Chapter 393 Who is the real leader?

"Also, let's admit these two kids to the school as well," Alice eventually decided, still unsure about Luna and Erebus.

This was mainly because what William had described was too terrifying: two children who could kill a Demi-God level warrior with a single slap.

Without proper management, what could happen if things went awry? n/.O/-V--e-)l.-b/(1-(n

"Those two?" Yannis, the representative from the Pantheon Guild, scrutinized Luna and Erebus.

At first glance, he was terrified.

According to the secret arts of their Guild, these two children were unmistakably powerful Shapeshifters.

The dark aura emanating from their bodies, even when heavily suppressed, was still alarmingly frightening.

Shapeshifters taking human forms in this era! It seemed the world was indeed on the brink of significant changes.

"Since Alice has spoken, these two kids naturally can enter the school to study." Soulmancers from other Guilds didn't have the ability to discern the special qualities of Luna and Erebus, assuming instead that Alice was using her own strength to coerce everyone into accepting the two children into the Soulmancer school.

Her word, as that of a powerful being, naturally carried weight.

This much face, they had to give.

"That's settled then!" Alice hadn't expected her influence to be so significant.

The four of them became the school's first batch of students, and Zoey inevitably became the Dean of Students, responsible for managing student discipline and ensuring the school's security.

"Alice, we were just discussing how many students we should admit this time." Yannis now felt even more in awe of Alice, with such powerful Shapeshifters by her side.

As far as he knew, there had been no formidable Shapeshifters since the medieval era.

These powerful beings were not something a high-level Soulmancer could easily handle.

Yet, in Alice's presence, those two kids behaved as docile as little kittens, clearly proving Alice's immense power!

Treated as the real leader of the 13th Bureau, Alice, who actually knew very little, said, "How many people do you think should be admitted? Discuss it with Director Wenzel! Don't come to me with everything!"

Hearing this, Zoey immediately responded, even before they could ask, "Discuss it with Steven!"

Steven, stealing a glance at William, quickly added, "I've retired already. From now on, for these matters, just consult with William."

This move left the group utterly baffled!

What was this situation?

Upon hearing this, Luna and Erebus shivered.

"Alice... you're not planning to use us as materials for alchemy, are you?" Luna looked at Alice with teary eyes, appearing pitiful, "We won't do anything bad..."

"Alchemy materials?" Alice's smile froze momentarily, wondering what the child was thinking.

William couldn't help but laugh.

He finally understood why these two little ones were so afraid of Alice. They were worried about being used as materials for alchemy!

But truthfully, creatures like a phoenix and a giant wolf, ancient and mythical beasts, would indeed make excellent materials for alchemy.

Seeing William laugh, Luna and Erebus grew even more panicked.

Are we really going to do it this way?

Was Alice actually planning to use them for alchemy?

No wonder they were never killed, and instead, they were well-fed and plump.

They should have taken the opportunity to escape when Alice wasn't home some time ago.

Whether or not they could have actually gotten away was one thing, but at least they should have tried!

Now, it seemed too late.

"What are you thinking? Why would I use you two as materials for alchemy?" Alice recalled that Luna and Erebus were quite good to Mia when at home, indicating that these two children were inherently not bad.

Alice paused, then added, "As long as you behave and listen, there won't be any problems."

Luna and Erebus finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they weren't used as materials for alchemy, everything else was negotiable.

The group made their way back to the Soulmancer's market.

The market wasn't very crowded that day, with only the Guilds' shops open and hardly any individual vendors setting up stalls.

The large Soulmancer organizations were recruiting apprentices.

The independent Soulmancers were probably harboring some ambitions.

Times had changed, and ordinary Soulmancers didn't have it easy, being easily targeted. Joining a large Soulmancer organization provided a sense of security and a better opportunity for improving their abilities.

Upon reaching the Mystic Attic again, they found Thaddeus absent, with his disciple attending to them.

"Is Thaddeus here?" Alice asked as she entered. "I'd like to exchange for another alchemy furnace, but a better one this time. The one I bought yesterday exploded after just one use."

Regardless of whether the pill Alice offered in exchange was as good as the last time, she needed to frame it this way to stand a chance of obtaining a better alchemy furnace.
