Chapter 170
The light from the gate illuminated the bridge, and every student who walked through it could feel an extra sense of ceremony.
The Christmas ball, from here on, had already begun in their hearts.
It would take about five minutes to walk slowly from the tower of the House of Nobles to the auditorium on the first floor.
Dak was very worried that Diana would accidentally fall, so he kept holding her hand.
There were two glowing elks standing outside the main entrance of the auditorium, both of them wearing cute Christmas hats on their heads.
Dak followed the behavior of the senior in front and took off the Christmas hat of an elk. Sure enough, he saw another Christmas hat rotating and descending from above its head, landing steadily on the head of the elk.
This seemingly simple scene contains extremely strong skills.
Dak was impressed in his heart, and put the Christmas hat on Diana's head, and then he took another one off for himself.
The two first-year students wearing Christmas hats pushed the door open.
Suddenly, the setting of the entire auditorium came into view!
The four iconic long tables in the auditorium were still there, covered with red tablecloths embroidered with Christmas trees, elks and sleighs. Silver candlesticks floated above the long tables, but the candles were not lit yet.
On the stage in front of them stood a huge Christmas tree!
Hanging on the Christmas tree were gift boxes of all sizes and countless decorations.
The most eye-catching decorations were a crown, a magic book, a lance and a "Fool" tarot card!
They were the symbols of the four colleges and the spiritual outline of the colleges.
Glowing elves danced around the Christmas tree, making silver bell-like laughter.
The atmosphere of the Christmas ball was overflowing!
Chapter 195 Darkdemon Dances with Dragons (6k) [30]
According to the grade distribution, senior students sat close to the stage, while freshmen could only sit at the end.
There was a distinction between the upper and lower classes, and a hierarchy.
This was not just a microcosm of this era.
After entering the auditorium, Dak found a seat at the end of the long table belonging to the House of Nobles and sat down, waiting for the Christmas dance to begin with a happy mood.
During the Halloween dance, he only joined in the middle, so he didn't feel the eagerness of waiting.
Anyway, it felt good.
Dak picked up the teapot prepared on the table, poured black tea into the teacups, and handed them to Diana and Rose one by one.
Next to the tea set were freshly baked chocolate cookies, which were fragrant when paired with black tea.
At about 6:50.
Suddenly, a large group of people poured in from the main entrance, and the auditorium became lively in an instant!
The piano in the corner of the stage automatically played melodious music, and the professors who stayed in the college also came out from behind the scenes and sat in the teacher's seat one after another.
It can be seen that the professors tonight were also dressed up carefully.
Professor Kazer wore a suit, tie and leather shoes, like a graceful old gentleman.
Professor Sylph was wearing a light green dress, a furry scarf around her slender neck, and a golden phoenix hairpin with wind elements on her high bun.
Professor Lily was yawning in her nightgown, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.
It wasn't until Sister Carian woke her up that she reluctantly used a dress-up card and transformed into a cute and charming fairy.
In addition, there were Ms. Bella in the library and Ms. Grace in the teaching office...
But there was no sign of the principal.
However, the senior students were already accustomed to it. Principal Arte's thinking on some things was really outdated beyond imagination, such as his obsession with "last appearance"!
At the festival celebration, she was always the last to appear, embellishing the celebration like starlight.
...
When he came to his senses, the four long tables were already full of people.
Dak saw that in front of the Knight Dean's table next door, Witt and Robert also put on formal dresses, and a little further to the side, he could see Emma.
Emma didn't dress as grandly as Diana and Rose, but she was obviously dressed up carefully.
But I don't know if the makeup she did just made her look more childish. She was originally younger than her peers, and it was more obvious at this time.
The childish appearance with stubborn eyes gave her a different temperament.
Dak always felt that she should be used as a Barbie doll for makeup practice by a senior.
She herself didn't seem to like this makeup, so she kept frowning.
A little later.
Senior Pandora finally appeared at the door.
At the ball where everyone was wearing a dress, her white gauze dress didn't look abrupt, but the delicate collarbone and the overly prominent plumpness at the neckline caught people's attention.
She had a smile on her face, and pearl earrings were rarely hung on her delicate earlobes. Her manners were also graceful and elegant.
