Chapter 458 – Mr. Ranchi Welcomes Three Great Demon Clans as Guests

Proteus Royal Magic Academy, nearing three o’clock in the afternoon, there was only a unique kind of tranquility left on the main road on the north side of the campus.

Initially the sky still had traces of clearness, and these historical buildings looked even more solemn under the warm afternoon sun, however, as time passed, the sky was gradually covered by a layer of grayish clouds.

The residential area of the campus, where students almost always take umbrellas when they go out, can feel the freshness and humidity that the air carries even without looking at the sky, and the trees and grass are looking forward to the nourishment of the upcoming rainfall.

The three faculty members walk along the campus road toward the Redmond Administration Building at a relaxed pace, talking and laughing with a sense of reunion of old friends who are familiar with each other.

“I’m actually a little nervous, this is kind of the first time I’ve met the new king since I officially took office.”

Sinora looked slightly worried as she rubbed her chest.

She still had the same look of a quiet lady, her eyes were tightly closed as if she was immersed in her own world, but the aura radiating from her surroundings was impossible to ignore.

Her long-sleeved black silk gown swayed gently in the wind, and her occasional words seemed whispered.

At first it was Antanas who came to her house and found her.

Immediately after Antanas had gotten changed in her home, she had happily gone to visit, catching the siblings looking for them to go to dinner with them and chattering about it.

So all through the middle of the day they were together.

Sinora and Pranay, however, were both of a sedate disposition, not minding Antanas’ noise, and kept listening attentively to Antanas.

As long as the topic was related to the new king, they were very interested indeed.

“It’s okay, don’t worry, I’ve seen the new king’s real face, and while it’s indeed beautiful, it’s still amiable.”

Antanas patted Sinora’s shoulder and grinned.

Unlike Sinora, Antanas was wearing a leather vest and tight leather pants and tall boots.

Of the three professors she was the one who looked the least like a senior professor and more like a lecturer who would be very close to her students.

With a hint of playfulness in her determined stride, her neutral beauty intertwined with the sunlight and soon to be dripping raindrops to create a unique flavor that she was sure to dance with joy even in the rain.

Antanas knew that due to the 24-hour cooldown on the same [Change Art: Human], the new king had not undone the change on both the negative five and six floors of Helm’s Prison, and had only been shown the true colors of the Demon’s stance on the negative four floor.

“What look?”

Sinora asked curiously.

“Gray hair, blue pupils, very much like the Talia I remember, but with a completely different aura.”

Antanas explained.

“Uh.”

Having not seen her for a hundred years, Sinora couldn’t recall exactly what Talia looked like, either.
“Then I’m relieved, I’ll be sure to maintain good manners when I meet the new king later.”

Sinora was actually worried now that she would leave a bad impression on the new king by going through a few moves with Antanas when they first met.

As a noble lady from a famous family in the Demon World, Sinora was very concerned about her own manners and the new king’s opinion of her.

However, when she heard Antanas say that the new king was still as gentle as ever no matter what he became, Sinora put her heart down and made sure to speak properly and gesture elegantly in front of the new king later on.

“……” Walking behind Antanas and Sinora, Pranay listens to their conversation, his dark blue suit looking restrained and deep in the dull sunlight, the meticulous collar and corners of his coat emphasizing that he is a professor who pays attention to detail and precision.

“Stop talking you two, we’re almost at Redmond House, be careful of being overheard.”

Probably the new king wouldn’t mind much even if he knew they were making small talk about the new king, but Pranay wasn’t very keen on making the new king think the three of them were childish like that.

“Fine.”

Antanas looked back at Pranay and nodded with a pout.

Despite the fact that Pranay’s eyes were cool and gave the regulars a hint of distance, his posture was polite and his words revealed nothing but respect and care for his sister as well as his friend.

After the overthrow of the Demon Clan, the relationship between the three of them had become much firmer than it had been a hundred years ago.

Perhaps it was that there were just a few last known kinsmen left, and if they didn’t cherish them, they would truly be all alone in the world, and that would be true loneliness.

As Antanas, Sinora, and Pranay were walking around, the students around them cast curious glances from time to time.

First of all, they didn’t seem to have seen three professors with such outstanding temperament in the school, but looking at the style of their nameplates, they should all be the school’s new specially recruited senior professors.

As their pace gradually approached the Redmond Administration Building, a masonry structure inlaid with dark gray reliefs came into their eyes.

The building exuded a solemn and ancient aura, the masonry and carvings were steeped in history, and the patterns on the reliefs were intricate and delicate, inscribing the glory of the academics and knowledge of the Proteus Royal Magic Academy.

The three Archmagi used their work IDs to pass through the building’s spacious entrance and arrived at the hall on the first floor.

The interior ceiling was more than ten meters high, and the lighting was soft and warm, sweeping away the rainy gloom outside.

In this empty hall, they saw a figure of a waiter standing in the distance waiting for them.

It was a male student wearing the standard uniform of the Protoss Royal Magic Academy.

“Three professors, this way please, I’ll take you to that lord.”

The flaxen-haired teenager seemed to be a first-year student, but he had the aura of a battle-hardened magic warrior.

Those white cheeks carried a bit of morbid beauty, and the cold deep black eyes were filled with a tenderness similar to the king’s.

Antanas, Sinora, and Pranay all felt for a moment like they were seeing the leader of the scouting group of the special killing unit of the Demon King’s Army from their days.

The three of them looked at each other briefly, none of them sure if this teenager was their fellow Demon in disguise as a human.

Led by the receptionist, the three figures walked up the spacious staircase.

“Classmate, where are you from?”

Pranay was quite curious about the other party’s identity, he couldn’t directly pick on the other party and ask them where they came from, so he asked rather politely.

“I’m a fallen noble from the eastern part of the Protoss Empire, but nowadays it’s been confirmed that I’ll be joining the Snow Plains Province in the north. Because I was given a new lease on life by my teacher’s gifts and teachings I want to do what I can to return the favor.”

Shia replied.

Yesterday he had just come to the imperial capital of Helom together with his fiancée Lilith Chinston, and when he arrived at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy he received a message from the principal, allowing him to work part-time as an assistant in the Redmond Administration Building for a period of time in addition to attending classes at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy, while this work would also be rewarded with corresponding credit points, counting as a course.
