[Binge eating +1]
"It's only 1 point, we just reduced it by 1 point!"
Dak reached for the syrup cake again.
[Binge eating +1]
"It's okay, there's still plenty of room for the binge eating threshold!"
"If I start practicing moderation from tomorrow, I'm sure I can lose the weight."
[Binge eating +1]
Dak ate another piece of strawberry pie and finally stopped.
Then he took a damp towel from the side and carefully wiped the sugar stains from the corners of his mouth.
"Dark, do you like desserts too?"
"Diana also loves desserts!"
You like to eat everything except beans, right?
Ignoring the girl's whispers in his ear, Dark adjusted his posture slightly, tilting his gaze toward the long table of the Knights Academy.
At this point, Victor Gold had a new student by his side with whom he was having a pleasant conversation. If I'm not mistaken, this should be Ron Weasley's best friend and main character.
The poor protagonist's best friend, after doing all the dirty work in "Harry Potter" for his whole life, finally got a Hermione Granger and successfully lived off her.
But in the visual novel *Duel! St. Marian Super XX Academy*, he's definitely not going to get a single one!
A life of loneliness and hardship may well be his final fate.
Dak couldn't help but sigh, at least he still had a fiancée who would be enrolling next school year to look forward to.
So, where is the leading lady who plays Hermione Granger?
Dark glanced around a few times but didn't find any girls who seemed particularly close to the protagonist, Victor, so he looked away.
……
However, even though Dak had looked away, the perceptive Witt had already noticed his gaze.
Perhaps it was because Dak's temperament was so outstanding among his peers that it was hard to ignore him.
"Who's that guy with eyes on his nose?" Witt asked in a low voice.
Robert Broheim, Ron's assistant, immediately asked in confusion, "Aren't eyes all on the nose?"
“Uh, I meant the forehead.” Witt pointed to his forehead.
Robert shrugged. "If you're talking about the blond one, then he's the son of the kingdom's only duchess, Alvette Saint-Dimón, Dac Dimon!"
Witt murmured, "Alvita Dimon, the Valkyrie who was known as one of the Kingdom's Twin Swords alongside my father? Then her son must also be as virtuous and righteous as the Valkyrie? Perhaps I could become good friends with him?"
"Pfft!" Robert couldn't help but laugh. "Witt, not everyone inherits the good qualities of their parents like you."
Victor: "Really? But I don't even know what my parents look like..."
Chapter 5 Darkdimon tries to become a top student
"When you get back, don't forget to use your college card to check the school rules. Finally, I wish all the new students the best of luck in finding their own value at St. Marian Academy over the next six years!"
The opening banquet ended amidst cheers from the students.
Unlike Dumbledore in Harry Potter, Headmaster Art did not offer any plot-driving hints.
This left Dak somewhat unsure of the situation.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that even if something bad happened, the protagonist would take the blame, so what did it have to do with him, the villain?
Take good care of yourself!
St. Mary's College is a boarding school, and students are not allowed to leave the school except for holidays.
Once the school gates are closed, money, power, and connections will be cut off.
Knowledge, skills, and academic credits are the most important factors in determining the ranking.
Even if you are the son of a duke, you will be despised if you become the worst student.
Moreover, those who can enter St. Mary's Academy are all future archmages, and they are not afraid of the authority of the nobles.
Dark knew that his reputation was not good, but the students of the Noble Academy, who were pure-blooded nobles, would be close to him out of empathy.
However, this aligns perfectly with his thinking: reduce social interaction and cultivate his character. While maintaining a Buddhist-like lifestyle, he will delve into knowledge and find a way to completely eradicate the demonic bloodline before it fully awakens!
St. Mary's Academy is the most prestigious and well-stocked institution in the kingdom, second only to the Holy Mystic Academy. If even here, a method to eradicate the demonic bloodline cannot be found, then it's safe to say the kingdom is doomed.
……
Following the senior students out of the main hall, up the marble staircase, through the winding corridor filled with portraits, and across a high-hanging bridge, the freshmen of the Noble Academy finally arrived at the tower located in the southwest of the academy—the dormitory building of the Noble Academy!
St. Mary's College has four such towers, each with nine floors excluding the basement.
The first floor is a common lounge.
Starting from the second floor and moving upwards, the dormitories are for first-year students to sixth-year students, respectively.
The eighth floor above is the dueling practice room, and the ninth floor is the observatory!
The guardian golem of the House of Nobles is a legendary creature called the "Feathered Serpent"!
