Less than two minutes later, Meow Meow stopped. But the log in its hand had already taken on the shape of a human body.
Although the surface is rough, it is very realistic.
Meow Meow added a few more strokes to the wooden face carving and then placed it in front of the window.
That face was so lifelike, it bore a striking resemblance to Maureen.
Maureen stared at the wooden carving, utterly speechless.
A few minutes later, having successfully received the quest, Meow Meow left the quest hall with an air of arrogance, leaving behind only the legend of Meow Meow.
……
Dark quickly learned what had happened from Impmon's retelling.
This made him abandon the idea of taking the magical elves with him to accept the mission.
If Meow Meow can successfully receive the mission, there's no reason why other magical spirits shouldn't be able to.
After listening, Gatomon suddenly asked, "So, can we talk when handing over the mission?"
Dak pondered for a moment, then nodded.
At this point, there is no point in forbidding the magical spirits from speaking outside.
Lifting the "silence order" will allow talking magical spirits to communicate with people more easily.
However, he added, "When choosing tasks, try to select short-term tasks that are within your capabilities. But don't be too afraid of failing a task; I will cover the academic credits."
He then spoke some instructions to a few of the magical sprites and let them roam freely.
As a result, Miss Bridges at window number 9 in the mission hall was greeted by more than a dozen magical sprites who came to inquire about and receive missions.
Then, she was startled when Gatomon spoke directly!
……
Magical spirits capable of speaking human language have existed before.
In fact, the vast majority of human species possess mature vocal organs.
But a magical spirit that can converse fluently with humans like Gatomon, Devimon, Leomon, and other magical spirits is something you'll never see for the first time.
Before the "Legend of Meow Meow" could even spread, more surprises have emerged recently.
If these magical spirits weren't owned by Dark Demon, they would certainly have attracted the attention of many.
Even so, some older students still cast their gazes at him.
Some people who thought they knew enough about Dark had been unnecessarily frightened.
Compared to the rumors that the magical spirits could come to them to accept missions on their own, the news that they could talk spread much faster.
Surprisingly, the students did not doubt this information.
Many people even had a feeling of "I knew it".
After all, Dark's magical elves not only eat in the cafeteria every day, but also frequently go to the library to borrow books—what's so surprising about a group of magical elves who can even read books and talk?
Yes.
All of this is "taken for granted".
The first-year students, who had only been in school for a little over half a month, even began to doubt the definitions and descriptions of magical spirits in their textbooks because of this.
"Who said magical spirits only have an intelligence level of 2?"
"Who says magical spirits don't have the ability to think for themselves?"
"Who says magical spirits can't talk?"
The established perceptions were overturned silently.
The professor teaching first-year magic theory is about to face an unprecedented challenge.
……
Sunday passed quickly.
The magical spirits frequently moved between the mission hall and the club classroom, creating a lively atmosphere.
They seemed to genuinely benefit from the task system; some magical spirits even completed one or two tasks on the same day, earning a considerable number of credits and gaining a deeper understanding of "rewards for labor."
The Fantastic Beasts Club's club points also broke through the zero mark.
As for the commotion they caused in the castle... that naturally didn't affect them.
However, when Dark returned to the Tower of the House of Nobles, he was "besieged" by a large number of people.
The upperclassmen kept asking him if the rumors were true or false, which caused him some trouble.
However, as Monday arrives, the students of St. Marian will eventually have to return to their classes, and these extracurricular activities will gradually be replaced by the troubles brought about by their studies.
……
The first class on Monday morning is Summoning.
Professor Sarah Sylph finally began to explain the knowledge related to "Ritual Summoning Spells", and also gave a certain amount of popular science about "Arcane Cards", which greatly benefited the young mages.
In the second period of the Magic Theory class, Professor Kazel smiled and glanced at Dark, then, based on the rampant rumors, talked about some content related to the intelligence of magical spirits.
He then proceeded to explain the relevant information about the "Dungeon Storage Box".
With reminders from the older students, the junior mages listened very attentively during this segment. Even Robert perked up and concentrated completely.
However, what attracted the students' attention the most was not the "Dungeon Storage Box"!
In the ten minutes before the end of the class, Professor Kazel wrote an extremely long list of materials on the blackboard.
Then he slowly said, "After today, there will only be one week of classes left until the end of September. I believe everyone has a basic understanding of the targeted crafting of Magic Spirit Cards. In this last week, I will guide everyone to complete the first targeted crafting. Please prepare all the materials on this list before next Monday."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the classroom instantly became lively.
