"Magic Academy!"
……
"Klein Moretti!"
"The House of Fools!"
……
As time passed, only one freshman remained who had not yet participated in the college sorting ceremony!
He became the most talked-about person in the room, enjoying the collective attention of the entire student body of St. Mary's College.
Dak couldn't help but look over.
The last freshman to take the stage had short black hair and features that weren't particularly striking, but were all above average, creating a pleasing overall appearance.
In contrast, Dark himself was the kind of handsome blond boy with every feature exquisitely refined to the extreme, and a sharp, striking presence.
As a villain who appears throughout the game, he is affectionately called "Golden Hair" by players and is said to be the older brother of "Yellow Hair".
"Witt Goddard!"
Is "white god" a homonym for something else?
Do you name your child so casually?
Dark is speechless.
Alright, this must be the original male protagonist!
……
"Gaode? Is that the Gaode from the Hero Family?"
With the arrival of Vittor Gold, the students in the hall couldn't help but start talking about it.
Compared to the Dimon family, which has always been active in the public eye, the God family disappeared after the hero's sacrifice.
Whenever someone asks, the prophets always repeat the same sentence in an exaggerated way: "Since ancient times, whenever a hero appears, it is when mankind needs him!"
So, should disaster come first, or should the brave go first?
It is the arrival of disaster that brings forth heroes.
Did the appearance of a hero cause the disaster?
Whether they are prophets or sages, they have always remained tight-lipped about this issue.
"Dark, do you think the Son of the Hero will come to our academy?" Diana asked, her eyes shining.
Not only her, but many others in the House of Nobles were also looking forward to Witt Gold joining them!
Although the Gao family keeps a low profile, they have been an aristocratic family since ancient times. Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable for them to be assigned to the Noble Academy!
"If Victor Gold also joins our academy, wouldn't the 'Twin Swords of the Kingdom' be complete?"
The students of the Noble Academy were buzzing with excitement.
However, their wishes were destined to be unfulfilled.
Dark smiled subtly as he watched the [Rage-1] flash by in his field of vision.
"It seems that if I want to, I can still do it?"
……
"Witt Goddard!"
"The Knights' Academy!"
The fireworks released by the Sorting Card formed a giant lance in the air.
Amidst the wild cheers of the Knights' Academy, Witt Gold walked toward their table.
"We have Gaode now!"
The name "Virt Gold" echoed throughout the hall, even more enthusiastically and passionately than the cheers when Dark completed the Sorting Ceremony!
【嫉妒+1】
"屮!"
【暴怒+1】
Dak quickly composed himself.
He clearly doesn't feel jealous at all, so why is his jealousy index increased by 1?
There must be something wrong with this garbage system!
Dak felt his dignity had been insulted!
……
Principal Arte's gentle voice quelled the cheers from the hall: "Freshmen, keep your Sorting Cards safe; they will guide you through the next six years of your college life!"
At St. Mary's College, the Sorting Ceremony is also a process of awarding Sorting Cards.
Every freshman receives a sorting card during the sorting ceremony.
This Sorting Card represents not only a student's identity but also the first magic card a student "makes by hand" after enrolling!
They will serve as essential props for college life, accompanying students for a total of six academic years!
Dark also looked at his Sorting Card.
As the only son of the Duke, he enrolled in school
Previously, she had naturally received higher education from a noble family, and had a basic understanding of magic, mages, and magic cards.
In the kingdom, those who receive an admission notice from St. Marian Academy are all gifted individuals with magical abilities, who are destined to become mage masters.
A mage's magic power increases with age. Repeated use of magic power will improve its quality, but it has very limited effect on increasing magic power.
Because there are no secret methods like meditation to increase magical power, humans were completely unable to defeat the naturally powerful demons in the past.
The tide of battle was turned only by the appearance of Merlin, the most powerful mage in history.
Merlin used alchemy, which involves refining and imprinting various elements such as knowledge, magic, imagination, and potions into cards, to create magic cards that transcended the times!
And they selflessly made this knowledge public!
From then on, the mages abandoned their wands and continued to create powerful magic cards, completely annihilating the demons who had fallen behind the times!
The initial Sorting Cards provided by the academy were semi-finished magic cards. Students needed to complete the final step themselves to create a complete Sorting Card.
……
Principal Arte delivered a brief closing speech, followed by drawing a magic card from the gourmet series.
With a mere wave of her hand, she laid out exquisite delicacies on all the dining tables.
Faced with countless delicious dishes that tantalized the aroma, all the students temporarily forgot about everything else and happily feasted.
