Chapter 163

Claire was a little surprised by her question and couldn't help but said with a smile: "No, you are all excellent, except for some students."

Several students who had been turned into pigs immediately lowered their heads.

Claire said softly: "It's just that everyone has their own schedule. Some people like to stay in one place for a long time, while some people are not born to stay in one place for a long time.

St. Marianne is just one of the stops on my itinerary. I haven't decided whether to stay at this stop for a long time."

A student from the Fool Academy immediately raised his hand: "Then professor, will you attend this year's Christmas?"

Claire shook her head slightly: "I'm sorry that I can't spend a warm Christmas with you here. I have someone who needs company. She is crying because she can only spend Christmas alone this year."

Dak covered his forehead.

Sarah Swati from the School of Magic raised her hand and said: "Professor, I like you very much. I hope you can stay!"

Claire smiled slightly: "I like you too."

Sarah immediately sat down with a blush on her face.

Emma from the Knight Academy immediately raised her hand: "Professor Kate, if you don't come next semester, who will replace you?"

Claire thought for a moment: "I didn't ask Arte, but I don't think she will let you down."

...

Ten minutes passed in a flash during the many questions and answers.

Claire waved to the students when the bell rang, leaving no pigs behind.

Duck quickly picked up his schoolbag and followed her out at her secret signal.

The classroom was in an uproar because of this unexpected news.

Walking in the wide corridor, Claire said: "I'm leaving at noon tomorrow. How is your gift prepared?"

Duck nodded: "Ready."

Claire: "Then send it to my dormitory tonight. Don't worry, I won't peek."

Duck's face darkened. If you hadn't mentioned it, I really didn't expect you to peek. Do you have to translate it in Morse code when you go back?

He asked, "Aunt Claire, are you really not going to reconsider it?"

Claire: "I'm going to go back and think about it."

Duck curled his lips, knowing that this matter was probably over.

Such indecision shows that he is not so determined to stay deep in his heart.

Even if he stayed at Yvette's suggestion, it was not a decision made entirely by himself.

Duck did not want Claire to make a choice against her own will in order to take care of him.

It seems that he really needs to add something to that "family letter".

I just don't know who will be the professor of history of magic next semester?

He pondered for a while and asked, "Will you continue to travel?"

Claire glanced at him, her lips curled slightly: "I plan to take a break for two or three years. If I don't go back to the academy to teach next semester, I will stay at your house."

Duck breathed a sigh of relief.

Claire continued, "By the way, I have stored your Christmas gift with Arte."

Chapter 189 Claire's spiritual sustenance

The two separated at the fork in the road.

Dark returned to the dormitory and went to Claire's office with the gift without waiting until the evening.

Claire was indeed worried about how to pack up in the office.

Her office was not messy, but there were too many books.

Many of them were borrowed from the library, and these books needed to be returned one by one.

Some were bought from Traveler Street, and if they wanted to be taken out of the academy, they needed to go through the review process.

However, given Claire's status, she must have obtained permission from Principal Alt.

"Let me help."

Dark put the gift aside for the time being and began to sort them out with his sleeves.

Claire, who looked like an adult not long ago, couldn't help but blush, sighing at the passage of time in her heart, but she didn't reject it.

Half an hour later.

Dark sorted out the books marked by the library, summoned Tailmon, asked it to carry the books, and walked to the library.

Claire took the rest of the things and left the office.

...

Although Dark came to the library less frequently, he was still familiar with every corner here.

He asked Tailmon to move the mountain of books to the counter, and then explained the matter to Senior Pandora, and then registered the books together.

After Pandora registered each book, she would use the administrator's authority to drive the library's magic circuit and return the book to its original place.

As the books grew wings and flew away automatically, the pile of books next to the counter became shorter and shorter.

Both sides had room to speak.

Pandora exclaimed: "Are these all the books Professor Kate borrowed? She borrows one or two books every day, but I didn't expect so many. I really want to know if she has a special way of reading books."

Dake said: "Maybe this is the sage!"

