Chapter 376: The Beginning of 2 chapters in 1

The morning light shone into the castle, stretching the shadows of people.

In a happy mood, Dark even felt that the air was much fresher.

Chatting with always made him feel a different kind of joy.

The girl's happiness was incredibly contagious, irrepressibly putting a smile on people's faces.

……

Amidst the lively laughter, the trio had at some point arrived outside the cafeteria.

Perhaps because they came early enough, the crowd of people inside wasn't so huge that it was filled to the brim.

But the joyful atmosphere unique to that of a festival was already overflowing.

As soon as Dark stepped into the cafeteria, he suddenly saw an exciting scene taking place in the aisle.

A senior from with a red rose in his mouth had actually gotten down on one knee to court another senior from in front of everyone!

It was clearly just half a month ago, yet he chose to make his confession on Easter.

Immersed in the desire to perform, the senior from Knight House recited corny poems like the protagonist of an opera.

Thanks to his handsome appearance, even such outdated behavior managed to attract the attention of many people.

The senior sister from Magister House whom he confessed to had also changed from being surprised at the start to now looking very bashful, sporting rosy cheeks.

But just as the senior sister extended her slender and fair palm towards the senior as though about to accept his confession, something unexpected happened!

Instead of grasping the senior sister's hand and planting a solemn kiss on it, the senior from Knight House suddenly stood up, put on a sunny and bright smile, and affectionately said, "Happy ~"

The moment he said that, let alone the Magister House senior sister with slightly red cheeks, even the students who were watching were all stunned on the spot…

Slap!

Suddenly realizing that she had been tricked, the blush on the senior sister's face instantly turned into an angry red. She raised her outstretched right hand and ruthlessly gave the senior a hard slap!

The sound of this slap was extremely crisp.

It was obvious that the senior sister showed no mercy in her fury.

But what was even more surprising was that the man who received this slap could actually still smile...

Yes, he actually left the scene with a smile...

Originally, this was supposed to be a scene that could make someone die of shame, but with April Fools' Day as the context, it had become slightly different.

The onlookers seemed to have just now realized that today was not only Easter, but also April Fool's Day. Their faces took on a weird look as they grew wary of their companions!

After dishing out a slap, the senior sister at the center of the incident returned to her seat.

But when Dark walked past her, he surprisingly saw that she was also smiling!

And smiling very joyously at that.

It was as if she had already long seen through that senior's act and deliberately played along from the start just for the sake of venting out this slap!

……

"As expected of someone from Magister House..."

Dark looked away, pretending not to know anything.

After this small episode, the atmosphere in the cafeteria significantly cooled down for a while.

But with the influx of more students, the gossip topics that resulted from this had instead led to more fervor.

Dark's group of three obediently queued up.

A few minutes later, it was finally their turn.

After Dianna and Rose each picked out an easter egg, Dark followed suit and reached out to pick one as well.

The Easter eggs placed in the tray were all of different patterns and sizes.

Just from the outside, it was impossible to tell what kind of eggs they were.

It was even more impossible to guess what had been done on the inside.

Dianna picked the biggest one.

Rose picked one that had brighter colors.

Whereas Dark picked the one that looked the roundest.

But just as he put the egg into the dish and was about to leave, the halfling chef kindly asked, "Won't the little bat pick one?"

"Huh?"

, who was obediently perched on Dark's shoulders emulating a waistcoat, instantly let out a cry of surprise.

But its surprise immediately turned into joy as it stretched out its wing to eagerly point at the eggs lined up in rows.

"Thank you, Auntie."

After thanking the halfling chef aunt on its behalf, Dark followed DemiDevimon's will and picked an Easter egg that had black as its main color.

Thereupon, the three of them continued to order breakfast. Carrying their plates, they found an empty table against the wall and sat down.

"Let's open it!"

Dianna zestfully picked up her table knife and made a couple of slashes at the Easter egg in front of her.

It was obvious that she couldn't wait any longer.

"Alright, let's do it together."

Dark put DemiDevimon's Easter egg on a dish and handed it out to it before picking up his own Easter egg.

The three of them glanced at one another, and then got into action.

Dianna briskly swung down the table knife in her hand. In a flash of silvery light, the Easter egg that was even larger than a goose egg was cut in half!

As the egg split open, white viscous honey trickled out of it.

A thick sweet scent burst out and spread, putting a gluttonous look on Dianna's face.

