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

　Driven by curiosity, Ergani took a bite, but thankfully she was a rational monster; after one bite, she never...

　I tried it.

　Aurora simply shook her head, refusing time and time again, unwavering in her resolve.

　Claire was drinking alone, and suddenly became listless.

　Having no other choice, Dak had to call Angry to come and drink with him.

　Although Angrey is not good at socializing, she is, after all, a maid of the Pisces Palace. When a mission requires it, she is adept at all kinds of etiquette and social interactions.

　Drinking is, of course, another matter.

　In fact, she and Olivia will also return to the Duke's mansion with Claire tomorrow, and who knows when they will see each other again.

　It was several months later.

　Midway through the meal, Ollie sat down and had a couple of drinks, and the atmosphere at the table gradually improved.

　Dak offered a toast with tea instead of wine, sharing a cup with everyone present, and drank it all in one gulp.

　Late at night, Dark and Aurora left the teachers' dormitory together, but went to the Magical Creatures Club first. They reopened the [Paradise] in the clubroom and then summoned the magical spirits one by one.

　As the delicate fragrance of the Healing Flower gradually dissipates, the magical spirits gain more and more space to move around.

　Previously, the magical spirits could only return to their magic cards to sleep at night, but now they can finally see the dawn.

　The moon at 10 o'clock.

　They can suddenly have several more hours to study!

　Dak was genuinely happy about this.

　The next morning, Dark got up early, washed up, and rushed out of the tower to Claire's dormitory to help her.

　She carried her bags and suitcases to the dragon-training platform.

　Aurora left a little later and went directly to the Dragon Taming Platform to wait.

　Professor Sylph was also there, and two trainers were calming the mount.

　Dak put down the luggage, and the trainer carried it onto the back of the wyvern and secured it with ropes.

　The morning breeze was cold, making one instinctively curl up into a ball.

　Dak patted his cheeks and rejoined Aurora.

　Claire then went to Professor Sylph's side and spoke to her in a low voice.

　But not long after, she walked up to Dak again and opened her arms to him.

　Claire's smile was so radiant that it made the spring breeze pale in comparison.

　Dark felt a warmth in his heart, so he took half a step forward and hugged her.

　Half a minute later, the two separated at the same time, leaving their respective body temperatures on their skin.

　"I'm going back now. You must do your best," Claire said softly.

　Dak nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

　“Mm,” Claire responded, then suddenly whispered in his ear, “I hope that next time we meet, you will…”

　Bring home the Golden Cup trophy.

　Dark was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Then why was his mouth covered by Claire's hand, silencing him instantly?"

　Claire said, "It's all about human effort, isn't it?"

　Dark said with a hint of helplessness, "Then I'll do my best."

　I met someone yesterday morning who hoped he could make it to the top 16, and now another one has appeared this morning.

　Those who hope he wins the championship.

　But he's only a second-grade baby!

　“Sometimes you’re just too indecisive,” Claire shook her head and said, then added, “But that’s just the way I like it. Keep it up, don’t embarrass your teacher!”

　Dark said helplessly, "I will."

　Claire smiled, looked up, and took a step back.

　Just as Dak was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Ollie came up again, looked into his eyes, and said, "Young Master, could I have a hug too?"

　“Of course.” Dark leaned forward and felt the different sensation in his chest again.

　Ollie wrapped her arms around him tightly, rested her chin on his shoulder, and gently bit his ear with her cheek.

　Then quickly separate.

　[Paradise +1]

　Dak froze, quickly regaining his composure, and looked at Ollie with a reproachful expression.

　Ollie chuckled and said, "Angrey said she also wants a hug."

　Angry, who had been standing by watching, blushed and awkwardly started fidgeting with his fingers.

　Her figure was already petite, and this made her look even more youthful.

　You'd never guess she's a Pisces maid in charge of diplomacy.

　Dark smiled helplessly, then walked over to her and opened his arms.

　After hesitating for a moment, Angry opened his arms and gently hugged him, then pulled away immediately.

　Then, her face flushed, she said, "Young Master, could you give me a blessing?"

　Dark asked in confusion, "What kind of blessing?"

　Angrey said, "After I return this time, I will be able to enter the Golden Temple and undergo the Golden Trial. If I succeed in the trial, I will gain the recognition of the Golden Armor, and then..."

　Dark's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled slightly, "Aquarius?"

　Angry lowered his head and said, "Mm!"

