CHAPTER 828: CHAPTER 828: WHO HIT HER FACE?

There weren’t many obstacles stacked in the classroom, as some had been cleared by the Demon Masters outside beforehand.

When the Imp Sprites burst out from the classroom, the Demon Master squad outside instantly grabbed two of them each.

Despite this, Scarlett Jennings stood firm, protected by the agile Imp Sprites dodging the Demon Masters’ grasp.

Scarlett looked at the little ones only reaching her waist, feeling an indescribable emotion stirring within her.

This was originally a matter for her alone, she hadn’t expected them to voluntarily get involved.

Worried that the Demon Masters might actually harm the young ones, Scarlett hurriedly said,

"I only want to fight for my rights, with no intention to challenge the Academy’s authority. In essence, this issue is between me and the Academy of Mystique, and has nothing to do with these children!"

"You’ve incited them to collectively protest, seriously violating school rules; it’s not up to you to say it doesn’t matter. Moreover, what rights do you have?

The Academy grants you rights, without which you have none at all!"

The Demon Master spoke with disdain, "The rules of the Academy of Mystique are accepted by all demons. If you can’t accept them, you can leave as you wish."

"Rules accepted by all demons, are they necessarily right?"

Scarlett pondered, "What if I don’t want to leave but desire fairness?"

"Then you can try."

While the Demon Master spoke, a sudden cry from an Imp Sprite was heard nearby.

Turning around, a Demon Master was dragging two Imp Sprites, while kicking a Half-Demon Imp Sprite who tried to prevent him, to the ground.

In essence, the Demon Master squad couldn’t really discipline or strike these Imp Sprites freely.

After all, they were treasures of various families, harming them would cause trouble for the Academy of Mystique here.

But given today’s commotion, the Demon Master squad, to uphold the Academy’s prestige, would inevitably pick one or two to punish as an example.

The pure Demon Blood Imp Sprites couldn’t be touched, so they could only target those Half-Demon Imp Sprites.

The Half-Demon Imp Sprite kicked to the ground had its rabbit ears drooping down, instinctively curling its body into a ball defensively.

The Demon Master still intended to kick him aside, but Scarlett’s eyes had turned cold.

Demonic power surged around her, two fox tails grew violently behind her, one directly extending under her power.

With a sharp crack, the fox tail whipped fiercely onto the Demon Master’s face.

In the end, people don’t hit the face.

Unless the face deserves it.

The Demon Masters present had long noticed the two tails behind Scarlett, now feeling her demonic power, nothing like a Half-Demon’s murky power, each was startled.

However, before they could react in surprise, Scarlett’s swift move to knockout the Demon Master seemed to signal them.

All Imp Sprites moved collectively, three to five directly pouncing on a Demon Master.

The Demon Masters already outnumbered, and hesitant to truly harm the Imp Sprites, were suddenly pressed down beaten by them.

Scarlett disregarded any Spirit Talisman or magic, using her tails to whip anyone she spotted, displaying a wild beast style of fighting.

The scene descended into unprecedented chaos.

Other than the Young Demon level Primary Class in the East-West District, the demons knew of the disturbance long before, but not a single one attempted to come and stop it.

Why stop it?

Such great fun, you only witness once in a few hundred years.

Isn’t this more thrilling than catching an Evil Demon for commendation?~

The result of this teacher-student brawl ended only when the headmaster of the Academy of Mystique personally intervened.

Aaron Hearne arrived at this moment.

He originally thought they agreed yesterday, he only needed to wait at the Mystic Regulation Office for Scarlett’s reform proposal to be sent. But in less than a day...

She caused another incident.

Last time at least, she excelled in capturing Evil Demons, now she directly fought with teachers!!

Back then Magnolia Hearne was unyielding yet never fought the Demon Masters!

Ha, truly she’s surpassed the predecessor.

Aaron Hearne knew that if he didn’t make this trip today, Scarlett Jennings might be directly expelled, so he came.

On his way, he was determined to scold her first.

