At the opening ceremony three months later, they will be able to move up one grade and sit in the third grade.
After Dak sat down, he finally had time to take in the layout of the entire auditorium. This year, the auditorium was decorated with a fiery red theme. Bright red flowers covered the edges of the entire ceiling, and branches hanging from above burned with illusory flames. The candlesticks floating in the air were painted red, and all the candles were replaced with red candles.
Fire elemental magic sprites danced around the candlelight, and slightly rousing music echoed in the sky, uplifting the students' spirits.
On the stage, the fiery red curtain rippled like the tide, and a ball of flame floated in the air, shooting up like a pillar.
Tonight's party serves as both an end-of-term celebration and a graduation ceremony for sixth graders, with the latter clearly carrying greater significance.
The sixth-grade students were noticeably more solemn compared to students in other grades.
But graduation doesn't have to be sentimental. This year's theme is "Burning." We hope that all graduating students will burn like flames and shine even brighter in the future.
It was exactly 6 p.m.
All the students were seated when a piano suddenly appeared in the corner of the stage, and began to play without anyone performing.
Then, to the sound of piano music, the professors emerged from behind the stage and took their seats in the faculty section.
Immediately afterwards, the ball in the center of the stage suddenly exploded, and Principal Arte, dressed in a bright red dress, made a stunning entrance from the flames.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!"
Principal Arte gracefully took two steps forward. Then, lifting her skirt, she bowed in greeting, and when she looked up again, she had drawn back the curtain on tonight's party.
The students of the Noble Academy couldn't help but get excited.
According to the usual procedure, the end-of-term party would begin with the awarding of the College Cup.
"Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye." "But this year, everyone has given the college a great surprise." "Thanks to the efforts of all the teachers and students of the college, the average score of the final exam has broken the highest record in history."
“This has to be said to be a very special year.” “In every respect.” Principal Arte smiled broadly.
Tonight, she shone like fire, yet remained elegant and graceful. The overall improvement in the college's academic performance is a reality that every student can feel.
As soon as she said this, the students below the stage couldn't help but show genuine smiles.
However, Principal Arte soon brought up the Academy Cup again. This wasn't something that would make everyone laugh.
"First of all, congratulations to the Academy of Nobles for finally winning the Academy Cup after overcoming numerous setbacks."
As soon as she finished speaking, the area belonging to the Noble House erupted in cheers and applause.
Amid cheers, Principal Arte slowly announced the final scores for the four colleges.
Among them, the House of Nobles is naturally ranked first, followed by the House of Magic, then the House of Knights, and finally the House of Fools.
When the House of Fools was mentioned last, Professor Hoddle Bode, the head of the house, visibly frowned. The students of the House of Fools, while feeling depressed, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines and were filled with inexplicable fear.
However, out of politeness, the other three colleges also gave a sparse round of applause.
Once the dust settled and the applause subsided, Principal Art took out her wand and waved it gently, instantly conjuring a golden trophy.
It was a trophy modeled after the Holy Grail, with the year and the words "Holy House" engraved on its surface.
Then, the sixth-year prefect of the Noble Academy excitedly took to the stage. This prefect hadn't had much of a presence in the Academy Cup, but he had actually participated in the Dungeon Fighter Tournament and had contributed significantly.
Receiving the trophy on behalf of the House of Peers this time is well-deserved.
However, it was clear that he was a little too excited. "How should I put it..."
Holding the trophy, the sixth-year prefect of the noble academy spoke with a choked voice.
"Before May, I never imagined that we would be able to lift the trophy again. You know, the last time we won the Academy Cup was when I was still a junior. I never thought that in the blink of an eye, both I and my classmates would be sixth-year graduates."
"I originally thought that this year's Academy Cup would still go to the Magic Academy... or that it would be snatched away by the Knight Academy, after all, Noah is just too amazing..."
"Wait, I seem to have said something a bit redundant. Anyway, it's not that Noah isn't powerful, it's that our Dark Dimon is too powerful... No, Noah is still very powerful."
[Cough cough cough.]
