Hermione actually doubted the authenticity of the rumor.

From what she knew of Adele, she didn’t believe that Adele would be willing to degrade herself to that extent and become Dorothy’s pet.

Even in the past, Adele had never given Dorothy a good look, only enduring because of the huge power gap between them.

Resilience and unyielding spirit, two equally admirable qualities were rooted in Adele’s heart.

She was tough towards Dorothy.

But sweet and soft when she was with Hermione.

This was something Hermione had always been proud of.

 

She also wanted to tell Dorothy that just by looking at Adele’s attitude towards them, it was clear that, Princess, you had already lost from the beginning.

But tough as she was, Hermione also knew very well that when Adele was truly alone with Dorothy, she could only temporarily submit to ensure her own safety.

So it was more accurate to say that she came this time not to rescue Adele from being trained by Dorothy, but to protect Adele, who was forced to submit to Dorothy’s power.

To let her no longer be afraid, because Hermione was her support.

Even though Hermione had been punished by the school for similar reasons last time, she still recklessly released a large-scale ice magic.

She didn’t care about deducting credits or fines.

The academy’s punishments for vampire students were always more bark than bite, let alone for Sequence Ones.

 

For the same reason, the agreement signed between humans and vampires gave the internal order of the vampire race the power to override human laws.

 

The academy had become an autonomous region for vampires.

As long as it wasn’t a serious anti-vampire or anti-human act, humans couldn’t interfere too much in the order and rules within that autonomous region.

So Hermione didn’t care about the school’s punishment.

Instead, she planned to use this method to attract the attention of the academy’s higher-ups and get Adele out of trouble as soon as possible.

After the last competition, even the proud Hermione had to admit that she might not be Dorothy’s opponent.

Neither of them had gone all out, but a strong person’s sixth sense was undoubtedly keen.

 

Before the competition even ended, Hermione had vaguely sensed that she would lose in the future.

So this time, even if they fought again, Hermione might not win.

Since that was the case, it was better to make some noise and attract attention.

Hermione was not only thinking about herself, but also about Adele.

Otherwise, the proud Hermione wouldn’t be willing to lose to Dorothy with dignity. Of course, Dorothy wouldn’t have an easy time either.

Facing Hermione’s arrival, Dorothy wasn’t afraid, but turned around and provoked her.

This made Adele, who was caught between the two, the most anxious person present.

 

So…

She really just came out to have a meal with Dorothy!

Those rumor-mongers!

“Stop it, Dorothy!”

But Dorothy’s eyes were already filled with her opponent, how could she care about Adele’s calls and feelings?

She got up from her seat, the black pepper sauce on the steak in front of her had already frozen solid.

Even with the best teeth, it would probably be difficult to bite into this rock-hard steak.

 

Dorothy’s gaze was dark, flickering with blood-colored flowers.

She thought that Hermione would have to pay a heavy price for interrupting her lunch with Adele today.

Dorothy had never been to the academy cafeteria before.

So naturally, this meal was paid for by Adele with her meal card.

In other words – this was the first time Adele had treated her to something!

Even if it was just an ordinary and cheap steak, in Dorothy’s heart, it was far more precious than any delicacies.

And how could Hermione back down when faced with a battle-ready Dorothy?

 

The distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, each emanating a powerful magic that made people deeply uneasy.

Within a ten-meter radius around them, no student dared to stay, most of them fled the cafeteria in fear.

Only a small number of humans and high-ranking vampires remained, and judging from their appearance, they seemed to be looking forward to a good fight between the two.

The only exception was probably Adele, who was in the center of the battlefield but not affected at all.

Whether it was Hermione or Dorothy, they subconsciously controlled their magic to avoid Adele’s location.

It was like the windless zone at the center of a tornado.

Moreover, it was two powerful tornadoes about to collide, but still maintaining that small, conspicuous windless zone.

 

— They really… like her.

This thought appeared almost simultaneously in the hearts of all those who remained present.

And it aroused their envy and jealousy.

If they were asked to be Dorothy’s dogs, probably few vampires would be willing to refuse.

But Adele not only didn’t become Princess Dorothy’s dog, but her status beside Dorothy became increasingly equal.

For many vampires, this was something they were incredibly jealous of.

So perhaps it was precisely because of this mentality that some people deliberately spread those unbearable rumors about Adele?

 

As for the human students, they mostly thought that Adele was so lucky to be loved by these two outstanding girls.

But one thing remained unchanged.

They all thought that Adele didn’t know how lucky she was.

Only Adele herself didn’t think so!

How could this be considered lucky…

Receiving something should be a happy thing. To be liked by Hermione, to enjoy the Ice Queen’s care and pampering.

To gain Dorothy’s compromise, to gradually normalize and even become intimate with her, to see their relationship gradually improve.

 

Two happy things overlapped.

And these two happinesses brought her even more happiness.

What she should have received was a dreamlike happy time…

But why did it turn out like this?

Adele pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.

And when Winona arrived leisurely on her magic staff with the cat on her shoulder, it happened to be the moment when Adele’s suppressed emotions finally erupted.

It was originally a whisper that no one noticed.

 

“I told you two…”

But after the whisper, came an extreme outburst of venting and destruction!

— “Stop it right now!”

In an instant, Adele’s body became the center of a nuclear explosion-like shockwave.

