Chapter 76: Lanchi's Stand-in Messenger
Chapter 76: Lanchi's Stand-in Messenger
On one end of the long stone bridge leading to the Inferno Academy stood Baron Sanchez, recalling the Inspectorate's statement about the original headmistress being transferred elsewhere.
The devil who now commanded the respect of the vice-principal and the senior professors must be the temporary new headmistress. It was a mystery how she had gained the allegiance of so many high-ranking devil teachers.
"May I inquire as to your preferred title, Headmistress?" Baron Sanchez asked.
"You may refer to me as Lanfu," the Great Lover poet answered with a bright smile.
This was a pseudonym that Lanchi had come up with on a whim, but she quite liked it.
The Great Lover's voice was like sweet red wine, carrying an indefinable sense of provocation yet full of allure, as if it could melt the minds of all present. Even the demon guards of the escort battalion found themselves gradually losing focus, their gazes unconsciously drawn to her.
"Miss Lanfu, could you please refrain from using that voice? It's too dangerous," the vampire emissary, Sanchez, said with a shake of his head.
Although he could sense that this acting headmistress had a low rank, he dared not underestimate her. The female devil possessed an incredible talent for musical magic; her bewitching voice, capable of plucking at heartstrings, defied any simple classification as first-rank.
The Great Lover covered her mouth with her fingertips and laughed softly before turning to glance at the vice-principal.
The vice-principal nodded, understanding her unspoken meaning.
"Baron Sanchez, to facilitate your inspection, we have already instructed all students to gather in the teaching area and remain in their classrooms until your inspection is complete," the vice-principal stepped forward and said solemnly to the vampire emissary, Baron Sanchez. "Additionally, many teachers will begin patrolling the corridors. Any student found leaving the classroom without permission will be punished severely."
"Excellent," Baron Sanchez replied, his expression unchanged, though he was surprised at the school's cooperation.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Headmistress. Now, I shall have the inspectors from the Inspectorate take over the patrol duties from your teachers. I trust you have no objections?" Baron Sanchez inquired.
It was only natural that the Inspectorate handle the task of preventing students from sneaking out of class; the school's sincerity did not warrant handing over such a responsibility.
"Of course not," the Great Lover nodded gracefully.
...
Meanwhile, in a spacious office on the top floor of the school, unique high ceilings exuded a sense of history, and a chandelier cast a soft glow onto the deep brown wooden floor.
Across from a marble fireplace sat a comfortable single armchair and a spacious desk, upon which lay a magic book with a time-worn cover and slightly curled edges.
This book, a gift from the teacher of the Magic Department, contained knowledge of magic that could "handle magical beast hair."
Leaning back in the dark leather-padded chair, Lanchi relaxed in the principal's office.
The other devil students who had been brought here remained on the other side of the room, watched over by a group of fifth-rank devil teachers, not daring to make a sound.
"Great Lover, it's up to you now," Lanchi said, closing her eyes and communicating with the Great Lover, who was in tune with her heart.
"You certainly know how to give orders, but rest assured, I'll take care of it," the Great Lover replied, her joyful thoughts echoing in Lanchi's mind.
While she would never agree to do Lanchi's laundry or cook for her, she was far more enthusiastic about a task that suited her so perfectly.
"I hope you can give the vampire emissary a pleasant healing journey.
Lanchi offered a blessing in his heart.
After that, he no longer disturbed the Great Lover, as she would also get annoyed if he nagged her too much.
This was her area of expertise, and after sharing the plan with the Great Lover, he just needed to wait for her exceptional performance.
The Great Lover was a pure-blooded devil, and Lanchi had no worries about her being exposed as an imposter by the vampire emissary due to racial differences.
When creating the card, Talia had taken the opportunity to mix in some of her blood to break the seal of the ['Compassionate Verse'] without Lanchi noticing.
Talia thought that Lanchi was unaware, but he actually knew—there was an extremely complex demonic sealing technique on the ['Compassionate Verse'].
This ancient relic was as if it had originally been left by a great demon, and through the passage of time and the guidance of fate, it was destined to find its way to Talia, who alone could unlock it.
As a result, the Great Lover, who eventually gained a portion of Talia's blood, also possessed an extremely noble demonic bloodline, just like Talia.
Even the vice-principal had been surprised for a moment when he first saw the Great Lover, wondering how Lanchi had managed to form a summoning contract with a devil of such a high caliber.
However, given that it was this special envoy, even the vice-principal was not that surprising.
Lanchi sat up and flipped through the school's documents, making notes from time to time.
After a while, he looked up as if he had just remembered something, gazing towards the spacious front hall of the principal's office.
"Students, just wait a little longer, and you'll be able to return to school."
Lanchi spoke gently to the group of students who were standing as if they were undergoing military training, their unease evident.
He was very confident that the other four challengers were among this group, although he didn't know exactly who they were.
Because he had previously inspected every classroom with a group of teachers, and the exploration rate was soaring.
And if he entered a classroom and found that the exploration rate on the Shadow World information panel remained unchanged at the moment he stepped in.
Then there were only two possibilities—
Either this classroom had already been challenged.
Or a challenger had already entered this classroom and was currently undertaking the challenge!
Therefore, as long as all the students from these classrooms were brought to the principal's office, the vampire envoy would naturally be unable to find the human challenger disguised as a devil in an ordinary classroom.
However, none of the students in the principal's office dared to respond to Lanchi.
This was the first time these students had come to the principal's office, and they were facing the school principal at such close quarters.
"Relax, if this kind of situation happens again in the future, I won't make you wait here in the principal's office feeling bored."
Lanchi mainly felt that he should consider the emotions of the other four challengers.
As he spoke, he also turned to look at the teachers standing by,
"What do you think about building a swimming pool in the principal's office? This space is so spacious, it's a waste to leave it empty. Why don't we renovate it and let the students hold pool parties here in the future?"
The devil teachers standing by like lackeys broke into a sweat, unsure if the principal was being serious or joking, and they dared not respond.
Even if he didn't complain about anything else, taking a step back, which crazy student would dare to risk their life and come to the principal's office to swim?!
Lanchi couldn't help but smile wryly and continued perusing the documents in front of him.
On the Shadow World information interface, the exploration rate had already changed due to his inspection of the entire school, becoming [Mission Objective 1: Academy Exploration Rate exceeds 60%, current progress 1200%].
Over a thousand one hundred of that was from his visits as the principal.
Lanchi couldn't help but feel satisfied, expecting a good rating and rewards for this shadow world mission.
