Only by truly hitting the core of the Zaprath School of Demon Arts could she make them take her demands seriously. And as the superior authority to the school, the Demon Control Agency was exactly that core.
Although the agency did not guarantee that it would approve her reform, it was sufficient to show her stance to the school; she simply wasn't a half-demon student that they could treat with indifference.
Frankly, Reuben was upset that she didn't come to him for help despite suffering injustice. However, he was delighted to see she had already figured out how to achieve what she wanted.
The Wynthorpe family's young demon was meant to have the ability to resolve their own troubles.
"Do as you said then," said Reuben.
His sudden change in attitude caught Shannon off guard. "Are you saying I can propose that?"
He nodded. "Submit a comprehensive and detailed reform proposal to me in three days. Once you do, I'll approve it."
Wasn't that much more interesting than him unilaterally standing up for her? Moreover, the atmosphere in the academy needed a change.
Demons had always been accustomed to freedom and indulgence. Even within the Demon Control Agency, few demons were willing to take responsibility for such procedural matters.
Since Shannon was willing to take action, he would let her handle it. As long as she succeeded, he would ensure she received what she deserved.
According to the old practice of the academy, demons who made significant contributions to the school would not only be awarded extra credits but also be granted a recommended spot for admission.
When the academy was first established, half-demons were not eligible to attend.
It wasn't until a demon who, after saving a demon youngling nearly killed by a rampaging demon, was rewarded with corresponding credits by the academy, along with a recommended spot for admission, that things changed.
At that time, he gave this spot to a half-demon.
Since then, the school had had its first half-demon student. After that, half-demons were allowed to attend just like any other demon. Now, she wanted to give this spot to Kai.
