“Here.”
When Adrian handed Michelle the mana supplement, she blinked her eyes several times.
As she accepted it, she added a few words.
“You didn’t attach any special conditions for me.”
“Conditions?”
“For the others, you probably said something like, ‘This is only for you. Keep it an absolute secret.’ Something along those lines.”
Adrian nodded in agreement.
“That’s the reason. You’re perceptive.”
“It’s harder not to notice when those who looked like corpses suddenly seem superhuman.”
Michelle was indeed perceptive.
Being both perceptive and proud, telling her an obvious lie would only backfire.
The best way to deal with her was to be honest.
“Still, I’m glad. I would have been angry if you had lied to me too.”
“You always seem angry, though.”
“Is that so? Perhaps you’re right.”
With those words, she promptly gulped down the mana supplement.
It seemed like an unspoken agreement to keep the secret.
However, even the talented Michelle couldn’t overcome fatigue.
During that simple action, Michelle wobbled slightly.
The blue liquid that escaped her lips fell directly onto her chest area.
“Ugh.”
The girl immediately frowned.
She must have been a little angry at herself for making such a blunder.
That was Michelle’s nature, after all.
The outfit Michelle wore today was a black skirt and a white shirt – nothing more.
It was a long-standing tradition for Rahel Academy students to wear the academy’s uniform, but since no one paid attention to the failing class students’ attire, it was possible to wear such clothes.
Phew.
Michelle let out a deep sigh.
If this dense mana-infused liquid spilled onto her white shirt, would it be removable? Simply wiping it would not suffice.
“I don’t want to wear the uniform, though.”
The girl muttered.
Adrian lightly inquired, “You prefer the shirt?”
“Yes. The uniform top feels like it’s floating when I use telekinesis.”
“Do you have a spare?”
“It’s at my residence. There’s no choice.”
Implying that immediately washing or changing clothes was impossible, she turned to leave, but Adrian stopped her.
“Uh, what?”
“You look unsightly.”
Suddenly grabbed by the shoulder, Michelle was taken aback.
But well, it was ultimately for her own good and the failing class students’.
If Michelle remained in that state, her mood would be soured for the entire day.
And if the core pillar of the failing class was in a foul mood, it would undoubtedly lead to significant losses.
“If you walk around looking like that.”
Adrian began unbuttoning Michelle’s shirt.
“Won’t your professor, me, have to hear about it?”
“Eh, uh, um, wait a moment.”
Michelle’s previously lithe body instantly stiffened.
Adrian took out the cleanest shirt from the closet in his private room.
Although the size might be a bit large, it would be better than wearing a soiled shirt.
“Eh… uh, uhh? Wh, wh, wh, what…!”
As the shirt was removed, Michelle’s bare skin was exposed.
He had assumed she was wearing something underneath, but she wasn’t.
The supple chest and white undergarments that barely supported it, hidden beneath the shirt, were now on full display.
Michelle hurriedly crossed her arms to cover herself.
“Wh, wh, wh, what are you doing? Right now… you’re just… forcefully…”
Flap!
The shirt he had carelessly tossed landed on Michelle’s face like a tablecloth.
She immediately grabbed and removed it.
“If you clutch it like that, the shirt will wrinkle.”
“Th, that’s not the main issue here. What are you doing right now?”
“Do I have to dress you myself?”
“Eh, eh?”
After a momentary stunned silence, Michelle hurriedly began putting on the shirt.
“That’s… that’s… absolutely not allowed. It’s absolutely unacceptable. Did you really need to ask that? Are you an idiot? How can you be a professor?”
However, no matter how frantically she tried to put on the shirt, the self-proclaimed genius couldn’t even properly button the first button.
Eventually, with a sigh, Adrian grabbed her collar.
“Well, but I do know how to button it.”
Pushing her hands away, he began buttoning it for her.
His hands inevitably brushed against her chest area a few times.
“Ah… re, really. Ahhh…”
Michelle trembled uncontrollably.
Her face was so flushed, it looked like it might explode.
Due to her influence, objects in the room even began floating slightly.
Adrian hurried to button it as quickly as possible.
“You can leave now.”
As he attempted to lie down on the bed again, Michelle didn’t budge.
Her face was even redder than before.
“Se… sexual harassment. This is sexual harassment against me.”
“Leave.”
“No, it’s sexual assault. Sexual assault.”
“Leave.”
“It’s sexual violence! Sexual violence!!! Rape!!!”
Ah.
In the end, Adrian had to physically push her out.
The stammering Michelle was forcefully shoved out of the room.
“I’ll… make you take responsibility. I’m the next head of the Meinens family. You’ll have to take responsibility for this, for the rest of your life. Did you understand? Don’t think you can use being ill as an excuse…”
Thud!
He shut the door.
It was a moment when he had too much to think about.
He couldn’t afford to indulge her tantrum.
▶Michelle is paying more attention to you.
Yes, pay as much attention as you want, just please finish your studies.
But then, a few more lines appeared.
▶A three-day banquet will be held in the Demon Realm.
▶It’s a celebration for Christine’s inauguration.
‘Essentially, I have no choice but to attend.’
Why would they inform him of a branch point? It must be to prevent him from heading toward a bad ending by failing to resolve some issue.
Creak!
Without even a knock, the door to the private room opened.
He thought it might be Michelle, but it was Violet.
“Adrian~ How are you feeling? By the way, when do you want to be discharged? I came to ask about that~”
“For the discharge…”
The banquet in the Demon Realm was three days.
She did say three days.
“I’ll do it in three days.”
