The girl tasked with maintaining discipline was now in a daze. It seemed that...the thrill of breaking the rules was addictive. Edith blushed, at a loss for words in the face of Adele’s question. But after hesitating for a moment, she blatantly lied, “I-I think that appropriate same-sex relationships...are beneficial to physical and mental health, in addition to studying.”

“I will suggest to the teachers in the Academic Affairs Office that they ease the punishment for students in relationships...” Edith was so desperate to be intimate with Adele on campus that she was willing to change the school rules for her!

Adele was also speechless. Although such a rule, if implemented, would definitely be great news for the students, it was obvious that Headmistress Winona would never allow such a proposal to pass, let alone the more conservative members of the school board.

But Edith’s desire to be close to her had been conveyed to Adele’s heart. .

So she smiled shyly and happily, sticking out her tongue playfully.

“Silly, we just have to be discreet~”.

“In private, we don’t have to follow any rules~.” Saying this, Adele intertwined her fingers with Edith’s.

Edith knew this was sophistry, wishful thinking, but she still couldn’t help but indulge in it, slowing down her pace, wanting to prolong this moment. Adele also cooperated, lingering with her on the academy’s green path. It wasn’t until much later, when they reached a crowded area, that they tacitly separated their hands, but still walked together towards the grand hall, where the opening ceremony for this semester would be held. After the opening ceremony, the normal class schedule would begin.

Adele and Edith were in different grades and classes, so they reluctantly parted ways when they entered the hall. Adele wasn’t tall, so she stood on tiptoe cutely, looking for her class’s area. The girl’s eyes lit up when she finally found it. At the same time, a small, ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ fluffy white cat with golden wings also spotted Adele and pounced on her excitedly.

Besides First Snow, there was no other cat like this in the entire academy. Adele stumbled, catching First Snow, and muttered, “You’ve gotten heavier again, you must have eaten more canned food this morning.” The girl felt slightly helpless about having to carry the cat, unaware of how envious others were of her, the only one who could legally pet a cat during the opening ceremony!

From afar, Headmistress Winona also saw this scene, but only shook her head slightly with a helpless expression.

Adele naturally carried First Snow to her seat, ready to listen to the opening ceremony. It was worth mentioning that Tang Linlang’s seat happened to be to her left, just a little late. Seeing Linlang, Adele became very happy. Tang Linlang also blushed, enjoying the atmosphere of being with Adele. It was just that First Snow’s tail kept swaying and hitting the girl’s arm, distracting Tang Linlang.

After enduring for a long time, she finally couldn’t help but ask First Snow, “E-Excuse me, can I pet you?” Because First Snow wasn’t anyone’s property, she was a kitty with her own independent personality. That’s why Tang Linlang asked for her permission.

First Snow blinked her big, cat-like eyes. She looked at Tang Linlang, then at Adele. After receiving Adele’s silent approval, First Snow, decide for yourself, First Snow thought for a moment and placed her tail gently on Tang Linlang’s palm, meaning that only her tail could be touched. Other parts were too sensitive, not something a mere Tang Linlang could touch, meow! First Snow wasn’t that kind of casual kitty who let anyone pet her. So far, only Adele and Xiao Ai, who was very familiar with First Snow, could do that.

As they said, cats respected the elderly and loved the young. Respecting the elderly was debatable, but loving the young was true.

Although she could only touch the tip of her tail, for Tang Linlang, this was already a great honor, enough to make her feel satisfied.

Meanwhile, the academy’s opening ceremony officially began. Headmistress Winona took the stage to give a speech.

“Respected teachers, dear students...” Although her main identity was a legendary mage of the magical world, the current Winona was already familiar with such meetings, having learned and adapted to the rules of society.

Adele’s ears were practically closed to the Headmistress’s speech. She looked around, trying to find the other girls. Suddenly, Adele’s eyes lit up. Found them!

Celeste was in the first-year area, but far in front, in the same row as Adele, practically in a different world from her, a repeat student. The blonde girl straightened her back, then, as if sensing something, turned around, her eyes meeting Adele’s.

Adele smiled slightly and made a “steering wheel” gesture with her hands. The meaning was obvious, clearly referring to what happened in the parking garage last time. Celeste’s cheeks instantly flushed, and she turned back around, too embarrassed to face Adele for a long time. And Adele, having teased her golden retriever from afar, felt happy and continued to search for the other girls.

Hermione was easy to spot. After all, the Ice Queen was stunning and elegant. Edith, as the president of the Black Feather Society, was maintaining order in the hall along with the Student Council members, so she was also easy to find. Then there was Sharon. Finding her wasn’t as difficult as before. A long time ago, Sharon had short, silver-gray hair, always hunched over listlessly and hidden in the crowd. It was hard to find her, and probably no one wanted to. But now, she had regained her glory as Sequence One, becoming outstanding and dazzling. And all this was thanks to Adele, who untied her heart knot, opened her heart, and gave her confidence.

So even though she didn’t notice Adele’s gaze, just seeing Sharon’s growth from afar was enough to make Adele feel satisfied. The only imperfection was that Dorothy seemed to be absent from the opening ceremony for some reason. So Adele felt like she was missing a wing, slightly concerned. Could it be that Dorothy hasn’t returned from the vampire ancestral land yet?

Worried, Adele slowly retracted her gaze and started petting the cat to relax. The opening ceremony quietly passed while she petted the cat.

Then, classes began as usual.

It was worth mentioning that starting this semester, magic training would become a regular weekly class for Adele, and its importance had greatly increased, almost on par with the main subjects. And a new subject meant a new teacher.

Everyone was curious about who their new magic training instructor would be. Adele was no exception.

And so, after much anticipation, the identity of the magic training instructor was finally revealed. To Adele’s shock, it was...

“T-Teacher Victoria!” That’s right, Victoria, the ancient god-level legendary mage who walked out of the ancient ruins. Adele couldn’t understand. Wasn’t it a waste of talent to have such a great being teach magic to first-year freshmen!?
