Actually, he wanted to pick Gatomon right from the start.
But as a magister who was an expert of education, he deeply understood the importance of upholding the principle of fairness.
Moreover, being a baggage carrier was a real chore.
If the magical spirits volunteered for it, that would certainly be better.
Although the other magical spirits felt disappointed, Gatomon did have a kind of "Big Sister" prestige in dormitory 201.
If the one who was picked was Gatomon, they could only respect the choice.
Dark had a thorough grasp on the minds of his magical spirits.Afterwards, he recalled the rest of his magical spirits back into their magic cards and solemnly stored [Wonderland] inside his card pouch.
No one knew what might happen in this "half-day tour of the dungeon". It was safer to bring [Wonderland] with him.
In addition, he also had the idea of utilizing [Trash Slime]'s evolution—[Greedy Slime I].
Ever since he used [Greed Ⅱ] to evolve [Trash Slime] into [Greedy Slime Ⅰ], Dark hadn't had the chance to use its ultimate—[Treasure Scent].
If he could find the chance to use it, perhaps he might obtain an unexpected gain.
……
Evidently, not even Dark was immune to daydreaming about this dungeon adventure.
……
After fastening the card pouch, he personally put the backpack that was filled to the brim around Gatomon's shoulders. Then, he beckoned to DemiDevimon and handed the multi-tiered lunch box that had been wrapped in tablecloth over to it.
DemiDevimon grabbed the lunch box and flapped its wings to fly above Gatomon's left side.
Looking at his familiar spirit and magical spirit with satisfaction, Dark said, "Well then, let's go."
But as soon as he uttered those words, a feeling of déjà vu suddenly appeared inside his mind.
Why did it feel like he had seen this before?
……
For Dark Demon, whose magic energy recovery rate exceeded the human limit, maintaining the magic energy consumption of a 4-star magical spirit over a long period of time was quite an easy thing.
Dark hid [Gatomon]'s magic card inside his sleeve, constantly replenishing its magic energy through skin contact.
As for DemiDevimon, since it was a familiar spirit, it could freely move without the replenishment of magic energy.
Bringing along two magical spirits, he soon arrived at the gate of the castle.
"Dark, you're finally here."
Eyes lighting up upon seeing him, Dianna and Rose trotted over to him.
Looking at the two of them, Dark found that although the two girls were still wearing uniforms, they had subtly put on cute accessories, which reflected their inner excitement for this "spring outing".
And sure enough, Dianna was in charge of carrying their shared backpack.
Her backpack, stuffed full of food and drinks, was probably at least twice as heavy as Dark's.
And yet Dianna was carrying it as if it weighed nothing…
At this time, one couldn't help but sigh—as expected of the Bear of the Kingdom.
A little enviously, Dianna glanced at Dark's Gatomon and pouted as she lamented, "It'd be great if I also had that much magic energy."
Rose grabbed her hand and smilingly said, "Don't be envious, your magic energy is already very strong. Moreover, if there's something you should be envious about, it's Dark's familiar spirit. If it's my rabbit, it can at most only be used to send a letter."
Dianna mumbled, "My panda can be used as a pillow."
……
Dark had always been rather attention-grabbing.
When he arrived, the young magisters more or less glanced in his direction. Subsequently, their eyes were drawn to his two magical spirits, one white and the other black.
And then, as if someone had switched on a lightbulb in their heads, everyone was suddenly enlightened!
Gatomon's presence was something they couldn't afford.
But DemiDevimon's presence was certainly something they could follow suit and fill.
And thus, the students also consecutively summoned their familiar spirits.
In the academy, because the rules explicitly prohibited students from summoning their familiar spirits in the corridors (although this rule was often ignored), it was relatively rare to see someone who regularly used their familiar spirit like Dark.
Now that the familiar spirits were summoned one by one, the remaining space between the crowd was instantly filled.
The surroundings became even more lively.
Dark observed the familiar spirits of his classmates in quite the amazement.
Although familiar spirits were mostly small in size, there were always exceptions to the rule.
There were all sorts of unique varieties to the students' familiar spirits, making one marvel at the sight.
With a shift of his eyes, he saw that White and Robert had also summoned their familiar spirits.
Because he hadn't seen them for too long, he had almost forgotten the appearance of their familiar spirits.
White's familiar spirit was a knee-height Minotaur. Although it looked small, it seemed to possess the necessary strength.
It was probably due to magical spirits like [Troll], [Double-headed Ogre] and [Goblin Warrior] emerging in the magical spirit cards that he crafted that White's initial rejection towards the demon-type Minotaur slowly abated.
Gradually, he learned to view his own familiar spirit with equanimity.
It was just that the little minotaur was really too short. If it carried a backpack, it would directly drag the bag on the ground.
On the other hand, Robert's familiar spirit was a round head robot that looked very useful. Its multifunctional arms could transform into various tools, while its lower body was a crawler-type wheel.
The two of them hung their backpacks on the robot familiar spirit, looking relaxed and free of burdens.
……
Ring ding ding!
When the bell indicating the start of class rang at ten o'clock, Professor Nini, who had long arrived at the scene, asked the representatives of each House to count the number of people and excitedly said, "Next, you must listen to me carefully. Don't run around in the dungeon. Oh right, House reps, come up for a moment. I've rented a batch of Dungeon Escapers, everyone must wear it on their wrists."
"Seems like Professor Nini didn't forget about the Dungeon Escaper, but what does she mean by renting them?"
Dark couldn't help feeling dumbfounded.
"Could it be that these Dungeon Escapers have to be handed back after the adventure's done?"
Seeing the obvious distress on Professor Nini's face, Dark felt that this was indeed the case…
It was very likely that Professor Nini used her own credits to rent this batch of Dungeon Escapers.
As a professor, this was truly embarrassing…
The provisional representative of Noble House was a girl who usually sat in the front row. She asked a few students for help, swiftly distributing the Dungeon Escapers.
Upon receiving his, Dark carefully inspected it.
This Dungeon Escaper was in the shape of a watch, and it could be worn on the wrist.
There was a lid on the watch-shaped device, the kind that could be opened with a little force.
Moreover, the material of the lid itself didn't seem to be very hard. It could be broken pretty easily.
When the lid was opened, a button, which was clearly a manual trigger, could be seen lying inside.
It could be triggered both passively and actively, and could be triggered either with magic energy or manually.
This was Dungeon Escaper's special feature.
However, they probably wouldn't be using it, right?
