It certainly couldn't be Dark's fault.
Dac has been lenient enough!
No matter where you put it, there's nothing to say about this!
Then it can only be their own fault.
Not doing homework, yelling in class.
I scratched my scalp raw!
……
"Sorry, it's all my fault."
In a corner, Robert said painfully.
As Victor leaned against the wall, lost in thought, he casually said, "It's alright, Robert, let's go find someone to borrow five cents."
Previously, Robert was the one comforting him, but now it's the other way around.
Witt wasn't that angry.
The key point is that Robert came to his senses in the end and didn't expose the matter.
Otherwise, we don't know if Emma is alright, but they definitely are!
Being made an example of and hung on Saint Marian's pillar of shame for six whole years is not something a minor mage could bear.
In this matter, they are not simply victims.
Once exposed, the protagonist in the story that Dark told might change from the so-called "millionaire Jamie" to "the brave son Victor and his friends"!
Thinking back to how popular I was when school started.
In just one month, he has become a despised debtor.
Witt felt a pang of disappointment.
"If I've been studying diligently since the start of the semester, will I be the one standing on the podium, instead of Dimon?"
……
Things did not go as Witt had hoped.
They couldn't borrow money last night, so how could it be an accident at noon today?
Whether the first-graders realized the importance of arithmetic after listening to Dak's story is unknown, but they definitely realized the importance of credits!
So they've become even more focused on academic credits!
Witt and Robert couldn't bring themselves to actually ask for help or directly explain their reasons.
Frequent borrowing of money only makes them more annoying!
……
At 12:45, Witt did some calculations.
In fifteen minutes, the debt will double, from 80 to 160.
They only have 75 points, so they need 85 more!
There are only three classes left before the next deadline.
You're guaranteed at least 60 points from these three lessons. To accumulate enough credits in these three lessons, you'll need to earn an extra 25 credits!
Witt remained silent for a moment, then said, "Robert, let's study hard!"
Robert covered his mouth: "But Witt, have you done your history of magic homework?"
Witt: “…”
……
Professor Lily's office.
"Come on, drink this bowl of hangover soup, and forget all the past!"
"No, no! Be gentle, it's going to leak out! Glug-It tastes so bitter-Waaah!"
Dak put the empty hangover soup on the table and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Professor Lily is not just a professor for first-year students.
If I don't wake her up at noon, I might be forced to substitute teach in the classrooms of older students!
When the time comes, we can't exactly talk about calculus or quantum mathematics, can we?
Perhaps teaching some geometry would be a good idea?
The worst thing is if this kind of teaching fosters a sense of superiority, then we're doomed.
In short, thanks to Little Devimon's influence, the special hangover soup obtained from the halfling chefs was a bit bitter, but its effects were exceptionally remarkable.
Professor Lily sat up dejectedly, her coat slipping off to reveal her smooth, jade-like shoulders and collarbone.
Darke grabbed his coat back and then, not giving Professor Lily a chance to cheat, said, "Professor, I have class to teach, so I won't bother you any longer. Also, I've already explained all of last week's homework. (^_^)/--886."
"boom!"
……
The afternoon's history of magic finally went without any mishaps.
Professor Didi continued reading from his lesson preparation materials as always, occasionally picking one or two students to answer questions.
In general, as long as you don't fall asleep in this class, it's virtually impossible to lose points.
As soon as get out of class ended, the two rushed to the library.
They have never been this enthusiastic since the start of the school year.
Wednesday morning's two classes are Potions and Summoning, and it's really hard to earn an extra 25 points in those two classes.
They have to perform better than Dark and Emma!
……
Emma entered the library a step later and just in time to see the two figures disappearing in a hurry.
"Has it started yet?"
She muttered something under her breath, then turned and entered the reading room from another direction, walking to her usual seat.
After she sat down, she took out a thick book of "Records of Historical Figures and Legends" from her bag and turned to the page with the bookmark.
On the left is a portrait, and on the right is the legend of this person.
After reading the account again, Emma couldn't help but mutter to herself, "I never expected that what Dimon told me today would be so similar to this story."
……
Chapter 32 Emma Metis is not a real creditor
Emma borrowed the book from the library the night before Traveller Street opened.
Reading historical biographies and listening to the voice of history are among her few hobbies.
