On the giant screen in Jera Memorial Square late at night, waves of fluctuating light emanated, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, like a lonely lighthouse silently guiding the way in the darkness.
On the stone steps directly facing the outdoor screen.
Talia, wearing a comfortable white dress, looked like a splash of brightness in the deep night. She quietly walked to the edge of the square.
The view here was unobstructed, allowing a full view of the entire screen.
She gently lifted the back of her dress and sat down on the textured stone steps of the square, looking towards the outdoor screen.
Then she gradually furrowed her brow.
— On the screen.
It was a classic and somber conference room, with towering demonic murals on the ceiling, black stone walls adorned with purple glowing magical rune statues. Every detail showcased the status of the demons who could enter this conference room.
Lanqi sat in the main seat at the front, with a teacup placed before him. He spoke while occasionally tapping the table lightly.
In the other seats seemed to be demons of no small importance in this Inferno Corridor Academy.
Each was dressed impressively, appearing even more magnificent and solemn under the light of the conference room chandelier.
At this moment, they were all attentively watching Lanqi, occasionally answering his incisive questions, respectful in attitude, not daring to contradict.
Lanqi was no longer wearing his school uniform jacket. He had changed into a vintage suit, and the nameplate standing in front of him clearly displayed several demonic characters —
Acting Principal.
...
In the square of Icerite Academy, Talia frowned deeply, then rubbed her eyes and looked at the screen again.
It was still the same.
Talia: "???"
She pondered, hadn't she only been away for a few hours?
How did this guy go from being a student to becoming the principal?!
...
In the top-floor conference room of Inferno Corridor Academy.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit tense, but full of respect and expectation.
All the school leaders were seated together in an orderly manner, quietly listening to Lanqi's opinions.
Lanqi sat in the main seat, took a sip of tea, then put it back on the table. He began to look around and deliver his speech.
He first praised the achievements of Inferno Corridor Academy in terms of teaching quality and campus culture construction. At the same time, he reminded the school leaders of the importance and sense of responsibility in educational work.
Then Lanqi put forward several ideas about the education reform of demon academies, including promoting educational equity, improving teaching quality, and emphasizing the construction of teaching staff.
He emphasized that education is the foundation of the demon world, the cradle of future pillars of the demon society, and that every educator present bears the important responsibility of nurturing new stars of the demon world.

"I hope that we can work together to make education fair, high-quality, and with modern characteristics. We should also value and enhance teachers' professional qualities, while paying attention to the all-round development of every student, stimulating their potential..."
Just as Lanqi was guiding the school's future development strategy, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
It was the Vice Principal who walked in. He closed the conference room door and returned to his seat beside Lanqi, saying to Lanqi:
"Special Envoy, sir, the new academy rules have been promulgated and implemented according to your requirements. Additionally, the Blood Clan envoy and the inspector from the Demon World Inspection Department have arrived in Inferno City and are expected to reach the academy within an hour."
"Good," Lanqi nodded.
When Professor Mogut brought him to the conference room earlier, he had already met this Vice Principal.
It can only be said that due to Professor Mogut's excessive trust in him, a lot of trouble was saved.
And when Professor Mogut had previously entered the Vice Principal's office alone to request a meeting, he seemed to have described Lanqi's performance in the painting classroom to the Vice Principal.
So much so that after the Vice Principal invited Lanqi into the office, he became extremely respectful to Lanqi just upon seeing Lanqi's black jade seal.
Subsequently, the academy held consecutive emergency high-level meetings, and the Vice Principal personally went to implement the requirements that Lanqi said were "necessary to deal with the Blood Clan envoy."
"Now that the Vice Principal has returned, let's first discuss the most pressing issue of the Blood Clan," Lanqi looked at the Vice Principal, then turned to the other senior leaders and asked:
"Actually, I don't think the problem this time lies with the Blood Clan, but rather you need to reflect on your own issues. The Demon King can protect you once, but what if there's a next time? Can he protect you every time?"
For a long while, no one in the conference room dared to respond.
They all knew that this esteemed confidant of the Demon King was here to clean up their mess. Being reprimanded was normal, and his wording was already very polite.
Huberrian stood behind Lanqi, like his secretary. She now felt a mix of emotions, not knowing why things had suddenly turned out this way, and could only try hard to maintain her expression without change.
The Lanqi before her eyes was leaning against the chair, his hand on the table, questioning all the school leaders in the conference room.
Huberrian didn't know how Lanqi had the courage to sit here alone so calmly and confidently, reprimanding a group of high-level demons!
He seemed to have truly taken on the role of a genuine special envoy.
Once again, perfectly integrating into the school.
"However, this incident can't be entirely blamed on you. The empire's transformation technology indeed exceeded our expectations. Moreover, the Blood Clan is taking us too lightly," Lanqi sighed, his tone softening slightly.
"During this inspection visit to your esteemed school, I briefly experienced life as a student, which was quite memorable overall. I will faithfully report the positive experiences I've had to the Demon King, as research and investigation are also part of my work content this time."
As Lanqi finished speaking, all the professors seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they had been strictly following the rules all this time, not doing anything unfair that might anger the special envoy.
Moreover, although this special envoy's words were stern, he had never hidden his approval of this school from beginning to end. His meaning was very clear — he would definitely protect the school.
"In any case, to prevent such accidents and hidden dangers from happening again in the future, after I help you safely send off this Blood Clan envoy, you'll need to cooperate with my work next, actively rectify, optimize the selection mechanism, and eliminate the possibility of other races with ulterior motives infiltrating our school! Understood?"
Lanqi's words were forceful and full of confidence.
Just that sense of responsibility and mission that was about to overflow made it impossible for other academy leaders to doubt his feelings for this school. Only this passion could not be fake.
And more importantly, he had the ability to convince them.
In the eyes of this special envoy, a mere Blood Clan envoy was no trouble at all!
"Certainly, please rest assured," the Vice Principal took the lead in sincerely assuring Lanqi.
Having heard Lanqi's strategy for dealing with the Blood Clan envoy in the office earlier, the Vice Principal was now absolutely certain that this Demon King's envoy with terrifying talents was the only wise demon who could save them!
I apologize for the slight delay, there was a small problem with the backend. Tomorrow there will be at least four more updates. I will finish writing and release the main plot of the Demon Academy in one go. It might be a bit late tomorrow, but I will definitely publish it by 10 PM at the latest!