Pandora: "How is your "fusion" spell going?"

Dake: "I played around for a while during class and made some progress, but it's still difficult."

Pandora: "It's normal that it's difficult. The "fusion" spell is difficult to overcome even in our fourth-grade courses. It's very rare for you to have this progress."

Dake shrugged: "Maybe it's because my calculation ability is particularly strong."

I didn't learn advanced mathematics in vain.

Pandora was also curious; "I always feel that your arithmetic level is better than mine. Did you come up with the vertical calculation method and the formula table?"

Dake: "They are all tricks."

...

After sorting out the books, Dak said goodbye to his senior and went straight to Claire's dormitory.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that it was full of animals jumping around.

Dake touched his forehead and always felt that if Aunt Claire was unreliable, even Yalvette would have to stand aside.

She obviously unfolded the "zoo" field card in the dormitory, but there were obviously too many animals released to sort out the luggage. Those animals did everything they could to compete for favor. Two monkeys grabbed the two sleeves of a piece of clothing and played tug-of-war.

Dake originally wanted to help sort out, but he didn't expect that there were already too many monks and too little meat.

"It seems that there is no need for help!"

So he closed the door and wanted to run.

"Don't!"

Claire's cry for help came from inside.

…

After most of the items were sorted out, the two went to the cafeteria to have a relatively sumptuous dinner.

Dak rarely let go of his appetite and gave Claire enough face despite the "Gluttony +1" prompt.

"Eat more, you can grow taller if you eat more."

Claire kept putting food into his bowl, but she didn't eat much herself.

Although it was not particularly obvious.

But Dak still felt that the feeling she gave people was already somewhat different from when she first came to the castle.

She came like duckweed, but when she was about to leave, she had roots.

It was a very hazy feeling.

But in short, it was changing for the better.

Dak was not so worried.

After eating and drinking, they went home.

Claire needed to hurry up to visit professors of various subjects.

Dak also had his own research to do.

The winter night was cold, and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Dak worked on the experimental table until nearly ten o'clock, and finally made some breakthroughs.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and somehow came to the balcony, bent down to pick up the cow grass that had rubbed up, and looked up at the moon.

One or two bats flew past his field of vision, which surprised him a little.

There are bats in the castle, but as the winter goes on, the bats should be less active.

But that is the habit of ordinary bats.

There are some special bats that do not follow this hibernation rule.

Thoughts left as soon as they were touched.

Dak did not pay too much attention. He turned his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the teacher's dormitory.

Having such a relative in the college gives people a very different feeling.

Although the nights of studying the pre-knowledge of "Zoo" with Claire were busy, the compact and fulfilling feeling was easy to form a habit.

After a week of suspension, he felt a little empty.

It seemed that he had lost in the race against time.

He shook his head and held back the increasingly strong sense of loss in his heart.

...

Coincidentally.

Claire was also looking at the castle under the night sky from the balcony of the dormitory.

Her expression was dazed, but her eyes were always focused on a certain area.

If you study the topography of the castle, you will find that it is the area where the secret passages are concentrated.

Only those who have been deep into the secret passages know that there is a space folding phenomenon in the secret passages, and the actual unfolding area is larger than the entire castle.

Claire has also been deep into the secret passages.

However, she did not have the childlike innocence of the brave and the Valkyrie, and did not leave the so-called treasure in the secret passages.

But at that time, their exploration of the secret passages was still superficial.

They only knew that the secret passages were magical, but they did not know that the secret passages could be so magical!

Halloween...

The resurrection ceremony of the moon goddess!

Even though this matter has been published in the newspaper, there are still only a handful of people who can see the details from it.

Claire agreed to Arte's invitation, in addition to wanting to find a place to be quiet, it was because of this.

During these years of traveling abroad, even though the beautiful scenery and cultural customs of various places are indeed impressive, after turning those experiences into pictures and texts, the emptiness in my heart has not been filled, but has become deeper.

This led to several violent outbursts.

It really caused a little trouble.

Claire's mouth curled slightly.
