That might become the core objective in April!
He felt slightly excited at the thought of the experiment he was about to conduct.
The unknown and the mysterious are always something to look forward to, especially the moment when they are revealed!
……
On the last night before April arrived, many people were filled with various thoughts and eagerly anticipating the future.
The cold of winter gradually fades as the months pass, and the warmth of the Spring Festival returns to the earth.
The students, who had acquired a lot of materials from their dungeon adventures, were also in dire need of an opportunity to showcase themselves.
Dark, Doron, and Diana from the House of Nobles, and Emma from the House of Knights—read the full text for free here.
Justin, Witt, Sara from the Magic Academy, and especially these seven duelists—the only ones among the first-year students—were all waiting for the Easter Duel Festival to arrive.
True warriors dare to challenge the peak.
During the rookie competition, Darko Dimon's enthusiastic performance secretly ignited the competitive spirit of the entire freshman class and gave the sophomores a greater sense of urgency.
Elsie Kevin, the second-year student who lost to Dark, in particular, worked hard and made significant progress.
He probably always hoped to get his revenge in the dueling arena.
This year's Easter Duel Festival is clearly an opportunity for him.
In addition, there are students like Leon from the second-year Fool's House, Mary from the second-year Noble House, Winnie Skadi from the third-year Magic Academy, Helena Tracy from the third-year Knight Academy, Angela Hudson from the third-year Fool's House, and Mike Owen from the third-year Noble House...
Some of the upperclassmen, whether they knew their names or not, were also eyeing this Easter Duel Festival.
Even those who weren't aiming to win were mostly interested in the new format of the preliminary rounds.
Some forward-thinking individuals have already recognized the appeal and sustainability of this model.
Some even participated with the intention of being among the first to experience it.
They believe that if this model performs well at the Easter Duel Festival, it is likely to be imitated and adopted by other events, and even further developed.
Outside the academy, professionals with similar purposes also bought tickets to observe the effects of this competition format.
New models like this, which haven't been tested yet, usually don't attract much attention.
But who made St. Marian College the one to develop this new model?
As a sacred site where every move attracts countless eyes, St. Marian is synonymous with "authority".
Even if the model itself is not beneficial, there will still be countless people blindly following the trend.
If you don't have a keen sense of the industry and don't keep up with the changing times, then being eliminated by the times is entirely your own problem.
……
It was past midnight.
While most students and professors were already asleep, "Lia," who lived in Professor Mitia's dormitory, was still gazing at the moon.
Having shed her orange-red hair disguise and dispelled the magic that distorted her face, "Lia," who seemed to have just finished bathing, stood on the balcony looking at the bright moon outside the railing.
Her long hair was draped over her shoulders and was as red as blood.
His pale, bloodless skin appeared even more ashen against the dark backdrop.
Her pupils were deep, her nose was high and straight, her lips were full but small, and her features were delicate and three-dimensional.
If you only look at this face, it doesn't have the gentle temperament that a soft face should bring; instead, it gives people a sharp feeling.
But once you get to know her, you'll be captivated by the gentle and graceful demeanor she exudes.
"Hey."
Mitis Bartholomew, leaning against the balcony door, sighed slightly.
Just looking at "Lia's" back like this makes her unable to help but recall the first time they met.
At that time, she was also captivated by "Lia's" gentle temperament. So much so that she overlooked her identity and mistook her for a defenseless, untamed woman.
A delicate girl with only strength.
It wasn't until she was rescued from danger that Mitia realized just how strong the will hidden beneath that gentle exterior truly was.
But this time, something seemed different.
……
It's already Easter.
"Lia" suddenly turned around and gave Middleia a bright smile.
Mitia shrugged: "Good luck."
"Lia" said, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. If it succeeds tomorrow, I'll probably be leaving."
Mitia waved her hand dismissively: "Go away, go away, I can't wait for you to leave."
"Lia" smiled, then a hint of sadness appeared on her face: "I thought you would try to keep me here."
Mitia sneered: "I'll only sleep more comfortably without you. You take up half my bed every day."
"Lia" said softly, "Don't be lonely."
Mitia remained unmoved: "We've made it through all these years."
"Lia" laughed and said, "Then, tonight is the last night."
Mitia: "I hope so."
"Lia" glanced back at the night sky without much concern before walking back inside.
