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

　Building games are such a time killer!

　Dak rubbed his temples, feeling that he should be wary of the "mind palace".

　You must never let frivolous pursuits distract you from your studies!

　He stood up, yawned, and casually asked "Little Devimon" if the "Protecting the Chicks" operation downstairs was over.

　As a result, "Little Devimon" went on and on, bragging about how great their Christmas decorations were.

　He had no choice but to ask a different magical spirit.

　They then learned that the "Protecting the Chicks" operation was still ongoing and showed no signs of ending.

　"It's already eleven o'clock."

　He glanced up at the clock on the wall, somewhat speechless. "Should we go take another look?"

　With that in mind, after washing up, Dak put on his pajamas, pushed open the door, and went out.

　The corridor was quiet.

　It doesn't feel like a holiday at all.

　But as soon as you reach the stairwell, a cacophony of voices bursts forth.

　It is clear that the "Protecting Chicks" campaign is not over yet.

　Judging from this discussion, the event has likely already gone awry.

　Dak went downstairs and saw that there were indeed more people in the common room than before.

　Students from all grades were crammed inside, making it packed to the brim.

　Only a small open space was left in the very center.

　In the open space, there was a round table and two chairs.

　A man and a woman sat on either side.

　Dak stood at the top of the stairs, looking over the crowd at the two people. He felt that although he didn't recognize them, they looked very familiar.

　After a moment's recollection, I remembered that they must have been a couple I often saw on Lover's Bridge.

　But at this moment, the couple was at loggerheads. He stood there for a while and finally understood.

　The original "Truth or Dare" segment has been transformed into a "Truth or Dare Test" activity!

　The previous "Truth or Dare" segment could barely be considered an activity designed to pair men and women together.

　The current "test of true love" clearly looks like an event designed to break up men and women.

　Moreover, it seems to be a paid event!

　On the round table stood a sign that read, "One question worth ten credits." The "Goddess of Intuition" sat beside it, arms crossed, her expression serious. Each time a boy or girl answered a question, she would raise an "O" or an "X."

　As she continued to offer her judgments, the atmosphere between the couple grew increasingly heavy.

　"＂

　Dark couldn't help but cover his forehead.

　He originally thought his magical spirit would know its limits, but he never expected it to be this kind of "limitations".

　Compared to this, the previous "protecting the young" operation was nothing. He couldn't even imagine how many couples would break up because of this.

　The key point is that the students gathered there all looked very serious and focused, without a trace of joking or laughing.

　Dak couldn't help but suspect that they had already identified themselves as "judges".

　Each couple who takes the stage is subject to judgment from both sides.

　It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it "Best Program of the Year".

Chapter 1398 Darkdemon is not a succubus (4k)

　This is the situation.

　While every couple hopes their partner will be absolutely honest with them, in reality, this is almost impossible. Especially over time, various reasons will inevitably lead to lies.

　Although some lies are actually just harmless little things, they can easily be magnified in this situation.

　The result of making a big deal out of small things is a breakup!

　……

　"After a breakup, remember to focus your time on studying."

　Dark watched for a while longer, but ultimately left without saying a word.

　After all, breaking up isn't all bad.

　Being in a college means you should study hard. If you can't be self-disciplined, you need someone to help you be self-disciplined.

　As the saying goes, everyone has their own destiny!

　If you can't even overcome this small hurdle, it's better to break up sooner rather than later, to avoid a more helpless breakup later.

　Dak returned to his dormitory and went to sleep fully clothed.

　Today, he went to bed earlier than most students at the academy of nobles.

　On Wednesday, December 23rd, just before dawn, snowflakes began to fall gently from the sky.

　Dark got up early, had breakfast with Aurora, and then took her to the dragon training platform.

　"Snake Goddess" Nix accompanied them all the way, leading them by the hand like two sisters.

　There were already dragons waiting by the dragon-training platform, but under Nix's intimidation, they didn't dare to utter a sound.

　Darke immediately recognized it as a wyvern borrowed from the maids of the Duke's mansion.

　He frowned slightly at this.

　This bipedal dragon can only serve as a mount; although it is a sub-dragon, its intelligence is only average, and it is far from being able to act as a "protective umbrella."

　"How about this."

　He turned to face Aurora and said, "Let's switch dragons." Then, amidst Aurora's puzzled gaze, he called out. A moment later, the Mountain Giant's Sword flew in from the sky in the form of a "Fossil Aerial Dragon."

　Dark reached out and embraced the drooping dragon head, whispering, "Escorting them to the City of Freedom is feasible."

　“Of course, no problem.” A slight smile appeared on the corner of the Mountain Giant’s mouth.

　Dark said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't let you spend Christmas here with me."

　"Mountain Giant's Sword" laughed: "It's just a small holiday. Christmas in the City of Freedom must be much more lively."

