The Villain Young Master Just Wants to Live a Buddhist Life

After completing the task, Diana became restless. She stealthily fished a Flower Card featuring an ink-wash style black rose from her card deck and slid it across the table toward Dark.

"Hey, Dark, want to try this divination card? I heard it's super accurate!"

Dark looked up, glanced at it, and said casually, "A Love Divination Card?"

"Oh, so you knew..." Diana looked like a kitten caught stealing a treat, and she slowly inched the Love Divination Card back toward herself.

"It's not like I'm completely oblivious to the world outside." Dark found it somewhat amusing.

He then asked, "Where did you all get these Flower Cards?"

"Eh?" Diana thought for a moment. "One came as a gift with some candy, and this one was tucked into the door crack when I left this morning."

Dark frowned slightly. "Someone is spreading these Flower Cards? Can you lend this card to me?"

Diana immediately beamed. "Of course!"

Ah! My finger was cut by the paper, blood! Blood!

Dark Demon doesn't understand what a lover is.

With the Flower Card in hand, Dark examined it carefully.

It was no surprise that this thing had become popular; it certainly wasn't a shoddy product.

The material of the Flower Card itself was similar to that of a Magitech Card, and the flower depicted on it was so lifelike that it felt as if it might bloom at any moment.

Diana's Flower Card featured a Cherry Blossom, while the one in Dark's hand was a Black Rose.

Additionally, Professor Lily's Flower Card was a Blue Enchantress.

Dark had also caught a glimpse of Emma's Flower Card, which was a Lily.

The Cherry Blossom is a symbol of love and hope, representing elegant, simple, and pure love.

The Black Rose symbolizes desperate love, filled with hatred and curses, a desire to possess the beloved entirely!

The Blue Enchantress represents pure love, a sincere and kind prayer for miracles and the occurrence of the impossible.

As for the Lily, it signifies a hundred years of harmony, containing deep blessings for family and love.

By using various floral designs, these Flower Cards not only endowed each card with different meanings but also added an extra element of collectibility.

Beyond their exquisite appearance, the functionality of the Flower Cards was also outstanding.

By injecting magic power, the flowers could be brought to "life," and they could even emit faint floral scents.

In particular, the divination that allowed one to see their "beloved" or even "the person their beloved loves" was incredibly attractive to the adolescent students of St. Marian!

Dark pondered for a moment, injected a trace of magic power, and gave it a light flick. The Black Rose on the card suddenly flew out, its petals scattering in the wind.

He reached out to catch a Black Rose petal, but felt only a faint chill before the rose dissolved like water.

He was lost in thought when he suddenly looked up!

He found himself eye-to-eye and nose-to-nose with Diana, who had leaned in at some point.

A hint of milky fragrance drifted into his nostrils.

Hmm, this kid was sneaking milk candies in the library!

Having exposed Diana's crime, Dark immediately pressed his hand against her forehead and pushed her away.

Diana retreated, looking quite unhappy, but her eyes remained fixed on the Love Divination Card in Dark's hand.

Dark didn't mind; he also wanted to see who his "beloved" was.

But what appeared on the card was an Eevee!

"Eh?"

Diana's eyes widened in surprise.

Dark just shook his head and smiled: It seems this Love Divination Card isn't all that reliable.

However, when he injected his magic power just now, he had sensed something unusual!

"Can you give this to me?"

Dark asked, looking up.

Diana nodded quickly. "Dark, you really do love your Magic Phantom Beast!"

Dark nodded. "After all, it is my first Magic Spirit Card. But looking at it this way, the so-called divination of these Flower Cards isn't really about lovers; it's likely using some kind of trick."

"Is that so?"

Diana tilted her head, looking happy again.

On the other side of the reading room.

Victor was biting on his pen while doing his homework, his brows furrowed tightly.

Robert was in an even worse state than him.

The bitter consequences of not listening in class were gradually fermenting, and as the difficulty of the assignments deepened day by day, he finally encountered a problem he couldn't solve no matter how hard he thought.

His head ached!

Victor put down his pen and pulled a Flower Card from between the pages of his textbook.

