The Villain Young Master Just Wants to Live a Buddhist Life

To summon it again next time, one must first replenish its magic.

If magic is replenished repeatedly within a short period, the durability of the Magic Spirit Card will drop rapidly.

This is the same principle as a battery losing capacity after being used many times.

However, there are ways to repair Magic Spirit Cards.

Using a portion of the materials used to craft the Magic Spirit Card allows one to repair it.

Therefore, Magicians often keep a reserve of materials for their primary Magic Spirit Cards.

"Petit Dart!"

DemiDevimon flapped its wings, firing a syringe with a shark-head tip!

Eevee dodged nimbly, then used its signature move Mimic. A syringe of a slightly different color quickly took shape and was fired back at DemiDevimon!

DemiDevimon shrieked and flew high to dodge, while Eevee dissipated quickly after unleashing Mimic.

Dark watched the small Eevee gradually coalescing on the face of the "Magic Phantom Beast: Eevee" card and began to attempt a magic replenishment.

According to the description in the textbook.

Replenishing magic is not difficult; one only needs to pay attention to the speed and amount of magic input. When the Magic Spirit Card begins to glow, it indicates that the magic has been fully replenished and is overflowing.

Dark gathered magic at his fingertip, traced a small hexagram replenishment circle on the card face, and then tapped the center of the circle—the position of Eevee's little belly—before injecting magic.

"Bui-ii—"

The Eevee on the card suddenly began to squirm bashfully, giving Dark a start.

He then immediately realized that he might be able to enter the realm of a "Mind Magician" through another path!

Two minutes later.

Dark learned how to move the replenishment circle while replenishing magic.

The replenishment circle moved along with his finger, and the magic injection remained uninterrupted.

Dark used his finger to rub little Eevee's belly, listening to the "bui-bui" gasps, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned perverted.

Tuesday.

The Duel class for this week finally entered a new phase.

At seven o'clock in the morning, a notification suddenly appeared on the Sorting Card of every first-year student across the four houses.

Dark pulled the vibrating Sorting Card from his card case and discovered it was a notification about a change in classroom.

"I see, is today's Duel class in the Duel Hall?"

St. Marian has three Duel Halls: two indoors and one outdoors.

The indoor Duel Halls are usually for teaching purposes, divided into A and B.

The outdoor open-air Duel Hall is used for dueling competitions, and it is also one of the few places besides Traveler Street that allows outsiders to enter.

Every week, from Friday afternoon until Sunday night, countless spectators travel from all over the kingdom to watch the dueling competitions, and a large number of fan clubs have been organized for this!

Of course, the infiltration of the betting industry is also inevitable.

It is often rumored outside that St. Marian itself is the biggest bookie...

The first-years' Duel class today is in Duel Hall B.

Dark walked into the hall a little late, and by then, quite a few students were already watching with curiosity.

During extracurricular hours, both the indoor and outdoor Duel Halls are generally occupied by upperclassmen, so this was the first time the freshmen could observe the venue facilities so freely.

The first impression the Duel Hall gives is that it is tall!

So tall that the ceiling seems to be in the clouds.

The second impression is that it is large.

It is said that the dueling arenas inside the halls are built based on "Field Card" templates and can change into different types of terrain as needed.

As eight o'clock approached, more and more students flooded into the hall.

Noble House, Knight Academy, Magister House, Fool House.

The freshmen from the four houses arrived one after another.

This was their first time attending the same class.

Freshmen from the Noble House mostly attend classes with those from the Knight Academy.

Freshmen from the Magister House mostly attend classes with those from the Fool House.

Therefore, the people on both sides were not very familiar with each other.

By the time Professor Jones arrived, the four houses had divided themselves into two distinct sides within the arena, with the two houses on each side keeping a wide distance from one another.

"Since everyone seems so energetic, let's start with two laps around the arena."

Professor Jones was dressed like a gym teacher, wearing only a small vest on his upper body. The hem below his chest was tied into a bow, tightly binding his torso and revealing rock-hard abdominal muscles!

It was clearly the first time the little magisters had experienced a so-called "lap run," and the arena was filled with groans and complaints.

The first to start running was Robert, his eyes sharp and focused!

Robert glanced at Victor, then suddenly bolted out from the crowd.

It was extremely abrupt, but more importantly, it was eye-catching.

"Very good, five points to Broheim!"

Robert couldn't help but beam with wild joy, his strides becoming even more powerful!

Although the arena was large, Robert had undergone formal military training before enrollment, so his stamina was excellent; he didn't feel tired even after running two laps.

Victor, however, was exhausted to the point of collapse.

On the other side.

Dark had finished the entire run at a steady, unhurried pace. Looking up, he saw Victor, Emma, and Rose, along with a large group of Magister House students, who had only just begun their second lap.