　Dark said, "With you here, I feel much more at ease." [Mountain Giant's Sword] said, "Leave it to me."

　"I'll be there after Christmas," Dark said. "See you then."

　Two minutes later, Professor Sylph arrived with a gentle morning breeze and greeted Dark and the others.

　Then she raised her wand and drew circles in the air, and a huge circle appeared in the sky.

　"Goodbye."

　Aurora and Nix boarded the dragon's back together and waved goodbye to Dark and Professor Sylph.

　"be careful."

　Dak raised his hand and waved lightly, watching him leave.

　The "Fossilized Aerial Dragon" formed from the "Sword of the Mountain Giant" let out a soft cry and rushed into the barrier gate at an extremely fast speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

　Whether in terms of strength, speed, intelligence, or even experience, the "Mountain Giant's Sword" is far superior to that of a two-legged wyvern.

　Although Nix is ​​a goddess, she is still a child at heart, lacking thoroughness in dealing with matters and easily taken advantage of.

　With the "Mountain Giants' Club" there, there was another pillar of support. Dak felt relieved and walked and talked with Professor Sylph before parting ways outside the castle.

　The snow was gradually increasing, but it only accumulated in a thin layer on the rooftops and the ground before quickly melting into water.

　"At this scale, it seems unlikely that a thick layer of snow will form."

　But as soon as Dark finished speaking, he saw a little goblin fly into the sky. He immediately shut his mouth.

　If the snow isn't heavy enough, then let it be heavy. It's already quite good that it didn't snow out of thin air. "It looks like Christmas this year will be snowy white again."

　After nine o'clock, more and more students emerged from the various towers.

　To their surprise, the entire academy was buried under a thick layer of snow.

　To everyone's surprise, the temperature dropped to freezing.

　They quickly bought new clothes, a scarf, gloves, and finally a bright red woolen hat.

　The sorrow brought by last night's "protecting the chicks" operation did not last overnight.

　The students stepped into the open space through the thick snow, and laughter gradually filled the air.

　Dak, on the other hand, returned to his dorm room and took a nap.

　With Christmas approaching, he indulged in a rare luxury.

　With the system notification of "[Laziness +1]", Dark wrapped himself in winter clothes, yawned slightly, got up and went to the balcony to look out the window.

　In an instant, a blanket of white came into view.

　Not only the square in front of the castle, but even the dense forests further away were covered in snow.

　The entire world was a vast expanse of white, and the lake was covered with a thick layer of ice, where students were skating and racing.

　Nearby, the spiral clock tower had been decorated as a giant Christmas tree, with snow piled up on its branches and icicles hanging down as if it might fall at any moment.

　However, looking down, one can see snowflakes swirling, indicating that a wind barrier has been set up below the clock tower.

　After all, falling objects from high altitudes are extremely dangerous.

　The magical sprites who decorated the spiral clock tower like a giant Christmas tree did not neglect safety measures.

　If Dak slightly shifts his perspective, he can see the magical elves climbing up and down inside the spiral clock tower, transporting all sorts of items upwards.

　At the top of the tower, several dragons were putting bright red Santa hats on the enormous Christmas tree.

　Several other magical sprite emblems were used to hang huge gift boxes on the branches of the Christmas tree.

　The gift boxes were all empty; you could just lift the lid and crawl inside, like a cabin on a Ferris wheel.

　Dak suspected that the giant Christmas tree might spin.

　When Christmas Eve arrives, light up the countless lights on the Christmas tree, play music, and make it spin. Sit on a gift box with your loved ones to welcome the midnight bells.

　Just thinking about it is enough to touch me.

　But Dak raised his hand, breathed on it, and walked into the room.

　That's all for this year's extravagance.

　It's time to eat.

　After lunch.

　Dark first went to the Traveler's Street and obtained firsthand information from the maid.

　And I also picked up the custom-made dress I'll be wearing tomorrow night.

　Upon returning to his dormitory, he first reviewed the intelligence, then tried on his formal attire, continued reading architecture books for a while, and finally returned to his research on the golems of the "Golden Kingdom Alchemists."

　He still has two "Golden Kingdom Alchemist" golems to complete independently, so he can never relax.

　Only by seizing the time to make up for one's shortcomings can one achieve this small goal as soon as possible.

　Only after that can he move on to his next target.

　Doing the same thing for too long can get boring, and he needs new goals to keep himself motivated.

　However, today is already December 23rd, and tomorrow night is Christmas Eve.

　Girls who want to invite him to dance at the Christmas party should hurry up and take the first step.

　In short, the first step always starts with handing out cards.

　Dak was used to this, since it was something that happened almost every year.

　He had thought that the number of girls inviting him this year would be much smaller, but he didn't expect that they would all just wait until today.
