The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

in short.

Charles found the "hidden test" of the House of Lords, but failed.

But the reason why he failed to pass the "Hidden Trial" was unusual.

This even caused his soul to be damaged, causing him to become weak and comatose.

Let’s get back to the roots of this.

Professor Kazel went straight to the core and locked the target.

The prince who severely wounded Charles was incompatible with the entire trial mission.

According to Charles, he didn't notice the existence of the prince at all while advancing the plot. He suddenly appeared and made a sudden move. Charles was caught off guard and was severely injured in the sneak attack.

"If it happens again, I will definitely not make such a stupid mistake again!"

As soon as he mentioned that guy, Charles's mental state improved a lot.

He listened to Professor Kazel's inquiry and described the image of the prince.

But what is disappointing is that except for the fact that the prince looked like he was "possessed by a demon" and "used forbidden power" during the trial mission, his overall appearance was not much different from the other princes.

It felt as if another person entered the "Hidden Trial" at the same time as Charles, then severely injured Charles and knocked him back, and one person received all the fruits.

But Principal Arte made it clear that it is impossible for two people to enter the same trial world at the same time!

The underlying logic is that the trial tasks of the "Hidden Trial" are temporarily generated based on various factors of the trialist himself.

Even when the trialist himself enters the "Hidden Trial" for the second time, the trial tasks and world will be different.

Therefore, trials occurring at the same time cannot overlap.

No one will enter the same trial world.

But if so, who was the prince who severely wounded Charles?

An NPC character purely hidden in the trial mission?

In the end, it wasn’t that person who was great, but Charles who was too bad?

The answers to these questions cannot be obtained from a single sample.

Unless Charles is allowed to enter that trial world again.

Even if you can't enter that trial world again, you should at least enter a similar world and evaluate it after fully experiencing it.

The core of the evaluation is whether there is a bug-like character like that prince in the new trial.

If it also exists, it means there is a problem with the trial itself.

If it does not exist, it means that it is just a BUG encountered accidentally.

But in short, from the current point of view, Charles's experience is not the same as that of Dylan, the prairie elf.

Therefore the two incidents cannot be viewed side by side.

…

After getting all the information he wanted from Charles, Darke and several professors exited the laboratory, leaving Sister Carian alone to take care of them.

Regardless of the cause and effect of the incident, since Charles has woken up, he is out of danger as far as he is concerned. All that remains is to cooperate with treatment and gradually recover.

The main reason for this incident was also Charles's own factors. From his answer, St. Marian College's responsibility can be removed.

Therefore, there is no need for professors to stay in that laboratory.

Professor Silver and Professor Kazel even asked Dak on the spot about his substitute teaching this morning.

Duck explained the progress of the substitute class and the assignments one by one, then finished lunch with the professors and left temporarily.

His curiosity has been satisfied, and there is another course of [Potion Science] to be taught this afternoon.

…

But as soon as he returned to the common room in the House of Lords Tower, he was surrounded by his third-year classmates.

Regarding the rumors that were further fermented this morning, the third-year students knew that he must have gone to the professor to find out the situation, and naturally wanted to get the answer from him.

"Little things."

Duck responded lightly.

Although this answer also confirmed the authenticity of the rumors this morning, it also calmed the students' emotions.

He later refused further explanation, citing the privacy of the "victim".

Under this situation, some people still want to delve deeper, but most people's curiosity has stopped here.

In the final analysis, these are just after-dinner topics, a spice to a boring life.

After it was determined that there would be no more serious consequences, the things that needed to be dispersed were dispersed.

But the matter itself is not over.

…

[Potion Science] The afternoon at the end.

Duck once again came to the secret place behind the teachers' dormitory.

Charles has fallen asleep after receiving treatment.

The professors gathered again to discuss the actions that would take place tonight.

In other words, use [Shikodi's Quill] to go to the castle to investigate!

Although Dak related the reason why Charles was able to find the "hidden trial" to the activity of [divine cause].

But until it's actually proven, that's just reasonable speculation.

And even if Dark's theory is proven correct, it doesn't mean that "Hidden Trials" can't be found outside of Sunday nights.

The question is whether the [divine cause] is active enough at other times.

Like, Saturday night.

Although the activity level of [Divine Cause] on Saturday may not be as good as on Sunday, it is theoretically active enough and can generally be fully utilized.

And even if you don't look at "time", what if the user himself holds a lot of [divine causes]?

After all.

If the activity of [divine cause] can really be related to the difficulty of finding the "hidden trial".

Then the first thing that needs to be done is to associate the "hidden trial" of St. Marian College with [God].

The so-called "hidden trial" can even be called "the trial of God"!

And with this premise established.

"Hidden Trials" will become opportunities and miracles that can be triggered by people with a large number of [divine causes].

Using [Shikodi's Quill] at this time will only further increase the possibility of finding the "hidden trial".

Dak himself is not very interested in this kind of trial to solidify his destiny.

But if the college needs his cooperation, of course he will not refuse.

In this case, it is better to deal with it sooner rather than later.

Tonight is just Monday, so the activity of [Divine Cause] is somewhat reserved.

It is the common intention of the professors to take this opportunity to investigate the anomaly of the "Hidden Trial".

Dak also voted in favor during the vote at that time.

…

therefore.

Tonight at seven o'clock.

As the sky turned dark, the magic lights lit up one by one in the castle of St. Marian College. Duck and several professors came to the scene of the crime.

It was somewhere on the sixth floor of the castle.

"This is it."

Professor Kazel asked about the patrol golem that had picked up Charles, and finally confirmed the location of the corner.

Soon afterwards, they found the door of the classroom nearby where Charles entered the "Hidden Trial".

