The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life
Chapter 253: Dark Demon opens the era of pen-spinning (2 in 1)

"The remote conduction and control of magic energy have high requirements on the quality and the control ability of magic energy. Therefore, under normal circumstances, we cannot learn this content until after the second year. But some students are very good, and they have grown to the point where they meet the requirements in just one semester."

Professor Cazer raised his wand, pointed to the six students, including Dark, and smiled. "Today's class is mainly for them, but not just for them. Getting in touch with this part of the knowledge as soon as possible will benefit everyone present. Mastering the magic will make your studies easier later on."

"Now let’s get right into the main topic today, I will ask a student to cooperate with me to give a demonstration." Professor Cazer turned to look at the six students, his eyes swept over their faces one by one. In the end, he chose Dark, which had the best quality and control ability of magic energy. "Demon, come here."

Dark took two steps and came to Professor Cazer.

Professor Cazer nodded with satisfaction, raised his wand, and said, "Come, stretch out your hand and bring the magic energy to your fingertips."

Dark stretched out his right hand and moved the magic energy to the index finger, the finger still had the magic ring presented by Professor Cazer!

As the magic energy gathered, there was a slight glimmer of light on the tip of his index finger.

Professor Cazer stretched out his wand, pointed at Dark’s fingertip, and then pulled out that glimmering magic energy, drawing a thin arc in the air.

The students below the podium became quiet in an instant, and each one opened their eyes wide and stared at the thin line.

"The remote conduction and control of magic energy is essentially a branch application of the materialization of magic energy." Professor Cazer's voice was stable and steady. "We release the magic energy out, condense it into a silk thread, and stretch it. On the basis of ensuring that the magic energy is condensed and not dissipated, we stretch it to the limit."

He began to move to the side, and as he walked, he stretched the magic energy thread longer and longer, until it was indistinguishable to the naked eye. "If the quality of the magic energy is insufficient, it will break in the process of gradually lengthening."

He shook his wand lightly, making the glowing transparent silk thread more conspicuous. "Fortunately, the quality of Demon's magic energy is already quite good."

After saying that, he suddenly let go of his hand, letting his wand levitate in the air, and then said to Dark. "Come, manipulate your magic energy and try moving this wand."

...

Dark frowned slightly.

The materialization of magic energy was actually a very difficult thing. Whether it was a magister, a mage, or an alchemist, all magic professionals should know that magic energy was a substance that could easily dissipate.

The human body was the best magic energy carrier, followed by gold, mercury, and other substances. Once the magic energy was forced out of the human body, the magic energy would quickly dissipate.

The phenomenal light emitted from this would make people recognize invisible things like magic energy. The stronger the light emitted by the magic energy, the more magic energy that dissipated.

Therefore, items such as wands, magic energy pens, and magic swords were not simply extensions of the arms.

To materialize magic energy, even if it was just a silk thread, one would need to be good at controlling magic energy so that it wouldn’t dissipate too quickly outside the body. After Dark obtained the magic ring, he tried this technique, but he still couldn't solve the problem of magic energy dissipation.

This time, it was possible to condense such a long thin line without breaking it directly, entirely because of the guidance of Professor Cazer.

It seemed like an understatement, but this kind of guiding ability was actually very amazing.

In contrast, manipulating the magic energy thread that had been formed to move the wand was simply too easy.

Dark didn't think about "how to do it" at all. All he thought about was just that he "wanted to do it", and then the wand flew a few circles freely and smoothly in the air.

"Oh!" Professor Cazer exclaimed very exaggeratedly, then reached out and grabbed the handle of the wand and said, "Demon did a great job! I regret having him do the first demonstration now, because it will make you think that moving a wand with magic energy is a very simple thing. It's actually very difficult. Doron, you can try it."

Doron: "Uh..."

This kind of statement, which clearly wanted him to be the negative example, didn’t make Doron happy at all. He secretly vowed not to be outdone by Dark.

