The Villain Young Master Just Wants to Live a Buddhist Life

The Rainbow Liquid filled half the beaker, its seven colors muddled together like someone had dumped every pigment in at once, creating a mixture that was physically repulsive—let alone trying to separate them!

But Victor happened to have read the relevant knowledge while previewing the material, and he felt he could do it!

Professor Thompson glanced at his slightly haggard expression and asked with concern, "Gaude, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Professor."

Victor took a deep breath and began to channel his magic into the mercury glass rod.

Rainbow Liquid was a special substance; each color had a different affinity for different concentrations of magic.

Therefore, one only needed to divide the magic into seven levels of concentration within the mercury glass rod, then slowly adjust and stir at a constant speed, allowing the different colors of the Rainbow Liquid to adhere to the corresponding magic concentrations, which would separate the seven colors into seven distinct layers!

Of course, theory was theory, and practice was practice.

Although Victor was quite confident in his magical talent, his current state was not good.

To prevent any mistakes, he slowed his pace as much as possible.

When Victor began to stir, Dark looked up.

The sudden burst of effort from the Son of the Hero actually surprised him; he just wondered to what extent he could succeed.

Victor, standing at the podium, had already successfully divided his magic into seven concentration levels, but the next part was the real challenge.

Maintaining a continuous output of magic while keeping the concentration stable, all while stirring the mercury glass rod at a constant speed, was extremely difficult!

Among the first-year students, only Dark could do it with ease.

Next would be the diligent Emma, and Sara Swati from the Magister House.

Professor Thompson had originally intended to call Dark up to demonstrate, but he hadn't expected Victor to raise his hand first.

But since the one who raised his hand was the Son of the Hero, Professor Thompson gave him a fair amount of trust—even though his performance during the first month of school had been poor.

Fortunately.

Although Victor was working a bit slower than he had anticipated, he was indeed using the correct method.

This caused his opinion of the Son of the Hero to improve slightly.

A few minutes later.

The Rainbow Liquid in the beaker finally separated into seven layers from top to bottom.

The sunlight slanted through, looking dreamlike and illusory.

"I did it!"

Victor let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"I succeeded, Professor!"

But as he turned his head in surprise to look at Professor Thompson, the magic channeled into the mercury glass rod spiraled out of control for a split second, and the seven colors that had just been separated mixed back together.

This left him stunned.

Applause reached his ears.

It was Professor Thompson's encouragement.

"Well done, Gaude, five points to you!"

Caught between surprise and joy, Victor walked back to his seat with a wide grin.

"With this, the gap between me and Dimon should have narrowed a bit, right?"

But just as he was about to sit down, he heard Professor Thompson's stern reprimand: "I have mentioned since the very first lesson that sleeping is absolutely forbidden in my classroom! Broheim, ten points deducted!"

The bell rang for the end of class.

Victor silently woke up Robert, who had been asleep for the better part of the lesson.

"What's wrong? Victor. Is class starting?"

"Yeah, it's starting, the second period."

"By the way, Robert."

"What is it?"

"I'm 15 points ahead of you."

The second period was the Summoning Technique class.

Having just woken up, Robert didn't cause any more trouble.

But the duo soon realized that cramming at the last minute was useless.

In this class, even though neither of them fell asleep, they still came away empty-handed.

The only stroke of luck was that they didn't get any points deducted.

After class, the two sat in the classroom to summarize.

"75+20+20-5-10+20=120, still 40 points short."

Victor let out a deep sigh; he truly felt it was so difficult.

They had clearly already put in the effort, so why was it still not enough?

Robert was also exceptionally dejected.

After so many failures, he no longer had his previous sense of ease or luck.

In desperation, Robert said helplessly, "Victor, how about we go ask Emma to make an exception for us?"

Victor turned to look at him, his bloodshot eyes widening: "You've got to be kidding? Have you forgotten how you insulted her just two days ago?"

"It was just a sentence or two," Robert said with a guilty conscience, "she will forgive us."

Victor couldn't help but cover his head, breaking down: "What on earth are you thinking? Get this straight, we are already at odds with her!"

