Chapter 18 Saint Marian Is Gradually Being Eroded By Love
[Knight House common room]
In this lounge, which was much quieter than before, White and Robert were playing magic chess.
Magic Chess was a chess type adapted based on [Capsule Monster Chess]. There were 21 chess pieces on each side and each piece had the corresponding attack, defense, health, and skills, and the number of moves that could be taken in each round.
By placing chess pieces in the area of your side, you can move forward and kill the opponent's pieces by moving one piece per round, and finally occupy the fortress and place the flag to win.
White and Robert owed a debt of 5 credits to buy this brand new magical chess. Each piece was a miniature golem with an intelligence level of 0.5. It could be moved according to a few specific commands and it could sing, dance, and even rap!
At this time, White was ordering one of the beautiful Mermaid chess pieces to sing, he became completely intoxicated by the singing.
Robert was ordering a Medusa chess piece to dance and he was also completely immersed by its dance.
Not far away, Emma Mortis looked at them grimly, sneering in her heart.
The two inferior students of Saint Marian Academy had no idea that their good days were coming to an end!
...
[Saint Marian open-air duel hall]
A slender white dragon was flying in the air. Its snow-white scales were shining with fine silver light under the sunlight and strong light was gathering on the jade-like horns.
Pandora Doragon was currently standing on the contestant stage, her languid posture appearing as soft as the white dragon.
She leaned forward with her elbows on the platform in front of her, and her delicate chin resting on her white jade-like palms. She looked boredly at the panic-faced student of the same year on the opposite side.
It's too easy.
Life has lost its interest because everything goes so smoothly.
I can only find the value of life by looking at the cute, immature look of that shy little boy.
Pandora lowered her head, fiddling with her nails that were different from normal humans, which were narrower, longer, and pointed and could not help showing a faint smile.
When she looked up again, the student at the opposite side had completely collapsed.
In the audience, fans from all walks of life shouted her name and the huge banners raised had all kinds of shameless words written on them.
When Pandora stepped off the stage, she waved in the direction with the loudest cheer. Suddenly, the atmosphere over there increased by three levels.
Then she smiled charmingly.
...
This was Pandora Doragon, the fourth-year student of Magister House, and a super-popular dueler with countless fans. She was also called the ‘silver dragon girl’...
[The Traveller Street]
Rose, who was dragged by Dianna to shop around all the snack stalls, leaned on the chair of the ice cream parlor in exhaustion. She lowered her head and touched the slightly bulging belly, and couldn't help showing a bitter smile.
"Rose-chan, you need to learn to say no!" (TL: Don’t ask me why there is chan here. The author put it here.)
But it was really sweet!
...
Youth is so beautiful, everyone is advancing at their own pace.
A small card game called [Love Divination] had quietly become popular.
Dianna was playing with a cherry blossom card given by the candy store, and suddenly shook hard, causing the cherry blossoms on the card to fly up.
It was really flying out of the card.
The pink-white cherry blossoms were flying in the air, and the fragrance of flowers spread everywhere.
‘When the cherry blossoms scatter and dissipate naturally, the person you like the most will appear on the card.’
"Dianna, has the divination come out?"
Rose straightened up her back strenuously, wanting to check.
Dianna wiped off the petals on the card and saw the person who appeared on the [Love Divination Card]. A lovely blush emerged on her white and tender face.
She quickly raised her little hand and covered the face of the card.
Then she looked at Rose unhappily, "Let me see yours first!"
Rose leaned back in her chair with a sad face, "I told you already that I got nothing. Yesterday, I heard someone say that after the person you like the most appears on the card, you can instill your magic energy into the divination card while thinking about that person, then you can find out the person that person likes. Do you want to try it?"
"No!"
Dianna shook her head vigorously, but her fingertips quietly instilled the magic energy into the card.
She moved her fingers away and glanced, suddenly her face turned pale. It was not her!
...
Pandora returned to the library, touched the little blonde boy who appeared on the [Love Divination Card], and was seriously considering the possibility of marrying him.
...
Emma Mortis took a thumb-thick book from the corner of the table, opened the book along the gap, and glanced at [Love Divination Card] that was used as a bookmark, but it was still unused.
Next to her table, in White Gawd's textbook, there was also a card like this.
...
In the reading room of the library, Dark was reading "Magic Basic Theory 2" carefully.
There was no collection of textbooks in the library. His second-year magic introduction textbook was borrowed from Ms. Bella, the library manager. It was said that it was an old textbook that a past student had left out in the library.
This "Magic Basic Theory 2", of course, was not like Harry Potter's "Advanced Potion-Making" from the precious collection of the "Half-Blood Prince".
It was just an ordinary textbook with class notes.
However, those notes still helped Dark understand some of the harder knowledge in the textbook more easily.
Starting from the second year, the difficulty of Saint Marian Academy's courses would have a qualitative increase.
If the first year was just an introduction, the second year was to start studying directly!
This jump was so big that students who were not serious enough in the first year would instantly fail to keep up with the difficulty of the course and then they would fall into the hell of endless extra tutoring!
Even Dark also felt that the course was quite difficult.
But fortunately, his comprehension skills were indeed very good, and he could always figure it out with the notes bit by bit.
Soon, he found the chapter "Precisely Making Emotion Cards".
The textbook knowledge of the first semester of the first year only stayed at the level of how to make a "simple emotion card".
If Dark wanted to improve [Pride Ⅰ], he must learn more complex and high-level production methods.
"It turns out that the No. 7 magic refining circle can only be regarded as a rubbing magic circle, rubbing the power of emotions into the magic card."
"To refine emotions, the No. 13 magic refining circle is needed."
"To increase the effect, the No. 9 magic refining circle is needed."
"To prevent energy loss, the No. 18 magic refining circle is needed."
"To be able to use it repeatedly, No. 21, No. 33, and No. 34 the magic refining circles are needed."
"Unexpectedly, there are so many rules in creating such a small emotional card."
Dark took a deep breath.
In addition to magic refining circles, refining emotion cards also needed some other materials to assist.
He glanced at the few credits he had left, and felt that it might be a better idea to apply for a temporary qualification to use the laboratory from the Professor of Introduction to Magic.
After all, he could get many free materials in the lab.