The prefect suddenly heard a cough and immediately realized what was happening.
He quickly interrupted his speech, raised the trophy high in his hand, and shouted, "Here, I sincerely wish that the next Academy Cup, and the one after that, and the one after that, will still be ours!"
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
The students from the noble academy clapped enthusiastically, their cheeks flushed with excitement. Principal Arte quickly went up to the stage and gestured for the sixth-year prefect to step down.
Then she lightened the mood with her signature outdated jokes, before raising her wand again and making a circle on the stage.
The trail of light left in the air solidified into a shape.
The golden cup, still placed in the secret room, appeared before everyone's eyes through its golden halo.
That is one of the three great artifacts for making wishes, the legendary wishing cup created by the gods, which is also the Holy Grail of St. Marian Academy!
"The greedy have nothing." "The non-greedy have nothing either."
Dark read aloud the ancient inscription engraved on the base of the Holy Grail, making final arrangements in his mind for the prayer that was about to begin.
With the appearance of the Holy Grail, all sound in the auditorium naturally ceased. Everyone's attention was drawn to the Holy Grail until Principal Arte spoke up to remind them, bringing them back to their senses.
The Holy Grail was filled with the power of prayer, rippling like wine, its deep color like the starry night sky, dappled with shimmering specks.
Principal Arte raised her wand and gently flicked it, instantly drawing countless strands of golden light from the Holy Grail, which converged into a shimmering golden river.
"Make a wish, and the Holy Grail will answer your prayers. But remember, the greedy will have nothing."
As the wand was waved, a golden river rushed toward the long table in the noble academy, illuminating every face in its golden light.
The power of prayer flows within it, exuding a mysterious aura.
The students of the Noble Academy quickly closed their eyes and, amidst the envious gazes of the students from other academies, made the wishes they had prepared for so long.
The same goes for Darko Dimon.
About three minutes later, everyone had finished making their wishes.
Suddenly, the Holy Grail in the secret chamber released rings of dark ripples that passed through the golden halo and spread throughout the entire hall.
Exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.
The students of the Noble Academy suddenly opened their eyes, all looking excitedly at the wishing objects they had suddenly obtained. A few of them who failed to make their wishes were overwhelmed by the wave of excitement.
Dark looked up, a similarly excited smile on his face. But as he instinctively turned his head away, the smile abruptly vanished.
But in Diana's palm was a candy box shaped like a small wooden house!
"I told you not to wish for a candy house, but you wished for a candy box shaped like a wooden house."

string (16521) "
Chapter 1077 Goodbye, Second Year (5k)
While most of the students in the Noble Academy were focused on the results of their wishes, the air in this small area suddenly froze.
Dark has a very good understanding of the Holy Grail's wish-granting mechanism.
Wishes like the Candy House have a success rate of over 80%.
But is there any point in making a wishing candy house? Obviously not.
So, in order to prevent Diana from wishing for the candy house, Dark had given her a heads-up beforehand.
Besides, hadn't he already cleared out a candy house for Diana in the clubroom?
"So, what on earth is that thing in her hand?" Rose couldn't help but turn her head and ask in surprise. Diana tilted her head slightly, but said with a smug look, "It's the Fate Witch's Candy House."
Dark frowned upon hearing this, referring to "The Fairy of Destiny's Candy House".
Diana explained briefly, "I wished for the items in the candy house, and I never expected it to actually come true! All the candies in this candy house contain a special power of destiny."
Dak opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
Luo made no attempt to hide her envy, saying, "That's great. I just made a simple wish to increase my magic power."
Dark found an opportunity and asked, "How much magic did you gain after the success?" Rose replied happily, "Quite a bit. How about you?"
Dark said, "My wish has come true. My 'Netherworld God Technique' has advanced to the intermediate level. However, further improvement will be very difficult."
This time, Mr. "Holy Grail" really put in a lot of effort.
His "Netherworld God Technique" not only advanced to the intermediate level, but also made a slight breakthrough.
