Chapter 23: Dark Demon's Cat Climbs into the Box Too
"Alright! Let's start class now."
Professor Kazell walked to the center of the podium after the bell rang.
He looked at the students in the classroom, who were like lambs bleating for milk, and couldn't help but reveal a smile as warm as the sunshine.
"I believe you students have already heard some things from the upperclassmen. Just as you thought, today's Demonology class will enter the practical stage, which is the first production of Demon Spirit Cards!"
…
"Awoo!"
Whether they were students from the Noble Academy or the Knight Academy, they were all excitedly howling.
They had been at Saint Marian for a month, and only now were they starting to create their first Demon Spirit Card in their lives!
The students had long been impatient and were inevitably excited.
Of course, if it were Professor Sarah's class, they wouldn't dare to be so noisy...
Professor Kazell gave them two minutes to calm down, and then continued with a smile:
"Excitement is good, but don't relax in class because of it. Today's class is of profound significance for every little mage. The first Demon Spirit of a mage's life often becomes a close companion that accompanies you for life."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a Demon Spirit Card flashing with a hint of light appeared between his thumb and forefinger.
Then, without chanting any spells, a Demon Spirit with snow-white wings, small pointed horns on its forehead, and golden eyes like a kitten naturally emerged from the Demon Spirit Card.
"This is my initial spirit, the Snow Winged Golden-Eyed Beast."
"Professor!"
A girl from the Knight Academy suddenly raised her hand to ask a question.
Professor Kazell nodded, and the girl continued to ask, "Is our topic today this Snow Winged Golden-Eyed Beast?"
Professor Kazell said humorously, "Of course not, it seems the upperclassmen didn't spoil too much. Our topic today is the Phantasm Beast!"
…
"Phantasm Beast?"
Dark is hand flipping through the textbook suddenly stopped.
The students also began to whisper to each other.
The so-called Phantasm Beast was a shapeless phantom beast, legendary for being ethereal, elusive, and even invisible to the naked eye!
"No way? (๑°ㅁ°๑)‼"
Diana asked blankly, "Doesn't the book say that Phantasm Beasts are phantom beasts invisible to the human eye?"
Professor Kazell said with a smile, "The root form of the Phantasm Beast is indeed invisible to the naked eye. But as long as we do some tricks, we can make it visible, and this is what a mage does. Alright, put your textbooks aside, what I'm going to teach today is not written in the book."
He wrote the words "Phantasm Beast" on the blackboard in large characters, and then in the very center, with one stroke, drew a rough outline, similar to a kitten.
"Before a Phantasm Beast is seen by someone, its form is uncertain. It can be a cat, it can be a dog, it can even be a dragon! The Phantasm Beast seen by each person may appear in completely different forms."
"But Demon Spirits are different from real phantom beasts. From the moment it is created, the mage will have a perception of it. And after being seen by the mage, it will forever be fixed in the form that the mage sees."
"As for what form it will be? It depends on the expectations deep in your heart."
"In today's class, I will explain the method of making Phantasm Beast Spirit Cards from beginning to end. And you have two sets of materials in total. If all goes well, you may even have two Phantasm Beasts. If you fail... of course, you will have nothing!"
…
As soon as the words fell, the small discussions that were still present in the classroom suddenly disappeared.
Even Virt and Robert couldn't help but tense up.
And selectively forgot their current biggest troubles.
Professor Kazell no longer quoted classics or told legends in this class. He very meticulously explained the steps of making Phantasm Beast Spirit Cards one by one and wrote them all on the blackboard.
After about half an hour, all the key points were explained.
The remaining hour of the lesson was for the students to make them themselves.
This was their first time making Demon Spirit Cards, and it was bound to be unsuccessful.
The reason for preparing two sets of materials was to give them a chance to learn from their mistakes.
Professor Kazell walked down the podium and carefully observed.
…
In the corner by the window in the last row of the classroom.
Dark had also begun to make the Phantasm Beast Spirit Card.
Professor Kazell's description of the Phantasm Beast made him think of Schrödinger's cat.
Poor cat, it's been dead for so many years, and people are still repeatedly asking whether it's dead or alive.
Because of his relatively rich experience in making magic cards, Dark started much faster than others.
He quickly followed the blackboard notes, classified and processed all the materials, cooked what needed to be cooked, sliced what needed to be sliced, and finally divided them into small dishes and placed them on the table.
The core material for making the Phantasm Beast was a transparent long hair sealed in a vacuum bag.
The label on the bag stated that it was the hair of a Phantasm Beast, but it had been specially treated before being sealed, which slightly reduced the transparency of the long hair, making it barely visible to the naked eye.
The entire material package contained only two hairs in total.
It could be seen that the hair of a real Phantasm Beast was a very precious material.
And the core refinement array for making Demon Spirit Cards was the No. 1 Refinement Array!
The No. 1 Refinement Array was also known as the "Merlin Refinement Array," created by the great mage Merlin, and finalized after generations of optimization!
High-level mages could even just slap the No. 1 Refinement Array on a statue, and rely on their vast magic power to "revive" the statue and transform it into a life form similar to a golem!
This was a refinement array that could be called a miracle, it peered not only into the Gate of Truth, but also into the most core mysteries of life!
After Merlin, no one could create such a miracle again.
Before officially starting production, Dark had also done various refinement array drawing exercises.
Only after confirming that there were no mistakes did he begin to enter the production stage.
At this time, many students had already started.
They were cooking various materials while slicing them, and adding things to the blank magic cards, wishing they could stuff everything into the magic card in one go, and then a Phantasm Beast would pop out of it...
Professor Kazell walked past these people, without saying much.
Some people just needed to experience failure before they could understand the preciousness of success.
…
Virt and Robert looked like they were cooking curry.
Diana and Rose had already learned to be obedient, and without caring about anything else, they just followed Dark is steps.
Although the progress was slower, at least they weren't messing around.
Emma's efficiency could be said to be the highest in the classroom, she had already begun to add refinement arrays to the blank magic cards.
It was just that during the production process, she would occasionally glance at the last corner of the classroom very attentively.
And Dark in the corner was finally speeding up.
