The temperature in September has already begun to drop. Saint Marian's early morning had a cold breeze, and just like the indifferent world, it was beautifully frozen.
Shivering cold!
Dark never imagined that his thirst for knowledge could be regarded as "Greed"!
Does this demon god bloodline want to be awakened so badly that it starts to act shamelessly now?
What should I do now?
Should I keep reading?
Should I take the class?
Sloth and diligence.
Seeking knowledge and greed.
How can I balance this?
Was I studying too hard?
Was the study time too long?
Dark looked up at the Cuckoo clock above the fireplace, and realized it was already 7:20 a.m.
"It took about sixty-five minutes to learn, but the time to really get into it would be within fifty minutes. It was only with long hours of reading that I gradually developed a desire to gain more related knowledge."
"The desire to learn is strong and, to a certain extent, if I can't satisfy my thirst for knowledge, it becomes Greed."
"But it's hard for ordinary people to reach that level."
Dark was self-aware regarding this aspect, knowing that he was not the kind of person who was thirsty for knowledge.
After the blood of the demon god entered the awakening stage, the max limit to trigger the sins index became much lower!
Assuming that the others needed a desire of level 10 to be considered greedy.
He only needed a level 9, 8, or even 7, to be considered greedy!
So it's not that you can't learn.
You just can't learn too much!
Attending classes and doing homework normally, should be within the tolerance range.
Active learning and passive learning are definitely different.
As for whether this was the case, a few small experiments were needed.
Dark took a deep breath. Greed's index was 73, and there was a lot of room for trial and error.
Stupid people would choose to step back at this time.
Smart people would try to find suitable methods.

(ﾟ⊿ﾟ)ﾂ
Dark closed the textbook. There were already a lot of people in the common room, but he had been so immersed in the vast information in the book, that he hadn't even noticed it.
After finishing the textbooks, Dark put on his shoulder bag and walked out of the tower alone, across the bridge, and into the castle.
The interior of the academy's castle was intricate, but the sorting card would show him the way.
The food in the Academy's cafeteria is rich and varied, unlike last night's opening banquet, which was almost devoid of vegetarian food.
Dark picked a few simple dishes and ate a decent breakfast in a restrained manner.
Then, he followed the instructions of the sorting card and found the classroom for the first class.
It was almost eight o'clock by this time, but the new students were all arriving roughly at this time.
The summoning classroom was very large, it was an amphitheater, which could accommodate two classes.
The first class of the Noble House seems to be with the freshmen of the Knight House?
Dark quietly came to the corner of the last row on the left side of the wall, and put his schoolbag in the drawer.
"Hey!"
He had just sat down, and Dianna, who seemed to have already noticed him, shamelessly approached him.
Dark glanced at her soft face, and quickly suppressed the urge to squish it.
"Fortunately, my mind is faster than my hand!"
Dark pressed his fingers and pointed ,seemingly casually, to the front row.
Dianna was just about to sit down next to him when she couldn't help but wonder, "Does Dark want me to go sit with her?"
Dark didn't say anything yet.
But Dianna said happily, "She doesn't seem to be a cheerful girl, Dianna will help her now!"
Dark still said nothing.
Dianna ran to the front row on her own, and played with the girl who looked a little timid.
[Envy+1]
"....."
Dark was silent.
...
Rose Rothrock was a little flustered as she dealt with the overly enthusiastic Dianna.
The girl, who had just celebrated her birthday half a month ago, hadn't even stepped out of her own castle before coming to Saint Marian Academy.
Her parents died at the hands of the demon king army, and then she spent four years in the orphanage. At the age of five, she was taken home by her uncle who was a viscount.
Viscount Rothrock and his wife had been married for ten years and had no heirs. Originally Viscount wanted to raise her as his daughter, but he never thought that the viscountess would be pregnant just six months after Rose came into the castle!
So Rose, who had only enjoyed the "little princess" treatment for half a year, became a burden that no one loved.
The Viscount couple could not return her to the orphanage, so they just simply left her to the care of maids in the castle.
She still got three meals a day and books for her pre-school education. Additionally, she also received noble etiquette. But other than that, she didn't get anything more.
She was confined to a castle room, and occasionally saw the Viscount couple playing in the garden with her growing cousin through the window, making her feel very sad.
Her personality was greatly affected by her family environment. She gradually became introverted and liked to fantasize, she was also timid and afraid to reach out.
And Dianna appearing in front of her at this time was a ray of light shining into her heart.
Rose was gradually conquered by Dianna, and the two little girls soon became best friends.
...
Friendship in childhood was simple and precious. It was difficult to get it as an adult.
Dark, who by mistake contributed to all of this development, was also happy to see it happen.
"Dianna has a new friend, so she should not bother me anymore."
He tilted his head slightly and let the wind blow against his cheeks. He then looked out the window in the direction the wind was blowing.
The lilies unique to Saint Marian blossomed.
...
Professor Sarah Silver, the first-year summoning teacher, entered the classroom one second before the class bell rang.
The classroom, which was particularly noisy because of the curious new students, instantly fell silent.
It wasn't because the freshmen shut up, but as Professor Silver entered, the wind of silence blew into the classroom, making any sound in the classroom instantly disappear!
Noble House was basically filled with students who had received preschool elite education. Most of them realized that Professor Silver had used the [Silence Card]!
However, many people in Knight House had no idea about such concepts.
Robert, who was sitting next to White, even yelled out of fear. His whole face down to the neck was so red that it was as if he was cooked in boiling water.
When Professor Silver walked to the table and lifted the magic ban, Robert's scream rang out!
"Ah!--"
w(ﾟДﾟ)w
...
"Brogheim, since it's the first class, I will not deduct your credits for now."
Professor Silver tucked a strand of blond hair that flew in front of her to the back of her pointed ears, and indifferently said.
"Before the class begins, let's start with the school rules, which I believe the vast majority of you haven't read yet. I am Sarah Silver, half-elf and professor of summoning classes at St. Marian's Academy."
A class at St. Marian's has ninety minutes, starting with the first class at eight in the morning, with a half-hour break between classes, and ending with the second class at 11:30 p.m. In the afternoon, there is only one class starting at two.
The Academy adopted a credit system and just like Hogwarts, it had a House Cup. Unlike the House Cup award in Hogwarts, in this academy, it was a real Holy Grail!
The "Marian Holy Grail" is said to be a magic artifact that has existed since the founding of the academy, and is also known as the "Wishing Cup" because of its power to fulfill prayers.
Among the four houses, the house with the highest credits can win the House Cup. The Wishing Cup will provide everyone in year one to year six of this academy with a chance to make a wish.
--The wishing cup bears the inscription: "He who is greedy has nothing."
