Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Dak Dimon cannot give up his greed for knowledge
The temperature in September has begun to drop, and a hint of coolness blows in the early morning of Saint Marian, just like the cold and indifferent world, beautiful and freezing.
It's so cold!
Dak never thought that the thirst for knowledge could be regarded as "greed"!
Has the blood of the demon god been so shameless in order to awaken?
What should I do now?
Should I read this book?
Should I take this class?
Laziness and diligence.
Seeking knowledge and greed.
How can I balance them?
Is it me, Dak, who studies too hard?
Or is it that I study too long?
Dak looked up at the cuckoo bird wall clock above the fireplace, and it was already 7:20 without knowing it.
"I studied for about 65 minutes, but the time I really got into the state should be within 50 minutes. It was only with long-term reading that I gradually developed a desire to obtain more relevant knowledge."
"When the desire is strong to a certain extent and is not satisfied, it will become greed."
"But it is difficult for ordinary people to reach that level."
Dak is still self-aware in this regard. He knows that he is not the kind of person who is thirsty for knowledge.
Then it is after the demon blood entered the awakening stage that the lower limit of his triggering sin index became very low!
Suppose that others need a desire of level 10 to be regarded as greed.
But he only needs a level of 9, or even 8, or 7, to be regarded as greed!
So, it is not that you can't learn.
But you can't study too hard!
Ordinary classes and ordinary homework should still be within the tolerance range.
Active learning and passive learning are definitely different.
As for whether this is the case, we need to do a few small experiments.
Dak took a deep breath. His greed index was 73, which left him plenty of room for trial and error.
Foolish people would retreat at this point.
Smart people would try to find a suitable method.
[Arrogance +1]
(?⊿?)?;
Dak closed his textbook. There were already many more people in the common room, but he was immersed in the ocean of knowledge and didn't notice it.
After packing up his textbook, Dak put on his shoulder bag, walked out of the tower alone, crossed the bridge, and entered the castle.
The interior of the academy's castle was intricate, but the sorting card would point you in the direction.
The meals in the academy cafeteria were rich and varied, unlike the opening banquet last night, which had almost no vegetarian food.
Dak picked some simple food and ate a decent breakfast in a very restrained manner.
Then, he followed the instructions on the sorting card to find the classroom for the first class.
It was almost eight o'clock, but the freshmen generally arrived at this time.
The classroom for the summoning class is very large, it is a tiered classroom that can accommodate two classes.
The first class of the Noble Academy seems to be attended with the freshmen of the Knight Academy?
Dark quietly came to the corner of the left wall of the last row and put his schoolbag in the drawer.
"Hey!"
He had just sat down, and the elusive Diana seemed to have already identified him and shamelessly stuck to him.
Dark glanced at her face that was like a freshly peeled egg, and quickly suppressed the urge to pinch it.
"Fortunately, I was quick enough!"
Dark held down his finger and pointed at the front row seemingly casually.
Diana was about to sit next to him, and at this time she couldn't help but curiously asked: "Dark, do you want me to sit with her?" Dark didn't say anything yet.
Diana said happily: "She doesn't look very cheerful, Diana will go to help her now!" Dark still didn't say anything.
Diana had already run to the front row by herself and played sticking with the girl who looked a little timid.
【Jealousy +1】
"I escaped the first day, but I couldn't escape the fifteenth."
Dark was silent.
...
Rose Flotti was a little flustered dealing with the overly enthusiastic Diana.
The girl who had just celebrated her birthday half a month ago had never even stepped out of the castle before coming to St. Marian College.
Her parents died at the hands of the Demon King's army, and she stayed in an orphanage for four years. When she was five years old, she was taken home by her uncle, who was a viscount.
Viscount Flotti and his wife had been married for ten years without any children. They had originally thought of taking her home as a daughter, but they had never thought that she had just entered the castle for half a year, and the viscount's wife was pregnant!
So Rose, who had only enjoyed the treatment of a "little princess" for half a year, became a burden that no one loved.
The viscount and his wife sent her back to the orphanage because of their face, and simply threw her in the castle and let the maid take care of her.
Three meals a day were not missing, preschool education books were also bought, and aristocratic etiquette was taught, but other than that, there was nothing else.
She was confined to her room in the castle. Occasionally, she saw the Viscount and his wife playing with her growing cousin in the garden through the window, and she felt upset.
A person's personality is greatly influenced by the family environment. Rose gradually became introverted and liked to fantasize, but she was obviously timid and did not dare to reach out.
At this time, Diana appeared in front of her like a beam of light, shining into her heart.
