The Villain Young Master Only Wants to Live a Buddhist Life

"Magister House!"

"Klein Moretti!"

"Fool House!"

As time slipped away, there was finally only one last freshman left who had yet to participate in the sorting ceremony!

He also became the person receiving the most attention in the entire hall, enjoying the collective gaze of every grade level at Saint Marian Academy.

Dark couldn't help but look over.

The last freshman to step onto the stage had short black hair, and while his features weren't exactly exquisite, they were all above average, blending together to create a very pleasant appearance.

Relatively speaking, Dark himself belonged to the type of boy whose every feature was refined to the extreme, a sharp-edged, handsome boy with golden hair.

As the villain who persisted throughout the entire game, he was affectionately nicknamed "Golden Hair" by the players, and was said to be the older brother of "Yellow Hair."

"Victor God!"

A pun on "white god"?

Is your naming sense really that lazy?

Dark was simply speechless.

Fine, this was definitely the protagonist of the original work!

"God? Is that the God family from the hero's lineage?"

With the appearance of Victor God, the students in the hall couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Compared to the Dimon family, which had always been active in the public eye, the God family had vanished without a trace after the hero's sacrifice.

Whenever someone asked, the Prophets would always repeat the same sentence with great exaggeration: Since ancient times, whenever a hero appears, it is because humanity needs him!

So, does the disaster come first, or does the hero come first?

Is it the arrival of disaster that causes the hero to appear?

Or does the appearance of the hero trigger the disaster?

Whether they were Prophets or Sages, they were always tight-lipped about this question.

"Dark, do you think the Son of the Hero will come to our house?" Diana asked with her eyes shining.

It wasn't just her; many people in the Noble House were also looking forward to Victor God joining them!

Although the God family kept a low profile, they had been a noble lineage since ancient times. Even if he were assigned to the Noble House, it would be perfectly reasonable!

"If Victor God also joins our house, wouldn't that mean the 'Kingdom's Twin Swords' are finally complete?"

The students of the Noble House discussed it animatedly, their tones hiding a sense of excitement.

However, their wish was destined not to be fulfilled.

Dark looked at the [Wrath -1] floating in his field of vision and couldn't help but smile subtly.

"It seems that as long as I want to, I can still do it, right?"

"Victor God!"

"Knight Academy!"

The fireworks released by the Sorting Card formed a giant Lance in the air.

Victor God walked toward the Knight Academy's table amidst their wild cheers.

"We got a God!"

The name "Victor God" echoed throughout the great hall, even more enthusiastic and fanatical than the cheers when Dark had completed his sorting ceremony!

[Envy +1]

"Damn it!"

[Wrath +1]

Dark hurriedly reined in his emotions.

He clearly felt that he wasn't envious at all, so why did the envy index go up by 1?

This Trash System must be broken!

Dark felt that his character had been insulted!

Principal Arte's soft voice suppressed the cheers filling the hall: "Freshmen, keep your Sorting Cards safe; they will provide guidance for your next six years of academy life!"

At Saint Marian Academy, the sorting ceremony was also the process of issuing the Sorting Cards.

Every new student receives a Sorting Card during the sorting ceremony.

This Sorting Card not only represents the student's identity but is also the first Magitech Card that the student will "personally craft" after entering the academy!

These cards will serve as essential tools for academy life, accompanying the students throughout their six academic years!

Dark also looked toward his own Sorting Card.

As the only son of a duke, he had naturally received a high-level education in a noble household before enrollment, giving him a basic understanding of magic, mages, and Magitech Cards.

Within the kingdom, those who receive an admission letter to Saint Marian Academy are all individuals gifted with magic—the mages of the future.

A mage's magic power grows with age, and while repeated use can improve the quality of that power, it has a very limited effect on increasing the total amount.

Because there is no secret technique like meditation to increase magic power, humans in the past were completely unable to defeat the naturally powerful demons.

It wasn't until the appearance of Merlin, the most powerful mage in history, that the tide of war was turned.

Merlin adopted an alchemy method that refined and imprinted knowledge, magic power, imagination, and Magic Potion into cards, creating the epoch-making Magitech Card!

He then selflessly made this knowledge public!

From then on, mages abandoned their wands and continuously created powerful Magitech Cards, completely eradicating the demons that had fallen behind the times!

The Sorting Card initially provided by the academy is a semi-finished Magitech Card; students must personally complete the final step to craft a complete one.

Principal Arte finished her final remarks with a brief speech, then pulled out a Magitech Card from the gourmet series.

With a gentle wave, she covered all the dining tables with exquisite delicacies.

