The Villain Young Master Only Wants to Live a Buddhist Life Chapter 4

[Gluttony+1]

"It's only 1 point, I just lost 1 point earlier!"

Dark reached for the syrup cookie again.

[Gluttony+1]

"It's fine, the Gluttony gauge still has plenty of room!"

"I'll start dieting tomorrow, I'll definitely be able to lose it."

[Gluttony+1]

Dark ate another piece of strawberry pie and finally stopped.

He then picked up a wet towel from the side and carefully wiped the sugar stains from the corner of his mouth.

"Do you like desserts too, Dark?"

"Diana loves desserts so much!"

You like everything except beans, don't you?

Ignoring the girl's murmurs in his ear, Dark adjusted his posture slightly and tilted his gaze toward the Knight Academy's long table.

At this moment, a new student was already chatting happily beside Victor Gaude. If his guess was correct, this should be the protagonist's best friend who played the role of Ron Weasley.

The poor protagonist's best friend, who spent his whole life doing the dirty work in Harry Potter, finally managed to land a Hermione Granger and successfully enjoyed a delicious free ride.

But in this galgame, Duel! Saint Marian Super xx Academy, he was definitely not going to land anyone!

A lonely life might just be his final ending.

Dark couldn't help but sigh; at least he had a fiancée entering next school year to look forward to.

So, where was that first heroine who played the role of Hermione Granger?

Dark glanced around a few times, but since he couldn't find any girl who was particularly close to the protagonist Victor, he withdrew his gaze.

However, even though Dark had already withdrawn his gaze, the perceptive Victor had already noticed his stare.

Perhaps Dark's temperament was too outstanding among his peers, making it hard for people to ignore him.

"Who is that guy with his eyes growing on his nose?" Victor asked in a low voice.

The Ron counterpart beside him, Robert Broheim, immediately asked in confusion, "Aren't eyes supposed to grow on the nose?"

"Uh, I meant his forehead." Victor pointed to his brow.

Robert shrugged, "If you're talking about the blonde one, that's the son of the kingdom's only duchess, Alvitr Saint Demon—Dark Demon!"

Victor muttered, "Alvitr Demon, the Valkyrie who is called the Kingdom's Twin Swords alongside my father? Then her son should also be as noble and righteous as a Valkyrie, right? Maybe I could become good friends with him?"

"Pfft!" Robert couldn't help but mock, "Victor, not everyone inherits their parents' fine virtues like you do."

Victor: "Is that so? But I don't even know what my parents look like..."

Chapter 5 Dark Demon Attempts to Become a Straight-A Student

"After you go back, don't forget to use your Sorting Card to check the school rules. Finally, I wish the new students all the best in finding your own value at Saint Marian Academy over the next six years!"

The opening banquet ended amidst the students' cheers.

Principal Arte did not drop any hints to guide the plot like Principal Dumbledore did in Harry Potter.

This left Dark feeling a bit unsure of the situation.

But upon careful thought, even if something bad were to happen, the protagonist would be the one to shoulder it; what did it have to do with him, a villain?

Better to just take care of himself!

Saint Marian Academy was a closed school; students could not leave except during holidays.

Once the school gates closed, money, power, and connections would all be cut off.

Knowledge, ability, and academic credits were the biggest factors in determining one's standing.

Even as a duke's son, once he became a bottom-feeder, he would be spurned by others.

Moreover, everyone who could enter Saint Marian Academy was a future Magic Guidance master; they did not fear the authority of nobles.

Dark knew that his reputation outside was not good, and only the Noble House students, who were pure-blood nobles, would get close to him out of empathy.

However, this suited his plan perfectly: reduce social interaction and cultivate his character. While maintaining a laid-back life, he would delve into knowledge and find a way to completely eradicate the Demon God Bloodline before it fully awakened!

Saint Marian Academy was the place with the deepest foundation and the largest collection of books in the kingdom, aside from the Holy Rite Academy. If he couldn't find a way to remove the Demon God Bloodline here, then he might as well give up.

Following the senior students out of the great hall, climbing the marble staircase, passing through the winding corridors filled with portraits, and crossing a high-hanging bridge, the new students of the Noble House finally arrived at the tower located on the southwest side of the academy—the dormitory building for the Noble House!

Saint Marian Academy had four such towers, each with nine floors excluding the basement.

The first floor was the common room.

From the second floor upward, they were the dormitories for first-year to sixth-year students, respectively.

The eighth floor above is the Duel Practice Room, and the ninth floor is the Observatory!

The guardian golem of the Noble House is a legendary creature known as a "Feathered Serpent"!

Feathered Serpents possess colorful wings; they are profound and wise, gentle and elegant.

