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

　Fern Morse was lying on one of the hospital beds, his face even paler than before, his face showing deep fatigue, and his colorful spiky hair had been shaved off!

　Sister Kallian showed no mercy, shaving his head completely, leaving not a single stubble.

　Fern Morse, without hair, actually looked more pleasing to the eye.

　Professor Cazell sat down next to him, while the three of them, including Dak, stood beside him.

　Professor Cazell said gently, "Do you recognize me? I am Professor Cazell, a second-year professor."

　Fern Morse opened his mouth and said weakly, "I know him, Professor of Alchemy."

　Professor Cazell smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous. You suddenly fainted on the stage, and we have already taken you to the infirmary. Sister Kallian is here, so you will be fine."

　……

　Sister Carlian's prestige seems to have taken deep root in the hearts of the students.

　Fern Morse's expression immediately turned even more grim.

　A glint of light flashed deep in Professor Kazel's eyes; the "Eye of Truth" quietly activated, penetrating straight to the soul.

　Fern Morse's inner thoughts were thus revealed.

　He couldn't help but glance at Sister Kallian, who had walked to the other side of the bed, but then lowered his head and said gently, "Sister Kallian's medical skills are still trustworthy. Do you still remember fainting on the competition stage?"

　Fern Morse looked around, slightly bewildered, when he suddenly noticed Dark Dimon standing behind Professor Cazell. His expression immediately changed, becoming even more grim.

　"Looks like you remember." Professor Cazell touched his nose and sighed.

　If it weren't for the Fern Morse incident, he would be playing games with his precious heart in the dungeon right now.

　However, the professors still held some sway, and Fern Morse finally spoke up: "I vaguely remember... I lost... I actually lost! Damn it! If I hadn't failed to draw 'Demon King,' how could I have lost!"

　Fern Morse suddenly became agitated and was on the verge of losing control.

　Sister Kallian then pointed a finger at the side of his neck, and he froze for a moment, his emotions visibly calming down.

　Professor Kazel nodded slightly and said, "In the arena, winning and losing are commonplace; no one can remain undefeated forever. You have simply passed through a necessary hurdle; there is no need to take it too seriously."

　Then a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

　Fern Morse had no recollection of being parasitized by the Brain Fluid Demon, nor did he even see the Brain Fluid Demon, before losing consciousness due to unbearable headaches on the contestant's platform.

　If Fern Morse didn't possess any technology to shield his brain or alter memories, then he was clearly just an innocent victim.

　While this did indeed align with his guess, it was still disappointing once it was confirmed.

　After all, this would make things even more complicated later on.

　Professor Cazell thought for a moment, then asked, "There wasn't a time when you suddenly felt that your emotions became difficult to control, or that you suddenly experienced a breakthrough in your magic or physical abilities?"

　Fern Morse was relatively cooperative, but while he was thinking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, and then everything went black as he fainted again.

　However, Professor Cazell had already glimpsed his thoughts at that moment.

　"The evening of September 28th? I remember that was a Saturday..."

　On weekends, students' range of activities becomes very wide. If they have also entered the underground city, it becomes even more difficult to trace their whereabouts.

　Professor Cazell looked up at Sister Kallian and said with some helplessness, "It seems we can't get anything out of him for the time being. Think of a way to remove the remaining brain fluid from his head... I mean, while he's still alive!"

　Sister Kallian frowned slightly, and after a long while said, "That's difficult. You should know that even among the medical skills I possess, very few involve the brain. The human brain hides many mysteries, and a single mistake can cause irreversible damage."

　Professor Kazel said directly, "I'll go with you."

　Sister Kallian immediately felt relieved: "Alright then."

　……

　The professors acted swiftly, and Professor Caze and Sister Kallian immediately began preparations for the "surgery".

　Darke went out with Professor Sylph and stayed in the outer room.

　After a moment's thought, Dark said, "Professor Sylph, if we can remove the remnants of the Brain Fluid Demon, I might be able to find more Brain Fluid Demons—if there are even more."

