Chapter 162: The Academy Mission Board
“Speaking of which, Seraph,” Adele suddenly asked during breakfast.
“Will becoming a witch affect my thinking?”
“For example, this morning, I suddenly felt like pushing you down.”
“Although there’s also the factor of my feminine nature, I can clearly feel that my desires are much stronger than before.”
Adele’s intuition had always been accurate, and this wasn’t just intuition, she had experienced it herself.
Seraph actually thought that Adele should have noticed this earlier.
Otherwise, her preparations would have been meaningless.
The reason Seraph chose to create such an angelic body that conformed to human aesthetics was to help Adele’s witch transformation.
“Indeed, a mature witch must go through three stages.”
“Indulgence, Transcendence, and Mastery.”
“Most witches struggle to get past the first stage. During this process, you will be infected by the poison of lust.”
“Specifically, your libido will increase significantly, and you will easily be attracted to beautiful girls, losing your reason.”
This seemed to explain why Adele was suddenly attracted to Cha Keke. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be interested in celebrities or idols.
“Wouldn’t that turn me into a complete idiot controlled by my lower body!”
Adele was a little panicked.
“Don’t worry too much, just release it as much as possible.”
“Holding back is a big taboo, it’s easy to… as you humans say, go astray.”
So this was the reason why Seraph chose to create such a body for Adele to vent…
What a responsible angel…
But it was also because she woke up early and had nothing important to do at the moment.
“Just like the stage describes, indulge in it.”
“Only by indulging in it can you have the possibility of transcending it.”
“After transcendence, comes complete mastery.”
“By then, will I be stronger than you, Seraph?”
Adele couldn’t help but ask.
After Seraph’s explanation, her panic subsided a lot. Anyway, just like Seraph said, it was fine to release her desires as much as possible when she wanted to.
Hold back?
That word didn’t seem to exist in Adele’s dictionary.
Hearing this, Seraph showed a rare, gentle smile.
The angel seemed to be learning to express human emotions.
“By then, Adele will be able to fight alongside me.”
“…That sounds troublesome.”
But Adele had long guessed that Seraph’s purpose in turning her into a witch was to prepare for a certain day in the future.
As for what kind of day it would be, what kind of battles might erupt, Adele didn’t know.
The original novel only described the story of her and Dorothy dying together, it was probably just a part about vampires.
However, in this real world within the book, besides vampires, there were so many other races, ancient angels awakening in modern times, and an unknown Lord who didn’t know when He would descend.
Adele was just the heroine of one storyline.
She vaguely sensed the coming storm, but she didn’t have any grand ambitions or desire to shoulder responsibility.
She only hoped that when that day came, she could face it together with her harem and sail to the shore of happiness.
Just for this, Adele would try not to slack off and start working hard to become stronger.
Seraph said that when she fully mastered her witch powers, she would be able to fight alongside her.
The meaning was clear, her strength would probably be comparable to Seraph’s by then.
This was already amazing, considering that angels were an ancient species with unknown lifespans, having survived from thousands of years ago to the present.
They could basically be considered one of the strongest beings in this world.
Above them, it seemed that only the unknown “Lord” possessed unparalleled power.
Or maybe Adele was just ignorant, and Seraph, who knew some inside information, didn’t intend to tell her anything.
After all, Adele hadn’t fully grown up yet, some secrets were still too early for her.
“Anyway, just release it as much as possible when you want to do it, right?”
“I’m going to class now, I’ll leave the table to you, Seraph!”
Realizing that time was running out, Adele wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin and said to Seraph.
Seraph nodded slightly, indicating that she had received the message.
Although she was a noble angel, she had actually become Adele’s housekeeper and “stress relief tool”?
This would surely shock many people if they heard it.
………………
The uneventful classes ended smoothly, and Adele and Tang Linlang walked towards the student council office building to check the results of the interview.
The list of successful candidates would be posted, and Tang Linlang was particularly nervous.
She wasn’t sure if she had passed the interview. After all, the attitudes of some of the seniors who interviewed her… weren’t very good, but some were very enthusiastic towards her.
It should be because of Adele.
It seemed that no matter what organization it was, it would quickly split into hawks and doves.
For example, in the student council, the hawks were those who had a tough, even extreme, attitude towards vampires, while the doves hoped for peaceful coexistence.
Actually, before Tang Linlang’s interview, some hawk seniors had already taken a fancy to her because she was a descendant of a vampire hunter family and had a blood feud with vampires.
But in the end, Tang Linlang greatly disappointed the hawk seniors.
Because her friendship with Adele proved that she was also the kind of person who was easily swayed by the sweet talk of vampires and wasn’t trustworthy or worth cultivating.
