As he spoke, he turned back to the laboratory bench and reached out his hand.

Just as Dark raised his guard, he pulled a Flower Card from a card pack on the shelf, the card adorned with a green rose.

A pure and simple green rose, carrying a blessing for eternal youth and longing for everlasting love.

A glimmer of tenderness flashed in Professor Kazel's eyes: "Although this is just a small trick, there is something inside it that even I cannot see through. However, as long as the magic power is interrupted, it can be reliably separated from it; it is harmless."

When Dark walked out of the laboratory, he had already given up on probing Professor Kazel.

He always felt that Professor Kazel could not possibly be the person who truly created the Flower Card.

But Leon did not seem to be lying—in fact, he had no reason to.

"So, is it possible that someone disguised themselves as the professor to gain people's trust?"

Dark thought of the Disguise Card.

If the design within a Disguise Card is a skin suit that looks exactly like a person, could it be used to impersonate anyone?

This was both a hypothesis and a deduction.

"Perhaps I should study the Disguise Card."

Senior Pandora was teasing her Meow Meow Grass on the counter—it was a chubby chinchilla.

It was a chinchilla, not a mouse!

She had used a small-range Silence Card around the Meow Meow Grass to ensure that the creature's cries would not disturb the students in the library.

Dark always felt that her behavior was abrupt, as she had never brought the Meow Meow Grass to the library before.

"Could it be bait?"

While thinking this, Dark's fingers had unknowingly begun to scratch the chinchilla's chin.

There was a scale on the chinchilla's chin; it was soft, warm, and not at all prickly.

"Did you buy a Meow Meow Grass?" Senior Pandora narrowed her eyes.

Dark: "I bought a shorthair cat."

Soliciting titles for Halloween, specifically for the one who catches the most ghosts!

Sacrificed a bit of my dignity. Novel site.

Dark learned the location of books related to Meow Meow Grass from Senior Pandora and quickly found a copy of Ten Thousand Mimicries of the Plant Kingdom in the library.

The library was relatively empty on a Friday night.

Dark poured himself a cup of unscented black tea and began to read carefully.

"Mimicry refers to an ecological adaptation phenomenon in which one organism simulates the morphological, behavioral, or other characteristics of another organism or non-living object, thereby benefiting one or both parties. It is a special behavior formed by organisms during long-term evolution in nature."

"The biological phenomenon of Meow Meow Grass originates from mimicry."

"A typical mimicry system is composed of a mimic, a model, and a dupe."

"Taking Meow Meow Grass as an example."

"The mimic is the Meow Meow Grass itself."

"The model is a cat."

"And the dupe is a human."

"The six major organs of a plant: root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, and seed."

"Dividing the Meow Meow Grass according to plant structure."

"The part buried in the soil is the root."

"The tail is the stem."

"And the fur all over its body is... leaves?"

Seeing this, Dark was completely dumbfounded.

According to his initial imagination, he had originally thought that the "cat" part of the Meow Meow Grass should belong to the "fruit."

But now it seemed that was not the case.

The cat fur was leaves, while the body, limbs, and head were all like the main body of a cactus, belonging to the succulent stem.

As for the flowers and fruits...

Every spring and autumn, beautiful flowers would grow on top of the Meow Meow Grass's head.

Once the petals wither, the fruit will form.

As for the seeds, they are naturally contained within the fruit.

Dark continued flipping through the books, gradually gaining a more detailed understanding of the ecology of the Meow Meow Grass.

When they are about to bloom, they transport the vast majority of the nutrients within their bodies to the patch on top of their heads, which then stimulates the growth of flower buds, develops them into blossoms, and finally leads to flowering, pollination, and the formation of fruit.

"This is a very important process."

Dark drew the entire process as a diagram in his notebook. He then circled the top of the Meow Meow Grass's head, confident that he had found the cause.

To corroborate his theory, he looked up a great deal more material. It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that he borrowed a copy of Dress-up Master and left the library.

Senior Pandora was not always in the library; for the most part, Ms. Bella was on duty.

After returning to his dormitory, Dark turned on the lights, placed the borrowed book on the table, and then walked onto the balcony.

"Meow-woo--"

The Meow Meow Grass trotted over on its short legs. Dark squatted down to scratch its chin, while his other hand carefully felt around the Pride crest on top of its head.

