The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

***Edited by Kronost***

Principal Arte also hadn't expected that—after she told all the details of the incident openly and honestly in front of the teachers and students of the whole academy—this would be the outcome she would get.

At the assembly, the students might have indeed been saddened by Professor Didi's resignation and condemned Professor Didi's dereliction of duty.

But once the assembly was over, not many people seemed to keep it in mind.

For most students, if it was not something they personally experienced, it wouldn't affect them much.

Just like after being disappointed with the son of the hero, no one would run up to White and yell: "You're not worthy of being called the son of the hero".

At most, people would mention it in passing when chatting with each other.

The fermentation of public opinion required a process, and it would not be as straightforward as people imagined.

In the end, what really attracted students' attention was the phrase inadvertently mentioned in the incident: The secret passage!

There were secret passages in the castle!

Students were living in the castle for so long, but they still didn't know that there were many secret passages hidden in the castle that had been explored by others many times!

This was so much more interesting than everything else!

In a very short time, the entire Saint Marian Academy exploded with excitement.

It just so happened that today was the Halloween holiday, and there was nowhere to vent the excess energy, so why not find something to do?

So the students rushed out, eagerly checking every inch of the land, trying to find the secret passage mentioned by the principal.

...

At this time, the smart Dianna thought of Dark, this insider.

When Dark returned to the dormitory, Dianna took Rose to the door of his dormitory, her eyes full of excitement.

Dark originally didn't want to join the exploration, but after touching the parchment in his hand, he decided to take a look.

He was very interested in what his mother was hiding in the secret passage.

...

Meanwhile, the people who had just come out of the infirmary suddenly found that they had become very popular with students.

The classmates they had never interacted with before suddenly expressed their concerns of their health, asking if they were feeling okay. It made them feel very creepy.

Even Robert was stopped by his classmates on the way back to his dormitory. Those who didn't like him very much some time ago were all acting very friendly to him for some reason.

Robert was a little touched at first, until they revealed their true purpose...

"Enough! I'm really tired. Find someone else!" Robert, who was struggling to break free from the pull of his classmates, ran into the tower of the Knight House, and just happened to bump into White, who was fully prepared.

...

White also noticed that there was already a commotion in the academy because of the information about the secret passage when classmates came to his door.

He was originally in the dormitory, trying to copy the map left by his father so as not to damage the map.

As a result, after the map that was barely recognisable by some people was copied by White, it became a map that no one could recognize.

White could only sigh helplessly, "Maybe it's heredity", and then gave up copying.

It was not until some classmates came to his door that he suddenly realised that the information about the secret passage had been leaked. Sooner or later, the students would find the entrance to the secret passage, and the treasure left by his father would not ever disappear like the principal said.

Once found by other students...

Thinking of this, he who originally wanted to compete with Dark was even more anxious.

"Robert, hurry up, I'm running out of time!"

Before Robert could figure out what he was talking about, White pulled him and ran out of the Knight House tower.

...

There were actually a lot of secret entrances in the castle.

Because of the little misty person White got from "Into the Abyss", he knew a lot about secret passages.

And Dark currently only knew two entrances.

One of them was the secret passage entrance near the big magister statue.

The other was the exit of the secret passage when he followed White out of the secret passage for the first time.

The one he was most familiar with was naturally the secret passage near the big magister statue.

It was nearly five o'clock.

Dark brought Dianna and Rose to the big magister statue.

He had passed by here several times before, but he had never once paid much attention to the statue.

But this time, the more he looked, the more familiar he felt, so he couldn't help but take out the treasure map for comparison.

"Dark, are you holding the secret passage map?" Dianna asked, tiptoeing.

Dark shook his head slightly: "This is the treasure map my mother drew when she was a student."

Dianna immediately said excitedly: "Is there really a treasure map?"

Dark smiled: "Since it's an exploration, how can there be no treasure map? Let's go, I seem to have found a clue."

The first marker in the treasure, the chess piece, was undoubtedly right in front of him!

There was no way Dark could connect a chess piece to a statue if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

But now he was almost certain.

"As long as two more markers are found, the direction of the map can be determined."

"There are sixteen markers in the map, and the location of the treasure is the seventeenth marker."

"We're not in such a hurry. If we can find a second marker tonight, it will be a great success."

As Dark spoke, he carefully identified the route on the treasure map.

To his surprise, the line drawn from the first marker did not point to the nearby secret passage, but a straight line.

"A straight line?" Dark thought for a while, then looked strangely at the wall behind the magister.

"No way."

Dark felt a little embarrassed when he thought that he once hid here but didn't notice anything.

He reached out and touched the wall, and with only a little bit of magic energy injected, ripples like water appeared on the wall.

There is indeed a secret passage here!

Dark took out the sorting card and subconsciously wanted to summon DemiDevimon, but then his face stiffened and he quickly put it away.

"I know, I know, this is the entrance to the secret passage, right?" Dianna quickly took out the sorting card and summoned her familiar spirit.

A little that was only half a metre tall appeared at her feet pitifully.

"Go!" Dianna pointed forward, and the little crawled into the wall.

After confirming safety, the three people entered one after another.

While leaving traces on the wall, Dark said: "There are torches on both sides of the secret passage, and they will automatically light up when someone passes by."

"I have entered the secret passage three times. Although I have not encountered any danger so far, I am not sure whether there is really no danger in the entire secret passage."

"In fact, even if there was no danger in the past, it may not be the case in the future."

"If my speculation is correct, the environment of the secret passage is changing all the time!"

"In the afternoon, you should have heard from the principal that what happened last night originated from a student who discovered the Temple of the Moon in a secret passage."

"But you certainly didn't realise that actually the Temple of the Moon did not exist there before the student discovered it."

"The issues involved here are very complicated..."

Looking at Dianna still glancing around curiously at the front, Dark couldn't help but said sternly: "I said so much just to warn you, so follow me and don't run around!"

Dianna and her turned their heads at the same time, looking at Dark pitifully.