Chapter 28: Victor and Robert Combine for Seventy-Five Points

Come to think of it.

Among the elite aristocratic preschool education Dark had received, there were actually projects like horseback riding and archery.

As the son of a Valkyrie, he had also received sword training, though he had given it up halfway through.

Most of the freshmen in Noble House were the same; even if they slacked off during training, their physical fitness remained around the standard baseline.

However, many students in Magister House could spend an entire day reading books without moving, and their physical fitness was significantly inferior to that of Noble House.

Not to mention compared to Knight Academy!

Fool House was basically at an average, middle-of-the-road level.

In this way, it became obvious who would fall behind and who wouldn't be able to finish the run.

Emma, a standard bookworm who for some reason had been assigned to Knight Academy, had no advantage in stamina compared to the homebody Rose; she started panting heavily after half a lap, and her face was pale by the end of the first.

Rose was no different.

Victor was relatively better; a month of cafeteria meals had allowed his body to absorb plenty of nutrients, and his health was gradually recovering.

Although he felt like his bones were falling apart after the run, Victor had managed to pull through!

After catching his breath with Robert's support, both of them turned to look at Emma.

Victor's eyes held mixed emotions.

Robert, on the other hand, was purely gloating!

If he weren't worried about losing house points, he might have already started mocking her and kicking her while she was down!

"Five points deducted from Metis, five points from Floty, five points from Swati..."

Professor Jones showed no mercy in penalizing the freshmen who couldn't complete the full distance!

"It seems that none of you followed the morning run advice I gave you last week."

"I've seen plenty of you Magister House students! You think that having a tiny bit more brainpower will give you an advantage in a magister duel. Little do you know that magister duels also require physical stamina from the magister themselves. Throughout history, countless duelists have fainted on the platform due to exhaustion! Perhaps you all want to make the newspaper headlines for that reason?"

This was the first time Professor Jones had shown his stern side, and Emma, Rose, and the others became the miserable backdrop.

"Five minutes to rest!"

Seeing Professor Jones's expression soften, the cute little Diana immediately slipped over to Rose's side. Ignoring her struggles, she scooped her up in a princess carry and insisted on bringing her to a bench on the side of the arena to rest.

The other students also had friends to some extent.

In the end, only little Emma was left all alone, drenched in sweat and sitting on the ground with a pale face.

Victor couldn't bear it and said, "Robert, should we go help her?"

Robert just scoffed, "Help her? Why? Victor, we aren't friends with her!"

Victor: "That's true."

This was a turning point.

Five minutes later.

The students gathered again.

They stood in four blocks, organized by their respective houses.

Professor Jones finally began today's topic: "We have covered the basic theory of dueling well enough. Today's lesson will focus primarily on a practical simulation of Magic Spirit Card dueling. First-year students are generally not qualified to join the Duel Club or participate in the dueling tournaments held by the academy. However, we have our own competition mode, which is the Elite Mode created by Mind Mage Red. Can anyone tell me what Elite Mode is?"

In the Knight Academy ranks, Robert immediately jolted and whispered, "Victor, the chance to earn points is here!"

Victor, however, looked ashen: "But I don't know."

Emma raised her hand tremblingly.

Dark, meanwhile, had already moved past such low-level interests.

Professor Jones's gaze swept past Emma's face, but he chose a girl from Magister House instead: "Swati, you go."

"Yes, Professor."

The girl named Sara Swati had healthy, wheat-colored skin, a high bridge of her nose, and slightly full lips.

She was also eager to earn back the house points that had just been deducted, so she said immediately: "The so-called Elite Mode is a dueling mode where Magic Spirit Cards are the absolute core. Duelists are only allowed to use Magic Spirit Cards and a portion of Support Magic Cards, while the vast majority of other magic cards are prohibited. In each turn of the battle, a duelist can only summon one Magic Spirit. Depending on the pre-match rules, it can be 1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3, or 6vs6."

"That will do, five points to Swati."

Sara wanted to continue her long-winded explanation, but Professor Jones interrupted her: "Elite Mode primarily tests the quality of your Magic Spirit Cards. Even with just a single Magic Spirit Card, one can still duel. This is a dueling mode quite suitable for us in the first year. Now, those who have successfully crafted a Magic Spirit Card, step forward."

And so, one after another, people began to walk out from the ranks.

Noble House had Dark, Diana, and three others.

Knight Academy had Emma, Victor, and two others.

Magister House had Sara and six others.

Fool House had only one person.

A total of seventeen people stepped out; except for Diana and Victor, they were all the current top students of the first year.

"Only seventeen?"

A look of obvious astonishment appeared on Professor Jones's face: "You are the worst class I have ever taught!"
