Robert Broheim's scream drew the entire classroom's gaze upon him.
The mist surging outward like a tide shocked the students into widening their eyes.
Robert, Virt, and the students in the row ahead of them hurriedly left their seats and retreated, watching as the mist swelled uncontrollably.
"Stop!"
With a soft shout from Professor Medea, a beam of starlight as thick as a pillar shot down violently from the ceiling, freezing the mist in time.
Only then did the surrounding people pat their chests, gasping for breath.
"Robert, how did you do that?" Virt whispered.
"How should I know?" Robert said with a mournful face.
Virt asked, "What did you see?"
Robert replied, "I saw..."
Thinking of that image, his face turned pale with a swish.
"Robert Broheim."
Professor Medea had arrived at his side before anyone noticed, reaching out to support his shoulder.
Robert subconsciously stopped speaking and looked up at her slightly.
Professor Medea smiled faintly. "A small problem occurred. At the time of brilliance, the stars support the moon. The appearance of a second moon changed the trajectory of the stars and disturbed the operation of the Astrology. Therefore, what you are seeing in your eyes right now is not what you are thinking of."
She enunciated clearly, her voice spreading throughout the classroom and appearing equally in everyone's ears, carrying a faint sense of conviction.
The students seemed to understand yet not understand, feeling it was impressive despite their confusion.
Emma Metis suddenly raised her hand high.
Professor Medea extended her hand. "Speak."
Emma asked seriously, "So, the human figure we see in the mist right now is not our future other half?"
It wasn't originally, either.
Professor Medea smiled silently and said, "In Astrology, every star can emit attraction. The higher the grade of the star, the greater the attraction. When stars of equal or higher grade appear in the same area, they will disturb each other and affect the operation of Astrology. What you saw is actually that second moon."
"You mean..."
Emma couldn't help but glance sideways at Dark. So seeing him in the mist wasn't because of that reason?
She opened her mouth, suddenly feeling an indescribable sensation in her heart.
...
As Emma sat down, most of the girls seemed to have grasped the core meaning from that vague explanation.
Sarah Swati couldn't help thinking, "In other words, Dark Demon is the second moon Professor Medea spoke of. But why would he become a second moon?"
...
However, Professor Medea herself wasn't clear on that.
She had simply improvised this explanation after discovering that all the girls saw Dark in the mist.
But after listening to her explanation, Dark himself suddenly realized the truth.
"So that's it!"
He understood with just a little deduction.
This should be caused by [Lust].
The symbol of [Lust] is the moon. Mixing it into this Astrology spell centered on the moon caused a disturbance in the Astrology.
To the extent that he unwittingly became the center point of the entire Astrology spell, forming a new trend of "all stars supporting the moon."
And because [Lust] is exceptionally effective against the opposite sex, the ones affected were mostly female.
Of course, he himself could also only see himself.
"Among the seven Major Sins, I have researched [Pride] and [Lust] the deepest. Perhaps this is the manifestation of my results!"
Thinking of this, he was still somewhat happy.
However, while Professor Medea explained this cause, she offered no explanation for the anomaly on Robert's side.
From her actions just now, it could also be seen that she was intentionally preventing Robert from speaking about what he saw.
Thus, it was evident that what Robert saw must have been caused by reasons specific to himself.
Dark recalled slightly and remembered the nine stars personally selected by Professor Medea. Not only were there Sarah, Emma, Eudora, and Rose, but also Robert... and of course, Little Eevee.
These nine were the people in the current classroom who had already displayed divination talent.
As for the others, they were still waiting to be developed.
"I wonder which kind Robert triggered? It couldn't be that he triggered his first divination, right?"
Dark suppressed his curiosity.
This melon is guaranteed ripe!
...
Under Professor Medea's intentional guidance, the students tacitly accepted Robert's anomaly as an abnormality caused by the appearance of the second moon.
Even Robert calmed down, half-believing and half-doubting.
When Virt asked him quietly again, he thought for a moment and tried to reproduce what he had just seen on the homework paper relying on his memory.
