Dark Demon
It was half past nine in the evening.
Dark left the library and sat in the common room for a while before he went back to the dormitory and took a bath.
After that, he drank a glass of milk and went to bed.
The life of the top student was just that simple and rigid.
Before this, Dark had never thought that he could develop such a good habit.
For physical development and health, Dark tried to ensure eight hours of sleep a day.
It was also commonly referred to as "sleep early and get up early".
He often pondered recently that if he really succeeded in removing the blood of demon god, would he return to his original life?
The answer was not certain.
But he guessed that it would not change too much.
There were so many factors to form a habit, but generally after the successful formation, it would be relatively easy to continue to maintain it.
Dark gradually felt that this kind of life was not bad, but it was restrained by shackles, which caused a little psychological pressure.
All he wanted to do now was to remove this pressure.
...
Getting up at six in the morning, Dark came to the common room and took a copy of the "Daily Sage" published by the Kingdom. He was about to enjoy the breakfast DemiDevimon brought him while reading a newspaper. Unexpectedly, he heard some footsteps coming from the stairs.
He used to read books and newspapers during this time and rarely saw other people.
It had gradually become a pleasure to enjoy the huge common room alone.
But he didn't expect it would be different today.
Coming out of the stairs were two first-year students who still had a sleepy face. Seeing that they had put on new outfits, Dark knew that they were going to go to the Traveller Street early.
After all, it was the first weekend of the opening of Traveller Street, Dark could understand their excitement.
He did not look at the two classmates again and moved his gaze back to the newspaper, continuing to stir the sugared milk with the spoon in his hand.
"Morning, Dark."
"Morning, Dark."
"Morning, Roentgen, Seevert."
They greeted each other and proceeded separately.
Only after Roentgen and Seevert came out of the tower, did they whisper at each other.
Roentgen sighed, "He gets up so early."
Seevert: "No wonder he is always ahead of us, God will reward people who work hard. This is so true."
Roentgen: "Perhaps we should be more diligent?"
Seevert: "Yes."
Roentgen: "I really didn't expect that the real Dark Demon turned out to be like this... I feel that I can be friends with him."
Seevert: "That's probably a bit difficult. He looks very kind, but he doesn't seem to have much contact with other people."
Roentgen: "Sigh! Anyway, let's just have fun these two days! We can start working hard from next Monday!"
Seevert: "Yes!"
...
The figures of the two gradually fade away.
...
DemiDevimon flew back, relaying the conversation between Roentgen and Sievert to Dark.
Dark smiled bitterly and shook his head. So it was the classic slogan of "working harder tomorrow".
The people who always left things to the next day would probably never be able to accomplish anything.
One today is worth two tomorrows.
But then Dark thought about it again.
If there was no threat from the blood of the demon god, perhaps he would be the same as them.
"Sure enough, everything has a good side and a bad side."
Dark sipped the milk and thought.
...
Cazer, the Professor of Introduction to Magic, was a really kind elderly.
It was said that he was one of the only remaining alchemists who had existed since Merlin's time.
Because of his broad knowledge and eloquence, Professor Cazer's class was always very interesting. It was nothing like the other two little fairy Professors.
Due to his goblin ancestry, Professor Cazer's height was only 1.4 meters, taller than pure-blooded goblins but shorter than normal humans.
However, no one would discriminate against him because of this.
In fact, among all the teaching Professors, he was the most popular Professor. If the magic introduction could be simpler, he would be even more popular.
When Dark found Professor Cazer, he was working on something he didn't understand in the laboratory.
"Demon? Why are you here?" Professor Cazer noticed him first.
Dark curiously asked, "Professor, what experiment are you doing?"
Professor Cazer smiled triumphantly and vigorously stirred the big bucket of pumpkin jam in front of him, "I'm preparing to make [Jack Pumpkin]!"
Dark only thought for a second before he realized it, and then he was surprised, "No way, Professor, there is still a whole month before Halloween!"
"Do it beforehand, this is my life motto." Professor Cazer laughed.
...
Dark easily got the key to the next laboratory from Professor Cazer.
It was all because of his usual good behavior. He was already a model student in all Professors' minds, and all the Professors liked him, even more than Emma.
When he told Professor Cazer the purpose of borrowing the lab was to "practice the making of emotional cards", Professor Cazer lent him the key without any doubt. He even suggested that he wanted to guide him during the practice!
Of course Dark did not want him to guide him, so he refused saying the Professor was busy.
Coming to the next laboratory, Dark locked the door and opened the experiment cabinet.
Sure enough, it was filled with various materials.
Although they were all basic materials, the production of emotion cards did not require high-end materials.
He counted it carefully and found everything he needed. Then, he took a grid plate from the side, took the materials from the laboratory cabinet, and put them into the grid of the grid plate one by one.
Next, it was to try to make the [Refined Emotion Card] according to the textbook.
Dark turned the textbook to the page that explained the production method, put it on the table, and pressed it with a small object.
Then he began to concoct the magic potion!
The potion [Sound of Happiness] could make people laugh after drinking it.
This potion would not really make people happy, but it could replace "happy emotion" and be used as a kind of "ink".
In other words, there was no need to use the magic brain dropper to inject emotions into a blank card. Dark could just smear this potion on a semi-finished blank magic card, and then refine it to create a new emotion card.
Originally, the simplest way to make an emotion card was to use the "Sound of Happiness" potion.
Dark just discarded the potion and directly replaced it with [Pride].
But since it was the real experiment of the [Refined Emotion Card], it was necessary to start with the concoction of the potion.
Fortunately, Dark had learned how to concoct a potion in potions class.
He took half an hour to make a light green potion that was exactly the same as it was mentioned in the textbook and then poured it into the "ink bottle".
After that, he used a magic energy pen to absorb "ink", and completely painted the surface of a blank magic card in light green.
After that, various materials were boiled into a paste and applied on the surface of the magic card. After natural drying, a transparent film would be formed.
Then, according to the order, Dark first drew the No. 7 magic refining circle on the transparent film and performed preliminary refining so that the "Sound of Happiness" potion and the magic card were fused at the start.
Then he drew the No. 18 magic refining circle on the back to form a frame to lock the energy in the magic card.
After that, the No. 21, No. 33, and No. 34 magic refining circles were refined at the same time to form an energy loop, so that the magic card could recover autonomously after the magic energy was lost.
Finally, he used the 13th magic refining circle to further refine the card, and the 9th magic refining circle to enhance the effect!
The whole process was quite complicated, and each magic refining circle must overlap partially.
Not only did Dark have to ensure the correct operation of each magic refining circle at the activation of the card, but he also had to make sure that each magic refining circle would not interfere with each other's effect.
Even though Dark had practiced many times in the library last night, he still failed the first time.
But he was not discouraged and tried the second time, by which he became successful. ...
"Oh, my goodness. I thought you were making simple emotion cards!"
Although Dark had clearly locked the door, Professor Cazer still pushed the door in with a look of surprise, as if there was no lock at all. There was still pumpkin paste smeared on his face.