In a secluded area of the academy,
Pertel gently scratched her ear with her nail.
A drop of blood quickly formed, and soon a voice emanated from it.
“Hey! Did you arrive safely?”
It was the voice of her sister, Artel, who was also Christine’s secretary.
“Yes. I’ve… arrived.”
“And were you properly assigned to the class?”
She shook her head.
“No. The intermediate class.”
“Ah… you idiot! You were supposed to go to the failing class! Why can’t you ever listen?”
“It’s difficult. I tried my best to appear weak. But still, I couldn’t get into the failing class.”
“Well… I suppose it’s not that easy to get into the place where the rejects gather.”
“Yes.”
“Christine is extremely busy preparing for the banquet right now. Jekkiel definitely won’t come. Definitely not. He’ll certainly remain in the human realm. So your role is extremely important! Don’t make any mistakes!”
“Yes.”
With a click, Artel’s voice disappeared.
Here, her name was Tia.
Here, her name was Tia.
Don’t make mistakes.
Absolutely don’t make mistakes.
Pertel repeated such phrases countless times.
“Tia, you were here! What are you doing?”
Someone spoke to her.
A freckled blonde girl.
What was her name again… She kept approaching, but Pertel couldn’t remember.
Scarlet.
That seemed to be her name.
“Nothing, really.”
“We should go eat. Come with me!”
“Eat?”
Pertel tilted her head in confusion.
Scarlet also tilted her head.
“Of course we have to eat? If we don’t, it’ll be big trouble.”
“Big trouble. Yes, big trouble.”
Her sister’s words about blending in as an academy student seamlessly echoed in her mind.
So Pertel silently followed Scarlet.
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, there were quite a number of students present.
Until then, Pertel had not felt any particular impression.
“I’m going to die from exhaustion~”
“Ah~ I might just collapse~”
A few students muttered such words.
While they spoke of exhaustion, their faces and bodies were actually brimming with energy.
The colors of their badges differed from Scarlet and Pertel’s.
And one more thing.
As soon as Scarlet saw those students, her expression soured.
“Why have they been acting up so much lately? Don’t they know their place?”
Pertel tilted her head.
Scarlet explained further.
“Ah, you wouldn’t know, Tia. Their skills are complete trash. But because this time, their professor is active, they have to use the same cafeteria as us now. It’s so annoying.”
“Same cafeteria, annoying?”
“Of course it’s annoying. Why should we have to eat with those kinds of people? Even worse, all the training grounds in the academy will be locked until their instructor is discharged. They’ve caused such an incredible nuisance.”
“Scarlet, angry?”
“Yes. I really want to kill them.”
Suddenly, Pertel’s eyes sparkled.
“Scarlet, Scarlet.”
“Yes?”
“Can kill? If something annoying at the academy, can kill as much as want?”
Why was she saying this? Scarlet looked slightly uncomfortable.
“Ah… no, of course we can’t actually kill anyone. It’s just a figure of speech.”
“Ah. Yes. I see. Really can’t.”
She’s a bit strange.
Did I get too friendly with her? A few subtle expressions crossed Scarlet’s face.
Bang!
At that moment, a commotion erupted from the front area.
Pertel peeked over to observe it.
A massive boy.
A girl wearing an eye patch, now knocked to the ground.
Scarlet openly mocked them.
“Of course she’d bump into Kyle. No luck at all.”
“Kyle?”
“Yes. He’s famous for his terrible personality. But I guess it’s better this way.”
What was terrible? What was better? While Pertel wanted to ask, she decided to observe the situation silently for now.
Kyle grabbed Charlotte’s hair and forcefully pulled her up.
“You should be grateful we’re even letting you use the cafeteria, yet you’re taking your sweet time grabbing food like that? What’s the deal, huh?”
“The fourth condition… The fourth condition.”
“What are you babbling about, you bitch…”
Kyle clenched his fist.
“But never back down in a crucial situation.”
At that moment, Charlotte’s fist, enveloped in a flame magic circle, struck Kyle’s jaw with tremendous force.
Boom!
With an explosive sound, Kyle collapsed lifelessly.
Like a falling leaf.
Powerlessly.
Plop.
The eyes of the students in the cafeteria widened in shock, regardless of their class.
“She’s… from the failing class… isn’t she?”
“Kyle was knocked out…? Is that even possible?”
The once silent cafeteria instantly filled with murmurs from the students.
A failing class student knocking out an intermediate class student – considering the difference in skill levels, it should have been absolutely impossible.
“Ah… what do I say to Professor Adrian now…”
“Hey, hey! Charlotte!”
“You have to eat and then leave! If you leave us, you can’t come back today!”
Charlotte hurriedly left, with a few other failing class students following behind her.
Simultaneously, Pertel’s eyes began to shine.
Her ears perked up.
Adrian is Jekkiel.
Jekkiel must be killed.
Anyone who follows must also be killed.
Adrian is Jekkiel.
Jekkiel must be killed.
Anyone who follows must also be killed…
It was at that moment that Pertel firmly committed the name Charlotte to memory.

Uy
Are the Vampire Queen and her subordinates so incompetent that they’d send a retard on an infiltration & assassination mission? I’m not using it as a derogatory term, she literally is acting like a retard.
It’s completely nonsensical and from where I’m standing, it just looks like the author’s poor attempt at creating conflict.
I think they were on a mission without her knowledge? And also, those 2 other vampires who died to Jekkiel were idiots (mc said something about them being incompetent, one rushed in and died, and the other spilled information), which says a lot about the vampire queen; she can’t control her subordinates
She certainly cannot control them
