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

　After a period of peaceful life, a person's psychological age often increases significantly.

　After returning to school on the magical motorcycle, Witt suddenly recalled his many experiences at the academy during his first year.

　At the time, everything that happened seemed to make sense. But looking back now, most of it seems terribly naive!

　Within those childish aspects, some are so childish as to be extremely so that they could have a very negative impact on his future.

　In short, he began to regret his commitment to join the "Marine Biology Research Department".

　……

　A decision made on a whim at the time.

　Looking back now, it seems more like a decision made on a whim.

　Although the senior students in the "Marine Biology Research Department" did provide him with a lot of help in relieving his psychological pressure at the time.

　But upon reflection, that's all the help I could offer.

　The "Marine Biology Research Department" is, in essence, just a place where people stick together for warmth.

　It won't bring him any real improvement.

　If he wants to rely on the club's resources to develop and improve himself at a faster pace, so as to achieve his original goal of catching up with Dak, he absolutely cannot waste his energy on the "Marine Biology Research Department".

　Now he has his mother, who is the Blood Princess, guiding him in terms of knowledge—although they can't meet all the time, it's always helpful.

　Therefore, what is still lacking is only the material aspect.

　Joining a suitable large community is a good way to solve material difficulties.

　Of course, this is contingent on breaking the promise and withdrawing from the "Marine Biology Research Department".

　This made him hesitate.

　“Robert, you were just hanging out with me, you never officially said you wanted to join the Marine Biology Research Department, so you should choose a better club to join. I think the sports club would be a good fit for you,” Witt said.

　Robert pondered, "It's said that 80% of the members of the sports club are senior students from the Knights Academy, which is indeed quite suitable for us."

　Witt quickly corrected, "It suits you!"

　He didn't want to spend all his time sweating alongside those muscle-bound lumps.

　“Okay, then that suits me,” Robert said. “But if I join the sports club, what about you? Still hanging out in that seafood cult?”

　Witt shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't know."

　Just then, he saw the wooden sign that Dak had set up!

　This made him stop, and then he read it out slowly and deliberately: "The Fantastic Beasts Society, Robert!"

　He grabbed Robert's arm suddenly and asked, "Am I seeing things?"

　"What did I see wrong?" Robert looked up blankly and saw the sign.

　But his gaze was more focused on the fox-like beast behind the signboard.

　"What a beautiful magical elf..."

　"It's the Fantastic Beasts Company, Robert!"

　"Okay, I know, you're hurting me!"

　"The Fantastic Beasts Club is my dad's club!"

　Witt murmured to himself, and as he started again, his speed increased involuntarily.

　Shortly afterward, he appeared before Dark Dimon with Robert.

　Looking at Dark inside the stall, Witt peered inside suspiciously, and then spotted Diana and Rose.

　However, they are basically inseparable from Dak, so it wouldn't be surprising if they were really here.

　But the question is, why is Dark sitting at the recruitment desk of the "Fantastic Beasts Society"?

　Witt's mind went blank for a moment, and he froze on the spot.

　Robert, who was a step slower to stop, asked curiously, "Dark, you created the club yourself?"

　“Yeah,” Darke looked up and smiled. “What’s wrong, Robert? Didn’t you join the sports club?”

　Robert scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Why are you mentioning the sports club too? It makes it sound like I'm all muscle and no brains! I'm a mage, you know!"

　Dark laughed and turned the page, saying, "So what kind of club did you join? Witt should be quite popular."

　Robert shrugged and said in an exaggerated manner, "This is it! It's so popular that we're still considering it!"

　Dark nodded and asked, "So, what about you? Are you waiting for Witt to make his choice before applying to join the same club? That might not be the right fit for you."

　Robert turned his gaze to Diana and Rose, gestured with his chin, and said, "But aren't they in the same club as you?"

　Dark tapped the table, a confident look on his face: "But this is the perfect club for them."

　Upon hearing this, Diana and Rose both smiled.

　Clearly, they believed this when they declined invitations from the sports club and the astrology club.

　This shows the trust that Darko Dimon can take on an entire group single-handedly!

　……

　Robert opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but in his heart he felt that it was indeed true.

　He couldn't help but look at Witt Gold beside him.

　Witt's short-circuited brain only reconnected at this moment, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, Dark, this is the club you founded? But the Fantastic Beasts Club isn't..."

　"Knock knock knock!" The fox demon suddenly knocked hard on the word "Restart" on the sign.

　Witt subconsciously turned his head and stared at the word "reboot" for a long time before muttering, "Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't I think of that?"

　"Ahem!" Dark coughed to get attention and said, "Witt, if you haven't decided which club you want to join yet, I personally recommend sports..."

　“Skip that!” Witt said immediately. “Compared to those clubs, I’d much rather join the Fantastic Beasts Club. So, what are the recruitment requirements?”

　What shouldn't have come has finally arrived.

