A Gentleman's Suitors!

Buzz—

Just as Mo Fan was about to lie down on the ground, the Little Loach Pendant around his neck started acting up.

"You want a soul this disgusting, too?" With no other choice, Mo Fan could only move toward the Scale-Skin Mother Demon's corpse.

Meanwhile, Lan Yu and Zhao Manyan were busy congratulating each other.

"I've got to hand it to you. When it comes to taming female demons, I'm no match for you," Lan Yu said suggestively.

"Of course, of course." Zhao Manyan lifted his chin slightly, looking quite pleased with himself. "I'm not bragging, but when it comes to dealing with female demons, I'm number one. No one dares claim second place."

"..."

Bang—

Suddenly, a loud crash rang out from the reinforced glass roof above the gymnasium.

Lan Yu and Zhao Manyan instinctively dodged to the side.

Along with the falling shards of glass came an Iron-Hoof Behemoth.

The Iron-Hoof Behemoth crashed down like a small mountain of flesh, shaking the entire gymnasium.

"My god, that was so freaking cool!" Zhao Manyan couldn't help exclaiming.

Standing between the giant horns atop the beast's head was a man dressed in a leather trench coat.

He was the beast's master. His gaze swept across the entire auditorium before finally settling on Mo Fan and the others.

"Charge in! Don't let a single Demon Beast escape!"

Not far away, a team of uniformed Hunter Mages rushed over. Some rode Wind Tracks, some used Earth Waves, while others wore Footwear Magic Tools...

At their head was a bald man who ran faster than the rest and soon reached the Cyan Iron-Hoof Behemoth.

"Where is she? Where's the Mother Demon?" The bald man looked around with a vicious expression.

"The Mother Demon is dead," the man atop the beast's head said.

"Dead? As expected of the Hunter King! We'd barely rushed in before you killed the Mother Demon... What a pity about those female students who were parasitized." The bald man first showered him with praise, then spoke with regret.

The Hunter King glanced at him. "They're all still alive."

At that, the bald man immediately looked around and spotted the many female students crawling out of the shed Scale-Skin left behind by the Cyan-Yellow Demonesses. Their faces were pale, and they were skin and bones.

"That kid killed the Mother Demon?" The bald man could hardly believe it.

The Hunter King nodded, then said, "Hurry and rescue them. Don't let them suffer any further trauma."

"Yes, yes!" The bald man hurriedly ordered the rescue team to protect the girls.

"Mo Fan, you jerk..." Little Lingling ran over, her face tense with worry.

"You... You're bleeding so much..." Lingling's eyes reddened.

She was still just a little girl, after all.

"Ohoho, what's the matter, little brat? Getting all teary-eyed?" Lan Yu couldn't help teasing her.

Lingling turned around and glared fiercely at Lan Yu. "Shut up!"

Seeing that, Mo Fan couldn't help grinning.

The rescue team soon sent a Healing Mage over to treat Mo Fan's injuries.

"Miss, am I going to be disfigured?" Mo Fan couldn't help asking.

"No. This kind of injury will heal before long." The woman smiled, then began treating him.

Of the three of them, Mo Fan was the most badly hurt, so it made sense to treat him first.

After healing Mo Fan, the Healing Mage treated Lan Yu and Zhao Manyan as well.

Their injuries looked serious, but in truth, they were nowhere near as bad as Mo Fan's.

"You're one lucky bastard to survive that," Zhao Manyan couldn't help saying.

"All right, go on. Don't forget my Lightning Spirit Seed," Mo Fan said.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Zhao Manyan nodded, then glanced at the wrecked auditorium. "With a Lightning Spirit Seed, you should be able to enter the Main Campus in great shape."

"The Main Campus?"

"You don't even know about that? Never mind, I'll explain..."

Zhao Manyan wasn't in a hurry to find Academician Li. Instead, he explained the difference between the Main Campus and the Green Campus to Mo Fan.

After all, he, Zhao Manyan, had delivered the final blow to the Scale-Skin Mother Demon, so he had no qualms about taking the lion's share of the credit.

The Scale-Skin Demon incident at the gymnasium spread like wildfire. After the break began, the four or five thousand students who had witnessed it firsthand turned it into all sorts of different stories, and the news media reported on it as well.

Anything that happened on campus always drew a great deal of attention, especially at a prestigious magic academy like Pearl Academy.

But the fact that a parasitic Demon Beast like the Scale-Skin Mother Demon had infiltrated the school wasn't really anyone's fault. There was little public blame; instead, people focused on how to handle and resolve the situation.

There had been casualties in the incident, but the number was kept below ten.

The victims' families received condolences and compensation from the government and the school, as well as donations from people across society.

Thankfully, someone had risked his life to kill the culprit, the Scale-Skin Mother Demon. Otherwise, the death toll would have exceeded ten.

At the all-school assembly, Academician Li summoned the three people who had made tremendous contributions during the incident.

The entire athletic field was packed with students. They were astonished that the person who had resolved the crisis was a Light Mage, but even more surprising to them was that one of those who had helped kill the Mother Demon was none other than Mo Fan of the infamous Summoning Element.

Ever since the freshman assembly, people had cursed Mo Fan day and night, right up until Mu Nujiao made her donation.

But today, they were expected to applaud him. It felt incredibly strange.

Main Campus, the man-made park.

"Hiss!"

Even with someone standing on his foot, Lan Yu couldn't fight back.

"You're pretty impressive." Ding Yumian withdrew her foot, her expression blank. "If it weren't for Momo, could you, a mere Intermediate Mage of the Light Element, have taken on so many female demons?"

"Meow~" The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in Ding Yumian's arms gave a soft cry. It really wanted to break free, but there was no winning against a woman.

Just look at how thoroughly its own master was under her thumb. A Summoned Beast at the Warrior level like it was truly pitiful—weak and helpless.

"Sorry, I was wrong. I absolutely won't do it again."

Although Lan Yu was quick to admit his mistake, whether he would actually change was another matter.

Ding Yumian sighed softly. She'd known Lan Yu wouldn't change. Being his big sister was such a hard life~

She had to be both a big sister and a mother...

"By the way, Sister Yu Mian, how about we move out together after this semester? There's something I want to give you." Lan Yu said.

Ding Yumian looked at him in surprise, then her face took on a teasing expression. "What? You're not even trying to hide it anymore?"

"I'm a gentleman," Lan Yu said solemnly. "Besides, a gentleman pursues a beautiful maiden."

"I'm not the only one, am I? I heard there's a female student in the Green Campus named Mu Nujiao. A lot of people apparently treat her like a goddess, and I remember you went to high school with her..."