"Squeak."

When I opened the door, nothing happened.

"The entrance to a hidden trial usually takes the form of a door."

"Judging from the traces on the ground, what Charles said is not false."

After Professor Silver observed it carefully, he spoke.

Principal Arte said enthusiastically: "With Kazel here, Charles can't tell lies at all. What we need to worry about is whether his memory has been tampered with. Of course, Professor Harvey has checked it and there is nothing wrong with his memory. Traces of alteration. Sarah, did you bring the quill?”

"Bring it." Professor Silver nodded slightly and took out a box from the bag.

It is worthy of being a sacred object of the [Three Goddesses of Destiny]. Even though it is kept in a box engraved with a sealing circle, you can still feel the mysterious aura from it.

Principal Arte took the box from her hand and unlocked the seal. [Shikodi's Quill] gradually floated in the silver-white brilliance.

Its body is exuding an extremely strong divine aura!

It can be seen from this that this is a genuine divine object.

With the awakening of the [Three Goddesses of Destiny], the power hidden in this divine object is also gradually awakening.

Fortunately, this is a relic that belongs to Shikodi, not Verdanti.

Verdanti ranks second among the "Three Norn Goddesses" and is the goddess of fate in charge of "Now".

Although it should, probably, maybe, not be remembered for such a trivial matter, Dark did have an intersection with Verdanti in the Star Tower.

He was somewhat shy about Verdanti.

…

"I offer my most sincere prayers to the goddess in charge of the future, and give us the guidance of our destiny."

Principal Arte muttered in a low voice, and the [quill pen] gradually began to rotate in the air as if in response to her prayer.

It is obviously not as difficult to use as Charles said.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether this was an environmental problem or a human problem.

Of course, Dak would prefer a little of both.

Although the current environmental factors are weaker than yesterday, they are still helpful.

Principal Arte himself possesses a large number of [divine causes], and he is an existence with half a foot in the divine realm.

If she uses the [quill pen], it will definitely be easier to get a response than if Charles uses it.

As the [quill pen] started to rotate, everyone looked at each other quickly, and then followed behind Principal Arte, following the guidance of the [quill pen].

Not long after that, they walked up the stairs to the seventh floor of the castle.

Then, the location of the "hidden trial" was found only in a classroom near the stairs on the seventh floor.

Principal Arte walked into the classroom and came to a window, with a glimmer of light in his eyes and a hint of excitement.

The "hidden trial" of St. Marian College has existed since ancient times.

But not everyone can trigger it.

In the years since she became the principal, she has seen students trigger "hidden trials" many times, but she has never found one herself.

So much so that she always thought that she had no chance of this trial.

As a result, I found it easily just by looking for it today.

Although this "hidden trial" had no effect on her, she felt a sense of satisfaction that her wish was fulfilled.

"Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Principal Arte couldn't help but have thoughts swirling in his mind.

And when an idea comes to her mind, she will most likely implement it.

In fact, she took less than half a second to think before she opened the window to the "hidden trial".

…

As Principal Arte entered the trial, the silver glow on [Quill Pen] dimmed and disappeared.

When it fell, Professor Silver caught it.

"Wait here." She said, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Professor Kazel, on the other hand, said enthusiastically: "Alte's trial is from the Magic Academy, right?"

"Probably so." Professor Silver nodded.

Professor Kazel said: "I wonder what kind of fate will be activated in the trial of the Magic Academy?"

Professor Sylph said: "I have heard about this. I heard that it is the fate of the [Sage]. There are several sages from the academy who have found hidden trials."

Professor Kazel couldn't help but smile and said: "Sage? That's also very good. When the time comes, I will name him [Alchemy Sage]."

The professors were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was not tense at all.

Obviously, no matter what abnormalities there are in the "hidden trial", they don't think that it can cause trouble to Principal Arte.

And they have a dispensable attitude towards the benefits that the "hidden trial" can bring.

Originally, the "Hidden Trial" of St. Marian College was positioned as an "opportunity for students", a small gift in the process of students' growth.

For them, not only it has no use, but it is almost useless.

At this point, although Dak is still a student, he also has the same idea.

However, he still asked curiously: "What about the fate of the House of Knights and the House of Nobles?"

Professor Sylph thought for a while and said: "For the House of Knights, it is most likely a [Hero] fate. For the House of Nobles, it is an [Emperor] fate."

"A hero and an emperor?" A trace of surprise appeared in Dak's eyes.

Compared with the [Fool] from the Academy of Fools and the [Sage] from the Sorcerer Academy, [Hero] and [Emperor] are not particularly outstanding, but their impact on reality is obviously different.

Among them, the destiny of "Hero" is linked to "Brave", and the practical significance of "Brave" is extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Duck suddenly realized what Evan Pearson was looking for during his time as an exchange student.

He wants to become a [Brave], and passing the "Hidden Trial" of the Knights Academy to obtain the [Hero] destiny is obviously the right path.

And similarly, in the original game, this is likely to be the fate that Vit Gauthe will receive in the future.

"So, in addition to the blood family deck and dungeon deck, is it possible for Witte to get a hero deck?"

Duck suddenly realized something.

"It seems that, in addition to wanting to take a further step on the path of magic, Charles' search for the hidden trial also has a lot to do with the [Emperor's] destiny itself."

Of course, the horoscope is only a foreshadowing of one kind of future.

Not only those with the destiny of [Emperor] can become emperors.

Even under normal circumstances, people who clearly hold the destiny of [Emperor] may be jealous of the emperor and encounter misfortune.

Duck lowered his head and thought.

Suddenly I noticed a fluctuation behind the window.

Principal Arte actually came out!
