The Villain Young Master Just Wants to Live a Buddhist Life

Professor Kazel took one last look at the Forbidden Love card, which had finally calmed down, before turning to continue walking forward.

"Keep copying the notes from the board!"

This was likely the first time he had been angry since the start of the semester.

As the most popular professor among the first-year students, Professor Kazel always presented himself with a kind and approachable demeanor, and his teaching style was incredibly engaging rather than dull.

This led the students to immediately assume that it must have been the Son of the Hero who had committed an intolerable blunder!

The eyes of the Knight Academy students held a trace of pity.

The students of the Noble House, for the most part, wore expressions of mockery and schadenfreude.

Even Dark stood with his mouth half-open, unsure whether to sympathize or laugh.

[Wrath -1]

At any rate, the anger had dissipated quite a bit.

Dark shifted his attention back to his notebook.

As for the matter, he could guess it even with his eyes closed: Victor must have used that Forbidden Love card to scan the back of Professor Kazel's head.

Was the back of a professor's head really something you could just scan?

Professor Kazel was a legendary master of alchemy, one of the few remaining from the era of Merlin!

Although he had since transitioned into a Magic Guidance expert, that only meant his scope of knowledge had broadened, making him even more powerful.

For Victor to actually use a Flower Card to pry into the thoughts of a Magic Guidance expert of that caliber—was he not just looking for death?

It was fortunate that Professor Kazel had a good temper.

If it had been Professor Jones, who possessed the bloodline of a Giant, he likely would have slapped him across the room!

Tsk.

His hands were too itchy!

After Dark finished copying the notes, he glanced toward that direction intentionally or otherwise.

Victor appeared very nervous, but he was finally copying the notes diligently alongside Robert.

Time ticked away, drop by drop.

Finally, it was time for class to end.

Professor Kazel glanced toward Victor's side before gathering his teaching materials and walking out of the classroom.

Victor couldn't help but lower his head, sluggishly packing up his textbooks.

Robert couldn't help but ask, "What now?"

Victor lamented, "What else can I do? Go to the office."

Robert racked his brains until he finally came up with a word of comfort: "Relax, Victor. Hasn't the professor already deducted fifty points from you? There shouldn't be any other kind of punishment."

"Other kinds of punishment?"

Reminded by this, Victor suddenly raised his head: "He won't expel me, will he?"

At the thought of this, Victor became exceptionally terrified.

As for his credits being deducted into the negatives, that didn't even matter!

He had received his admission letter to Saint Marian Academy while at the orphanage, and the headmaster himself had brought him to the academy.

Once expelled, he would have nowhere to go!

Saint Marian Academy was his only home.

For the rest of the way, no matter how Robert tried to comfort him, Victor couldn't take any of it in.

He arrived at Professor Kazel's office in a daze and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Victor turned the handle, pushed the door open a crack, and cautiously peeked inside.

But the first thing he saw was not an angry Professor Kazel.

It was Dark Dimon, leaning on the sofa and sipping black tea.

Seeing Victor poke his head in, Dark flashed him a friendly smile and then gestured toward the door with his teacup.

Realizing this, Victor hurried into the office and closed the door behind him.

Then, he finally saw Professor Kazel sitting behind the desk.

Professor Kazel's expression was very calm, not nearly as angry as he had imagined.

Coupled with the presence of Dark, a fellow student, the tension in Victor's heart eased significantly.

He lowered his head and walked forward a few steps, arriving in front of the desk, and squeezed out a sentence: "Professor."

"Thud."

Victor shuddered violently.

It was just Dark Demon placing his teacup back onto the coffee table.

Dark Demon certainly didn't teleport; it was just that Victor had been dragging his feet, which allowed him to reach the office a step earlier.

Because the issue was triggered by a Flower Card, it was easy for Dark Demon to get involved.

But he and Professor Kazel hadn't chatted for long before Victor arrived. So, he simply sat down to watch the show—oh wait, to drink tea!

Regardless, he was familiar with this office!

Professor Kazel raised his head and tapped the desktop with his fingertips: "Bring that Magitech Card over here and let me see it."

Although Victor was reluctant, under the intimidation of Professor Kazel, he still handed over Forbidden Love.

After Professor Kazel took the card, he frowned and said: "A Flower Card? You turned this Flower Card into a Magitech Card?"

Victor bit the bullet and said: "Yes, Professor."

Professor Kazel took a Magitech Card from his drawer and swiped it across the desktop. Immediately, a cubic barrier appeared, surrounding Forbidden Love.

Then he raised his Magic Pen and pointed it into the void toward Forbidden Love.

The magic power gathered into a beam, passed through the barrier, and injected into Forbidden Love.

Victor watched nervously.

Dark Demon couldn't help but widen his eyes, full of curiosity.

