……
Before I knew it, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Dak ate some desserts to fill his stomach in the pastry room and drank a cup of "unscented black tea" before packing up and leaving the library.
Today he continued to draw on "arrogance" to build up his reserves, aiming to accumulate as many credits as possible by Friday afternoon, then transfer them to a container with a longer shelf life, and return the "mind bottle" to Professor Cazell.
As he passed Emma, Dak caught a glimpse of her seemingly studying "The Value of Money".
This surprised Dak slightly, and he wondered if the girl had gone astray.
Thinking of the arguments she had with Witt and Robert about academic debt, Dak couldn't help but shake his head.
The astronomy class was held in the spiral clock tower in the center of Sainte-Marie's Castle.
You have to climb the external spiral staircase to the twelfth floor to reach Professor Didi's astronomy classroom.
If you don't arrive early, you'll easily be late.
Dak was somewhat glad that he had always maintained the good habit of arriving at the classroom early.
This class was still taught by all four academies together. The students from the Magic Academy were clearly more interested in astronomy, and many of them were already whispering excitedly in the classroom before Dark arrived.
Professor Didi is, overall, a very kind little fairy. As the head of the Fools' House, she never gets angry, even when deducting points from her students.
But as soon as get out of class is over, she becomes very easy to talk to.
She wouldn't mind if the students were chattering away in the classroom like they are now.
—Yes, Professor Didi is already sitting on the podium.
……
Six o'clock sharp.
The bell did not ring.
In its place, there is the resounding sound of bells, symbolizing the alternation of day and night!
"duang!"
The bell rang throughout the campus.
Sunset, moonrise.
As the spiral staircase gradually darkened, Witt and Robert hopped and leaped upwards like rabbits.
The two set their alarms and got up right on time—they lingered in bed for another ten minutes before rushing out of the dormitory.
There was no food to eat.
Of course, I didn't sleep well either.
Playing a million games of Magic Chess before bed caused them to lose precious sleep time.
Running on an empty stomach and sprinting at the last minute only made the fatigue even worse.
"It's over!"
The tolling of the bells of despair struck straight to the heart.
"boom!"
The two burst through the door and rushed into the classroom!
"Five points each, Gao De and Broheim."
Professor Didi didn't even turn to look at them; he just started drawing the moon on the blackboard.
In this lesson, she was clearly going to talk about astronomical knowledge related to the moon.
Witt and Robert slunk into the classroom and sat down in another corner of the last row.
As for the credits that were deducted, the two of them were no longer so concerned.
Anyway, we can't collect them all, can we?
Haha.
……
Since it was the first astronomy class for first graders, Professor Didi didn't cover anything too profound.
As she entered the second half of the lesson, she suddenly waved her hand, and the ceiling of the classroom instantly became transparent.
It seemed to have transformed into a mirror, shortening the distance between itself and the night sky.
The students had never observed the moon so closely before.
Above the dark night sky, rippling with water, hangs a full moon that fills the entire field of vision, like a jade plate!
"Wow!"
The previously dull atmosphere was completely gone.
The classroom suddenly became lively.
Professor Didi watched the children pointing at the full moon and making a fuss with a gentle expression, and this time she did not stop them.
But two people, looking at the full moon so close to them, could not suppress the surging emotions in their hearts.
One is Dac.
One is Witt.
Chapter 37 Virtold Enters the Abyss
By the time the astronomy session ended, it was already very dark.
Only a full moon hangs high, its light bright and clear.
The students then realized that it was a full moon tonight!
……
Dark Dimon walked along the narrow path, keeping a safe distance from the crowd. He needed to find a secluded corner to calm down.
Saint Marian's castle is a maze of interconnected passages, and golems patrol it every night.
He avoided the golem, found a window nearby, shrunk inside, sat diagonally on the windowsill, and could see the full moon in the night sky when he looked up.
Standing atop the clock tower, suddenly being up close to the full moon caused his emotions to fluctuate uncontrollably, and his whole body felt slightly hot.
The reason for this must be the influence of "paradise"!
The [Bliss +1] that slowly drifted past in his field of vision made him realize that the moon was the symbol of "Bliss"!
Before this, he had never imagined that the connection between the Seven Deadly Sins and the stars could be so close.
The great sin known as the source of all evil.
The star is hailed as the origin of all gods.
Why are they connected?
What, then, is the essence of what is considered a great sin?
……
Human thought is a form of movement.
Once you start, it's hard to stop.
Dak's gaze shifted, and he suddenly noticed a figure flash across the lower external bridge.
It seems that others, like him, cannot suppress their loneliness at night.
……
Witt Gold confirmed that he had reached a crossroads in his life.
He had previously transferred his credits to Robert, leaving him with only 30 credits.
Having earned 100 credits, Robert was finally able to go to Professor Cazell to buy the crafting materials for a "Magic Beast" worth 100 credits each.
I heard that the materials for making "Magic Beasts" are actually quite expensive, and the time that can be purchased with 100 credits is only available in this beginner stage.
With only one night left until the next magic class, tonight is Robert's last chance.
This was a crucial moment, and Witt should have been by Robert's side, helping him with his homework.
But he slipped away while Robert went to see Professor Cazell.
This was the first time Witt had gone out for a nighttime stroll alone.
An overly large castle inevitably evokes a sense of desolation and eeriness when no one is around.
Witt was fairly brave, but he couldn't help but hug his arms and tremble.
The chilling feeling only gradually subsided when I arrived at an external bridge and focused my attention on the thick black book in my hand.
It needs to be confirmed that the moonlight can shine directly on it.
Witte opened the book in the moonlight, and a short sentence came into view:
[Enter the abyss, gaze into the abyss.]
The moonlight found its way to the text, and the originally smooth characters suddenly began to tremble in Victor's vision. Then they transformed into another kind of text that he had never seen before but could understand.
→【Clear away the fog, reveal the truth; the full moon will guide you.】
……
I received this book, "Into the Abyss," on my second day of school, the first time I entered the library.
In order to complete the assignment for the Summoning class, I need to find information about the Minotaur.
He found the book "Into the Abyss" hidden in a corner.
After confirming with Robert that only he could see the changes in the text.
Is it a surprise, or a sense of mission from somewhere in the dark?
Witt had a feeling of being "chosen".
His surname is Gao De, and his bloodline comes from the legendary "hero." But in reality, apart from being welcomed and celebrated by the students at the beginning, he doesn't feel any special feeling about being the "son of a hero."
Until I discovered this book!
……
"Full moon!"
A word whose very words are captivating.
More than a month of playing around made him almost forget about the book hidden in the drawer.
Until tonight in astronomy class, I looked directly at the full moon at extremely close range.
It was only then that Witte remembered this book.
Unable to contain his excitement, he finally brought the book with him.
After the moonlight shone on the paper for about fifteen seconds, the transformed text changed again.
A pink mist rose up, and the shape it formed guided its way.
Overjoyed, Witt immediately started running following the directions.
……
Upstairs, Dak, who was sitting diagonally on the windowsill, witnessed everything and naturally saw the pink arrow that only certain groups of people could see. His gaze gradually became strange.
"Should we follow them, or just leave them be?"
If this had happened yesterday, Dark would have simply pretended not to see it.
But tonight my heart is restless.
He took out his Sorting Card, infused it with a wisp of magic, and summoned Impmon.
"Go, follow them."
"Order!"
The little devil immediately spread its wings and flew down.
