The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Dark's knowledge of the magic brain dropper basically came from the "Magic Brain Dropper User Guide".

Using the magic brain dropper, not only could one draw out a certain emotion, one could even draw out memories from one's mind.

But the use of the magic brain dropper was a very dangerous thing. Even with extremely high magic energy controlling ability and the necessary amount of knowledge, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents.

It was precisely because of this that Dark never dared to go deep into his mind easily, but only used the "Dragonfly Touching Water method" to draw [Deadly Sin] from outside his mind.

After all, inserting a tube into his head was a really scary thing; he couldn't accept it both physically and mentally!

And deep mind extraction would be too much even just once a month.

Nor was it necessarily better than drawing from the outside the mind.

So this time, with the opportunity to make a wish to improve his ability, Dark also preferred to improve his exterior extraction ability.

Not the advanced technique of inserting a magic brain dropper into the mind, but a method to thin the "brain barrier" in conjunction with the "Dragonfly Touching Water method".

Simply put, it was to find a way to reduce the mind's ability to withstand emotional changes in a short period of time, so as to achieve the effect of "easier to leak out".

But in fact, the level of sophistication of this technique was not necessarily lower than the technique of extracting emotions from deep inside the mind.

...

Dark was thinking like this in his heart when he made a wish.

The resulting Wishing Force was then absorbed by the Holy Grail and the feedback would be given accordingly.

...

After scrutinizing that wishlist, Dark had actually learned some skills.

If he wanted to increase the probability of making a wish come true, the best way was to not make the wish too specific.

For example, he shouldn't make a wish like "I want to improve my strength tenfold", but "I want to improve my strength".

In this case, the probability that the wish would come true would be much higher.

This was what he did this time.

...

About two or three minutes later, the Holy Grail finally had some reactions!

As if a star had dropped in, the "wine" in the cup suddenly rippled outwards, like a starry night spreading out, sending out circles of dark waves.

Closing his eyes, Dark suddenly "saw" a scene.

The starlight that fell into his mind turned into the knowledge he coveted, and as if it had already been mastered by him in the past, this knowledge was now just a piece of memory in his mind.

He really got a response!

...

"How is it?" Principal Arte asked softly.

Dark opened his eyes with excitement: "It feels great!"

Principal Arte chuckled: "Looks like it worked?"

Dark nodded slightly: "In a way."

Principal Arte raised her wand again : "Then let's leave here first."

As she pointed her wand towards the Holy Grail, the ripples like the starry night shrank rapidly, and then the "wine" in the cup gradually receded, leaving only a thin layer in the end.

The Holy Grail still exuded an unique aura, but it had lost its previous charm.

Then the two exited the secret room.

Principal Arte locked the door, pulled out the door key, and the door leading to the secret room disappeared instantly, and the wall was restored to its original state.

It was only then that the principal said again: "You can actually succeed on the first try. It seems like you are very lucky."

Dark: "My luck is always good at critical moments."

Principal Arte: "Do you mind telling me what kind of wish you made?"

Dark: "Of course I don't mind."

This was actually a necessary procedure after making a wish.

Dark already knew this when Principal Arte took out her wish list.

After the annual Holy Grail Wishing session, students would report their wishes to facilitate school statistics.

Therefore, the wish he made, on the surface, had nothing to do with the bloodline of the demon god.

Emotions and memory were his long-standing research topics.

"You've actually been using a magic brain dropper?" Principal Arte was still surprised, showing obvious dissuasive intent.

Dark explained that he was just using the "Dragonfly Touching Water method" to scratch the surface of mind.

Only then did Principal Arte breathe a sigh of relief, but she still said, "Even if you just extract it from the outside, it can't completely eliminate the danger. I personally suggest that you'd better wait until you get to the third year- No, only try this subject after you get to the fourth year."

However, she then praised: "But your wish is very clever. You didn't wish to obtain a knowledge that delves deeper into the mind, but something on the surface, which is a more secure choice. If what I think is correct, you should have learned a debuff-like mind magic from the Holy Grail."

Dark was impressed by how quick the principal figured out what kind of wish he had made: "Yes, I just wanted to master some knowledge related to the magic brain dropper."

Principal Arte: "The difficulty of learning Mind Magic is second to none among many types of magic. Without a huge body of knowledge as a framework, it is difficult to make achievements in this area. You should already have the foundation of Mind Magic, right?"

