Chapter 73: Cardinal Lanchi's Important Speech
Chapter 73: Cardinal Lanchi's Important Speech
In the depths of the night, the giant screen in Gerald Square emitted a flickering radiance, alternating between brightness and darkness like a solitary lighthouse guiding the way in the darkness.
On the stone steps facing the open-air screen.
Wearing a comfortable white dress, Thalia, fresh and natural, was like a bright spot in the midnight gloom as she quietly made her way to the edge of the square.
With a clear view, she could see the entire screen unobstructed.
She gently lifted the skirt behind her and sat down on the steps, her eyes fixed on the screen.
Soon, her brows furrowed.
On the screen.
There was a classical and solemn conference room. The high vaulted ceiling was adorned with demonic frescoes of the underworld, and the black stone walls were illuminated by purple-lit ritual boundary statues. Every detail revealed the identity of the demons who were allowed into this conference room.
Cardinal Lanchi sat in the main seat at the front, a teacup in front of him. As he spoke, he occasionally tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
The other seats were occupied by seemingly important demons from the Inferno Corridor Academy.
Each one was dressed distinctively, appearing even more magnificent and solemn under the light of the conference room's chandelier.
At this moment, they were all intently focused on Cardinal Lanchi, occasionally responding to his sharp questions with respectful attitudes, not daring to contradict him.
And at this moment, Cardinal Lanchi was no longer wearing his school uniform. He had changed into a vintage suit, and a nameplate on the desk in front of him bore a few Underworld characters—
"Acting Principal."
...
In the square of the Ichthys Academy, Thalia furrowed her brows, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the screen again.
It was no mistake.
Thalia: "???"
She wondered to herself, "Didn't I just leave for a few hours?"
How did this guy go from being a student to the principal?!
...
In the top-floor conference room of the Inferno Corridor Academy.
The atmosphere in the conference room was tense but filled with respect and anticipation.
All the school leaders were seated together, listening quietly as Cardinal Lanchi shared his insights.
Cardinal Lanchi sat in the main seat, took a sip of tea, and then placed the cup back on the table. He began to address the group, first praising the Inferno Corridor Academy for its achievements in areas such as teaching quality and campus cultural construction. At the same time, he reminded the school leaders of the importance and responsibility of their educational work.
Cardinal Lanchi then proposed several ideas for educational reform in the demon academy, including promoting educational equity, improving teaching quality, and attaching importance to the development of teaching staff.
He emphasized that education was the foundation of the Underworld, the cradle of future pillars of the Underworld, and that every educator present bore the heavy responsibility of nurturing the Underworld's new stars.
"I hope that we can work together to make education fair, high-quality, and modern, while also paying attention to improving teachers' professional ethics and promoting the all-round development of every student, unleashing their potential..."
Just as Cardinal Lanchi was guiding the school's future development strategy, the door to the conference room opened.
The vice-principal entered, closed the door, and returned to his seat beside Cardinal Lanchi. He said, "Your Excellency, the Special Envoy, the new regulations of the academy have been promulgated and implemented according to your requirements. Also, the Vampire Clan messenger and the inspector from the Underworld Inspection Office have arrived in Inferno City and are expected to arrive at the academy within an hour."
"Good."
Cardinal Lanchi nodded.
When Professor Mogut had brought him to the conference room earlier, he had met this vice-principal.
It was only because of Professor Mogut's overly trusting attitude towards him that a lot of trouble had been avoided.
And it seemed that when Professor Mogut had entered the vice-principal's office earlier to speak with him, he had also briefed him on Cardinal Lanchi's performance in the art classroom.
After Vice Principal invited Lanchi into his office, he merely saw Lanchi's black jade seal and immediately became respectful and deferential.
Soon after, the academy held an emergency high-level meeting, and the vice-principal himself took charge of executing Lanchi's request, which he deemed "necessary to deal with the Vampire Clan's messenger."
"Now that the vice-principal is back, let's first discuss the most pressing Vampire Clan issue at hand," Lanchi said, glancing at the vice-principal and then at the other high-level demons.
"Actually, I don't think the problem lies with the Vampire Clan this time. Instead, you should reflect on your own shortcomings. His Majesty the Demon King can bail you out this time, but what if there's a next time? Can he always be there to protect you?" Lanchi questioned, leaving the room full of high-ranking demons silent.
It took them a while to gather the courage to respond.
They were well aware that the esteemed confidant of the Demon King was there to clean up their mess, and a scolding was only to be expected. In fact, his choice of words was rather polite given the circumstances.
Standing behind Lanchi, Hyberrian felt a mix of emotions. She couldn't comprehend how the situation had taken such a turn, and she struggled to maintain her composure.
There he was, Lanchi, leaning back in his chair, his hand resting on the table, questioning the entire room of high-ranking demons.
Hyberrian herself was astonished at Lanchi's audacity, his calm and composed demeanor as he sat there alone, reprimanding a group of high-level demons! He seemed to have truly embraced his role as the official envoy.
Once again, he had seamlessly integrated himself into the school.
"However, we can't solely blame you for this incident," Lanchi continued, his tone softening slightly. "The transformation technology from the Empire has indeed exceeded our expectations, and the Vampire Clan has also been rather dismissive of us."
Lanchi sighed, "During this visit to your esteemed school, I had the opportunity to experience life as a student, and I must say, it left a lasting impression on me. I will provide an honest account of my positive experience to His Majesty the Demon King, as field research is also part of my work here."
Upon hearing this, the professors in the room seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they had been strictly adhering to the rules and had not done anything to anger the envoy during his time at the academy.
Despite Lanchi's stern words, he had never hidden his high regard for the school, and his intentions were clear—he would ensure the school's protection.
"In any case, to prevent similar incidents and risks in the future, after I help you send off the Vampire Clan's messenger, I need your full cooperation in improving and optimizing the selection process. We must ensure that no one with malicious intentions from other races infiltrates our school again! Am I clear?" Lanchi asserted, his voice filled with confidence and determination.
The sense of responsibility and mission that emanated from him left no room for doubt in the minds of the other academic leaders. They couldn't question his dedication to the school, and that passion couldn't be feigned.
More importantly, he possessed the abilities to back up his words.
In the eyes of this envoy, the Vampire Clan's messenger was but a minor nuisance!
"Absolutely, rest assured," the vice-principal replied, assuring Lanchi of their commitment.
Having heard Lanchi's strategy for dealing with the Vampire Clan's messenger earlier in his office, the vice-principal was now convinced that this incredibly talented envoy of the Demon King was their savior—a wise and powerful demon!
