On the other side, on an elevated platform, Hans observed as the black-haired girl conducted her class smoothly. His fists tightened involuntarily as an unidentified anger simmered in his eyes.

For many instructors at the Royal Academy of Luminous, becoming the head of the Star Class, especially with exceptional students like the Girl of Destiny, was undoubtedly the best route to advancement. These students were exceptionally gifted and were nearing the end of their training phase. Guiding this class to successful graduation would be a remarkable achievement.

Leading so many exceptional students to success would undoubtedly elevate his career. Consequently, after learning of Sakara’s suspension, Hans eagerly aspired to secure the position of head teacher. In his perspective, he was the most qualified candidate... at least that’s how he saw it.

However, this sudden appearance of a black-haired girl had directly usurped his position. What was even more astonishing was that this girl, seemingly ignorant, had entered as a noble who relied on bribing Milton. And... she hailed from the Sadik Empire?

Hans, who already held a strong hate for Sadik Empire, became even more displeased with this Black Rose Family young lady.

Even though he had heard rumors of her possessing seventh-level strength, Hans, who hadn’t witnessed it firsthand, remained skeptical.

...

So, today, he visited the Royal Beast Garden to make note of the new teacher’s deficiencies during her class, intending to report them to the dean later. In Hans’s perspective, this black-haired girl, who had entered through connections, couldn’t possibly possess genuine talent.

He assumed her lecture on dealing with Abyssal Demons was mere rhetoric, perhaps employing clichéd phrases to deceive the students. However, to his surprise, Hans observed that Teacher Yu’s content was far from trite. Her methods and insights into handling Spider Demons and Wolf-type Demons were innovative, and they included information he had never encountered before.

Hans rested his chin in his hand, perplexed, and muttered to himself:

"Does this... woman... genuinely possess such an understanding of Abyssal Demons?"

...

’No,’

’No, no, no! ’

After a brief moment of uncertainty, Hans quickly shook his head, rejecting his own suspicions.

"I’ve extensively studied Abyssal Demons, and I don’t possess this knowledge. How could she... and her claim of personal experiences? Who does she think she’s fooling? Everyone knows that the Black Rose Family’s territory in the southwest of Sadik Empire is extremely safe, and rarely threatened by Abyssal Demons. Miss Black Rose, where did you gain all this Abyssal Demon encounter knowledge? Isn’t what you’re saying just a bunch of nonsense? Besides, even if you say all this, there’s no way to confirm it, We can’t just capture an Abyssal Demon for experimentation!"

"Who knows... if what you’re saying is true or false?" Hans muttered to himself, filled with jealousy.

Just then, a faint voice reached Hans’s ears, causing the impatient teacher to involuntarily shiver. "If it is true or not… Why not try it and find out?"

"You... who are you?!! Prince Amon?"

Staring at the red-haired man nonchalantly eating fruit beside him, Hans exclaimed in shock, the handsome man standing next to him was none other than the former ambassador representing the Red Leaf Empire in SkyeDome, and the second heir to the imperial throne.

The Second Prince - Amon.

After the initial shock, Hans narrowed his eyes as he recalled Amon’s words, his expression growing increasingly strange.

Without time to ponder why the prince had appeared beside him, Hans quickly asked,

"Your Highness... what do you mean by that?"

"It’s nothing, just some random thoughts. Oh... by the way..."

"Yeah? "

"Speaking of it, below the Royal Beast Garden, isn’t there a lot of creatures used for practical combat training? The type of Abyssal Demon that Teacher Yu just mentioned, it’s quite a coincidence, but it seems there really is one. It appears... its strength is close to level 7? The Academy probably intends to keep it for future group battles, right?"

"..."

As Amon’s words drifted into Hans’s ears, he hesitated for a moment before gradually revealing a cruel and somewhat insane smile...

...

...

As Yumo earnestly conducted the class, the most attentive students, aside from Mengxi, who kept a close watch on her sister, were likely Gari, the Dragon Prince, and Shaina, the Elven Princess. In their regular classes, these two proud scions of noble families were often inattentive.

Their presence in Luminous Royal Academy was driven by political reasons rather than a thirst for knowledge. For them, the knowledge within the academy was already well within their grasp, and they didn’t need to take lessons seriously.

But today was different.

Under the guidance of these two scions, several of their followers also showed great interest for learning. They diligently listened to Yumo’s words, taking meticulous notes and actively participating by asking and answering questions to liven up the class atmosphere.

Seeing this unusual behavior from Gari and Shaina, their fellow students couldn’t help but wear expressions of confusion.

"Have these two... taken the wrong medicine?"

...

Of course, Gari was well aware of what his classmates were thinking. He couldn’t care less about their doubts.

’Chh... What’s there to be surprised about? Seriously. You little kids wouldn’t understand the big picture! This is for the greater good! It’s for our dragon clan’s future! You guys lack the vision and knowledge to comprehend it.’

After dismissing his strange-looking classmates with disdain, Gari redirected his attention to the beautiful black-haired girl in front of him.

While it was essential to grasp some knowledge about Abyssal Demons, his intense focus and enthusiasm weren’t solely for the purpose of acquiring knowledge. His primary goal was to do everything in his power to please the Miss of the Black Rose Family.

Their initial encounter with Teacher Yu left a negative impression due to his rebellious attitude, which had always been a concern for him. Considering the supposed "broad-mindedness" of the Black Rose Family, Gari was worried that he might face consequences for his previous behavior.

Recalling his mother’s words about the "open-mindedness" of the Black Rose Family, Gari feared that they might seek retribution sooner or later. To prevent such a scenario and avoid being pressed to the ground and stripped of his scales like some of his uncles and relatives, Gari planned to build a good relationship with Teacher Yu.

Simultaneously, building this relationship wasn’t just for his benefit alone. It was also for the sake of their entire dragon clan!