The feathered serpent has colorful feathers; it is profound and wise, gentle and elegant.
They cannot lie; they can see through falsehood and perceive the truth, thus they are "truth tellers"!
The reason why the dormitory of the House of Nobles is the only tower among the four houses that can be entered directly without the need for credentials, passwords, or other "keys".
It was because of the existence of the Feathered Serpent Golem.
Simply by passing in front of this golem, it can tell whether you are a student of the House of Nobles.
Dark watched as Diana rushed into the tower, and then followed her.
As he passed in front of the feathered serpent, the golem coiled in front of the door suddenly opened its serpentine eyes, its pupils vertical, bright and spirited, completely unlike a lifeless golem!
Dak remained silent, trembling with fear.
But the white light shining from the feathered serpent's eyes only swept over him once before receding.
Then the feathered serpent closed its eyes again, and there was no more sound.
Dak quickly quickened his pace and entered the tower, only then letting out a huge sigh of relief.
"I almost thought the demon god's bloodline had been discovered!"
Dark originally thought there was room for error when he saw that the awakening of the demon god's bloodline had a progress bar.
But now it's clear that even if it only awakens 1%, it can't escape the true eye of the feathered serpent golem!
"Is this the legendary Hell difficulty?"
……
"Dark, what's your room number?"
Diana ran over again, clutching her Sorting Card.
Dark glanced at the doorway with lingering fear, then infused his magic into the Sorting Card.
The crown pattern on the front of the Sorting Card then faded, revealing what he wanted to know.
"number 201."
"Huh? Diana is number 233, she's so far away!"
"Aren't they all in the same building?"
Dak gave a few perfunctory replies and quickly went up to the second floor, where he found the room at the very front.
Only after entering the room and locking the door did he gradually relax and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I've never felt this much pressure in both of my lives combined."
The dormitory is a single room, with a soft double bed and a private bathroom.
The bed was covered with brand-new personal items and a complete set of first-grade textbooks.
After finally managing to make the bed, Dak's brain went blank due to exhaustion.
I'll think about it tomorrow!
……
It's just dawn.
Dak opened his eyes wearily. On the wall opposite the head of the bed hung a brass clock, the hour hand just pointing to six o'clock.
"Six o'clock? I think class doesn't start until eight... I'll sleep a little longer!"
Laziness +1
A cruel system notification suddenly flashed before my eyes.
Dak was startled, all sleepiness vanished!
“ca……a type of plant”
The "rage" index didn't increase by one, and Dark wiped the sweat from his brow.
The least forgiving traits right now are "pride" and "wrath," while "envy" and "gluttony" are relatively more forgiving.
A quarter of an hour later.
After changing into his school uniform, Dak arrived at the common lounge on the first floor.
The academy's uniform is black with gold trim and features a small crown on the chest. The academy also provides a matching card holder that can hold twenty-one magic cards.
The common room was quiet, and the magic lamps hanging on the wall would automatically turn on when someone arrived.
Having lost the joy of taking a nap, Dak found a seat looking dejected and then took out his textbooks one by one from his shoulder bag.
To eradicate the demonic bloodline, besides finding the right method, the necessary knowledge and abilities are also crucial.
Imagine how desperate it would be if a magic book containing the correct methods were right in front of you, but you couldn't understand it at all.
The antonym of "laziness" is "diligence."
Dark picked out the textbook needed for the first lesson of the day from a huge pile of textbooks—"The Beginner's Guide to Summoning"!
"Summoning" is a fundamental spell that every mage must master, as it is the means of awakening magic cards!
The reason for setting the Summoning class as the first period on Monday is to teach freshmen how to summon the familiars from their Sorting Cards!
Under the dim light, Dak Dimon opened his textbook and began to study in the empty common room.
……
A few minutes later, Dark gradually got into the zone.
In his previous life, he was at least a college graduate with the necessary ability to interpret texts.
Among young mages of the same age, no one should have better writing skills than him.
"Maybe becoming a top student like this wouldn't be so bad?"
【傲慢+1】
Dak suddenly realized he had made progress and hadn't even mentioned the plant.
……
If you can get into the zone while studying, it actually feels really good.
Because I can truly feel myself making progress.
Human beings have an innate thirst for knowledge. Only by constantly acquiring knowledge, exploring the unknown, and unraveling mysteries can we usher in one great era after another.
After studying attentively for an hour.
Greed +1
"屮!"
