“What! The Enforcement Bureau is offering me a mid-level agent position!?” Adele exclaimed with delight upon hearing the news from Headmistress Winona. This was a huge leap forward. Most students at Cromwell Academy, except for the elite Sequence One and Two students, could only hope to become a low-level agent after graduation, after much hard work, exams, interviews, and some...unconventional methods. And even then, they couldn’t relax. They would first be interns for one or two years, their performance determining whether they could become low-level agents. And low-level agents had to work for several years, constantly executing missions, before they had a chance to be promoted to mid-level agents.

But now Adele could effortlessly obtain such a position and enjoy all its benefits. It was a huge surprise.

Seeing Adele’s excitement, Winona suddenly felt that she didn’t need to say so much before. Just saying “The organization needs you” would probably be enough for Adele to happily join. Adele, as a transmigrator, had an innate desire to join an organization and get a stable job. This basically revealed where she transmigrated from.

“Headmistress, you’re not lying to me, are you!?” Adele still seemed a bit suspicious. After all, this was like a pie falling from the sky.

“Why would I lie to you...?” Although she said that, Winona did hide something from Adele. During the previous meeting, the elf True Ancestor Lislotte actually proposed offering Adele a high-level agent position, even prepaying her a year’s salary and providing full benefits. But Winona thought it wasn’t appropriate and offered her own opinion. From her perspective, although Adele’s power after receiving the True Ancestor’s energy did qualify her for a high-level agent position in the current Enforcement Bureau, she was still a student. Too high a position would be both stressful and demotivating. It was better to make her a mid-level agent, a compromise that was acceptable to all parties, while also giving her a goal to improve herself and serve the organization.

After a heated discussion, Winona’s proposal was adopted by the human high-ups, and Adele’s “high-level agent position” was downgraded to “mid-level agent.” Adele, completely unaware of this, might even thank Winona.

“Thank you, Headmistress!” See?

So Winona coughed slightly, feeling a bit guilty, and continued, “Alright, don’t get too excited. A mid-level agent’s life isn’t that easy.”

“Of course, we don’t require you to go on missions now. You just need to attend classes normally and do everything a student should do. Your salary will be paid as usual.”

“So it’s like getting paid for doing nothing...” Adele hurriedly covered her mouth, trying to hide her excitement. And it wasn’t time to celebrate yet. As long as the evil god in Teacher Victoria wasn’t eliminated, Adele couldn’t relax. Emotions were indeed the primary driving force behind Adele’s actions.

So she quickly calmed down and looked at Winona with determination, “I know what you’re worried about.”

“But Headmistress, and that elf big sister, don’t worry!”

“I only want to use this power to protect the people I like, the people who are important to me. I will never abuse it!” Adele vowed.

“Besides, I also have my own concerns...”

“How should I control this magic power that constantly surges through my magic circuits...?”

“But now, hearing that you’re going to give me special training, Headmistress Winona, I feel much more at ease.”

“I want to master this power! I also want to become stronger, no longer...” Images of past disasters flashed through the girl’s mind, making her grit her teeth and say firmly, “No longer as powerless as I was then!”

Winona could feel Adele’s emotions, and even she was moved. So she patted Adele’s shoulder and gave her a final reminder, “The special training might be very hard.” In her eyes, Adele was spoiled by those vampire girls. So although Winona was moved by Adele’s determination, she also doubted whether Adele would waver and give up halfway.

“I’m not afraid!”

“Now that the opportunity to become stronger is right before me, I have to consider if this is my only chance in this life...to rebuild the glory of a soft yet dominant partner, it’s my duty!”

“What ‘dominant partner’? I don’t understand what you’re saying...”

“It’s settled then. The special training should start tomorrow, lasting for three days. Your classes won’t be a problem, I’ll ask for leave for you.”

“Also, let your girls know you’re safe, especially First Snow! Don’t let that girl worry about you!”

Hearing this, Adele stuck out her tongue playfully, suddenly feeling like she was being reminded by her mother-in-law to treat her daughter well.

Then, as instructed by Winona, she sent a message to the group chat, saying that she would be staying at the Enforcement Bureau for training, with food and accommodation provided, so they didn’t have to worry.

The messages in Adele’s harem group chat instantly exploded, easily reaching 99+. Adele couldn’t read them all, but after a quick glance, she found that they were mainly concerned about her situation and the content of the special training. Of course, there were also expressions of reluctance and worry. Adele answered some of the important questions and even took a photo with Winona and posted it in the group chat with the caption: With the Headmistress here, there’s nothing to worry about!

Then Winona’s phone immediately rang. First Snow’s meows came from the other end. Winona was so angry that she wanted to rub First Snow’s head vigorously. She hadn’t even received a single call from First Snow when she was away on business trips for three days or a week, but she was so concerned [N O V E L I G H T] about anything related to Adele. How could Winona, the “cat owner,” not feel jealous?

Adele’s expression also became a bit strange at this moment. She suddenly wanted to stop First Snow from continuing to remind Headmistress Winona. Because the girl felt that...the more First Snow showed her concern, the harder the special training would be! Headmistress Winona, you wouldn’t take revenge, would you?

Winona: Hehe, guess~

Anyway, just like that, Adele became the second “Light of Humanity” after Wen Weiran, receiving immense resources and trust from humanity. It was just that Wen Weiran was privately called the “Sword of Humanity” because her unique ability theoretically had the potential to become a legendary “law of causality weapon,” as she possessed the powers of “Piercing” and “Never Miss.” “Piercing” went without saying. “Never Miss” meant that she was like the mythical Odin, wielding the legendary spear of destiny, Gungnir. Whatever she threw would definitely hit its target. Adele preferred to call her “Peerless Blade.”

