Considering Witt's strange behavior during class...
Dark quickly realized what was going on, but maintained his aristocratic demeanor and smiled, "Now that we've exchanged greetings, I'm Dark Dimon. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Witt was inexplicably excited and quickly extended his hand to shake hands with him: "Witt God, it's a pleasure to meet you too!"
"Really?" Dark smiled demurely. "I'm going to the classroom to preview the material now. We can talk about it later."
Witt: "Okay!"
……
After Dak left.
Robert nudged Witt's arm and whispered, "How was it? Shaking hands with the academic genius?"
"You know what, it's actually pretty good!" Witt joked.
Then he picked up the "Forbidden Love" photo he had just secretly taken and glanced at it, his expression immediately changing.
Name: Dark Dimon
Rarity: ur
【Favourability: 44】
Witt asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why is the favorability rating decreasing instead of increasing?"
Robert
He leaned closer for a closer look and hesitated, then asked, "Could it be because we disturbed him? Or did following him upset him?"
Witt said with distress, "Is that so? But we just want to say hello to him."
Robert: "How about we give you a present for Halloween? Receiving a present will definitely increase our goodwill towards you, right?"
Witt: "That's a good idea, but what does he like? Would toffee apples work?"
Robert shrugged. "Perhaps a set of magic chess pieces wouldn't be bad either."
Witt: "That's true, nobody dislikes Magic Chess."
Robert: "Also, when shall we go take a picture of Emma?"
Witt asked in confusion, "Wait, Robert, why are you so concerned about Emma? You mentioned Emma in class too."
Robert paused, then realized, "No way, Witt. You don't think I'm a masochist, do you? I just want to see how low her opinion of you is! Don't you want to?"
Witt spread his arms and shook his head violently: "No, I don't want to know at all!"
Robert: "You think so."
Witt: "Okay, I think so."

Chapter 57 Darkdemon Discovers Pistachios
At the corner.
Darko Dimon, however, did not actually leave.
He stopped to listen as soon as he was out of sight of Witt and Robert.
Victor and Robert didn't lower their voices, and Dark heard their entire conversation clearly.
"I see. That flower card has a new function: it can detect a person's level of favorability."
"Wait a minute, isn't this an essential feature of the protagonist in a visual novel? Is it presented in this way?"
"So, he was trying to increase my favorability just now?"
"Is there some kind of reward? Or can it unlock a CG? Hahaha, it probably can't be unlocking a CG."
"Even though it seems useless, I can't let him freely probe my mind."
"In Harry Potter, there's Occlumency, a technique that can seal off the brain to prevent mind-stealing and other brain-peeping techniques. With advanced practice, it can even simulate false memories. There's no reason why this world wouldn't have one."
Dak listened for a while longer, and seeing that there were more people on the road, he quickly left.
"The next class is Professor Cazell's class. If the making of flower cards really has nothing to do with Professor Cazell, perhaps we can get some information from Witt."
……
When Dark arrived at the Magic Theory classroom, Emma Metis had already taken the front row seat.
He smiled and sat down in the last row by the window, waiting for Victor and Robert to arrive.
Based on Witt and Robert's behavior, he had a hunch that even if Witt could gain benefits by increasing the favorability of others, he could only do so from certain special people.
For example, the main characters in the game!
So, Emma should be one of them too.
Sure enough, five or six minutes before class started, Witt and Robert unusually walked into the classroom through the front door.
Moreover, Wiete deliberately kept that "Forbidden Love" card in his hand.
Although he acted casually, he clearly gave Emma a "forbidden love" look!
Then Witt and Robert hurriedly went to the other side of the last row of the classroom.
Before they could even put their backpacks down, the two huddled together to examine the cards.
Name: Emma Meitis
Rarity: SSR
【Favourability: 31】
Robert exclaimed in surprise, "31, Witt. That's about the same as many others. It seems Emma doesn't dislike you as much as she seems. I really want to know how much she likes me. Maybe she doesn't dislike me at all?"
Witt glanced at him and gave an awkward laugh: "Haha."
But then he noticed that there was a lock on the card!
Although it's not a gold lock like Dark's, it's still orange.
