LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 51
Chapter 51: Dark Demon Eyeing the Masquerade
The popularity of the changing card series in Saint Maryann Academy was exceptionally high.
The students always hoped to immediately discard their old uniforms and put on their favorite clothes once they entered Traveler’s Street.
There were no changing rooms at the entrance and exit of Traveler’s Street.
Without a changing card, one would have to borrow space from clothing stores and bring complete sets of clothes, which was both inconvenient and unattractive.
However, the clothing stores in Traveler’s Street only provided the latest trendy fashions and did not offer changing cards.
Therefore, students could only obtain changing cards either by making them themselves or by purchasing them from the stalls set up by senior students.
But because making changing cards was actually very complex and did not earn many credits, few people sold them.
Dark stopped to observe curiously and found that all the changing cards sold at this stall were themed for “Halloween.”
When talking about Halloween, people naturally think of pumpkins, candies, ghosts, and masquerades!
On the night before Halloween at Saint Maryann, there would be an unprecedentedly grand masquerade that transformed the entire castle into a stage!
If one could catch the hidden “ghosts” during the masquerade, they could exchange them for credit rewards!
Those who caught the most “ghosts” would even receive a special title.
As Halloween approached, some experienced seniors were already rubbing their hands in anticipation, and Dark occasionally heard them mention it in the common room.
For first-year students, Halloween was a rare opportunity to earn a lot of credits!
In short, no one would wear their school uniforms on that day!
Dark certainly didn’t want to be the only exception.
Since he happened upon it, he thought about picking a changing card to use, as it wasn’t expensive.
He glanced at the prices marked: “33 credits,” “66 credits,” and “88 credits.”
Dark paid little attention.
He squatted down to carefully browse for a while.
Since it was Halloween-themed, most of the changing cards here had extremely high body coverage. Of course, there were also succubus styles with extremely revealing designs, but those were few.
There were more of the “Vampire Series,” “Knight Series,” “Monster Series,” and “Royal Palace Series.” Although there were others, they lacked uniformity.
“First year, Noble Academy?” the senior selling at the stall casually asked.
Dark nodded politely and said, “Senior, hello.”
That senior smiled quite happily: “Although I’m from Fool’s Academy, I still consider myself your senior. My name is Leon. If your classmates also need changing cards, you can directly come to the Fool’s Academy common room to find me.”
Dark curiously asked: “Doesn’t Fool’s Academy common room have any access restrictions?”
Leon explained: “Of course, but our door lady is very hospitable. Just bring a gift, oh, I mean, bring a small bottle of lubricant, and she’ll open the door for you.”
Dark was surprised: “Lubricant?”
“Cough!” Leon looked away, embarrassed, “Anyway, that’s how it is. Since you’re a new student in Noble Academy, I recommend this vampire set! It’s the most popular series among previous students in Noble Academy. I’ve even injected sweet blood plasma into the fangs; just input mana, and blood will flow out!”
“That’s indeed pretty good.”
Dark lowered his gaze, first flipping through the vampire set, finding it was traditional red and black, which was beautiful, but something seemed missing.
He casually asked: “Is there a Demon King set?”
Leon’s expression stiffened: “There’s a Hero set. Oh right, I remember a student claiming to be the Hero’s Child came to your academy this year?”
Dark: “Knight Academy.”
“Knight?” Leon sighed, “I really hope he can wear my Masked Knight set.”
Dark suddenly shivered: “Masked Knight set?”
“Yes.” Leon proudly said, “That was a famous hero during the time when demons still existed. Using a special belt, just insert the changing card into the belt, and you can transform into a Masked Knight, very similar to the current Sacred Garment series magic cards. Do you know Valkyrie Alvaraite? She is one of the holders of the Twelve Golden Sacred Garments.”
Dark of course knew Valkyrie and had seen her complain about the tightness of the Sacred Garment.
So-called “Sacred Garments” were very similar to “Sacred Clothes.” The Twelve Golden Sacred Garments were designed based on the twelve constellations, multiplying the user’s strength and speed by hundreds!
—A Valkyrie in Sacred Garment is truly a Valkyrie!
Dark couldn’t help but become interested in the Masked Knight set.
But the more he looked, the more he felt something was off.
Why did this Masked Knight set made by Leon look like Beelzebub’s set?
Forget it, let’s go for something ordinary!
Such full-body sets were too restrictive for movement. If he planned to make a big move on Halloween, it would be better to pick a lighter set.
For example, this “Night Costume Mask Set” was excellent.
Black suit, white glasses, deep red cape, white gloves, and a blood-red rose!
And it only cost 33 credits.
“Just this one.”
Dark wasn’t too worried; if it didn’t work out, he could change it later.
Senior Leon didn’t get upset that he chose the cheapest changing card, but instead patiently explained how to engrave the final formation array on the changing card.
Dark expressed that he learned a lot.
These 33 credits were worth it!
But before leaving, Senior Leon suddenly called him back: “By the way, I’ll give you a love divination card. Enjoy your youth!”
…
Holding the love divination card given by Senior Leon, Dark’s thoughts were somewhat chaotic.
“Senior Leon looks honest and is a student from Fool’s Academy, so he doesn’t seem like someone who would lie. Then, could these love divination cards really be distributed by Professor Kazel?”
“Professor Kazel does indeed have proficient magic technology, but does he… have such taste?”
Dark carefully examined the still exquisite flower card in his hand, unable to imagine how the goblin-blooded Professor Kazel could make something like this.
According to Senior Leon’s words, Professor Kazel had only distributed the flower cards to them, asking them to give them to those who were eye-catching.
The number of flower cards was actually not much; this was Senior Leon’s last flower card.
Dark really couldn’t think of what he and Diana had in common. He went around the Curious Candy Shop again, bought some toffee, and果然 got another flower card!
Then he went to the flower shop, jewelry store, clothing store…
Some shops gave him a flower card, while others had already run out.
After a full circle, including the one given by Senior Leon, he ended up with eight flower cards.
Adding to the one he already had, that made nine!
“Nine flower cards,也算是a good harvest.”
Before the sunset, Dark left Traveler’s Street.
When he walked out of Lotus Pavilion, he just happened to cross paths with Wit and Robert.
It seemed these two kids had already overcome their previous estrangement and were playing together again.
“Speaking of which, have they finished their homework?”
Dark was puzzled.