They cannot tell lies, can see through falsehoods, and glimpse the truth; they are known as "Truth Tellers"!

The reason the Noble House dormitory is the only one among the four houses that can be entered directly without "keys" like credentials, passwords, or codes.

Is precisely because of the existence of the Feathered Serpent golem.

As long as you pass in front of this golem, it can tell whether or not you are a student of the Noble House.

Dark watched as Diana ran into the tower in a flurry, so he followed after her.

When he passed in front of the Feathered Serpent, the golem coiled at the door suddenly opened its serpentine eyes, its pupils vertical, bright and spirited—not at all like a lifeless golem!

Dark held his breath, terrified.

But the white light shining from the Feathered Serpent's eyes only swept over him once before retracting.

Then, the Feathered Serpent closed its eyes again, and there was not another sound.

Dark hurriedly quickened his pace and entered the tower, only then letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

I almost thought my Demon God Bloodline had been discovered!

Originally, when Dark saw that the awakening of the Demon God Bloodline had a progress bar, he thought there was room for error.

But now, seeing this, even if only 1% had awakened, it could not escape the Eye of Truth of this Feathered Serpent golem!

Is this the legendary hell difficulty?

"Dark, what's your room number?"

Diana ran back over, clutching her Sorting Card.

Dark, still feeling lingering fear from the entrance, also injected magic power into his Sorting Card.

The "Crown" pattern on the front of the Sorting Card faded away, revealing the information he wanted to know.

"201."

"Eh? Diana is 233, that's so far away!"

"Aren't they both in the same building?"

Dark gave a perfunctory reply, then quickly walked up to the second floor and found the room located at the very front.

Only after entering the room and locking the door did he gradually relax, unable to help but smile bitterly.

I haven't felt this much pressure in both my lives combined.

The dormitory was a single room, featuring not only a soft bed but also an independent bathroom.

On the bed were brand-new daily necessities and a full set of first-year textbooks.

Dark had just managed to make the bed when his brain blanked out from sheer exhaustion.

I'll think about it tomorrow!

The sky had just brightened.

Dark opened his eyes wearily; a bronze wall clock hung on the wall opposite the head of the bed, its hour hand just pointing to six o'clock.

"Six o'clock? Classes seem to start at eight... I'll sleep a little longer!"

[Sloth +1]

A cruel system notification suddenly drifted before his eyes.

Dark was jolted awake, all sleepiness vanishing instantly!

"Da... a type of plant."

The "Wrath" index hadn't increased, and Dark wiped the sweat from his brow.

Currently, the room for error was smallest for "Pride" and "Wrath," while "Envy" and "Gluttony" were relatively more lenient.

A quarter of an hour later.

Dark, now changed into his school uniform, arrived at the first-floor common room.

The Noble House uniform was black with gold trim, featuring a small crown design on the chest, and the academy also provided a matching Card Case capable of holding twenty-one Magitech Cards.

The common room was very quiet, and the Magitech Lamps hanging on the walls would automatically light up when someone arrived.

Having lost the joy of a morning nap, Dark sat down in a seat with a decadent expression and then took out the textbooks from his shoulder bag one by one.

If he wanted to eradicate the Demon God Bloodline, besides finding the correct method, necessary knowledge and ability were also extremely important.

Imagine, if a Magitech Book recording the correct method were placed right in front of you, but you couldn't understand it at all—how despairing would that be?

"The antonym of 'Sloth' is 'Diligence'."

Dark picked out the textbook needed for the first class of the day from a large pile of books—Beginner's Guide to Summoning!

As the method for awakening Magitech Cards, the Summoning Technique is a foundational spell that every Little Magister must master!

Setting the Summoning Class as the first period on Monday was intended to teach freshmen how to summon the Familiars contained within their Sorting Cards.

Under the slightly dim light, Dark Dimon opened the textbook and began to preview the material in the common room, where there was not another soul to be found.

A few minutes later, Dark gradually entered the zone.

In his past life, he was at least a university graduate, possessing more than enough reading comprehension skills.

Among the Little Magisters of his age, there should be no one with stronger literacy skills than him.

Perhaps becoming a top student like this wouldn't be so bad?

[Pride+1]

Dark suddenly realized he had made progress; he hadn't even brought up that plant.

If one can enter the zone while studying, it actually feels quite good.

Because one can tangibly feel that they are making progress.

Humanity's thirst for knowledge is innate; only by constantly acquiring knowledge, exploring the unknown, and unraveling mysteries can one usher in one great era after another.

After studying diligently for an hour.

[Greed+1]

"Damn it!"

[Wrath+1]
