In Winona’s office, Adele looked utterly dejected. Dorothy and Hermione assumed she was just uncomfortable being in the principal’s office for the first time to receive punishment.

After all, in their eyes, Adele had always been a hardworking and outstanding student.

Good students never received punishments from the school, let alone personal criticism from the principal.

It was understandable that she would think of this as a major catastrophe.

However, in reality, Adele was simply distressed about her lost magic power.

It was gone… really gone…

Back to square one, Adele couldn’t help but feel dizzy.

 

This feeling of going from strong to weak was not pleasant.

It even led her to develop some twisted thoughts.

She had to find a way to absorb more magic power from First Snow, Celeste… even Hermione and Dorothy!

In a sense, Adele’s power was a high-end version of the “Star Absorption Technique.”

After all, the Star Absorption Technique could only absorb but not use, while Adele could use the magic power she absorbed.

Although she wasn’t very proficient in using it yet.

Her first use was a “self-destruct” type of waste.

 

The power was indeed great, but it wasn’t concentrated, causing the power to spread out in all directions, evenly distributed.

If she could learn to concentrate all this magic power on one point, mastering it to the peak, then the power of that move would probably make even Hermione and Dorothy afraid to face it head-on.

So, the Lust Witch’s ability to steal magic power from others was really suitable for someone like her who was good at and liked to “reap without sowing.”

“Adele, pay attention.”

Winona’s slightly stern tone brought Adele back from her dejection.

Compared to Hermione and Dorothy, perhaps Winona was the one who could better guess Adele’s thoughts.

After all, she already knew Adele’s true nature of self-interest, while the two Sequence One vampires were still unwilling to believe it.

 

Winona thought that Adele was either worried about how to compensate for the damage to the academy cafeteria or feeling sorry for the waste of her magic power.

The former already had Hermione and Dorothy, two suckers, willing to pay for her.

Therefore, it could only be the latter.

Even First Snow realized that it was her magic power that had been used.

As a legendary mage, the principal of Cromwell Academy, and First Snow’s close friend for many years, how could Winona not feel it?

Moreover, she had dealt with witches far more than Adele imagined.

Therefore, Winona was almost certain that Adele had become a witch.

 

Actually, she had been aware of this for a while, but at that time, she was willing to believe Adele’s lies, believing that she had contracted the witch’s aura from “being with Li Lige.”

At that time, wasn’t Winona also trying to cover up Adele’s witch identity?

But now Adele’s exposure was too blatant, forcing her to confirm it.

The only question left was what kind of Origin Quality she possessed as a witch.

Was it “Envy,” “Greed,” “Gluttony”… or “Lust”?

The first three attributes were fine, after all, the magic world was very tolerant of witches, unlike the mundane world.

But if it was “Lust”…

 

That would be big news in the magic world.

Because the witch of this attribute… in short, was very terrifying.

The view formed in the magic world since ancient times was that the great disaster caused by the “Lust Witch” must never happen again.

Among the witches born from the Seven Deadly Sins, only this witch was a taboo that everyone in the magic world avoided.

There was even a legend that the Origin Quality of “Lust” was the source of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The other six sins were born from it and prospered because of it.

All the disasters throughout history were caused by it.

 

If a major villain were to appear now, the most fitting identity for this villain would be—

—The Lust Witch.

Adele probably didn’t realize that she, a righteous heroine, was walking down a path that would lead her to become…

Oh, the destined villain!

Who could she complain to about this!

“I… I understand.”

Adele replied in a low voice, her head lowered.

 

Next came the usual lecture. Although the principal’s main profession was a mage, she had gradually been assimilated by the education profession. Her criticism was well-organized and reasonable, making it impossible to refute.

For a long time, the three of them, including Dorothy and Hermione, could only respond to the principal’s questioning with “Mmm… mmm,” “I won’t do it again… I understand.”

Although they felt unhappy, they couldn’t find any reason to refute.

First Snow almost fell asleep, curled up on Winona’s desk. The principal petted the cat while reprimanding them.

It made Adele’s hands itch.

In the end, the punishment was decided. Dorothy and Hermione would share the cost of compensating for the damage to the cafeteria.

Winona even waited for the staff from the academy’s finance department to arrive and threw the damage assessment list in Adele’s face.

