The Villain Young Master Just Wants to Live a Buddhist Life 50

The girl lying on the hospital bed did indeed have somewhat masculine features. However, she clearly lacked an Adam's apple, and her physical development was quite complete, perhaps even bordering on precocious.

If not for the student beside her pointing out the girl's true gender, Sister Callian would never have guessed in a million years that she was actually a boy.

"Are you certain?"

She couldn't help but turn back to ask.

Dark wore a look of pity and nodded, saying, "I believe so."

It wasn't as if Robert's twin sister would just suddenly pop up among the first-year students, right?

"Then this is troublesome!" Sister Callian took a breath. "In the last two years, even the most excessive pranks only involved turning people into pigs. I never expected there to be something even more excessive than that."

"Turned into a pig!!"

Dark couldn't judge which was worse: being turned into a pig or being turned into the opposite sex.

But Sister Callian clearly felt the latter was far more egregious.

However, since even being turned into a pig could be cured, surely changing back from a woman should be a simple matter?

With this thought in mind, Dark asked, "Can it be cured?"

Sister Callian pulled a pair of crumpled white rubber gloves from her pocket, put them on, and said solemnly, "Gender transformation is, at its core, a form of Transfiguration. It shares common ground with turning people into pigs, sheep, or toads. Theoretically, none of these are permanent; even if left alone, they will automatically wear off after a certain amount of time. Of course, one shouldn't make hasty judgments before a proper diagnosis. Sylph, tracing the root cause is not within my jurisdiction."

"Professor Sylph...?"

As a breeze stirred, Dark turned his head and saw that Professor Sylph was already standing silently behind him.

With an incident like this, the professors would naturally not ignore it.

Professor Sylph said sternly, "You go to class first. I have already notified Professor Jones."

"Understood, Professor."

Dark bowed and exited the infirmary.

Professional matters should naturally be left to the professionals.

There was no need for him to worry about it anymore.

"Hey, Dimon."

"Good morning, Gaude."

On the way to the classroom, Dark ran into Victor.

Victor looked quite dejected, his face drooping as he greeted him.

He asked casually, without much hope, "Dimon, have you seen Robert? I mean, Broheim."

Dark said quite calmly, "If you are looking for Broheim, you can go to the infirmary. Of course, I wouldn't recommend going right now; after all, class is about to start."

Victor immediately perked up. "Is he in the infirmary? Is he alright? He must have had diarrhea, right? This kid, he gave me quite the chase!"

Dark gave him a strange look. "Perhaps."

It was better to keep such embarrassing matters confidential.

"Then it's fine," Victor said. "By the way, Dimon... Dimon? Hey, walk slower, I'm exhausted, I didn't even eat breakfast!"

By the time Dark reached the classroom, he found that the news of a girl being pranked had already spread.

But fortunately, no one yet knew that the "girl" in question was Robert, otherwise the Little Magisters would surely have been in an uproar.

The students didn't notice Robert's absence, and Professor Jones arrived at the classroom as usual.

She didn't mention anything extra and went straight into the lecture.

This lesson focused on the Attribute Counter-Chart between Magic Spirits.

There were twenty attributes in total, with only Light and Dark existing independently of the other eighteen.

"Every substance has both light and dark aspects. They do not entangle with other attributes and only exist in opposition to each other. Of course, some Ghost-type Magic Spirits detest light. But in reality, that is a biological aversion, not an energy-based attribute counter."

"What we call an energy-based attribute counter refers to a win-loss relationship between pure energies that is, to a certain extent, detached from physical connections. It is a relationship summarized through empirical science."

"For example, Ice counters Dragon."

Professor Jones shrugged.

"God knows why the Ice attribute counters the Dragon attribute. Is it because dragons are cold-blooded animals?"

The class was actually quite interesting.

Professor Jones frequently called students up to the podium to summon Magic Spirits for demonstrations, which led to quite a few amusing moments.

But when Professor Jones demanded that the students copy the Attribute Counter-Chart ten times after class, memorize it, and prepare for a spot check in the next lesson, it became much less fun.

Even until the end of class, no one had noticed that Robert was missing.

"Ring-a-ling."

As soon as the bell rang, Victor rushed out of the classroom.

Although Dark Demon felt that Robert likely didn't want Victor to visit him, he had no reason to stop him.

The second period was Arithmetic Class.

Professor Lily appeared at the back door and beckoned to Dark Demon.

Dark Demon put down his textbook and followed the professor out for a moment.

The two turned into a deserted corner, and Professor Lily patted Dark Demon on the shoulder with a look of gratification: "Well done, you truly are the student I have always thought highly of."

Dark Demon: "..."