But Professor Medea's single phrase, "Listen to the class seriously," frightened him into hurriedly putting down his pen.
The Astronomy class proceeded as usual.
Although the students did not see their "future other half" as they wished, Professor Medea's teaching objective was achieved.
Therefore, she did not do it again, but instead began her lecture.
No matter the time, she was always able to use interesting things to attract the students' attention.
Soon, most students temporarily set aside their previous regrets and immersed themselves in the new stories.
It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening.
The Astronomy class finally ended amidst the bell toll of the Spiral Clock Tower.
Since the assignment today was a simple reading task, the students were in a good mood.
Talking and laughing, they left the classroom one after another.
But Robert Broheim was signaled by Professor Medea to stay behind.
And since Robert was kept behind, naturally, Virt wouldn't leave either.
On the other side.
Dark also showed no intention of leaving, so Diana and Rose waited a bit as well.
Finally, there was Eudora, who asked Professor Medea for advice after every class.
However, among these six students, the reason each stayed behind was different.
The reason Dark chose to stay was, on one hand, to taste the flavor of this melon, and on the other hand, because he saw the shadow of [Flower Cards] in that [Love Magic Circle]!
Ever since probing the background of the [Flower Cards] last semester, he had always wanted to find the method for refining Flower Cards.
For this, he had actually gone to ask Professor Kazel, but there are specializations in every field, and Professor Kazel wasn't omnipotent either.
And the former creator of the [Flower Cards]—that is, Mr. Starfish of the original Seafood Cult—had lost a large portion of his memory after regaining clarity.
Mr. Starfish was the one most deeply brainwashed, and some aftereffects were hard to eliminate.
Moreover, he was no longer at the academy.
Although Dark felt regret after failing to find the method, he didn't take it too much to heart.
Because he temporarily had sufficient reserves of [Flower Cards], as well as a method to absorb [Major Sin], and his research was proceeding smoothly.
If it really didn't work out, he could still purchase the Flower Cards circulating in the academy.
The current [Flower Cards] craze had passed, but the [Flower Cards] had become a limited rare item.
Collecting a set of Flower Cards with different flower languages was quite difficult.
However, as long as one was willing to pay the price, they could still be collected.
But that was ultimately treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
It was far inferior to mastering the production method of Flower Cards himself.
Tonight's [Love Magic Circle] made Dark associate it with [Flower Cards]. He wanted to know the core principle of the [Love Magic Circle] and then try to see if he could research the production method of [Flower Cards] from it.
...
Medea looked at the six students remaining in the classroom and had no intention of chasing them away.
She sat on the podium and tapped the desktop with her wand.
Robert then walked up with his head lowered.
"Robert..."
Virt hesitated slightly, then followed behind him.
The others gathered around with considerable interest.
Professor Medea swept a glance over them and said, "You can listen, but you cannot leak it to the outside."
Diana shut her mouth forcefully and patted her chest.
The others also nodded slightly.
Professor Medea then asked Robert, "Broheim, tell us what you saw."
Robert then tried hard to recall. "I saw a person. Red hair, pointed ears, blood patterns all over the face, fangs in the mouth... looked like a vampire..."
"A vampire?" Virt couldn't help asking, "Robert, why would you see a vampire? Could it be Vlad? But Vlad... he doesn't seem to have blood patterns on his face."
Robert had lingering fears. "No, it wasn't Vlad, it was a female vampire! When I saw her, she was leaning over, tearing and biting at something unknown. I froze for a moment, and she suddenly looked up at me, her mouth full of blood! I was startled."
Virt asked, "A female vampire? Why would you see a female vampire?"
Robert shook his head vigorously. "I don't know, I really don't know."
Dark, standing nearby, was also confused. He had thought of many possibilities, but he hadn't expected Robert to see a completely unfamiliar female vampire.
This made him couldn't help asking, "Do you have an impression? Have you seen anyone who looks like that female vampire?"
Robert shook his head desperately again.