This book, "Records of Historical Figures and Legends," is more entertainment-oriented, containing many amusing stories that seem plausible but are not.
This page records a story about Amijid, the inventor of the Magic Chess game.
Legend has it that long ago, Amijid invented the first version of Magic Chess with a 64-square board, which was loved by the king at the time, so the king decided to reward Amijid handsomely.
The king asked him what he wanted, and he replied, "Your Majesty, I only want some wheat. Please have someone place the wheat on the chessboard I invented, one grain on the first square, two grains on the second, four grains on the third, eight grains on the fourth, sixteen grains on the fifth, and so on, doubling the number of grains on each square until all sixty-four squares are filled!"
Let's set aside the question of how big a chessboard would need to hold so much rice.
In short, the rest of the story is exactly the same as the ending of Dak's "The Millionaire Goes Bankrupt".
The king eventually discovered that even if he gave everything he had, he could not fill the sixty-four squares of the chessboard!
Emma was inspired by this story.
She never expected that Witt and Robert would be in such a bad state that they couldn't even get basic grades in class, despite knowing about the debt crisis!
Her performance, especially in arithmetic class, simply exceeded her expectations!
……
At first, Emma was simply fed up with the constant pestering and indignant at the hero's son's depravity, wanting to teach them a lesson. It would be even better if they understood the importance of academic credits and were motivated to study.
Things have turned out this way in a way that she never expected.
As for so-called loans, the school rules clearly stipulate that credit loans exceeding 10 times the principal are invalid and not recognized.
In other words, the contract was completely void after 1 p.m. on Monday.
Witt and Robert only need to repay a small portion of the principal—5 credits!
As for the fact that the two of them had never even read the school rules...
Emma felt it had nothing to do with her.
Anyway, the moment she gave up the credits, she never thought about getting them back.
But she wasn't kind enough to warn the two of them.
Emma couldn't help but feel a little amusement watching those two annoying people toiling away for a non-existent "huge debt".
It can only be said that this is the nature of human beings; she is not purely good or beautiful.
But now it seems things are moving in a positive direction—they've never been to the library this early before!
……
the other side.
Darko Dimon, however, was already in the laboratory.
After borrowing the key from Professor Cazell, he immediately went into the laboratory.
Having built up his "arrogance" for three days, Dark was eager to put it to the test.
The third drop of "arrogance" was extracted in the laboratory and did not cause him much trouble.
The production of "Pride 1" is already quite familiar.
Dak first extracted today's "pride" and dripped it into the "thinking bottle" to mix with the "pride" from the previous two days. Then he sealed the bottle and shook it gently to ensure that the "pride" from the three periods was evenly mixed.
Soon, a faint, almost invisible dark gold color appeared inside the bottle.
Two minutes later, he borrowed some basic materials from the experimental cabinet and began to brew an auxiliary potion called "brain juice".
Applying this potion to the magic card beforehand can subtly alter the surface properties of the card, making it easier for emotions and other mental substances to adhere to it.
This can be considered one of the gains that Dak has made from reading books these past few days.
After the "brain juice" is successfully cooked, it becomes a liquid that resembles egg white and has a slightly sour taste.
Next, the process involves simmering a paste that acts as a "sealing agent."
Once the "sealing liquid" was ready, it was finally time for the official production of the magic cards.
Number of blank magic cards remaining: 2.
One of them was bought, and the other was left over from the magic class.
Dak selected one of the sheets, spread it out on the lab table, and evenly coated it with "brain juice".
Then he took a breath, allowing his emotions to gradually calm down, and his fingers stopped trembling.
The "mind bottle" has a water film on the bottom third of the bottle opening to prevent the loss of mental substances such as memory.
Carefully insert the magic dropper into the membrane. Be especially careful the first time you insert it, and do not puncture it.
Once the tip of the magic brain dropper is inserted into the appropriate position, gently squeeze the magic brain and then release it.
After several repetitions, the magic dropper emitted a scream.
Dak stopped pressing, pulled out the magic brain dropper, pressed the tip of the magic brain dropper against the blank magic card, and squeezed the magic brain hard!
The bit of "arrogance" stored in the demon's brain was then released!
The "brain juice" worked its magic, and "arrogance" spread like ink in water.