 

Adele: ???

Adele: They’re paying, why give it to me!

So this little minx had forgotten that she was the one who caused the trouble!

“Adele, write a 3,000-word self-criticism. You’re not allowed to ask anyone for help. Record the entire process of writing the self-criticism and send it to my email!”

“You can find my email address on the academy’s official website.”

“No way!”

Unfortunately, Principal Winona didn’t want to hear her excuses and waved her hand, signaling for the two Sequence Ones to take her out.

 

Also, she had found a way to deal with Dorothy and Hermione.

She said to the two noble vampire princesses,

“If you cause trouble again in the future, I might not care about you, but Adele will be punished for you.”

“Why!”

“I can’t accept that.”

Dorothy and Hermione almost simultaneously raised their objections.

“Because I’m the principal of the academy, you have to accept it whether you like it or not.”

 

“Go ahead and complain if you want, let’s see if the human higher-ups will believe you or me. Go ahead and report it to the magic world, let’s see if they will side with me or you!”

“In other words, the referees and judges are all my people, what can you do to fight me?”

“…”

“…”

What a hopeless situation.

Even Dorothy had to admit that unless they invited a True Ancestor level figure, within Cromwell Academy and even the magic world, Winona had absolute authority.

In the past, Winona would let go of vampire students whenever possible, trying to compromise with them and let their internal order run naturally without forceful intervention.

 

But after the incident with First Snow and Adele, she began to think about what Adele had said.

Were the tragedies that happened to Adele and many other vampire students caused by her negligence as a supervisor?

So from today onwards, she would try to establish new rules with the student council, so that vampire students who were bullied by high-ranking vampires would also have the right to complain and seek justice, just like human students.

Therefore, although Adele’s initial intention might have been to seek her own legitimate interests, the result was that she inadvertently promoted the progress of student management at Cromwell Academy.

In fact, it was the same in reality. If you encountered injustice, you must bravely appeal. Without pioneers, there would be no followers.

If everyone remained silent, the result would be intensified oppression.

Adele: “Well said, but what does that have to do with punishing me for Dorothy and Hermione’s mistakes!”

 

Adele: “You’re just using your power to get revenge on me, aren’t you!”

Perhaps there was some truth to that.

But more importantly, Winona’s reforms, for now, could only be gradual.

First, seek justice for Sequence Four and Sequence Five vampire students, provided that the bullying they suffered came from Sequence Three and Sequence Two vampires.

But in reality, even Winona couldn’t withstand the immense pressure to punish Sequence One vampires.

She could only prescribe the right medicine.

As for Hermione and Dorothy, since you care so much about Adele, then be good students and don’t cause trouble.

 

Although this was a bit unfair to Adele, reform was never achieved overnight, there would always be sacrifices and mistakes along the way.

In view of Adele’s contribution to restraining the two Sequence Ones, Winona would also discreetly conceal her witch identity.

Therefore, this was a very worthwhile deal for Adele.

Also, First Snow, who had fallen asleep on Winona’s desk, was woken up by a pat on her butt.

“Meow!?”

 

First Snow looked at Winona with dissatisfaction.

Winona gave her a look.

 

First Snow immediately understood and flew towards Adele, who was leaving the office with Dorothy and Hermione.

If you’re unhappy, just pet the cat to calm down.

That’s probably what Principal Winona thought.

………………

At some point, a light and graceful kitten landed on Adele’s shoulder.

Adele scooped her into her arms, petting and rubbing her to relieve the stress in her heart.

“Meow~”

 

First Snow didn’t dislike such intimate actions.

It was just that the two older sisters beside her had strange looks, so First Snow burrowed further into Adele’s arms.

“The principal’s Cat-Bird.”

Dorothy said with a flat expression.

Hermione, on the other hand, looked eager to try, wanting to reach out and touch First Snow’s fur.

She looked at Adele, who was looking depressed.

Although she was annoyed, Adele immediately noticed Hermione’s thoughts.

 

“…Do you want to pet her?”

“You should ask First Snow about that.”

First Snow was a kitten with her own independent personality. Neither Principal Winona nor Adele could force her to do anything she didn’t want to do.

 

“First Snow?” Hermione nodded.

“Excuse me, First Snow, may I pet you?”

