Chapter 829: Chapter 829: Just Support Her Anyway

The Demon Masters weren’t really focused on the news from the human Masters.

They only knew that the Mystic Regulation Office surprisingly accepted a human Master as a member, but no one connected Scarlett Jennings with the newly accepted member of the Mystic Regulation Office.

Now, hearing her suddenly reveal her identity with the Mystic Regulation Office and directly propose reforms, the Demon Masters were instantly a bit anxious.

No way, you’ve joined the Mystic Regulation Office, why are you still attending the Young Demon Class?

Wouldn’t it be better to accomplish missions properly?

Then they heard Mr. Wen immediately approve, and became even more anxious.

“Mr. Wen, is it not against the rules for Scarlett Jennings to propose a reform plan as the involved party?”

This is equivalent to her being both a participant and a judge, deciding win or lose, how could this be allowed?

Aaron Hearne just looked at Scarlett Jennings, “What do you think?”

“I do need to avoid conflicts of interest as the involved party, but the issue of discriminatory treatment towards Half-Demons in the Academy of Mystique does exist.”

Scarlett paused at this point, then asked,

“Is it enough to find another protesting demon to prove the necessity of the reform?”

Upon hearing this, the Demon Masters present actually breathed a sigh of relief.

If it’s about the treatment of Half-Demons, they believed apart from Scarlett Jennings, no other Half-Demon would dare to openly challenge the academy.

Because the Half-Demons at the Academy of Mystique have always been subjected to oppression.

They have all gotten used to it.

They were sure Scarlett Jennings couldn’t find another involved demon.

“If you can find another involved demon, we won’t say anything.”

Scarlett Jennings nodded, “Alright.”

She didn’t believe that in such a large academy, there isn’t a single one who would dare to step out and protest; no Half-Demon would willingly accept being discriminated against indefinitely.

If she couldn’t find one, she could always reach out to that person.

Scarlett was pondering this when unexpectedly, a small imp sprite carefully emerged from behind her tail.

“Can I… can I protest?”

The sprite’s voice was soft and sticky, with a slender, somewhat dirty figure. Upon closer inspection, it was the same Half-Demon imp sprite that was kicked away by the Demon Masters as a warning at the beginning.

Though a sprite, he understood Scarlett’s intention.

As long as he stepped forward, the Boss could legitimately reform the Academy of Mystique, right?

Unable to help himself, he raised his head and asked, “I’m a Half-Demon, can I?”

Scarlett Jennings met the cautious gaze of the little imp sprite and felt a slight tension in her heart.

Her original intention was not to involve the imp sprites from the demon level.

If there was going to be resistance, it should be the older teenage demons resisting, not letting such young sprites face the anger of the Demon Masters directly.

Before she could speak, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind her,

“I! I protest too! I support Boss Scarlett; there needs to be a reform!”

Truthfully, he didn’t know what needed reforming, but since the old boss, now his current boss, called for reform, he had to support it.

He had been a step slower just now, allowing the little sprite to take the lead, but it was fine, his voice was louder!

With these words from Jinx Rolling, many sprites present looked puzzled, while the Demon Masters’ expressions turned sour. What are these sprites stirring up again?!

Beside them, Big Wave couldn’t help but tug at Jinx Rolling’s arm, muttering what he thought was low but could actually be heard by everyone,

“What are you protesting? She means to help Half-Demons reform us Pure Demons.”

In other words, if she succeeds with the reforms, he can no longer bully the Half-Demon whelps in the class or make them run errands and groom for him.

Jinx Rolling considered himself also a Pureblood Demon, so maybe he shouldn’t be protesting.

But,

“Who cares, there’s no rule saying Pureblood Demons can’t support Half-Demons; Boss Scarlett is also a Half-Demon, so I want to support her!”

To be a qualified big brother, you first have to be a competent little brother.

The boss’s decision always deserves support.

Big Wave thought this made sense too, so he raised his hand for some excitement, “Then I can also be the involved demon, I protest too!”

Following the lead of Jinx Rolling and Big Wave, many sprite blazed in the heat of passion, though unsure of the specifics, felt that following along was enough.

And so a crowd of sprites raised their hands declaring their protest and desire for reform.

The Demon Masters were dumbfounded, while the headmaster of the Academy of Mystique preferred to remain silent.

Although Aaron Hearne had heard Sylvia Murray say Scarlett Jennings had become the boss of the young sprites in the three classes, he hadn’t expected her to have such a strong influence.

He cast a commendatory glance over the group of sprites, then turned to the headmaster of the Academy of Mystique and the Demon Masters, asking plainly,

“Any objections?”

“…”

“Then it’s settled.”

*

No one expected that the Young Demon level’s three classes could cause such a big commotion, staging mass class skipping and even fights with Demon Masters.

Yet the sprites didn’t receive any punishment, instead, the Academy of Mystique received a reform plan from the Mystic Regulation Office.

And leading it was actually someone who transferred here as an exchange student from Taoism Academy.

High-level Demon Class student asked,

“Luke, I heard she’s a Half-Demon the Hearne family just found, have you met her?”

The young man called Luke wore a rebellious expression,

“Why would I meet her? A Half-Demon whelp, not even a true Half-Demon, if it weren’t for the Soul Tree’s guidance, she wouldn’t have managed to enter the Academy of Mystique at all.”

“But I heard she already has two tails.”

In the Nine-tailed Fox lineage, truly manifesting nine tails is rare, but to manifest two tails with only a quarter demon clan bloodline is considered quite decent prowess.

They didn’t realize Scarlett Jennings learned to manifest a fox tail after entering the Academy of Mystique and assumed she had already manifested two tails beforehand.

Luke Hearne sneered at the remark, “Only two tails.”

The best-qualified sprite in their generation can already manifest five tails!

And that’s the only little lady in their generation; only she’s not here at the moment, but when she returns and finds out there’s a Half-Demon female fox in their family, who knows how she’ll react.

…

Scarlett Jennings, unaware that she had gained more fame, returned to the courtyard, and Dashiell, having heard that she went to start a fight, was briefly excited and regretful.

“You should’ve called me along!”

If he knew earlier, he would have tagged along with her.

Even if not fighting, participating in the mass class skip would have been good!

A misstep!

Scarlett Jennings ignored him, went straight to her room, and lay down.

Concerned about harming the imp sprites, neither she nor the Demon Masters used their demonic power or Spiritual Power in the fight.

Though purely physical combat, the fight was surprisingly exhausting even without supernatural forces.

She wasn’t like a true demon with immense physical endurance.

To accomplish what she had planned next, she needed to sleep to restore her energy.

But before that, she had to figure out how to retract her two fox tails.

The two tails were still too conspicuous; she didn’t like the feeling of being stared at.

If anyone had to see them, she’d let Samuel Chalmers take a look when he returned.

Though he hadn’t seen her tails yet,

She wondered if he would find them odd.

Thinking about it, Scarlett casually touched the only gift from North Spirit Stone Samuel left her, carrying his aura on her chest.

As she had done every night since his disappearance, Scarlett placed the stone to her lips, lightly brushing it.

“Samuel Chalmers, goodnight…”

This whisper seemed to penetrate through regions, reaching some Earth Veins deep within.

The man, originally asleep, slowly opened his eyes at that moment.

…

Meanwhile, Scarlett Jennings, on her bed, fell into deep sleep.

The North Spirit Stone she was clutching emitted small rays of spiritual light.

Golden spiritual light gradually dispersed from the stone, falling upon her quietly curled two fox tails, as if carrying soothing power, causing them to slowly unfold.

Eventually, they slowly dissolved into the demonic light, retracting.
