er how the chilly mountain wind moans outside Liechtenstein Castle, no matter how deep the night, the warm bedroom always remains steadfast and unwavering.There was a moment of silence in the room.".....Chapter 83: How could Ranch be the Headmaster

On the emerald green leaves, a strange crimson clung, drops of blood slowly trickled down the petals, carrying a pungent smell that shattered the silence.

Cult member Lilaite fought hard to suppress the joy bubbling up inside her, preventing the corners of her mouth from twitching.

She was certain that Huberlyan would never dare to attack the [Immortality Mercury].

Because once Huberlian gets close, one also needs to be wary of Lilait and the "Immortality Mercury" secretly conspiring to sabotage.

Only Leilani dares to boldly kill [Immortal Mercury].

For Huberlians, this is actually a hidden dead end!

In the distance.

As if understanding this point as well, Huberly sat down on the ground with utter despair.

And Lily was already running towards the [Immortal Mercury] without hesitation.

"…"

Ranch's gaze shifted slightly from the pages of his book, catching sight of Rilete mercilessly assaulting the summoned beast.

This criminal seems very keen on staging elaborate performances, even having the silver creature attack him from time to time. He appears to be genuinely at odds with this summon, putting in a Herculean effort to frame Hubertian.

Lanche leaned his head back and looked at the Huberlian on the ground.

Just then, their eyes met.

Lanche blinked his eyes quietly.

Everything is going according to plan.

"……"

Hyberlian's eyes were full of speechless and helplessness.

She felt that Lance, even if he dragged two demon teachers to hold back the cultists, wouldn't necessarily lose.

Of course, it's best to win without bloodshed.

However, Huberly suspected that Lynch just wanted to see the cult members crumble when they finally learned the truth and realized they'd been manipulated.

……

A few minutes later.

The overgrown grass of the botanical garden was finally cleared of the silver alien summons, thanks to the combined efforts of the Headmaster of the Magic Department and Lyle.

Lilai let out a sigh of relief and looked in the direction of the principal.

She believes the mechanism has already successfully passed.

Next, the principal will help her deal with that duchess.

However.

This sense of security lasted for less than a second. The moment she relaxed, a wave of deathly, inhuman magic surged from beside her, like thunder erupting in the sky with no warning.

That was a sneak attack from the head of the Magic Department.

Lily's reaction was incredibly swift. In almost an instant, she sensed the danger, her body instinctively curving to dodge the life-threatening attack.

Even so.

Her outer garment was still ripped open by that magic, blood seeping from the wound and staining her dress red.

At this moment, Lily's heart was once again filled with terror.

Far away.

The principal is still reading a book.

Huperlyan was still sitting on the ground.

This harmonious state is like the principal never intended to carry out his promise to execute Huberley.

Why!

Lilylight swiftly parried the deadly attack of the Headmaster of Magic Academy, her eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, she might have been killed.

And the demon teacher beside the principal also took action, directly attacking the black mist mage on the second floor, and taking his head.

"Foolish fellow, think you can fool the Headmaster"

The Headmaster of Magic scowled and sneered.

Of course he understood the principal's plot.

At this moment, I am even more in awe of the principal's world-shaking wisdom, akin to that of a demon sage.

With mere words, he controlled the unruly student to kill the troublesome silver summoner!

"Isn't the principal supposed to be neutral!"

Lily's heart pounded like a drum out of control, rapid and chaotic. The crushing weight of reality sent tremors through her mind.

She doesn't understand why this shadow world is so unfair.

It's as if no matter how she walked, no matter what tactic she used, the executioner was always going to target her!

"Of course I'm neutral, but you're the one breaking the school rules. You even want to turn the tables and accuse me If I don't punish you, who will I punish"

Ranche spoke with a nonchalance that seemed to say he was simply sitting in his own backyard, reading a book, and not paying attention to the buzzing pests.

But Huerliann, sitting on the ground, finally couldn't keep up the act. A sneer curled upon her lips, as if mocking Lyraight.

A fleeting glance at the scene before her gave Leilani a moment's illusion—

Let her suspect that this principal is actually showing extreme favoritism to Huberlian!

"Lance, can I tell her the truth"

Hyberlia turned back, looking at Ranche.

"Haven't you already revealed the truth"

Lan Qi's fingertips brushed over the pages of the book, speaking without raising his head.

"Ranch..."

