Chapter 92 Three Princesses Join the Battlefield
***Edited by Kronost***
Saint Marian’s castle had nine floors, not counting the basement that no one knew of. The space that students used for classes only occupied a very small part of it.
Even graduates who have stayed in this castle for six full years rarely could explore the map on the surface.
If there were no such activities as the masquerade party, this number would be even smaller.
This was obviously a good opportunity to explore the map.
...
At the same time as students flooded into the castle, accompanied by Principal Arte, the three princesses of the kingdom also stepped into the castle.
The eldest princess Eliza.
The second princess Anna who was born three seconds earlier than her younger sister Angie, the third princess.
The three princesses started putting on their costumes and concealed their faces.
Principal Arte said, "Do you really not need my company?"
Princess Eliza nodded slightly and said, "This is a rare opportunity for me to relax. I prefer to be alone. If possible, I'd like to ask the principal to take care of my two naughty younger sisters."
Angie, who was trying to put herself in the bear costume, raised her head keenly and said angrily, "Elder Sister, you promised me that you won't tell outsiders about it!"
Princess Eliza stretched out her hand and squeezed her soft face, a trace of doting flashed in her eyes: "Principal Arte is not an outsider."
Angie still puffed her cheeks.
Anna, who was beside her, suddenly stretched out her hand, and also poked cheek , smiling cheerfully: "Oh my naughty little sister!!"
Angie said in a huff: "You are the younger sister!"
Anna held her head high like a white swan: "I am the older sister, so I won't argue with my younger sister."
While playing around, Princess Anna suddenly turned around and asked; "By the way, Aunt Cynthia, is that annoying guy Dark Demon also here?"
Principal Arte smiled softly: "Yes, he just enrolled this year. By this time next year, he will be your senior."
"Seriously?" Princess Anna seemed to be thinking of something and said stiffly, "Then can I not come next year?"
Eliza flicked her forehead: "Naughty, didn't you say that you want to graduate from the same school as me?"
Anna: "I've changed my mind now. Ow!"
"Hahaha, childish kid, only caring about yourself!"
Angie, who also flicked Anna's head, put on the costume and ran away.
Anna immediately ran to catch her.
Eliza looked at Arte quickly: "Principal."
Principal Arte nodded slightly, and then two small spirits carrying sorting cards flew out from her and quickly caught up with Anna and Angie.
Eliza breathed a sigh of relief and put on a delicate mask that only showed her nose and mouth: "Then principal, I'm leaving too."
...
Southwest of the castle, on the second floor.
Dark failed to get rid of Dianna and Rose in the crowd, so he could only walk with them for a while.
The students above the second year had experience, and they all had their plans. They quickly rushed to all corners of the castle.
The first-year students were completely scattered.
"Dark, should we follow them?"
Dianna looked anxious, like a kid who was afraid that someone would steal her candy.
Rose also looked at Dark.
Dark patted his forehead helplessly; it seemed that he really needed to stay with them for a while.
So he patiently said, "Don't worry, the professors must have prepared enough ghosts. At the beginning of the party, even if you don't look for them, they will come to you."
As he said, he pointed to the top of his head.
Dianna raised her head and suddenly saw a ghost with an extremely long neck hanging down from the ceiling!
"Wow~"
"Ah!"
Dianna immediately drew out the magic card, and summoned her [Phantom Magic Beast: Polar Bear].
The polar bear landed in the white light, and then immediately stood up, grabbing at the ghost!
Rose screamed in fright, and subconsciously grabbed Dark's arm.
Dianna made a judgment in an instant, and also grabbed Dark's other arm.
Dark, with both arms caught, looked helplessly at the polar bear's paws passing through the body of the ghost. The ghost in response stretched out his blood-red long tongue and licked the back of the polar bear's neck.
The polar bear shivered suddenly, and then became furious!
"Jie Jie Jie!"
The ghost laughed and teased the polar bear with his tongue over and over again.
The polar bear was like a kitten chasing a butterfly...
The effectiveness of the polar bear's physical attack on the ghost was really low.
Even though it was just a one-star ghost, the polar bear still had difficulty dealing with it. In the end, Rose mustered up the courage and summoned [Phantom Magic Beast: Snow Rabbit], ultimately sending the ghost to heaven with a mouthful of icy fog.
When the ghost disappeared, a candy suddenly fell down.
Dark was finally liberated. He bent down and picked up the candy on the ground, and began peeling the candy wrapper.
The candy itself looked like an extremely ordinary toffee, but the candy wrapper was carved with fine lines.
Dark suddenly realized: "It turns out to be the candy wrapper!"
Dianna noticed the joy on Dark's face, and asked curiously, "Dark, did you find anything?"
Dark originally wanted to throw away the toffee wrapped in the wrapper, but he suddenly saw Dianna looking at him intently, so he took the candy wrapper and passed the toffee over.
Dianna ate the toffee in one bite.
Dark straightened up the candy wrapper and looked at it carefully.
"It's a one-time magic card. It should be injected with magic energy in advance, and it can last until 12 o'clock in the evening."
Dark was very interested in this craft, so he carefully stored the candy wrapper.
"Come, let's continue."
...
After half an hour.
The three reached the end of the second floor.
Dark reached out to wipe off the cream at the corner of Dianna's mouth and put the thirteenth wrapper in his bag.
The ghosts they encountered along the way were mostly one-star and two-star; some would drop toffee, some would drop apple candies, some would drop a small piece of pumpkin pie... but they were all packed in exquisite wrapping paper.
"It's really a wonderful party dessert."
After Dark finished the last bit of pumpkin pie, he said to Dianna and Rose, "Next, let's split up. Un, let me see. We can meet again in the lobby on the first floor in five hours."
Dianna obediently said, "Mhm, see you at the dance!"
Rose also smiled, "Don't worry about us."
In the last half hour, Dark didn't do anything; just basically instructing Dianna and Rose to cooperate in hunting ghosts.
Unknowingly, the two had a ranking in the first-year Noble House (within 12 on the ranking).
It seemed that although they were only dealing with low-level ghosts, they were progressing faster than many people.
As for Dark himself, it has been +0 so far.
...
Although Dark himself didn't care, in a corner of the castle, it seemed that someone was always paying attention to his ranking.
White was ranked third in the first-year Knight House list. Seeing that there was no Dark's name in the first-year Noble House ranking, he couldn't help getting even more excited.
"We can do it, Robert!"
"Yes!"
