The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　But she never expected that someone would dare to abuse public power for private gain and take the opportunity to satisfy their own ugly desires!

　She clearly stated that the divination should be limited to the next semester. But this little pink-haired girl is actually doing divination for the time around Christmas!

　……

　Eudora lowered her head deeply, quickly hid the note, then silently raised her hand, held the crystal ball in a gesture, and began to perform the second "Astrology" ritual.

　Professor Mitis glanced at her and laughed in exasperation.

　Of course, she couldn't unleash her shrewish roar here; she could only keep quiet for the time being.

　……

　The surrounding students, however, were not affected by this.

　Dark had closed his eyes, following the guidance of magic, and sensing the changes in the crystal ball.

　Guided by astrology, the stars in the sky were reflected inside the crystal ball.

　His mind was calm as still water, and he began to observe.

　At one moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a dazzling golden light shone in them—that was the "Eye of Truth"!

　The "Eye of Truth" is inherently very compatible with astrology.

　Astrologers have conducted detailed research on this, and if one can open the "eye of truth," one can obtain more accurate insights when observing the stars using astrology.

　Diviners can then interpret these interpretations to arrive at more accurate conclusions.

　"boom!"

　Dark's eyelids trembled, and the golden light in his eyes suddenly surged.

　At the moment he opened the "Eye of Truth," he did indeed see the moon's orbit more clearly.

　But that trajectory chart, like a fleeting flower, vanished in the blink of an eye.

　Then, the black curtain was suddenly pulled down, and the view instantly became pitch black.

　My mind went blank for a moment.

　Unable to think, unable to imagine.

　All we could do was watch as stars fell through the darkness.

　The stars emitted an extremely dim light, appearing and disappearing in the night sky, exuding an extremely ominous aura.

　The first one, the second one, the third one.

　There are three stars in total.

　They fell from three directions, but ended up landing in the same spot, causing an explosion that flattened the entire earth.

　Creatures seemed to be stirring in the darkness, but they were all reduced to dust in the terrifying black light.

　……

　The first emotion that came to mind was not fear or shock.

　It's merely familiarity.

　A terrifying sense of familiarity arose within Dark.

　then.

　Thoughts began to flow.

　My thinking speeds up instantly.

　He suddenly realized what was happening.

　This is clearly the scene Eudora saw after triggering the "Apocalypse" when she first opened the "Eye of Truth"!

　Although Eudora only described it verbally, Dark instinctively believed it to be true.

　His heart sank as a result.

　This is an ominous sign.

　Furthermore, because he had timed his astrological predictions to the next semester, the probability that the prophecy seen in this "revelation" will occur in the next semester is extremely high.

　He closed his eyes, then opened them again; the golden light in them had vanished.

　Professor Mitya Bartholomew appeared silently behind him.

　"What do you see?"

　Professor Mitis whispered.

　Dark made no attempt to conceal it, writing in his notebook: "During Eudora's second 'Apocalypse,' I saw the same thing."

　Professor Mitis pressed her lips together.

　"Keep a calm mind."

　……

　Dark nodded slightly, then closed his eyes to rest for a moment before beginning the second astrological reading.

　This time, the apocalypse was not triggered.

　Using the knowledge he had acquired this semester, he observed and interpreted the moon's orbit, and then made a very ordinary prediction.

　It's about who will receive the Holy Grail next semester.

　He predicts that the Academy of Nobles will win the Academy Cup next semester!

　……

　After the two prophecies, my mind suddenly felt a little dizzy.

　He abandoned the idea of ​​continuing the divination and turned to look at his side.

　Eevee-chan has already begun its third prophecy.

　The first two prophecies were made in the form of "Sun Eevee".

　The prophecy's outcome was written crookedly in the notebook.

　Dark glanced at it discreetly.

　① Eevee becomes a big star.

　② Eevee gets a new lease on life.

　……

　In the row in front of Dach, Rose Florty was also focused on divination.

　As someone whose divination talent is second only to Eudora, she was very focused and achieved considerable results, but she herself did not seem satisfied.