The doves hoped to win over Tang Linlang and make her a representative of human-vampire coexistence, letting both humans and vampires see that even though there was a blood feud between the previous generation, the current generation could still let go of hatred and coexist.
So during the interview, in addition to answering the interview questions, Tang Linlang also triggered a debate among the interviewers.
Adele had left early last night because of a stomachache, otherwise, Tang Linlang would have really wanted to tell her about this in person.
But it wasn’t too late to tell her now, so Tang Linlang recounted what happened last night to Adele in detail.
“Those guys… forget about them. By the way, Linlang, what was Wen Weiran’s reaction to you?”
“Wen Weiran?” Tang Linlang was stunned when she heard the name, and it took her a while to react.
“Are you talking about the student council president, Adele!?”
“That’s her, the arrogant shorty.”
“Well… I don’t think it’s appropriate to say that.”
“What’s wrong with that? She’s a shorty, an elementary school student!”
“Not everyone can do whatever they want just because they have a big fist, she can’t shut everyone up.”
As soon as Adele finished speaking, she felt a chill down her spine.
Then she looked at Tang Linlang and found her expression strange.
“…”
There shouldn’t be such a cliché scene where the person being talked about was right behind them, right?
Adele broke out in a cold sweat and quickly changed her tune.
“But… but, you can’t judge a book by its cover, and you can’t measure the sea with a bucket. President Wen has earned the recognition and respect of the entire academy with her talent, even I, a vampire, have admired her for a long time.”
After she finished speaking, Tang Linlang couldn’t help but smile.
Feeling confused, Adele dared to sneak a glance behind her.
There was only the path they had come from and the faint sunlight, where was Wen Weiran?
“Linlang, you scared me to death!”
“I have to teach you a lesson today, I’m going to spank your bottom!”
“Hehe, Adele’s reaction was too funny, sorry, sorry!”
The two of them chased each other, finally arriving at the notice board where the student council announced the results.
A list of successful candidates was posted on it. Tang Linlang’s heart was beating fast, even Adele couldn’t help but feel nervous for her and silently closed her mouth.
The first one, no.
The second one, not…
They looked from top to bottom, their hearts sinking more and more.
Until the very end, Tang Linlang scanned it faster than Adele and suddenly shouted excitedly,
“I made it! Adele, I made it!”
“You made what… ahem, congratulations, congratulations! You’ve become a civil servant in the academy.”
Well, Adele’s teasing wasn’t wrong.
Student council members in Cromwell Academy were indeed considered half civil servants.
Although Tang Linlang was among the last few names on the list of successful candidates, her excitement didn’t diminish at all.
She took out her phone and took a picture of the list in front of her, preparing to send it to her father to make him happy too.
As for Adele, she turned her attention to the mission board next to it.
As mentioned before, in addition to the mandatory internship tasks, the school would also post some additional tasks from time to time.
Some were difficult and dangerous, with the risk of bloodshed and injury, such as assisting the Enforcement Bureau in capturing escaped foreign races.
Some were incredibly mundane, such as helping an academy teacher who was away on a business trip take care of their cat for a while.
Because these tasks could earn valuable credits, increasing the probability of being assigned to a good unit after graduation, many students were very enthusiastic about completing them.
And mundane tasks also had their benefits. For example, the student who helped the teacher take care of their cat received some alchemy materials and a clingy kitten.
There were also monetary rewards, which were very suitable for students who were struggling financially or needed to pay off debts.
Adele didn’t belong to any of these categories.
But she was just curious to see what kind of tasks were available in the academy now.
“Task 1: Retrieve missing lab specimen, bloodthirsty white mouse A.”
There were rumors in the city recently about white mice biting wild cats to death, could it be this one?
“Task 2: Provide clues about the missing cult leader, who is carrying a forbidden item. Please be extremely careful! Generous credit reward.”
Adele thought for a moment, she seemed to have a vague memory of it. The news said that around last week, the police raided a cult gathering and arrested many people.
So the leader had escaped?
And students were only required to provide clues about his whereabouts? Were they sure that Cromwell Academy students wouldn’t be a match for that leader?
It was terrifying, Adele prayed in her heart that she would never encounter such a lunatic.
As she continued reading, the following tasks became much more ordinary.
Then, when she reached “Task 7,” the task description caught Adele’s attention again.
“Task 7: In view of the large number of vampire students who will be attending Cha Keke’s farewell concert, we are now recruiting several concert order maintainers. Requirements: pay close attention to the movements of every academy student and exercise appropriate control. Interested parties, please contact the student council office, number: 13XXXXXXXXX”
Adele’s eyes lit up!
Forget about whether Celeste had managed to get concert tickets or not.
Wasn’t this a good opportunity to watch the concert for free!?
