Chapter 52: Dekan’s Transformation

"Ehh..."

Mielle hesitated for a moment.

Then, she leaned against the shoe cabinet and gently patted Alice's back as she said, "Alice, I'll go to your dormitory with you."

Before opening the door, Mielle had hidden Dekan's shoes.

She couldn't let Alice discover Dekan's shoes in the shoe cabinet.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

Although there was nothing between her and Dekan, if Alice saw them, it would be hard to explain.

"I haven't tidied up my place for days..."

Alice mumbled.

"It's okay, I'll help you tidy up," Mielle reassured her.

"How could I let you do that? I came to disturb you in the middle of the night and woke you up..." Alice's voice grew smaller.

"It's okay, I was actually staying up late for an experiment," Mielle replied gently, leading Alice out of the dormitory.

However, Alice continued to tightly cling to Mielle, her body trembling as if she resisted going out into the dark hallway.

"Mielle, just stay with me for a while..."

Alice's tone was like a plea.

"Phew..."

Mielle sighed helplessly.

She slowly turned away from Alice's gaze and retrieved a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet for Alice.

Then, she led Alice into the living room.

Mielle settled Alice on the sofa, handed her a thin blanket, and poured her a glass of hot water.

Although Mielle moved around the living room, Alice's gaze never left her.

Alice, who had just had a nightmare, was in a fragile state, apparently deeply scared.

Mielle sat down next to Alice, gently stroked her hair, and softly said, "Alice, don't worry, there are no demons in the academy."

"But I'm still scared. I dreamt that I fell into a demon academy, and I was so weak, and there was a terrifying demon chasing me, he was holding a purification card and saying that he would vaporize my blood..."

"..."

"Did this guy not return to the dorm today?" he muttered to himself.

He glanced at the books and notes on the table, then picked up a vial and examined it.

In the reflection on the vial, Dekan's face and his cold expression were visible. Although his appearance hadn't changed, his pupils had taken on a deep golden hue, and a horn had grown on the upper right side of his forehead.

It was completely different from his incubus form back at the Demon Academy.

Despite being a demon, he seemed to exude a supreme and sacred aura.

"So he fell asleep while conducting research in the lab? Well, that's good; at least he’s not obsessed with those shady pretty girl cards all day."

Although there was no smile on his lips, his tone seemed somewhat lighter.

Then, he gently placed the vial back down, stood up from the chair, and walked to the door of the laboratory.

The warm and gentle light outside seemed to make his eyes uncomfortable for a moment.

He hadn't expected to find a living room filled with signs of life outside, let alone other people.

His golden pupils immediately locked onto Mielle and Alice, who were sitting on the sofa.

"Huh?"

Both Mielle and Alice were the first to notice the "Demon Dekan" emerging from the laboratory through the door.

Mielle was initially puzzled, but then she instantly emanated a terrifying killing intent, shielding Alice and summoning a deep purple, crystal-glinting dagger into her hand.

Mielle's gentle and casual demeanor had completely disappeared and was replaced by a sharp gaze.

"Demon Dekan" looked at the two women. Although he had no hostile intentions, the sense of danger emanating from him, like the arrival of a demon king, made the air suddenly chill.

Just as "Demon Dekan" and Mielle faced off, Alice's nearly overloaded brain seemed to finally start functioning again.

Was this a dream?

Or reality?

She felt an endless wave of fear engulfing her, nearly suffocating her.

"Ah... Ah..."

Alice's expression gradually became terrified, her eye sockets turning redder.

She seemed to want to speak but couldn't control her vocal cords.

Her legs felt weak, and her body trembled violently.

Then her eyes rolled back and she fell unconscious.