As a result, after Professor Cazer assisted him to stretch the magic energy into a relatively short thread, the wand was suddenly thrown up to the ceiling, and the thread of the magic energy broke and disappeared on the spot when he tried to move the wand by himself!

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Doron blushed slightly.

Professor Cazer stretched out his hand a little and recalled his wand, but nodded in satisfaction: "A good demonstration."

Doron's face turned dark.

Several people on the podium couldn't help but snigger.

Professor Cazer then began to talk about how to control magic energy to make objects move, as well as the skills of how to condense magic energy without dissipation. He would occasionally ask a student to assist with the teaching.

Dark listened carefully.

But after the first demonstration, the professor no longer asked him to do any demonstrations.

The reason was that his demonstration was too perfect to be able to assist the teaching.

In contrast, Doron, who lacked the talent for magic energy, became a favored student.

Of course, the rest of the students other than them were also asked to come to the podium.

Pulling their magic energy out of their body into a thread under the guidance of Professor Cazer was an invaluable experience.

With the first-time experience, the second time would naturally become easier for those students.

Simply reading books for self-study would not have such an effect.

...

Half an hour later, when the six students were tired from standing on the podium, Professor Cazer gave each of them a magic ball the size of a ping-pong ball.

The core technique of using magic energy to move the wand was actually to use one’s own magic energy to interfere with the magic energy of the wand itself.

Because the wand itself contained magic energy, it could be easily moved.

This kind of magic ball props that assisted teaching also followed the same principle.

Professor Cazer said with a smile, "Try to rely on your own strength to make the magic ball in your hands move."

The six students tried to do what the professor said using their own strength under the gaze of dozens of eyes from the audience.

Without the guidance of Professor Cazer, it became very difficult to just release the magic energy and condense it into a thread.

In addition to the requirements for the control ability of magic energy, there were also requirements for the strength of an individual’s mental strength.

Dark, who had practiced [Spiritual Concentration Art], had higher mental strength than normal people.

The blood of the demon god also gave him a good talent for magic energy.

Therefore, it only took him two minutes to successfully turn the magic ball into a "yo-yo", which attracted a lot of exclamation.

Dianna, who was beside him, watched this scene closely, extremely envying his ability.

But envy was pointless.

Thinking of this, Dianna gritted her teeth and began to practice hard.

Unwilling to be left behind, Doron threw the magic ball into the air, then flicked his middle finger at the magic ball, attempting to eject the magic energy thread from his finger and grab the magic ball with it.

It was a cool move, but unfortunately, it was useless.

The magic ball fell to the ground with a "pop".

In terms of the three students from Knight House.

Emma held the magic ball in her palm and kept thinking.

Justin and White both believed that practicing would eventually make them able to control the magic ball.

White held the magic ball and watched Dark's flexible manipulation of the magic ball, feeling envious.

He originally wouldn’t have this kind of feeling. But after seeing the intimate exchange between Pandora-senpai and Dark in the library the day before, some of his mentality changed.

"At least I can't lose too much to him!" White gritted his teeth sharply, pouring magic energy into his fingertip.

"Pfft!" In a soft sound, the entire magic ball flew out violently and smashed at Professor Cazer's forehead.

Then, at the moment of contact, some kind of defense system responded.

The magic ball bounced back and hit White's left eye with a bang.

"Ouch!"

...

Magic Theory ended in the students' discussions.

It was pretty much the same except for the occasional glance at White's black eye.

"Come on, White, it's just an accident." Robert looked at the depressed White and tried to comfort him.

"I know it was an accident." White gritted his teeth. "But it shouldn't have happened!"

Robert shrugged. "Nothing shouldn't have happened. You see, Doron also threw the magic ball up to the ceiling, right?"

"That's different!" White raised his head suddenly, pointing to the dark blue around his left eye, "His eyes didn't become like this."

Robert: "Okay, okay, let's go to Sister Kaleid to get some potions."

White: "Ahhh!"

...

