"Awooo!!!!"
After the initial dead silence, a burst of excited shouts quickly erupted among the demon students,
"Special Demon Squad!! Scarlett Jennings made it into the Special Demon Squad!!!"
"Awooo oh!"
Some half-demon pups from the Wolfkin even lay down on the spot, striking a posture akin to howling at the moon.
Other demons found it unbelievable and had to check three times before confirming that Scarlett Jennings had not just successfully leveled up.
She damn well skipped a level!
...
The news of Scarlett Jennings skipping a level to enter the Special Demon Squad blew through every corner of the Academy of Mystique East District like a whirlwind.
The pups from the three Young Demon classes were the most excited.
They couldn’t care less that the bell had rung for class; each revealed their demon states and howled non-stop, all the while loudly proclaiming,
"Scarlett is the best! No doubt she’s our leader!"
The half-demon students in various grades quickly whipped out their phones.
They had a special half-demon group chat.
At this moment, the chat was blowing up.
[Scarlett Jennings, the Light of Half-Demons]
[The Light of Half-Demons]
Meanwhile, over in the Demon Level Advanced Class.
Before the announcement was even made, most of the half-demon students in the Advanced Class had already set themselves up at the entrance.
Unlike those who didn’t believe Scarlett Jennings could keep skipping grades, the advanced class students had already confirmed Scarlett’s current strength earlier.
They were certain she would pass her advancement test and succeed in moving up to the Advanced Class today.
But knowing is one thing; acknowledging it is another.
They had no intention of letting Scarlett Jennings breeze in so easily.
A little intimidation before joining a new class is always necessary.
Among these demon students was the earlier mentioned Luke Hearne.
He was considered a promising young talent in the Hearne Lineage, at least until recently.
Ever since Scarlett Jennings appeared as a dark horse, he had heard her name countless times within the clan.
Even his father urged him to find an opportunity to spar with Scarlett Jennings.
Luke Hearne was annoyed.
So today, he rarely joined these demon students, planning to give Scarlett Jennings a collective intimidation show.
Yet, they waited for the announcement but not Scarlett Jennings; instead, another piece of news arrived.
Scarlett Jennings went to the Special Demon Squad...
She actually skipped the Advanced Class straight to the Special Demon Squad! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
On what grounds did she skip their class?
Does this mean she’s looking down on the Advanced Class?!
Meanwhile, Scarlett Jennings, who was the topic of everyone’s conversation, was with Dashiell and Ashton Todd, circling around the academy’s perimeter.
"The academy’s barrier didn’t have a gap to squeeze through; we can only enter through the front gate."
Dashiell said this with a tone of regret in his voice.
He preferred a shortcut.
Ashton Todd, standing by confidently, said, "I personally supervised the barrier’s repair, no way you could find a gap, you underestimate me."
He added, "As long as I get paid for a job, I’ve never dropped the ball!"
He sure lived up to the money he’d taken.
Dashiell looked at Scarlett Jennings in disbelief, "Did you actually pay him?!"
"Mystical Demon cooperation project," Scarlett said. "The Mystic Regulation Office footed the bill."
Initially, the barrier repair was just a proposal for amendments.
Under normal procedures, amendment orders are sent to the academy, which follows the orders for amendments; Scarlett Jennings and even Ashton Todd wouldn’t have to get involved.
Who would have thought there actually were Evil Demons bold enough to sneak into the academy to abduct demon whelps?
Lacking diligence was one thing, but not wanting to be outdone by the Taoism Academy was another that they couldn’t tolerate.
Thus, the academy’s dean was finally brought out by the Demon Masters, fortifying the entire barrier overnight, and under Ashton Todd’s encouragement, improving the academy’s barrier.
Ashton Todd’s visit turned out quite fruitful.
Not only did he make money, but he also learned a lot.
The barrier personally set by the academy’s dean, aside from the critical demonic power, had a logic entirely different from those of the Mystical Sect, inspiring Ashton Todd with many new ideas.
This was exactly why Scarlett Jennings brought him over.
The Demon Clan’s integration into Spiritual Affairs was official, and the connections between Mystics and Demons would only grow deeper; future breakthroughs couldn’t rely solely on the Mystical Sect.
This point was what Scarlett Jennings had felt most strongly about for the past three months.
After confirming the barrier was intact, Ashton Todd prepared to return to Sea City.
"Stella and the others really miss you, if things aren’t going well with the Demon Clan here, you can..."
The words "Return to Sea City" turned in his throat and changed instead,
"Just call us over!"
Whenever she needed, they were ready to come bolster her!
They all knew she had things she wanted to accomplish in the Capital Metropolitan and someone she was waiting for.
She wouldn’t go back before meeting that person.
But that didn’t matter; if she didn’t return, they would come.
Just like this time.
Scarlett Jennings looked at him and nodded seriously,
"I will."
After watching Ashton Todd leave, Dashiell checked the time, "Is it about time for you to report to the Special Demon Squad? Are they going to give you an initiation scare there?"
Scarlett Jennings responded with an affirmative sound, her voice confident,
"They definitely will."
