Chapter 91: Dark Demon Rushes Towards the Castle [13]
Nobles' House Tower.
Dark Demon dripped a drop of catnip juice onto the roots of the Catnip Grass and watered the bug-tree with some potion soup, then nodded with satisfaction.
If nothing else, raising flowers and grass really cultivates one's temperament.
Keeping something at home always gives one a little more to care about, making life feel less empty.
Placing the clinging Catnip Grass back into its sleeping basket, Dark Demon began to carefully check his belongings.
The masquerade ball started at six in the evening and lasted until the clock struck twelve, when students would welcome a new day in the hall used for orientation.
During this period, they needed to venture deep into the castle, find hidden ghosts, and kill them.
The credits obtained from killing ghosts would be recorded on their House Cards.
Using the House Card, one could even check their ranking within each grade and each house.
The most dazzling, naturally, was the overall ranking.
Unlike the grade champion, the overall champion could not only obtain a special champion title but also receive a huge amount of credit rewards and rare resource rewards.
So even senior students would go all out at the masquerade ball!
It was not a very easy task to snatch credits from the grasp of senior students.
Fortunately.
The academy had relevant regulations for this.
Ghosts ranged from one-star to eight-star.
Third-years killing one-star ghosts received no credits.
Fourth-years killing two-star and below ghosts received no credits.
Fifth-years killing three-star and below ghosts received no credits.
Sixth-years killing four-star and below ghosts received no credits.
...
Dark Demon's goal was very clear: to obtain more credits.
Therefore, his attire could not be too heavy.
It was best to carry only one card case.
Dark Demon took out his magic cards and organized them.
It had been exactly two months since school started.
Not counting Flower cards, just magic cards, Dark Demon already possessed a full 16 magic cards.
① [Pride I]
② [Pride II]
③ [Lust I]
④ [Lust III]
⑤ [Mystic Beast: Eevee]
⑥ [Trash Slime]
⑦ [Shuckle]
⑧ [Happy Card]
⑨ [Silencing Potion]
⑩ [Revealing Powder] X2
□ [Energy Potion] X5
Adding a House Card, that made 17 cards.
And the card case provided by the academy could hold twenty-one magic cards.
So he thought for a moment and put the [Costume Change Card] into it as well, and placed note paper, a pencil, an eraser, and a magic pen in the interlayer.
Everything was ready.
Dark Demon changed into the "Dark Night Prince set," put on the half-face black crow mask, tidied his hair, and opened the door.
"Hey!"
A Diana jumped out from the grass.
Diana, having changed into the "Dark Night Princess set," was like an elf emerging from the dark night – noble, elegant, beautiful, and cute.
Beside her was Rose Flotly, who had tied her smooth blonde hair under a hat and was wearing a white officer's uniform, looking unexpectedly handsome!
According to Rose herself, she wanted to take this opportunity to experience what it felt like to be a boy.
From a psychological perspective, this was a subconscious expression of her longing to be like her younger male cousin.
...
Neither of them had put on their masks yet, clearly waiting here специально.
Dark Demon pressed his brow with some resignation.
Diana, however, extended her small, fair hand and pouted, "Where's the candy?"
"Meow~"
The Catnip Grass revealed half its face from behind Dark Demon's shoulder.
Rose Flotly, beside Diana, her eyes instantly lit up, "So you have a Catnip Grass too, Dark Demon!"
Dark Demon smoothly changed the subject, "I've had it for a while now."
Rose looked at the Catnip Grass with a flower bud blooming on its head and said with envy, "That's great, my Garfield is already as fat as a ball."
Dark Demon smiled, "Being fat has its advantages, and Catnip Grass won't get sick from being overweight."
"That's true." Rose Flotly rarely expressed a subjective opinion, "My Garfield is so comfortable to knead! It's just that sometimes, I wake up in the morning and find my stomach uncomfortably pressed."
Dark Demon: "Haha, my Catnip Grass likes to sleep on my pillow, switching places."
Diana's mouth pouted very high, "No way, Diana wants to buy one too!"
The three of them then walked towards the common room, laughing.
Diana and Rose Flotly also put on their half-face black crow masks and peacock feather masks respectively as they went downstairs.
By the time they arrived, the common room was already packed with people.
It was thanks to the spaciousness of the common room that it could accommodate students from all six grades.
Looking out from the stairs, one could see that most of the senior students were wearing formal attire, neither too flamboyant nor too simple, just the type one would wear to a normal banquet.
Some senior students even had a red rose tucked into their breast pockets!
Their purpose was obvious.
But probably no one expected the homogenization of costumes to be so severe.
If only one or two people dressed like this, it would be fine.
But with dozens of people dressed like this, they would inevitably blend into the crowd.
However, things had already come to this point, and there was no turning back.
To stand out, one could only rely on strength!
The senior students were rubbing their fists, eager to start.
The junior students still maintained their childlike innocence, with quite a few monster costumes.
And according to Dark Demon's understanding of the two little twin princesses, they were likely to be more interested in students dressed as monsters.
Those were not little cuties who were as well-behaved as they appeared.
The eldest princess, however, was truly someone whose appearance matched her personality – beautiful and elegant, gentle and virtuous. Perhaps she would take a liking to that kind of gentle boy.
...
Magic Academy Tower.
Even though it was almost six o'clock, Pandora Dragon was still in her dormitory.
She was wearing a snow-white bridal gown, a reflection of the beautiful wishes in her heart.
This was already her fourth year participating in the academy's masquerade ball, so Pandora certainly knew how crowded the common room would be at this time.
There was no need to squeeze in there just to gain a slight advantage.
By staggering the time a little, one could avoid a lot of trouble, so why not?
...
Knight's House Tower.
Virt and Robert had already been squeezed into French fries.
The two had bought their current costumes on Saturday.
Robert wore a one-piece werewolf costume, which was clearly not something an ordinary person could pull off, but Robert had enough physique and strength.
Virt, in the end, couldn't bring himself to wear something too outlandish and wore a "Vampire Count set" that revealed half his face.
Vampire and werewolf, a bit interesting.
...
Patient's House Tower.
...
Finally, at the long-awaited moment.
The hour hand pointed straight down.
The spiral clock tower in the center of the academy chimed loudly.
"Duang~!"
The access ban was lifted.
The students immediately rushed out of their respective towers like wild rabbits escaping a cage.
Nearly a thousand students flooded into St. Marian's Castle in an instant. The slumbering ghosts opened their eyes, and what greeted them were countless black bats!
Under the frontal baptism of the swarm of bats, the first-year students mixed in the crowd excitedly rushed into the castle.