Dark; "Professor Cazer has taught me Spiritual Concentration Art."

Principal Arte: "No wonder. This is the premise that your wish can be fulfilled."

...

Mind Magic - [Soulless Curse]!

A Mind Magic with almost the same effect as [Soulless Water]!

Using Soulless Curse on people could make people lose consciousness in a short period of time, and at the same time, the bond between the soul and the body would become loose, and the Thought Substances would float, making it easier to be stripped from the mind.

Because the learning difficulty of [Soulless Curse] was too high, [Soulless Water] was hence created.

Human beings infused with Soulless Water were the perfect seedbed for demons.

In the era when demons still existed, Soulless Water was the most commonly used potion for demons to conduct possession experiments.

Although this was considered a very evil magic by many people, magic itself had no division of good or evil.

The professors at the Saint Marian Academy were particularly clear in this regard.

...

Although the [Soulless Curse] that Dark had learned by relying on the Holy Grail was only entry level, having a difficult entry level was the scariest thing.

Of course, if he could find a follow-up learning method in the future, he would have the opportunity to further expand his knowledge.

...

Unknowingly, the time for the academy curfew was approaching.

So although Dark benefited a lot from the brief chat with Principal Arte on the topic of emotion research, he still needed to leave now.

After saying goodbye to the principal, he left the principal's office with a reward of 10,000 credits.

The reward of 10,000 credits was a huge sum of money for a first-year student.

If it was converted to sacred coins, it would be 160,000 sacred coins.

But if he really used it, he would spend it all very soon.

However, Dark didn't want to think too much about it. He just hoped to use these 10,000 credits to successfully craft the [Fusion] card.

...

With the arrival of January, the temperature in Saint Marian dropped another level.

Walking alone in the cold castle, Dark felt like he would freeze at any time.

He cupped his hands and blew hot air into it, thinking that maybe he should install a heater in the dorm.

At the same time, he wondered if his magical spirits had done their homework seriously?

Basic education was not something that could be achieved overnight.

Dark actually didn't hold out much hope, so any results would be a pleasant surprise.

As the new semester started, the dueling club would begin to recruit new members

With his current strength, it would be very easy for him to pass the test, but participating in a regular duel competition required a minimum of forty magic cards.

If the number of cards in the deck was less than 40, one could only participate in the Rookie Tournament.

Generally, first- and second-year students would be assigned to this group.

Dark was very excited just thinking about it.

...

After greeting the Feathered Serpent golem that guarded the tower gate, Dark entered the common room of the Noble House tower.

The excitement of the opening ceremony had not cooled down yet, and there were still a dozen people left in the common room.

But most of them were either reading or playing chess, very quiet.

Noble House was nowhere near as loud as Knight House, nor as quiet as Magister House, an atmosphere like this was very rare.

In normal times, Dark would probably sit in a common room like this for a while.

But not tonight.

He still had a lot to do!

...

"Click!"

The moment the lock was unlocked, Dark could clearly feel the large movement in the dormitory.

When he pushed the door open, he saw the magical spirits sitting in a row obediently, with the exception of Trash Slime, all doing their homework.

But with just one glance, he knew they were pretending...

"Have you learned to pretend?" Dark laughed out in anger.

Then a thunderstorm followed.

The two magical spirits who had done the least homework were asked to come out and punished to face the wall.

After Dark scolded the rest of the magical spirits again for a while, he took out the experimental equipment and began to do the [Deadly Sin] extraction experiment.

There was not much time left tonight, so he could only do this experiment.

"Pride 105, Wrath 89, Greed 103, Lust 106."

"Maybe I'll start with Greed... no, start with Soulless Curse's experiment!"

"DemiDevimon."

"Yes!"

...

The full spell of [Soulless Curse] was extremely long, at least five minutes from beginning to end at a normal speaking rate.

But using a simple incantation could shorten this time to less than a minute.

The entry-level [Soulless Curse] used a simple spell. Its effect was not as good as [Soulless Water] for the time being, but if the effect was too good, it would only make Dark feel troubled.

When a mage cast a spell, they would be able to modify the magic within the range.

For example, remove some effects and increase the proportion of some effects.

[Soulless Curse] would cause people to lose consciousness.