"It's really something sweet!"

It was unknown how they did it, but the halfling chefs actually replaced the yolk of this Easter egg with honey.

While Dianna was feeling pleasantly surprised over this, both Rose and Dark opted for the traditional method of cracking the eggshell and peeling it open.

The instant she peeled off the eggshell, Rose was stunned on the spot.

Because the Easter egg in her hand actually exuded a spicy smell.

Even the egg white was dripping red with chili oil!

"Turns out there's really a spicy flavor..." Rose spoke with a grimace, wanting to cry.

Dark had also opened his Easter egg, and it was but a relatively ordinary boiled egg. He just wasn't sure what poultry the egg came from.

A little bit later, DemiDevimon waited until all three of them opened their Easter eggs before finally following suit by grabbing the black egg with its claws and knocking it on the table.

As cracks appeared on the eggshell.

Ding!

A clear sound that was completely unlike a boiled egg suddenly came from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, the mainly black Easter egg suddenly exploded!

"BOOM!"

The sudden sound of explosion made the three people who were sitting at the same table instantly turn their heads to look over.

A ray of white light burst out from the shattered egg and rapidly shot up into the sky.

The assembled magic energy exploded in the air, blooming into multicolored sparks of light just like fireworks, splendid and colorful.

At this moment, it had attracted the gaze of every single person in the cafeteria.

Raising its head, DemiDevimon dazedly stared at the continuously blooming fireworks with a stupefied look on its face.

……

"What a little lucky star."

As they looked at the fireworks that were still blooming, the halfling chefs couldn't help but let out a warm smile.

Maybe DemiDevimon itself didn’t realize it, but its appearance had undoubtedly brought a lot of joy to the chefs who were busy at work.

The halflings really adored this clever little familiar spirit.

……

An entire half minute later, the gorgeous magic energy fireworks show finally concluded.

Dark poked DemiDevimon's face and smilingly asked, "What are you still gawking for? Check out what's in the Easter egg."

"Oh!" DemiDevimon swiftly came back to its senses and immediately opened the egg in front of it with a grin.

There was an empty firework ball as well as a coupon rolled into the thickness of a little finger lying quietly inside the egg.

"What's this?"

"It's a lottery coupon!"

Dark and Dianna exclaimed at the same time.

It was obvious that Dianna understood the system of the cafeteria Easter eggs better than Dark.

She looked at the lottery coupon and said with envy, "Quick, let your familiar spirit open it and take a look. I heard the first prize is a !"

"Just how badly do you want to eat a phoenix egg?" Dark couldn't help rolling his eyes.

DemiDevimon, however, had already unrolled the lottery coupon with its claws. Then, it stared at the coupon for a long time with a face full of confusion.

Dark curiously went over to take a look and immediately exclaimed in surprise,"It's actually a credit point voucher!"

Rose asked: "How many points?"

Dark: "Quite a lot, a whole two hundred points."

Dianna used her fingers to calculate: "Two hundred points. Each class gives a minimum of ten points. Fourteen classes per week only gives a total one hundred and forty points—two hundred is really a lot! But..."

Rose similarly blinked and added on, "But what's the use of points for a familiar spirit? What's more, it doesn't have a ."

Dark smiled and said, "Familiar spirits also have the things that they want, so it's a good thing to have their own points. As for not having a sorting card... it'll be fine to keep it with me. Isn't that right, DemiDevimon?"

DemiDevimon immediately picked up the lottery coupon and obediently handed it to its master.

Of course, beneath its unshaken appearance, it was hiding an unstoppable surge of ecstasy!

After being the first to obtain a little red flower, it once again became the first magical spirit to obtain credit points!

Although it could use the little red flowers to exchange with the master for the things it wanted, how could it be more gratifying than being able to buy whatever it wanted?

When the time came, wouldn’t it be great to take the opportunity to go shopping together with the master?

But while it was immersed in this beautiful fantasy, it suddenly heard Dark mumbling:

"After Easter is over, let's try to ask to make a simple version of the sorting card..."

Unable to contain itself, DemiDevimon's expression abruptly changed.

Sorting card = wallet.

Was it better to have the wallet, or the right to shop together?

This question was so difficult.

……

Up until Dark took the lottery coupon and redeemed the two hundred points from the halfling chef aunt, DemiDevimon was still pondering over this difficult question.

During this period, plenty of students had also obtained various gadgets from the Easter eggs.

