The next day, the legend of the Moteffei four sisters’ supergod feat spread like ripples cast by a stone into a lake, once again reaching every corner of the entire Demon Academy City.
Incredibly, this time they had defeated the Student Council President Arthur Roland, who was recognized within the academy as having reached the peak of Apprentice Level 10.
These four hadn’t even been in Demon Academy City for two months.
Without fully familiarizing themselves with the rules and environment, and without needing to pass any magic tests, they were directly granted a skip promotion to Apprentice Level 6.
This rare speed of advancement initially drew attention and skepticism from many students.
Even the Internal Affairs Department had complaints, believing it didn’t conform to established procedures and potentially undermined the principle of fairness within the academy.
But now everyone knows why they could skip grades, right?
However, this time the Moteffei four sisters had beaten a mage—that couldn’t be brushed aside like beating up Espers.
Moreover, the magic family behind President Arthur Roland was no small matter, so they would surely be held accountable.
So early in the morning, the Moteffei four sisters were taken to the Principal’s Office by several professors.
These professors were different from the tutors who had no say; each of them was at least a mage who had been knighted as a Baron.
Arriving at the Principal’s Office, three of the Moteffei sisters immediately became impatient, standing sloppily with lazy expressions, showing no regard for Dorothy at all.
Only Laige Lingxiang stood relatively straight, still as timid as ever.
“Do you know what family the person you beat up comes from? Do you think your mediocre Count father can protect you?”
Dorothy asked.
None of the Moteffei four sisters answered; in fact, three of them weren’t even listening, already looking around the Principal’s office to see what interesting things there were.
“Yesterday your father and I spoke on the phone. I was originally going to send you back home, but he begged me not to give up on you and to give you a chance.”
Dorothy opened by making it up.
“That’s a bit fake, Principal,” Laige Caicai said coldly.
“That father of ours is a crazy mage. This place is just a temporary lab to him. He let us come here just to test our combat abilities. To him, the experiment is already a success, and he can recall us anytime,” Laige Yulian explained with a smile.
“Is that so?”
Laige Lingxiang asked in shock.
“For fifteen-year-old kids, you’re a bit too smart,” Dorothy said.
“But unfortunately, as you said, I won’t let your father send people to cause trouble in my territory and then just walk away.”
“What do you want?”
Laige Caicai asked.
“You are still students of my academy. Tearing up your student ID doesn’t change that—we’re not that childish.”
Dorothy took out the sisters’ new student IDs from her bag and laid them neatly on the desk.
The three Moteffei sisters looked at these brand-new cards, a strange feeling welling up in their hearts.
That was because the covers of their student IDs were trimmed with gold.
Originally, a mage’s student ID had a black card cover, allowing free access to most facilities of the academy.
An Esper apprentice’s was a white card, with many places off-limits.
Now the three Moteffei sisters’ student IDs had become black-gold cards, indicating they could enter the higher-level Grand Magic Library.
‘We caused trouble and yet got upgraded? What’s the point of this?’
“Your current status is my personal disciples. The upgraded student IDs allow you to enter the academy’s higher-level teaching facilities, get a 50% discount at all shops in Academy City, and come to me if you have any questions about magic,” Dorothy said with a smile.
“Disciples? Don’t you need to ask for our opinion?”
Laige Caicai asked.
“Your father has already agreed,”
Dorothy replied.
Laige Caicai was silent, her expression speechless.
‘That’s something our father would do.’
“Can’t her permissions be upgraded too?”
Laige Fuling suddenly interjected, pointing at the fourth sister.
“Of course. This is your new student ID.”
Dorothy placed another new black-gold student ID on the desk.
“But hand over your old student ID for disposal.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Laige Lingxiang said eagerly, taking out her black card student ID.
“We haven’t said we accept yet,” Laige Caicai said angrily.
“This is a tremendous opportunity. Only a fool would refuse,” Dorothy said.
“You’ve listed the benefits. Now what’s the cost?”
Laige Yulian asked.
“I need each of you to join one of our academy’s three management organizations—the Student Council, the Internal Affairs Department, and the Field Operations Department—to train your real combat skills and on-the-spot reaction abilities, instead of hiding in a peaceful environment bullying students,” Dorothy explained calmly.
Hearing this, the four Moteffei sisters’ expressions instantly stiffened.
‘Two of these three organizations have grudges against us. If we join them, won’t we be walking into a trap?’
But this, while called punishment, was actually a kind of reward.
Joining the academy’s management departments was itself an elevation of privileges.
And at the same time…
[Entering Core Plot Crossroads. Please choose a career path.]
[Entering Core Plot Crossroads. Please choose a career path.]
[Entering Core Plot Crossroads. Please choose a career path.]
A system prompt appeared before the eyes of the three Moteffei sisters, indicating that this was an unavoidable main plot.
“I’ll go to the Field Operations Department. I heard we can go out and hunt [Demonized Humans]. I want to test the limits of my magic,” Laige Fuling suddenly raised her hand and volunteered, startling the other two sisters.
“I’ll go to the Internal Affairs Department. I’ll deal with [Superpower Criminals],” Laige Caicai immediately followed.
“You…”
Laige Yulian, a step slower, froze on the spot.
“Second sister, the Student Council job is the most comfortable and safest. It’s all yours,” Laige Caicai patted her shoulder, pretending to be upset.
“Second sister, I really envy you,” Laige Fuling also spoke sarcastically without changing expression.
Laige Yulian wanted to punch the expressions off those two.
“I…”
Laige Lingxiang was still hesitating.
“You join the Field Operations Department with Fuling. It’s the most dangerous department, but it can also train your timid personality,” Laige Caicai suddenly said seriously.
“I object…”
Laige Fuling wanted to refuse, but was muffled by Second sister Yulian covering her mouth.
“Oh,” Laige Lingxiang completely had no opinion, doing whatever the eldest said.
“Good idea. It’s settled. Everyone remember to report tomorrow. Don’t embarrass me. But if anyone tries to bully you, just use my name,” Dorothy stood up and smiled, wanting to shake hands with each of them.
