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

　Some people, however, preferred to stay in the common room and observe. They had a certain degree of confidence in themselves and were not particularly concerned about information leaks.

　Regardless of the specific rules, having one's identity revealed at this time is extremely dangerous.

　Of course, there are always exceptions.

　There are always some people who can't control their mouths.

　Dark sat there, occasionally teasing the little devilmon, waiting for the appointed time to arrive.

　Meanwhile, in the office of Vice Principal Sarah Sylph.

　Doron wanted to stay, but Pistan pulled him away.

　Knowing that Diana definitely couldn't control Rose, she also pulled her back to the dormitory.

　The common lounge gradually became less crowded.

　The pre-set loops have already automatically calculated the results.

　The reason they were sitting there was simply to see how their students would answer.

　Each student received a different question. Even the last math question was randomly selected from a pool of thousands of questions.

　All the math teachers for the six grades were in their office.

　Magic circles unfolded before them, and the students' answers, which formed test papers, were displayed on the magic circles.

　These papers do not actually need to be corrected.

　Professor Lily, who was sitting among them, suddenly exclaimed.

　The elderly professor beside her couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

　Lily stared at the exam paper in front of her, then suddenly looked horrified: "What's going on? How could Darker have gotten it wrong?"

　However, some bias can still be seen in these questions.

　They then assign student status based on these biases.

　"what!"

　Professor Ricky Eric, a third-year student, asked curiously, "Is it really that scary? Even if Darkdemon really wrote it, there shouldn't be any problem, right? Everyone makes mistakes."

　Lily puffed out her cheeks and shook her head vigorously.

　Professor Eric then burst into laughter.

　"Oh, oh, oh!" The professors immediately surrounded them.

　But after a moment, Professor Lars Merno, a first-year student, concluded: "This was not filled out by Darkdemon."

　After being reminded, Lily quickly flipped through the pages, and after a while breathed a sigh of relief: "That scared me to death, Lily!"

　Time flew by amidst the professors' laughter and chatter.

　Almost exactly nine o'clock, all the students' sorting cards vibrated and emitted a "beep beep beep" notification sound.

　The office was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

　By the way, the person in charge of this year's masquerade ball is none other than Professor Lily Laplace!

　Congratulations on your new identity—a vampire!

　The students quickly infused their magic to activate their Sorting Cards.

　Dark glanced around, then opened his Sorting Card and began to open the letter.

　A line of text clearly appears on the card.

　After confirming his identity, Dak immediately looked up and around.

　Among those remaining in the common room, from first to sixth graders, were quite a few familiar faces.

　Of course, there were also some people wearing leather suits who couldn't resist.

　The moment Dark saw the word "vampire," a smile immediately appeared on his face.

　Since they chose to dress up as vampires, it's only fitting that they are vampires.

　Even the little devilmon couldn't help but let out a "hehehe" laugh.

　"Beep——"

　The notification sound from the college card brought the students who had been observing others back to their senses.

　He observed the subtle expressions on those people's faces and tried to remember them.

　The new identity element added to this year's Halloween event has made him subconsciously take it seriously.

　He had a vague premonition that the competition with the upperclassmen would probably begin before the Golden Cup even started!

　Little Devimon lowered its head from the shoulder and peered closely.

　"I see."

　A few minutes later, Dak finally understood the rules of this year's masquerade ball.

　Then they immediately discovered that the long-awaited event rules had finally been announced!

　The professors chose to announce the rules after assigning roles, which perfectly set the tone for the event.

　Dark noticed the rulebook included in the Sorting Card and began to examine it carefully.

　The map will show one hundred resource points.

　The monsters in these resource points are relatively powerful, and can be considered "elite".

　Defeating them will naturally grant you more credits and better resource rewards.

　Overall, this is a set of rules that combines orienteering and Werewolf.

　This year's masquerade ball was no longer aimless.

　Each student receives a map when the masquerade ball officially begins—still at 6 p.m. sharp.

　Besides this part of the rules.

　The college also assigns each student an identity, based on which they will gain different abilities.

　First, there are nine types of identities:

　But to find them and summon them, you need to solve a puzzle—which is exactly the same as the "simulated adventure test" that Professor Pavajohns conducted in his dueling class.

　If you can successfully defeat 20 of these 100 resource points before the masquerade ball ends, you will receive a very substantial amount of extra credits!

　This means that if you want to win first place at this year's masquerade ball, competing for resource points will be of paramount importance.

　4 Fairies

　5 Zombies

　6 witches

　1 Vampire

　2 Werewolves

　3 Ghosts

　10 Titans

　among them.