As for herself, she was called the “Human Tangerine.” Don’t ask why...even Adele wanted to know! Why was she a tangerine when others were swords!? But nicknames were like that. The more you denied them, the harder it was to get rid of them.

And soon, Adele’s three-day special training began. Many people guessed that she wouldn’t be able to endure it and would quit halfway. And this was allowed. Those who knew her wouldn’t blame or look down on her for it. Because Adele was originally a delicate and soft girl. If she could endure it, it would be a miracle, admirable. If she couldn’t, it was also normal and wouldn’t be criticized.

Some even started a betting pool, betting on when the girl would give up. More than eighty percent bet on Adele giving up on the first day. Among the mid- and high-level personnel of the Enforcement Bureau who knew about this, the remaining bets were on the second and third days. Basically, only a few people believed that Adele could persevere until the end, and among them were Winona, who was in charge of Adele’s special training, the elf True Ancestor Lislotte, and Bureau Director Yashi...

Soon, the first day of special training passed. The second day passed. Adele didn’t stop, didn’t complain, didn’t back down. And the third day, under everyone’s countdown, finally came to an end. Adele went through hellish training and torture, undergoing an incredible transformation.

When she stumbled out of the treatment room, the entire Enforcement Bureau was in an uproar. This was the victory of human willpower. Adele finally overcame her laziness and procrastination, becoming a capable girl. It could be said that it was her desire to save Teacher Victoria and her regret at being unable to protect the girls she cherished that drove Adele to change, making her realize that she couldn’t always be the one being protected, taking others’ sacrifices for granted. She could also stand up and protect the people and things she wanted to protect.

Now, in her own words, she was “Grand Elementalist Adele, limited edition.” That’s right, the girl was confident that she had mastered various elements. With her magic refinement level at the initial stage of level twelve, she couldn’t compare to a True Ancestor, but below True Ancestor level, a one-on-one exchange shouldn’t be a problem! Although Hermione was the one with exceptional elemental talent, now Adele had unexpectedly surpassed her, making one sigh at the fickleness of fate. But Adele would definitely teach Hermione everything she learned about elemental magic without reservation.

After the training, Adele immediately took out her phone and reported the good news to everyone in the group chat. The girls instantly became excited, saying they wanted to hold a grand celebration. But the current Adele probably didn’t have the energy to organize a party or dinner, so she postponed it until tomorrow. As for Adele herself, she planned to go back to her dorm, have a good night’s rest, replenish her magic power and blood, and then make further plans. She hadn’t seen Xiao Ai and First Snow for three whole days... She wondered how lonely the little ones were. As for the other girls, Adele also missed them terribly. She would make it up to them later.

..................

In the Enforcement Bureau building’s underground parking garage, after replenishing her nutrients, Adele finally felt a trickle of magic power returning to her depleted magic circuits. Three whole days of special training, constantly replenishing, constantly being “squeezed dry,” constantly learning, constantly practicing...Adele was truly exhausted. In the end, when she was knocked down by the elemental spirit again, she almost lost consciousness, not knowing why she was pushing herself so hard. But it must be for something, otherwise, her body wouldn’t have struggled to get up from the ground and, relying on muscle memory, successfully dodged the elemental spirit’s attack and countered with the same attack, killing it instantly, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

At that moment, both Winona and the elf True Ancestor Lislotte looked at Adele with complicated and admiring expressions. And Adele’s eyes were unfocused, almost grayish-white, as if she were unconscious. After defeating the elemental spirit, Adele collapsed. Then came another round of “rescue,” with a senior agent with healing abilities helping Adele recover. And after recovering, the first thing Adele said to Headmistress Winona, who was guarding her, was... “I-I’m fine, I can still...continue training...”

Even Winona, who was always prejudiced against her, was moved at that moment. Adele had proven with her actions that she wasn’t the freeloading, good-for-nothing girl in Winona’s eyes, but a capable girl, even worthy of being entrusted with First Snow. Then, she reached out and gently stroked Adele’s hair.

“The special training is over. Your grade is S.”

“Congratulations, S-rank mid-level agent, Adele.” This was part of the story of “Grand Elementalist Adele.” Being praised and affirmed by Headmistress Winona...if Adele had a tail, it would be sticking up to the sky now.

“Get in the car, I’ll take you back to the academy.”

“Woohoo!” Adele shouted excitedly, skillfully getting into the passenger seat. Although Winona was initially a bit helpless, not expecting that her passenger seat, which had been empty for so many years, would eventually be occupied by someone like Adele, she had now come to terms with it. Perhaps Adele had a magical charm, a unique aura that subtly changed the people around her.

The car drove out of the underground garage. Looking at the sky she hadn’t seen for a long time, although it was already dusk, Adele was still mesmerized, until the sun slowly sank into the bright orange clouds. Then the girl suddenly asked, “By the way, Headmistress Winona...”

“Is there any news about Teacher Victoria recently?”

“Or have you found her!?”

“Unfortunately, the evil god’s ability to conceal herself is very strong. She also knows that her situation isn’t good and won’t appear rashly.”

“Ugh...okay.”

“But no matter where she’s hiding, I’ll find her, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground!”

Winona nodded, affirming the girl’s determination.

“Also, I have a question I’ve been wanting to ask you, Headmistress...”

“It’s about Ms. Lislotte.”