Sure enough, he discovered a tiny, new bud in the center of the Pride crest!

Feeling the protrusion pressing against his fingertip, Dark was suddenly quite excited.

What kind of fruit would the Meow Meow Grass produce after absorbing Pride?

"Speaking of fruit, there are countless Magic Potions made from various fruits, and even some Magic Spirit Cards require specific fruits as core materials. Before it successfully bears fruit, I might be able to research related Magic Potions or the creation of Magic Spirits."

The Wrath that had been weighing on his mind had also dissipated somewhat.

After a while, he carried the Meow Meow Grass to the bathroom to rinse it off, placed it on his nightstand, and after reading a bit more of Dress-up Master, he drifted into a deep sleep.

But the Friday night was far from over.

Diana and Rose were still making a ruckus in the common room.

After the tea party ended, Emma had been invited to a meeting at the Magister House, which would last all night.

Having calmed her nerves, Pandora was preparing for tomorrow's Magic Duel tournament.

As for Victor and Robert, they returned to their dormitory quite late after playing wildly for half the night.

But not long after returning, Victor quietly pulled open the door, peeked into Robert's room, and then slipped out of the Knight Academy tower.

Walking into the silent Castle, Victor couldn't help but recall the events of the afternoon.

Emma's final ripple had truly struck a chord in his heart.

It had nearly caused him to make the wrong decision.

Fortunately, Robert had taken the initiative to suggest going to the library to study, which gave him a glimmer of hope for change.

"Think of your departed parents!"

Although Victor had never met his parents, he had grown up listening to stories of the Hero.

The Hero had always been the person he admired most.

The day he learned from Headmistress Arte that he was the Son of the Hero, he had been absolutely ecstatic!

But looking back now at his actions over the past month or so.

He wanted to find a hole in the ground and bury himself completely!

→When he first entered the library, that was indeed what he had thought.

He had even set a small goal for himself: to surpass Dark Dimon before the end of the semester!

But two hours later, the arduous Arithmetic homework had crushed his willpower.

After exchanging a look with Robert, the two brothers reached a consensus: combine work with rest!

Yes.

They had also learned from Dark's teachings!

The sound of solitary footsteps echoed through the corridor.

Victor pulled out Forbidden Love and channeled only a sliver of magic into it; pink mist seeped out from the card face, gradually coalescing into a blurred humanoid shape.

He had not forgotten his one small goal—to surpass Dark!

And to achieve that, conventional methods no longer seemed feasible; he had to find another way.

Following the guidance of the pink mist, Victor arrived once again at the small shrine he had visited the night before.

The group of Tinkerer who had been clamoring to launch a Holy War were not here.

He carefully checked his surroundings, confirming that no one else was hiding in the corners as he had been the night before, before finally standing still in front of the statue.

The statue's skin had become increasingly delicate, and its fair face radiated a soft halo, as if it could open its eyes at any moment.

Victor pulled the Chapter of the Old Days, which he had borrowed behind Robert's back that afternoon, out of his shoulder bag and carefully flipped through it, comparing the pages to the face of the statue.

The Chapter of the Old Days recorded the deities who had once ruled over all realms.

They existed at least five eras ago; they came from the starry sky, and they walked within the abyss. They were once great, they once ruled over all realms... They had long been forgotten by history; they were the Old Ones buried in ancient dust!

Half an hour later.

A look of joy appeared in Victor's eyes.

He had found a deity whose face resembled that of the statue.

"She was born of the moon and descended upon the earth; she is both the Moon Goddess and the Earth Mother Goddess; she specializes in the reproduction of all things and is generous with the bounties of the earth; she is the most beautiful goddess, the ruler of the night, her beauty is eternal, she is sacred, noble, and presides over fertility, childbirth, and love..."

The Old Ones in this text are taken literally, the scope is very general, and there are a large number of original parts; they do not refer solely to the deities in Cthulhu mythology.

Everything is subject to the settings of this book.

Chapter 54: The Beginning of the Bliss Series Magitech Cards

Scattered moonlight dotted the night, and St. Marian was filled with mottled shadows.

At the top of the Spiral Clock Tower in the center of the Castle, Professor Didi Maxwell floated in the air, her butterfly-like wings fluttering gently.

Deep wrinkles lined her forehead, and two crescent moons were reflected in her eyes.

Time is like a blade, yet it should not have touched her.
