Chapter 40: Dark and Virt Go Their Separate Ways
The words [Lust-1] floating across his vision made Dark realize his intuition was correct.
This flower card could indeed absorb people's thoughts through the conduction of magic power.
The so-called "fortune-telling" was merely extracting "the person currently being thought of" from the surface of one's thoughts.
By imbuing the flower card with the concept of "love fortune-telling," it guided people to naturally think of the person they were thinking about when using it, and then that person would appear on the card.
Even the subsequent "the person the beloved person loves" was just self-perception.
It was nothing more than such a small trick.
Because it was inherently harmless, it wouldn't raise alarms.
On the surface, it was just a very interesting little toy.
But now it seemed, it wasn't as simple as it appeared.
...
Dark used his magic pen to probe again, confirming that the black rose flower card was indeed damaged. He then took out his notebook and began to record.
① Flower cards can absorb people's thoughts through the conduction of magic power.
② There must be people who have accidentally input excessive magic power, but no one has given feedback so far, indicating that this flower card only has a special reaction to the magic power of a few people, and for now, that's just me.
③ Flower cards can absorb Great Sins, indicating that their origin sequence is extremely high.
④ The person who can create this kind of flower card must possess a considerable level of skill.
⑤ Desired.
...
No matter who created this flower card and for what purpose.
The fact that it could absorb the power of [Lust] would not change!
If he could collect a sufficient number of flower cards, he could then boldly attempt to raise [Lust] to over 100, in order to create Lust-series magic cards.
His heart became restless.
Greed was somewhat spiraling out of control.
Dark calmed his mind, tidied up the remnants of the flower card, and sealed them in a plastic bag.
...
At the same time.
Virt and Robert were practicing dueling in the castle corridor.
Virt's Mystic Beast was a light-attribute stag.
Standing upright, it was a full two meters tall, and its magnificent antlers, forked like branches, gave it a significantly higher attack power than ordinary Mystic Beasts.
But as the essence of a Mystic Beast, its magic power was still only 100.
[Card Name: Mystic Beast]
[Type: Spirit Card]
[Rarity: ✪]
[Race: Beast-kin]
[Attribute: Light]
[Magic Power: 100]
[Attack: 200]
[Defense: 100]
[Ultimate Skill: Light of Heart]
...
If Dark's [Mystic Beast: Eevee] had a qualitative change in its core.
Then Virt's [Mystic Beast: Stag] and Robert's Mystic Beast [Mystic Beast: Castle] were completely reflected in their surface stats.
All three of their [Mystic Beasts] differed from the standard template.
Virt's attempt to win the intra-class competition was not blind arrogance.
But after practicing with Robert for a while, Virt gradually realized that his idea was too naive.
Robert's castle was just too tough!
With the stag's 200 attack points, he couldn't even cause any damage to it!
After repeated fruitless attempts, Virt said helplessly, "This isn't fair, Robert."
Robert, however, had completely shaken off his depression from last night and laughed triumphantly, "No, this is reality, Virt! 300 > 200, even I can calculate that!"
Virt frowned, "But I remember Professor Jones once said that the surface stats of Magic Spirit Cards are only for reference, and there will actually be significant discrepancies."
Robert said smugly, "The discrepancy is that I'm even tougher than you imagined! Hahaha!"
"This is unplayable!"
Virt lamented, "Let's call it a night, I want to practice on my own."
Afterwards, the two parted ways.
...
Robert wandered around outside, watching many first-year students practicing dueling, but they were all just messing around, their laughter restrained.
...
Virt, however, after separating from Robert, took out the flower card adorned with red lilac.
Inputting magic power, that person's face reappeared in the flower card.
Virt's expression was somewhat dazed. The anomaly in the library made him realize that this flower card was unusual.
But he didn't know how to deal with it.
Should he tell a professor?
Or explore it himself?
If he told a professor, would his own secrets be exposed as well?
Unable to decide after thinking, Virt took out Into the Abyss that he carried with him.
The moon was still very round tonight, he wondered if it would have any effect?
But as soon as he opened the book cover, before he even stepped out of the castle to bask in the moonlight, the line of text had already begun to twist, and pink mist rose from the pages.
But it didn't gather into the shape of an arrow ➹.
Instead, it floated towards the lilac flower card in his hand!
Virt was shocked and subconsciously separated the two.
But the pink mist accelerated and instantly drilled into the flower card!
Immediately, the flower card changed. The lilacs on the card bloomed one after another, releasing a rich fragrance.
Upperclassman Pandora's image suddenly came to life!
From the surface of the card emerged the upper half of the senior sister's figure. She raised her delicate, slender hands and gently swept the strands of hair that hung by her ears back, revealing her snow-white, tender neck.
Virt stared wide-eyed, looking at Upperclassman Pandora, who was exactly like the real person, and was completely stunned!
...
A few minutes later.
Virt put Into the Abyss back into his bag, leaving only the flower card entwined with pink mist in his hand.
He placed the flower card in his palm, occasionally looking down at Upperclassman Pandora who had manifested in the flower card, and whispered, "Is it this way?"
Upperclassman Pandora chuckled softly and nodded slightly.
Her laughter was gentle and soft, like a clear spring flowing through his heart.
Virt followed her guidance, somewhat entranced, and walked forward.
Before long, he arrived at the place he had walked through last night, hurried past the statue of the Archmage, and then turned onto another fork in the road.
Upperclassman Pandora's guidance was clearer than the mist.
He entered the secret passage and quickened his pace. This time, he didn't take any wrong turns. In just over ten minutes, he arrived at a hall.
This hall was hidden deep within the castle, the size of a lecture hall, with two stone pillars standing in the center, carved with patterns of goddesses dancing.
At the very front, a tall altar was built.
On the altar stood a statue of a goddess!
...
As Virt stepped into it, the torches on both sides of the hall automatically lit up, illuminating every corner of the hall.
Virt looked nervously at the statue.
The statue was exquisitely carved from delicate white jade, and the dust of history had not left many traces on it.
It held its hands clasped in front of its chest, its eyes closed, and its head slightly bowed, as if praying for something.
The firelight shone on it, reflecting a white light like the pale moon.
Virt suddenly realized that just by looking at it, he felt like his mind was being drawn away.
It was so sacred and beautiful.
"Snap."
Footsteps suddenly arrived.
