I’ll take you to see the preselection contest for my class first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a delayed response from those inside the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only reluctantly got off after being urged repeatedly by Dashiell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing them, there were noticeable changes in the appearances of Lucas and Adam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas touched the dog ears emerging from the top of his head with one hand, while awkwardly covering his rear with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his hipbone area, a black canine tail matching the ears had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas touched his ears in disbelief, feeling the soft yet real sensation in his hand, while simultaneously experiencing the ticklish sensation of having them touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black dog ears instinctively twitched, causing his dog tail to move along with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Lucas’ worldview seemed shattered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve really turned into a mystical creature... My sister has turned me into a Dog Demon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashiell looked at him and was clearly trying to hold back laughter, but still said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just an Eye-blocking Technique. After all, you’re entering the Academy filled entirely with Demons. Without a disguise, you wouldn’t be able to get in at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Dashiell reached out to pull Adam, who had been standing behind Lucas, out into the open,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, you should trust Scarlett’s handiwork!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s facial muscles twitched slightly. Did he not trust Scarlett’s handiwork?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trusted Scarlett’s handiwork too much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without firsthand experience, he wouldn’t have believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett had somehow turned him into a Bear Demon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a pair of semi-circular bear ears on top of his head, and not the animal ear headbands sold at amusement parks, but actual bear ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his shock, Adam also felt an inexplicable sense of shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally understood the tone in which Scarlett had said those words last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now regretted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Adam suddenly heard a clicking sound of a camera beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned abruptly to see Lucas retracting his phone after taking a picture, and Adam’s face immediately darkened,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Delete it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Lucas had calmed down and wasn’t bothered by the tail swaying behind him, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Adam, don’t be so stingy. Since we’re here, it’s a rare opportunity. How about we take a picture to post on social media?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wouldn’t dare!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam warned in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas ignored the warning, moving closer to Adam with his dog ears, and the two positioned themselves for a selfie with the Academy gate as the backdrop,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Adam, come on, give me a peace sign.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam glared at him expressionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas could only urge him, \"Come on, hurry up. After this, I still have to go inside and take more pictures. Don’t worry, look, Kingston said the little bear ears suit you perfectly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Kingston’s name, Adam’s expressionless face finally showed a trace of emotion, looking at his phone screen instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to see when Kingston had said that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas seized the moment and snapped a picture of the two of them, quickly sending it to Kingston, \"Sent it to him just now, he’ll definitely like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring his troublesome brother, Adam turned to the inside of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Scarlett was meticulously tying something onto Donovan’s wrist, while Donovan remained unchanged from his arrival, without any noticeable transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scarlett, why did we all change, but Brother Donovan didn’t have to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were you deliberately messing with the two of us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam didn’t dare to ask the latter part directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid she would admit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because even if she did, he wouldn’t have any recourse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully tying the red string on Donovan’s wrist, Scarlett stepped out of the car with him, then looked at Adam,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because this hand string woven from demon energy, I only have this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was made using a fox fur dropped by Aunt Ianthe Hearne, combined with her own Fox Demon energies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing it, Donovan naturally exuded the aura of a Great Demon from the Fox Tribe, eliminating the need for disguising like Lucas and Adam with energies from lesser demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You both are human, so generally demon energies can’t completely cover the scent on you, hence the need to disguise as Half-Demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This method of disguise was something Scarlett casually came across in the library records at the academy, found interesting and noted it down; Lucas brought it up yesterday, so she used it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why the choice was Dog Demon and Bear Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett previously dealt with little dog demon Tai Hei and fangirl bear demon Cassidy, researching each of them which left her with fur containing their energies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must say, the effect was pretty good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just that there aren’t many opportunities to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, you wouldn’t need to order a separate tail when cosplaying at a comic convention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter if Adam was satisfied with the disguise or not, Donovan was indeed quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After initially being awkward, Lucas quickly came to terms with his demon form and found taking two check-in photos insufficient, pestering Scarlett to reveal her demon form too for a picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett firmly refused to show them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas, dragging a companion along to use the Academy’s gate as a check-in point for various photos, easily attracted a lot of attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many at the academy recognized Scarlett, so her sudden appearance with some unfamiliar demons on campus didn’t garner much concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This contest was indeed semi-open, today included not only mystical creatures and Demon Masters, but also some external demons in the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these demons were sent by the Mystic Regulation Office instead of being parents of students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly to immediately gain control over any students found to be contaminated, preventing chaos within the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because nobody knew for sure, how many students contaminated with demon energy would be uncovered through today’s contest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Samuel and I have important tasks today, unable to accompany you throughout, so aside from Dashiell, I found more people to guide you in the Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although it is unlikely to encounter any danger in the academy, if any unexpected situation arises, remember to tear the Demon Talisman I prepared for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett instructed carefully once more, Donovan and the others didn’t come to add to her troubles, naturally promising one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas curiously asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis, you found us a bodyguard? Is she a demon too? Where is she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett was about to reply but noticed a familiar aura approaching, smiling slightly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she turned around, witnessing Cassidy approach them happily,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scarlett~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving, she immediately spotted Adam with his bear ears and winked at him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the Half-Demon Imp Sprite that Scarlett mentioned sharing the same origin with me? No worries, stick by my side today, big sis will take care of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said and raised a hand to pat Adam on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan, smiling, watched Adam’s expression of constipation, then asked Scarlett, \"You mentioned ’they,’ so is there anyone else besides her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett nodded, pointing behind him, \"Right here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan was taken aback, instinctively turning his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw another person had appeared behind him at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl around seventeen or eighteen, beautiful and bright-looking, gazing at him with slightly squinted eyes as if with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out, gently poking his cheek,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be Donovan, right?