　Professor Sylph smiled naturally and said, "That's one of the reasons I asked you to come here. You can find so many treasure chests in the dungeon because of that, right?"

　Dark smiled and said, "Yes, my slime has gained some ability to find things after being enhanced. As long as it has something on hand, it can try to find more."

　Professor Sylph said, "Hopefully, we won't find too many brain fluid demons."

　More brain fluid demons mean more people are parasitized.

　But Dark shook his head and said, "What I'm worried about is not being able to find it."

　Professor Sylph asked, "Why?"

　Dark said, "This happened in the Duel Arena, and it must have spread throughout the entire academy by now. If someone really did implant the Brain Fluid Demon Root in Fern Morse's brain, they would definitely be on alert by now. If it were me, I would have destroyed the relevant items by now."

　Professor Sylph frowned immediately and said, "You're right. If that really happens, we'll have to use other methods."

　Dark asked curiously, "What method?"

　Professor Sylph said, "Let Cazell check them one by one."

　Upon hearing this, Dark couldn't help but say, "Wouldn't checking them one by one be too much work?"

　"Perhaps," Sylph said softly, neither confirming nor denying.

　Dark thought for a moment and said, "If you mean using mind-reading abilities to investigate, then I might be able to help."

　Professor Sylph was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You've even learned Cazell's mind-reading ability?"

　Dark smiled slightly and said, "I'm lucky. I recently created a magical spirit that can see through people's hearts. If you don't mind that the other one doesn't have intelligence, then we'll have two."

　“I see,” Professor Sylph nodded. “I will consider it if it is truly necessary.”

　Dark laughed, "We'll tell you when the time comes. How long will Senior Fern Morse's surgery take?"

　Professor Sylph pondered for a moment and said, "Half an hour, perhaps. To avoid any lasting effects, it might take longer."

　"Half an hour? Less than I expected. I'll just wait here then," Dark said.

　Professor Sylph asked curiously, "Do you have anything else to do?"

　Dark shook his head and said, "It's nothing urgent, let's focus on this matter."

　……

　Although Professor Sylph used magic to create soundproofing, the two still tried to keep their voices down when they spoke.

　About ten minutes later, a student suddenly came to the room for a consultation. Professor Sylph treated the student casually, which gave the student quite a fright.

　After a while, sounds finally came from the inner ward, and Professor Cazell came out first.

　Professor Sylph quickly stood up and asked, "How is it?"

　Professor Cazell confidently stated, "I've replaced the void left by the 'Cerebrolysin' with some absorbable substances, so there shouldn't be any adverse reactions for now. But what happens next depends on his brain's absorption capacity. If he can absorb those substances and heal himself, there won't be any aftereffects."

　Professor Sylph breathed a slight sigh of relief, then immediately asked, "And what about the 'Brain Fluid Demon'?"

　The worst did not happen. "Greedy Slime II" not only detected the presence of "Brain Fluid Demon" but also quickly identified its direction.

　But such a high speed also means that there is only one target within its perception range!

　In short, overthinking is useless.

　With the help of Professor Sylph's wind spirits, they traversed the castle at lightning speed. Even including the time spent stopping to determine their direction, they found their target in just two minutes.

　The other two were quite surprised by the person the target was.

　"Lily, what are you doing here?"

　Looking at Lily, who was sitting on the windowsill with her little feet up and humming a song, Professor Sylph's tone became more stern.

　Meanwhile, Dak's gaze was drawn to the "toy" in Lily's hand.

　It was a transparent liquid that looked like slime!

　If he's right, it should be a complete "brain fluid demon".

　Looking at this "brain fluid demon," three black lines immediately appeared on Dark's forehead.

　He certainly didn't believe that Lily was the mastermind behind planting the "brain fluid demon" in Fern Morse's brain, but there was no doubt that they had encountered an obstacle!

　But Professor Lily, oblivious to everything, turned her head and asked curiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

　Professor Sylph, seeing her excited expression, suddenly felt annoyed again: "Lily, did you go to the dueling arena this afternoon?"

