At the Aldridge Empire’s seaside resort spot, Oldrango City’s coastal region, the Twilight Forest Arena of Phoenix Island, the peak of Augustus Academy’s magic tower. Bella who came over to lend a hand to the Augustus Academy encountered the masterminds who were manipulating the Mutant Humanoid Slimes here. They were a group of evil summoners, and those Mutant Humanoid Slimes were all summoned by them.

Based on their strength, they wouldn’t be able to summon such perverted Demonic Beings such as the Mutant Humanoid Slimes. The reason they were able to succeed was presumably because someone was supporting them in the shadows. However, that won’t affect Bella from taking them out. The Demon King’s Shadow underneath Bella’s feet very smoothly lurked under theirs. Under the horrified gaze of the Augustus Academy girls, the black-clothed man’s shadows reached out their dark hands and grabbed them.

“What’s going on? Who’s pulling on my legs!”

“Oh no, there are…evil spirits…”

Before the unlucky men could figure out what was going on, they were pulled in by the dark shadows and devoured. It was Abyss Demonic Beings who ate them, not Bella herself. Bella’s Demon King Shadow is only used to summon Abyss Demonic Beings. She didn’t enjoy devouring humans herself. Once the black-clothed men were all eaten up, Bella found another place to hide before showing herself, not revealing to Augustus Academy’s girls that she has an invisibility cloak.

“Huh? You’re…You’re Senior Bella from Olsylvia Academy, right?”

“President Elshelly, how do you know who I am? I don’t think we’ve met before!”

“It was President Alephia next door who told me. When I went to visit the Frederica Academy a few days ago, their Student Union President, Senior Roxanne mentioned you too, I think. But they all said you were…a little dangerous, and they told me to be careful.”

President Elshelly of Augustus Academy was able to recognize Bella quite quickly, and she had found out from the student union presidents of the other Twelve Academies that Bella was a dangerous character who had a strange taste for pretty girls. However, it was no use even if she knew. She was currently still in a confined state. She could only watch as Bella used the “Tears of the Goddess” to dissolve the Mutant Slimes that trapped her.

Bella easily picked up the petite President Elshelly in a princess carry. Looking at the petite loli in her arms, evil thoughts flashed past Bella’s mind again. She carried President Elshelly to the break area on the tower. Then, she reached out to touch the platinum tube over President Elshelly’s chest in an attempt to touch the eyesore.

As soon as Bella’s hand touched President Elshelly’s body, she was blocked by a powerful defensive energy. It turns out the reason why those black-clothed men and the Mutant Humanoid Slimes were unable to strip Augustus Academy’s girls was because there was a powerful magical defense barrier attached to this special metal underwear they were wearing.

“Senior Bella, don’t be naughty. I heard from the other student union presidents, they told me you like to bully girls. My underwear is special…Uh, you…”

“President Elshelly, this level of defense is useless against me, so you better settle down and let me check and see if there are any injuries on your body!”

“Impossible, you’re clearly not a mage! Wait, don’t…”

Under Elshelly’s astonished gaze, Bella forcefully broke the barrier and reached out to press her hand on Elshelly’s platinum breastplate, pulling it off with a light tug. The little white bunnies on Elshelly’s chest were directly exposed to the air for Bella’s viewing pleasure. After seeing the real view, a wicked grin emerged on Bella’s face. Even though President Elshelly was lacking in the breast area, she still developed quite well. Being able to hold it completely in one hand is the best feeling.

Bella moved her hand down Elshelly’s waist before resting on the silver pantsu, and the calmness completely disappeared from President Elshelly’s eyes. She herself had no idea why she was so nervous. Both of them were girls after all. Bella didn’t care what President Elshelly was thinking though. With a light tug. she pulled off the last bit covering President Elshelly’s shame.

“You…Don’t come over here, Senior Bella! I…I’m not developed yet!”

“Senior Bella, don’t trouble our President! She…She’s still a child!”

“Hush, all of you. None of you are going to escape from my hands today. Stop wearing this type of metal underwear in the future, it’s bad for your body. I’ll also recommend some of my own products while I’m here.”

Bella saved all the girls at the top of the tower, but while saving them, she also stripped all their metal underwear down as well. If she remembered correctly, Augustus Academy is the one academy least interested in the new underwear she’s marketing out of the Twelve Human Academies. In order to market her goods, Bella didn’t even care about principles anymore.

Augustus Academy’s girls didn’t know whether they should laugh or cry at Bella’s sales pitch. It was the first time they’d ever seen such an unprincipled salesperson as Bella. Unfortunately, they were now at her mercy. After being stripped by Bella, they were placed side by side at the top of the tower. Since President Elshelly, who was in charge of them, was there, Bella wasn’t worried that these alchemists would run off or resist, so she did not tie them up with any tools.

It can be seen that the girls of Augustus Academy favored their loli student union president very much. Even though this tactic was shameless, as long as Bella kept a firm hold over President Elshelly, then these beautiful alchemists will be obedient to her. Those black-clothed men had good taste. Only, their luck was a bit lacking. A single high-ranking alchemist can fetch a pretty good price.

