YM778.TV Chapter 5: 5 Dark Demon Attempts to Become a Straight-A student
Principal Arte did not say some hints to lead the plot like Principal Dumbledore in "Harry Potter" did.
This made Dark a little confused.
But he thought about it carefully. Even if something bad happened, the protagonist would handle it for everyone. It would have nothing to do with him as a villain.
I should take care of myself!
Saint Marian Academy was a closed school, except for annual holidays, no one would be allowed to leave the school.
Once the school gates were closed, money, power, and connections would all be cut off.
Knowledge, ability and credits were the biggest factors in determining the order.
Even as the son of Duke, once he became a student with a poor grade he would be cast aside.
Moreover, those who could enter Saint Marian Academy were future magisters who were not afraid of the authority of the nobility.
Dark knew that his reputation was not good. The students of Noble House wanted to get close to him because he was a pure-blooded nobleman.
But this was in line with his idea to reduce social interaction. He could cultivate himself, while living a buddist life. He needed to study knowledge and find a way to completely remove the demon god bloodline before it was fully awakened!
Apart from Holy Mystery Academy, Saint Marian Academy was the place with the deepest heritage and most books in the kingdom. If there was no way to remove the blood of the demon god, then it was basically game over.
...
Following the seniors out of the main hall, climbing the marble stairs, crossing the winding corridor full of portraits, and crossing a high overhang bridge, the freshmen of Noble House finally arrived at the tower located on the southwest side of the college. It was the dormitory building of Noble House!
Saint Marian Academy had four such towers, each of which had nine floors except the basement.
The first floor was the common room.
Starting from the second floor and going up, there were dormitories for the students of the first year to the sixth year in order.
The eighth floor above was the duel practice room, and the ninth floor was the observatory!
The guardian golem of Noble House was like a legendary creature named "Feathered Serpent"!
The Feathered Serpent had colorful wings, they were wise, gentle, and elegant.
They couldn\'t lie, they could see through falsehood and see the truth, they were "truth presenters"!
The reason why Noble House\'s dormitory was the only tower among the four Houses that could be directly entered without the "keys" such as credentials and passwords was because of the existence of the Feathered Serpent golem.
As long as one passed in front of this golem, it would know if one was a student of Noble House.
Dark watched Dianna rush into the tower hurriedly, and followed.
When he passed in front of the Feathered Serpent, the golem entrenched in front of the door suddenly opened its pupils, the pupils were bright and energetic, not like a dead golem at all!
Dark was silent.
But the white light shining from the Feathered Serpent\'s eyes only swept over his body once, and then converged back.
Then the feather snake closed his eyes again, and there was no sound.
Dark hurriedly speeded up and entered the tower, only to heave a sigh of relief.
"...Almost thought that the blood of the demon god was discovered!"
Originally, when Dark saw that the awakening of the demon god bloodline had something like a progress bar, he thought there was room for fault tolerance.
But now, even if he was only awakened by 1%, he would not be able to escape the true eyes of this Feathered Serpent golem!
"Is this the legendary difficulty?"
...
"Dark, where\'s your room number?"
Dianna grabbed the Sorting card and ran over again.
Dark glanced at the door with lingering fear, and injected magic energy into the Sorting card.
The "crown" pattern on the front of the Sorting card faded away, showing what he wanted to know.
"No. 201."
"Huh? Dianna is number 233, so far away!"
"Aren\'t they all in the same building?"
After a few casual words, Dark walked quickly to the second floor and found the room at the forefront of the second floor.
He didn\'t gradually relax until he entered the room and locked the door behind him, and then he couldn\'t help but smile.
"Even with two lifetimes combined, I have never been so stressful."
The dormitory was a single dormitory. It not only had a soft big bed, but also a separate bathroom.
There were brand-new daily necessities and a set of first-year textbooks on the bed.
Dark finally made the bed, and he was exhausted.
"I should think about it tomorrow."
...
The next morning.
Dark opened his eyes tiredly, and there was a copper wall clock on the wall opposite the head of the bed. The hour hand had just pointed to six o\'clock.
"Six o\'clock? It seems that class only starts at eight o\'clock... I can sleep a little longer."
【Sloth+1】
The cruel system prompt drifted past my eyes suddenly.
Dark was taken aback, and his sleepiness was gone!
"Faaaaaa... bulous..."
The [Wrath] index didn\'t increase by one, Dark wiped his sweat.
Now the smallest fault tolerance space was [Pride] and [Wrath], while [Envy] and [Gluttony] were relatively loose.
A quarter of an hour later.
Dark changed into his school uniform and went to the common room on the first floor.
Noble House\'s school uniform was black with gold rims and a small crown on the chest. The school also gave every student a card pouch of the same style that could hold 21 magic cards.
The common room was very quiet, and the magic light hung on the wall would automatically light up when someone arrived.
Having lost all his sleepiness again, Dark found a place to sit down with a gloomy look, and then took out the textbooks from his shoulder bag one by one.
In order to remove the blood of demon god, in addition to finding the right method, the necessary knowledge and ability were also very important.
Imagine how desperate it would be if a magical book that recorded the correct method was placed in front of him but he could not understand it at all?
"The opposite of [Sloth] is [Diligence]."
Dark picked out the textbook needed for today\'s first lesson-"Basic Summoning Guide" from a large number of textbooks!
[Summoning] As the awakening method of the magic card, it was the basic spell that every magister must master!
The summoning class was set in the first class on Monday to teach the freshmen how to summon the familiar spirits from the sorting card!
Under the slightly dim light, Dark Demon opened the textbook and began to preview in the common room without a second person.
...
After a few minutes, Dark gradually entered the state.
In his previous life, he was also an undergraduate student, with more than necessary comprehension skills.
Among the little magisters of the same age, no one should have a stronger comprehension skills than his.
"Maybe it\'s not bad to be a straight-A student?"
【Pride+1】
"..."
Dark suddenly realized that he had improved, and he didn\'t even curse.
...
If one could get into the state of learning, it actually felt very good.
Because one could truly feel that they were making progress.
Mankind\'s desire for knowledge was innate. Only by continuously acquiring knowledge, exploring the unknown, and solving the mystery could mankind open up one great era after another.
After studying hard for an hour.
[Greed+1]
"Fuck!"
[Wrath+1]
