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

　Dac protested against this unauthorized entry, but the protest was ineffective.

　Pandora's eyes narrowed into thin slits, her long eyelashes trembling like ripples on water.

　Patricia Bolin was a well-known figure among the senior students of the Magic Academy, and the two knew each other.

　Patricia realized the situation was getting out of hand, so she immediately sat up straight and stopped making any small movements that might cause a misunderstanding, while inwardly cursing Winnie.

　Winnie Skadi, however, chuckled like a little fox. "Participate..."

　After a moment's thought, Dak chose between three options: "Participate in the Heroes' Conference," "Participate in the Golden Cup," and "Participate in the Academy Cup," and decisively chose option d.

　"What we participate in is a minor matter. Isn't my senior busy with research tonight?"

　Pandora Drogon's feigned "anger" didn't last long. She strode over to Dak and sat down, her icy expression melting away like snow.

　She had long realized that she could no longer maintain her composure in front of Dark. It was a change that wasn't drastic, but rather a gradual accumulation of subtle shifts.

　Sometimes, she would worry that she might become a weak woman who could be manipulated by her husband. But when she thought about it that way, she would think that wouldn't be so bad, and she couldn't help but laugh.

　She relaxed, letting herself sink into the sofa back, and looked at Patricia, who was inferior to her in every way, and said, "I just finished up a bit and was thinking of coming to see you. Why aren't you welcome?"

　“Of course you’re welcome.” Dak bent down, took out a new teacup, rinsed the inside with tea, poured in fresh tea, and moved it in front of Pandora.

　After receiving a satisfactory answer, Pandora turned to Patricia Pollin and said, "Patricia Pollin, fourth year, Winnie has already told me that you've come here on important business. Could you tell me what it is? I'm curious."

　"Senior Dhoragon," Patricia greeted him, then looked at Dark, clearly asking a question.

　Dark shook his head and said, "This isn't something that's appropriate to discuss here. I'll explain it to my senior in detail when we have time later."

　Simply put, there are too many irrelevant people.

　Besides Winnie Skadi, the group of girls from the Magic Academy had also arrived. They were all standing at the door, chattering away, looking like they were watching a show.

　But Dark Dimon wasn't the type to be taken advantage of. He raised his head slightly and prepared to kick him out.

　Patricia Pollin saw through his intention and stood up first, saying, "That's all then. I had a very pleasant chat tonight, and I hope there will be another opportunity for us to have a long talk alone like tonight. I'll be going now."

　She quickly stood up, grabbed Winnie's hand, and headed for the door. "Wait a minute."

　"What are we waiting for? We're not waiting anymore!"

　Patricia forcibly pulled her away, opened the door, and left. The other girls were also rushed out by her one after another.

　Then she stepped out of the door, winking at Dark as she closed it, and added, "It's a date, right?"

　"I'd like to order some seaweed and fish skin." This sentence was left unsaid.

　Dark thought to himself, but after Patricia closed the door, he said to his senior, "Senior, that's not true."

　"Stop talking." Pandora suddenly turned around, cupped his cheek with her slender fingers, looked him intently in the eye, and said in a gentle tone with a hint of sadness, "I believe you."

　As Dak smelled the scent so close to him, he felt a subtle surge of emotion.

　Pandora Drogon maintained his original tone and continued, "I know, Patricia Pollin isn't in your fishpond." (Fishpond)

　[Little friend, why do you have so many question marks on your head? (jpg)]

　Pandora cupped Dark's face in her hands and continued, "Among the people who just came in, even if they were going to raise fish, they'd at least raise someone like Winnie, right?"

　"Clam" Dak.

　Pandora said resentfully, "If you want, I can help you catch her and put her in the fishpond, what do you think?"

　"Senior, this is a joke that's not appropriate..." Although Dark's face had been squashed flat, his mouth was still free to speak.

　“Sigh.” Pandora sighed heavily and said, “Boys are always fickle. An old woman like me will one day get wrinkles, grow old, and be swept into a corner of the room, dancing with dust from then on. I’ve heard that the Sage of Winter has a magic that can keep her young forever, like an iceberg. Winnie has inherited her mantle, and she will surely be forever new.”

　“…” Dark stopped talking. He rolled his eyes, lay down and gave up, letting his senior do as she pleased.

　Pandora said, "I actually overheard what you were talking about outside the door. You want to participate in Princess Elizabeth's marriage contest, right? Although she's a bit older than me, she's barely a passable fish."