Hermione asked politely, lowering her posture, her silver hair cascading down as she bent over.

Although she was noble, she didn’t have the usual arrogance of a Sequence One vampire. It was just because of her cold personality that she seemed unapproachable, leading to rumors of her being cold and ruthless.

 

But in reality, she was a gentle person at heart.

Whether it was towards Adele or First Snow.

And Hermione occasionally had the characteristics of an ordinary girl, liking fluffy and cute creatures.

First Snow’s tail wagged.

This meant that the kitten was thinking.

After a while, she let out a soft “meow.”

For Hermione’s beauty, she would let this older sister pet her, meow~

Hermione got her wish and petted the kitten.

Dorothy bit her lip and looked away.

She was clearly jealous.

If it was the usual Dorothy, she would have already taken First Snow by force.

But because Adele was right beside her…

She… didn’t want to do anything that would make Adele sad anymore.

So, she was the representative of those who hadn’t received a good education and had been spoiled and become arrogant and stubborn.

Her personality was already bad enough, and Dorothy had to endure those indescribable and incomprehensible sounds and languages from another world day after day.

 

To be honest, it was admirable that Dorothy had managed to hold on until today without going crazy.

First Snow only allowed Hermione to touch the small comfort zone on top of her head. As for other parts, as soon as Hermione showed any intention, First Snow would immediately burrow into Adele’s arms, seeking her help.

“First Snow is very shy.”

“It’s okay.”

Hermione slowly withdrew her hand. Compared to Dorothy, she was already very satisfied.

The three of them left the office together and walked along the forest path in the academy.

Dorothy and Hermione both looked like it was only natural.

But Adele, who was caught between them, soon couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Don’t… don’t you have anything else to do!”

“You’re still following me, it’s embarrassing…”

“And people are staring at us all the way… Hey! No taking pictures!”

Adele complained while stopping a passerby in the distance.

Dorothy waved her hand gently, and magic power wrapped around flying flower petals, instantly destroying the camera lens of the sneak photographer.

That was at least a four-digit loss.

The sneak photographer instantly broke out in a cold sweat and collapsed.

What if those flower petals had grazed her body?

So, forgetting about the loss, she should probably thank the princess for sparing her life.

Except for a few Sequence One vampires and even more powerful blood nobles, probably no one in the vampire race wouldn’t instinctively feel fear and subservience when facing Dorothy, right?

 

They probably thought that whatever the Vampire Princess did to them was her right, and they were powerless to resist.

So far, only Adele had defied this ingrained thought.

And because of this, Dorothy was even more infatuated with her.

After dealing with the sneak photographer, Dorothy turned around and said frankly,

“I have nothing else to do, Adele, I want to be with you.”

“Please stop bothering Adele, Your Highness.”

Whenever Hermione used honorifics, it was mostly sarcasm.

“Didn’t you see that Adele’s face has turned pale because of your presence?”

“Are you sure it’s not because it’s too cold being near you? Ice Queen.”

They each held one of Adele’s arms, and as their words became more intense, they pressed closer and closer together.

It was a dispute that started because of Adele, but now the two of them seemed to have completely forgotten about Adele’s existence.

It wasn’t until First Snow let out an anxious “meow meow” that Dorothy and Hermione realized that Adele hadn’t made a sound for a long time.

Looking down, they found that Adele was practically flattened between them, her eyes rolled back, and her pink tongue sticking out.

On both sides of her were their ample and perky chests, squeezing her tightly in the middle.

It was the first time Adele experienced the feeling of being suffocated by the scent of milk.

It was sweet, but a little… suffocating!

“So, both of you… get off me!”

“Shouldn’t you be asking for my opinion on this matter!”

“You’re only concerned about your own argument, you don’t care about me…”

 

Adele’s voice was full of grievance.

She pushed away Dorothy and Hermione at the same time and picked up First Snow, who was circling around her feet.

“First Snow, let’s go!”

“We’re not going to pay attention to these two bad women anymore!”

Adele found an excuse to run away.

Otherwise, favoring either Dorothy or Hermione would lead to the other’s dissatisfaction and entanglement.

As for the answer of “I want both,” sorry! Adele was still a pure girl!

A “threesome” or something…

Was too stimulating for her now!

So – no way!