Rose was gradually conquered by Diana, and the two little girls were attached to each other.
...
Childhood friendship is pure and precious, and it is difficult to regain after growing up.
And Dake, who made all this happen by accident, is also happy to see the results.
"Diana has a new friend, so she won't harass me again, right?"
He raised his head slightly, letting the wind blow on his cheeks, and then looked out the window in the direction of the wind.
Lily, unique to Saint Marian, is in bloom.
…
The first-year Summoning teacher, Professor Sarah Silver, stepped into the classroom one second before the bell rang.
The classroom, which was particularly noisy due to the freshness of the new enrollment, fell silent for a moment.
It's not that the freshmen shut their mouths, but as Professor Sylph entered, the wind of silence blew into the classroom, causing the sound to disappear instantly!
The House of Nobles are basically students who have received elite preschool education, and most of them immediately realized that Professor Sylph had used the "ban card"!
But there are many people in the Knights Academy who have no relevant concepts.
Robert, who was sitting next to Werther, even yelled out of fear, his cheeks to neck as red as if they were cooked.
When Professor Silver walked to the desk and lifted the silence, Robert's scream suddenly sounded!
"ah--"
w(?Д?)w;
…
"Bloheim, for the sake of the first class, I won't deduct your credits for the time being."
Professor Sylph pushed the light blond hair that flew in front of her eyes behind her long pointed ears and said with an indifferent expression.
"Before class, let's talk about the school rules. I believe most of you haven't read them yet. I am Sarah Silver, a half-elf, professor of summoning at St. Marian College."
A class at St. Marian College lasts ninety minutes. The first class starts at eight in the morning, with a half-hour break. The second class ends at 11:30 noon. The afternoon starts at two o'clock. There is only one class.
The college uses a credit system, and like Hogwarts, there is a House Cup - not a simple honor, but a real Holy Grail!
The "Marian Holy Grail" is said to be a magical device that has existed since the founding of the academy. Because it has the power to fulfill wishes, it is also known as the "Wishing Cup".
Among the four branches, the school with the highest credits can win the College Cup. The Wishing Cup will provide everyone in grades one to six of this college an opportunity to make a wish.
——The wishing cup is engraved with the inscription: Those who are greedy have nothing.
Chapter 7 There is a big problem with Darkdemon’s familiar
When Professor Sylph mentioned the Wishing Cup, both the calm freshman in the House of Nobles and the loud-mouthed freshman in the House of Knights couldn't help but start talking about it.
Robert, who had just made a fool of himself, did not accept the lesson at all. His voice was the best in the Knights Academy, and his neck turned red with excitement!
"Witt, Werther, did you hear what Professor Silver said? As long as we can get the wishing cup, each of us can realize a wish!"
"Don't be too excited, Redneck. The professor said he was providing an opportunity to make a wish, but he didn't say that the wish would come true."
Although Werther was also very excited, his thinking was obviously clearer.
Diana on the other side was the voice of the House of Lords. She shouted excitedly to Rose, but then she felt that it was not enough. She jumped and said to Duck: "If we get the wishing cup, I will definitely make a wish for a chocolate wall." Candy lamps, fondant beds, cake tops, sugar cake carpets, and fried chicken candy houses with pudding cushions! And it’s so big!”
Seeing Diana describing the candy house happily, Dak was almost infected by her emotions...
Seeing that "Greed +1" did not appear in his field of vision, Dak breathed a sigh of relief, and then reminded with a smile: "Diana, the greedy one has nothing."
If the Wishing Cup could really grant any wish, it wouldn't be left up for grabs by students at St. Marian's College.
Judging from the inscriptions on the wishing cup, most of the wishes that can come true are trivial things.
Otherwise, Dak would definitely make a wish to "remove the bloodline of the devil"!
And tell that broken system to get out of here!
…
This time, Professor Silver did not use the "ban card". Instead, he waited for the freshmen's discussion to gradually subside before tapping the table and said, "In addition to deciding who will own the College Cup, the credits will still be given to St. Mary's." Ann's hard currency. Using credits, you can buy anything you want in Traveler Street, and you can also trade with any teachers and students in St. Mary's.
Of course, every transaction you make will be recorded on the college card, and only credits obtained from legitimate transactions will be recognized by the college. Finally, does anyone know how to obtain credits? "
Professor Sylph put her hands on the desk and glanced seriously around the classroom.
As a half-elf, Professor Sylph has inherited the ethereal beauty and long lifespan of the elves, and there is no trace of age on her appearance.
Although he always looks serious, he occasionally shows a weak expression in private.
