The students reveled in the joy of finally having textbooks. A few were even moved to tears.
Professor Lily then began teaching basic geometry.

People encountering the Pythagorean theorem for the first time generally found it miraculous.
And it truly was miraculous.
The students studied with great interest, feeling as though they were learning magic.
But they had not realized that magic was extremely profound and difficult to learn.
In that respect, mathematics was the same.
During the break after math class, Dark could clearly feel that the atmosphere had changed.
It seemed that the turning of the page into March had suddenly made the Little Magisters realize that White Day was approaching. Whether or not they had someone whose feelings remained uncertain, both boys and girls could not help but grow nervous.
As for exactly what they were nervous about—
Who could say for sure?