"In the long river of fate, we are all boats without sails. Unable to build oars, we can only drift with the current."
"Then let's build oars."
……
The tranquil night was exceptionally deep, with the stars twinkling faintly beneath the darkness.
The ancient castle lies prostrate on the axis of time and space, as if it were breathing.
As night fell, the first rays of white light appeared on the horizon.
Easter, for the daytime, has finally arrived.
……
"Tick."
Before the alarm clock rang, Dak had

I wake up because of my biological clock.
He dozed off in bed for a while longer, enjoying the pleasure of having two women on either side. Just as the alarm clock was about to ring, he suddenly reached out and turned it off.
Then he tried not to disturb the bedding and carefully got up.
The little dream demon, who had appeared out of nowhere, was fast asleep on his chest. The red beaded string hanging around its neck emitted a faint red light, continuously replenishing the dream demon's magic power.
It has clearly mastered the technique of converting the magic within the "Fear Gem" into its own power, and has absorbed a large amount of magic from somewhere.
Dak reached out and touched its head, feeling a bit of a headache.
The fact that there are no rumors of ghosts circulating about the Tower of the Nobles suggests that the Dream Demon is relatively well-behaved and has not used "fright" to gain energy from fear indiscriminately.
However, the immense magical power within the "Fear Gem" indicates that it is absorbing magical energy—which means it attacked people in the dream!
Dreams are a very mysterious phenomenon.
Even the most terrifying nightmares can often be completely released with a scream upon waking up, venting the fear caused by the nightmare.
Fortunately, the tower dormitory has excellent sound insulation.
……
Without causing any significant impact, Dak, who was preoccupied with many other matters, simply didn't have the energy to investigate further.
He pinched the dream demon's cheek like he was squeezing a balloon. After getting out of bed, he tucked it into the space he made under the covers.
"The weather has cleared up as expected."
The black velvet curtains were drawn back, revealing a clear sky dotted with a few white clouds.
Dak yawned slightly and stretched out his hand.
The little devil, who had gotten up even earlier than him, lightly leaped and landed on his forearm, flapping its wings.
Dak patted the back of its head and said with a smile, "Want to come with me to the cafeteria?"
The little devil's eyes darted around, and it immediately knew there wouldn't be any red flowers this morning.
But to exchange a little red flower for the happiness of having breakfast with the owner and the jealousy of other cats that steal fish is definitely a worthwhile trade.
So it immediately squinted its eyes and said obsequiously, "Your master is as handsome as ever today—"
Dark's hair stood on end, and he was terrified.
Goosebumps fell all over the floor.
……
Easter begins with waking up.
Although the college has not previously established holidays or activities for Easter, students can usually visit Traveller's Street, which is decorated with many colorful eggs, to experience the festive atmosphere because Easter is a fixed Sunday holiday.
Moreover, the halfling chefs in the cafeteria will specially prepare Easter eggs for the students—and these eggs are, of course, real eggs.
Halfling chefs would paint the eggs of various birds with edible pigments and then boil them.
On Easter morning, students can receive their first Easter egg of the day in the cafeteria.
The halfling chefs will also hide surprises in the Easter eggs, which is another kind of fun.
It was after hearing about this that Dak decided to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
The students woke up unusually early today.
When Dark finished dressing, put on his card bag, pinned the Duel Club badge to his chest, and arrived at the common room, he found that the common room, which usually only had a few people at this time, was already quite full.
Most people wait here for their classmates and friends they've arranged to meet before heading to the cafeteria together.
After thinking for a moment, Dak found a seat and sat down.
The little devilmon jumped off his shoulder onto the table and paced back and forth.
A short while later, a sleepy-eyed Rose came downstairs, pulled by Diana.
"Wait a minute, the Easter egg won't grow wings and fly away..."
"They just want to eat it as soon as possible!"
The two of them walked slowly to the middle of the common room. Diana suddenly noticed Darke standing up, and her eyes lit up. She was about to wave to him.
Dak shook her head slightly and immediately shut her mouth.
Then the three of them naturally came together.
"Let's go get some Easter eggs."
"I wonder if they have a milk candy flavor?"
"I don't know, but I've heard there's an extra spicy flavor."
"There's even a chance to get a phoenix egg!"
"puff."
