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

　According to Professors Kazel and Sylph's plan, they would give Menka as an Easter egg for the Easter Duel Festival.

　Previously, this information would only be leaked unintentionally through "rumors".

　Dark then tried asking, "Senior, do you know about the Easter Duel Festival?"

　Pandora paused for a moment, then asked with interest, "You mean there's a dueling tournament this Easter?"

　“I think so.” Dark nodded. “It’s said that the winner will receive a very valuable prize.”

　Pandora, however, had a change of heart and said, "Since it's an Easter competition, wouldn't we have a chance to compete against each other?"

　Dark scratched his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. I heard that they'll be grouped by grade level."

　“That’s a real shame.” Pandora said with a hint of disappointment, “If it’s too boring, I might not participate.”

　Dark winked, hinting, "Perhaps the reward will be a surprise."

　Pandora turned her head, covered her mouth and laughed, "Don't use 'rumors,' 'hearsay,' or 'maybe,' just tell me directly, okay?"

　Hey hey hey.

　Dark, slightly exasperated, simply said, "The professors will put a keycard inside the winner's Easter egg. The holder of the keycard can freely enter and exit the secret passage. Furthermore, as a similar product to the Sorting Card, the keycard has many interesting features..."

　Small features. For example, the ability for cardholders to exchange cards. "Done?" Pandora asked.

　Dark nodded: "Mm."

　Pandora shook her head: "That's not exactly an appealing point. I'm not that interested in secret passages."

　Dak smiled slightly: "Then enjoy the holiday."

　Pandora raised her hand, her slender index finger pointing to the corner of her mouth: "I can cheer you on."

　She could clearly tell that Dark would be participating in this duel festival.

　Dark didn't try to persuade him further, but reached into the drawer, took out the chocolate gift box for Pandora from his bag, and then...

　It was placed on the table: "A return gift."

　Pandora smiled, reached out and tapped the chocolate gift box, and asked softly, "Can I expect a surprise?"

　Dark thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps."

　Pandora complained, "Couldn't you have used a declarative sentence?"

　Dark: "That's possible."

　Pandora blinked, took the chocolate gift box in her hand and shook it: "When we get back tonight, I'll enjoy your surprise."

　Seeing that she was about to get up, Dak asked, "Are you on duty this afternoon?"

　"No, thank you." Pandora shook her head. "I have an experiment to do today, so I have to go."

　With that, she got up and left, leaving behind only a faint fragrance.

　Dark looked in the direction she left for a while before turning back to reopen "Easter: Revelation," but his notes...

　My attention is no longer on the book.

　"So, she specifically set aside time to get the chocolate. After pondering it for a while, Dak took 'Easter: Revelation' to the counter to register for rental, and then left."

　I went to the library.

　In any case, the chocolates given in return have been given, and these external matters can finally come to an end.

　With only two weeks left until Easter, he still has a lot of preparations to make.

　Although the rules for the Easter Duel Festival have not yet been released, since it is a school-wide competition, it will inevitably follow the rules of a formal competition, with strict requirements on the number of magic cards that participants can bring.

　This means that at least forty magic cards are needed.

　The only uncertainty is which level of Magic Ball Life Barrier will be used in this match.

　The life barrier of the magic orb has five levels, each corresponding to a magic power value of 1000, 2000, 4000, and 800 respectively.

　0, 16000.

　The most formal competition Dark has participated in so far was the last rookie tournament. But that was only the second level, the Magic Ball Life...

　The barrier's magic power is only 2000 points.

　This Easter Duel Festival, of course, cannot be a rookie tournament.

　Considering that the grades are divided into groups from third grade to fourth grade, and groups from fourth grade to third grade, the magic power of the magic ball life barrier for the lower grade groups...

　The value will most likely be 4000 points for the third level, while the value for the senior group should be 8000 points for the fourth level.

　Of course, it is also possible that all of them will use the fourth level of 8000 points.

　Dark didn't intend to ask Professor Cazell about this; he was filled with anticipation for the impending changes and focused more of his energy on...

　The focus was on training the remote control of the magic ball.

　This Easter Duel Festival is a rare opportunity for students in the grade to compete against third-year students.

　When facing off against third-year students, the control and manipulation of the magic ball will inevitably be involved.

　A normal third-year student wouldn't be like Angelia, who has absolutely no dueling experience.

　How to cāo

　Using the magic orb to dodge the opponent's attacks, even multitasking simultaneously.

　Using magic orbs and summoning magical spirits, or forcibly manipulating...