In the distant distance, Reillette's astonishment and unwillingness reached their peak.

She heard Hubrian call the principal's name.

Ranch.

A ludicrous, yet terrifying conjecture, suddenly exploded in Reilly's mind like a thunderclap.

Meanwhile, more and more doubts, seemed to converge in her heart, connecting like threads.

Why are Huberleyan's teammates nowhere to be found

Why is this radiant demon's magic so potent it's almost undetectable

Why did the principal let the challengers pass the mechanism smoothly earlier

At this moment, with all these questions intertwined, and with the explanation "Lance is the principal," it's as if everything has been solved!

"Could it be that you are Lance"

Lily's only explanation is that this is the case.

"It's really the principal, isn't it"

Lanchi gracefully pulled out the "[Lanchi, Music Teacher]" badge he had received initially in the music room from his pocket and pinned it to his chest. It seemed as if he were telling Lileite that he was not only the principal but also a formal subject teacher at this school.

His gaze never once landed on her, as if highlighting the vast difference in their status within this demon academy.

"Ah ah!! Ranchi! You bastard!!"

Rilett's cry tore through the air, echoing with rage and despair among the trees of the botanical garden.

Her eyes were red and swollen, the bloodshot veins under her tears seemed about to burst.

She finally realized she had been fooled by this thing, like a fool.

I wasn't fooled by the clear power dynamic between this guy and the demon professor even when I was in the principal's office.

Now, he was even more captivated by his aura and words, leading him to personally eliminate the greatest reliance for his escape.

But at this time.

The corridor was already packed with hordes of demonic teachers, just waiting for Lan Qi's command before they would spring into action.

"All teachers, please punish this student who violated school rules, harmed fellow students and teachers, and severely damaged school property."

Lanche, engrossed in reading with one hand holding a book, lifted his right hand, his index finger twitching slightly.

The next second, the demon teachers on the corridor behind stepped into the classroom together.

To Liliet's horror.

She saw a wall of demonic teachers, thick and packed together, as if they were about to crush the botanical garden.

The earth rumbled.

At this moment, she finally remembered the terror that humans could feel, a fear that transcended all limits, like a nightmare.

Even as her mind fractured, she couldn't comprehend how anyone could transform from student to headmaster within a single night in an academy brimming with demons.

……

"Huixuelian, accompany the great love poet, you've worked hard."

Lance was still desperately trying to read, and he said.

There is less than a minute left in the shadow world.

The moment the great poet was defeated, he sitting in the principal's office sensed a change at the botanical garden.

So he immediately set off to get there at the first possible moment.

Also, rushing through the corridors wasted a lot of reading time.

But it's okay, I'm almost done watching it.

"If I keep hanging around with you and that big love poet, I feel like I'm going to officially join the Demon Clan."

Huperlyan rose wearily to her feet.

On this trip to the Devil Academy, she learned a lot.

The good news is, they all learned from Lance.

The bad news is, she feels like her bloodline has awakened now.

Theoretically, she should have learned how to be human from humans, but from Lance, she didn't learn a single element of humanity.

Just as they were waiting for the moment when this fourth-rank Shadow World was about to come to an end.

"Lanch!!"

From the distance, where demons were about to engulf everything, came a sudden voice, like a final curse uttered on the verge of death.

You will regret helping this half-breed demon lord's daughter!!

...and with that, he was silent.

The voice of the heretic Lyra, also accompanied by desperate screams, was swallowed up in the demonic tide amidst the sound of flesh being torn apart.

Lanche didn't seem to have any feelings or reactions.

I'm just going to keep reading.

And Huberly's face suddenly turned pale.

She had hidden a secret from Lynch for so long, and she never expected it to be revealed in the last moments of this shadow world.

Although about her own demon race ancestry, she knew it couldn't be hidden for long.

But she had already planned to wait until she returned to the real world and find a better opportunity to confess her feelings to Lanchi.

Instead of hearing it from someone else, as if she had been deceiving him all along.

"Lance, listen to me, I...I was going to tell you sooner."

That heavy silence seemed to press down on her, making it hard for her to breathe and causing every word she tried to speak to die in her throat.

Kalanchi's gaze remained fixed on the book in her hands, as if she wasn't interested in hearing her explanation at all.

"I really didn't mean to deceive you."

Huperly's voice grew fainter, like the breath of winter, softly dissipating in the cold air.
