Chapter 89 Dark Demon's Masquerade Invitation
***Edited By Kronost***
In the common room.
Dark put down the newspaper and looked at the information about Scott recorded in his notebook. He had a preliminary understanding of the second-year senior.
Scott was actually somewhat of a famous person in the second grade.
Although it was in the negative sense.
When his family situation changed suddenly, most of his classmates were actually afraid of irritating him, so they never mentioned it.
But he still misunderstood it.
The classmates were actually quite helpless. It was only the second month after enrolling, and the relationship between everyone was not so good, so they just let it go.
In short, everyone has their own way of living.
...
On Sunday, Dark fermented all three remaining White Wood Fruits and Blue Fruits into juice, then mixed and stirred them to make [Energy Potion].
In this way, he had 5 [Energy Potion] cards.
Although it was not possible to use more than 3 cards of the same type in a formal duel match, there was no such restriction outside the match.
Dark was already preparing for the masquerade party.
...
The people who were preparing for the masquerade party, of course, were not only limited to Dark alone.
It was whether for the credits or the title of year champion or to attract the attention of the princesses.
In short, the first-year students became more serious than ever before.
People who never went to the library before, now often run to the library.
The reading room, which always had vacant seats, was also overcrowded.
It didn't matter if it was temporary, or they have completely changed, in short, the effect of the masquerade party seemed to have appeared.
Students of this age need to be motivated.
...
In the first class on Monday, Professor Silver mentioned the rules of the masquerade party. The specific rules had been logged into the sorting cards and could be viewed at any time.
Professor Cazer became more and more busy making ghosts, and even Professor Lily was dragged to help.
And the arithmetic homework of the first-year students naturally fell on Dark's shoulders.
It was clearly just a week before Halloween, but it felt like it was just around the corner.
The students talked about Halloween topics every day; whether it was makeup, ghosts, credits, or the princesses, they never got tired of talking about it.
And on Wednesday, no one knew who brought it up first, but the topic of "dancing partners" broke out among the first-year students!
A topic that was only popular among senior students, finally appeared amongst first year students.
This seemed to be an opportunity for the little magisters to awaken the awareness of the opposite sex.
And this point of time, nearly two months after enrollment, also happened to be the point in time when the little magisters had a moderate understanding of each other.
What is "moderate"?
It means to understand the surface of something but not in-depth.
In the world of men and women, only the first impression is the most beautiful, and the hazy love is the most desirable.
Once it goes too deep, it no longer stays that beautiful.
...
In short, it seemed that it has become a trend to send out invitations to the opposite sex.
There were also many ways of sending out invitations.
Someone would find someone to spread the word.
Someone would hand over a letter like a confession.
Some people would elaborate an invitation letter for the dance party.
As the most dazzling star of the freshman, Dark Demon enjoyed all these types of invitations.
For example, after Wednesday's summoning class, someone approached Dianna and asked her to pass only one sentence, and Dark even without knowing the person's name decisively refused.
Dianna happily relayed the words back.
And as soon as he left the house on Thursday morning, he found three letters in the crack of the door!
It was 6:15 in the morning.
No one was supposed to get earlier than him on weekdays!
Dark didn't ignore the three letters or threw them in the trash can.
Although it would be convenient, it was disrespectful to those people.
He picked up the three letters, opened them in the common room, and wrote back one by one.
The names were written on the letter papers, but there was no specific room number, so he was unable to return the letter for the time being.
Then he thought about it and entrusted the task to Dianna.
Dianna sent the reply in three or two minutes, and even hummed a small song when she came back.
After the second class on Thursday morning.
Dark was called to the corner of the castle again. A female student, who he couldn't remember from which House, held back her shyness and handed him a very delicate handmade invitation.
Feeling helpless, he had to tell the other party that he already had a partner.
And Thursday afternoon.
The news that Dark Demon already had a dance partner spread like wind throughout the first year.
Dianna guarded him like a hen guarding a little chick. When people mentioned the "dancing partner", she couldn't help raising her head high.
So the news that Dark's dance partner was Dianna caught up with the previous news quickly.
After that, the invitations became less visible to the naked eye!
Dark's life finally became quiet again.
...
The invitations of the first-year students gave him the feeling that it was more formalistic.
The feelings among most people were still hazy.
There were strong traces of imitation.
Some people even used this as a form of comparison.
Very immature.
...
It was the last weekend before Halloween in the blink of an eye.
This weekend was the last chance for students who had not yet bought costumes.
White and Robert were busily running around, looking for cheap and personalized costumes.
It seemed that they were really enjoying the atmosphere of Halloween, picking up the monster costumes that had been forgotten in the corner.
And more people, such as Dianna and Rose, were stepping up to make magical spirit cards.
Suddenly, more and more people borrowed laboratories.
It was also at this time that the students suddenly discovered that the material package provided by Professor Cazer was so expensive that the core materials they prepared themselves were not worth mentioning in the face of the value of the material package.
In short, a variety of problems emerged one after another, and even wrong materials were bought by some students.
It was very chaotic in every laboratory.
...
This weekend, Dark was working on Manifestation Potions.
When it comes to Halloween monsters, ghosts are indispensable.
If he wants to identify transparent ghosts or other invisible monsters, he will need a potion of manifestation.
In order to study this thing, Dark spent a full 500 credits of research funds, which in the eyes of the first-year students at this point was extremely incredible.
After all, four weeks of normal class would only give them 480 credits.
Dark's final harvest was three bottles of Manifestation Potion.
One of the bottles failed in the process of making a potion card.
The second bottle was fortunately successful. The potion card produced was in the form of an "Item Card".
But it was no longer a potion, but a [Manifestation Powder] card.
It required the user to find the location of the invisible target first, which was the limitation of [Manifestation Powder].
But Dark is already quite satisfied.
...
On Sunday evening, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the blond boy was sipping unscented black tea as always, and quietly flipping through the books.
Then another invitation for the masquerade party was sent to him.
