.

　After the professors left, the atmosphere in the Fantastic Beasts Club finally became lively.

　Katrina and Britney sat around the guest table, excitedly speculating about how thrilling the professors' underground adventure would be, and casting envious glances at the club president who might be joining them—who could see through the walls.

　Meanwhile, Diana and Rose were busy with their homework.

　The little guhuo bird, which had escaped from the room, jumped onto the table with a "waa waa" sound and started causing trouble everywhere.

　Inside the "reading room," Dak continued to pry the bright red melon pulp from the baby bear's mouth and eat it in big bites.

　It wasn't until 9:30 p.m. that Dark reluctantly left the Magical Creatures Club, returning to his dormitory with some of the magical creatures.

　Afterwards, he waited for Aurora to deliver a late-night snack. He chatted with her about Victoria and Phoenix's studies and lives, and discussed the teaching content of the "mathematics class".

　Dak did not forget his "teaching assistant" duties. He spent some time continuing to prepare before washing up and "meditating".

　As the night deepened, he lay in bed staring at the ceiling, and the system list of "major sins" gradually appeared before his eyes.

　The situation regarding "major crimes" this month is not good.

　[Arrogance: 91→92]

　Jealousy: 42 → 43

　[Rage: 83→92]

　Laziness: 63 → 60

　Greed: 92 → 98

　[Binge eating: 79 → 87]

　[Paradise: 91→93]

　On September 10th, the situation was still favorable.

　But just twenty days later, everything seemed to collapse.

　The entire list looks like a mountain road ravaged by a mudslide, with mountains of mud and gravel everywhere.

　Dak blinked and immediately began to reflect deeply on his actions.

　In September, I drew a total of 2 points of "Pride", 10 points of "Bliss" and 8 points of "Greed", for a total of 20 points.

　However, even with such a large amount extracted, it still cannot offset the growth.

　"Arrogance" was somewhat restrained, with a net increase of only 1 point.

　The fluctuations in "jealousy" are harmless.

　"Laziness" is the only one that decreased.

　This shows that he was diligent enough in September, and even gained recognition for being "lazy".

　Although "Paradise" is still growing, it is barely maintaining stability because a full ten points have been drawn.

　The other three "major sins" are the most serious areas of disaster.

　"Rage" jumped from 83 points to 92 points due to the "Gate of Truth," clearly exceeding the threshold for drawing!

　Because of the "late-night snack trap," the "binge eating" score has increased from 79 to 87, a full 8 points more!

　Three more points indicate that "binge eating" will cross the threshold, making the situation extremely serious.

　The most frightening thing is that "binge eating" is different from "rage"; it accumulates daily, and will likely continue to accumulate...

　Even so, it still pales in comparison to "greed".

　With 8 points deducted, "Greed" net gains 6 points!

　It reached a peak of 98 points!

　Even when Dark sensed something was wrong, he actually exercised restraint.

　However, the dungeon was a den of iniquity that fueled his greed, leaving him nowhere to hide.

　Each time he spurred the evolution of the "Trash Slime," and each time he found a treasure chest, his greed became uncontrollable.

　But there was really no other way.

　Unboxing is so much fun!

　……

　After this dungeon adventure, Dark is now very clear that he is completely unable to resist the temptation of treasure chests.

　There seem to be only two ways to curb greed.

　The first method is to leave the "Trash Slime" in the dormitory or club classroom; in short, you can't bring it into the dungeon.

　The second method is to reduce the number of times you go on dungeon adventures, which means you can simply not go into dungeons at all.

　……

　The thought that he was still worrying about not having absorbed enough of the "great sins" in early September made Dak realize that he was sometimes quite naive.

　He did a quick count of the remaining reserves of "major sins":

　[Arrogance]: 2

　Greed: 5

　[Paradise]: 7

　The existing stock is still acceptable.

　Currently, the "great sins" available for study that exceed 90 points are:

　[Arrogance]: 2

　[Rage]: 2

　Greed: 8

　[Paradise]: 3

　There are already a full fifteen points!

　This was all that could be drawn in a month before the "Netherworld God Technique" had even reached the beginner level.

　Even if the "Netherworld God Technique" reaches the initial level, it only adds five points.

　If we can successfully hitch a ride with the professors in October, then we'll have to enter the dungeon at least once more.

　But that should be Friday, October 11th.

　This will not affect the October draw plan.

　Dark glanced at "Gluttony" and thought to himself that this was a potential star.

　"In short, we need to extract as much of the excess funds as possible; the 'Silver Cup,' which opens on the 4th, is also a hurdle."

　"It's bitter, baby, it's bitter!"

　……

　The next day.

　After throwing the first-year students into the ocean of mathematics for an hour and a half, Dark finished the lessons on "History of Magic" and "Warcraft Studies".

　Professor Ryan Haxes recounts many heroes who have appeared in history in "A History of Magic".
