The Villain Young Master Just Wants to Live a Buddhist Life

[Race: Bird/Beast]

[Attribute: Normal]

[Magic: 100]

[Attack: 100]

[Defense: 100]

[Ultimate Move: Mimic]

Yes, this was a Magic Spirit card named "Magic Phantom Beast," but in reality, it was an Eevee!

"After DemiDevimon, now Eevee?"

"An ethereal, elusive, and formless phantom beast?"

"I'm actually gonna puke!"

"Was copying Digimon not enough? Now you're copying Pokemon too?"

"Wait, could this Eevee I created be the true form of the Magic Phantom Beast before it was observed?"

Dark felt his guess was likely correct.

Just like how the DemiDevimon in this world was merely an inferior demon that couldn't evolve.

The Eevee renamed as "Magic Phantom Beast" was likely also a secondary creation based on plagiarism!

However, he noticed something unusual on the data panel of this "Magic Phantom Beast."

→[Ultimate Move: Mimic]

→[Mimic: Mimics the move the opponent just used and executes the same move.]

The real Magic Phantom Beast did not have this ultimate move.

"Does this mean my Magic Phantom Beast, just like the DemiDevimon... has been molded into my shape?"

"Hmm..."

"Eevee (in the form of a Demon God)?"

Chapter 25: Eevee-chan gives you a look of disgust

In general, as the initial Magic Spirit cards for young magi, "Magic Phantom Beasts" would change into corresponding races and attributes based on the expectations of the young magi.

But no matter how it changed, it could not alter the fact that it remained a one-star card, and its three stats—Magic, Attack, and Defense—were all 100, making it extremely weak.

Its commemorative value far outweighed its practical use.

When magi from Saint Marian Academy grew stronger, they usually treasured their "Magic Phantom Beast" as a keepsake, but they basically never used it in battle again.

However, Dark saw potential in his own "Magic Phantom Beast"!

As the saying goes: "Differences in cognition determine differences in magic!"

Perhaps this "Magic Phantom Beast: Eevee" truly possessed the characteristics of a Pokemon and, just like a real Pokemon, held the possibility of evolution?

While lost in thought, Dark observed the classroom.

Except for him and Diana and Rose, who were moving as slowly as snails, every other student's first attempt at crafting had ended in failure.

The difficulty of crafting a "Magic Phantom Beast" lay in the sheer number of steps; a mistake in any single step would lead to total failure.

Therefore, it required extreme care and steadiness.

This was the message Professor Kazel wanted to convey to them.

In the end, when the bell rang for the end of class, no one else had completed their creation.

Rose failed, much to her regret.

Meanwhile, Diana was still slowly plugging away.

Professor Kazel said humorously, "Fortunately, you may continue crafting in the classroom until your second attempt also fails. By the way, your homework until the next class is to complete the crafting of a 'Magic Phantom Beast.' You can come to me to purchase new materials; it's 100 credits per pack—just one serving!"

After saying this, he packed up his teaching materials and walked away humming a little tune, leaving the students with a large view of his back.

It was infuriating!

Dark didn't leave immediately; he mainly wanted to see what the others' Magic Phantom Beasts would turn out to be.

As it turned out, the second person to complete the crafting was indeed Emma Metis.

In any case, Emma, who was only a step behind him, finally succeeded five minutes after the bell rang!

She couldn't help but curl her lips upward and glance over in his direction.

Unlike Dark, who was composed, she immediately cast the Normal Summoning Technique the moment she finished her creation, summoning the very first Magic Spirit of her life!

--It was still an otter!

She seemed to have a special fondness for otters; this one's incisors were even larger than those of her familiar.

As for the third person to finish, it was none other than the little dummy Diana!

"Yes! Yes!"

After a long bout of excitement, Diana also summoned her own Magic Phantom Beast.

--It wasn't a goofy giant panda, but a polar bear with snow-white fur!

It seemed that while she didn't appear to care much on the surface, deep down she hoped to be like the members of the Greatbear family—tall, sturdy, and as fierce as a polar bear!

