Chapter 561
But the photo perfectly showed the moment when the girl kissed the boy.
She felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
She thought that after returning home, she would definitely find a photo frame and put it on the bedside!
When she was immersed in her own world, Dak had already taken photos with Rose.
Then Rose took her arm, pulled her together, and took another photo of the three of them.
This time, three photos floated out from the pages of the magic book.
Finally, Rose took another photo with Diana.
In this way, each of the three people got three photos.
They took advantage of the fact that there were not many people and quickly went into the auditorium and walked to the seats belonging to the first-year area of the Noble Academy.
The auditorium has been decorated in black, which represents the School of Magic. There are many scattered magic items hanging on the walls. The tablecloths on the four long tables have been replaced with dark purple cloths. The candlesticks floating in the air have also been replaced with magic claw candlesticks with a rustic flavor. The spider silk decorations hanging from the ceiling make the auditorium more dilapidated and old.
The ghost magic elves hanging upside down on the ceiling like bats add a bit of gloom.
Above the stage, there are huge banners.
Tonight's end-of-term party is more like a graduation ceremony for the sixth graders than a summary meeting at the end of the school year.
The awarding of the college cup is actually secondary.
Not long after Dak and the other two sat down, more and more students poured into the auditorium.
By six o'clock, almost all the students had taken their seats, and a sad melody sounded in the auditorium.
The first-year students didn't feel much about graduation. It was too far away from them, and it was not as attractive as the desserts on the table.
While eating dessert, they looked curiously at the sixth graders closest to the stage, wondering if they would feel so sad when they face graduation.
After a while, the professors in formal attire walked out from behind the stage and sat in the teacher's seat.
The professors tonight were all serious, even Professor Lily didn't do anything funny.
Dak looked at the professors who sat down one after another from a distance, but he was thinking about something else: "I wonder if Principal Arte has returned to the academy on such an important occasion?"
Rose, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously: "Dak, what are you thinking about?"
Dak said softly: "Nothing."
Then he turned his head slightly and saw Principal Arte walking onto the stage.
"Principal Arte, as always, is the last to appear."
Dak couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.
Although he couldn't tell whether the principal on the stage was the real one or a clone, it was actually not that important.
…
"It's June in a blink of an eye. Nine months have passed since the first-year students entered school."
Principal Arte was not as fancy as she was on Christmas Eve. She just stood in the center of the stage and spoke softly.
"And our sixth-year students can finally walk out of the cradle of the college and become independent adults."
"As the principal, I sincerely hope that after you leave the college, you can give full play to your strengths, benefit mankind, and become pioneers leading the times to a better future."
"In the college, we have experienced a lot and encountered a lot, but that is only the tip of the iceberg of the whole world. After leaving the college, you will see more and encounter more."
"I hope that by then, you will not forget what you have learned in the college, whether it is knowledge or spirit."
"Now, let's talk about some happy things, such as the college cup."
Principal Arte's smile is like the bright moon, and her voice is as soft as moonlight, but the happy things she said do not belong to everyone.
The atmosphere in the auditorium, which had gradually risen due to her previous speech, took a sharp turn because of this sudden speech.
Everyone in the academy knew that this year's College Cup belonged to the School of Magic, so the other three-quarters of the students naturally could not be happy.
However, Principal Arte still announced the scores of the four academies one by one as if nothing had happened.
In the end, the School of Fools was fourth, the School of Knights was third, the School of Nobles was second, and the first place was indeed the School of Magic!
As the final result was settled, the entire audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause.
Although three-quarters of the people were perfunctory, it turned out that only one-quarter of the people could make enough noise.
Dak looked at the students around him with wooden faces and wanted to laugh unexpectedly, but he held it back.
In short, the matter of the College Cup was determined, and there was no meaningless reversal like the first grade in "Harry Potter".
And the sixth-grade head from the School of Magic walked onto the stage for the last time on behalf of the School of Magic before graduation and received a golden trophy.
That was this year's College Cup, a large version made in imitation of the Holy Grail, with the year and the words of the School of Magic engraved on the cup.
"As a student of the School of Magic who has been a class leader since the second grade, I am deeply honored to receive such a huge surprise when I am about to graduate!"
The sixth-grade class leader held up the trophy of the school cup, with a smile as beautiful as a flower on his face.
"I hope that after I leave, the School of Magic will still remember its original intention. Those who seek knowledge will become wise!"
The students applauded again from the audience.
After the sixth grade headmaster took the trophy off the stage, Principal Arte came back to the stage. She first told a few chilling old jokes, and then suddenly raised her wand and tapped it, and a golden light appeared on the tip of the wand.
Then the golden light suddenly burst out, and a golden halo appeared on the stage.
