Chapter 338: A Taste of the Dungeon
Professor Nini's arrangement had actually also disrupted Dark's pace.
In fact, his original plan was to find a chance to act alone to see if he could find something using [Greedy Slime I].
In other words, he wanted to try his luck.
Unfortunately, the three-person team rule restricted his movement.
In desperation, he turned to look at Dianna and Rose beside him.
Seeing him look over, Dianna obliviously raised her head, then dug out a toffee from her pocket and handed it over, "Here."Dark was stunned for a moment before finally taking the toffee from her palm, opening the wrapper and putting it into his mouth.
Alas, it was really sweet.
……
Since things had come to this point, Dark stopped fretting over it.
He let go of his mind and observed the groupings of each house with great interest.
First was Noble House.
Among the first year students of Noble House, Teddy Doron was the most popular boy besides Dark. He was also extremely competitive in the first place, so he would naturally seek to form a team.
Although Professor Nini didn't make any requirements on the level of monsters to be hunted, if there was a goal, there would be competition.
Be it between houses or in-house, the competitions had already secretly begun.
Aside from the chubby Pistein, a girl who brought a [Magic Energy Compass] was also invited to Doron's team, meeting the quota to form a three-person group.
When Dark looked over there, he happened to meet Doron's gaze, so he gave a slight nod.
Seemingly misunderstanding something, Doron suddenly raised his fist and clenched it hard, exuding a strong fighting spirit.
Moving on to the other side.
When it came to competitiveness, Knight House never lost to anyone.
Aside from White and Robert, the always eye-catching sunshine boy Justin Wayne was also looking for team members.
But Justin Wayne had a [Magic Energy Compass] in his possession, so he was able to choose the team members more leisurely and quickly picked two of the best students from his group of friends.
However, our Miss know-it-all Emma Mortis had run into trouble.
Her two deskmates, Susan and Lucy, weren't exactly good students, and they were also not very willing to leave Professor Nini's protection to go adventuring.
Although Knight House had the label of courage and integrity, the so-called courage and integrity had always taken many different forms.
Some people might look brave on the outside, but they would run faster than anyone else at critical moments.
Some people might seem cowardly at normal times, but they never backed down when it was time to be brave.
Emma had always strongly believed that these two friends of hers were also girls who were brave at heart. If she insisted on it, they would definitely muster the courage to accompany her.
But she was no longer the immature person who would do that kind of thing.
Social interaction would lead to one's growth.
She knew she had to think about finding other people to team up with.
The most ideal choice...
As her line of sight inadvertently swept past the crowd of Noble House students, she immediately let out a sigh.
She wasn't able to find her place in that group.
Then, she decided to go with the next best thing.
Emma once again looked at the gathering of Magister House students.
The representative of Magister House, Sara Swati, was currently talking in a low voice with her die-hard fan, Heidi Euphemia(尤菲米娅).
Heidi was a girl with black hair and bright eyes who always put her hair into two thick braids and laid them over her chest.
As one of the students of Magister House, although she wasn't as excellent as Sara, she was still considerably good.
At present, both of them were holding [Magic Energy Compass] in their hands, seemingly looking for a third team member.
"If it's them..."
Emma couldn't help feeling tempted.
Although they weren't from the same house, those two were undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
But she bit her lip and finally looked away.
Teaming up with Sara wasn't in her consideration.
……
Professor Nini didn't let the students stay for too long. Upon making sure that her meaning had been conveyed clearly, she assembled them and set off for the second floor of the dungeon.
Suppressing the excitement in their hearts, the students who entered the dungeon for the first time reminded each other to hold their magic cards in their hands, keeping them where they could be summoned at any time as they proceeded forward following Professor Nini's steps.
Dark Demon naturally walked at the rear. Above his head was DemiDevimon who was carrying the lunch box, on his left was Gatomon who was carrying the backpack, and in front of him were Dianna and Rose.
It was also his first time entering a dungeon, but perhaps because he had played many RPGs in his previous life, he felt a special sense of familiarity with this type of dungeon.
Saint Marian's dungeon was very special, but its speciality was something that progressively increased along the depth of the floors.
It was said that the structure of the whole dungeon was similar to a "spire". The lower one descended, the more vast and complex the terrain became.
On a deeper floor, it was akin to a small world with its own ecological structures.
But the topmost floor was a very ordinary maze-type dungeon.
A series of connected walls separated the entire floor into countless sections, and the adventurers would continuously walk deeper inside through the passages between the walls.
In a sense, it was somewhat similar to the secret passage inside the castle.
Thinking of this, Dark spontaneously recalled the [Minotaur] he came across in the secret passage.
In the secret passage, the appearance of [Minotaur] was considered an unexpected event, but in the dungeon, it would be considered a normal occurrence.
Of course, monsters of that level would logically not spawn on the first floor of the dungeon.
Even the boss of this floor was only around 5 or 6-star in strength.
In short, it was relatively safe.
Naturally, there were no automatic magic lights in the dungeon.
In its place was a special type of moss.
Glowing moss could be seen covering all corners of the dungeon, especially on the ceiling where large clusters gathered.
Professor Nini previously mentioned in class that this plant called "Luminous Moss(光苔藓)" was a nocturnal type.
They preyed on carcasses and other decaying matters at night and stayed still during the day, releasing light during their digestion process.
Most Luminous Moss were white, but they also came in many other colors such as green or red.
Under the illumination of the Luminous Moss, the dungeon presented a bizarre and lurid sight.
Luminous Moss wasn't the only plant present on the first floor of the dungeon.
All kinds of unique plants that were hardly seen outside grew everywhere in the nooks and crannies of the walls.
Upon careful inspection, one would discover many flowers and plants that could be used as ingredients for magic potions.
While leading them, Professor Nini didn't walk without a pause. She would occasionally stop to rest in spots with lush vegetation.
