"Heh heh, a demon slave... no, a member of the Demon Race serving as a third-level instructor—this is a first for the academy as well, Instructor Dao Tian. You must cherish the opportunity the academy president has given you and make sure you don't disappoint everyone." The president of the Extreme Spirit Academy, Qun Qing, let out a cold laugh.
It seemed this fellow still found me an eyesore. After all, I had gone directly from student to instructor, and my rise had been far too fast.
The several branch presidents also wore various expressions, though there was more scrutiny than regard in their eyes.
The only exception was President Wei Geng of the Skyveil Academy, who seemed to think highly of me. After all, I was under the Skyveil Academy's banner.
The Skyveil Academy was not one of the Eight Academies, yet it coordinated and governed them all. It was a branch academy that both existed and did not exist.
"My Skyveil Academy intends to change the rules established by the academies in the past. After all, the demon-slave system has grown somewhat outdated on the present continent. The rise of the Demon Race in other academies is hardly a recent development. Although our Skyveil Island and the academies on the continent lack a geographical advantage, we cannot cling to old ways and shut ourselves off. We still have to follow the continent's situation closely and make some changes." As he flew toward the main academy's conference hall, Wei Geng spoke words that left several branch presidents stunned.
"President, do you mean that demon slaves can be treated the same as ordinary human students?" Qun Qing hurriedly asked.
"Heh heh, not only that. I intend to follow the example of the other continental academies and establish a Ninth Academy.