But after coming into contact with Professor Kazel's magic power, Forbidden Love merely trembled, rising up a thin layer of mist.

Professor Kazel couldn't help but frown: "It has actually undergone deep-level binding."

Then he raised his head and looked at Victor: "Do you have anything to say?"

Victor gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Professor Kazel continued: "According to the academy's rules, even we professors do not have the authority to pry too deeply into a student's secrets, especially those related to Magitech Card crafting. But if you were willing yourself... hmm, it seems you are not."

Professor Kazel waved his hand and dispelled the barrier.

Then he pushed Forbidden Love back in front of Victor and said sternly: "Remember what I said when the semester began. Magitech Cards themselves have no distinction between good and evil, but the users do. Peering into others' thoughts without consent is a major taboo. I am only deducting 50 points from you because it is your first offense. I hope you will behave yourself."

Victor took back Forbidden Love, his sweat already dampening his back.

Under Professor Kazel's gaze, he barely mustered the courage to say: "Professor, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind."

After Victor walked out of the office, Robert quickly leaned in.

Victor closed the door, his steps feeling unsteady, and leaned against Robert.

Speaking with Professor Kazel felt like being under an invisible pressure that repeatedly crushed his mental will.

There was only one thought in his mind now: never do it again!

Chapter 59: Dark Demon Masters Ancient Techniques

After Victor left, Dark Demon finally spoke to Professor Kazel: "Professor, did you find anything?"

Professor Kazel shook his head and said: "The crafting technology for Magitech Cards has developed to be very mature to this day. Even with violent disassembly, it is very difficult to penetrate its essence. This is also why many Magitech Crafters can sell their new Magitech Cards with peace of mind."

Dark Demon couldn't help but feel a little regretful after hearing this.

But at the same time, he had a slight realization.

It was precisely because Magitech Cards came with anti-theft technology that people were willing to study them diligently and continue to forge ahead, allowing Magitech technology to develop at high speed.

Professor Kazel added: "However, I sensed a very ancient aura from that Flower Card. It is very likely to involve some power I am not familiar with. But since Victor Gaude is the Son of the Hero, he certainly possesses gifts originating from the Hero. It is normal that I cannot see through it."

Dark Demon's mind turned, and he stated the true purpose of his visit: "Then Professor, how can one guard against this kind of thought-peering by Magitech Cards?"

Professor Kazel picked up his Magic Pen and spun it, wearing a smile again: "Demon, that is not easy."

Dark Demon also smiled and said: "That is why I came to ask for your guidance, Professor."

Professor Kazel beckoned: "Come here."

Dark Demon stood up and walked behind the desk, facing Professor Kazel.

The professor looked him up and down and said: "You are very talented, but sometimes being overly eager for success is not good. Any Magitech technology involving the brain is very dangerous because human research on the brain is still limited to the level of experience. However, if you really want to learn, I can teach you a type of mental magic."

Dark Demon: "Mental magic?"

Professor Kazel nodded: "Yes. In this era where Magitech technology is popularized, ancient magic has been gradually forgotten in the dust of history. But we must understand that just because a technology has been phased out does not mean it is not a good technology."

Dark Demon said: "That is indeed true. Just like history, we can always draw inspiration from the past."

Professor Kazel looked very pleased as he said, "Since you lack a foundation in magic, we shall set aside overly profound mental magic for now. I have a technique here that can help you resist mental intrusion by focusing your mental power. Would you like to learn it?"

Dark naturally nodded in agreement.

Professor Kazel's magic was truly fundamental, known simply as the Meditation Art. It was said to be a technique used by mental-type mages in the past to condense their mental power.

Once this technique was mastered, while one could not defend against mental intrusion at all times like Professor Kazel, casting it in advance could provide a temporary defensive effect.

However, this technique was not easy to master; it required steady, persistent effort to learn bit by bit.

After teaching him the method, Professor Kazel said, "I can help you experience the Meditation State of the Meditation Art once in advance."

Dark knew this was an opportunity and immediately straightened his expression, asking, "What do I need to do?"

Professor Kazel nodded with satisfaction. "Simply close your eyes."

Dark immediately closed his eyes.

Professor Kazel raised his hand, light gathering at his fingertip, and suddenly tapped it against the center of Dark's brow.

That sliver of light then spread out, rippling as if it were breathing.

Dark suddenly felt his mind go completely blank; there was nothing, nothing existed, save for a tiny, tiny black dot in the center.

Once he focused his attention on this black dot, it felt as if his entire soul were being drawn toward it.

"Wah!"

He let out a sharp cry and opened his eyes.

The professor asked with concern, "How was it?"

Dark replied, "It felt as if my entire spirit was concentrated into a single point, with no other thoughts remaining."
