The Villainous Young Master Just Wants to Live a Laid-Back Life

Chapter 36: Dark Demon's Inaugural Astrology Lesson

Astronomy was essentially an elective course, with class times entirely dependent on Professor Didi's arrangements.

Although the schedule stated 19:30-21:00, the actual time was often adjusted.

For example, today's astronomy class was scheduled to begin at 18:00 in the evening.

...

Given that there were no classes on Wednesday afternoons, most students weren't in a rush. After receiving the notification, they simply discussed it quietly for a while, speculating about what Professor Didi would teach in astronomy.

However, astronomy's connection to daily life was truly too tenuous, even more intangible than the magic they had personally experienced. Students could only rely on their imaginations and divergent thinking, and their inspiration mostly came from legends and stories.

Virt and Robert didn't have such leisure.

The two of them suddenly became anxious.

It wasn't that they were thinking about previewing the material there wasn't even a textbook for astronomy!

Furthermore, after one o'clock in the afternoon, their debt would double, reaching a staggering 320 credit points!

With only 120 credit points currently, it was impossible to earn the remaining 200 from the next three classes.

So, they had completely given up on the idea of earning credit points from classes.

Robert just wanted to lie down and wait for death.

Virt, on the other hand, placed his hopes on the intra-class competition in Friday's dueling class!

The champion's reward for the intra-class competition was a full 1000 credit points. If he could win this prize money before one o'clock on Friday afternoon, repaying their debt would be a piece of cake!

Virt's original plan was to start using his [Mystic Beast] for dueling practice from tonight to increase his chances of winning.

Now, not only was his evening time occupied, but his time for catching up on sleep was also reduced!

"Wait, speaking of [Mystic Beast]..."

Virt couldn't help but look at Robert and mutter, "Robert, Magical Theory is tomorrow morning, where's your [Mystic Beast]?"

Robert's expression gradually shifted from anxiety to panic.

...

Dark Demon was in the library.

Among the first-year students, there were four who spent the majority of their spare time in the library.

One was Dark, one was Emma, one was Sarah, and the other was an unknown student from the Fool's Academy.

→ Exactly one from each academy!

They were essentially the top students of their respective academies, the pinnacle of wisdom.

After receiving the notification about the astronomy class, Dark thought about finding some astronomy books to read.

Because astronomy was an elective course without a final exam, he was quite casual when choosing books.

Astronomical Symbols.

Deciphering the Starry Sky.

These two books piqued his interest.

He pulled them both out and carried them back to his desk in the reading room.

His attention was drawn to Astronomical Symbols because he saw a circle of symbols on its cover, one of which was exactly the "⊙" that had appeared on the [Arrogance] emblem.

"I see, this is the symbol for the sun."

Dark drew a circle ○ on the paper and then added a dot · in the center, lost in thought.

"The arrogant star's symbol is the sun, it doesn't seem so unacceptable."

"The sun is the central celestial body of the solar system."

"The eight major planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, Kuiper Belt objects, and interstellar dust in the solar system all revolve around the sun."

"And the sequence level of Arrogance is 1, which perfectly matches the number symbolizing the center."

"If I remember correctly, one of eevee's evolutionary forms possesses the power of the sun."

"This is a point of reference."

"How to connect the sun with arrogance... perhaps it will help me analyze the great sin of [Arrogance]."

...

Unknowingly, it was already five in the afternoon.

Dark ate some pastries for sustenance in the refreshment room and drank a cup of "unflavored black tea," then packed up his things and left the library.

Today, he was still extracting [Arrogance] for storage, aiming to accumulate as many credit points as possible before Friday afternoon. Then, he would exchange them for a longer-lasting container and return the [Thought Bottle] to Professor Kazel.

Passing by Emma, Dark happened to glance at her and noticed she seemed to be studying The Value of Currency?

This made Dark slightly surprised, feeling like this girl might be going astray.

Thinking of her previous arguments with Virt and Robert about credit point debts, Dark couldn't help but shake his head.

The astronomy classroom was located in the spiral clock tower at the center of St. Marian Castle.

Climbing up the external spiral staircase, all the way to the twelfth floor, one could reach Professor Didi's astronomy classroom.

If you didn't arrive early, it was easy to be late.

Dark was somewhat grateful for his consistently good habit of arriving at classrooms early.

This class was still a joint class for all four academies. Students from the Magic Guidance Academy were clearly more interested in astronomy. Before Dark arrived, many people were already excitedly whispering in the classroom.

Professor Didi was generally a very amiable pixie. As the Dean of the Fool's Academy, even when deducting points from students, she never got angry in the slightest.

And as soon as class was over, she became very approachable.

Even if students were chattering in the classroom like they were now, she wouldn't mind.

—Yes, Professor Didi was already sitting at the podium.

...

Six o'clock sharp.

The bell did not ring.

Instead, a resonant chime symbolizing the alternation of day and night echoed!

"Duang!"

The bell sound reverberated throughout the campus.

Sunset, moonrise.

On the gradually darkening spiral staircase, Virt and Robert bounded upwards like rabbits.

The two had set their alarms and woken up just in time but they had lingered in bed for another ten minutes before rushing out of the dormitory in a hurry.

Naturally, they hadn't eaten breakfast.

Of course, they hadn't slept well either.

The late-night game of Magical Chess had cost them precious sleep time.

Running on an empty stomach, sprinting to arrive just in time, only made their fatigue even more profound.

"It's over!"

The despairing bell sound struck their hearts.

"Bang!"

The two burst through the classroom door and stumbled inside!

"Five points deducted each, Gode and Broheim."

Professor Didi didn't even turn her head to look at them, and began drawing a moon on the blackboard.

This lesson, she was clearly preparing to talk about astronomy knowledge related to the moon.

Virt and Robert sheepishly slipped into the classroom and sat down in another corner at the back row.

As for the deducted credit points, the two no longer cared so much.

Anyway, they couldn't gather enough anymore, could they?

Haha.

Hahahaha!

...

Since it was the first astronomy class for the first-year students, Professor Didi didn't teach anything too profound.

When the class entered the second half, she suddenly waved her hand, and the classroom ceiling instantly became transparent.

It was as if it had turned into a water mirror, shortening the distance to the night sky.

Students had never observed the moon at such close range.

Above the dark night sky rippling with water-like waves, a full moon occupying their entire field of vision hung down, like a jade plate!

"Wow!"

The originally dull atmosphere vanished completely.

The classroom instantly became lively.

Professor Didi looked at the children pointing and exclaiming at the full moon with a gentle expression, this time without any reprimand.

But there were two people who, looking at the extremely close full moon, couldn't suppress the surging emotions in their hearts.

One was Dark.

The other was Virt.
