Chapter 1009: Dark Demon, Precious Daily Life (4k)
The moment Dark stepped into the common room, he encountered the second-year students from the Noble Academy entering through the door outside the tower.
Tudor Dolon was in front, his cheeks slightly flushed and his excitement palpable as he occasionally turned back to chat with someone behind him.
Dark could easily guess that whatever Tudor was talking about was certainly related to Saint Son Evan Pearson again.
But at this moment, he had no interest in the Saint Son or Saint Maiden, only wanting to quickly head to the Magical Animal Club.
However, Tudor and company were blocking the way, making it not easy to pass through this checkpoint.
As expected, as soon as they saw him, they shouted and charged over, drawing the attention of other students in the common room.
Since April 13th, the first day of the week, Dark Demon had been missing from the academy for nearly six days.
Other grades didn’t have any particular feelings about this, but the second-year and first-year students had almost daily speculated on where he had gone.
Dark had inquired about his whereabouts and those of a few professors, and officially, it was said they were on an inspection trip somewhere.
He and Aurora went together as assistants to the professors. Although this reason was quite generic, people who knew him well could easily see through it as a mere cover-up.
The second-year and first-year students thus came up with many peculiar theories.
And as time passed, they began speculating when he would return, with some even saying he might never come back.
By yesterday, Dark Demon still hadn’t appeared in the Golden Cup tournament.
Senior Sister Judy directly announced his withdrawal during the opening ceremony of the Golden Cup, which drew much attention.
This special situation worried Tudor and others. The matched opponent for Dark received a “bye” and directly advanced to the next round, which seemed very advantageous.
Dark did not pay attention to the Golden Cup.
From the moment he decided to participate in the rescue mission for Principal Altair, he had completely abandoned the Golden Cup in his heart.
But throughout the entire Golden Cup process, he did not feel particularly regretful.
What he missed, he was already prepared to make up for in the Academy Cup!
“Dark, you’re finally back!”
The enthusiasm of his classmates made him want to retreat.
They immediately surrounded Dark, pushing out Rose and Diana.
The second-year students asked him where he had been and what he had done, and also complained why he hadn’t returned yesterday.
They clearly wanted to see “Dark Demon from the Noble Academy’s second year” participating in the Golden Cup, ideally winning all the way to the championship.
Once the championship was won, all deficiencies would no longer be considered deficiencies.
But Dark Demon withdrew from the competition in a way no one had anticipated.
This was truly very regrettable.
However, the competition would not stop because of anyone’s absence.
The schedule for the Golden Cup was already very tight.
Last Friday, in the quarterfinals of the Golden Cup, four winners and two losers remained. Only two of the defeated contestants dropped out of the competition.
This Friday, in the semifinals of the Golden Cup, four winners fought each other. The winners advanced to the final of the winners’ bracket, while the losers then fought against the remaining two losers from the losers’ bracket. The last two members of the losers’ bracket would gain entry to the losers’ bracket final.
Both the winners’ and losers’ bracket finals would take place the following Friday.
At that point, the loser from the winners’ bracket final would face off against the winner from the losers’ bracket final, and the victor of that duel would advance to the championship round.
The championship round would also be held on the following Friday night, after which the Golden Cup would conclude.
The students of Saint Maryann Academy would welcome their final month before the end of the school year!
Year-end assessments and the Academy Cup would both be conducted during this month.
While the second-year students felt regret for Dark missing the Golden Cup, they were also happy that he could catch up with the Academy Cup.
After all, the Academy Cup was directly relevant to them. And with Dark Demon’s participation, the chances of the Noble Academy winning would greatly increase.
If they won, all the students of the Noble Academy would get a chance to wish upon the Holy Grail.
In short, what was within reach couldn’t fly away!
After welcoming him, the students immediately started asking if he was hurt or encountered any danger.
To escape quickly, Dark responded evasively. But before he finished, the first-year students from the Noble Academy, somehow getting the news, rushed over as well.
Dark’s expression hardened, and he immediately told the first-year students that classes would resume normally starting Tuesday.
The first-year students immediately dispersed, and the second-year students quieted down as well.
Dark immediately said, “We’ll discuss the Golden Cup later; I have something else to do first.”
Without waiting for Tudor and company to respond, he took a group of golem companions and left swiftly.
Having barely escaped the tower of the Noble Academy, Dark suddenly heard a sound like ‘whoosh’ coming from his mana card deck.
His heart stirred, and he picked out the last card from his Mana Card, Mana Card, and Door Card. Sure enough, there was a new message.
Counting carefully, there were exactly six messages.
Starting from the day he left the academy, he received one message every day, without fail.
“Who is it?” Diana leaned over.
Staring at him, she made it inconvenient for him to open the letter, so he temporarily put it away and said, “Some accumulated letters. The cards issued by the academy can only communicate with each other inside the academy, so these messages accumulated during this period.”
With that, he continued walking towards the Spiral Bell Tower.
Not long after, the group and the golem companions safely arrived at the clubroom of the Magical Animal Club on the tenth floor of the tower.
Upon catching the scent of Dark and Agumon’s presence, the Little Night Bird and Fox Heart Fire burst out of the room.
Shirley Augustine, who was in charge of taking care of them, hurriedly followed out and stopped abruptly in front of Dark.
At this moment, the little night bird had already pounced on Dark, rubbing his cheek forcefully.
“Alright, alright, stop it.”
Dark said with a helpless tone.
This scene made Diana feel like seeing herself, her cheeks instantly turning red.
