The professor of Magic Theory was Professor Cazel—a master alchemist with goblin blood!
In an era where magic technology gradually replaced ancient alchemy, Professor Cazel's position was somewhat awkward.
However, this did not hinder his proficiency in magic technology.
Professor Cazel did not delve into overly profound knowledge in the first Magic Theory class but instead introduced the students to some basic knowledge about Magic Cards.
Magic Cards are divided into five main categories: Spirit Cards, Magic Cards, Item Cards, Field Cards, and Ritual Cards.
Beyond these, there are also God Cards and Mystery Cards!
God Cards are those with "divine power."
Mystery Cards refer to "unknown cards"!
In this class, Professor Cazel mainly discussed Spirit Cards.
Spirit Cards are Magic Cards that can summon Magic Spirits!
Spirit Cards have seven main attributes:
1. **True Name**: Only by calling out the true name can the Magic Spirit be summoned.
2. **Level**: Represented by the number of stars, with ordinary summoning techniques able to summon spirits from one to four stars. Spirits above four stars require advanced special summoning techniques!
3. **Race**: Spirit Cards have fifteen races, including Human, Demi-Human, Dragon, Angel, Demon, Undead, Elemental, Fairy, Mechanical, Insect, Reptile, Beast, Plant, Fish, and Phantom God!
4. **Attribute**: Spirit Cards have 20 attributes, including Normal, Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Steel, Fairy, Light, and Shadow!
5. **Magic Power**: Magic Power is both the life force and the energy for using special moves. Once Magic Power reaches 0, the Magic Spirit will disappear and cannot be summoned again until the Magic Power is replenished.
6. **Attack and Defense**: Numerical values representing the spirit's attack and defense capabilities.
7. **Special Moves**: The spirit's skills, which consume Magic Power to use. White cards have no skills, blue cards have one skill, purple cards have two skills, and orange cards have three skills.
...
To illustrate more vividly, Professor Cazel took out a Spirit Card as a demonstration.
In front of the freshmen, he summoned a white giant python exuding a chilling frost!
The four-star, reptilian, ice-attribute giant python gave the newcomers a good scare!
...
As Magic Theory ended, the freshmen seemed liberated as they rushed out of the classroom, heading to the cafeteria in groups.
For students of this age, the Magic Theory class was indeed a bit dull.
But Dark listened very attentively!
So much so that before the class ended, he saw the [Greed+] prompt!
And then he realized.
The so-called greed is an inner, extraordinary desire!
His "desire to alleviate the current predicament" was considered [Greed]!
Even though he paid attention to taking breaks during class, it didn't work!
This completely overturned his daydreaming theory.
But he did gain some insights from this class.
The variety of races and attributes of Magic Cards, especially Magic Spirit Cards, exceeded his imagination!
Among them, the Angel and Phantom God races possess holy power!
"Phantom God cards are said to be exclusive to God Cards, with only a few in the world. But Angel cards are just rare, so if I could get one or two Angel Magic Spirit Cards..."
Using holy power to counteract the Demon God's power is common knowledge in any world.
Dark thought he might have found a clue.
However, Professor Cazel made it very clear that at St. Marian Academy, both teachers and students can only use Magic Cards they have made themselves!
Which means.
If he wants to purify himself with an Angel Spirit Card, he must make it himself.
That's really difficult!
...
With a bit of worry, Dark had a simple yet satisfying lunch in the cafeteria, then returned to his room to take a short nap to recharge for the afternoon's Potions class!
Since Diana had Rose as a friend, she didn't bother him, which was a relief.
But after only half an hour of sleep, he suddenly felt a tug in his heart and woke up startled.
A [Sloth+] prompt quietly flashed by.
"Damn!"
[Wrath+]
"Even napping isn't allowed?"
Dark glanced at the clock and couldn't help but smile wryly, "Looks like I'll have to set an alarm for naps in the future, not exceeding half an hour! Can't sleep past six in the morning, can't nap for more than half an hour... What kind of model youth is this?"
Dark called up the system to check the Sin Indicators.
- **Pride: 93**
- **Envy: 42**
- **Wrath: 95**
- **Sloth: 72**
- **Greed: 74**
- **Gluttony: 54**
- **Lust: 75**
Overall, they were trending upwards.
Especially the [Wrath] indicator!
Although the [Wrath] indicator is the most volatile among the Seven Deadly Sins, decreasing somewhat once the anger subsides.
It was still two points higher than at the start.
This was not a good sign.
Dark simply got up, packed the Potions textbook into his bag, and headed to the common room to read.
He originally wanted to go to the library to look up information on DemiDevimon to complete his summoning class homework.
But with only a little over an hour left before the afternoon class, he decided to wait until after Potions class to visit the library.
Who knows, the Potions professor might assign homework that requires library research too?
"Wait, if I spend a long time researching and can't find anything, but really want to complete the homework and keep searching... will the [Greed] indicator explode?"
"Hopefully not..."
With a hint of worry, Dark faced his third class of the day.
Thanks to moderate preparation, he performed well in this third class.
Professor Thompson, who taught Potions, wasn't like Snape. Not only did he praise Dark, but he also awarded him extra credits.
Making Magic Cards requires potions, so diligence is necessary!
But Professor Thompson didn't mention any potions that piqued his interest, so it didn't trigger the [Greed] indicator.
After three classes that day.
Both professors and students looked at him differently.
...
Dark tried to minimize interactions with classmates and went straight to the library after class.
The library was managed by the somewhat plump Ms. Bella, but the daily administrator was a senior student.
This senior with long black hair was exactly Dark's type, so he didn't dare look too much. After registering his name, he quickly slipped into the library.
"What a cute freshman."
Pandora watched the "shy" little boy with delicate features and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh softly.
...
Little did he know, hiding behind the bookshelves, Dark was clutching his chest, breathing heavily.
The [Lust+] prompt made him label this library as a devil's den!
...
After him, Emma Mortis also entered the library.