He immediately reached out and touched it, and a line of text appeared below: Favorability 80 unlocked.
Is it because of its rarity?
Witt immediately noticed the key point.
"Dark's rarity is UR, so it has a gold lock. Emma's rarity is SSR, so it has an orange lock. Although it's unclear which one is rarer, it's undoubtedly related to rarity."
Robert realized the key point, and his expression turned slightly grim: "So, the reason my hand doesn't have a lock is because..."
Witt quickly reassured him, "Don't worry about it too much, Robert. We can look at other people, like Professor Cazell?"
Robert's eyes lit up: "Even Emma and Dark have locks, the professors must have locks too."
Witt whispered, "Keep it down, we'll think of something when the professor arrives."
……
"My rarity is UR, and Emma's rarity is SSR?"
Dak picked up his pen and wrote down a line of grades in his notebook: n, r, sr, ssr, ur.
"It's probably this type of level; rather than rarity, it's closer to preciousness."
"If it's about unlocking a reward with a favorability level of 80, there should be further reward unlocking conditions, such as a favorability level of 90 or 100."
"As expected of a world derived from a visual novel, it has all the elements."
"But in the real world, it's not as easy to increase favorability as it is with characters in games."
"No way, I didn't finish the last melon, I have to eat more of this one!"
Even now, Dak feels a faint sense of pleasure when he thinks about the gossip he heard on Friday.
That really relieved a lot of the "rage" that had been building up inside him.
"Witt Gold, perhaps, is a good source of amusement."
……
Professor Cazell arrived at the classroom half a minute late, with a small white bandage still visible on his head.
This completely thwarted Witt and Robert's plan to ambush people at the door.
They could only hope that Professor Cazell would step down from the podium on his own.
However, Professor Cazell generally does not step down from the podium unless he has assigned homework.
→The footstool on the podium tells the story.
And in this lesson, Professor Cazell indeed taught...
He introduced the "General Method for Making Magical Spirit Cards" and recommended a book called "Magical Spirit Alchemy - General Manual" to the students.
Most of the students listened attentively.
Dark was naturally very serious as well.
This knowledge is very important for archmages, and you can only learn very little from textbooks.
Professor Kazel primarily teaches a "basic transmutation method," which combines several transmutation circles, culminating in Transmutation Circle No. 1. Simply add materials such as potions, plant organs, monster teeth, hair, eyeballs, and blood to the transmutation circle to begin transmutation.
However, this method of alchemy is highly random; before it is completed, no one knows what will ultimately be produced.
Dark prefers to call it "random transmutation".
In contrast, the "Basic Transmutation Method" mentioned by Professor Kazel contains a more detailed "Basic Transmutation Method".
That book breaks down the methods for creating Magical Spirit Cards into categories based on race and attribute.
There are a total of fifteen races, twenty attributes, and three hundred different basic alchemy methods!
“Great, that’s exactly what I need.”
Dak wrote down the book's title, intending to borrow it as soon as get out of class ended.
After Professor Kazel finished this part, he gave the students time to copy the notes from the blackboard.
He then stepped down from the podium to see if the students were taking notes diligently.
When he reached Duck's side, he glanced at the dense but very neat notes, nodded slightly, and then turned to the other side of the classroom.
Witt and Robert are on the other side.
The two quickly pretended to take notes, waiting for the professor to turn the corner, walk forward, and turn his back to them.
Witt knew his chance had come!
He immediately picked up "Forbidden Love" and shone it on Professor Cazell.
The next moment.
"boom!"
A burst of pink mist suddenly erupted from the "Forbidden Love" card, causing the card to tremble violently.
Witt was startled and quickly pressed down on the card.
But Professor Cazell had already turned his head, staring at him with a deep frown.
……
Chapter 58 Darkdemon eats melons up close, face to face.
"Victor Gold, 50 points deducted. Come to my office after class." (Novel website)
Professor Cazell's voice was calm yet tinged with anger.
Everyone in the classroom involuntarily stopped writing.
The sound of the pen tip scratching against the paper disappeared in an instant, and the entire classroom fell silent.
In such an atmosphere.
Witt raised his head under countless gazes, his face pale and his lips twitching.
"Humph."
