After going back to the dormitory, Dark put DemiDevimon on the bed, covered it with a quilt, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The hot water flowed down, gradually sobering Dark.
Looking back on what happened today, in addition to the [Lust] that increased a little inadvertently, the research on [Fusion] Magic Charm also had some progress.
In the next two days, he needed to hurry up to continue his research and perfect the last bit of [Fusion] Magic Charm.
If he could complete the writing by noon on Friday, he would be able to invite Pandora-senpai out again to carry out the first [Fusion] card-making experiment!
After that, he would decide on a Christmas present for Pandora-senpai.
"Drip."
The sound of water droplets ceased.
Dark walked out of the bathroom, soothed the three cat grasses, and then got into the bed. He lay down and read some books.
After the hair was naturally dried, he fell asleep gradually.
...
Thursday, the next day.
Dark came to the common room as usual.
When the winter came, the magic flame in the fireplace would always keep burning. So the common room was always warm, and there would be even more students who liked to stay there.
Dark would sometimes arrive a bit late and find that two or three people were already reading books and newspapers inside.
But in the early morning, everyone was still a little bit sleepy and was not in the mood to chat with each other.
Today's "Daily Sage" still focused on Christmas-related topics.
But the Saint Marian Academy was rarely mentioned.
Perhaps because of the incident that happened during Halloween, the academy wanted to avoid attracting more attention.
Contrary to that, the Holy Mystery Academy almost occupied most of the pages of the newspaper during this time.
Christmas was the day to celebrate the birth of the "saint".
The so-called "saint" was both "God" and "human".
In the canon of the holy church, the "saint" was the first human.
He was the origin of "human beings" and the root of "mankind".
One of the fundamental theories in the holy church's secret scriptures was the "Theory of God and Man".
According to it, human beings were the descendants of God, and every human had divine blood flowing in their body.
Based on this theory, the theory of "human supremacy" was established.
It meant that apart from gods, the most noble race in the world was human beings!
Therefore the holy church was a staunch supporter of the idea of pureblood humans.
It opposed all other races and mixed races, and its discrimination against subhumans was deeply rooted, believing that subhumans were an inferior species that only deserved to crawl under human feet.
When humans and subhumans signed the "Hundred Races Alliance Treaty" during the war to jointly resist the powerful demons, the holy church was the biggest opposition party.
But as the war situation worsened, the holy church was forced to "endure the humiliation" and signed the alliance treaty, which they felt was extremely humiliating to them.
So when the war was over, there was an open voice of "tearing up the treaty" in the holy church.
Due to this precedent, the holy church was able to reach a consensus with the hawks headed by the first prince Charles.
By comparison.
Saint Marian Academy's attitude towards the subhuman was very friendly, which could be said to be completely opposed to the concept of the holy church.
Many professors in the academy were even subhuman or mixed race.
The contradiction between the two sides was almost irreconcilable.
...
In this year's Christmas, the holy church would work with the Holy Mystery Academy to hold a huge mass in the church. At that time, the first prince would lead a group of nobles to participate in the event to publicize their common position.
...
In the afternoon.
In the last ten minutes of the History of Magic, Claire told the students that she was still uncertain about her future plans.
"If I can't make up my mind, then today will probably be the last time we meet."
Her tone was very flat, as if she had no special attachment to the academy and the students.
But the students were obviously more nervous, and most of them still felt that she would continue teaching until she took over as the head of Fool House. After all, she was such a fit.
"Professor, did we make you angry?"
A Magister House student raised her hand.
Claire was a little surprised by her question, and couldn't help chuckling: "No, you are all excellent, except for a few students."
The students who had once been turned into piglets immediately lowered their heads.
Claire said softly: "It's just that everyone has their own plans, some people like to stay in one place for a long time, and some people don't like to stay in one place for a long time. Saint Marian is just one of the stops in my journey, and I haven't decided that I'll stay at this stop for long."
A Fool House student immediately raised his hand: "Professor, will you attend the Christmas party this year?"
Claire shook her head slightly: "I'm sorry I can't spend a warm Christmas with you here. I still have someone who needs my company. She is probably crying because she can only spend Christmas alone this year."
Dark covered his forehead.
Sara Swati from Magister House raised her hand and said, "Professor, I really like you. I hope you can stay!"
Claire smiled slightly. "I like you too."
Sara sat down with a blushing face.
Emma from Knight House immediately raised her hand: "Professor Kate, if you don't come back next semester, who will replace you?"
Claire thought for a while. "I didn't ask Arte, but she won't let you down."
...
Among the many questions and answers, ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Claire waved to the students when the bell rang, lifting the piggy transformation spell.
Following her secret signal, Dark quickly picked up his school bag and went out.
The classroom was in a commotion over the unexpected news.
Walking in the wide corridor, Claire said, "I'm leaving at noon tomorrow. How is your gift preparation?"
Dark nodded. "It's ready."
Claire: "Send it to my dorm tonight. Don't worry, I won't look."
Dark's face darkened. If she didn't mention it, he almost forgot that she would definitely take a peek.
Do I need to translate it with Morse code when I go back?
He asked, "Aunt Claire, are you really not going to consider it again?"
Claire: "I'll think about it."
Dark pursed his lips, knowing that it was very unlikely that she would stay.
Such prevarication showed that there was no such deep determination to stay in her heart.
Even if she decided to stay at Alvette's suggestion, it wouldn't be her own decision.
Dark didn't want Claire to make choices against her will in order to take care of him.
It seemed that something needed to be added to that "home letter".
Thinking of this, he also couldn't help wondering who would be the professor of the history of magic next semester.
He thought about it for a while and asked, "Will you continue to travel?"
Claire glanced at him, the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "I'm going to take a break for two or three years. If I don't come back to the academy to teach next semester, I'll stay at your house."
Dark breathed a sigh of relief.