Robert: "But..."

The light in Victor's eyes refocused and gradually brightened: "No buts! Paying back debts is only right and proper! I won't run away. Besides, there is still a chance! Let's go, we're playing another round of Magic Chess."

Robert was shocked: "Still playing Magic Chess?"

Victor: "Play! Why wouldn't I? I'll sleep after the next round; I haven't slept in thirty hours!"

Robert: "Let's go eat first, there are no more classes today anyway."

Victor: "Fine."

The two arrived at the cafeteria, ordered a few dishes, and sat down.

Robert ate a lot.

But Victor had no appetite.

He observed that the people around them were looking at him with strange expressions, and he subconsciously smoothed out his messy hair.

It was also at this moment that students from all four houses simultaneously received a notification.

Astronomy class has started!

Secret Technique: Ten Thousand Recommendations into One!

Chapter 36: The Beginning of Dark Demon's Astrology

Astronomy is basically an elective course, and the class time depends entirely on the arrangements of Professor Didi.

Although the schedule says 19:30-21:00, there are actually adjustments.

For example, today's Astronomy class starts at 18:00 in the evening.

Given that there were no classes on Wednesday afternoon, the vast majority of students were not in a hurry, only whispering and discussing for a while after receiving the notification, guessing what Professor Didi would teach in Astronomy.

But as expected, Astronomy has too few entry points into daily life, even more ethereal than the magic they had personally experienced; students could only rely on their imaginations, and all their inspiration came from legends and anecdotes.

Victor and Robert didn't have that much leisure.

The two of them suddenly became nervous.

It wasn't that they were thinking of previewing—Astronomy class didn't even have a textbook!

Furthermore, once it passed 1:00 PM, the debt would double, reaching a full 320 academic points!

And with their current 120 points, it was impossible to earn the remaining 200 points from the next three classes.

Therefore, they had completely abandoned the idea of earning academic points in class.

Robert just wanted to lie down and wait for death.

Victor, however, placed his hope on the in-class tournament during Friday's Dueling Class!

The champion's reward for the in-class tournament was a full 1000 academic points. If he could win this prize before 1:00 PM on Friday, paying off the debt would be a breeze!

Victor's original plan was to start practicing duels with his Magic Phantom Beast tonight to increase his chances of winning.

Now, not only was his evening time occupied, but his time to catch up on sleep was also reduced!

"Wait, speaking of Magic Phantom Beast..."

Victor couldn't help but look at Robert and mutter: "Robert, tomorrow morning is Magic Theory, where is your Magic Phantom Beast?"

Robert's expression gradually shifted from nervous to terrified.

Dark Demon was in the library.

Among the first-year students, there were four who spent the vast majority of their spare time in the library.

One was Dark, one was Emma, one was Sara, and the last was an unknown student from Fool House.

→Exactly one from each house!

They were basically the top students of their respective houses, the pinnacle of intellect.

After receiving the notification that Astronomy classes were starting, Dark thought about finding some books on astronomy to read.

Since Astronomy was an elective course with no final examination, he was quite casual when looking for books.

One was Astronomy Symbols.

One was Starry Sky Decoded.

They piqued his interest.

He pulled both books out and carried them back to the desk in the reading room.

He paid attention to Astronomy Symbols because he saw a circle of symbols on its cover, one of which was exactly the "⊙" that had appeared on the Pride crest.

"So that's it, this is the symbol representing the sun."

Dark drew one on a piece of paper, then added a dot in the center, lost in thought.

"The stellar symbol for Pride being the sun doesn't seem so unacceptable."

"The sun is the central celestial body of the solar system."

"The eight planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, trans-Neptunian objects, and interplanetary dust in the solar system all revolve around the sun."

"And the sequence rank of Pride is 1, which is exactly the number that fits the central symbol."

"If I remember correctly, one of Eevee's evolutionary forms possesses the power of the sun."

"This is a reference point."

"How to connect the sun with Pride... perhaps it will help me analyze the sin of Pride."