Through the golden halo, you can see the golden cup still placed in the secret room.
It is one of the three great prayer artifacts, the wishing cup made by God in legend, that is, the Holy Grail of St. Marian!
Dak still clearly remembers that there is an inscription written in ancient characters on the base of the Holy Grail.
On the front is: The greedy have nothing.
On the back is: The non-greedy have nothing.
…
Even at a very long distance, the breath of the Holy Grail is still fascinating.
When it appears, almost all students' eyes are attracted by it, as if their whole souls are being sucked in.
"Pop!"
Principal Arte clapped his hands gently, and the crisp applause reached everyone's ears.
All the people suddenly woke up.
It was not the first time for students other than the first grade to see the Holy Grail, but they still could not easily get rid of its attraction.
The Holy Grail was filled with the power of prayer, rippling like wine, and the deep background was like the starry sky at night, with dots flashing.
Principal Arte raised his wand and hooked it lightly, and suddenly thousands of strands of golden light were drawn out of the Holy Grail, converging into a golden river shining with stars.
"Make a wish, the Holy Grail will answer your prayers. But remember, the greedy have nothing."
Principal Arte waved his wand, letting the golden river rush to the long table of the Magic Academy, reflecting everyone in the golden light.
The power of prayer flowed in it, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
The first-year students of the Magic Academy immediately stretched out their fingers to touch the golden light with joy.
But the students of the second-year magic school and above had already closed their eyes.
Then the first-year magic school students suddenly woke up and hurriedly closed their eyes to pray.
Students from other colleges could only envy and hate.
"I wonder how many people can realize their wishes?"
Dak thought slowly.
The Holy Grail of Saint Marian is an existence beyond the standard. As long as enough prayer power is gathered, there is a chance to obtain even legendary items.
Although the probability is extremely low, it is possible after all.
However, over the years, there are very few students who would take this risk.
Most students will choose the wish of "magic power growth" based on past experience.
It is a wish that is both realistic and has a high probability of realization.
Dak has seen in that "wish list" that the probability of "magic power growth" is as high as more than 70%!
In other words, as long as you are not too unlucky, you will get some gains.
And those few students will not make too outrageous wishes because of the warning that "the greedy will have nothing".
"Damn, my candy house!"
Dark automatically ignored Diana's gnashing murmurs.
He would never tell Diana that the probability of the candy house being realized was more than 80%!
…
About three minutes later.
After a special reminder from Principal Arte, even those who were hesitant hurriedly made a wish.
The Holy Grail behind the aperture suddenly emitted circles of dark ripples.
The ripples actually penetrated the space, swung out from the aperture, and radiated to the entire hall.
The area of the magic dean's desk suddenly rang with exclamations one after another.
Most of the students who wished for "magic power growth" were pleasantly surprised to find that their magic power suddenly became active and increased more or less.
And the students who wished for physical objects suddenly found that the things they wanted appeared on the table out of thin air, and they were immediately ecstatic.
Of course, there were also many people who had nothing and were like losing their parents.
However, there is only one chance to make a wish from the Holy Grail. If you fail, you fail. You can only look forward to the College Cup next year.
…
Principal Arte started to speak again after everyone calmed down from the surprise.
She first congratulated the students who realized their wishes, and then expressed regret for the students who did not realize their wishes, encouraging them to continue to work hard next year.
After that, Principal Arte recounted the important things that happened in this school year one by one.
She was always away from the college, but she knew everything that happened inside the college.
In the process of narrating, she praised the successful people and criticized the troublemakers.
Then, she began to talk about the sixth grade.
As she talked, some of the sixth graders began to sob softly, and the sad atmosphere of leaving school gradually became thicker.
After she finished speaking, she began to let the representatives of the four branches of the sixth grade and the students with important responsibilities come up one by one to give speeches.
Then it was free speech time, and every sixth grader could speak on the stage to express the sadness of the upcoming departure.
The whole session was just about to end at eight o'clock.
Principal Arte finally drew a magic card from the food series and waved it gently at the audience, and all the tables were covered with exquisite food.
Dinner time has finally arrived.
…
There is nothing fancy about tonight's dinner.
When dinner is over, the cakes and tea are laid out again, and the party enters the final individual dance session.
Everyone stood up and danced to the melody beside their seats.
It was a summary of a year of college life and a farewell ceremony for the sixth graders.
There was no need to announce the end of the dinner, and the students who finished dancing left the auditorium one after another.
Dak did not stay in the auditorium for long.
As soon as he stood up, Diana and Rose followed him with laughter.
The three decided to take a short walk around the castle at the end of this grade.
The moonlight shone on the toes and was stepped on.
The summer evening breeze made people's hearts warm.
