Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 269 - 257 Lanci is clearly a pragmatic person_1

"Why did you stop talking?"

"...I need to read more before I can make an objective evaluation of Miss Talia."

Lanci was wary of bursting Hyperion’s bubble, just by the mere thought of Talia sitting in an armchair, reading newspapers, sipping tea, and nibbling on snacks.

She was indeed unlike other demons, her biggest desire was to eat. She managed to conceal this from other demons due to her princely dignity and restraint, hence in their eyes, she was an invincible Holy Demon, void of any demonic weakness.

Actually, now that she had assumed the unknown human identity "Tata" in the Capital of Hutton, she had let herself loose every day.

Blissfully ignoring her demonic nature.

God, he must never let Talia find out that he knew she was Talia.

Otherwise, if she felt embarrassed, she would probably bring him down with her in order to silence him.

Still, it was fine as long as she didn’t bring a few demons, whom she knew well from the Great Demon Clan, back to the South Continent to observe her laid-back new life. She probably wouldn’t feel too embarrassed, then.

"Is it acceptable to express admiration for Demon Race?"

Lanci asked, confused.

The current era was marked by prejudice against different races, which had seemingly reached its peak.

"Are you going to report me?"

Like Talia, Zestira’s questions rarely carried a tone of inquiry.

"No."

Lanci and Frey always enjoyed discussing dangerous topics.

"Then there’s no problem."

Either way, she trusted Lanci now and had no intention of hiding anything from him. Just like her father, she believed trust was essential when it came to individuals.

"Yes, I admire Talia, but no one knows whether she is still alive or where she is now."

Zestira expressed a rarely seen regret.

"If she was safe and sound now, what would you want to do?"

Lanci had his hands on the book cover, deeply musing.

Strangely enough, ever since he came to the Northern Continent, his life coincidentally seemed to replicate his early encounters with Talia.

"Alright, let’s talk about matters within the school."

Zestira interrupted Lanci in an attempt to change the subject.

Their talk about the holy war ended there, as Zestira felt that Lanci’s exposition was more dangerous than the topic she raised.

Zestira gazed out of the window, the quietness broken only by the low rumble of the train on the tracks. The silhouettes of the mountains were immense and enchanting, distinct in form, while specks of light dotted it like fireflies.

She pondered for a moment.

"Once we get to the school, be very careful. There are safe zones within the school that are protected by enchantments, where no one can fight. There are also areas with rules where fights between students of the same level are allowed, followed by completely unrestricted dangerous areas. Anything that happens in these areas is not subject to legal responsibility. You will sign a clause when we process your follower procedures, so this is a heads up. Absolutely do not inadvertently enter a non-safe zone, even if you are provoked. Don’t fall for it."

Zestira emphasized.

Rocky was very weak, since she took him, she is responsible for his safety.

"Also, besides the weekend, you can’t leave school. If a student does not return to school before Monday, they will lose a lot of credits, and if followers do not return before Monday, they will not be able to enter the school until the following weekend."

She added another point.

This was a basic rule of the school.

"I understand."

Lanci nodded in confirmation.

Managed under controlled conditions, that’s good.

"Are the schools on the South Continent the same as this?"

Zestira felt puzzled as to why Lanci accepted the school rules so naturally, as if he didn’t find the school uncomfortable at all.

She heard that the educational climate on the South Continent is relatively peaceful and friendly.

"The schools on the South Continent, well, the whole school is a safe zone. Students don’t fight in the school and they are allowed to go out anytime. There was a guy who bunked school and spent a week in a casino before the dean caught him. Also, students can get many vacation rewards for completing the Shadow World challenges and public service activities. If one fails a class, they won’t be expelled but a hearing will be convened to discuss the study plan for the next semester with the Education Department, the school and the student. It might lead to reduced course loads for the student and delay in graduation, and such."

Lanci shared his experiences from his half-year stay at Ichrite with Zestira.

"Are you kidding? Is there really such a school?"

Zestira felt Lanci was playing with her.

"Indeed, I also feel it’s quite miraculous, very lax."

Lanci crossed his arms in agreement.

The Purgatory Corridor Academy is indeed the coolest school.