As the number of students in the classroom became less, Dark also packed up his books and prepared to leave.

Dianna turned to look at him and asked worriedly, "Does this really work?"

Dark blinked and said calmly; "I don't know."

Dianna: "Huh?"

Rose chuckled.

Dianna looked down at the magic energy pen in her hand, distressed.

Her practice on the podium was unsuccessful.

In fact, aside from Dark, only Emma seemed to have a little grasp.

After stepping off the podium, Dark taught her a technique called "Pen Spinning".

By manipulating the magic energy pen at close range to spin, she would be able to gradually enhance her ability to control magic, and once she was able to spin the pen skillfully, she could slowly increase the distance, and let the magic energy pen fly.

But this technique was completely thought of by Dark when he was practicing...

If it was another person, they would have thrown the magic energy pen back into the school bag in annoyance at this time.

But Dianna unconditionally trusted Dark, and she still practiced "Pen Spinning" in her hand after she put on her school bag, all the way to the cafeteria.

The three of them took their plates and found a place to sit by the wall of the cafeteria.

Dianna spun her pen before the meal and continued to spin her pen after the meal.

After watching it for a while, Rose also couldn't help but take out her magic energy pen to learn how to spin it.

Anyway, the more she learned, the better, and it didn't matter if it was useful or not!

Besides, this "Pen Spinning" was actually really fun.

...

In Potions Class in the afternoon.

Professor Thompson also slightly increased the difficulty of the lesson.

The gap in difficulty level of classes at Saint Marian between each semester was actually relatively large.

The gap between the first semester and the second semester of the first year was fairly normal. When once the little magisters reached the second year, they would find that all the content in the class seemed to have crossed another level.

Going up to the third year, the gap would be even bigger.

This had something to do with the system of magic knowledge.

It also had something to do with Saint Marian's teaching style.

This was not early childhood education, nor joyful education.

In order to be successful in learning, independence was very important.

Self-studying the knowledge in the library, in addition to the content in the class, was a great way to keep oneself up to date with the class.

And in this world, twelve years old was the last period of ignorance.

From twelve to fourteen years old, both young boys and young girls would mature very quickly.

During the war, it was not uncommon to inherit the family business at the age of fourteen, get married, and have children.

However, in the past decade or so of relative peace, society had relaxed a lot of requirements for children's minds, changing the "age of adulthood" from the age of fourteen to the age of sixteen.

And there was a trend of further changing it towards the age of eighteen.

But Saint Marian's teaching system had not kept up with the changes of the times, and many of its teaching concepts were still in the style of wartime.

However, this was inevitable for an old-fashioned castle.

...

The difficulty of the content taught in this potions class made some students complain, and the large amount of homework assigned to help students master this part of the content drowned out the students' minds.

Many people only realized until this moment that it was the new semester!

For a time, the library was full of energetic figures of the first-year students.

Dark was also in this crowd in the library, and he worked a little harder than usual to finish his homework as quickly as possible.

Before 5:30 in the afternoon, he finally finished his homework, and then, under the resentful eyes of Dianna and Rose, packed his school bag and walked out of the reading room.

"Pa." That was the sound of Dianna's magic energy pen falling on the table after failing to "spin the pen".

White, who was in a corner of the reading room, just happened to look up and capture Dark's back.

"Did he finish his homework so quickly?" Looking down at the half-finished homework, White scratched his head.

He turned his head and suddenly realized that Robert's progress was even faster than his own!

...

The underachievers are buried in homework.

The overachievers are partying all night.

...

Dark came to the counter.

Pandora beckoned when she spotted him.

Dark walked to the counter, pulled over a stool, and sat next to her.

Pandora closed the book and said, "One minute, Ms. Bella will come to take over soon."

Dark thought for a second and said, "Senpai, why don't we wait until the weekend..."

Pandora asked innocently, "Why wait until the weekend?"

Dark: "We can only go to the cafeteria now..."

After all, Traveller Street was only open on weekends.
