The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Chapter 202: The Wonderland of Dark Demon 2 in 1

“But you have to keep in mind that you can't use it in any tournament-related events.

“After all, the academy's policy does not allow us to give magic cards to students for free, even if they are only semi-finished products…

“Although it is also not exactly free.”

As Dark read out these lines clearly, Arte's tightly furrowed brows finally smoothed out.

Professors were an integral part of the academy, and at Saint Marian, they had more power than they seemed on the surface.

Deducting and awarding credits was like issuing fines or printing money—they could do it at will. While they had their own set of rules to follow, they still enjoyed considerable freedom

Therefore, the selection of each new professor was very troublesome.

As Claire did not show any intention to stay in the position this time, Principal Arte had no choice but to look for a new professor. But if she couldn't find a suitable candidate, she would have to ask Claire again.

Now it seemed that Claire was indeed a good choice.

Arte was satisfied.

As the smile spread around her mouth, her body turned into light, and in a blink of an eye, she changed back to the appearance of a little griffin.

"Good night, Demon." The principal's voice came out of the little griffin's mouth, which always made Dark feel extra weird.

Dark thought about it and said, "Good night, principal."

After the two little magical spirits flapped their wings and flew away slowly, Dark finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Principal Arte's presence was a pressure in itself, and he couldn't relax completely.

And now, he could finally study this gift from Claire more openly!

...

From the words in the letter, Dark roughly guessed that the magic card that Claire gave him was most likely the [Zoo] card!

This was obviously a great surprise for Dark.

After all, according to his current learning progress, without considering the relevant material costs, he would not be able to master the knowledge of making the Zoo card before the summer vacation.

His original plan had changed from making [Zoo] as soon as possible to trying to challenge it under Claire's guidance after going home during the summer vacation.

But if he could get it in advance, it would not only help him with his study and research, but also help him a lot in the early development of [Bond]!

But the premise was, if it was really a [Zoo] card!

...

Dark turned the Christmas card over.

The first line of words at the beginning was:

"Shh, Arte must think that this is a [Zoo] card! But don't be surprised."

...

"Uh..."

At this moment, Dark's face twitched.

If this is not a [Zoo] card, then what else can it be?

He raised his head and couldn't help looking in the direction where the two little magical spirits had left. He subconsciously closed the window and drew the curtains before continuing reading the card.

Put your thumb on the fingerprint on the bottom right corner of the Christmas card and then inject your magic energy, then you will know how to complete that half-finished magic card.

When you succeed, you will know what it is.

But if you fail… then you'd better not know about it.

Dark frowned, and then looked up at the clock on the wall again.

"It's eleven o'clock, but I haven't used my brain very much today, and I feel like I'm in a good state."

Even if it was him, it was still impossible to endure it until tomorrow morning.

He quickly found the fingerprint on the bottom right corner of the Christmas card.

When he pressed his thumb on the fingerprint, he had an illusion of "fingerprint unlocking".

Anyway, after he injected a bit of magic energy, he got some information.

While he was reading the information, he picked up the pen and paper on the table and took the note at the same time.

The level of this semi-finished magic card was far higher than the semi-finished dress-up card [Tuxedo Mask Outfit] that Dark had activated before, and it was even more complicated than the sorting card.

But Claire had already completed almost all the crafting steps, leaving only two steps: injecting personal information and finalizing it, to Dark.

The complexity of this card could be considered to be reaching the pinnacle of card crafting.

Dark wrote down the detailed method of the two steps, drank the apple juice on the table in one gulp, and began to read and understand it over and over as his mind gradually became clearer.

It took him about half an hour for this.

After that, he used [Spiritual Concentration Art] to get rid of distracting thoughts before trying to complete the crafting of the magic card!

"The first thing I need to do is to use magic energy to draw a magic circle on my fingertip!"

This was a very clever imprinting method.

The common method was to use the magic energy pen to draw a magic circle on the magic card, but this method was to draw a magic circle directly on fingertips, and then press the drawn magic circle onto the magic card just like pressing a seal!

