Chapter 120 Dark Demon Doesn't Want to Be on the Stage
***Edited by Kronost***
It was half past two.
But some students walked out of the four towers one after another.
They had been attaching great importance to the first academy-wide assembly since the beginning of school.
Especially since there were too many unresolved things that happened last night.
They desperately needed the principal to clarify.
When Dark opened the door and walked out, Dianna and Rose were already waiting at the door.
He smiled slightly, and went to the castle with the two of them.
As soon as he got out of the tower, Dianna asked, "Dark, do you know what the principal is going to say?"
Dark shook his head: "I don't know."
He really didn't know, but he had some guesses.
Judging from the principal's action last night, probably this incident would not be attributed to Professor Didi.
After all, there were too many students involved in this matter.
If this matter was attributed to a professor of the academy, and someone exposed it to the outside world, then the position of Saint Marian Academy would become very awkward.
In this relatively sensitive political period, Saint Marian Academy must protect their reputation; they cannot allow their image to be ruined by such trivial matters.
Therefore, Professor Didi could resign, but could not be blamed.
In the final analysis of this matter, it could be attributed to the first student who discovered the secret passage.
It could also be attributed to the remnant divinity of the Moon Goddess.
It just couldn't be attributed to Professor Didi.
From the standpoint of an academy, it should protect its students; Principal Arte would not let that student carry the responsibilities.
Then it could only be attributed to the remnant divinity of the Moon Goddess.
And due to religious reasons, the principal may also give the Moon Goddess another name.
For example, "God of Evil Moon", "Calamity Beast of Moon" and so on.
In this way, Saint Marian Academy would be a pure victim and would avoid criticism to the greatest extent.
As for the names of the students who were captured and brainwashed, of course they could not be revealed.
They were actually victims.
Exposing the names would cause problems for them.
...
Roughly speaking, this was only a guess made by Dark based on his existing intelligence.
But here comes the problem then:
If the academy really decided to do that, he, as one of the insiders, should have received the principal's notice long ago.
...
So when he stepped into the hall, Dark was also at a loss.
Like other students, he was looking forward to Principal Arte's answer.
Saint Marian students were always grouped by houses.
Dark sat down in the area marked "Crown" and talked quietly with Dianna and the others.
The whole hall gradually turned noisy as the number of the students present increased.
It wasn't until 2:55 that almost all the professor and students had gathered in the hall, and Professor Silver stepped onto the stage and clapped her hands to the audience.
With just this action, the audience fell silent—without needing Professor Silver to use the silence spell.
Professor Silver nodded in satisfaction, and then invited Principal Arte to come up.
Surrounded by nine magical spirits, Principal Arte looked as beautiful and noble as ever.
After taking the stage, she said a few words as opening remarks, and then went straight to the topic: "I want to announce one thing today: Professor Didi Maxwell has resigned just last night."
No flowery words. It was just such a normal sentence.
There was a huge commotion amongst the students.
Although Professor Didi's lectures were very boring, and she would deduct people’s points very often, as the Head of Fool House, she was very kind outside the classroom. No one had ever seen her angry.
Moreover, she was also a professor of astronomy.
And unlike her boring history of magic, her astronomy was very interesting.
The first-year students had only attended one astronomy class, so they didn't have much feeling about it. But the senior students all liked astronomy very much; they even formed a club for this class.
The senior students: they seemed to have become accustomed to the existence of such an elderly professor.
After all, Professor Didi had accompanied them through their entire student life.
It was such a professor who left them without any warning.
So it was impossible for them not to be sad.
...
But then, Principal Arte showed the students a completely different Professor Didi.
Even though Dark had heard some of it from Professor Lily, he was quite surprised.
What came slowly from Principal Arte was Didi Maxwell from her perspective.
Wayward, arrogant, unreasonable, and stubborn—not many students understood the meanings of these words, but they were an indispensable part of Professor Didi's character.
Principal Arte had known Professor Didi for a long time.
Without any concealment, she described the Professor Didi she knew.
From a fledgling little fairy, to becoming a member of a four-person adventure team, to being trapped in an ancient temple, suffering the curse of ageing.
Except for the things related to Professor Cazer that she didn't go into details, she told the students everything she knew.
She replaced Professor Didi and spoke on behalf of her, repeating what was written in the resignation letter, telling the details of Professor Didi's inner suffering over the past ten years and recent events.
...
It was completely different from what Dark had imagined.
Principal Arte didn't make any changes at all, except for concealing the names of the students, she said it all.
The students listened very seriously, even more seriously than they did in class.
Principal Arte also did not have any partiality, and gave the right to judge Professor Didi's behaviour to the students themselves.
It could be good or bad.
It could be right or wrong.
Students could stand on a subjective standpoint to defend Professor Didi,
They could also criticise her from an objective standpoint.
They could freely express their opinions.
...
In the end.
Principal Arte first invited one of the participants in the incident, White Gawd, to provide evidence for the victim.
White was obviously unprepared, and he looked dazed when he was called on the stage.
For him, this was undoubtedly a public sentence.
He didn't know why Principal Arte did this.
But with the encouragement of Principal Arte's gaze, he still told everyone how he was brought to the temple as a sacrifice after being attacked last night in detail.
The words of the son of the hero were quite believable.
No one really blamed a first year student for not doing anything in this incident. They were just slightly disappointed.
But next.
Principal Arte invited another participant in this incident, Dark Demon.
Dark also didn't expect that he would be invited to the stage.
But under the gentle gaze of Principal Arte, he had no choice but to cooperate, telling people how he found the magic card that White had dropped, and how he followed the traces and entered the secret passage, as well as what he did later.
Of course, the details were skipped directly.
The fight with the goddess ended with Professor Didi ending the goddess and refining "Tears of the Goddess".
Both were the sons of the Kingdom’s Double Swords.
But the performance of the son of Valkyrie was in sharp contrast with the performance of the son of Hero.
