The villain young master just wants to live a Buddhist life Chapter 091

Released on June 12, 2025

“Welcome to St. Marian Academy!”

In the magnificent hall, sacred hymns soared, and the velvety black curtain slowly parted. Stepping onto the stage was the most beautiful and noble lady of St. Marian Academy—Headmistress Cynthia St. Artemis!

The nine great spirits surrounding the Archmage materialized into flowers and fireflies, rendering the stage dreamy and ethereal.

Four lavishly decorated long tables were set in the hall, illuminated by thousands of candles floating in mid-air above them.

The candlelight reflected off the golden plates and silver goblets, refracting a dazzling array of colors, like a dream.

By the time Dark Demon came to his senses, he was already standing on the stage, with Headmistress Artemis, exuding a fragrant aura, by his side.

Memories flooded his mind like a flowing stream.

Dark recalled his past life’s memories.

“St. Marian Academy… isn’t this the academy from that ultimate hodgepodge Galgame that was slammed before release, but then everyone clamored for it after it came out?”

Duel! St. Marian Super XX Academy!

In the Galgame industry, where budgets were universally poured into exquisite character art while story suffered from crude writing, Duel! St. Marian Super XX Academy could be considered a rare breath of fresh air.

Although its plot framework was almost entirely copied from Harry Potter, its power system borrowed (plagiarized) from card games like Yu-Gi-Oh!, and the characters on its duel cards were even derived from various popular anime, the various elements unexpectedly combined to form an interesting game.

Even without pursuing the female characters in the game, one could still derive immense enjoyment from this game.

For a long time, Duel! St. Marian Super XX Academy even became a “card-playing launcher,” with various modified versions sweeping the domestic pirated game scene.

However, Dark, with a heart full of righteousness, firmly upheld his morals and resolutely avoided this trashy game of plagiarism + piracy + H. Thus, he had only heard rumors about some of its settings and plot.

He vaguely remembered that the final boss of this game seemed to be a noble young master named Dark Demon.

As the sole son of a duchess, Dark Demon played the role of Draco Malfoy in the game, serving as an early antagonist who opposed the protagonist in the academy. Later, it was suddenly revealed that he was a descendant of a demon god. Finally, after the resurrected Demon King was defeated, his bloodline awakened, transforming him into the final Great Demon God, also giving the protagonist the opportunity to defeat him and seize his fiancée!

Speaking of which, Dark Demon was truly a naturally tragic character. Even his name translated to “Dark Demon,” practically a clown destined for tragedy from the very beginning, Emmm…

Wait, why did that name sound so familiar?

Dark Demon’s face gradually turned pale.

…

“Dark Demon, Dark Demon…”

A warm and comforting voice calling him freed Dark from his shock.

He struggled to control the trembling muscles in his face and turned towards Headmistress Artemis.

Headmistress Artemis had silver hair as pure and flawless as moonlight, and beneath her long eyelashes were blue eyes that seemed to draw one’s soul into them.

As a conquerable character in the game, she was the moon of St. Marian, the most beautiful symbol. Her luxurious gown, tailored two sizes smaller than her actual size, made the silver moon pendant hanging on her chest appear exceptionally white.

Dark realized he was at the St. Marian Academy’s opening banquet, as the first freshman to appear for the academy’s house sorting ceremony.

He tried hard to recall his experiences after his rebirth.

After his past life’s memories returned, his memories of this life became blurred.

But combining them with the original Harry Potter setting, he finally remembered.

St. Marian Academy was the only academy in the kingdom that could rival the Sacred Rites Academy. The academy itself was divided into four houses.

These four houses were: the Noble House, the Knight House, the Mage House, and the Fool’s House.

Students of the Noble House were all pure-blooded nobles of distinguished status.

Students of the Knight House were all brave and righteous like knights.

Students of the Mage House were inheritors of knowledge, learned and wise.

Though students of the Fool’s House did not yet possess the bravery of knights or the wisdom of mages, they were innocent and pure, possessing the greatest potential!

Dark was not overly nervous about this.

Before the awakening of the demon god bloodline, even the academy’s sorting card should not be able to detect it.

He was the Duke’s son, the most noble bloodline below the royal family!

He would undoubtedly be assigned to the Noble House.

Otherwise, this crappy game wouldn’t be able to proceed from the start…

Having calmed down, Dark glanced at the first-year students’ seating area, but it was difficult to find someone resembling the original protagonist among the dense crowd of heads.

So Dark realized—he didn’t even know the original protagonist’s name!

But it didn’t matter. Since he was the son of the hero who sealed the Demon King, he would soon stand out like a firefly in the night.

Dark took a deep breath and said, “Headmistress, I’m ready.”

“As expected of the sole son of the Demon family,” Headmistress Artemis smiled slightly.

Among the nine spirits flying around her, a small griffin-like spirit flew towards Dark.

When it reached Dark, a blank magic card, with a crown, lance, grimoire, and the Tarot card [The Fool] on the back, and a blank front, had appeared in its previously empty beak.

“Take the sorting card in your hand, Demon.”

Following Headmistress Artemis’s instruction, Dark took the magic card from the small spirit’s beak.

“Now, place this sorting card in your left hand, covered by your right hand. Think about what you like, what you desire, and the sorting card will guide you.”

“Alright, Headmistress.”

Dark closed his eyes and began to imagine.

His knowledge of that game was truly limited. He only knew that as a villain BOSS who ran through the entire game, he would self-destruct after awakening his demon god bloodline.

And the awakening of the demon god bloodline seemed to be on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony.

Before the demon god bloodline awakened, although he was at odds with the original protagonist, it was all minor squabbles, not yet reaching the point of life or death.

His fiancée—the most popular female character in the game—only despaired of him after he transformed into a demon god, thus giving the original protagonist an opportunity to take advantage.

So, as long as he could find a way to suppress the power of the demon god bloodline before his coming-of-age ceremony, he would still be the Duke’s son, not only high-ranking and powerful, but also with a fiancée who would stick by him despite his many flaws!

…

Perhaps everything wasn’t so bad after all?

…

Dazzling white light overflowed from his palm. Dark felt the sorting card emitting heat, as if it were printing.

Headmistress Artemis’s gentle voice sounded again: “Demon, raise the sorting card and show this year’s new students how to properly perform the sorting ceremony.”

“Alright, Headmistress.”

Dark moved his right hand and saw that the sorting card indeed displayed the crown, symbolizing nobility.

He then raised the sorting card high, infused it with magic, and activated it.

Bang!

Points of light, like fireworks, suddenly shot out, forming a giant golden crown in the air.

The sorting card shouted: “Dark Demon, Noble House!”

“Oh oh oh!”

Cheers gradually erupted from the long table where the other students of the Noble House were seated in the hall!

“Dark Demon, the sole son of the Duke known as the Valkyrie, has indeed been assigned to our house!”

“OMG!”

It seemed the young master was quite popular in the Noble House?

Dark’s lips curved slightly, and he lowered his hand.
