Medea sat down next to Dark and squinted at the obviously fabricated news article at the corner of the newspaper.

She solemnly asked, "What do you think of this news?"

Dark nonchalantly replied, "It's a clever plan, but it's also a foolish move."

Medea: "Mhm?"

Dark said: "Theoretical strategy doesn't hold a candle to genuine practice—it's all but the outcome of a moment of rashness. But from the position of the eldest princess, she should check on who wants to pass on this strategy to the eldest prince. After all, although this foolish move is useless, it can disgust people."

The gaze with which Medea looked at him grew even more curious. "I didn't expect you to have such an insight when you're only a first year. I really don't know how those past rumors about you came about."

Dark was a little embarrassed: "I was young and ignorant."

Medea smiled and said no more.

She turned her attention back to her plate, cut the bacon into small pieces, and finely chewed it.

After quite a long while, she finally raised her head again and said, "Easter is coming."

Easter?

Wasn't today ?

Talking about Easter on White Day?

Professor, you're leaping a bit too far—was what Dark thought in his heart, but he didn't utter it out. "This year's Easter seems to fall on the same day as ?"

Professor Medea said: "A fool deceives themself, as well as others. Do you know about the ?"

Dark shook his head and frankly answered, "I don't know."

In his previous life, Easter was a Christian festival commemorating the on the third day after his crucifixion and death.

It was also known as , , or in Catholicism, .

But as for the origin of Easter in this world, he had yet to touch upon it.

Yet Professor Medea merely smiled: "I suggest you check it out yourself, it'll give you an even more profound impression."

Then she picked up her plate and simply left just like that!

……

Dark watched the figure of her back—which made people unable to look straight at it—with astonishment in his eyes.

Originally, even if Professor Medea skipped over White Day and casually talked about Easter, it wouldn't really be a big deal.

After all, old maids like Professor Medea would most likely ignore stuff like romantic festivals on purpose.

However, Professor Medea’s identity as a fortune-teller would always cast a mysterious veil over her words, making people wonder whether there was a purpose behind them.

……

"Easter? What exactly does she know about? And why did she mention it to me?"

With more thoughts in mind, Dark hurriedly finished the food on his plate and quickly left the cafeteria.

Although it was still very early, he still went straight to the classroom for the first lesson.

Today happened to be Wednesday, with two classes in the morning, no class in the afternoon, and Professor Medea’s astronomy class in the evening—which might be the reason why she showed up in the cafeteria.

Although Dark had stuffed the chocolates into his schoolbag and brought them out with him, he ultimately felt that it wasn't very appropriate to hand the return gifts in the classroom, so he planned to wait until the morning class was over and see how it went later.

During the recess between Magic Potion class and Summoning class, the students quietly talked about topics related to Valentine's Day.

As the boy who received the most chocolates on Valentine's Day, Dark naturally received more attention and discussion.

But he sat there completely unmoved, inevitably disappointing the boys and girls who wanted to watch the show.

After the whole morning passed, there was a pair of students who actually became a couple.

However, it was said that the young couple from the Fool House were childhood sweethearts in the first place!

And their homes were right next to each other.

There was no way to envy such a person who won at the starting line.

The students heaved out sighs and groans. They could only secretly hope that they would be able to find their soulmate in the upcoming few years.

Ring-a-ling!

When all kinds of thoughts were swirling, the bell indicating the end of the second class abruptly rang.

Professor Silver glanced at the clock, quickly assigned a homework, and left the classroom.

The students also packed their schoolbags and left one after another.

For them, every Wednesday afternoon was a brief holiday. The astronomy class in the evening was also mainly about cultivating interest.

This period after class was a time when they could take a good rest for a while.

Recalling Professor Medea's words in his mind, Dark was going to the library to look up information related to "Easter".

But after he packed up his books and took his schoolbag out of the drawer, he suddenly noticed that in the front row, Dianna and Rose were both still primly sitting in their seats.

Normally, Dianna would have already been waiting at the side with her schoolbag.

The corners of Dark's mouth silently curled up a little.

Thereupon, without hurrying, he simply picked up his schoolbag and took two steps forward.

Seeing that Dianna could no longer sit still, he retreated by two steps backward.

Then he proceeded to sit back down again and smilingly looked at the front.

People were leaving and going out of the classroom. Soon, there were only a few people left.

Dark gazed past Dianna's shoulder and saw Eudora Envy, who was similarly sitting rather restlessly at the front.

Eudora was raising her ears, nervously listening to the movements behind her.

There was a particularly bright star when she observed the stars last night, which indicated that she might have good fortune today.

Thus, she had been secretly paying attention to Dark since this morning.

It wasn't until now did the sign that something good was going to happen finally appear.

"Is, is it coming?"

Upon suddenly hearing the sound of someone standing up at the very back, she couldn't help becoming more excited.

……

Dark had indeed stood up, but he didn't leave his seat.

Instead, he took out a box of chocolate from his bag, raised his hand, leaned forward over the top of Dianna's head, and slowly lowered the box from above.

Suddenly noticing that something was blocking the light from above, Dianna glanced up and caught sight of the box of chocolate.

Her eyes instantly widened. She rapidly raised both hands and vigorously clapped at the box, trying to clamp it!

Swoosh!

But the box abruptly rose by a distance.

Her capture actually failed!

In an instant, Dianna's eyes blazingly flashed: "Double claps!"

Smack!

This crisp sound was especially loud inside the empty classroom.

Dark was already prepared for it, so how could he let her succeed?

Smack!

Yet another three consecutive failures.

"Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮."

Dianna eventually puffed up her cheeks, feeling unhappy.

Dark quickly put down the box of chocolate and stuffed it into her hand.

Dianna clasped her fingers together and immediately grabbed it tight, smiling crookedly.

"Haha."

Rose turned halfway around, covering her mouth and snickering.

Dark also took out her share and handed it over.

When their eyes met, Rose quickly grabbed the chocolate and turned back with a shy look on her face.

Thereafter, the two little girls quietly made a peace gesture with their hands under the table.

Obviously, their purpose in staying behind in the classroom had been achieved.

After Dark gave them their chocolates, he also took out Eudora's box of chocolate, calmly stepped out of his seat, walked through the aisle, and went to Eudora's table.

Then, he placed the box of chocolate on the table and slowly pushed it over.

When Eudora turned around and looked over, he finally said, "A thank you gift."