Clearly she was well-behaved at the Taoism Academy, why cause such a commotion so soon in the Academy of Mystique?

Was it because she looked down upon their Academy of Mystique?

However, all his words were discarded seeing Scarlett amidst the little ones, hair disheveled, body in distress, even bruising at her mouth.

Aaron Hearne stood there, coldness in his eyes descending inch by inch, the normally undetectable demon energy accompanied by pressure, weighing straight on all Demon Masters present.

Speaking up, his voice icy,

"Who hit her face?"

The Demon Masters squad was dumbfounded.

Wasn’t Scarlett Jennings just an undesired Mixedblood Monster of the Hearne family?

Why did Aaron Hearne, this boss at the Mystic Regulation Office not only personally come over but even... seem to mean to take her side?

The Demon Masters who planned to publicly scold Scarlett Jennings, this Mixedblood Monster for disrespect and disobedience, now fell silent.

Instead, the Demon Master who first hit stood out, "I hit her."

Though Scarlett’s face was bruised, this Demon Master was also hit by her several times!

Though he was a demon, with a powerful demon body, despite being beaten wouldn’t appear bruised and swollen like her.

He wanted to question Aaron Hearne if he intended to stick up for Scarlett Jennings, this disrespectful student, but before he could, a gust of demonic wind blew by.

In an instant, he seemed struck hard by something, suddenly tumbling to the ground, half his face badly swelling beyond normal.

"Where’d that strange wind come from."

Aaron Hearne casually commented, then suggested, "The wind is strong outside; if Demon Masters can’t stand steadily, you may as well wait inside."

That Demon Master couldn’t believe he was struck so suddenly, but feeling that demon power pressure, he restrained from speaking more, while two other Demon Masters quickly helped him up, hurriedly escorting him inside.

Everyone knows, concerning Mystic Regulation Office’s Mr. Wen, when he wants to reason with you, you may point at him directly to question.

But when he doesn’t want to reason, breathe near him a bit more, and he might shave off your finger.

And now, clearly he was the latter.

The Demon Masters lost previous fierce attitudes facing students, now behaving quite reasonably; the Imp Sprites, though uncertain of what unfolded, felt mysteriously intimidated by the man’s bloodline pressure ahead.

Aaron Hearne saw him being helped away, and his icy demeanor eased, restraining his imposing aura, as if he hadn’t just been the one to react violently.

"Let’s talk about how to handle this matter next."

Now that there’s been a fight, let’s discuss subsequent problem-solving.

The Academy of Mystique’s headmaster, who had intervened, displayed limited anger throughout, now still wearing a smile, asked,

"What do you think should be done?"

Looking at the headmaster, about to speak, Aaron Hearne heard Scarlett, who hadn’t spoken since before, suddenly saying,

"Before discussing the results, I hereby, in the capacity of a Mystic Regulation Office staff, formally submit a reform proposal for the Academy of Mystique to the Mystic Regulation Headquarters."

She spoke, directly giving Aaron Hearne the proposal she’d worked on overnight but hadn’t yet submitted to the Mystic Regulation Office.

If initially she only intended to use this so-called reform as leverage for the Academy to uphold superficial fairness to students, but...

Seeing firsthand the Demon Masters unhesitantly strike Half-Demon Imp Sprites, she changed her mind.

She wants to seriously perform a comprehensive reform on the various unspoken rules of this Academy of Mystique!

Including, the Academy of Mystique’s Demon Masters along with the headmaster never expected Scarlett Jennings to suddenly bring this up, what reform proposal, merely mutual teacher-student brawling, what reform could it involve?

The Demon Masters present were confused, yet Aaron Hearne exhibited no surprise.

He looked at Scarlett before him, her face still marked, two fox tails disheveled due to fighting yet proudly raised behind her.

Despite looking like a little fox who’d just fought outside needing to report to a guardian, she refused to do so, wanting to handle it herself.

Aaron Hearne subtly curved his lips, saying,

"I approve."
