Chapter 34: Dark Demon Doesn't Understand the Darkness of Night
Dark wasn't foolish enough to stay up all night waiting for [Arrogance II]'s cooldown to end.
He woke up in the early morning, the hazy light filtering through the patterned curtains, casting dappled shadows.
Dark immediately unleashed an [Arrogance II] on the blinking Little Devil Beast.
"Ah-hahahaha ଘ(￣ˇ￣)/!"
Soaring into the air, the Little Devil Beast looked down at its master condescendingly, sticking to the ceiling and emitting arrogant laughter without restraint.
Dark didn't pay attention to such trivial matters: "Little Devil Beast, use the other skill on the wall."
Familiars cannot resist the formal commands of a Magister.
In this regard, Magic Spirits, lacking similar limiters, actually have more autonomy.
Of course, under normal circumstances, a Magic Spirit with an intelligence level of 2.0 would never even conceive of disobeying its master's orders.
Therefore, despite being reluctant, the Little Devil Beast still used its other skill on the wall – it suddenly widened its eyes, and two spiral light waves burst forth from its dark golden pupils!
If the wall hadn't remained completely unscathed, Dark might have actually believed it had learned some kind of "Magic Piercing Light Killing Cannon (Eye)" skill.
However, he quickly realized that this was most likely a skill specifically for biological targets.
So Dark immediately summoned [Magical Beast: Eevee].
Although Magic Spirits are not biological in the traditional sense, they are considered pseudo-life forms.
Sure enough, the spiral light waves shot from the Little Devil Beast's eyes finally had an effect. Eevee-chan's eyes gradually became hazy, and she eventually fell asleep!

...
After completing this small experiment, Dark began to formulate his next goals.
"There are still five points of [Arrogance] quota left for this month… it feels a bit insufficient?"
"The three-day shelf life of the Thought Bottle is also too short, maybe I should spend some academic points to buy a higher-grade one."
"Also, I'm a bit tempted to try making magic cards from other Great Sin series."
"Hmm~ let me see, the closest to the 100-point mark are Wrath and Bliss…"
"Wait, why am I having these thoughts?"
"Dark Demon, danger!"
Dark quickly abandoned this dangerous idea. His primary goal at the moment was still to reduce the value of [Arrogance] before continuing with other experiments.
After a month of training, his self-control was getting stronger and stronger. Apart from [Bliss] being a little difficult to control and [Wrath] having hidden dangers, only [Greed] was slightly risky.
As long as he could bring down the most difficult-to-control [Arrogance], there wouldn't be any problems in the short term.
Once his self-control became even stronger, he could try to keep a specific Great Sin fluctuating around 100 points…
"Hiss! Dark Demon, that idea is very dangerous!"
...
As the sky over Saint Marian was shrouded in dark clouds.
First-year students welcomed their second Potions class of the week.
Dark still arrived at the classroom early to wait, but to his surprise, there were two people in the classroom whom he would normally never see.
Virt and Robert had actually, and unusually, arrived at class early today!
"What's wrong with them? Did their heads get folder ed by familiars?"
Although he had noticed that these two were acting a bit strangely in the past two days, Dark hadn't thought too deeply about it.
But this morning's situation was particularly obvious!
Although Virt wasn't as flamboyant as some people, he was actually quite image-conscious on a normal day.
Dark had never seen him with such a bird's nest for hair as he had today!
And what was up with those swollen eyes?
Had he been bullied?
Could it be that besides me, Dark Demon, someone else dared to bully the children of heroes?
OMG!
And what was that thing tied around Robert's forehead?
"Victory?"
Were you trying to make your debut as center?
Dark was speechless.
...
As class time approached, more and more people filled the classroom.
Someone couldn't help but ask.
Virt gnawed on his pen, his face gradually contorting.
Robert had long since lost his soul, his spirit and body separated, and he vaguely responded, "It's nothing, this is just the price of learning!"
...
So, learning required paying such a high price?
Had they been cramming all night?
Sleeping at ten, waking at six, taking a half-hour nap at noon, that's how you maintain energy and improve efficiency throughout the day.
Burning the midnight oil is not advisable!
Dark really wanted to impart his wisdom to them.
But it seemed impossible.
"Ding-ling-ling~"
The eight o'clock bell rang on time.
Professor Thompson entered the classroom precisely on the hour.
"Today is a theory class."
Just one sentence completely dampened the students' enthusiasm.
Although practical classes were more difficult, compared to the dry and boring theory classes, first-year students obviously preferred the practical classes where they could brew potions themselves.
However, Virt and Robert's eyes lit up with a red glow!
"Isn't this lucky, Robert?"
"Yes, Virt. It seems our efforts have been blessed by the Goddess of Luck."
"I will definitely score five more points than you in today's Potions class!"
"Hahaha, you're quite bold, Virt."
...
Five minutes into class.
Professor Thompson finally posed the first question: "How should purification be carried out during the process of preparing Sprite Honey Juice? I remember we talked about this question last week, does anyone remember?"
Virt eagerly raised his hand!
But before Professor Thompson noticed, he quickly lowered it again.
This up and down movement was truly nerve-wracking, like an elevator losing control and plummeting to the bottom floor.
Virt wiped away sweat, and his whole body became alert.
Robert asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Virt."
Virt looked embarrassed: "Hahaha, how could I possibly know what was taught last week? What about you, Robert?"
Robert looked blank: "If you don't know, how could I possibly know."
...
Thirty-six minutes into class.
Virt fiercely pinched Robert's thigh.
"Ouch~"
Robert jumped up like a grasshopper, but quickly covered his mouth.
Professor Thompson, who was writing on the blackboard with his back to them, didn't notice.
Just now, Robert had dozed off for the third time.
Falling asleep in Professor Thompson's class was no joke.
Professor Didi, who taught Magical History, would at most deduct ten points – deducting all the basic points for one class.
Professor Thompson, however, would deduct points into the negatives!
Robert was covered in sweat, feeling his eyes swell even more, his eyelids as heavy as iron.
...
Sixty-three minutes into class.
Professor Thompson finally got to the point they had previewed last night – how to use magic power to assist in potion modulation.
Virt was particularly confident in his own magic power.
When Professor Thompson poured a "rainbow liquid" mixed with various colors into a 5L beaker, and then drew out a mercury glass rod with mercury irrigation ed in the center, he prepared to call on a student from below to demonstrate, using magic power to mix the rainbow liquid into seven distinct layers of color.
Virt, whose eyes were already swollen like toads, immediately raised his hand!
"Hmm? Virt Gold, you come up then."
