The students had nothing to say.
Professor Jones: "Today is mainly for sparring and demonstrations. I will be holding a small in-class tournament this Friday, and the champion will be rewarded with 1000 credits!"
"1000 credits? How many Wonder Candies could that buy?" Someone started drooling.
The young magisters, who had just spent money on Traveler Street and were far from satisfied, immediately began to discuss it excitedly.
Victor and Robert were also quite stirred up: "If we had these 1000 credits, wouldn't paying off any debt be a breeze?"
Even Emma was tempted: "That antique bookstore run by a goblin seems to be stocking a batch of very expensive ancient magitech books..."
Of course, there were also those looking for shortcuts: "Horn Magitech Shop sells semi-finished Magitech Cards. Even for a beginner, they are easy to complete, and the price is 998!"
Dark looked indifferent, thinking that his credits were indeed not quite enough...
Seeing that the 1000-credit reward had indeed stirred the students into a frenzy, Professor Jones couldn't help but smile.
The rest of the class mainly involved selecting students from the sixteen who had successfully created a "Magic Phantom Beast" to give demonstrations.
Victor, motivated by the credits, participated actively and was successfully called upon by Professor Jones, earning five points.
With five points each for the duo, plus the base points for the class, they now had thirty points!
And since they had already earned forty-five points yesterday, they now had a total of seventy-five points!
"Seventy-five points! Victor!"
Robert said excitedly: "Next, as long as we get five points in Arithmetic Class, we can pay off our debt! Let that Otter lady go to hell!"
Victor was also exceptionally excited: "It's just five points, surely we can manage that, right?"
After class.
Students from all four houses simultaneously received a notification.
Today's Arithmetic Class will be held in the large classroom, with Professor Lily's little darling--Dark Demon--substituting as the instructor.
Chapter 29 Dark Demon's Arithmetic Classroom
When he received this notification, Dark was completely bewildered.
He read it over and over again, and only then did he confirm that his name was indeed written on the notice!
What on earth is Professor Lily playing at?
There was a 30-minute break between the end of Dueling Class and the start of Arithmetic Class.
Dark hurried to Professor Lily's office to verify the situation.
The office door was unlocked, and it was very quiet inside.
After knocking a few times, Dark pushed the door open a crack.
Suddenly, a pungent stench of alcohol surged out from the gap as if it had finally found an outlet, nearly choking him to death!
"Ugh."
Dark covered his nose, summoned his courage, and risked his life to push the office door open!
He saw a stinking little fairy lying on the desk that was usually used for books, assignments, and pencil cases!
Professor Lily's dragonfly wings were crumpled and folded together, and a mountain of empty bottles was piled up around the desk.
It was simply unbelievable!
The dignified head of the Magister House at St. Marian was actually on the verge of drinking herself to death in her office!
Is this a collapse of morality, or a lack of human nature? Welcome to watch the midnight slot of Ciweimao--<The Villain Young Master Just Wants to Live a Buddhist Life>!
"Dark?"
Professor Lily struggled to open her eyelids. Seeing it was Dark, she couldn't help but raise her arm: "P-please, I'm counting on you!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Professor Lily closed her eyes again and began to snore like a dead pig.
Dark: "..."
So, what exactly happened here?
He quickly closed the door to prevent the disheveled state of the Magister House head from being exposed.
The office didn't look very messy; there were no signs of a struggle, it wasn't a locked-room murder... uh, anyway, that's how it was.
Dark confirmed that Professor Lily had simply passed out, so he lifted her from the desk and laid her down on the sofa nearby.
It was fortunate that Professor Lily was just a delicate little fairy, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to move her at all.
"Clatter."
Something slipped from Professor Lily's other hand.
Dark bent down to pick it up; it was a beautiful Flower Card adorned with blue flowers.
"Blue Enchantress, is it?"
Pure love and honest kindness, the Blue Enchantress who keeps her promises.
Reaching out to touch it, the flowers on the card face shifted aside, revealing the person hidden behind the blossoms: a human boy with a round face and a sweet smile, looking just like an angel.
"Who is this?"
Dark frowned, but feeling it improper to pry into someone else's privacy, he placed the Love Divination Card back into the hands of Professor Lily.