The next-door Listabel Academy was different. In the “Night of the Witches” event, all the girls participating from Augustus Academy are their elites without any reservation. There were more than a hundred alchemists in the magic tower and they were all elite alchemists. Not only were they really good looking, their alchemy abilities were pretty high too.

Using the excuse of checking their bodies, Bella very openly bullied their loli President Elshelly in front of Augustus Academy’s girls, “attacking” her all over. While Bella was stroking her chest with one hand, she caressed her smooth back with the other, moving lower and lower. The fair skin on President Elshelly’s whole body had tinged a slight blush of red. How could she stand up to Bella’s “old veteran” skills? If not for the fact that the girls were still at the side watching, Elshelly would likely have let out a strange cry.

“Senior Bella, I understand. I’ll use your underwear from now on. So this time, could you…Could you let me finish the tournament first!”

“Elshelly, your body is so soft. I’d love to hold you like a doll to sleep! I’ll let you go this time, but I need to take something as compensation!”

“What do you want? If it’s money you want, then name a price. As long as it’s not too over…Wait, Senior Bella, why are you leaning so close…Nn…”

Bella lowered her head and kissed Elshelly’s lips. Seeing the loli president’s panicked and confused eyes, Bella knew she really struck gold. It was clear from Elshelly’s eyes that this was her first kiss. After the kiss, Bella who still hasn’t gotten enough directly went up to all the beautiful girls in Augustus Academy and gave them all a kiss. The eight most beautiful young alchemists of Augustus Academy, nicknamed the “Eight Sages”, had their first kisses stolen by Bella just like that.

The most abominable thing was, Bella’s kisses were “poisonous”. When they were kissed, they didn’t feel any sense of disgust from kissing another girl at all. Instead, they felt inexplicably fascinated. When Bella took her lips away, these beautiful alchemists all began to doubt their own orientation and wondered if they had been “bent”. After bullying the girls at the tower, Bella simply rescued all the Augustus Academy girls and carried them all to the top of the tower.

While bringing them up, Bella used the excuse of checking their bodies for injuries to openly strip Augustus Academy’s girls clean, removing every last bit of that metal underwear from their bodies. The girls could not do anything about it at all. Bella has the right of way here after all. But Bella was much more domineering this time and didn’t care what President Elshelly had to say. She directly summoned another super bodyguard, Devouring Holy Dragon Euphenisia, to help guard the tower.

Euphenisia and Lolita are both terrifying lolis of the same level. She wore a white gothic lolita outfit but she was not holding a parasol. Instead, she had a white bunny doll. Bella communicated with her through their minds, but she didn’t need to say much and Euphenisia already understood what she needed and agreed quite easily. This wasn’t a difficult task for her at all.

After entrusting the task of guarding the tower to Euphenisia, Bella turned back to the tower and took out a medicinal pill similar to a piece of chocolate from her storage ring and walked up to President Elshelly who was still in a muddled state, gently lifting her head up and shoving the pill into her little mouth. President Elshelly’s face became very panicked. She had no idea what sort of strange pill Bella had just fed her. Even as a genius alchemist, she was unable to taste what type of pill it was. It just tasted a little sweet.

“Senior Bella, what…what did you feed me? Wait, answer my question first. Don’t…”

“It’s good stuff! Take a guess! If you can’t guess, then come over to my room at night, I’ll tell you the answer. If not, things will be bad if the drug starts to take effect!”

Bella fed President Elshelly several mysterious pills in a roll before she finally stopped. After that, Bella had specifically chosen one of the most beautiful girls to start with, and fed the mysterious pills to all the more beautiful girls of the Augustus Academy. Not a single one of the “Eight Sages” were spared by Bella’s “poisonous hands”. Looking at these girls who were said to have seen every type of medicinal pill confused over what sort of mysterious pill they’ve been fed, Bella proudly turned away and left with a mischievous expression on her face.

What she fed them was in fact not medicine at all. They are just chocolate snacks she entrusted Time Space Demon Noesha to get for her from Earth, which are often used as medicinal pills on TV sets. Elshelly is not a transmigrator and naturally has no idea what chocolate is, so she still thinks it’s some sort of mysterious elixir.

Bella had tricked Elshelly into believing she had been fed some sort of strange drug or elixir so she would come to her herself to ask for the antidote. When that time comes, Bella could “bully” her further. The “Eight Sages” under Elshelly, as well as all the beautiful girls in the Augustus Academy’s magic tower have all made the mistake of overthinking things, which is how they fell for Bella’s trap and thought that the chocolate was some sort of amazing drug

Only after dealing with all this did Bella pick up her weapon and leave the magic tower to support the magic towers of the other academies nearby instead. Throughout the entire night, Bella was busy giving her support around the area. It wasn’t until dawn that Bella finally completed her support mission. Since the black-clothed men who were controlling the Mutant Slimes have already been dealt with, the remaining group of slimes were easily defeated without a leader.

