The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life
chapter-25

In general, [phantom magic beast], as the initial magical spirit card of the little magisters, would follow the expectations of the little magisters and change into corresponding races and attributes.

But no matter how it changed, it couldn't change the fact that it was still a one-star card, and the three data: magic/attack/defense were all 100, which was very weak.

Its commemorative significance was far greater than its practical significance.

When the magisters from Saint Marian Academy became stronger, they would usually treat [phantom magic beast] as treasures, but rarely used them in battles.

But Dark saw the possibility from his own [phantom magic beast]!

After all, "The difference in cognition determines the difference in using magic!"

‘Maybe this [phantom magic beast, Eevee] really had the characteristics of a Pokémon, the ability to evolve like real Pokémons?'

...

After thinking, Dark observed the classroom.

In the classroom, except for Dianna and Rose, who were slowly advancing like a snail, all the students' first productions ended in failure.

The difficulty in making [phantom magic beast] was that there were so many steps, and a mistake in any of the steps would lead to failure.

So, students needed to be very careful and steady.

This exactly was what Professor Cazer wanted to convey to them.

In the end, even after the class ending bell rang, no one else successfully completed all the steps.

Rose unfortunately also failed.

And Dianna was still moving slowly.

Professor Cazer humorously said, "Fortunately, you can continue to make the card in the classroom until the second attempt fails. By the way, the homework until the next class is to complete the production of a [phantom magic beast]. You can come to me to buy new materials. It will cost you 100 credits per pack. But there will be only one pack for each."

After he finished talking, he packed up the teaching materials, humming a little song and left.

...

Dark didn't leave immediately as he mainly wanted to see what other people's phantom magic beast would be like.

The second one who completed the product was Emma Mortis as Dark expected.

Emma was only one step slower than Dark, she completed the card five minutes after the class ending bell rang!

After completing the card, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and glance at Dark again.

Unlike Dark, who was very calm, she immediately used the [Normal Summoning Technique] after finishing her production, summoning the very first magical spirit in her life!

And it was---still an otter!

She seemed to like otters a lot. The front teeth of this otter were much bigger than her familiar spirit.

As for the third person who completed production, surprisingly, it turned out to be the little dummy Dianna!

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"

After Dianna was excited for a long time, she also summoned her [phantom magic beast].

——Not a silly giant but a snow-white polar bear!

It seemed that she did not care much on the surface, but in her heart she still hoped that she could be like other members of the Great Bayer family who had a tall and strong physique, as fierce as a polar bear!

Dark then looked at White and Robert on the other side.

Robert had completely ruined the second set of materials even before the class finished.

White had done a good job, and now he had reached the last step of drawing the magic refining circle No. 1.

Although he hadn't practiced much, his two hands were very stable.

Perhaps this was the talent of the hero.

At about the twelfth minute after class, White became the fourth person in the two Houses to finish the production!

Robert's face was red from excitement, looking much more excited than White.

And after White finished making the card, he immediately summoned his [phantom magic beast].

It turned out to be a glowing white stag!

This stag was obviously a Bird&Beast-type and its attribute was light, which was the opposite of White's familiar spirit's attribute.

Speaking of it, White was clearly the son of the hero but his familiar spirit was the same as Dark, with a demo-type and dark attribute!

Perhaps because of the rejection of the demo-type, White didn't release his familiar spirit very much, but Dark had seen it by chance. It seemed to be a cute knee-high Minotaur.

And Robert's familiar spirit was a mech-type, steel-attributed robot.

The robot had a round head and its multifunctional arms could transform into various tools while its lower body was a crawler wheel, which looked very useful.

Dark was quite envious of Robert's robot familiar spirit. An intelligence level of 2.5 was enough to serve as an experimental assistant!

...

After White succeeded, the little Rose failed again.

She looked frustrated, but not too disappointed, Dianna gave her her second materials, and the two began to prepare for the third production together.

Anyway, the first class in the afternoon wouldn't start until half past one so they still had a lot of time.

...

Ten past twelve.

After lunch, Dark returned to the bedroom.

Only then did he summon his phantom magic beast.

Phantom magic beast: Eevee (looks like a demon god)!

The appearance of this Eevee was less like an anime and more realistic.

Its appearance was more like a fox. Its originally small round face had become pointy, its furs had become more elegant, and its ears also gave off a "phantom beast" feeling.

"Vee?"

It tilted its head slightly as it made a confused noise.

It was very cute.

But its intelligence level was 2.0, which was quite a pity.

After trying to order Eevee to do basic operations such as "dodge", "rush forward", "lie down to reveal belly", "sit down and open legs", "back somersault", Dark took the precious [Pride Ⅰ] from his card pouch.

"I hope it will work. Magic summoning!"

Activating [Pride Ⅰ]!

A ball of dark golden light flew out with a long tail, and slammed into Eevee's forehead!

"Vee!"

Eevee subconsciously raised its hand to cover its forehead, and when it put them down, its eyes became cold.

Dark tried to pet it, but it avoided Dark with a look of disgust!

This kind of performance was extremely incredible!

Usually, magical spirits with an intelligence level of only 2.0 would completely obey the magister's order.

It was impossible for them to avoid the master's touch!

"So, for different individuals, the Pride manifestation is different?"

Thinking of DemiDevimon's Pride manifestation, Dark wrote the corresponding record in his notebook.

"Eevee, Shadow Ball!"

Eevee-chan glanced at him with a look of disgust.

"Eevee, wagging tail!"

Eevee-chan once again glanced at him with a look of disgust.

"Eevee, throw a temper!"

Eevee-chan only glanced at him with a look of disgust.

...

"The nature of the magic spirit card has not changed. There is only a fixed ultimate, [Copycat] that consumes 100 magic energy."

Dark stretched out his hand and scratched Eevee's chin. Although Eevee tried its best to lean back, it didn't do anything else.

"But from the point of view of performance, its life form is indeed slightly different. At least the level of intelligence has been improved, which is much smarter now!"

"It is the same with DemiDevimon."

"Perhaps this is the basic effect of the [Pride] series of magic cards."

"If [Pride Ⅰ] can be leveled up to [Pride Ⅱ], there should be further changes."

...

At ten past one in the afternoon, Dark headed to the potions classroom in advance, but encountered White, Robert, and Emma on the way.

‘They seemed to be arguing?'