　Professor Lily squeezed the "Brain Fluid Demon" in her hand a couple of times and said with a grin, "I originally wanted to go for a stroll, but I suddenly spotted a water elemental on the way, so I followed it around."

　How does this "brain fluid demon" resemble the water element?

　Professor Sylph's forehead twitched again.

　Although the "Brain Fluid Demon" looks like a water element... Ugh, ugh, ugh!

　The "Brain Fluid Demon" looks like a jellyfish, but it only has two tentacles, and its main body looks like a brain covered with a layer of water film.

　However, because it is transparent like water, the brain-like structure inside is not obvious, and there is no sense of disgust.

　The "brain fluid demon" in front of her, held in Professor Lily's hand, looked utterly dejected.

　Professor Sylph took a breath and asked, "Do you remember where you found it?"

　Without hesitation, Professor Lily replied, "Near the Knights' Tower. What happened? What happened to it?"

　"The Knights' Academy?" Professor Sylph finally spoke up. "That creature in your hand that looks like a water elemental is actually a 'Cerebrolysmic Demon.' I think you've heard of it even if you haven't seen it."

　"The 'Cerebral Fluid Demon'...is this it?" Professor Lily immediately held the "Cerebral Fluid Demon" high up, examining it closely against the sunlight. She showed no apprehension and her interest only grew stronger.

　“Alright, once this is over, you’ll have plenty of time to observe,” Professor Sylph said quickly. “I’ll briefly explain what happened, and then you’ll work with us.”

　Professor Lily immediately sat up straight, looking like an obedient listener to a story.

　Professor Sylph, however, clearly lacked the patience to explain in detail, summarizing the situation in just two minutes before immediately saying, "Let's go to the place where you found the 'Cerebrolysm' first, and then try asking Dark's slime."

　"Alright! I'll lead the way!" The uneventful academy life had long been stifling for the little fairy. Professor Lily instantly spread her dragonfly-like wings, grabbed the two tentacles of the "Brain Fluid Demon," and flew into the sky.

　“Let’s go too.” Professor Sylph grabbed Dark’s wrist, and a gentle breeze immediately blew in, enveloping “Greedy Slime II” as well.

　The three of them then flew to the top of the castle at an extremely fast speed and headed towards the tower of the Knights' Academy.

　Before long, the Knights' Academy tower was in sight.

　Professor Lily stopped abruptly, her height almost level with the top of the tower.

　Immediately following, a wisp of breeze swirled in the air, forming a virtual platform.

　After Professor Sylph stopped, she placed Dark and "Greedy Slime II" on the platform.

　Then she quickly said, "Let's try again!"

　Dark glanced at the "Brain Fluid Demon" in Lily's hand and said, "Use that."

　Professor Sylph nodded and said, "Lily, bring it here."

　“Okay.” Professor Lily immediately handed over the “Brain Fluid Demon” with great interest.

　Dak reached out and took it, and felt that it was cool to the touch and slightly sticky, which was slightly different from the moist feeling it had on the outside.

　He tried squeezing it hard, and the "brain fluid demon," which hadn't reacted at all no matter how much Professor Lily squeezed and rolled it, suddenly let out a "yelp" scream, and its two tentacles instantly rose up and fiercely stabbed into the blood vessels on his wrist.

　But the next second, the "brain fluid demon's" body emitted a faint white light and it could no longer move.

　"He's a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

　Dark shook his head slightly, then placed it in front of "Greedy Slime II" and said, "I'm counting on you for the rest."

　"Puyo!" "Greedy Slime II" stretched out its tentacles to hug it, then squinted its eyes to sense it carefully.

　But a moment later, it shook its head violently, its eyes filled with disappointment.

　Dark and Professor Sylph exchanged a glance, and both understood.

　Professor Sylph looked down at the Knights' Academy tower and said softly, "It seems Lily found one that slipped through the net. In any case, let's take this 'Cerebrolysmic Demon' back to Kazel first."

　……

　When they returned to the infirmary, Professor Cazell was drinking tea at the table.