There were point vouchers of different amounts, semi-finished magic cards, and some small magic items.

Of course, there wasn't any phoenix egg.

……

Amidst the screams of some poor soul who ate a mustard-filled boiled egg, Dark's group of three left the cafeteria with brisk steps.

There was still more than an hour before the start of the Easter Duel Festival at 8:30, so the three of them planned to first go to to explore around.

Actually, Dark wanted to check out the Easter egg figurines… But Dianna and Rose had other things in mind.

Upon arriving at the mid-lake pavilion, the three of them chose a stone table and sat in a circle around it, waiting for the teleportation hub to shift over.

Dark looked at Rose and asked curiously, "Are you not going to participate in the preliminary battle royale? Even if you're not thinking of qualifying, it'd be nice to experience it. Moreover... I think you have a pretty good chance."

"What chance do I have?" With him looking at her like so, Rose couldn't help but blush. "I only have two main forces, one for defense and one for healing, it's impossible to get ten points. Besides, I have less than forty magic cards."

After saying that, she added, "I'll just cheer for you guys from the audience!"

"Don't," Dianna hurriedly waved her hands and muttered, "I'm just going to see what it's all about. After the preliminary round, I'll cheer for Dark together with you. Make sure to save a seat for me!"

Rose chuckled and said, "Of course I will."

Dark helplessly shook his head.

Even Dianna was only participating with the mentality of experiencing it. He reckoned it would be the same for most of the first-years.

This time, it seemed that he would have to fight alone.

……

When the teleportation hub shifted over, the three of them twisted their bodies and arrived at the mid-like pavilion on the other side.

Perhaps a lot of people had a similar thought to theirs. It was clearly only a little over seven o’clock, yet there was already a busy flow of crowd in Traveller Street.

Not far from the entrance, there was a makeshift stall surrounded by people. It was obviously a retail center for the Easter eggs.

"Let's go and have a look!"

His interest piqued, Dark took the lead and squeezed into the crowd.

The merchant selling the Easter eggs was an uncle who looked rather familiar, but he momentarily couldn't remember which store he was from.

Sporting a white towel wrapped around his head, the approximately forty-year-old man exhibited a shrewd expression on his square-shaped face as he fervently marketed the Easter egg figurines to the students.

But knowing very well how valuable points were, the students were very prudent and remained unmoved regardless of how this uncle tried to tempt them.

All of a sudden, a student couldn't help but ask, "Boss, can we really get a figurine of the from the Easter eggs?"

The merchant immediately replied, "Yes, with just 10 points, you can get the Heavenly White Dragon!"

The student frowned and muttered, "10 points, huh? That's just the minimum credit for a class. If I can really get the Heavenly White Dragon, it'll be like hitting the jackpot! Boss, I'll choose one."

"Okay!" The boss immediately lifted the white cloth covering the stall, revealing the Easter eggs that came in different sizes and colors.

The student gritted his teeth and looked at it for a long time before eventually picking an Easter egg that was as big as an ostrich egg.

"I'll take this!"

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you!"

"No need, I'm going to open it now."

With a slight turn of his head, the student picked up a small hammer from the stall and knocked hard on the Easter egg!

Crack!

The Easter egg worth ten points shattered along with the sound.

The special characteristic of the Easter egg made its upper part easy to crack.

As the fragments of the eggshell fell, the figurine inside finally came into view.

It turned out to be a lifelike !

"It's the (鸿运锦鲤)!"

The exquisite figurine was as beautiful as a red jade. The moment it came into contact with the air was akin to a fish leaping out of water, sparkling brightly under the light of the sun.

"Congratulations!"

While the student was engrossed in the unexpected surprise, the Easter egg merchant silently pulled the contraption on the stall.

Immediately, ribbons and confetti sprayed out and showered the student's head.

But still with a look of ecstasy on his face, the student very carefully held up the carp figurine and asked, "This can't be the Koi of Fortune of Senior Roger who has already graduated, right? He's my idol!"

The merchant rubbed his hands together and said, "Congratulations to the customer, this is a very rare figurine. I didn't expect you'd win it in just one shot."

The student: "How lucky!"

Saying so, he left with a face full of excitement while carrying the koi.

Watching him hit bullseye in one shot, the other students finally became eager to give it a try, forming a line of people who couldn't hold back from buying the Easter eggs.

Dark took the chance to grab a figurine guidebook from the stall and began to read it.
