Jingle bell~~

The bell rang for the end of class.

The math teacher in front of the podium clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, that's all for today's class, next Tuesday will check the knowledge points taught today, everyone remember to review it when they go back." ”

After the teacher left, Dior tidied up the books on the table, followed the students in front of him who kept leaving the classroom, and walked towards the outside of the classroom with the gray cloth schoolbag on his back.

There is only one class this afternoon, and the rest of the time is the time for students' club activities, of course, students can also go back to rest without participating in club activities, but in this case, there will be no credits for the part of club activities.

In terms of club activities, Dior chose one of the most popular clubs - the football club, but for him this is just a means to earn some credits, he has little interest in football, and now that he has other plans, then social activities can be put aside.

More than ten minutes later, Dior's figure appeared at the door of the academy library.

The library is more than 100 years old, and after three major renovations, the Hymers-style building looks like it was newly built, and the collection of 7 million books in the country is second to none.

Entering the hall, Dio carefully looked around the surroundings, and saw that he could not find the person he was looking for, so he walked towards the back of the hall, where there were small reading rooms, and he estimated that people should be there.

As he expected, he found Maya, who was reading a book alone, in a corner room.

The room is small but well lit, the sunlight slanted into the room, dyeing the room with a yellowish halo, the walls around the wall are not visible, completely blocked by the bookshelves and the dense books on them, and in the middle there is a dark wooden table and a few chairs for the students to use.

This room is not closed, there are semi-arc openings on both sides, and outside the doorway is the passageway, standing on the doorway and looking outward, you can see that there is such a room on the opposite side of the corridor, and there are two doorways in the same position that are also open, and there is a new room on the opposite side of that room.

These rooms are connected in a straight line like skewers, door to door, running through more than a dozen rooms for more than 100 meters, and then the façade of the library, this special layout makes it easy for visitors to walk around this area of small reading rooms in various ways and find what they need.

"Hi, Maya. Dio sat down across from Maya and said hello.

Maybe she was too involved, and it wasn't until Dio opened her mouth that she realized that someone had come to this room, and immediately looked up in fright, and was relieved to see that it was Dio.

"Hi. Her voice was as quiet and unconfident as ever.

"Why are you here? I thought you weren't here, but I'm glad I looked for it. ”

Maya opened her mouth, but didn't say anything, and hung her head slightly.

For Maya's character, Dio has long been familiar with it, and it took him a lot of time to become friends with Maya before, and he didn't care about her appearance, he looked at the surrounding situation casually, and then noticed a stack of books in front of Maya, so he took the top one casually.

"Medieval occultism, are you interested in this?" Dior flipped through the pages, curious about Maya's hobbies.

Maya immediately took back the book in Dio's hand with some nervousness, ignoring Dio's question.

"No, I actually have some research in this area, but I am most interested in the aspect of mystical rituals, you know? The earliest occult can be traced back to the time of the Neandros, probably twenty or thirty thousand years ago......

Dio looked at Maya with some smugness, the girl was obviously attracted by what he said, and made a gesture of listening, Dio, who knew her well, naturally knew how to attract her attention, and what he said was true, because the Book of Origin came from the ruins of a Neandro.

“...... Neandro is an important dividing line between modern and ancient Homo erectus, according to the available information, in the more than 1,000 years after the appearance of Neandro, ancient Homo erectus quickly perished, it is certain that this qiē and Neandro are inseparable, so it can be determined that Neandro created the era of modern human race.

They were also the first tribal civilizations to perform large-scale sacrifices, believing that the sacrifice of the gods in Tongguò could give them extraordinary powers, and that the remains of the largest existing Neandro sacrifice site discovered thirty years ago could accommodate more than 100,000 people to perform sacrifices at the same time, and the murals left behind are recorded of Neandro warriors defeating giant beasts and even controlling the energy of nature, which proves that they may have really gained extraordinary power from the sacrifice, so it is regarded as the origin of the occult.