The [Soulless Curse] Dark learned by relying on the Holy Grail had its own control method to strip the unconscious effect, and would not cause the caster to "lose consciousness".

And the duration of the overall effect was extremely short, less than three minutes.

In other words, without the need for [Andersen's medicine], Dark could return to normal after three minutes.

If this level of [Soulless Curse] was evaluated by the normal magic evaluation system, it would definitely fail.

But what Dark needed was this failed [Soulless Curse]!

...

DemiDevimon walked over with a sad face, it would rather face the wall.

With only wings and no hands, it could only stand on one foot and write with the other foot when doing homework. It was very hard.

DemiDevimon was envious every time when it saw Hawlucha, who also had wings but claws on it.

So there was a reason for it not to do homework - but this reason certainly wouldn't work in front of Dark.

"Is there a little red flower reward for helping the experiment?" DemiDevimon, who reluctantly came to its master, asked aggrievedly.

Dark gave a big smile: "Of course."

...

"Soulless Curse!"

"Ah!" DemiDevimon screamed, but nothing happened.

All the magical spirits were looking at it curiously, allowing it to enjoy a much-anticipated actor experience.

Dark then took out the [Card of Happiness] that he hadn't used for a long time.

As DemiDevimon was enveloped in the light of [Card of Happiness], the expression of pain on its face was fleeting, and a smile bloomed on its face, revealing a look of contentment.

"It's definitely more effective than using [Card of Happiness] alone."

After trying to talk to DemiDevimon while it was under the effect of [Card of Happiness], Dark discovered that its mind was still very clear, and it didn't lose its consciousness or fell into a confused state.

As long as it was properly controlled, it would not affect the experimental process.

"It seems feasible!"

This was originally a trial experiment for safety reasons.

But now it seemed that the [Soulless Curse] bestowed by the Holy Grail met his needs in every way.

Dark put away the [Card of Happiness] and waited quietly for three minutes.

Three minutes later, DemiDevimon, who made a fool of itself, fled to the bunk bed and got into the cute little quilt, crying, only showing half of the soles of its feet.

When Dark was about to start the [Deadly Sin] extraction experiment, it quickly ran back and tried desperately to remind him that he should reward it with a little red flower.

Dark gave it a small red flower, which he then took back immediately.

Helping with the experiment should indeed be rewarded, but being lazy should also be punished.

"Maybe this is what they call a carrot and a big stick." Dark couldn't help chuckling.

Demidevimon: "Ahhhhh!"

……

After the safety of [Soulless Curse] was verified, Dark started the formal experiment.

This time what he wanted to test was not [Greed], but [Wrath]!

He wanted to see if the [Deadly Sin] with less than 100 points on the indicator could overflow his head, and then if he could use the "Dragonfly Touching Water method" to extract it. This was his main purpose of the experiment at present.

Before that, it was necessary to use [Spiritual Concentration Art] to make his mind highly concentrated.

[Spiritual Concentration Art] and [Soulless Curse] seemed to conflict, but they were actually not.

[Spiritual Concentration Art] would make the inner mind highly concentrated, whereas [Soulless Curse] would loosen the outer barrier of the mind.

And then with careful control, the thought substances could be drawn out of the mind.

Dark picked up the magic brain dropper, disinfected it, and then let it dry.

After a while, he suddenly squinted his eyes, gathering his focus, and entering the spiritual concentration state.

"Soulless Curse"!

For the first time casting a spell on himself, Dark was inevitably a little nervous.

But the effect was as expected.

He could feel some of his thoughts drifting outward.

This was actually extremely dangerous.

If he was not careful enough, it would not be emotions that drifted out, but memories!

But fortunately, his [Soulless Curse] was a real degraded version, and the experiment was still under his control.

After that, Dark immediately followed the method for invoking emotions in the "Magic Brain Dropper User Guide", and only invoked [Wrath].

But after a while, he gradually opened his eyes.

Failed!

[Wrath] stopped when it was still some distance away from the "barrier" and could not be lured out by him no matter what.

But Dark wasn't discouraged by this.

He recalled what happened in detail, recorded the feelings just now, and then pondered carefully.

After ten minutes, he started the second experiment!

This time, he didn't plan to conduct the experiment on [Wrath], but on [Pride], the Deadly Sin that he was the most familiar with.
