<h4>Volume 7 Chapter 402: The Secret Exchanging Of Blows Inside Princess An’s Private Mansion</h4>


    Trantor: The Light


    Edits by Grandia


    Inside the dorms at the central campus of Antote Academy, Be was undercover as a maid as she followed Princess An to her room. As the second princess of the Aldridge Empire, she was highly regarded within the academy. Although she was not the president of the Student Union, she was one of the many vice-presidents and was in charge of the central campus. Each of the five campuses of Antote Academy was managed by a vice-president and they were technically on the same level as the actual Student Union President.


    The central campus of Antote Academy was simr to Frank Civilian Academy, where they specialized in developing “wandering poets” – who were basically philosophers. The entire Other World in this dimension was filled with these “wandering poets” and the most useless of the lot came from the central campus. The students here were only in school to get by.


    Princess An was no exception. She was more powerful than the third princess – the “Third Chapter of Taboo” Princess Effie, and was second to the first princess – the “First Chapter of the Sky” Princess Eveny. Among the members of the Aldridge Empire’s royal family, she was technically ranked second. Even with the addition of the hidden top expert, the sixth Princess Ariel of the Renegades, Princess An would still make it into the top three. This meant that she did not attend Antote Academy to further develop her skills and she was merely there to waste time.


    ???


    Antote Academy was mainly for the rich. Although not all the students were nobility or from rich families, at least sixty percent of the students were well-to-do; the remaining forty percent were regr students. The interior of the academy was elegantly designed. In fact, in some areas, the decor was even more opulent and intricate than Olsylvia Academy’s nobility branch – Filomena Nobility Academy, and was even more extravagant than Euphemia Imperial Academy.


    Olsylvia Academy would attempt to bridge the gap in status between students and would usually not allow the rich students to get away with everything they wanted. On this side, Antote Academy did not ce any restrictions on students who wanted to unt their wealth. The academy’s atmosphere was extremely materialistic and was definitely a rich man’s world. Life in the academy was no different from being in society outside.


    Along the way, Be could see grand buildings and all sorts of opulent entertainment facilities. It almost seemed as though she was back on Earth, in Dubai. Anything you could think of as entertainment within the Human Continent could probably be found here. If not for the difference innd size, it would beparable to Madix City, the capital of the Manasvir Empire. The luxury student apartments here were even more extravagant than those within Olsylvia Academy. Back there, there were still shared dormitories while inside Antote Academy, the mansion district was essentially a dormitory on its own. Each student was assigned to their own small mansion and were allowed to bring their own servants as well.


    Other than servants and housekeepers, they could even bring their personal guards and there was no limit to the headcount as long as they paid the required additional fees. ording to the rules, guards that carried weapons were only allowed within their owner’s assigned property. However, for a much higher price, their owners could be allowed to have up to three guards shadowing them.


    Be truly did not dare to agree with the atmosphere within Antote Academy where the rampant ostentatious unting of wealth, materialism, constant power struggles, and using of others to achieve their own ends could be seen everywhere. In fact, this arts school did not even set up a disciplinarymittee at all, which meant that they had no intention of solving any of the disciplinary issues within the academy at all. Those who unted their wealth and those who resented the wealthy had secretly been at loggerheads for a long time. Every so often, a fight would ur.


    Although Antote Academy had stepped up their security, the guards were not all-powerful. The student’s personal guards were usually responsible for their own safety. Since the school could only activate a limited number of guards, priority would often be given to the areas where the wealthiest students lived and they would not bother with the regr students.


    As Antote Academy was severely prized, the atmosphere was thick with danger. The perfection of this arts school merely existed on the surface. Underneath that beautiful facade, there was all sorts of hidden darkness that only those who have experienced life within the academy would understand. There was too much of a disparity between the regr students and the wealthy students. In fact, the regr students were the only ones who would pick up customers at the academy’s gates.


    As regr students did not have much money, they had no choice but to participate in such activities that could provide them with easy money. The dormitories that they lived in were all extremely small houses, which was worlds apart from how Princess An and the other wealthy students were treated. Unlike regr students, Princess An and the other students like her would never participate in any of those special transactions. The dormitory area that they lived in was basically luxurious mansions. Each student had their own mansion that came with various recreational and entertainment facilities such as gardens and swimming pools. It would not be wrong to consider it an area where the rich gathered at all.


    Fortunately, there was a special branch for regr civilians within Olsylvia Academy. President Britney of Frank Civilian Academy’s Student Union had as much authority as the other student union presidents. Over there, the rtionship among the civilians, the nobility, and the royalty, was rtively bnced. On the other hand, Antote Academy did not care about this at all and allowed the disparity between the wealthy and the regr students to grow even further without doing anything to mediate the situation.