Of all those people, only Dak was staring at the delicious food in front of him, frozen in place!
"Huh? Dak, you don't like this honey-glazed lamb leg? Then let Diana help you finish it off!"
Diana swiftly snatched Dak's honey-glazed roasted lamb leg.
【嫉妒+1】
Chapter 4 Darkdemon Masters the Way of Moderation
With Diana's help (gritting his teeth), Dak successfully restrained his urge to binge eat!
As for [Jealousy +1].
Dark said he doesn't understand what jealousy is at all!
He stared at the empty plate in front of him, suppressing his inner rage, his gaze sweeping over the food on the table.
Roast beef, roast chicken, lamb chops, sausage, steak, Yorkshire pudding, baked creamy potatoes, gravy, ketchup... beans!
She quietly swallowed, maintaining her elegant demeanor.
Dak scooped some beans from the large silver bowl filled with them and poured them into his plate...
"Let's start with beans! Binge eating isn't eating; eating in moderation shouldn't increase your 'binge eating' index."
As expected of the food created by Principal Arte, who was bestowed with the title of "Saint," even the ordinary stewed beans have a unique flavor.
Dak picked a bean from a pile of beans, secured it with a silver fork, sliced it with a knife, and then put the slices into his mouth one by one.
As you chew slowly, the flavor of the beans gradually spreads in your mouth, and it's damn sweet!
Dak narrowed his eyes and inserted the other half of the bean.
Sitting opposite him was another freshman from the aristocratic academy—Rose Florty—who was holding a silver spoon, scooping a large spoonful of beans from a small bowl, and stuffing the whole thing into her mouth.
Seeing her classmate across from her eating beans with such elegance, delicacy, and aristocratic grace, Rose Florty's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quietly withdrew the silver spoon that was halfway into her mouth...
Following Dak's example, Rose picked up a knife and fork and awkwardly tried to stick the beans in, but the beans always managed to escape from the knife and fork.
This made her somewhat fond of Dak, who was skilled at using a knife and fork to eat beans.
"I had always heard that the Duke's only son was a wicked and uncouth young man with no aristocratic manners, but I never expected that he was actually so well-mannered."
Girls of this age often like to imagine other people's personalities based on minor details.
Moreover, she was a free-spirited young girl who had just escaped the heavy constraints of aristocratic etiquette. She was so excited about the freedom she gained from enrolling in school that she was practically oxygen-deprived—otherwise, she wouldn't have imagined young Master Dark as some kind of aristocratic paragon!
……
Dark, engrossed in his battle with the beans, didn't notice the girl's odd behavior. With the beans on his plate almost gone, he began to consider his next dish—perhaps Yorkshire pudding would be a good choice?
Yorkshire pudding, despite its name, is actually more like a bread, with a texture similar to soft bread.
It is commonly served as a dessert to accompany roast beef dishes.
The process involves spreading the oil drippings from the roasted beef onto the pudding pan, and then pouring the batter into the pan when the smoke starts to rise. After baking, the pudding expands into a bread-like shape, with a golden and crispy crust and a soft and delicate filling. Finally, a layer of meat juice with minced meat is poured on top...
"hiss--"
Just imagining it made Dak's mouth water.
Just as he was about to reach for the Yorkshire pudding, Diana suddenly said, "Hey! Dak, do you like beans? Then you can have Diana's too!"
As she spoke, she dumped the entire plate of beans in front of her into Dak's plate!
Then she added, "Consider it a thank-you gift for the honey-glazed lamb leg!"
Turning back, she whispered, "Diana doesn't like beans..."
Dak looked at the mountain of beans piled on his plate, and his eyebrows twitched involuntarily.
【暴怒+1】
"Gan!"
……
Even though I wasn't that angry, the "rage" indicator suddenly increased.
Is it because the demonic bloodline has entered the awakening stage, making me more susceptible to corruption?
Dak silently swallowed the beans.
His heart was filled with anxiety and restlessness, but his demeanor was calm and elegant, and his movements were unhurried.
When he finished all the beans on his plate, all the food on the table disappeared from the plates and bowls all at once!
Main course is over, dessert time has arrived!
The table was laden with various flavors of ice cream, apple pie, syrup tarts, chocolate muffins, fried fruit jam donuts, liqueur-soaked fruit jam pudding, strawberry pie…
An extremely rich and sweet fragrance wafted over!
Dak silently watched the desserts.
He wasn't full at all!
The hunger in his stomach, combined with the rich aroma of the dessert, made it irresistible to him!
He reached out his sinful hand to his favorite chocolate muffin!