Someone immediately raised their hand and asked, "Professor Kazel, can you tell us what kind of magical spirit we need to create next week?"
But Professor Cazell held his wand to his lips, unusually keeping everyone in suspense: "It's a secret. Of course, you can also deduce it from the materials."
After that person sat down, another girl raised her hand.
Professor Kazel granted permission.
The woman then asked timidly, "Professor, what if I don't have enough credits to buy materials?"
Professor Cazell chuckled and said, "You're already second-year students. Most of the college's systems are open to you, and there are many ways to earn credits. I think if you look carefully, you should be able to collect all the credits by Monday."
After this question and answer, several students who only now realized they didn't have enough credits turned pale instantly.
Dark glanced to the side and saw that Witt and Robert's faces were extremely ugly. He couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "Forgive me, forgive me."
He recalled seeing these two classmates in the "All-People Duel Club" shop yesterday morning.
They were... opening card packs back then?
……
"But the materials needed for this in-class experiment were indeed quite expensive."
After copying the complete list of materials, Dak quickly assessed the total price of the materials.
Surprisingly, the price of this material exceeded 800 credits!
Eight hundred credits, although not a lot compared to the reserves at Darke.
But for the average student, it is a very large number.
It's likely that more than half of the students in this classroom don't have enough credits.
However, most students, even if they don't have enough credits, should be close to it.
After that, you only need to go to the mission hall to accept one or two missions to accumulate enough credits.
Professor Kazel likely wanted to use this opportunity to let them familiarize themselves with the task handover process.
It can be said that they put a lot of thought into it.
……
What should be done about students whose credit scores differ too much?
What else can we do but take on a few more missions?
……
Monday afternoon's class is "Potions."
Professor Thompson specifically brought up the methods for making "Mana Recovery Potions" and "Mana Speed Potions" again, and then went into further detail about the methods for making higher-level "Mana Recovery Potions" and "Mana Speed Potions".
However, the higher the grade of these two potions, the greater the requirement for precise manipulation of magic power.
It would be difficult for a second-year student to complete the project.
Not to mention refining these two potions into a magic card—that would obviously be even more difficult!
However, if you want to engage in prolonged battles in the dungeon, this type of potion or potion card is absolutely necessary.
According to Professor Thompson, no matter how difficult it is, it must be completed.
This will determine how far they can go in the dungeon!
……
"Jingle Bell!"
As soon as the "Potions" course ended, the second-year students flocked to the mission hall without prior arrangement.
The task handover system under the student union is open 24 hours a day from Monday to Sunday, with college staff handling the reception most of the time. However, student union members take turns on weekends.
The staff were not surprised by the enthusiasm of the second-year students.
This wave of enthusiasm typically occurs around this time of year. However, very few students manage to maintain it consistently.
Of course, while some students were striving for credits, Dak Dimon was studying diligently in the library, and also reviewing the math lesson that would be taught on Tuesday.
"I wonder if Professor Sylph has punished those little rascals?"
Dark simply submitted a list of first-year students who had attempted to participate in the pranks to Professor Sylph and then paid no further attention to it.
But he believed that Professor Sylph must have handled it properly.
……
It was not until 6:00 AM on Tuesday.
Dak had already opened his eyes before the alarm clock rang.
Thanks to his nightly practice of "Netherworld Art" before going to sleep, he was very energetic after waking up, and he was in good spirits today as well.
Next was my second lesson as a teaching assistant.
Compared to the first class, he was less reserved. But he still took great care of his hair and appearance.
A person's outward appearance is always the most direct evaluation criterion.
Dak wouldn't let his students' impression of him be lowered by a moment of slackness.
At 7:30, he packed his books into his shoulder bag and set off from his dormitory.
Despite trying to control his pace, he still arrived at the first-grade math classroom fifteen minutes before class started.
Professor Lars Melno will not be attending today's class.
Without Professor Melno's presence, getting the students to listen attentively became a challenge.
But when Dak pushed open the door, the classroom was relatively quiet.
The first-year students were either engrossed in their studies or discussing things in hushed tones; more than half of the students were already present.
As for their original prank, there was naturally no trace left.
"If you have any questions before class, you can come and ask me."
Dak said something indifferently and then sat down on the podium.
Soon, a female student from the Magic Academy came up carrying books.
He started working ahead of schedule.
In his spare time, his gaze swept over the students whose names were on the list, and he noticed that some of them deliberately avoided his gaze, while others' hostility deepened.