A vast amount of magic power spread outwards, instantly lifting countless girls’ skirts and causing them to scream.

Winona had to divert her energy to protect the students present. After all, there were many human elites and high-ranking vampires among them.

But under Adele’s sudden outburst, it was difficult for them to react in time to protect themselves.

 

This was evident from the overturned and even cracked wooden tables and chairs around them.

If the alloy glass used for the cafeteria’s floor-to-ceiling windows wasn’t from the East and of good quality, it would have also shattered under the impact of this magic outburst.

Winona’s gaze deepened, and she couldn’t help but look at First Snow beside her suspiciously.

Looking at the kitten’s expression now, she was even more dumbfounded!

If Winona hadn’t caught the kitten’s chin in time, she really suspected that First Snow’s cute little chin would have dislocated from the shock!

If that happened, she couldn’t just go to an ordinary veterinarian, she would have to seek help from a doctor specializing in magical creatures in the magic world.

The trouble was a minor issue, the main thing was that it would be too embarrassing for a cat…

 

Damn it – why was Adele’s outburst using her magic power, meow!

Adele! Don’t you have your own magic power, meow!

But this also reflected from the side that First Snow’s body actually contained a gold mine of magic power, which came from her accumulation as a long-lived species for hundreds or even thousands of years.

She was like a silly kitten who was happy to pick up two grains of gold dust outside the gold mine every day and exchange them for cat treats.

She never thought about how to develop and spend the gold mine behind her.

As for Adele, she felt great after her outburst.

And she successfully stopped the fight between Dorothy and Hermione.

 

But Adele, what was the price?

The price was… she was back to square one, meow!

Her magic power was completely drained…

She wouldn’t be able to recover without a good cuddle with First Snow!

“Ha… ha…”

Adele gasped for breath, her legs weak.

Before she lost her strength and collapsed, Dorothy rushed to her left and Hermione to her right.

 

They both supported their beloved girl.

At this moment, an incredulous look appeared in both Hermione and Dorothy’s eyes.

They couldn’t understand why Adele, who was always weak and needed to rely on them to do anything, would suddenly…

But whether Adele was strong or weak, it wouldn’t affect her status in their hearts.

Because it was obvious that even though Adele’s all-out outburst was easily blocked by the two Sequence Ones, it meant that no matter how strong Adele was, she wasn’t as strong as them.

That was probably what Dorothy and Hermione were thinking at the same time.

Adele’s body suddenly weakened.

 

She felt like she had just finished ten rounds, her body suddenly felt incredibly weak!

Dizzy and lightheaded, as if she was about to faint.

But to be honest, it felt really good to release her magic power in that instant, like venting all her dissatisfaction.

So “releasing magic power” was equivalent to “climaxing”!?

But let’s not think about such strange questions for now.

Adele quickly entered character, biting her lip and putting on a pitiful expression as she looked at Hermione and Dorothy, who were concerned about her.

Their hands were so warm, gently supporting her body, giving her something to lean on.

 

“You… finally listened to me…”

The girl’s weak voice made Hermione and Dorothy’s hearts ache.

Tears welled up in Adele’s eyes, and her nose twitched.

“…I’m sorry, Adele, I didn’t notice your feelings…”

Hermione was the first to apologize to Adele. Her love for her wife was self-evident.

As for Dorothy, because she was a princess and had never apologized to anyone before, her lips were tightly closed, not knowing how to speak.

This put her at a disadvantage.

 

After a long time, she finally squeezed out a sentence.

“I shouldn’t have been so easily provoked by her.”

Hmph, insincere.

Adele deliberately tilted her head towards Hermione, leaning on her shoulder.

Dorothy: “…”

This was the consequence of not knowing how to coax your wife!

Winona watched Adele’s green tea performance from afar, her lips twitching slightly.

She put away her flying magic staff, storing it in a spatial ring that was even rarer than Adele’s. With First Snow sitting upright on her shoulder, she walked towards the three culprits who had caused the commotion.

“Dorothy, Hermione, and of course, you.”

Winona looked at Adele with a complicated expression.

“Come to my office.”

“Also, Adele, all the damages to the cafeteria today will be charged to you.”

“Why me!”

As soon as Adele heard about the bill, she instantly came back to life, at least mentally she seemed much better than before.

This made Dorothy and Hermione, who were worried about Adele, feel strangely relieved.

“Sob, I have no money…”

Adele tried to use the tactic of acting shamelessly and rolling on the ground on the principal!

But it seemed to have worked on Dorothy and Hermione instead.

Dorothy and Hermione both shouted, vying with each other,

“I’ll pay for the damages!”

“I’ll pay Adele’s fine!”

Then, Dorothy and Hermione looked at each other, and inevitably, sparks flew between them.

“Do you think you two can escape responsibility!”

Principal Winona stopped their argument with a stern voice.

Then, she naturally took the three suspects to her office.

First Snow flapped her wings and flew down from Winona’s shoulder, landing lightly on Adele’s shoulder.

“Meow~”

She acted cute towards Adele as usual.

It was a pity that Adele was currently heartbroken over her wasted magic power.

She didn’t pay much attention to First Snow.

………………

After the “cafeteria incident,” Adele’s title of “strongest Sequence Five” spread like wildfire.

After all, she was the one who single-handedly stopped the fight between two Sequence Ones in the cafeteria.

She became the new “legend” on campus!
