Am I the Devil - Chapter22

Sarah summoned all the deans to the Mage Tower to discuss the aftermath of the Shadow Cult's invasion.

Ikarov from the necromancer department, Kana from the elementalist department, Bin Yong from the combat department, and Newt from the auxiliary combat department.

Night City College couldn't compare to the Royal Academy, which could be seen from the structure of the departments.

The necromancers of the Royal Academy were divided into the summoner department and the combat department, not to mention the elementalist department.

Except for Newt from the auxiliary combat department, none of the other deans were below level five. Ikarov was even a level six magus.

"The Shadow Cult's invasion gave us a signal. We can't just sit and wait." Several teachers from Bin Yong's combat department were injured.

Kana took off her cloak and tucked her short hair behind her ears. She whispered, "I believe the council will send people here soon. The news of the academy will soon reach the royal family. This is a dispute between the royal family and the Shadow Cult. I don't recommend the academy to get involved."

Bang!

Bin Yong slammed the table, his goatee trembling. "Unreasonable. The Shadow Cult is bullying us. Are we going to stretch out our necks and let them slaughter us?"

"I didn't say that." Kana rolled her eyes at Bin Yong.

"Isn't that what you mean?"

"Idiot."

"You!"

Newt pushed his glasses up. "Hey, calm down. I think Kana has a point."

Bin Yong glared at Newt. "Are you crazy?"

"Ahem." Newt shook his head. "Let me ask you. Do you know where the Shadow Cult is?"

"The Kingdom of Chaos."

Newt sighed. "Since you know, then you should know. This is a matter between two countries. What can a small academy like ours do?"

Bin Yong was speechless. Ikarov knocked on the table. "That's right. That's why the most important thing now is not to find the Shadow Cult but to improve the academy's strength."

"It was all thanks to President Lincoln of the Hyena Blade Association that we were able to avert this crisis. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable. So, let's ask President Lincoln to say a few words."

Lincoln looked at the top combatants of City of the Night and felt uneasy. None of them were weaker than him.

"Actually, everyone has already made it very clear. The City of the Night's geographical location is special and rich in resources. The academy doesn't need to place its focus on fighting. It only needs to continuously increase its strength to obtain the right to speak."

Lincoln paused. "As for the rest … Just leave it to the people in charge. The Shadow Cult didn't just invade the academy, they also slapped the Royal Family in the face. The Royal Family won't take this lying down."

After Lincoln finished speaking, the others fell into deep thought.

After a while, Sarah said, "After this academy celebration, let's put the trial plan back on the agenda."

Bin Yong's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "I agree!

We should have let these children go out and train long ago. What can they improve by staying in the academy all day? "

Cana and Newt looked at each other and said at the same time, "Agreed."

Ikarov also smiled and said to Lincoln, "President Lincoln, it seems that it's time to strengthen the cooperation between the Hyena Blade Association and the academy."

The Hyena Blade Association was the holy land of assassins in the Empire and the Federation. At the same time, it was also one of the top adventurers' organizations. Therefore, the cooperation between Night City College and the Hyena Blade Association would be very helpful in improving the students' combat abilities.

"More than happy to."

Lincoln didn't expect to gain this much from this trip to Night City College. This would make his foundation in the City of the Night more stable. One day, he would return to his family with glory.

After leaving the Mage Tower, Lincoln first took Kyle back to the Hyena Blade Association. Along the way, there were many ravines and collapsed buildings. The influence of a magical beast over level 9 was truly terrifying.

Kyle sighed and kicked Blacky's butt as he walked.

Blacky couldn't say anything and could only admit that he was unlucky.

"The City of the Night's council has been living a peaceful life for so many years. It's time for them to bleed a little. With this level of damage, as long as the council is willing to fork out money and hire a few earth magicians, it'll be repaired in less than a month."

Although Lincoln said this, he didn't believe that the council would fork out the money. The current head of the council in the City of the Night wasn't a good person.

The Hyena Blade Association's building had been reinforced by earth magicians and was almost undamaged in this incident.

"President Lincoln!"

"Hello, President!"

At the door, someone immediately greeted Lincoln.

Lincoln nodded in response and asked, "Is Selena back?"

"Madam Selena is in your office."

Selena didn't follow Lincoln and Kyle into the academy. It was a good thing that she didn't go, or else she would have to take the blame for the magical beast going berserk. After all, she was the Girl of Disaster.

Lincoln and Kyle had just reached the second floor when Lincoln didn't even have time to push open the door when they heard hurried footsteps.

"Wuwuwu!

Master, you're finally here! "Little Finger rushed out with snot and tears as he hugged Kyle's leg.

"Uh … What's going on?" Kyle didn't react for a while.

Blacky wasn't happy. Where did this human come from? How dare he steal his master?

"Hit!"

Blackie kicked Little Finger away. "Get lost, a weak human like you dares to snatch Master from this Demon King?"

"Little Finger, aren't you going to pour some water?"

Selena's voice came from the office. Little Finger looked like he had seen a ghost and quickly rushed in to pour water.

"I'm here!"

Lincoln and Kyle walked into the office. As soon as they entered, they saw Selena resting her feet on the desk with a leisurely look on her face.

"Don't tell me you don't know that such a big thing happened in the City of the Night." Lincoln said in a bad mood.

Selena said indifferently, "Of course I know, but what can I do?

Fortunately, I didn't go to the academy this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of the title of Girl of Disaster. "

"It's really good that you can sit here peacefully."

Lincoln rolled his eyes at Selena. "According to the same experience, you should be the first to run away."

Selena stood up and looked at Lincoln with some resentment. "President Lincoln, you really hid it from me."

Lincoln was stunned for a moment. Kyle, who was beside him, sat down and picked up a cup of tea to drink.

"If my spies hadn't gone to the academy to inquire, I wouldn't have known that you were so capable."

Selena paused after saying that. "Even dealing with a level-9 magical beast was a piece of cake for you. Isn't Pennister's treasure a piece of cake for you?"

"I …"

Lincoln didn't know how to explain for a moment.

"Don't explain. I know you've paid the price."

Selena walked to Lincoln's side and whispered in his ear, "My request is very simple. If we really encounter danger, I'll have to trouble President Lincoln."