But the strange thing is that at the height of the Neandros' glory, they suddenly disappeared, and there was a gap of about hundreds of years here, and no one has yet been able to unravel what happened during that time, but now there is a conjecture that the Neandro people worshipped a completely different system of gods and goddesses from later human civilization, so some people think that there should have been a large-scale and brutal religious war during this time, which led to the rapid demise of the Neandros and the historical gap......"

What Dio said was obviously very appealing to the girl, causing her to ask some questions from time to time, and Dio answered them one by one, and it seemed that the conversation between the two was very speculative.

After satisfying Maya's curiosity about the Neandros, Dio saw that the time was almost up, and said, "By the way, you know that next week is the All Souls' Day Ball, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Okay, I'll attend this ball, but I don't have a dance partner yet, if you don't have a dance partner either, would you like to join me?"

Maya looked at Dio in a daze for a while, shook her head slightly in disbelief, and said two words for a long time: "What?"

"Next week's All Souls' Day Ball. Dio repeated with a sincere expression, "Come with me?"

Maya's gaze wandered around her, but she didn't look directly at Dio, her face full of confusion.

"Maya?"

She stood up suddenly, took the book in her arms, and trotted out.

Dio immediately got up, ran after her and caught up with her not far from the aisle, grabbing her by the arm.

"Maya!"

"Let it go!" the girl turned sharply and shook off Dio's hand, "Don't make fun of me." ”

Looking at the girl in front of her who was full of thorns like a hedgehog, Dio said seriously: "I didn't make fun of you, I really invited you." ”

"Who would want to go to a ball with a weirdo?" "Shame on you?" Maya's voice unconsciously raised a lot.

"You've never been weird in my eyes, you're the most beautiful. "Christian Dior also raised his voice a lot.

The movement between the two became louder, which not only attracted the attention of the other students around them, but also attracted the attention of the library patrol teacher, who walked over quickly and said sternly: "Two students, please leave here to deal with something, please don't disturb the reading of other students." ”

"Sorry, we're leaving. Dio looked at Maya and grabbed her arm again, "Follow me." This time Maya did not resist, and obediently followed Dio out of the library, perhaps there was still a trace of anticipation in her heart.

There was a public toilet near the library, Dio took Maya to the door, looked around, and found that the women's toilet was empty, so he directly pulled Maya in and locked the door.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Dio's actions, Maya became a little nervous and began to struggle.

"Don't move!" Dior snorted, grabbed the girl's shoulders with both hands, and came to the makeup mirror with her, so that she faced the mirror, "Look, I tell you, no matter what others think, what I say, what I see in the mirror is a beautiful girl, a girl who makes my heart move, a girl who has attracted me a long time ago." Not only do I want her to go to the ball with me as my dance partner, but I also want her to be my girlfriend, and this is true, there is no lie. ”

Listening to the young man's words, Maya's struggle stopped, and she looked at herself and the people around her in the mirror in a daze, her eyes slightly red.

"I said what I wanted to say, now it's your turn, what's your answer?" Dior held her face in both hands, making eye contact with her, not giving her any chance to escape.

"I ...... I...... I promise......" After a long time, she lowered her gaze and said in a voice like a mosquito.

"What?" the voice was so soft that Dior didn't hear it clearly.

"I said, you bastard, I promised!" the girl cried out with her eyes closed, tears rolling down her cheeks, but her face was full of smiles.

......

Seeing the figure of the girl who disappeared behind the building in a hurry, Dio smiled with emotion, he felt that his heart was more fulfilled than ever, and now he was full of confidence in changing the goal that would have happened in the future.

With a happy mood, Dior came to the school gate briskly, but at this moment, his face froze, and his footsteps stopped, because not far away, several boys wearing the uniforms of the senior school of the academy surrounded him in a semi-encircled manner, and then behind, two boys were still pointing at him, one of whom he still had some impression of, was his classmate.

Here's the trouble.

Just as Dio was thinking quickly, the boys had already walked up to him, and one of them, who looked like the leader, smiled at him and said, "Dio Garros, I want to talk to you, by the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Feredo." ”