　Send the opponent's magic ball to the destination

　Various methods are constantly emerging.

　Especially for competitions like the Easter Duel Festival, which are also for entertainment, there's always the possibility of someone deliberately messing with the participants.

　In short, it's something to look forward to.

　While Dak was traveling between the library and the dormitory, the three girls who had received Valentine's Day gifts were all returning to their dorms.

　She then immediately opened the chocolate gift box.

　Eudora rushed back to her dormitory without even having lunch.

　After she entered the bedroom, she put down her schoolbag and pounced onto the bed, her petite body sinking into the blankets.

　Holding the ribbon-tied chocolate box up to her face with both hands, Eudora chuckled, unable to contain her excitement.

　From being explicitly rejected when he invited Dark to dance before Christmas to receiving a Valentine's Day gift in return, this kind of effort has paid off.

　Crossing over barriers captivated her.

　Although she knew in her heart that this wasn't a return gift in the traditional sense, it was still better than giving chocolates on Valentine's Day.

　After that, the girl who didn't make a sound was undoubtedly one of the lucky ones.

　"This should be considered taking the first step, right?"

　Eudora rubbed her cheek against the chocolate gift box, her two big, star-like eyes narrowing into two crescent moons.

　"After the first step, she took the second step and lay on the bed, happily opening the chocolate gift box."

　Once the gift box was opened, the aroma of chocolate mixed with fruit wafted out.

　Eudora sniffed closer, then her eyes lit up: "There's wine inside!"

　The chocolates she gave to Dak also contained alcohol.

　This similarity suddenly made her feel more recognized.

　"Great!"

　Eudora parted her pink lips, picked out a chocolate with a liqueur filling, and took a small bite.

　The chocolate with its subtle fruity aroma always seemed much tastier than the ones she made herself.

　After licking the elven liquor from the center of the chocolate, a blush quietly appeared on Eudora's face.

　At the same time, the magic power within my body became noticeably more active, making me feel completely comfortable.

　Surprise flashed in her eyes: "What kind of wine is this?"

　After a while, savoring the lingering aftertaste of the fairy wine, she picked up the card from the box and looked at the words on it:

　With academic achievements, a bright future awaits.

　Dakdimon (gift)

　Eudora suddenly covered her cheeks, her eyes becoming veiled with a hazy mist.

　"Keep it up, Eudora!"

　On the other side.

　After having lunch with Dark, Diana and Rose playfully returned to their dormitory.

　After putting her backpack back in her dorm room, Rose went to Diana's dorm room.

　The two placed their respective gift boxes of chocolates on the table and decided to open them together.

　Diana stared at the chocolate gift box and muttered, "If I hadn't run into Eudora on Valentine's Day, I definitely would have succeeded. Ugh!"

　Rose glanced away, looking slightly embarrassed.

　She has yet to tell Diana that she was the first person Dark met on Valentine's Day morning.

　Although that rumor is definitely false, it's definitely false!

　Rose composed herself and said, "Let's open it and see. I guess it's handmade chocolate."

　Diana chuckled, "I think so too. Dark is always so serious. Come on, let's start dismantling."

　After saying that, the two of them simultaneously opened the chocolate gift box.

　The boxes contained nine liqueur-filled chocolates arranged in three rows per box.

　The surface of the chocolate even has some fine lines.

　"It's a bear design!"

　Diana's eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up a chocolate and started spinning it around.

　Rose carefully picked up a piece and said, "Mine has a rabbit design."

　Then she looked at the cards in the box.

　But at the same time, the full text is available for free reading.

　Diana, however, couldn't wait to stuff the chocolate into her mouth.

　She took a big bite and ate half of the chocolate, revealing the elven liquor hidden inside.

　"Woo!"

　In the nick of time, Diana took a deep breath and inhaled all the fairy wine.

　"It's wine!"

　Her eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up the second chocolate.

　"Rose, this is delicious! Try some!"

　Diana suppressed her surprise and turned to look at Rose, only to see Rose...

　He was staring at a card, his gaze trembling slightly.

　"Um"

　Diana couldn't resist leaning over for a peek.

　What comes into view is an adorable composition of a bear, a rabbit, and a cat perched on a crescent moon, their little feet peeking out.

　For Diana, delicious liqueur-filled chocolates might be the best gift.

　But for Rose, this card might be the best.

　Rose was overjoyed and decided to take it home and frame it.

　Diana then picked up her own card.

　The image of the greedy little bear drawn on the card made her blush slightly, and she reluctantly took another bite of the liqueur-filled chocolate.
