Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1628

By the time the Zaprath School of Demon Arts faculty arrived, they happened to witness Shannon's lightning from the thunder talisman, which cleaved the evil demon into a charred, unconscious heap on the ground.

At the same time, Cornelius dragged along another evil demon, so beaten that its original form was unrecognizable.

The three evil demons were captured and handed over to the faculty for final disposal by the Demon Control Agency.

The demon instructors hadn't even had the chance to act before the matter was completely resolved. While they felt proud, criticism was still necessary.

Young demons leaving the campus to hunt evil demons without permission was a serious violation. If anything had gone wrong, it would have been a huge issue.

"You guys! How—"

Just as the demon faculty was about to start their reprimand, a sudden cheer erupted from the direction of the demon younglings.

"Yay, we won! Aren't we amazing?"

"We defeated a bad demon!"

"We saved our brothers!"

"Shannon has also defeated one! She's the best!"

"And she has two tails! How amazing is she?"

The demon younglings didn't even give the faculty a chance to reprimand them. Though each of them looked a bit disheveled, they still excitedly and happily circled around Shannon.

Kai, who had arrived midway and wasn't clear on what exactly had happened, saw the younglings circling Shannon and followed along, spinning in the circle with them.

As for why they only circled her and not Cornelius, that was obvious—she was one of their own from the demon elementary class, while Cornelius was a stranger from the west wing.

If before, the demon younglings had only accepted Shannon as their underling, then now, they had genuinely and quietly recognized her as their leader after she led them to rescue the kidnapped younglings and demonstrated her strength.

Therefore, the school chose to erase Shannon's contributions in this matter, and even the parents of the kidnapped demon younglings were not particularly mentioned.

Such things were routine at the school—regardless of the achievements, a half-demon would always be disregarded and discredited.

When Xylon spoke, Reuben, who had seemed calm and collected just moments ago, now appeared slightly less at ease.

Though there was no obvious change in his expression, an inexplicable sense of displeasure emanated from him. Or rather, it could be said that he was very displeased.

However, he kept his emotions under control and didn't lash out. Instead, he calmly said, "Does she not have any objections to the school's stance?"

Reuben could certainly help her argue for the commendation the school owed her, but… If she didn't care to fight for it or felt indifferent about her position, he wouldn't go out of his way to defend her.

Xylon softened his gaze.