Then, he took off his coat and draped it over the professor.
He turned and left the office, ready to start class!
It was just a substitute teaching gig, after all.
The first-year Arithmetic Class was outrageously simple.
Although Dark hadn't had time to prepare, there was, as expected, no need for preparation anyway.
The biggest problem was having to face students from all four houses at once.
Because Professor Jones and Professor Lily had swapped schedules, both morning sessions were joint classes for all four houses.
The Noble House and Knight Academy were fine.
But the students from the Magister House and the Fool House.
He truly didn't recognize them all.
Fortunately, it was only for one class.
Just try to muddle through it.
Today, I'll teach them what exponential explosion is!
The bell rang.
Dark entered the classroom just before he could be considered late.
Because it was a large lecture hall, the students from the four houses had self-consciously seated themselves in four columns.
When Dark walked into the classroom, there was an eerie silence.
Perhaps it was because no one had ever expected that one day, a fellow student would be standing on the podium to teach them.
Dark felt the gaze of all his peers, but he felt no discomfort.
As the son of the kingdom's only duchess, and the son of the Valkyrie, one of the Kingdom's Twin Swords, where had he ever gone without being the center of attention?
Excessive praise, excessive flattery, and excessive doting had eventually cultivated that atrocious personality of his.
But fortunately, it was not too late to mend the fold.
Dark stepped onto the podium.
And immediately, he experienced the exclusive perspective of Professor Kazel =_=!
So, is it always this difficult for Professor Kazel?
There were three professors in the academy who were under 1.5 meters tall.
But Professor Lily and Professor Didi were both little fairies with wings, always flying in the air without their feet touching the ground.
Only Professor Kazel had it particularly hard!
Dark was 12 years old this year and over 1.5 meters tall; he didn't look short when standing with his peers.
But once he stood on the podium, something was clearly lacking.
He looked down and saw that there was actually a footstool hidden under the desk!
Teacher Dimon, who had suddenly grown taller, first introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am Dark Dimon. I believe those who don't know me are in the minority. In any case, I am substituting for today's class. If you have anything you want to know, you can ask first."
A class lasted 90 minutes. Dark planned to spend a few minutes answering questions, then a dozen minutes going over the homework left from the last lesson, and then transition into the lecture to cover some material not yet taught in the first year.
Perhaps because his smile was pleasant enough, the atmosphere in the classroom eased up quite a bit.
Emma Metis from the Knight Academy raised her hand, and Dark nodded at her.
Emma immediately asked: "May I ask where Professor Lily has gone? What is the reason she is unable to come to class?"
This question was clearly something all the students wanted to know, and the classroom stirred slightly because of it.
Dark couldn't help but smile: "Professor Lily stayed up all night researching Laplace's Demon and only fell asleep a short while ago because she was too exhausted."
Emma asked skeptically: "What is Laplace's Demon?"
Dark: "A type of divine beast."
Emma sat back down, half-doubting.
Another freshman from the Magister House immediately raised their hand.
Dark then said: "That student from the Magister House, what other questions do you have?"
The freshman, however, spoke with sharp words: "May I ask why student Dark Demon is allowed to stand on the podium?"
If it were me from a month ago, you would already be dead by now.
Dark replied: "Because I have graded your assignments."
The person's expression froze instantly, and he sat back down in embarrassment.
Following that, quite a few students still raised their hands to ask questions.
Most students from the Magister House were unconvinced, the students from the Knight Academy were simply unhappy, the students from the Fool House felt indifferent, and the students from the Noble House were naturally proud and arrogant.
Dark only needed to sweep his gaze across the room to notice quite a few petty actions taking place below.
The students from the Noble House were taking this opportunity to mock the Knight Academy.
Dark was just wondering whether he should give them a warning when he suddenly saw Robert raise his hand.
"Robert Broheim."
Robert stood up and asked the question he cared about most: "May I ask, do the credits for this class still count?"
This was clearly the issue Robert was most concerned about at the moment.
If the credits for this class didn't count, then his and Victor's debt would be completely ruined.
Why did it have to be this class that had a problem!
Robert roared internally, his emotions somewhat agitated.
But this was Dark's first time substitute teaching, so how would he know whether the credits counted or not?
