The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Dak invited the professors inside, made them tea, and then they sat down for a chat.

　Of course, he spent most of his attention on the "god of wisdom".

　The reason this "God of Wisdom" can now openly follow Professor Kazel is because Professor Kazel, through analyzing its divine power, specifically created an aura-shielding device.

　Moreover, the matter of the "God of Wisdom" was only known to a very small circle. Apart from those present, only Principal Arte, Alvit, Claire, and Irene knew about it.

　In fact, no normal person would ever imagine that the blonde girl following Professor Kazel was actually a god!

　If Dark's "Intelligence-Giving Experiment" succeeds, they could even have the "God of Wisdom" disguised as an ordinary student and directly learn and grow at St. Marian Academy.

　Yes, growth.

　The divine body of this "God of Wisdom" was regenerated from a heart, and her divine soul was re-condensed from the rules, so it is natural that she could not have memories of her previous life.

　Once Dark successfully imbues it with intelligence (consciousness), it is tantamount to possessing it.

　When the soul, body, and consciousness are united, the "God of Wisdom" approaches completeness and naturally there is no longer any possibility of restoring the original consciousness.

　But in doing so, she would have to start learning from scratch to acquire the knowledge that a "god of wisdom" should possess.

　However, for the "goddess of wisdom," learning is like an instinct, and there is no need to worry about whether she can grow up.

　"I just don't know what the specific rules she knows are."

　Dark couldn't help but think.

　He was eager to know this, but Professor Cazell didn't bring it up, and he didn't know if it was because they hadn't figured it out yet.

　The authority of the "God of Wisdom" is actually very broad, and it is impossible to guess it by mere speculation.

　Moreover, obvious characteristics such as "photographic memory" and "superb comprehension" are merely derivative abilities possessed by all "gods of wisdom."

　"It shouldn't be some minor or bizarre rule. After all, her heart alone is enough to restore the monsters in the dungeon to themselves."

　"Thinking about it this way, it's possible that the inverted equivalence is governed by similar rules to those imposed by my intellect."

　"I really want to know!"

　Dark muttered to himself, glancing at Ergani more and more frequently.

　……

　“DakDak”.

　"Ok?"

　Dark turned his head slightly and saw Aurora poking his hand while glancing at the "God of Wisdom." He suddenly realized that she didn't know anything about the "God of Wisdom."

　"Hmm... Telling her shouldn't be a problem, right?" Dark thought to himself, and then looked at Professor Cazell.

　Professor Cazell smiled and nodded when he saw him looking at him.

　Dak immediately understood and whispered to Aurora about the "god of wisdom".

　If you had told her about the "god of wisdom" before exploring the temple, she would have been so surprised she could have swallowed an egg. But now, after the temple trip, especially after that "lucid dream," her acceptance of "the god being by her side" has clearly increased significantly.

　Of course, there were still plenty of surprises.

　“Oh, I see.” Aurora lowered her head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “No wonder her hair color was exactly the same as Dark’s…”

　Dak smiled and continued the conversation.

　At this moment, Professor Lily was loudly boasting about her performance and gains during her trip to the temple, which made Victor, who had returned early, extremely envious.

　Professor Cazell looked at her, and there was something different in his eyes.

　But it must be said that the trip to the temple was made so successful thanks to Professor Lily.

　……

　5:50.

　Professor Sylph finished her tea and stood up, saying, "It's about time, let's go. Eve, come on over."

　Eve paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

　So the group left the "All-People Duel Club Branch" and walked towards the "Secret Base" while chatting and laughing.

　Dak walked in the middle, seemingly lost in thought.

　Professor Sylph did not state the purpose of this gathering, but he felt it was unlikely to be as simple as just exchanging information.

　Now that the matter of the "Demon King" has been temporarily settled, and the arrangements of the "God of Wisdom" are on track, it's time for them, who were involved in the whole affair, to form an organization.

　……

　"Secret hideout," but the address is anything but secret.

　Although it was Dak's first time here, he still spotted the "Secret Base" shop door at a glance.

　Yes, there are neon lights welded above the shop door, dazzling and eye-catching.

　"It's not a secret at all!" Witt couldn't help but complain.

　Although Dak shared the same feeling, he did not say it.

　However, the access to this "secret hideout" is indeed very strict. The red-eyed rat head embedded in the door seems to be able to see through the illusion and disguise and distinguish the identities of students and professors.

　At this time, there weren't many professors entering or leaving the "secret hideout"; Dark and his group were practically all the customers in the shop.

　Professor Sylph walked straight in, and the red-eyed rat head immediately closed its eyes. Dak glanced at it curiously a few times before entering the bar as well.

　The bar was dimly lit, and the bartender behind the counter was dressed in a suit and had a small mustache, looking every bit the gentleman.

　Professor Sylph struck up a conversation with him with surprising ease, while Professor Mitis smiled and led everyone to the reserved private room.

　The private rooms in the "Secret Base" are equipped with soundproof barriers to ensure that sound does not escape.

　However, this soundproof barrier is useless to those who really want to eavesdrop.

　So after Professor Mitia entered the private room, she reset the spell barrier.

　The round table inside the private room was already set with fruit platters, drinks, and pastries.

　Everyone found seats and sat down.

　Dakra pulled out a chair and invited Aurora to sit beside him. Then he took her a cup, asked softly, and poured her her favorite black tea.

　Aurora's face flushed slightly, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Dak pouring tea for the others.

　There were fifteen people gathered in the private room. Apart from the thirteen who had traveled to the City of Freedom together, there was only Professor Kazel and Ergani, the "Goddess of Wisdom".

