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

Chapter 8: Dark Daemon Deeply Understands the Way of Balancing Work and Rest

DemiDevimon.

"Is that a Daemon type?"

Professor Sarah had somehow appeared beside Dark without him noticing. The unique fragrance of the Elven race wafted into his nostrils, causing a slight itch in his heart.

Dark inhaled slightly and asked, puzzled, "Professor, hasn't the era of the Demon race passed? Why am I still able to summon a Daemon type?"

Professor Sarah explained in an extremely calm tone, "The familiar of the House card is merely a type of Magical Spirit, and strictly speaking, it belongs to alchemical products. It's just like a golem, not a true living being. The so-called 'Daemon type' is just a classification of Magical Spirits, not to say it is actually a Daemon. As a Magician, you must learn to discern reality, explore truth, and not be deceived by appearances. As for why you summoned a Daemon type, it's related to your magic power, knowledge, and personality. Furthermore, the technology of Magical Spirits is actually not perfect, and many things cannot yet be explained."

The surrounding freshmen nodded as if they understood, yet remained unenlightened.

Only Dark asked very seriously, "Then Professor, what is my familiar's name?"

Professor Sarah said sternly, "That will be your homework assignment. Before the next Summoning class, successfully summon your own familiar, and research its type, name, and characteristics, and write a report of about 300 words for me. Alright, Daemon, 5 points!"

With that, Professor Sarah walked towards another student.

Dark watched her back, suspecting that she simply didn't know the name of this Daemon type at all.

After all, this thing was DemiDevimon!

Duel! Saint Marian Super XX Academy truly lived up to its name as an ultimate patchwork monstrosity, even Digimon was borrowed (copied) and referenced (plagiarized)!

Although he knew early on that this game was a hodgepodge, it shouldn't be directly copied like this, right?

Dark felt a headache coming on.

DemiDevimon seemed to be able to evolve into Myotismon?

The evolutionary branches of Digimon were too numerous and messy, he couldn't quite remember them clearly.

However, the familiars of the House card should belong to the lower-tier Magical Spirits. Their main purpose was to help their masters transmit messages or send and receive letters, taking on the role of "owls."

According to the Magician's explanation, the intelligence level of familiars was 2.5, slightly lower than ordinary beasts, and harmless.

Dark teased DemiDevimon is head and found that its reactions were still somewhat sluggish, perhaps because it had just been born?

DemiDevimon is body was round and chubby, with bat-like wings and three-fingered claws. A white skull was imprinted on its forehead, and looking at it for too long, it was even a bit ugly-cute.

The key was that it had wings and could fly, making it a more suitable type to be a familiar!

Dark quickly accepted the fact that he had summoned DemiDevimon. After all, the Daemon of a Demon God, wouldn't it be a little Daemon?

...

Next, Dark began to glance around randomly.

To put it nicely, it was called observing the progress of his classmates, but in reality, it was "daydreaming"!

Unknowingly, he had been seriously attending class for over an hour. If he didn't take a break to relax, wouldn't he be in trouble?

An idea gradually formed in Dark's mind.

Then, he suddenly realized!

Being too engrossed in studying would lead to triggering the [Greed]index, so if he took more breaks from studying and achieved a "balance between work and rest," wouldn't that be the perfect solution?

Bingo!

Dark promptly suppressed his feeling of "triumph," not allowing it to evolve into "Pride."

Perhaps because he was setting an example, the freshmen became more proactive in learning Summoning Arts.

Finally, Miss Know-It-All was the second to successfully summon her familiar!

...

The moment Emma Metis successfully summoned her familiar, she didn't immediately observe what kind of creature it was, but subconsciously turned her head to look at the corner position at the back of the classroom.

Her eyes clearly carried a hint of rivalry, as if wanting to say, "Look, I succeeded too!"

However, Dark's gaze merely brushed against hers and passed by, seemingly not caring about her at all.

Emma turned her head back, feeling a little unhappy.

But the small familiar crouching on her desk quickly brought a smile back to her face.

It was a tiny otter with snow-white fur.

Whether it was its bean-sized eyes, or its short limbs, or its timid posture of rubbing its face and squeaking "Eek, eek," it deeply struck the cute spot in the young girl's heart!

...

"As expected, it's an otter?"

Dark had long anticipated this.

Otters are sharp and alert, with strong curiosity, and they are also the guardian spirit of Miss Know-It-All in the original story.

Naturally, it was the most likely option.

"Then Robert's familiar should be a hound, and Vitte's familiar should be a stag?"

Dark glanced over there, but found that Robert and Vitte were both scratching their heads in frustration. Their progress was clearly not going smoothly.

In fact, freshmen from the Noble House generally summoned their familiars faster than freshmen from the Knight House.

This was the advantage of pre-school education.

"Wow!"

An overly surprised cry attracted Dark's attention.

He discovered that Diana had also successfully summoned her familiar before the end of class!

It was an Iron-Eating Beast with a round head and a round body!

The panda, only the size of a doll, lay on the desk, its eyes still drowsy, looking adorably silly.

"A familiar that really matches her perfectly…"

Dark couldn't help but cover his eyes.

The Gretelbear Family, the dignified Kingdom's Bear, how could such a simpleton have emerged?

Well, okay.

Pandas are also bears!

Diana, however, was clearly extremely satisfied with her familiar, even directly lifting it above her head and spinning it around wildly, until Professor Sarah glared at her, and she quickly restrained herself.

Rose, the only one who hadn't summoned a familiar, couldn't help but become anxious.

...

The second class in the morning was Magic Theory.

If Summoning Arts was the method of using Magic Cards.

Then Magic Theory was the basic theory for making Magic Cards.

And the corresponding Duel Class, was combat practice!

Students were forbidden from summoning familiars in the academy corridors, but there were still people who disobeyed the rules, carrying their familiars and running around everywhere.

Dark ignored those people and went to the Magic Theory classroom ahead of time.

The break between classes was a full half hour. Lazy people wasted time, diligent people had already begun to preview the material.

In order not to be judged as [Lazy], Dark took out the Magic Theory textbook – Basic Magic Theory 1 – and flipped through it, not too seriously.

Therefore, when Emma Metis rushed into the classroom, she saw someone sitting in the last row by the window, diligently and earnestly studying.

This really didn't seem like something someone from the Noble House would do.

Normally, someone like that should go to the Magic Academy instead!

Emma muttered such things and found a seat in the first row, also taking out her textbook to preview.

Dark glanced at Emma in the front row on the right, but in his mind he was thinking about whether there were any Magic Cards that could alleviate his current predicament?

He wasn't asking to eradicate the Demon God bloodline, only to absorb some negative emotions, or to calm one's mind.