　Even with such strong soundproofing in the office, you can still hear it.

　Dak rolled his eyes back, like a suffocating fish.

　Pandora continued her tirade: "Eliza, being a royal princess, must possess some secret to maintaining her youthful appearance. The age difference between you two is ultimately insignificant. If you wish, I can also help you catch her in the fishpond. What do you think? If Eliza isn't enough, there's Anna and Angie. They're younger than you and have a good impression of you. I think we can lure them in with just a little bait. What do you think?"

　Her eyes sparkled, full of sincerity.

　Dark's eyes were bright and full of sincerity. Pandora opened her mouth, wanting to continue speaking. Suddenly, Dark stepped forward and silenced her with a kiss.

　The office finally quieted down.

Chapter 844 She walked away shyly, leaning against the door, turning back to smell the green plum.

　Chapter 844 "70% Off Full Subscription" and she walked away shyly, leaning against the door and turning back, only to smell the green plum.

　After a full cup of tea's time, faint sounds gradually began to emerge in the office.

　Those were the sounds of their breaths, so close to each other.

　Dark had never held his breath for so long before. Only today did he realize that his lung capacity was so terrifying. What was even more terrifying was that his opponent... was still not satisfied.

　In the end, he still lost out in this protracted battle. Of course, what truly freed him from that lingering, humid warmth was the ever-ascending "ecstasy".

　Despite his mind and body being separated and under his extreme control, [Bliss +1] continued to emerge at a rate of one point per minute.

　In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed.

　He quickly pulled away, distancing himself from Pandora. Both their cheeks were flushed, and steam seemed to rise from their heads. For both Dark and Pandora, this was the first time they had such close, intimate contact with a member of the opposite sex. Although it was only from above, not below, it was enough to open up a new world for them.

　However, it originates from emotion but stops at the level of propriety.

　Neither of them pursued the matter further.

　The feelings between young boys and girls have a pure and beautiful quality.

　After calming his rising emotions, Dak whispered, "How about we raise our own fish from now on?"

　Pandora's eyes darted around as she said, "I was just joking." Dark's eyes held a hint of amusement: "Half-dragons live much longer than humans, and we have a long future ahead of us. Come stay at my house this holiday with Aunt Hephaestus."

　Pandora's body visibly stiffened for a moment, then she slowly lowered her head and whispered, "That depends on her opinion."

　In other words, she had no objection to it.

　Dark breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "It's not good for you to always stay at the academy during the holidays. Now that Aunt Hephaestus is with you, you should find a place to settle down. We can buy a house in the capital..."

　Pandora blinked, and suddenly changed from her little girl appearance back to her normal state.

　She raised her elbow slightly, leaned back on the sofa, and turned slightly towards Dark, saying, "It really is time to consider housing. With the title of professor, the church won't make things too difficult for us anymore. Even buying a house in the capital should be possible."

　Dark nodded and said, "Even so, it would be best to choose a residence near the Duke's mansion. If you are sure you are interested, I can have Eve pass on a message and look for suitable residences in advance."

　Pandora smiled and said, "Well, I'll talk to my mom about it when I get back... It's time to have a home."

　Darke then added, "If the King really wants to hold some kind of gathering of heroes during the holidays, you can try to participate."

　Pandora shook her head and said, "I'll pass. I'm not going to do something as stupid as attending the Hall of Heroes and working for the king."

　“That’s true.” Darke poured her a new cup of hot tea and said, “As long as you’re willing to work hard for me, that’s all that matters, senior.”

　Pandora glanced at her and chuckled softly, "You wish."

　Dark took her hand and said in a serious tone, "She's beautiful."

　After finishing the tea, wash the teaware.

　Dak then left the office with Pandora.

　He hadn't expected Pandora to make time for him to come; tonight was a pleasant surprise.

　This made him even clearer about the feelings between them. Feelings between a man and a woman should be a two-way street.

　Through playful teasing and prodding, sparks ignite, and emotions gradually intensify. Tonight, the moonlight, like water, reflects at our feet, rippling like gentle waves.

　The two walked along the moonlit castle corridors, each filled with joy.

　At St. Marian's College, the gap between top students and underachievers is multifaceted.

　Top students are at the forefront, having long since moved beyond textbooks, independently seeking out topics and conducting research, filling every single one of their 24 hours with their studies.

　Students with poor grades are generally confined to the textbook. Finishing their homework is the greatest self-discipline they can muster, and after that, it's time for play.

