The Villainous Young Master Just Wants to Live a Laid-Back Life

Chapter 7: Dark de Mont's Familiar is Seriously Problematic

When Professor Sarah mentioned the Wishing Cup, both the seemingly calm Noble House freshmen and the boisterous Knight House freshmen couldn't help but start chattering.

Robert, who had just embarrassed himself, learned absolutely nothing from it. His voice, the loudest in the Knight House, rose in excitement until his neck turned red again!

"Victor, Victor, did you hear what Professor Sarah said? If we can get the Wishing Cup, each of us can make a wish!"

"Don't get too excited, Red-Neck Robert. The professor said it offers a chance to make a wish, not that it will grant wishes," Victor, though also excited, was clearly thinking more clearly.

On the other side, Diana was the voice of the Noble House. She was excitedly exclaiming to Rose, and then, feeling it wasn't enough, she jumped over to Dark and said, "If we get the Wishing Cup, I'm going to wish for a chocolate wall, candy lights, gummy bear bed, cake roof, cookie carpet, pudding cushions super candy house! And it has to be this big!"

Watching Diana happily describe her dream candy house, Dark almost got caught up in her enthusiasm…

Seeing that [Greed +1] didn't appear in his vision, Dark secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he smiled and reminded her, "Diana, the greedy are left with nothing."

If the Wishing Cup could truly grant any wish, it wouldn't be placed in Saint Marian Academy for students to compete for.

Judging from the inscription on the Wishing Cup, the wishes it could grant were likely trivial matters.

Otherwise, Dark would definitely wish to "eradicate the Demon God bloodline" directly!

And make that damn system disappear as soon as possible!

…

This time, Professor Sarah didn't use a [Silence Card]. Instead, she waited for the freshmen's chatter to gradually subside before lightly tapping on the desk and saying, "Besides determining the ownership of the Academy Cup, academic credits are also the hard currency of Saint Marian. With academic credits, you can purchase anything you desire on Traveler's Street, or trade with any teacher or student in Saint Marian. Of course, every transaction you make will be recorded by your House Card. Only credits obtained through legitimate transactions will be recognized by the academy. Finally, does anyone know how to earn academic credits?"

Professor Sarah placed her hands on the lectern, her gaze sweeping seriously across the classroom.

As a half-elf, Professor Sarah inherited the ethereal beauty and long lifespan of elves. Her appearance showed absolutely no trace of age.

Although she always looked serious, she occasionally revealed a gentler expression in private.

— This, in fact, became her selling point.

In Duel! Saint Marian Super XX Academy, Professor Sarah was the most popular professor among players.

Of course, she was also a romanceable character.

If she hadn't displayed such a serious and rigid image right from the start, thus lowering certain favorability points, Dark is primal force might have erupted again.

At that point, it wouldn't just be a question of whether to attend class or not, but whether to keep his life =.=!

Facing Professor Sarah is question, the freshmen from both houses were surprisingly unresponsive. It seemed they, like Dark, hadn't really read the school rules.

After a good while, a student finally raised her hand.

Professor Sarah glanced over and directly called out her name, "Emma Metis, please answer."

Emma Metis was a small girl with brown hair and a round, somewhat childish face. She seemed to be developing slower than her peers, but she was taller than Diana.

She stood up a little nervously, accidentally biting her tongue, but managed to answer fairly smoothly, "The simplest way to earn credits is to attend classes diligently. Each class earns 10 credits. If you can answer the professor's questions correctly, or satisfy the professor, you can also get extra points. Also, the results of the final exams can be converted into credits, and... um, and magic duels!"

"Excellent, Metis, 5 points added!"

Professor Sarah clapped her hands, signaling her to sit down, and then continued to add, "Correctly answering questions in class can earn extra points, but if you don't pay attention in class, the lecturer also has the right to deduct corresponding credits. In addition, magic duel competitions are highly valued in Saint Marian, and they can bring a large number of credits to each house! As for how to participate in duel competitions, your dueling class teacher will tell you. Now, let's officially begin the lesson. Open your Elementary Summoning Guide."

…

"Miss Know-It-All, huh?"

Dark glanced at Emma's back again, realizing that she should be the last member of the protagonist trio.

However, Emma's fluffy brown hair and the lingering baby fat on her face didn't pique his interest.

Dark neither wanted to have contact with them, nor did he feel the need to specifically avoid them.

Especially since this female protagonist's appearance didn't hit his sweet spot.

Next, Professor Sarah began teaching the most basic summoning technique.

Summoning technique was a technique based on magic cards, capable of summoning spirits, items, potions, and all sorts of things sealed within magic cards.

It was said that at deeper levels, there were also various summoning arts such as sacrifice summoning, fusion summoning, ritual summoning, and reverse summoning.

Some magic cards even came with special summoning incantations!

Proficiency in summoning technique determined how many magic cards a duelist could use within the same timeframe.

In short, if it took you 5 seconds to cast a summoning technique, while your opponent only needed 3 seconds, they could attack 2 seconds earlier than you.

If your summoning technique cooldown was 30 seconds, you might not even be able to use a third magic card within a minute.

The famous dueling master Swiss Lusin once said, "Summoning technique determines a duelist's upper and lower limits."

And the learning task for this lesson was to use summoning technique to summon the familiar sealed within their House Cards.

Professor Sarah spent half an hour explaining the school rules, another half hour teaching the preliminary theory of summoning technique, and finally left half an hour for students to experiment.

After confirming that the [Greed] index hadn't increased, Dark followed the steps in the textbook to attempt summoning.

Because he had previewed in the common room in the morning, his progress was faster than almost all the other freshmen.

And because the House Card itself was a beginner's item, the summoning activation settings were even easier than ordinary magic cards.

So, at a few minutes past nine o'clock, Dark successfully summoned the familiar within his House Card!

The House Card was a composite magic card, very special, with very powerful built-in functions.

Because the final step of making the House Card was completed by the students themselves, each student summoned a different familiar using their House Card.

"In the name of Dark de Mont, Familiar Summon!"

The House Card adopted a special summoning incantation to reduce the difficulty of summoning.

As Dark correctly recited the incantation, the magic power within his body surged along his fingertips into the House Card.

The House Card then erupted with a dazzling, daylight-bright radiance, attracting countless gazes.

Emma, who had also previewed but failed several summoning attempts, couldn't help but look over.

Under the white light, Dark is fair face, handsome features, and calm eyes left a deep impression on Emma.

She gritted her teeth, not even looking at what Dark had summoned, and quickly flipped through the textbook, searching for mistakes, and re-attempted summoning!

Her competitive spirit was on full display.

…

But Dark was not at ease at this moment.

He suddenly realized that the magic power was surging out faster and faster, as if the House Card was actively absorbing his magic power!

The magic power that had increased due to the Demon God bloodline's awakening phase was almost completely drained.

At this moment, a six-pointed star magic circle suddenly appeared on the House Card!

"This is..."

Looking at the familiar he had summoned using the House Card, Dark felt that there was a big problem.

It was a small demon in the shape of a bat.

And, not just any ordinary small demon!