    As Antote Academy was not considered as part of the Human’s twelve famous academies, they were always invited to the Twelve Academy’s union battles as a guest to help with the logistics and to cheer the other schools on. This meant that even the Imperial Union would turn a blind eye to the chaos that was happening within Antote Academy. Unless things had gone out of control, the Union would not step in.


    Each year, Antote Academy was the Imperial Union Conference’s most generous sponsor and would donate much more than the other twelve academies. Since they would receive so much in gold, naturally, the Union would choose not to interfere with Antote Academy. At the moment, there was nothing that Be could do either. Unless they were part of the Twelve Academies, it would not be possible for the higher ups to make any changes.


    Princess An lived in an extremely luxurious mansion that stood upon arge expanse ofnd. It was a three story mansion with a private swimming pool and garden. Other than Princess An, her battle maids lived here with her as well. Unlike the other girls, she did not seem to prefer male maids or housekeepers. Instead, she simply brought her own battle maids when she arrived at Antote Academy and did not bother to bring any personal guards along.


    There was a reason for her confidence. After all, Princess An was a high level Mage. Most of the girls here who did not have anybat abilities. When facing an enemy, they only had two options – surrender or run. Inparison, Princess An would definitely put up a strong fight. The tension was palpable inside the student residential area. When Be and Princess An arrived, they were met withrge amounts of heavily armed guards.


    As Princess An was both a Student Union Vice-President and a princess, she was easily recognized. This meant that none of the guards on patrol woulde up to interrogate them. Although the guards were curious about Be, that strange maid, none of them dared to approach them to ask any questions. The academy was filled with wealthy and highly influential students and they could not afford to offend them at all. In fact, this was the case for the maids, servants, and housekeepers that belonged to such students.


    Since Be’s true identity was the Sacred Demon God Samantha, it was extremely obvious that her appearance and aura was not a maid’s. After all, she was a queen. Even if she was wearing a conservative maid’s outfit, she would not be able to hide the way she carried herself. However, if Princess An, her mistress, did not suspect anything, it would not be appropriate for outsiders to say anything. All they could do was to pretend that they had not seen anything and y along with their performance.


    “Princess An, security here is way too tight. Haven’t we already arrived in the safe zone?”


    “Be, it’s not like that. Normally, there would not be this much security on high alert. However, since school started, the academy has not been too peaceful. I suppose you have not heard anything like this before.”


    As they walked, Be tried to chat with Princess An. Surprisingly, both of them got along quite well. After learning Be’s name, Princess An did not really care that Be did not speak with deference like a maid should. She seemed to have silently epted her “impolite” ways and spoke to her as though they were friends, almost as equals. For some strange unknown reason, Princess An seemed to have taken a liking to Be.


    This was one of the Demon God’s natural hidden attributes which allowed them to gain the favor of any pretty girl around them. Since Be did not know that her original form had such a hidden attribute, she was now flirting unintentionally. Princess An said many things to Be, including how she was unhappy with the royal family’s marriage arrangement and how she did not have any feelings for Chairman Carlos of the Golden Legend Society.


    Carlos was not too bad of a person, just unsuitable. Princess An always admired the strong and powerful, especially those who could use brute force. On the other hand, Carlos was the heir of a sessful businessman whocked physical strength and was not even able to reach the level of a regr junior Mage. This was mainly the reason why Princess An had once again rejected the thought of this political marriage.


    Other than that, Be had managed to find out why the entire residential area of the Antote Academy was under such tight security. Apparently, since school began, “midnight perverts” had been spotted within the academy that specifically targeted the girls who did not have anybat abilities at all. Those perverts not only robbed them of their valuables, some of those girls had lost all their clothes as well. Since they had been leftpletely naked, the girls had no choice but to run back naked in broad daylight. That psychological trauma would probably scar them for life.


    None of those girls had said anything about what had happened, which meant that until now, no one knew if the girls had been sexually assaulted. After Princess An got changed, she was supposed to pay a visit to the Dragon Princesses from Alessandra Academy next door. As her newly appointed head maid, Be would definitely apany the princess. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to infiltrate the ce. Be knew that she would ensure that Princess An would leave the residential area safely, even if it meant putting aside her pride as a Demon God.


    “Your Highness, wee back. The bath has already been prepared! Pleasee with us.”


    “Erm, I don’t think... lead the way then!”


    At the entrance of Princess An’s mansion, they met her battle maids, who swiftly came up to pay their respects to the princess. Just as Be was about to leave with Princess An, two of the battle maids reached out and stopped her in her tracks.


    “Excuse me, maid, stop right there. That is Her Highness’ private space and regr maids are not allowed to enter.”


    “Hold on, you will not be rude. She is Be, my newly appointed head maid. This means that she will be your direct superior and you will not act with such insolence!”