This Flower Card was a bonus gift that came with the Magic Chess set the two had purchased.

The Flower Card was adorned with red lilacs, representing the sentiments of a first love.

As he quietly injected his magic, the face of a fair-skinned beauty emerged on the card's surface.

A young boy's affection is naive.

It started with him caring about her because her profile resembled his mother's.

Later, it gradually developed into longing.

He broke free from that mold and it became its own thing.

He cared about her simply because she was her.

Especially after seeing her again today, he felt an even greater restlessness.

Robert glanced over and muttered, "If you like her that much, then make a move!"

Victor's face flushed red, and just as he was about to say that he would be satisfied just by being able to look at her a few more times, the beautiful face on the card suddenly stuck out a delicate, fragrant tongue and licked the corner of its mouth.

"Ah!"

Victor let out a sudden shriek.

In the library, where silence was required, his scream immediately drew the attention of many people.

Robert whispered, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Victor sat back down with a flushed face, his hand gripping the Flower Card tightly.

"Let's stop here with the homework. Let's go practice dueling; tomorrow is our last hope!"

Robert had been waiting for this moment, so he quickly closed his books and assignments, stuffing them all into his bag at once.

The two left the library at a brisk pace.

When they registered their departure time at the counter, Victor's heart nearly jumped out of his chest.

That evening.

Dark ended his time at the library early.

The slight anomaly that occurred when he injected magic into the Flower Card had bothered him quite a bit.

But it wasn't convenient to conduct experiments in the library.

He had no choice but to return to his dormitory first.

When he walked out of the library, the sky had already turned dark.

He looked up at the night sky and noticed that the moon was still very round tonight.

Once he reached his dormitory, he locked the door, put down his bag, and took out that Black Rose Flower Card once again.

"Something is wrong."

Placing the Flower Card on the table, Dark furrowed his brows and pondered for a long time, then took a Magic Pen from his drawer.

Using the Magic Pen as a medium to conduct magic could relatively effectively avoid certain dangers and also make it more convenient to observe.

Dark stepped back slightly, stretched out his arm, touched the Magic Pen to the Flower Card, and then injected his magic.

It wasn't just a tiny bit like in the library, but a continuous, steady stream of input!

Soon, the Black Rose on the card retreated to the edges under the influence of the magic, and the words "the person beloved in one's heart" appeared on the surface.

This time, what appeared was still Eevee.

But as soon as Dark shifted his thoughts, that Eevee vanished.

Appearing on the card once again was the Valkyrie Alvitr, who was far away in the Duchy.

Unexpectedly, Alvitr was a golden-haired beauty with a gentle appearance.

If not for the statues scattered throughout the kingdom, the public would likely assume she was the pampered daughter of some noble family.

Dark shifted his thoughts again, and Alvitr's portrait gradually faded away.

This time, the face that surfaced on the card was Diana.

Then came Rose, Pandora, Professor Lily...

Face after face flashed across the card as more and more magic power was poured into the Flower Card.

Suddenly, the Black Rose on the card began to unravel. Starting from the stamen, it decomposed into thin, long black threads.

Those black threads transformed into thorny vines, twisting and coiling like little snakes.

Dark abruptly raised his Magic Pen, and those thorny black vines suddenly broke through the surface, growing snake heads from their tips as they swarmed out to bite!

"Petit Dart!"

Three shark-headed syringes flew out instantly, blasting through the snake heads in a flash and pinning the restless Flower Card to the tabletop!

[Bliss -1]

Take this recommendation!

Chapter 40: Dark and Victor Go Their Separate Ways

The [Bliss -1] floating in his field of vision made Dark realize that his intuition had not been wrong.

This Flower Card could indeed draw upon a person's thoughts through the conduction of magic power.

The so-called "divination" was nothing more than extracting the "person currently being thought of" from the surface of one's mind.

By imbuing the Flower Card with the concept of "Love Divination," it guided people to naturally think of the person on their mind when using it, and that person would then appear on the card.

Even the subsequent "the person loved by the person you love" was merely what one believed to be true themselves.
