Konoha: Naruto will win no matter what choice he makes! Chapter 143

“You guessed it right.”

Facing Darke’s question, Headmaster Arte simply nodded slightly, smiling, “The hero of the Twilight War, Claire Cate, known as the [Beast Sage], will arrive at Saint Marian next week!”

As Headmaster Arte officially announced, the classroom instantly became noisy.

Although Claire wasn’t as famous as the Brave or the Valkyrie, since she bore the title of “Sage,” she must have had a certain reputation.

Moreover, on the honor wall of the Academy of Magic, there was still a portrait of the [Beast Sage]!

The most excited about this were naturally the students of the Academy of Magic.

The students of the Academy of Magic eagerly discussed, looking forward to the hero from their own academy.

On the other side, the students of the Academy of Fools were also stirred.

A girl from the Academy of Fools suddenly raised her hand and asked, “Excuse me, will Ms. Claire Cate serve as the dean of the Academy of Fools?”

Four deans for four branches.

But since Professor Didi resigned, the position of dean of the Academy of Fools had been vacant, and the students of the Academy of Fools had been leaderless.

They naturally had more fantasies about the new professor.

Headmaster Arte said, “Claire will temporarily serve as the Professor of Magic History until the end of this semester. However, whether she will continue to hold the position, or serve as the dean of the Academy of Fools, will require some time to consider. Both sides are considering.”

…

After hearing Headmaster Arte’s affirmative answer, Darke slumped into his seat.

Claire Cate, as one of Valkyrie Alvit’s good friends during her student days, had maintained contact after the war.

In fact, she had resided in the Duke’s mansion for a long time!

This “Beast Sage” was indeed as Headmaster Arte described: gentle, quiet, knowledgeable, and a respected hero.

Her only flaw was probably her fondness for turning people into animals!

He closed his eyes, listening to the excited discussions of the students, only feeling that these children were truly naive.

When they angered Claire and were turned into cats and dogs, or made Claire happy and were turned into cats and dogs, they would probably know what “no one is perfect” meant, right?

…

In short, apart from Darke, who didn’t have such a good impression of Claire, all the other students were very happy.

And after this class, the news that the [Beast Sage] would temporarily serve as the Professor of Magic History spread with the discussions of the first-years.

Before long, the entire academy knew about it.

Some people who hadn’t paid much attention to heroes in the past also started looking up information.

After all, Claire Cate was a bona fide battlefield hero.

Who wouldn’t like a hero to be their lecturing professor?

…

That evening.

As Darke was doing his homework in the library, the curious Diana quietly asked, “Darke, do you know the new Professor of Magic History?”

Darke nodded slightly and whispered, “I’ve spent some time with her.”

Diana was a little envious, “So what kind of person is Ms. Claire Cate? Will she tell hero stories like Headmaster Arte? Will she assign a lot of homework? Does she like bears?”

Darke looked at Diana’s pure, innocent eyes, a warmth flowing through him, and then said, “How to put it, she’s a person true to her name, I suppose. I think Diana will definitely have something in common with her.”

Diana immediately patted her chest, relieved, “That’s good.”

The students had expectations for the new professor, but also some worries.

But indeed, the expectations were higher.

Darke even heard the first-year students from the Academy of Magic and the Academy of Fools planning some kind of surprise.

However, the good news was that Claire Cate would only be serving at Saint Marian until the end of this semester, likely just as a temporary replacement.

The headmaster would probably find a more suitable professor during this time.

…

After returning to the dormitory, Darke completed the final extraction of [Ecstasy].

As of now.

The bug tree stored a total of five points of [Ecstasy] and one point of [Arrogance].

Darke currently had two ideas.

One was to use the [Fruit of Ecstasy] to refine two more magic spirit cards next month.

The other was to find a way to continue accumulating, and after reaching twenty points of [Ecstasy], attempt to break through to [Ecstasy IV]!

The former was a more reliable choice.

The latter had greater expectations, but he wasn’t sure if twenty points of [Ecstasy] would be enough.

But when the time came, he would still have half a month to consider.

The next day, Friday.

After the morning dueling class ended, the students once again looked forward to the trip to Traveler Street.

There were no related tasks for Traveler Street this week, and the first-year students seemed to have not had a good time playing for a long time, plus they had been suppressed by homework, so they were all itching to go.

As soon as noon struck.

Students poured into Traveler Street in twos and threes.

Darke waited a bit, and only set off for Traveler Street at one o’clock.

He went directly to the [Meow Meow Flora Store], first greeted the cats, and then asked the shop assistant, “Miss Cat, has there been any progress in the development of the Bunny Grass?”

The shop assistant was very happy that someone was constantly thinking about their new product: “The progress is decent, it should yield results in half a month at the earliest, or two months at the latest. Dimon, do you think Bunny Grass will sell well?”

Darke smiled, “It should, after all, bunnies are so cute.”

Then he went into the secret room for a stroll, but didn’t buy any new catnip.

…

This weekend.

Darke spent more time on learning [Magic Language].

His progress was not slow, and he was gradually getting the hang of it.

Senior Pandora’s guidance was like opening a window for him, allowing him to see the scene inside the room more clearly, making learning easier.

And while he was putting in effort for this.

Witt and Robert once again ventured deep into the secret passage, embarking on an adventure to find treasure.

On the other side, Emma Metis’s research on that mural also reached a critical point.

On Sunday evening, Emma sought out Darke and shared her research.

Darke felt a little embarrassed, as he hadn’t had time to research the mural at all until now…

But Emma didn’t complain because of this.

She had consulted many documents, asked senior sisters, and conducted detailed deductions and analyses according to her own ideas, finally achieving some results.

Darke moved over one seat, letting Emma sit next to him.

As Emma shared her results, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards.

She spread out her notebook and whispered, “If my analysis isn’t wrong, this set of murals should be from the Ultra-Ancient Era, four epochs ago, when there were still many deities, who either resided in the heavens or mingled among the people…”