　Vampires' ability is to suck blood.

　7 Phoenix

　8 Pumpkin Lanterns

　9 Behemoth

　The ghost's ability is to steal.

　Steal: After designating a target other than a ghost, if you can follow the target within ten meters for three minutes without being detected, you can steal five percent of the target's credits (only obtainable during events).

　Fairies' power is to cause trouble.

　Vampire: After revealing your identity to someone other than a vampire or werewolf, you will have the opportunity to duel them. If you win the duel, you will gain 10% of the opponent's credits (obtainable only during the event). If you lose the duel, you will have to pay 10% of the credits (obtainable only during the event).

　The werewolf's ability is to plunder.

　Plunder: After revealing your identity to anyone other than werewolves and vampires, you will have the opportunity to duel them. If you win the duel, you will gain 20% of the opponent's credits (obtainable only during the event). If you lose the duel, you will have to pay 40% of the credits (obtainable only during the event).

　The witch's ability is divination.

　Divination: After revealing your identity to anyone other than the witch, you will have one chance to guess their identity. If you guess correctly, you will gain 5% of their credit (obtained only during the event). If you guess incorrectly, you must pay 10% of their credit (obtained only during the event).

　The Phoenix's power is rebirth.

　Mischief: When you discover that someone other than a fairy is solving the puzzle at a resource point, you can gain ownership of that resource point by solving it first after revealing your identity.

　The zombie's ability is to infect.

　Infection: Can only be used on people other than zombies, turning them into zombies for three minutes. During these three minutes, both players will share 10% of the credits earned from killing ghosts and will suffer the same fate.

　Behemoth's power is to become a monster.

　Monsters: Defeating a Boss-level monster will grant you ten times the credits. However, a mark will light up above its head, allowing anyone to duel it. The winner of the duel can take the monster's credits (credits gained from defeating the Boss-level monster) and swap identities with it, while the loser will pay 5% of their own credits.

　Titan's power is lightning strike.

　Nirvana: You will gain a chance to choose your identity again. Before Nirvana, you will be immune to all abilities.

　The jack-o'-lantern's power is to provide light.

　Lights: Monsters killed after lighting lights, as well as resource points conquered, will gain an additional 5% credit (obtained only during the event).

　All abilities except theft have a range of less than five meters.

　After each use of the ability, there will be a three-minute cooldown period.

　Lightning Punishment: Upon revealing your identity to anyone other than a Titan, if they have obtained credits from a lower-grade student within the previous three minutes, they will be punished with Lightning Punishment, forfeiting 5% of their credits (obtained only during events). If the judgment is incorrect, the same 5% credit penalty will apply (obtained only during events).

　Finally, all of the above abilities can only be used once on the same person.

　If these identities and abilities can be effectively utilized, the fun of this Halloween event will surely be greatly enhanced.

　He even felt it was a pity to use this set of rules only once.

　This can be applied to all kinds of competitions, and it can also be used for next year's Halloween event.

　"Ten identities, ten abilities!"

　After reading it, Dak couldn't help but gasp.

　The author who came up with this set of rules in such a short time is a genius!

　Dark's gaze shifted, and he noticed that the students in the common room all looked restless.

　Of these ten identities, only werewolves and vampires can be considered to be on the same side; they cannot attack each other and have no shared interests.

　This means that if werewolves and vampires can verify each other's identities, they can cooperate and share information.

　However, just how interesting a masquerade ball under these rules will be remains to be seen until you experience it for yourself.

　Dark's eyes gleamed; he couldn't wait any longer.

　"It's a pity the masquerade ball doesn't officially start until after 6 PM. During that time, I'll have to stay in the dorm. Maybe I can start searching for targets now?"

　"I see. Those who don't want to reveal their identities or have their identities investigated can return to their dormitories now. Those with other intentions can continue until six o'clock."

　Dark smiled slightly, and after playing with Devimon for a while, he left the common room.

　He is a vampire.

　Both zombies and jack-o'-lanterns are harmless. If a zombie can find enough jack-o'-lanterns, it can use its abilities to efficiently collect credits.

　And the witches, finding out the identities of more people as early as possible, is very beneficial to them.

　"If it were me, I might get a status like a pumpkin lantern."

　"That would be really boring!"

　"In terms of excitement, vampires are only slightly less thrilling than werewolves."

　Staying in the common room will only increase the risk of exposure if you don't want to seek cooperation.

　After that, he only needed to rest and recuperate in his dormitory to prepare for the opening of the dance at six o'clock in the evening, and then play the role of a vampire!