Professor Medea pondered slightly before saying, "Very strange. I previously thought you had triggered your first divination, but now it seems unlike that. Have you truly never seen that female vampire?"
Robert shook his head so fast he almost couldn't stop.
Professor Medea hesitated. "Perhaps... have you read any vampire-related novels lately, or had other deep impressions? I mean, what you think about by day, you dream of by night."
Robert opened his mouth, but his gaze involuntarily turned toward Dark, seemingly seeking his opinion.
Dark nodded slightly.
Robert then said, "Recently, it would be when playing [Magic Guide Chess] with Dark. I was tormented by the [Vampire Vlad] piece he used."
Medea immediately frowned and asked, "I wanted to ask before, who exactly is Vampire Vlad? You all seem to know him? Are vampires not already extinct?"
Eudora silently shook her head, but no one paid attention to her.
Robert immediately wanted to explain, but Virt pulled at the hem of his clothes.
Dark then smiled. "Professor, this is a little secret between us."
"A secret, is it?" Medea said with relief. "Then there's no helping it. So, Robert, can you describe the image of the female vampire you saw again in detail? It's best if there are distinct features that can differentiate her. Like the style of the blood patterns or something?"
Robert said, "Let me think."
He took out paper and pen, rubbed his head to recall hard, and finally drew a strange symbol on the paper: ?.
Then he said, "The blood patterns were mostly concentrated on the left face. The central part was a pattern similar to this, and the color was very dark."
Professor Medea observed that rune carefully, shaking her head after a long while. "Doesn't ring a bell. Perhaps you all can go to the library and look for it yourselves. Alright, actually, this isn't a big deal. Perhaps it's just because your impression of vampires is very deep, and this time was a divination targeting love, so you combined female and vampire, these two concepts, and saw such a female vampire."
Then she raised her head and said to Dark, "In short, that's it for Robert's matter. Demon, do you have something you want to say?"
Seeing the professor ask, Dark said directly, "It's like this, Professor. I want a detailed document regarding the [Love Magic Circle]."
Professor Medea asked curiously, "Is there any extra use?"
Dark replied, "I want to make a type of Flower Card that can manifest the person one is thinking of in their heart."
Professor Medea was slightly stunned, revealing a trace of a smile. "I didn't expect you to see through it. The [Love Magic Circle] isn't any secret. If you need it, I can organize a document. Next week... come to me to get it during class next week."
She deliberately emphasized the word "secret" very heavily, hoping Dark would take the hint.
But Dark pretended not to notice and said gratefully, "Thank you, Professor! Then we'll head back first."
Professor Medea took a light breath, feeling a bit exasperated.
However, she had no reason to forcibly keep the students, so she could only watch as Dark left with Diana and Rose.
Afterward, Robert and Virt also thanked Professor Medea and quickly left the classroom.
The two groups, one ahead and one behind, spiraled down along the stairs.
Dark, however, was pondering deeply over what Robert had seen.
He didn't think it was truly as Professor Medea said, a product of combining the two words 'female' and 'vampire'.
But thinking carefully, he couldn't find a single clue.
However, he was just an outsider who didn't mind the chaos; if they really wanted to investigate, they would have to rely on Robert himself.
It was just that symbol "?"... he seemed to have really seen it somewhere?
But human memory is like this; the more one wants to remember something, often the less one can recall it.
Dark asked casually, "Do you guys have an impression of that symbol Robert drew?"
He originally thought he wouldn't get any answer, but unexpectedly, Diana looked left and right, then suddenly whispered with a shifty look, "Shh, I know..."
Dark: "..."
...
Looking at Diana's cautious yet secretly delighted little appearance, Dark couldn't help but want to pinch her small cheeks.
But he endured it and pinched Eevee's cheeks instead.
"Since you're so careful, let's talk about it after we get back."
Diana nodded hurriedly.
Afterward, they walked swiftly all the way and soon returned to the Noble House tower.
Dark followed Diana into her dormitory. She then hurriedly climbed onto a stool and pulled down a book from the upper shelf of the indoor bookcase.
Book Title: 300 Heroes
