As soon as Lilith’s speech ended, the entire auditorium turned so silent that one could even hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere around the audience gradually turned strange. A flame called fury slowly burned as it grew in intensity. It was at this moment, Lilith finally noticed the strange atmosphere. Could it be that she had said something she shouldn’t have?

After carefully recollecting the speech she had just delivered… Realization suddenly dawned upon her! All of them were actually things that she shouldn’t have said!

“…Diana, you schemed against me!”

Lilith snapped her head back and saw President Diana waving at her with a smile, completely disregarding the anger that was burning in Lilith’s eyes.

“Good luck, Lilith.”

Diana mouthed silently, her slow-moving lips allowed Lilith to easily catch what she was saying.

She then backed away while waving, until she completely vanished from Lilith’s sight.

Damn it! How could I actually fall into her trap!

Lilith was burning with anger. Not because she was afraid of pissing off everyone with what she just said, but from the feeling of being schemed against by others!

Lilith’s eyes glowed gold, she nearly couldn’t suppress the impulse of her dragon blood.

“I have no intention of taking back what I said. I have no objection if any of you come to get even with me because you feel insulted. However… My next target will be President Diana of the disciplinary committee. I hope that no one will bother me until I kill her.”

Lilith said to the audience which was burning fiercely with anger. She completely ignored her main task of delivering the work report and turned around to chase after President Diana.

She ran outside through the dedicated passage at the back of the auditorium and as expected, Diana had vanished without a trace.

Her secretary, Wendy, stood at the door instead, seemingly waiting for Lilith.

“Where is Diana?”

“It’s impolite to directly address your senior and immediate boss by her name, Vice President Lilith,” Wendy pushed her glasses up and reprimanded her.

“Do I look like I care? I just want to know where that b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ ran off to.”

Lilith approached her. Murderous intention seeping from her eyes with every step she took.

“I don’t know, but she wants me to relay a message to you.”
“What is it?”

“Well…” Wendy paused briefly and then recited the message in a monotone, “Come chase me, Lilith! If you manage to catch me, then I’ll let you hehehe… But I think you should be able to catch up to me soon. After all… the resistance you’re experiencing from the front is way lesser than mine.”

Wendy made a gesture in front of her chest and added, “President Diana is the one who asked me to do this to you, Vice President Lilith.”

“……”

“Hehe…” Lilith squeezed her fist so hard that her knuckles cracked noisily. “So I’m totally being looked down on,” she seethed through her teeth.

“If Lilith intends to fight with President Diana, I’d advise you to give up. This is my sincere advice to you, as the person who knows President Diana best.”

“Why?”

“Because President Diana likes to skip work, shirk her responsibilities, and abuse her powers. She is completely unqualified to be a president but even so, she still sits firmly in the position of president for three years. During this period, no one questioned her qualification to hold this position. Not a single person.”

“I see. That means President Diana is very strong, right?”

Wendy nodded. “Yes, very strong and very powerful. Although President Diana is only in the fifth-year, not even demon wolf Elliot who is in the sixth-year could compare with her.”

Wendy continued, “That demon wolf isn’t even qualified to be her comparison.”

“Oh? Sounds like she’s really powerful.”

Lilith was doing simple warm-ups on the spot. Her body cracked audibly with every move. “However, that still didn’t lessen my desire to beat her up. I will definitely make anyone that dares to scheme against me pay the price, no matter who she is and how strong she is.”

Wendy fell silent for a moment before nodding. “Understood. I bid you good luck, Vice President Lilith.”

Lilith smiled. “It must be tough for you to work for such a president, Wendy.”

Without waiting for a response from Wendy, she bent her knees and soared into the sky.

If it wasn’t for her burning flames of fury, Lilith would have almost forgotten that she could fly.

However, it was obviously impossible for her to catch up to President Diana by flying. After all, her ability only enabled her to float at most. It was nothing compared to real dragons that could fly a thousand miles with just a flap of their wings.

All she needed now was to have a broad aerial view.

When she reached high enough for the mountain where the entire academy sat on to be in her field of vision, Lilith closed her eyes.

When she slowly opened her eyes again, they had turned into molten gold. Dragon Might slowly permeated the air.

A scroll flew out and floated above Lilith’s head, concealing her pure dragon aura so that it wouldn’t be detected by the powerful figures in the academy.

She scanned the entire academy with her golden pupils and everything was laid bare before her.

Although this method of finding a target by purely relying on eyesight was very stupid and crude, it was also extremely effective. This was because many people would conceal their aura when they were running away. If they could be seen, then there was no use hiding their aura.

Lilith’s eyes suddenly focused when she looked in a certain direction, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile.

I finally found you, President Diana…

Lilith ran her thumb over her storage ring and a dangerous-looking scroll appeared in her hand.

“I didn’t want to do this. I came to this academy to learn dragon language, martial arts and magic.

“I didn’t want to rely on the scroll that my mother left me all the time, because I know I won’t improve at all by doing this.

“Wendy said you’re very powerful and that is the source of your confidence. Although I am talented and gifted, I don’t know how to use them. A kid with a gun still wouldn’t be able to beat a real fighter. I may not be your match. And I also understand that the only shortcut to get to the top in the journey of advancement is to challenge the strong and defeat them. But… But… You dare to scheme against me… How dare you. How can I still care so much? I can only kill you by all means, President Diana. After all, dragons are extremely prideful creatures.”

Lilith crushed the scroll in her palms and the terrifying spell was instantly released.

It disarrayed the magical elements and signs of chaos started to set into the sky.

Lilith stood in the center and the entire world around was rendered crimson by the powerful spell.

Saint-level magic, Crimson World (False)!

This was a saint-level magic that was born out of a true demigod-level magic. Although its power was only equivalent to that of an ordinary low saint-level offensive magic, it retained a very foul characteristic which was…

Once it locked onto the target, the target would never be able to escape it.

And the figure of President Diana was clearly burned into Lilith’s golden eyes.

“Rest in peace, President Diana. And rest assured, I’ll do a good job in your place.”
