Chapter 115: Dark Demon Witnesses Everything
Wit Gold was carried by a sphinx to the top of the Spiral Bell Tower.
The fierce wind and heavy rain nearly knocked him off.
He could only tightly embrace the sphinx’s neck to prevent himself from falling.
After sliding down from the sphinx’s back, Wit looked at the scene on the tower top, feeling completely bewildered.
He didn’t quite understand why Principal Altair had asked him to come along.
Because he really had limited understanding of how things developed.
He even didn’t know why Professor Kazel appeared here, or where that little imp-like creature resembling Professor Didi came from?
All these matters, Professor Shylph hadn’t had time to tell him yet.
He felt like a fool.
The only magic card left in his hand was actually the “Forbidden Love” card, which betrayed him at a critical moment.
Speaking of “Forbidden Love.”
“Forbidden Love” had returned to normal.
The little figure made of pink mist responded to him again.
As for the ability to窥视好感度 (peek at affection levels), he hadn’t dared to try it yet.
Among them, the ability to窥视好感度 (peek at affection levels) was obtained from the goddess statue.
In short, he was very confused.
Especially after discovering the perverted gentleman on the other side of the tower, he became even more confused.
“Why is he here?”
“Who are you talking about?”
Principal Altair’s voice came out of the sphinx’s mouth.
Although Wit pursed his lips without responding, Principal Altair still noticed he was looking at Dark.
Thus, Principal Altair continued speaking through the sphinx: “If you’re referring to Demon, he just left the ballroom.”
“The ballroom…scene?”
Wit’s face turned pale.
He suddenly realized that he had missed his first dance as a student!
Even though he had been enthusiastically picking out a costume last weekend.
Previously, he had even fantasized about inviting Senior Pandora to dance after winning the championship.
But now, not only did he miss out on the championship, he even missed the ball!
He was too ashamed to mention what happened after tonight.
“Hold on, is that Dark?”
Wit felt his neck was too stiff.
His buttocks were even slightly painful.
He swallowed his saliva.
Thinking that he had at least put on a fake rider suit, he shouldn’t have been recognized, right?
…
In the thunderstorm.
Dark naturally noticed Wit’s arrival, but he wasn’t surprised.
What surprised him was that Principal Altair hadn’t shown up in person!
“Could it be…”
He quickly discerned something.
Unlike Wit.
After recognizing Professor Didi, Dark quickly sorted out his thoughts and roughly speculated about the sequence of events.
Professor Didi’s “replay of history.”
Professor Kazel’s “castle location” and “historical projection.”
These all gave him some inspiration.
He was more interested in the meanings behind these terms than in the events themselves.
“I must find a chance to investigate thoroughly once everything settles down.”
With this thought, Dark turned his head to look at the scene.
Professor Shylph glanced at the sphinx and seemed to also discern something.
She stepped forward and said, “Didi, put down your wand. We can mediate tonight’s incident.”
Professor Didi was surprised, “Really, Sarah? What do I need mediation for? Student riots? Or the resurrection of the Moon Goddess? Don’t twist the facts.
I was watching over those bad eggs to prevent them from doing irreversible damage, and I even disposed of the remnants of the Moon Sovereign. Ultimately, are you trying to give me an Outstanding Professor Award? I don’t think I need one.”
Professor Shylph couldn’t help frowning.
Professor Didi smiled and added, “Just kidding. I left a resignation letter in my office; let Altair get it himself. Also, pass a message to Lily for me.”
Professor Shylph: “What message?”
Professor Didi: “Tell her I’m going to play!”
As soon as she finished speaking.
She raised “Thunder Might” high, as if the terrifying thunder that shattered the castle echoed again.
Didi Maxwell had already transformed into lightning, piercing through the rain curtain.
St. Maryan’s barrier was instantly torn apart, revealing a golden dragon rushing away, and Professor Didi had vanished.
…
“It’s over.”
Professor Kazel sighed, retracting the eight surrounding shields and the Snow Feather Golden-Eyed Beast back into his card.
Professor Jones also transformed back into human form, looking at Professor Shylph with a puzzled expression.
Then…
Professor Jones shrugged and joked, “Perhaps Didi’s method isn’t so bad?”
Professor Shylph said seriously, “Pava, that’s a lie.”
Professor Jones: “But we have to admit, sometimes lies are easier to accept than the truth.”
Professor Shylph: “But that’s not a reason to lie.”
Professor Jones: “Lie? No, we don’t lie, we only state part of the facts.”
Professor Shylph fell silent for a while before finally saying, “Let the principal decide.”
With that, they both looked at the sphinx.
Sphinx: (?)
Professor Jones: “The principal has fled.”
…
In the banquet hall on the first floor of the castle.
Principal Altair stood by the window, gazing at the heavy rain, sighing, “The rain tonight is really heavy.”
Princess Eliza walked to her side and smiled, squinting, “The thunder is louder.”
…
The masquerade ended amidst the heavy rain.
Despite the students’ lingering desire, the two loud thunderclaps diverted their attention elsewhere.
Under the guidance of the house prefects, the students returned to their respective common rooms.
But after returning to the common room, most people were excitedly speculating about what those two thunderclaps meant.
Soon after, someone discovered that classmates who couldn’t be found in the banquet hall hadn’t returned to the common room either.
This led to further chaos.
…
In the Tower of Noble Academy.
Having eaten enough gossip, Dark slowly pushed open the door to the common room and immediately found himself the center of attention.
The prefect who rarely spoke ran over first, concerned, “Demon? Why are you back so late? Where’s Scott? Staney? Beck…?”
Dark was speechless, “Prefect Rain, I’m just a first-year student who has been here for only two months. I can’t rattle off names like you.”
Rain hurriedly closed his mouth, looking embarrassed.
Dark then said, “Don’t worry, I just encountered some minor trouble. They might spend the night in the infirmary. By the way, Sister Carrian told me to tell everyone not to disturb the patients.
Also, if we don’t return to our rooms soon, tomorrow we might end up in the infirmary ourselves. It’s almost two o’clock!”
As he spoke, he yawned and headed towards the stairs.
Rain hurriedly asked, “What kind of trouble?”
Dark: “The principal will announce it tomorrow, I need to keep it confidential.”
With the prestige of Principal Altair, Dark successfully escaped the common room and climbed the stairs to the second floor.
When he turned the corner, aside from two little ones following him, the other students immediately started a new round of discussion, extremely excited.
