By the time he finished reading the newspaper, breakfast had also come to an end.
In the past, he would simply place the dishes into a basket and have DemiDevimon take them back.
But in reality, that wasn't exactly ideal.
Today, he finally had an automatic dishwasher.
Trash Slime-chan quickly absorbed all the food scraps and milk stains from the dishes, leaving the entire set of tableware looking brand new.
When DemiDevimon returned the basket, the Halfling chefs seemed a bit surprised, all feeling that the son of the Valkyrie had grown up a little more.
Around 7:15 AM.
On his way to the Dueling Class classroom, Dark encountered Victor, who was rushing about in a panic, seemingly looking for something.
He felt a bit puzzled.
But Victor was running a bit too fast, so he didn't give chase.
Around 7:20 AM.
A scream suddenly echoed from a corner of the Castle.
"Ah--"
A new day had kicked off in excitement.
Having caught the scent of gossip, Dark was like a cat that had smelled fish.
He reacted almost immediately, stopping in his tracks just as he was about to enter the Dueling Class classroom, and turned around to head toward the source of the scream.
He didn't run down the hallway, but instead drew "Magic Phantom Beast: Eevee" from his card deck.
The academy did not allow the casual summoning of Familiars in the hallways, but strangely, there were no restrictions on Magic Spirits.
Of course, even if one were to summon a Familiar, few people would actually care.
It was just that DemiDevimon wasn't by Dark's side at the moment.
"Magic Guidance Summon!"
A white light glowed from the Magitech Card, and little Eevee leaped out, manifesting into a physical form as it landed.
"Bui?"
"Go over there and take a look; return if there's any danger."
Dark pointed toward the source of the sound.
Eevee understood immediately and took off at a sprint.
At this time of day, there were actually quite a few students in the hallways leading to the various classrooms.
Those who noticed the scream quickly gathered toward it.
Although St. Marian appeared to have only four houses and four classes per grade, in reality, there were six grades, totaling twenty-four classes!
With forty to fifty students per class, there were nearly a thousand students in the castle, which was quite a significant number.
Usually, because there were many side paths in the castle, the crowd was dispersed, so it wasn't very noticeable.
But once an incident occurred, many people crowded toward one spot, and the hallway began to feel cramped.
Dark couldn't be considered the fastest gossip-seeker; several others who were closer had already arrived at the destination.
Little Eevee poked its head out to peek for a while, only to be suddenly picked up by someone!
"Eevee!"
Before it could even turn around, it was pinned by something strange.
"A Familiar I've never seen before... eh? It's actually a Magic Spirit?"
Eevee-chan was just about to resist when it suddenly felt an intimidating aura and immediately cowered.
Once the intelligence was high, it knew how to assess the situation.
So, when Dark finally arrived, he saw his own Magic Spirit being held in the arms of Senior Pandora.
He wiped away a cold sweat and raised his Magitech Card.
"Bui-bui--"
Being manhandled into a disheveled state, Eevee-chan hurriedly called for help.
Dark ignored Senior Pandora's gaze and directly recalled Eevee back into the Magitech Card.
Then, pretending nothing had happened, he asked, "Senior, what happened?"
Pandora then glanced toward the scene and said, "It's nothing major."
It was indeed nothing major.
It was just a first-year student who had been tied to a pillar using Tortoise Shell Binding.
The person who pulled the prank had clearly shown mercy and hadn't taken off her clothes.
He had simply written the character "Righteous" on her forehead.
It was likely a sign that righteousness would endure forever!
The student who had been screaming was also found.
It was a young girl from the Noble House standing nearby, currently surrounded by others and clearly shaken.
One could guess that this sheltered young lady was seeing such an unsightly scene for the first time in her life!
Dark's expression shifted slightly after just one glance, and he squeezed through the crowd, striding out.
There were almost no first-years around, so no one recognized that the ugly girl tied to the pillar and sleeping like a dead pig was actually Robert Broheim!
Despite the inexplicable gender swap, the facial features belonging to Robert were still very distinct.
Connecting this to the fact that Victor had appeared in the hallway early in the morning, it was undoubtedly because he was searching for the missing Robert.
Dark didn't have any strong ill will toward Robert.
Since they were classmates who had attended the same lectures, he would help if he could.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one had recognized Robert's face yet, Dark quickly took off his coat and covered her head with it.
Robert was still asleep, clearly having been fed a Magic Potion for hypnosis or hit with a similar skill.
Because the ropes used for binding were tied in slipknots, it took Dark quite a bit of effort to untie them.
By this time, more first-years had joined the crowd, but they were all huddled in the back, watching.
The upperclassmen seemed to think this level of prank was commonplace.
The first-years, however, were a bit timid.
Besides, someone was already busy dealing with it, wasn't there?
"Do you need my help?"
Senior Pandora pointed at Robert's head.
Dark was in the middle of coiling up the rope and replied immediately, "No need."
If Robert were to wake up right now, there was no telling what kind of chaos might ensue.
One really couldn't count on the intelligence of some people.
It was more reliable to just take her to the infirmary like this.
Fortunately, the infirmary was not far from here.
After Senior Pandora helped disperse the crowd, Dark arrived at the infirmary without any trouble.
The school doctor at St. Marian was a nun, rumored to have once been a high-ranking nun directly under the Holy Church. However, she had been expelled for violating the commandments and had come to work at St. Marian.
As for exactly what commandments she had violated?
One could only say that opinions varied widely.
"Is Sister Callian in?"
Dark pushed the door open while supporting Robert.
The door wasn't locked, but it seemed empty inside?
Dark had no choice but to move Robert to a hospital bed first.
The infirmary didn't have the medicinal smell typical of ordinary hospitals and was well-ventilated, which was a comforting point.
However, for some reason, a Snake Kiss Whip hung on the snow-white wall; the whip's body looked like it was covered in densely packed scales, which made one feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Morning."
The white sheet on the adjacent hospital bed was suddenly lifted, and Sister Callian, her hair looking somewhat disheveled, poked her head out.
Dark was startled and instinctively asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"I am the school doctor you are looking for."
Sister Callian slowly pulled back the curtain and walked out.
She seemed to have just woken up, yawning from time to time, and her white lab coat was only buttoned in the middle, revealing a leather inner...
Dark quickly averted his gaze and mentally marked the infirmary as a dangerous place.
This school doctor was not right!
Very not right!
Since class time was approaching, Dark said concisely, "This is my classmate, Robert Broheim from the first-year Knight Academy. When I found him, he was tied to a pillar..."
"Hmm, it's a Goodnight Potion," Sister Callian said after merely taking a sniff. "It's nothing serious; he'll likely wake up after sleeping for another two hours."
Dark Demon asked in confusion, "A Goodnight Potion, is that the kind used to help with sleep?"
Sister Callian reached up to tuck a strand of silver-white hair behind her ear and smiled. "That's right. Every year, a few unlucky souls who oversleep are brought to me, and some of them are even happy when they wake up."
Dark Demon: "Why?"
Sister Callian: "They don't have to attend class and won't have points deducted, isn't that something worth being happy about?"
Dark Demon: "..."
No wonder you got fired!
Dark Demon pointed at Robert and said helplessly, "If it were just that, it would be fine, but the problem lies elsewhere."
Sister Callian: "What problem?"
Dark Demon: "He's a boy."

Chapter 64 Dark Demon Promotes Truth, Goodness, and Beauty
Sister Callian coughed three times in a row to express her shock.
She lowered her head to observe carefully.