This had a very high requirement on magic energy control.

Dark had practiced it before when learning the knowledge of the [Zoo] card, so he was very proficient in it.

But that was just the basics.

The key to the first step was to successfully imprint the magic circle on the correct position of the magic card.

That was, the infusion of personal information!

...

The more complicated the magic card, the more "personalized" it became.

Factors such as the magister's thinking, magic energy, and soul would cause different changes in the magic card. Taking into account all factors, the various adjustments to the magic card would result in only the magister himself being able to use the magic card.

When getting to this point, one would not even need to use "mind lock" to ensure that the magic card would not be used by others.

The so-called "mind lock" was a kind of "imprint of the soul and mind", which was equivalent to a binding measure.

It was often used to protect the magic card from being stolen and abused.

The difference was that "mind lock" could be unlocked, but the "personalized" magic card had no lock to be unlocked at all; therefore, it could only be used by the magister themselves!

...

The information left by Claire included over a hundred questions that needed to be answered.

Each of these questions all required him to answer in less than a second while maintaining the state of "pressing the magic circle onto the magic card".

All questions were very simple and intuitive, and there were only conceptual distinctions, but no right or wrong answers.

For example: "What does wonderland look like in your mind?"

As long as Dark could imagine what wonderland looked like in his mind, he would pass.

...

Even so, the whole process was still a huge consumption of brain power.

After Dark completed this step, he was already sweating profusely!

He let go of his hand suddenly, and saw that magic circles with different brilliance continued to emerge on the card surface of the magic card, layer upon layer, expanding and contracting continuously, and then he knew that this semi-finished magic card was correctly activated.

But next, he still needed to continue to input magic energy.

And each magic circle must be fine-tuned and optimized with magic energy.

Although he had learned all of these things in Claire's after-school lessons, he didn't have much application experience.

So he had to be extremely careful.

However, Claire had obviously estimated his ability before giving this half-finished magic card as a gift.

So he didn't make any big mistakes in the end, and completed the first step relatively perfectly.

And the magic card that received his thinking also changed drastically!

In short, it gradually became something he wanted.

This semi-finished magic card was many times more difficult than making the magic card itself.

What's more, the difficulty of making this magic card has already reached its limit.

The deeper Dark went, the more shocked he was. He even felt that he would not be able to obtain this ability before graduation.

Claire truly deserved the title "Sage of Beasts"!

...

The second step was the final completion of the crafting.

In this step, what he needed to do was not to add materials and draw the crafting magic circle - in fact, these steps had already been completed.

According to Claire's message, this semi-finished magic card had a program that would run automatically after activation.

At this stage, all he needed to do was place the magical spirit cards he had crafted himself one by one on the magic circles that appeared around the semi-finished magic card.

The semi-finished magic card would absorb information from numerous magical spirit cards, enhancing itself in the process to ultimately complete its final form.

Dark was ready.

With the completion of the first step, the previous magic had all been integrated into the magic card.

This time, he tapped the card's surface with the magic energy pen. With the inflow of magic energy, dozens of magic circles popped up instantly. Centered around the magic card, they appeared on the same plane, forming a ring!

Dark first picked up a [Phantom Magic Beast: Eevee] and placed it on the gray magic circle representing Bird & Beast-type normal attribute.

Then he picked up [Trash Slime] and placed it on the green magic circle representing plant-type grass attribute, followed by inspect-type rock-attributed [Shuckle];

Bird & Beast-type light-attributed [Gatomon];

Bird & Beast-type normal-attributed [Miltank];

Bird & Beast-type fairy-attributed [Sylveon];

Element-type normal-attributed [Phantom Magic Beast: Ditto];

Bird & Beast-type fighting/flying-attributed [Hawlucha];

Bird & Beast-type water-attributed [Popplio];

And finally, demon-type shadow-attributed [Curse Cage: DemiDevimon]!

There were ten magical spirit cards in total.

After placing the ten magical spirit cards on top of the ten magic circles, Dark used the magic energy pen to remove the remaining magic circles one by one, and then triggered the next process.

