"Is it a demon type?"
Professor Silf had somehow appeared beside Dark, the unique fragrance of the elves wafting into his nose, making his heart itch a little.
Dark took a slight breath and asked in confusion, "Professor, hasn't the era of demons passed? Why can I still summon a demon type?"
Professor Silf explained in an extremely calm tone, "The familiar of the House Card is just a type of Magic Spirit, strictly speaking, an alchemical product. It's like a golem, not a real life form. The so-called 'demon type' is just a classification of Magic Spirits, not an actual demon. As a Magician, you must learn to discern reality, explore truth, and not be deceived by appearances. As for why you summoned a demon type, it relates to your magic power, knowledge, and personality. Moreover, the technology of Magic Spirits is not yet perfect, and many things remain unexplained."
The surrounding freshmen nodded their heads in a seemingly understanding manner, not fully comprehending.
Only Dark asked very seriously, "Then, Professor, what is the name of my familiar?"
Professor Silf replied sternly, "This will be your homework. Before the next summoning class, successfully summon your familiar, identify its type, name, and characteristics, and write a report of about 300 words for me. Alright, Demon, 5 extra points!"
With that, Professor Silf moved on to another student.
Dark watched her back, wondering if she didn't actually know the name of this demon type?
After all, this thing is a DemiDevimon!
"Duel! St. Marian Super XX Academy" truly lives up to its name as an ultimate patchwork, even borrowing (copying) from "Digimon"!
Although he knew this game was a hodgepodge, it shouldn't be this blatant, right?
Dark felt a headache coming on.
DemiDevimon seems to be able to evolve into VenomMyotismon?
The evolution branches of Digimon are too many and too complex; he couldn't quite remember.
However, the familiar of the House Card should belong to the lower-tier Magic Spirits, primarily used to help the owner deliver messages or send and receive letters, replacing the role of "owls."
According to the Magician's explanation, the intelligence level of familiars is 2.5, slightly lower than that of ordinary beasts, and harmless.
Dark teased the head of the DemiDevimon and found its reactions a bit sluggish, possibly due to its recent birth?
The DemiDevimon's body was round, with bat-like wings and three-fingered claws, a white skull mark on its forehead, and a somewhat ugly-cute appearance when looked at for a long time.
The key is that it has wings and can fly, making it quite suitable as a familiar!
Dark quickly accepted the fact that he had summoned a DemiDevimon. After all, isn't a demon's familiar just a little demon?
...
Next, Dark began to glance around.
To put it nicely, he was observing his classmates' progress, but in reality, he was "daydreaming"!
Unknowingly, he had been attending class seriously for over an hour, and without a little daydreaming to relax, wouldn't he be in trouble?
A thought gradually formed in Dark's mind.
Then he suddenly realized!
Studying too intensely could trigger the [Greed] indicator, so by daydreaming more during study breaks, achieving a "balance between work and rest," wouldn't that perfectly solve the problem?
Bingo!
Dark timely suppressed his feeling of "pride," preventing it from turning into "arrogance."
Perhaps because of his example, the freshmen became more eager to learn summoning.
Finally, the know-it-all girl was the second to complete the familiar summoning!
...
Emma, upon successfully summoning her familiar, didn't immediately observe what kind of familiar it was but instinctively glanced at the far corner of the classroom.
Her gaze clearly carried a sense of competition, as if to say, "Look, I succeeded too!"
However, Dark's gaze merely brushed past hers, seemingly indifferent to her.
Emma turned back, a bit displeased.
But the little familiar squatting on her desk quickly brought back her smile.
It was a small otter with snow-white fur.
Whether it was its bean-sized eyes or its short limbs, its timid posture as it rubbed its cheeks and whimpered deeply struck the cute point of the little girl!
...
"Is it really an otter?"
Dark had expected this.
Otters are sharp and alert, with a strong curiosity, and are the guardian spirits of the know-it-all girl in the original work.
Naturally, it was the most likely option.
"Then Robert's familiar should be a hound, and Vitt's familiar a stag?"
Dark glanced over there and found Robert and Vitt scratching their heads in frustration, their progress clearly not going well.
In fact, the freshmen of the Noble House generally summoned their familiars faster than those of the Knight House.
This is the advantage of pre-school education.
"Wow!"
An overly surprised exclamation caught Dark's attention.
He found that Diana had also successfully summoned her familiar before the end of class!
It was a round-headed panda!
The panda, only the size of a plush toy, lay on the desk, its eyes still drowsy, looking adorably silly.
"It's really a fitting familiar for her..."
Dark couldn't help but cover his eyes.
The Gretel Bayer family, the kingdom's bear, how did they produce such a goofball?
Well.
A panda is also a bear!
Diana was clearly very satisfied with her familiar, even lifting it above her head and spinning it around until Professor Silf gave her a stern look, prompting her to quickly restrain herself.
The only one who hadn't summoned a familiar, Rose, couldn't help but become anxious.
...
The second class in the morning was Magic Theory.
If summoning is the method of using Magic Cards.
Then Magic Theory is the foundational theory for making Magic Cards.
And the corresponding duel class is the practical application!
Students were forbidden from summoning familiars in the academy corridors, but some still ignored the rules, running around with their familiars.
Dark ignored those people and was the first to arrive at the Magic Theory classroom.
The break between classes was a full half-hour, with lazy people wasting time and diligent people already starting to preview.
To avoid being judged as [Sloth], Dark took out the Magic Theory textbook—"Basic Theory of Magic"—and began flipping through it, not too seriously.
Thus, when Emma Mortis hurriedly entered the classroom, she saw someone sitting in the last row by the window, diligently studying.
This was not something a Noble House person would typically do.
Usually, such a person should be in the Mage House!
Emma muttered such things, found a seat in the first row, and also took out her textbook to preview.
Dark glanced at Emma in the front right row, but his mind was pondering whether there was a Magic Card that could alleviate his current predicament?
Not seeking to remove the Demon God's bloodline, just hoping to absorb some negative emotions or calm the mind.
