Chapter 1 The Stone Bridge Before Purgatory Academy

Baron Sanchez remembered that, according to the Inspectorate, the original headmaster should have already been transferred.

This new demon who could command the vice-principal and a group of senior professors must be the temporary headmaster.

To be able to convince so many high-level demons of the academy, one wondered where they came from.

"How should I address you, Headmaster?" Baron Sanchez asked.

"You may call me Lanfu," the Great Poet of Love replied with a bright smile.

This was a pseudonym that Lan Qi had come up with on the spur of the moment.

But she didn't dislike it herself.

The Great Poet of Love's voice was like sweet red wine, with an inexplicable sense of provocation yet full of temptation, as if it could melt the minds of everyone present. Even the demons of the guard corps gradually lost their minds and unconsciously focused their eyes on her.

"Miss Lanfu, could you please restrain your voice a little? It is too dangerous," the Blood Clan envoy, Sanchez, said, shaking his head.

Although he could sense that this acting headmaster was of a low rank.

But Sanchez didn't dare to underestimate her at all.

This female demon possessed a terrifying talent for musical magic. Just the enchanting sound that could easily pluck at heartstrings was not something that could be generalized by the first order.

The Great Poet of Love chuckled and covered her mouth with her fingertips, then glanced back at the vice-principal.

The vice-principal nodded, naturally understanding her meaning.

"Lord Baron Sanchez, in order to cooperate with your inspection, we have already requested all students to gather in the teaching area in advance, and they must not leave the classroom until your inspection is over. In addition, a large number of teachers will begin patrolling the corridors. Any student found leaving the classroom without permission will be killed without exception," the vice-principal behind the Great Poet of Love stepped forward and said solemnly to the Blood Clan special envoy, Baron Sanchez.

"Very good."

Baron Sanchez's expression did not change, but he did not expect the school to cooperate with his work so well.

"Thank you for the headmaster's cooperation. Then, I will have the members of the Inspectorate take over the patrol work from your school's teachers. Do you have any objections?"

Baron Sanchez asked.

Preventing students from sneaking out of the classroom naturally had to be done by the Inspectorate. They couldn't give the school an opportunity to pull a fast one just because they were sincere.

"Of course not."

The Great Poet of Love nodded gracefully.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In a spacious office on the top floor of the school, the unique high ceiling was full of history, and the chandelier was emitting a soft light, reflecting on the dark brown wooden floor.

Opposite the marble fireplace, a comfortable armchair and a wide desk were placed, with a magic book with a cover weathered by time and slightly upturned edges on the desk.

This was a book about "magic for dealing with monster fur" that the magic teachers had brought to him.

Lan Qi was in the headmaster's office, leisurely leaning on the dark leather chair cushion.

The other demon students who had been brought here were all staying obediently on the other side of the headmaster's office, guarded by a group of fifth-order demon teachers, and none of them dared to say a word.

"Great Poet of Love, I'm counting on you next."

Lan Qi closed his eyes and focused, communicating with the Great Poet of Love, who was connected to his heart.

"You really know how to boss me around, but rest assured, leave it to me," the Great Poet of Love's joyful thoughts conveyed back to Lan Qi's mind.

Although it was absolutely impossible for Lan Qi to ask her to do laundry and cook, she was more enthusiastic than Lan Qi about this kind of errand that was so much to her liking.

"I hope you can bring the Blood Clan envoy a good healing journey," Lan Qi blessed in his heart.

Then he stopped disturbing the Great Poet of Love.

She would become impatient if he nagged her too much.

For this kind of professional matter, after telling the Great Poet of Love the plan, he only needed to wait for her to perform beyond expectations.

The Great Poet of Love was a pure-blooded demon, and she was acting as his stand-in, so he was not worried that the Blood Clan envoy would see through the race issue at all.

When Talia was making the card, she had taken advantage of Lan Qi's inattention and mixed a little blood into it to break the seal in order to unseal [Ballad of Mercy].

Talia thought that Lan Qi was unaware, but Lan Qi actually knew very well - [Ballad of Mercy] had extremely complex demon sealing techniques on it.

This ancient relic, as if it had originally been left by a great demon and was destined to find Talia through the passage of time and the guidance of fate, could only be opened by Talia.

This resulted in the Great Poet of Love, who eventually obtained a portion of Talia's blood, possessing an incomparably noble demon bloodline, just like Talia.

Even the vice-principal was a little surprised when he saw the Great Poet of Love, that Lan Qi could form a summoning contract with a demon of this level.

But thinking about it, since this was a special envoy, the vice-principal didn't find it strange at all.

Lan Qi sat up straight and looked through the school's official documents, occasionally making annotations on them.

After a while, he seemed to remember something and looked up at the wide front hall of the headmaster's office.

"Classmates, wait a little longer, and you can all go back to school."

Lan Qi said gently, looking at the group of students who were standing uneasily as if they were in military training.

He was very sure that the other four challengers were in this group of students, although he didn't know exactly which four they were.

Because he had previously led a group of teachers to inspect the classrooms one by one, and the exploration progress was increasing rapidly.

And if he entered a classroom and found that the exploration progress on the Shadow World information panel did not change at the moment he stepped in.

Then there were only two possibilities -

Either this classroom had already been challenged.

Or this classroom had already been entered by a challenger and was being challenged!

So as long as all the students in this kind of classroom were caught and brought to the headmaster's office, the Blood Clan special envoy would naturally not be able to find the human challengers disguised as demons in ordinary classrooms.

However, no student in the headmaster's office dared to respond to Lan Qi.

This was the first time these students had come to the headmaster's office, and they were facing the school's headmaster at such a close distance.

"Relax, relax. If this kind of situation happens again in the future, I won't let you be so bored in the headmaster's office."

Lan Qi mainly felt that he should take into account the emotions of the other four challengers.

While saying this, he also looked at the teachers waiting beside him, "What do you think about building a swimming pool in the headmaster's office? This space is so spacious, it's a waste to leave it empty. Why not renovate it so that students can have pool parties in the future."

The demon teacher next to him stood like a flunky, with sweat on his forehead, unable to tell whether the headmaster was serious or joking, and didn't dare to respond.

Even if he didn't complain about anything else, even if he took a step back, what crazy student wouldn't want to die and dare to run to the headmaster's office to swim?!

Lan Qi then smiled helplessly and continued to approve the documents in front of him.

On the Shadow World information interface, the exploration progress had already become [Mission Objective 1: Academy exploration progress exceeds 60%, current progress 1200%] due to his school-wide inspection.

More than eleven hundred of them were obtained when he visited as the headmaster.

Lan Qi couldn't help but feel satisfied. The score and rewards for this Shadow World should be pretty good.