The ten magic circles gradually began to rotate, and started to revolve around the semi-finished magic card, until it actually formed a galaxy map!

...

At this point, Dark had an unusually strong anticipation for this half-finished magic card.

What kind of magic card will it be that even the final completion process also needs to collect such a huge amount of information?

It seems that it is somewhat similar to the [Zoo] card crafting method.

But [Zoo] obviously doesn't need such a complicated program.

Although the step of "gathering information" may not seem that difficult, the core of this magic card is how to process this information...

Where will it use this information?

But it's no use worrying.

I can only wait!

...

Time passed little by little.

The magic card was still running autonomously. It even made Dark wonder if it froze!

Dark tried his best to hold back his hand that was eager to move, and waited anxiously.

Until the clock struck midnight, the magic circles suddenly retracted!

As a result, ten magical spirit cards were scattered across the table.

"Is it over?"

But just when Dark thought that the final process was finally complete, a new magic circle appeared on the face of the magic card!

On the self-rotating magic circle, breathtaking landscapes, as well as some very modern amumsement park facilities, continued to emerge.

Ferris wheels, haunted houses, roller coasters, carousels, bumper cars, super splash...

But in the end, the scenes of these facilities all disappeared, leaving an empty fountain square on the magic circle.

Eventually, even this fountain also vanished!

The magic circle shrank rapidly.

After the semi-finished magic card emitted a final burst of bright light, it settled into calm.

The card was completed successfully!

...

After holding back his excitement for two minutes, Dark finally picked up the card.

The card face of the magic card had been formed, and it was actually an amusement park scene with a huge Ferris wheel as the background and a carousel at the front!

The park was quiet and peaceful under the dark night, and the flickering neon lights provided the only remaining light for the park.

The carousel, which was covered with colorful lights, rotated slowly with silent music.

The Ferris wheel behind the background blended into the night, only half of it still lit.

There were also undulating hills in the far background.

The moment Dark infused his magic energy into it, a huge amount of information came back to him, stunning him for a moment.

This was also a field spell card.

And it was [Wonderland], an upgraded card built upon the foundation of the card [Zoo]!

This field spell card, named by Claire as Wonderland, was a unique field spell card she created after so many years of travel.

It was just that Claire's own [Wonderland] was a natural wonderland that included grasslands, forests, mountains, canyons, lakes and other elements.

But the theme of Dark’s [Wonderland] was an amusement park.

What was even more incredible was that his [Wonderland] has not yet been finalized!

After it was crafted, it had a total of seven opportunities to re-adjust the input information, including the initial information collection!

It meant that he had six opportunities left.

This meant that this [Wonderland] was only version 1.0, and it could be upgraded to version 2.0, version 3.0, and even version 7.0!

...

With Dark's current knowledge, he simply couldn’t imagine how Claire did it.

"Is this the real strength of the heroes who have been praised by people since the war?"

Dark suddenly gained a deeper understanding of the real strength of those "heroes".

He glanced at his bedroom and activated [Wonderland] indoors!

There were generally two ways to activate the field spell card. One was to fully activate it, the other was to partially activate it.

The magic energy stored in the field spell card usually would last only about three minutes.

After that, the magister would need to use their own magic energy to maintain it.

And of course, a partial activation would consume a lot less magic energy.

Naturally, there were also field spell cards like Claire's [Zoo] that could form an energy cycle with the Bird & Beast-type magical spirits in the field, and had an "energy saving mechanism" that could absorb external energy to replenish itself.

The [Wonderland] in Dark's hands was of this type.

Once activated, it could last for more than half an hour.

After activation, if he continued to inject a certain amount of magic energy, it would be very easy for him to keep it running for 24 hours.

And just like the [zoo], it could also allow those magical spirits that made up the energy cycle to appear in the field for a long time.

It was just that the magical spirits that could form an energy cycle with the [Wonderland] field could only be the ten that had their information collected by the Wonderland!

As Dark partially activated the [Wonderland], the light from the magic card instantly illuminated the entire bedroom, and a carousel quickly appeared on the open space beside the bed.