　Dark sighed inwardly.

　Even if he were out of his mind, he wouldn't be stupid enough to recruit the "Son of Hero" into the club.

　But since Witt specifically asked, let's let him give up completely.

　So he grinned and said, "The conditions are there, but they're not difficult."

　Witt asked, somewhat excitedly, "What are the conditions?"

　Dark said in a gentle tone, "Because it is the Fantastic Beasts Club, the members of the club must first and foremost be compassionate and love small animals."

　Witt's eyes lit up, and he said, "I definitely fit the bill. I even had a stray dog ​​when I was little."

　Dark closed his eyes and then opened them again, asking, "So, what about now?"

　Witt asked in surprise, "What now?"

　Dark asked, "How's your stray dog ​​doing now?"

　Witt's expression became hesitant.

　Even Robert couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did it go?"

　After hesitating for a long time, Witt finally smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. I was just a child when I found the stray dog. I only have a vague memory of feeding it. As for where it went after that, I have no idea."

　"Ah."

　After listening carefully, Dark nodded and said, "The second requirement is a sense of responsibility. Our club studies magical creatures, not inanimate objects. If a magical creature escapes, we will catch it, even if it takes two or three months!"

　Witt asked himself honestly and felt that he was quite responsible, so he said, "Of course, that's no problem."

　Dark smiled and had no choice but to use his trump card: "The third requirement is that you have maternal love."

　Witt: "(′`)??"

　……

　When Witt Gold and Robert Broheim left, looking completely bewildered, Dak finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　But Rose, who was behind him, couldn't help but ask, "Is what you're asking for true?"

　Darke chuckled and said, "What do you think?"

　Rose sat upright, but couldn't discern his thoughts, so she shook her head and said, "I don't know."

　Instead, Diana nudged her arm and pointed at the "Primordial Dragon Egg," saying, "Of course it's real! You have to hatch it!"

　"To...hatch an egg?" Rose was even more confused. "But isn't that Dark's magical sprite?"

Chapter 553 Darkdemon Cannot Adapt (10k)

　Although the downpour had stopped, the ground was still damp, and footsteps could be clearly heard.

　Katrina and Britney both looked up at almost the same time when they heard the sound.

　Being able to join the Oddity Animals Club founded by Darkdemon was actually very fortunate for them.

　Among the third-year students this year, there are no exceptional individuals like Winiscathy, Pandora, or Drogon yet; they are relatively mediocre compared to the other grades.

　But even among them, Katrina and Britney are not considered top students.

　In comparison, Katrina Isiah's performance was actually quite good. But Britney Christian's performance was only considered below average.

　They were not qualified to be recruited by large organizations in the first place.

　Because of limited resources and the need for centralized allocation, large organizations usually consciously control the number of new members they recruit.

　For example, the literary society only recruits four new members each year.

　Only the most outstanding individuals are selected by the literary society.

　Katrina and Britney clearly do not qualify.

　As a second-best option, a newly established club with great potential, like the Oddity Club, is the best choice they can find.

　Katrina took this into consideration, which is why she volunteered.

　After reflecting on her experiences, Britney realized her own good fortune and began to feel a sense of belonging.

　"It seems Florty's test went very well?"

　Katrina temporarily closed the book and got up to greet him.

　Thanks to their three-day shared journey, she became fairly familiar with Diana and Rose.

　"Senior Isaiah, just call me Rose."

　"Then you can call me Katrina too."

　"And me, Diana!"

　With Katrina's proactive approach, the three quickly regained their familiarity.

　Dark approached Britney and introduced her to Diana and Rose.

　A few minutes later, Dark waved his hand and said, "Now that everyone's here, let's set off!"

　……

　The group skillfully navigated the hub of the lakeside pavilion into the traveler's street, then found a high-end restaurant, sat down, and began ordering food.

　Traveler's Street is bustling tonight. Second-year students who passed the Duel Club's assessment are coming in groups of three or five to celebrate, and some clubs will also be hosting a welcome party for the newcomers tonight.

　If they had arrived any later, they probably wouldn't have been able to reserve any seats.

　The five members of the club were already acquainted with each other by strangers, so they chatted as if they were old friends.

　Although Katrina preferred to read quietly alone in a corner, her social skills were quite good, and she easily blended in.

　Britney's social skills are practically nonexistent; she rarely initiates conversations and mostly just passively answers questions.

　Fortunately, with Diana, who is naturally outgoing, there was a subtle consensus between the two on their shared love of "teddy bears," making their conversation flow even more smoothly.

　Furthermore, Diana did learn some knitting during her vacation. Although she never quite got it right, it was a good opportunity to learn from Britney.

　Meanwhile, Rose, who enjoys reading novels and biographies, and Katrina, who reads everything, happened to be chatting together.

　As for Dakdimon, he was naturally knowledgeable and had a good memory, and spoke eloquently, always able to chime in on anything.