"What a beautiful person, will Diana be so beautiful in the future?"
Diana lowered her head and looked at her chest, feeling stable!
Rose's face slightly changed color.
People's physiques cannot be generalized.
...
Perhaps it's because of the difference in grades.
Diana doesn't seem to regard Pandora as a competitor.
I'm afraid she herself doesn't quite understand why she likes Dark.
Perhaps she just wants to be with him.
Whether it's eating or dancing.
...
Senior Pandora, who came in from the door, glanced in the direction of the noble dean's table and quickly found Dake among them.
She raised her arm, waved to Dake, grinned, and turned to the long table of the Magic Academy.
As her back was gradually blocked by the figure, Dake retracted his sight.
Then he happened to see Witt, who was looking back at him for some reason.
"Witt?"
Robert suddenly pushed Witt's waist.
Witt came back to his senses in an instant and turned his head quickly, but his heart was already in turmoil!
"Just now, the senior was waving to Dake, right?" he asked in a low voice.
"Ah? Which senior? Did Senior Pandora pass by?" Robert didn't notice Senior Pandora at all.
Witt was stunned for a long time and felt a little unhappy.
...
Dake didn't understand, but Diana beside him whispered: "Dake, do you like bears?"
This question really had no foreshadowing, even if Dake wanted to connect the context, he couldn't find it.
He didn't answer for a long time until Diana urged him, then he said: "Bears are so cute, of course I like them."
Diana nodded with satisfaction, and then she started chatting quietly with Rose beside her.
Dak shook his head, wondering if Diana was talking about Christmas gifts?
"She won't give me a stuffed bear, will she?"
"No way?"
Dak's expression changed slightly, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
That's not a good gift.
He would rather have a candy!
...
At seven o'clock...
As the bells on the clock tower rang, the magic lights in the auditorium suddenly went out in an instant!
The light disappeared in an instant, and darkness enveloped the auditorium.
Only the Christmas tree on the stage still emitted a faint fluorescence.
The junior students were frightened.
The senior students looked calm and composed.
Sure enough, three seconds later, when the screams just started, the auditorium lit up again in an instant!
It's just that the light source illuminating the auditorium has changed from the magic lamp to the candles on the silver candlesticks!
Thousands of candles floating in the air illuminated the hall.
On the long table covered with a Christmas tablecloth, neatly arranged gold and silver tableware appeared silently.
The candlelight reflected on the golden plates and silver goblets, reflecting colorful and blurred light, like a dream.
How could the first-year students experience such a sudden surprise?
After a moment of silence, there was a rush of loud discussions.
"Hush--"
Principal Arte, wearing a Christmas hat, successfully stepped onto the stage without being noticed when light and darkness alternated.
She stretched out her hand, and a little elf wrapped in white light flew into her palm.
Then it suddenly changed into a reindeer with a long star tail.
The brown-haired reindeer ran forward with huge antlers, and a sleigh full of gift bags appeared from the starlight.
It rushed out from the palm of Principal Arte, dragging the sled in the air, running all the way from this end of the stage, crossing the entire auditorium, knocking open the door, and disappearing into the distance.
The starlight scattered from the gift bag on the sled fell on the dinner plate, and turned into a turkey with a strong meaty aroma!
The soft belly of the turkey was full of ingredients, and the fat that slid down the surface of the chicken leg accumulated a thin layer on the dinner plate.
Dak couldn't help but eat it!
It was a rare Christmas ball, and excessive restraint was not advisable.
"Gluttony" was only more than 60 points, and there was still enough room.
"Today is Christmas Eve!"
Principal Arte's voice was full of fascinating magnetism.
"It's a day to reunite with my family!"
"But for me, St. Marian is my home."
"Every student here is my family."
"Every Christmas Eve, I will make a wish, hoping to spend the next Christmas Eve with my family."
"It seems that my wish last year has come true again."
Principal Arte couldn't help but smile.
"As the principal, I still have a lot to say, but I would rather leave the rest of the time for the dance. I think you are the same, right?"
The audience was full of joy.
Principal Arte opened his hands and embraced the air: "In this case, I will stop here. I wish you all a safe Christmas Eve! No matter when and where, peace will be with you, my dear family!"