Dark looked over at Victor and Robert on the other side.

Robert had completely ruined his second set of materials before the class even ended.

Victor, however, was doing a decent job and had already reached the final step of drawing the No. 1 Transmutation Circle.

Although he hadn't practiced much, both of his hands were exceptionally steady.

If he had a sword in his hand, it surely wouldn't tremble in the slightest.

Perhaps this was the talent of a hero!

Around the twelfth minute after class ended, Victor became the fourth person across both academies to complete his creation!

Robert seemed even more excited than him, his face and neck flushed a deep red.

And Victor, immediately after finishing, summoned his own Magic Phantom Beast!

It was a glowing white stag!

So that's where the Patronus was hiding!

Dark realized.

This stag was clearly of the avian/beast type and light-attributed, the exact opposite of Victor's familiar.

Come to think of it, despite being the son of a hero, Victor's familiar was, like Dark's, a demon type with a dark attribute!

Perhaps because he felt repulsed by the demon type, Victor didn't summon his familiar often. However, Dark had seen it by chance; it seemed to be a Minotaur, only knee-high and quite cute.

As for Robert's familiar, it was a machine type, steel-attributed robot.

The robot had a round head and body, with multi-functional arms that could transform into various tools, and its lower half consisted of tank treads; it looked very useful.

Dark actually quite envied Robert's robot familiar; its intelligence level of 2.5 was already enough to serve as a laboratory assistant!

Following Victor's success, little Rose failed once again.

She looked dejected, but not overly so; Diana gave her second set of materials to her, and the two began preparing for their third attempt together.

In any case, the first class of the afternoon didn't start until 1:30, so there was still plenty of time.

12:10 PM.

After finishing lunch, Dark returned to his bedroom.

Only then did he summon his Magic Phantom Beast.

Magic Phantom Beast: Eevee (in the form of a Demon God)!

This Eevee looked less like an animation and more realistic.

Its appearance was more fox-like; its round, chubby face had become a vixen-like oval, its mane had become more elegant, and its ears had more of a "phantom beast" feel to them.

"Bui?"

It tilted its head slightly while letting out a cry.

The girlishness of it was almost too much to look at!

But that was as far as a Magic Spirit with an intelligence level of 2.0 could go.

Dark had not yet mastered the Mind Summoning Technique.

After attempting to command Eevee to perform basic actions like "dodge," "dash," "lie down and expose belly," "sit and spread legs," and "fade-away jump shot," Dark took the precious Pride 1 card out of his card pack.

"Is it exactly as I thought? I'll know once I try! Magic Guidance Summon!"

Pride 1 activated!

A ball of dark golden light, trailing a long tail, shot out and slammed directly into Eevee's forehead!

"Bui!"

Eevee instinctively raised a paw to cover its forehead, and when it lowered it, its eyes had turned cold.

There is nothing to say.

It is just the vibe of a cold and aloof goddess!

Dark tried to give her a "pet," but ended up being dodged with a look of utter disgust!

For such behavior to appear in a Magic Spirit is extremely inconceivable!

Magic Spirits with an intelligence level of only 2.0 usually obey the commands of their magus completely, even if those commands are wrong or order them to their deaths!

It is impossible for them to dodge their master's touch!

"I see. So, for different individuals, the manifestation of Pride is also different?"

Thinking of the way DemiDevimon displayed Pride as if its brain were broken, Dark wrote down the corresponding notes in his notebook.

"Eevee, Shadow Ball!"

Eevee-chan glanced at him sideways, her face full of disgust.

"Eevee, Tail Whip!"

Eevee-chan glanced at him sideways, her face full of disgust.

"Eevee, Charm!"

Eevee-chan glanced at him sideways, her face full of disgust.

"Has the essence of the Magic Spirit card not changed yet? It still only has one fixed ultimate move, 'Mimic,' which consumes 100 magic points."

Dark reached out and scratched Eevee's chin; although she tried her best to lean back, she took no further action.

"But judging from the way she acts, the life form has indeed changed slightly. At the very least, her intelligence level has increased; she can be considered to have gained sentience!"
