Chapter 2 Lucifer's Daughter
Babylonian College, Principal's Office.
Looking at the human boy standing behind Sean, with his thick glasses, sallow complexion, and obvious stunted growth, Alicia Lucifer felt that this was the angrier she had ever been, even more so than that distant afternoon when she learned that her own sister had become a traitor...
"Sean, is this the most outstanding 'talent' you found for me in the human world of the main world?"
Alicia's hands clenched involuntarily. She suppressed the urge to tear the other person to pieces and emphasized the words "outstanding person" through gritted teeth.
God knows how much money she spent and what price she paid to successfully get this bastard to cross the crystal wall and smuggle himself into the human world, a miracle that is almost impossible to replicate.
"Yes...yes, Headmaster."
Sensing the murderous intent in the principal's words, the admissions director, Sean, turned pale with nervousness, but still managed to nod with difficulty.
"A remarkable person?... Hahaha!"
Alicia laughed in her anger.
The devil never underestimates humanity; it is a race that has created countless miracles throughout history.
Driven by passion, some scholars abandoned their pens for the sword, and in just a few decades, they transformed a nation on the brink of collapse into a behemoth, enabling 400 million people to stand tall...
Some people, through sheer willpower, can burn in the flames without uttering a sound until they die...
Some people have been persecuted for decades, yet they still persevered and returned to their homeland, making contributions that were equivalent to those of a million-strong army.
...
These people who created miracles were hailed as "outstanding individuals".
She was also the student Alicia hoped Sean would bring back from the human world, but now...
She glanced at the human boy again, focusing on his sparse stubble and crooked teeth. His internal organs were severely depleted, and his hormones were out of balance...
The Grand Duchess clenched her fists even tighter; she could no longer contain her anger.
The next moment, six huge and beautiful black wings emerged from Alicia's smooth, white back, spreading out like splashed ink.
Rumble!
The deep black magic engulfed the spacious room, which covered several hundred square meters, like fireworks.
Step, step, step.
Accompanied by a terrifying pressure, Alicia walked step by step toward Sean.
The principal is really angry!
Upon realizing this fact, Magician Sean's knees buckled, and he slid down to his knees.
"Principal, please...please let me explain!"
"You bastard, wait until I break all your bones and put you in a wheelchair before I'll listen to your explanation."
"But he's truly an outstanding person!"
"I hope you'll still be this stubborn when you start wailing later. This guy doesn't look like a hero at all... Hmm?"
Alicia, who had been angrily pointing at the bewildered human boy standing behind Sean, suddenly realized a fact...
"Why are you still standing?" the Grand Duchess asked in surprise.
"Should I kneel down?" the boy asked timidly.
God knows how confused he is right now. The admissions director who spent a lot of money to take him away turned out to be a devil. He even led him through a crystal-clear barrier to hell, and then a beautiful female devil with six wings appeared, shouting for his life.
Damn it, could it be that after staying up all night studying for eighteen hours, his brain finally couldn't take it anymore and started hallucinating and deceiving himself?
Alicia: "..
She is the greatest monarch of the Seven Rings of Hell, the eldest granddaughter of Lucifer, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the "Sin of Pride," and her own rank has reached the terrifying ninth rank—"Grand Duke of the Devil."
And she hadn't held back at all just now; the pressure she unleashed at full power was so great that even a high-level demon like Sean couldn't withstand it and had to kneel down, let alone a mere underdeveloped human boy.
Under normal circumstances, facing the oppressive power of the Demon Grand Duke, normal humans, and even lower-level demons, would have long since lost control of their bladder and bowels or gone mad and become idiots.
How could he possibly stand so easily and comfortably?
After a moment of silence, the Grand Duchess slowly retracted her six jet-black wings back into her body.
"Human, don't you feel pain?" Alicia asked, frowning.
"...I'm used to it." The boy paused for a moment, then said in a low voice.
When he was initially engulfed by the black flames, he did indeed feel a pain he had never experienced before.
It felt like I was drowning in an endless, deep pool; my limbs felt heavy, I had nothing to lean on, and I couldn't breathe...
But he remembered the boy shivering on that winter night, the despair of being forced to take the exam even with a fever of 40 degrees Celsius, and the torment in his chest when running the "world's number one exercise" after sixteen hours of grueling study...
In comparison, this entirely new kind of pain doesn't seem so unbearable anymore.
At least not to the point of making him kneel down.
"I'm used to it"... What an incredible answer!
This kid is probably really something special.
Alicia and Sean were both keenly aware of this fact.
"Cough cough."
The magician, who had been kneeling, smiled slightly. He stood up again, coughed twice, and even elegantly adjusted his tie.
"Human, quickly tell your future principal about your schedule when you attend human schools," Sean said expectantly.
He couldn't wait to see the first look of shock appear on the headmaster's stunningly beautiful, icy face.
"I get up at 5:30 every morning, do morning exercises at 5:45, morning reading at 6:00, have classes from 7:00 to 12:00, and then take a lunch break in the classroom at 12:30..."
The young man didn't dare to delay and quickly spoke up.
After he finished speaking, he didn't forget to add, "This is a normal student's schedule. I have to get up an hour earlier than them every day..." and so on.
As Alicia listened, her furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
She could naturally tell that the other person was telling the truth. A minor studying for sixteen hours a day and sleeping less than four hours a day... he's practically a superman!
No wonder his body was so severely depleted; if left untreated, he would have died suddenly within a few months.
"Principal, this human boy recently achieved first place in an exam with a million participants. This is his exam paper."
Sean respectfully handed a stack of test papers to Alicia.
The duchess casually flipped through the papers and quickly grasped their value.
Although it lacks depth, the fact that humanity has achieved such results is enough to call us geniuses among our species.
This requires both tremendous effort and indispensable talent to achieve.
"Human, it seems that beneath your pathetic body lies an indomitable soul," Alicia remarked.
"Sean, even if you barely manage to complete this mission, your final evaluation will depend on this human's future at Babylon Academy."
Snapped.
The Grand Duchess snapped her fingers, and the space shattered like a mirror, revealing a deep crack.
She lifted the boy by the shoulder and walked straight into the spatial rift.
After Alicia left, the magician Sean collapsed onto the carpet, panting heavily, as if he had just survived a disaster.
"We finally managed to fool them."
"Hopefully this human will behave himself..." the magician muttered to himself. He didn't want to be torn to pieces by the principal again for stepping into the office with his left foot first.