Faced with the countless dishes emitting an intoxicating aroma, all the students temporarily cast everything else aside and began to feast joyfully.

Among them, only Dark stared at the food in front of him, frozen!

"Huh? Dark, don't you like this Honey Glazed Lamb Leg? Then let Diana help you finish it!"

Diana quickly snatched away Dark's Honey Glazed Lamb Leg.

[Envy +1]

Chapter 4: Dark Demon Masters the Way of Temperance

With Diana's help (gritting her teeth), Dark successfully restrained his impulse for Gluttony!

As for the [Envy +1].

Dark claimed he didn't even know what envy was!

He looked at the empty plate in front of him, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and let his gaze sweep over the delicacies on the table one by one.

Roast Beef, Roast Spring Chicken, Lamb Chop, Sausage, Steak, Yorkshire Pudding, Roasted Cream Potato, Gravy, Ketchup... Beans!

Maintaining an elegant posture, he quietly swallowed his saliva.

Dark scooped a small amount of beans from the large silver bowl filled with them and poured them onto his plate...

"Let's start with the beans! Gluttony is not just eating; eating with restraint shouldn't cause the 'Gluttony' index to increase."

As expected of food created by Principal Arte, who was bestowed with the title of "Saint," even the simple Stewed Beans had a unique flavor.

Dark picked out a single bean from the pile, fixed it in place with his silver fork, sliced it with his table knife, and put it into his mouth piece by piece.

Chewing slowly, the flavor of the bean spread little by little in his mouth—it was damnably sweet!

Dark couldn't help but narrow his eyes and fork another bean.

Sitting across from him, another new student from the Noble House—Rose Floty—was holding a silver spoon, scooping a large spoonful of beans from her small bowl and stuffing them into her mouth.

Suddenly seeing her classmate across the table eating even beans so elegantly and meticulously with such noble flair, Rose Floty felt her cheeks burn and quietly retracted the silver spoon that was halfway into her mouth...

Mimicking Dark, Rose picked up her knife and fork, awkwardly trying to spear a bean, but it kept escaping from her utensils.

This gave her a favorable impression of Dark, who could skillfully use a knife and fork to eat beans.

"I've always heard that the duke's only son was a wicked, ill-mannered brat with no noble bearing at all. I never expected him to be so refined."

Girls of this age always like to fill in the blanks of someone's personality from trivial details.

Especially a girl who had just escaped from the heavy burden of noble etiquette. She was so excited by the freedom after enrollment that her brain was practically oxygen-deprived—otherwise, she couldn't have imagined Young Master Dark as some sort of noble benchmark!

Dark, who was struggling with the beans, did not notice the strangeness of the girl opposite him. Seeing that the beans on his plate were about to be finished, he began to consider the next delicacy—perhaps Yorkshire Pudding would be a good choice?

Although Yorkshire Pudding is named "pudding," it is actually more like a type of bread, and its texture is similar to soft bread.

When dining, it is generally used as a side dish to accompany roast beef.

During preparation, the drippings from the roast beef are smeared onto the pudding baking tray. Once the smoke rises, the batter is poured in. After baking, the pudding expands into a bread-like shape with a golden, crispy crust and a soft, delicate interior, then topped with a layer of gravy containing minced meat...

"Hiss—"

Just imagining it made Dark's mouth water.

He was about to reach for the Yorkshire Pudding when Diana, sitting beside him, suddenly said, "Hey! Dark, do you like beans? Then let Diana give you her portion too!"

As she said this, she dumped the entire large plate of beans in front of her straight onto Dark's dinner plate!

Then she added, "Consider it a thank-you gift for the Honey Glazed Lamb Leg!"

Turning back, she whispered, "Diana doesn't like eating beans..."

Dark looked at the mountain of beans piled onto his plate, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch.

[Wrath+1]

"Damn it!"

Even though he wasn't actually that angry, the "Wrath" indicator had suddenly increased.

Was it because his Demon God Bloodline had entered the awakening stage, making him more prone to corruption?

Dark silently swallowed the beans.

His heart was anxious and irritable, yet his posture remained calm and elegant, his movements unhurried.

When he finished off every last bean on his plate, all the food on the dining tables vanished from the plates and bowls in an instant!

The main course had ended, and it was time for dessert!

Various flavors of ice cream, apple pie, treacle tart, chocolate muffins, jam doughnuts, trifle, strawberry pie, and more appeared on the tables!

An intensely rich, sweet aroma washed over him!

Dark stared silently at the desserts.

He wasn't full at all!

The hunger in his stomach combined with the rich scent of the sweets made them impossible to resist!

He reached out his sinful hand toward his favorite chocolate muffin!
