This meaning couldn’t be more obvious.

Dark could almost imagine what she would say next.

Sure enough, Claire curled her lips and said, “Then you must first thoroughly read these five books.”

Dark pulled out a book with a bitter face and looked at it.

→ The Beast Sage Leads You into a Magical World—Dancing with Beasts!

Signed: Claire Kate.

Dark’s mouth twitched.

“Why the long face? This is my famous work.”

Claire sat down beside Dark and added calmly, “Published in fourth grade.”

Dark: “!”

Claire pressed another book on top of Dancing with Beasts, emphasizing, “Field cards and spell cards are different. You can’t just try your luck by learning a bit of magic language. You must have a relatively complete basic understanding of what you are pursuing.”

Dark glanced at it. It was a book called Mysteries of Avian and Beast Species—Unknown Strange Ecologies.

The remaining three books were Advanced Magic Language: Resurrected Characters, Complete Analysis of Field Card Elements, and Magic Circulation and Efficient Utilization.

Claire said, “Mastery of knowledge doesn’t happen overnight. You digest these five books first, and then we’ll talk about the inheritance.”

Dark keenly caught the keyword: “Inheritance?”

“Of course, it’s an inheritance.” Claire rolled her eyes. “Otherwise, you want to freeload? If you learn my things, you’re my person. The future development of the Beast Sage lineage depends on you.”

Dark couldn’t help but make an “O” shape with his mouth.

To be honest.

Claire had indeed hit the nail on the head.

Dark’s initial thought was to “freeload.”

As for the “Beast Sage lineage inheritance,” he had no such intention. He wanted the [Zoo] card not because of his interest in animal-themed decks, but to nurture [Bond]!

Whether on the battlefield or in a match, summoning one step faster could reverse advantages and disadvantages.

In short, it was the scumbag thought of wanting to eat meat but not wanting to take responsibility.

But at this moment, Dark certainly couldn’t expose his scumbag potential.

He wrinkled his small face and nodded bitterly.

Claire suddenly leaned in close, forehead to forehead, nose to nose, breathing in and out, pinching Dark’s face with both hands, pulling hard outwards: “Do you know how many people want to join my lineage? And you’re still unwilling?”

Dark: “Willing, willing!”

If he wasn’t willing, he’d turn into a cat!

(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

The Beast Sage lineage was thinly populated, and Dark was fortunate enough to become the first successor, for which he was immensely grateful.

Next.

He began his studies under Claire’s guidance.

Claire mainly helped him sort out the main outline of those five books, but more importantly, he had to study independently.

Fortunately, Dark’s “magic language” had already reached an initial level, otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to start.

…

The time for learning was always short.

In a blink of an eye, it was eleven o’clock at night.

Because the content of the books was too profound, even Dark felt drowsy reading them.

After eleven o’clock, he took a bath in Claire’s bathroom, enjoyed the premium service of [Bunny Girl] scrubbing his back, and then fell asleep in the room Claire had prepared in advance.

In his dream.

He dreamed again that he had turned into a cat.

Then he was trapped in a narrow space full of soft pads, constantly being squeezed, squeezed, and squeezed again.

…

On subsequent nights, Dark generally studied in Claire’s dormitory every night.

He had too much to learn.

In addition to those five books, there was also knowledge about [Spell Cage] and [Fusion] that he hadn’t fully mastered.

Although the days became tighter and tighter, with Claire’s help, he overcame many previously unsolved problems and made significant progress in his research on [Spell Cage] and [Fusion].

Gradually.

His towel, toothbrush, water cup, and changed clothes appeared in Claire’s dormitory…

And he also had a key to this dormitory.

…

Time flew by like a white steed, gone in a flash.

It felt like a blink of an eye, and it was already Friday’s dueling class.

This week, Dark had lived an extremely fulfilling life, so much so that he went to the library less often.

If he hadn’t marked it on his calendar, he would have almost forgotten about this competition.

But the rest of the first-year students were mostly working hard in secret.

Almost every afternoon and evening, the labs and library were filled with the shadows of first-year students.

Dark’s exclusive spot in the library had been completely occupied by Diana and Rose.

Whenever Emma looked up and didn’t see the back that always sat in front of her to her left, she would inexplicably feel a little lost.

One day, the senior student managing the library even specifically asked her about this, and she pouted, wanting to “ah ah ah” and show off her vocal mimicry to her.

As for Victor and Robert, they continued their daily detentions after class.

Their detention time started at four in the afternoon and lasted until eleven-thirty at night, after which they would be released back to their dormitories.

On the day they were detained.

They wrote letters of repentance under Professor Silf’s supervision.

On Tuesday evening, the next day, they were ordered to clean the toilets…

Wednesday, cleaning up lab residue.

Thursday, continuing to clean the toilets.

But besides these times, Madam Grace, the instructor, would supervise them in doing homework and reading.

Although it was forced, it was clearly better than letting them do as they pleased.

Under Madam Grace’s strict supervision, Victor and Robert’s academic performance even improved slightly.

Every night, they were exhausted like dogs.

And they had mastered the secret technique of “falling asleep as soon as they lie down on the bed.”

It was also during these few days.

Among the wild bat colonies that frequently appeared in the castle, some unusual individuals emerged.

They were cautious, only active late at night.

When encountering impassable areas, they would transform into black mist, squeezing through extremely small gaps.

Bats in their black mist state moved slowly but could completely blend into the night, making them extremely difficult to detect.

They clearly possessed intelligence, only targeting students with dull senses or those who were exhausted, and they would leave as soon as they had their fill.

Their fangs would release hormones that could numb pain.

The bite marks on the neck would also heal naturally after ten minutes, leaving no trace.

As the end of the first semester approached, although there were no exams, all grades except the first year had major projects to complete, and students became fatigued due to busy coursework.

The weakness after being bitten was also masked by that fatigue, making it difficult to detect.

…

Friday’s dueling class was held in Battle Arena ①.

Battle Arena ① was larger and better equipped than Dueling Arena ②.

Before eight o’clock, the first-year students, who had already received the notice, had already arrived at the battle arena.

Some were rubbing their fists, eager to try.

Others were dispirited, wanting to escape.

According to Professor Jones, the results and rankings of this in-class competition would be a clear summary of their learning achievements from the previous semester.

This made some poor students feel apprehensive.
