It had been a while since Benjamin noticed his body shared a strange affinity with Shannon. He knew it was the influence of the Soul, but somehow, he wasn't averse to this feeling.
Shannon was straightforward, stating, "Based on the situations with Onyx and Fiona, the spread of putrefied supernatural energy typically occurs when there's a fluctuation in emotions, especially during fights.
"The more supernatural power used, the deeper the putrefaction's influence becomes. To make the students in the entire demonic school reveal their supernatural power, we can directly hold a battle selection competition."
It was similar to the internal selection held before the college tournament at Seastone School of Mystic Arts.
"The annual college tournament previously organized by Seastone included Team Demon from Zaprath School. For the upcoming mystical tournament, the DCA can also have their representatives.
"This year happens to coincide with the mystical tournament, so holding an internal selection competition ahead of time shouldn't raise too many suspicions."
In reality, Shannon already knew Reuben had made a last-minute decision to form Team Demon during the college tournament.
The team members, except for Cornelius, were randomly drawn, so they didn't truly represent the demon clan's actual strength.
The mystical tournament, however, was different from the college tournament. The former was aimed at mystic masters from the entire mystic arts community, and the demon clans would naturally participate as well.
In this case, an internal selection was crucial. As long as there was a reasonable occasion to act, Shannon could draw out all the latent supernatural power from them.
Her idea elicited a surprised look from Reuben, who then turned to Benjamin. "I have no opinions on this. The decision is entirely in Sire's hands."
Benjamin naturally had no objections.
So, the matter was settled, and Dorian, along with the demon instructors who had just undergone a round of reform, could hardly raise any objections to the internal selection process.
With a command from Benjamin, the entire demonic school immediately began preparations.
During that, Shannon also didn't forget to check in on Fiona, who had returned.
Shannon simply said, "Her putrefied supernatural energy has already been purified by my colleague, so there's no need to worry about it reoccurring."
She paused briefly, then added, "However, her crazed state was actually caused by overexerting her supernatural power, so she'll need time to recover her supernatural energy. She can't rush it."
Fiona listened to Shannon's words and nodded.
Shannon was quite a well-known figure at the demonic school. Although Fiona had only heard of her before, she found herself admiring her after this interaction, alongside her favorite celebrity, Maxwell Brooks.
Fiona was a pure-blood demon, but she wasn't one of those who discriminated against half-demons. To her, what mattered was the individual's charm, not their species.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and added, "By the way, I don't know how I got affected, but I think you guys should look into Max's rival, Verus Marquee.
"He's actually Max's peer and rival. He's a demon, though I'm not sure exactly what kind. A lot of the merchandise I bought was secretly sourced from him."