　Therefore, if both partners in a relationship are high-achieving students with a strong thirst for knowledge, then they will actually have very little time to spend together in their daily academic lives.

　Only during holidays do lovers spontaneously set aside time to go out together.

　Looking out of the castle windows, you can see many men and women strolling along the lake, enjoying the coolness and comfort of spring.

　As Dak walked, he stopped, rested his hands on the windowsill, and looked out the window.

　Beside him, Pandora stopped in the same manner. The two continued talking about what had happened that night as they walked away.

　Dark was definitely not trying to prove that there was no affair between him and senior Patricia Pollin; they were just having a normal chat about everyday things.

　At that moment, they finished talking about Patricia and started discussing the "Golden Cup" points competition.

　—Who knows why men and women would talk about the "Golden Cup" on a white day like Teen Day!

　In any case, Pandora made it clear that she was determined to win the "Golden Cup" championship and would show no mercy to Dark if she encountered him.

　Although Dak said "Don't do this," he didn't actually back down at all.

　The pink atmosphere that had been painstakingly cultivated was almost shattered by these two.

　But before the atmosphere truly became tense, the two suddenly looked at each other and smiled, everything understood without words.

　The moonlight was full, and the sky seemed to hang high.

　Dark stopped talking about things that would spoil the atmosphere and instead whispered about trivial matters as he and Pandora slowly walked from the lower level of the castle to the upper level.

　While others went down, they went up, which naturally made it more peaceful.

　After purification, a sense of tranquility arises.

　As the mood deepened, even trivial matters were no longer mentioned.

　Shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, just walking like that, it's as if time flows by on both sides, pushing people towards the future.

　Before they knew it, the two had reached the top of the castle. "I remember we had a barbecue here once."

　Dark casually summoned the mindless "Ditto," transforming it into a soft chair that lay horizontally on a slightly higher platform, and pulled Pandora to sit down.

　“Back then, I actually really liked it,” Pandora said with a smile. “When can we do it again?”

　Dark smiled and said, "Anytime is fine." Pandora said, "Just the two of us." Dark said, "Yes, just the two of us."

　"Ding dong."

　The clock struck twelve.

　The boy and girl, who were snuggling together, suddenly woke up. The latter instinctively moved away to one side, but then moved back halfway and gently rested her head on the boy's shoulder, gazing up at the sky.

　After a short while, the two spoke quietly. The boy reminded them, "It's time to go back." The girl replied, "Wait a little longer." The girl reminded them, "It's getting late." The boy replied, "Wait a little longer." They lingered for another half hour, sipping their drinks. Only then did they reluctantly part ways.

　Once tonight is over, who knows when will I have another chance to be alone like this again?

　Dark escorted Pandora to the outside of the Magic Academy tower, opened the gate as a professor, and then kissed her goodbye outside the door.

　There are poems:

　A quiet, beautiful maiden awaits me at the city corner. I love her, but she is not there; I scratch my head, hesitant and uncertain. A quiet, lovely maiden presents me with a red writing brush. The red writing brush shines brightly, delighting in her beauty. She returned from the pasture to the Yellow River, her beauty unique and extraordinary. It is not the maiden herself who is beautiful, but the gift from the beautiful woman.

　Love in youth is sweet as honey; every separation and reunion is filled with deep affection.

　Love in one's youth seems to be synonymous with eternity. Dak stood quietly outside the door for a long time, waiting for the wind to subside before turning and leaving.

　Halfway there, the "gate card" vibrated; it was Pandora asking if he had returned.

　“Already arrived…” Dark wrote, then quickly crossed it out and edited it again, “Almost there.”

　Pandora replied, "I'll wash up first, then we'll talk." Dark replied with a smile, "I won't wash up."

　After a while, when the senior student didn't reply, Dak got bored. Once he returned to the tower dormitory safely, he replied "Arrived" and then took a shower and changed.

　It was washed off eventually.

　Afterwards, the two said goodnight to each other and turned the page on their schedules.

　On Sundays, many couples continue their dates from the previous day.

　But Dark and Pandora have both returned to their own paces. Dark has no matches today, so he spends almost the entire day in the secluded laboratory behind the teachers' dormitory.

　The initial experimental preparations for "Demon King No. 2" were completed faster than expected, even faster than the preparations for "Paradise Version of Elysium".

　But the professors did not slacken their efforts. Instead, they used this as a basis to conduct a simulation of the alchemy experiment and made further adjustments. They expect to complete the second version of the experimental preparation by next Sunday, followed by the third version the following week.