　Dak walked around the dining table once before finally arriving in front of the "Goddess of Wisdom," hesitating whether to pour her tea.

　Professor Kazel used magic to raise the chair, sat down, and said, "I'll have black tea."

　Dak then poured a cup of black tea for the "God of Wisdom".

　Unexpectedly, as soon as he poured the tea, Ergane raised her hands expressionlessly, held the teacup, and took a small sip.

　That cautious look was somehow damn cute.

　"Indeed, there's no time to lose." Dak took a breath and put the teapot back. It seemed that the experiment of granting intelligence was now urgent.

　……

　A moment later, Professor Sylph entered, accompanied by a waiter pushing a food cart.

　"Just leave the food cart here, you don't need to come back again."

　She waved the two waiters away, then turned around, closed the door, and locked it.

　Ollie got up and walked over, casting a heat-keeping spell on the dining table before starting to serve the food.

　Angry silently got up to help.

　Eve was about to follow when Professor Sylph stopped her: "Can you get in touch with Alvitt?"

　Eve nodded and said, "Yes, that's fine."

　Professor Sylph said, "Tell her we'll have a meeting later."

　Eve looked at Dark, who smiled at her and said, "They should still be at the manor, right? Call Aunt Claire too."

　“Mm,” Eve responded, and then used the “Telepathic Connection” technique to communicate with Irene, who was thousands of miles away.

　While dining in the Duke's mansion, Alvitt, after receiving Irene's message, asked with some curiosity, "What does Sylph want to do?"

　Claire thought for a moment and said, "I can guess some of it. It seems we have a chance to form a real alliance with the Academy."

　After a moment's thought, Alvit said, "In the past, this would definitely have been a good thing. But now... it seems the academy is also feeling the pressure."

　Claire shook her head and said, "After all, it involves God. Who wouldn't feel pressured?"

　"Whenever I talk about these things, I can't help but think of Eliza and Charles," said Arvit.

　Claire asked, "What?"

　"They are still fighting for the throne, but the gods are coming," said Arvit.

　……

　Professor Sylph did not immediately invite Alvitaria to join the meeting. After all, it was dinner time, and they should finish their meal first.

　After she sat down, she asked Dark, "Have you already made contact?"

　Dark smiled and said, "Yes, I recounted the entire trip to the temple."

　Professor Sylph nodded and said, “You did a good job. I didn’t expect such a great threat to be hidden in that temple. I originally thought it was just a place like an ordinary temple, and since it was part of the Free City’s territory, I didn’t make any preparations. Now that I think about it, I was really negligent. I’ve seen that snake before; Kazel said it was a being no less powerful than the ‘God of Wisdom.’”

　Professor Cazell: "That's what I'm saying, but it's not necessarily true."

　Dark smiled. Professor Kazel's "Eye of Truth" could see even more than his own.

　Since he said so, then it's probably true.

　However, he still raised his doubts, saying, "But there is no primordial divinity in the remains of that snake."

　Professor Kazel said, "What you call the Root Divinity is actually the remnant of the divine soul. Most gods leave a wisp of their soul in the statues in their temples. As they die, that wisp of soul withers away, and what remains is the Root Divinity."

　Dark frowned and said, "Then shouldn't there be more primordial divinity remaining in the remains of the gods?"

　Professor Cazell: "I've heard Lily mention this before. She said you once speculated that the 'Sun-Devouring Lion' and the 'Moon-Eating Wolf' became gods by absorbing the divine power of that giant serpent. I think your idea is correct. The primordial divinity remaining in the remains should have been absorbed by them. Of course, it's also possible that the giant serpent's soul truly and completely perished without a trace. Although gods are always in a cycle of rebirth and death, after each Ragnarok, there are always gods whose names disappear forever. Or perhaps it's one of them."

　Dark couldn't help but ask, "If it's the latter, does that mean that no matter what method is used, it's impossible to reunite his soul?"

　Professor Cazell said, "That's right."

　"That's a real shame," Dark said.

　Professor Kazel smiled and said, "It's a pity it didn't retain a trace of its original divinity. Otherwise, if that 'Oil Serpent' had absorbed it, it might have become a god immediately."

　Dark said, "Has that 'oil serpent' really already taken one foot towards godhood?"

　Professor Kazel nodded and said, "Half-step into godhood."

　Then he turned to Aurora and said, “I already know from Lily about your dreams. Since that ‘Oil Serpent’ is close to you, I will try my best to help you subdue it and then help it become a god. We cannot take what belongs to the City of Freedom for nothing. Let’s exchange this for the giant serpent’s remains and the two halves of a god statue.”

　Aurora thanked her repeatedly, knowing that this was a result she had longed for.

　But Professor Cazell added, "However, we have more important things to do, so that matter will have to be postponed. For now, we can only make an empty promise."

　“If Professor Kazel says so, then there’s definitely no problem,” Dark said. “Also, now that the professor knows about the Moon Goddess, could you, after you’re done with your work, help us figure out how to create an item that can extract and store the Root Divinity?”

　Professor Kazel smiled and said, "Of course. In fact, I've been researching topics related to divine power lately. If we use the method of making shielding devices, we should be able to create a container that meets your requirements."

　Darke said, "Thank you, Professor."

　Professor Cazell shook his head and smiled, "We're the ones who should be saying thank you. Come on, let's eat, or it'll get cold."

　As he spoke, he took the lead and started eating.

　Everyone present had fought the "Demon King" together, so they were naturally not reserved.

　After dinner, everyone had learned about their experiences, and the gathering finally got down to business.

　Professor Sylph instructed Eve to project the "Spiritual Connection" technique.

　Alvitt and Claire joined the party.