    “Princess An, don’t worry about me. I’ll join you in a moment. I got my clothes a little dirty earlier. I’ll change into a fresh set of clothes before looking for you.”


    “Well... alright,e by the balcony on the third floor when you’re done.”


    When she saw that Be had been stopped, Princess An immediately turned to berate her other maids and ordered them to allow Be to pass. After being scolded, a sh of murderous intent shed across their eyes. Although it was extremely well hidden, it did not escape Be’s sharp eyes and she easily spotted the unusual situation.


    Be smelled danger, but she remainedposed as she went her separate ways with Princess An. Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with what the two maids were wearing and their expressions did not betray them, Be took one look and knew that they were definitely fake. Demon Gods and Evil Gods were extraordinarily discerning when ites to Humans. As World Destroyers had always used Humans for their experiments, they were extremely familiar with them.


    Be was a hundred percent sure that those two maids were actually men in disguise. Her golden eyes had spotted a male’s shadow on those maids. Normally, this would not ur with women. Aside from these two, it seemed like the rest of the maids in this mansion were also all men in disguise.


    Be was simply ying along with their ruse. She wanted to know if these guys belonged to the group of perverts who were creating trouble within Antote Academy. She followed them to a secluded corner. Along the way, those two fake maids were acting strangely. The path that they had taken wasden with quite a few traps. Every time they passed one, they would simply sidestep them, hoping that Be would fall into one of them. However, Be merely walked over those traps without anything happening to her.


    Be maintained a poker face and did not seem to care about the dozen or so troops lying in ambush around her. Her feet were actually stepping on air as she hovered just slightly off the ground. It was barely noticeable unless one was paying attention. While using the “Air Walk”, there was no way for her to step into a trap. Even if there were modernndmines in the ground, they would not cause Be any damage at all.


    “Head Maid, you...”


    “Alright, are we done with the act? It’s extremely tiring trying to coordinate with your performance. Anyter, I would probably end up missing some important things.”


    “Damn it, you’re... brothers, move it! Tear this bitch’s clothes off and throw her out into the streets.”


    Once they realized that Be had tricked them, those fake maids finally revealed their true colors. They whipped out their weapons and charged towards her from every direction. Suddenly, this secret area was beginning to fill with puffs of white toxic smoke. If Be was not wrong, there were Magic Forbidding Stones buried near where she was standing, which would restrict a Mage’s ability to quickly cast any attacks.


    Be was not a Mage and those Magic Restricting Stones could only dispel the magical elements within a specific area, which would greatly limit the effect of a Mage’s abilities. However, a Demon God’s magic came from within. This meant that those stones had no effect on Be and seemed more like a joke.


    Be removed her ck eye patch, no longer needing to hide her heterochromatic eyes. Behind her, a faint ck shadow appeared. The demonic shadow split up into countless tentacles and instantly killed the fake maids standing closest to her. They died in an extremely gory manner. The tentacles pierced through their eyes and mouths and blood was sttered everywhere.


    Be did not lift a finger at all. She merely summoned an Abyss Demonic Being to aid in the fight. The type of Abyss Demonic Being summoned was rted to the level of Demon God. For instance, this particr demonic being was the “Dark Devourer” – a fearsome Abyss Demonic Being that specializes in absorbing Human flesh and blood. If Be did not control it well here and left it to roam freely, there was a possibility that all of Antote Academy would be wiped out overnight.


    Those unfortunate fake maids had the blood and flesh sucked out of their dead bodies by those long ck tentacles that seemed to act as straws. In the end, even their bones had been devoured. Within moments, other than the masks that those fake maids had used, there were no traces that they even existed, not even blood. An entire team of more than one dozen members was instantly wiped out, just like that.


    “Seriously, they were too exaggerated. As a dom, you all fail!”


    Be then turned around and gave her orders to the “Dark Devourer”. Its task was to get rid of any of the fake maids who were lying in wait around the mansion as Be still had other matters to handle. She needed to see how Princess An was doing. After receiving Be’s instructions, the demonic being split into multiple body doubles and entered the mansion in search of the remaining fake maids.


    Be put her eye patch back on. However, right before she was about to leave, she seemed to have thought of something. Casually, she reached down and picked up the Human-skin masks that they had used as a disguise. Those masks appeared to be some highly forbidden item. This meant that even the four Human underground evil organizations would not be able to buy them and she had no idea how those fake maids had gotten their hands on them.


    Other than the Human-skin masks, Be found a few other interesting trophies as well. The “Dark Devourer” was only interested in the Human body, and did not care about anything else. Be had obtained many other “dom tools” that the fake maids had been carrying. After getting those tools, Be’s imagination began to run wild.


    “These tools are seriously professional. Who knows, maybe I will get a chance to try them on Princess An.”