Fortunately, Bella dealt with those guys in time. Many of the Mutant Humanoid Slimes have already been planning to move the captured girls away. They couldn’t be planning anything good if they were going to be moving away a bunch of naked girls who are unable to resist in the slightest. Those black-clothed men had many side businesses that have already gone beyond the tasks given to them by the gambling organization in the first place.

By the time the Manasvir Empire’s guard team arrived, the Twilight Forest had already been cleaned up, so the traces of the Mutant Humanoid Slime attacks could no longer be found. Since there were no accidents during the process of the event, Olsylvia Academy, Listabel Academy, Augustus Academy, and the other three academies successfully passed the “Night of the Witches” preliminary round and advanced directly to the next round’s “Night of the Witches” advancement round and the finals.

Nothing unexpected happened during this “Night of the Witches” preliminary and quarter-finals round. All Twelve Academies advanced, and the academies without magic professions as the major course mainly relied on the temporary recruits of mages from the other Twelve Academies to pass. Within the Twelve Human Academies, the “Night of the Witches” is a senior-level magic profession team battle competition, and only four academies will compete for the final championship. Namely, Olsylvia Academy, Listabel Academy, Dimiost Academy, as well as Alessandra Academy. The other eight academies did not have magic as their mainstream so entering the advancement round means they’ve already completed their task and did not lose face.

Under Bella’s arrangements, the Manasvir Empire chose to hide the accident that happened in the “Twilight Forest” in the end and did not announce the cancelation of the “Night of the Witches” tournament, which destroyed the gambling organization’s plans to sabotage Olsylvia Academy in the “Night of the Witches” tournament for now. Of course, this wasn’t the first time. They might still try to pull something in the next round. Bella’s purpose was very simple. She will simply pretend that she did not know, then she’ll catch them all up in one big net when they make their move.

The day after the “Night of the Witches'” quarter-finals is a break. According to the arrangements, due to the minor incident in the “Twilight Forest”, the organizer, the Manasvir Empire, have decided to change the venue last minute for the “Night of the Witches” advancement round and finals so as to avoid the gambling organization from interfering with the girls’ tournament again. So, the girls’ tournament will be postponed for a few days The event held on the second day is the magic tower defense battle for the boys, called the “Night of the Mages”, but Bella thinks calling it “Night of the Wizards” was more appropriate.

The girls had a large team battle on the next day as well. It was the large-scale team battle of the physical professions called the “Light of Dawn”. The event’s model is similar to an “other world modified version” of a team battle royale. There is a restriction that only girls of physical combat professions are allowed to enter, and the teams will be matched up against each other, with one member selected out of each team to carry a special lamp called the “Holy Lamp” that is always on.

Their task will consist of placing the “Holy Lamp” at a designated point for a set amount of time before points are rewarded. In the process of the Holy Lamp placement, the other participating teams will have to stop the others from lighting up their “Holy Lamps” and contest for the spot to light up their own “Holy Lamp” and guard it for the set amount of time. If you changed the “Holy Lamp” to a “bomb”, then this would be the classic Demolition mode from the FPS games on Earth.

The numbers on each team participating is similar to the magic tower battle in the “Night of the Witches”. They all consist of about a hundred members, all of which are martial professions. The difficulty of this event would depend on which academy you’re with. This event has always been the strength of the other academies. Being subject to the constraints of the venue terrain, the knight professions who are restrained from using mounts will have a harder time than assassins or warrior class professions. In the previous “Light of Dawn” events, Olsylvia Academy’s results were basically around the middle to low range. The prohibition of Dragon Knights from using dragon mounts during this event is a large constraint for Olsylvia Academy’s most powerful profession in the martial department.

This time, Bella chose to sign up for the “Light of Dawn” team battle under her identity as Dragon Knight Grand Duke Bellina. The boys’ event was scheduled to take place after the girls’. Unlike the “Night of the Witches”, the “Light of Dawn” team battle will be held at the man-made ancient city ruins at the center of Phoenix Island, making it a standard urban fight.

Moreover, the “Light of Dawn’s” preliminaries will be going with an all-out battle royale model, meaning that the first twelve academies of all the teams of the participating academies competing in the ancient ruins to light up five “Holy Lamps” will directly advance into the finals. There are more than a thousand students participating, making it a battle royale of over thousands of people. The scale was even larger and more exciting than the “Night of the Witches”.

The members that Olsylvia Academy are preparing to send out this time includes Dragon Knight Bellina (Bella), Dragon Knight Lisha, Disciplinary Committee Chief Dragon Knight Natasha, and other famous beautiful knights from the knight division. Even the Renegades Kriss and Assassin Noreya were participating, while the Radiant Church’s Holy Swordsman Cynthia will be participating as foreign aid.

After learning the lesson of having the “Night of the Witches” event interfered with by the gambling organization, Bella also wisened up and separated Olsylvia Academy’s group participating in the “Light of Dawn” event into two teams. The “Light of Dawn” event’s rules allowed a single academy to send two teams to compete as main and sub teams, and the final results will be a pick of the best team’s result. Most of the academies had their main players in their main teams, but Bella had secretly transferred all the main players to the secondary team so that they could use the main team to attract the enemy’s attention instead.