This little bit may not seem like much, but if you cultivate it step by step, it will take several months to accumulate.
But this also shows that it would probably take more than ten years to train the "Netherworld God Technique" from intermediate to advanced level—and there is no guarantee that one will be able to break through successfully.
This kind of technique, which theoretically has no shortcuts, truly tests one's patience. But for now, the intermediate "Netherworld God Technique" should be sufficient. Dark could clearly feel that he had made a huge breakthrough in the concentration of his mental power; he could basically eliminate other thoughts with just a single thought and immediately return to normal.
That kind of instantaneous mental concentration can effectively stop the rise of "great sins," achieving an effect equivalent to "stopping it at an inch."
If it's used to absorb "great sins"...
I'll try it out tomorrow night and see. Dark is actually really impatient!
Research on "The Great Sin 4" is now urgent, and improving the efficiency of "The Great Sin" acquisition is imperative.
If he could absorb more "great sins" at once, it would be of great benefit to his research into those "great sins" that are not easily increased under normal circumstances.
The Holy Grail wish made at the end of each semester becomes the motivation for studying diligently in the following year.
Dak could clearly feel the burning gazes of the students from the other three departments as they looked in this direction.
The competition in next year's Academy Cup will likely be even fiercer.
But that's next year. He might be a spectator then, sitting in the audience instead of standing on the dueling stage.
After a short while, the noise subsided, and Principal Arte began to speak again. As always, she first congratulated the students who had made their wishes, then expressed her regret for those who had not, and finally encouraged the students who had not had the opportunity to make a wish to try again.
After that, Principal Arte began to recount the past academic year in a recollection.
The graduation ceremony didn't begin until all the major and minor events of the entire academic year were summarized.
No matter how brightly she paints her future, the farewell at graduation is always a sad one.
She recounted the many experiences the graduates had had at the college as if they were her own treasures, like a mother looking through old photos of her child, her voice gradually becoming somber.
She spoke for a long time, recounting many things, and the sixth-grade students felt deeply moved; many even had tears welling up in their eyes.
For the graduates, the college where they have lived for six years has become like a second home.
Leaving the academy brings not only the sorrow of parting but also the fear of facing a completely new life. Of course, there's also the excitement of stepping into a wider world. But at this moment, the sorrow always outweighs the excitement.
After a long while, Principal Arte stopped speaking and gave the time to representatives of the graduates.
As each representative took the stage to deliver a speech, the graduation ceremony reached its climax.
Finally, as the curtain falls.
Noah Sharp, the top student in sixth grade, delivered his graduation speech. The graduation ceremony concluded.
The banquet begins.
Food, dancing, the end.
After expressing their emotions, the students gradually left the auditorium, some strolling around the castle, others returning to the tower, leaving the auditorium increasingly empty.
Dark joined the second-year students of the Noble Academy in continuing their internal gathering in the common lounge of the Noble Academy tower to bid farewell to the sixth-year students.
The last day of May ended in a slightly melancholic atmosphere. After returning to his dorm, Dark lay half-reclined in bed, hugging Sylveon and Shaymin, and used his "door card" to exchange text messages with Pandora, confirming their respective schedules again. They chatted until the early hours of the morning before saying goodnight to each other.
Although they don't see each other often, the fact that they live in the same castle always makes people feel at ease.
However, after today, there will be at least a month without seeing each other again, and even contact will be somewhat difficult, so naturally, a feeling of reluctance will arise.
Perhaps this is the trouble of "long-distance relationships".
Dark couldn't even imagine what it would be like when Pandora graduated from the academy a year from now.
Although Pandora Drogon could easily stay on as a teacher at the school if she wanted, she has her own ideas, and Dark wouldn't interfere with her path because of his own willfulness.
Before this year, staying at the university might have been the first choice. But after this year, everything will change. Times change rapidly, and no one knows what the future holds.
As Dak closed his eyes and fell asleep, he summoned the system list.
It was past midnight; it was already June. "System, expand the list."

From the end of April to the end of May (early June), the values of the Seven Deadly Sins were updated again.