　……

　Divination is actually a very private matter.

　Ordinary observers cannot see other people's divination process.

　The students completed their divinations one after another. Some paused temporarily, while others continued, and one divination result after another emerged. But no one knew whether those divinations were correct or not.

　The outcome of the betting game.

　Tonight's assessment results.

　And it's impossible to know this immediately.

　At 9:30 p.m., and then extended by another ten minutes, everyone finished their divinations. They then wrote down the interpretations and handed them to Professor Mitia.

　Dark submitted only one divination result, but Eevee submitted three.

　In short, one plus three equals four, making it the best in the entire competition!

　Haha.

　……

　Whether successful or not, whether it was a failure or not, the last "Astrology Class" of this semester has come to an end.

　The students left the classroom in twos and threes, slowly descending the spiral staircase and gradually disappearing into the night.

　Darko Dimon, on the other hand, remained in the classroom for the time being.

　Rose, who stayed because of him, and Eudora, who had no intention of leaving, are both here as well.

　Professor Mitia gathered the papers in her hand, put them in her bag, and then beckoned Dark and the others to get into the carriage.

　Dark picked up Ibu and climbed into the pumpkin carriage without hesitation.

　Eudora followed closely behind.

　Rose stood outside, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and went inside.

　Professor Mitia did not object to her entry.

　The unexpected spaciousness inside the carriage startled her.

　Professor Mitya gestured for her to sit down, and a magical sprite with flapping wings began to pour tea for the guests.

　"What happened?" Eudora asked in a low voice.

　“We’ll settle your score later!” Professor Mitis glared at her fiercely.

　Eudora immediately shrank her neck, and seemed to shrink a size.

　Rose found it amusing, so she picked up her teacup and carefully drank from it, using this to conceal her expression.

　Although Dak was curious, he didn't ask.

　Professor Mitis then said, "Dark triggered the 'Apocalypse'."

　Eudora and Rose's eyes widened immediately.

　Rose asked instinctively, "What did you see?"

　Eudora, who knew this better, exclaimed in surprise, "What is the price?"

　Professor Mitya turned to Dark and whispered, "I need to take a closer look."

　The costs of prophecy vary; some are very obvious, while others are difficult to discern.

　If it cannot be identified, then it is impossible to formulate a corresponding strategy, which is extremely dangerous.

　Dak did not resist and immediately began to cooperate with Professor Mitia's examination.

　He still can't understand why he was able to trigger "Apocalypse". But it was triggered, so he has to accept the fact that he is exceptionally gifted. That's it, meow!

　As for the cost of the prophecy, he had no idea yet, and could only wait for Professor Mitia's examination.

　However, no matter how bright the silver moon shone in Professor Mitia's eyes, she could not discern from him what price he had paid.

　"It's tricky."

　Professor Mitis's face darkened.

　The changed atmosphere made Eudora and the belatedly aware Rose tense as well.

　Dark himself remained calm, only saying, "Could it be the price of certain behaviors? Predictions can trigger specific behaviors. There is usually a possibility of delayed onset."

　Professor Mitya nodded and said, "It's possible. This type of cost has a delay of up to 24 hours. If it is, you can't relax from now until tomorrow night."

　Dak picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and the warm liquid flowed into his mouth, slowly tasting.

　He was a little unsure.

　……

　"How about this."

　Mitia looked at Darker carefully again, and finally said, "I'll give you a signal card. If you find any problems, activate it, and it will notify me. Or, I can leave a magic spirit with you?"

　“Let’s go with the signal card!” Darke said decisively.

　Professor Mitya nodded and said, "There's no need to be too nervous. If it's a delayed consequence of verbal or behavioral issues, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Once a consequence of verbal or behavioral issues is paid, it's considered fully paid and won't leave any aftereffects. It's actually a rather fortunate consequence."

　"It also depends on the type of speech or action," Dak added.

　Professor Mitis said, "Indeed."

　Then she raised her hand and rubbed it together, and a signal card shining with starlight appeared between her two fingers.