Professor Lily continued excitedly: "I have already heard about it, and your handling of the situation was excellent. Although Broheim is a troublesome child, it would be too miserable if he had to carry a shadow from his first year. Now, no one knows his true identity, and we will treat the entire incident as a common prank."

Dark Demon asked with concern: "What about the culprit... I mean, who did it?"

Professor Lily: "Broheim has already woken up and said that while he was wandering at night, he was suddenly knocked down. He didn't see anything."

She changed the subject and added: "However, you don't need to worry about this; the professors will handle it properly. Also, Professor Kazel asked me to pass on a message for him, saying that the matter you entrusted to him has been resolved. By the way, what did you ask him for?"

Dark Demon's expression stiffened, and after a long pause, he said: "Nothing, just a verification question for a small experiment."

It seemed Professor Kazel hadn't told the other professors about the Flower Card?

But if he didn't want people to know, why send a message?

Dark Demon was still pondering this when he returned to the classroom.

Just as class was about to begin.

Victor returned in high spirits, accompanied by a recovered Robert.

"Robert, I'm glad you're okay."

"It was just an upset stomach, don't be so loud..."

Dark Demon glanced over there and happened to make eye contact with Robert.

Robert immediately put on a pleading expression.

Dark Demon quietly gave a thumbs-up and winked.

Robert nodded gratefully.

Victor sensed something was off: "Robert, what's wrong with you?"

Robert: "Nothing, a mosquito just bit me on the corner of my eye."

Victor: "A mosquito? Why didn't I get bitten?"

Robert: "Maybe my flesh is tastier?"

Victor: "Haha."

During this class, Professor Lily taught the "Multiplication Table" she had squeezed out of Dark Demon.

Of course, multiplication existed in this world, but because education had not been popularized in the past, a downward-reaching system had not been formed. Calculation methods convenient for beginners, such as "long multiplication" and the "Multiplication Table," had not been invented.

In short, after this class.

Even while walking on the road, Dark Demon could hear the Little Magisters shaking their heads and reciting: "One times one is one, one times two is two..."

Chapter 65 Dark Demon Seeks True Knowledge

Robert, having just suffered a loss, became very well-behaved.

And without Robert's instigation, Victor stopped causing trouble.

The afternoon History of Magic passed peacefully amidst the drowsiness of the Little Magisters.

After class, Dark Demon did not head to the library as usual, but went straight to Professor Kazel's office.

He hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door.

"Knock."

"Come in."

Professor Kazel's voice came from inside the office.

Dark Demon turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

Professor Kazel was sitting behind his desk, which was piled with a large amount of homework, though it clearly wasn't from the first-year students.

"Demon? You've come at the right time."

Professor Kazel put down his pen and hopped off his high stool.

Dark Demon asked: "Professor, have there been results from the research on the Flower Card?"

"That's right." Professor Kazel opened a drawer, pulled out a Flower Card, and waved it at Dark Demon.

Like a child showing off a new toy.

Dark couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle, then he closed the door and walked quickly behind the desk.

Professor Kazel handed him the card and said proudly, "Come on, try injecting some magic power into it."

Dark first picked it up to observe it carefully.

This Flower Card was not the original Green Rose that Professor Kazel had, but another one from who knows where.

"A student gave it to me," Professor Kazel joked.

Dark blinked, and Professor Kazel sighed helplessly, "Fine, someone was playing with it in class, so I confiscated it. Anyway, don't worry about its origin; this is a piece I carefully crafted last night."

The face of the Flower Card depicted a pinkish-purple Butterfly Orchid, a type of orchid with petals resembling butterfly wings, whose flower language is "I love you," symbolizing noble and elegant love.

Dark injected a trace of magic power into it, and the Butterfly Orchid on the card face transformed into lifelike butterflies—not Butterfly Orchids, but actual butterflies!

The pink and purple butterflies fluttered their wings and danced gracefully.

Dark merely waved the Flower Card, and they seemed to be drawn to it, circling around his card.

Specks of pollen-like fluorescence leaked from the tails of the butterflies, as if they were trailing long tails behind them.

It was stunning even in the daylight, let alone in the pitch-black night where you couldn't see your own hand.

Dark asked in surprise, "Professor, how did you do this?"

Professor Kazel smiled, "Just a little trick. This doesn't count as a Magitech Card, so if you like it, you can take it. It shares the same origin as the Flower Cards and might guide you to the source. There are many secrets in the academy, and in principle, we encourage students to explore them on their own. Of course, don't forget the midnight curfew."

Dark left the office with a hint of doubt.

Professor Kazel's words didn't actually make him feel all that great.

Could it be that he has already investigated it and confirmed there is no danger? Or perhaps... he has already dealt with the danger?