　Dark gave her another warm hug and said, "I hope that next time we meet, we'll be real family."

　Angeli was stunned, but her heart gradually leaped with joy. She raised her head and said forcefully, "I will!"

　If she can inherit the [Twelve Gold Armor] this time, she will obtain the Dimon surname, and naturally, she will become the head of the family.

　People are here.

　"Here you are, little Aurora, let's hug." Claire hugged Aurora, smiling broadly.

　Be happy.

　It wasn't a big farewell, so there was no need to show sadness.

　Even after returning to the Duke's mansion, with Eve and Irene around, they would keep in touch frequently.

　After saying their goodbyes, Claire, Aurie, and Angry each mounted the dragon's back and rode the two-legged wyvern with outstretched wings.

　Up.

　Dak stood below, waving gently, his eyes filled with longing.

　No matter how cold the wind is, it can't blow away the warmth in my heart.

　"gone."

　Dak waved to Aurora.

　"Time to go to class."

　From that day forward, the research on the [Arrogance Rune] was officially put on the agenda.

　However, after mastering [Elysium IV], it was proven that this method was entirely feasible, therefore Dark turned against it.

　Instead of rushing, we will conduct research on it step by step.

　After the research progress slowed down, his academic life gradually returned to normal.

　Previously, in order to study [Elysium IV], he had almost cut off all social interaction, reaching a state of complete detachment from the outside world.

　Even things happening around us are no longer sensitive.

　Once things returned to normal today, he suddenly realized that Valentine's Day was less than a day away.

　It's a week!

　If we disregard personal matters, Valentine's Day is a complete harvest season for him.

　Aside from Christmas, there's probably no other time when you can reap more bliss than Valentine's Day!

　However, once personal matters are involved, troubles follow one after another.

　"What happened to the chocolates I received last year?"

　"I can't remember, it must have been taken away and eaten by some gluttons."

　Dak shook his head, pondering in class what kind of chocolate to make.

　Last year, he was the passive party, receiving gifts on Valentine's Day, February 14th, and returning gifts on White Day, March 14th.

　This year, he really didn't want to worry about the words of greeting when giving return gifts, so he decided to strike first and simply do it in February.

　On the 14th, deliver everything that needs to be delivered!

　But what to give, how to give it, and to whom to give it requires careful consideration.

　Sometimes being too popular can be really tough.

　Dak's thoughts were racing.

　In short, the first chocolate should definitely be given to my senior.

　As for the chocolate that followed.

　It's time to promote the concept of "obligation chocolate"!

　Dak is really annoyed.

　It wasn't until the bell rang that he was freed from his worries.

　Monday's classes are over.

　Tonight, there's a class on the tenth floor of the Spiral Clock Tower. The students are magical elves, and the teacher is the God of Wisdom. The lesson is on the creation of magical beasts!

　He went to the library to meet with Pandora, casually tested her waters, and also finished his homework.

　I rushed back to the clubroom before class started in the evening.

　As night falls, the tenth floor of the spiral clock tower remains brightly lit, resembling a white beam of light encircling the tower.

　The ring, seen in the darkness of night, is full of mystery.

　Since the founding of the Fantastic Beasts Club, this aura has almost never faded. Students have gradually become accustomed to it, going from frequently asking who was there to now simply glancing over and moving on, basically treating it as...

　It's considered a unique feature of the college, like the occasional, faint floral fragrance that wafts from somewhere.

　Dark sat in the living room of the clubroom waiting, and the other four members of the Fantastic Beasts Club were also present.

　Dark had been too busy lately to pay much attention to the movements of the magical spirits, but rather to the other club members.

　I have more contact with the magical spirits and am very clear about their new lessons.

　Especially senior Katrina, who serves as the potion teacher for the magical elves, has the responsibility to teach them about magic.

　The spirits learned about the course progress from their magic theory teacher, and thus had contact with Ergani.

　Once Katrina found out, Britney, the senior student, naturally found out as well.

　Diana and Rose need no further explanation.

　They couldn't wait to find out what kind of magical beasts the magic elves could summon!

　Ergani arrived promptly at 7:30 p.m.

　She nodded slightly to Dak and then walked to the next classroom.

　The magical elves who needed to attend class were already sitting in the classroom waiting.

　Dark and the club members exchanged glances, then quietly entered the classroom through the back door and sat down in the early morning seats.

　The prepared seats are against the wall.
