Scarlett Jennings exhaled with relief.
Direct combat is much simpler than listening to her say those ambiguous words.
Her hand instinctively reached for her carry-on bag.
Hannah Hearne obviously knew what it was and quickly reminded her, "You can’t use spiritual power in the Academy of Mystique, otherwise it wouldn’t be fair."
"Got it."
Scarlett came to the Academy of Mystique specifically to cultivate demonic power.
For the past three months, she hasn’t used spiritual power during assessments, and this time is no different.
As she spoke, she reached out to unstrap her bag.
The next second, a fierce-looking Crocodile Tortoise flew out from inside, grabbed the strap with its mouth, and drifted to the side amidst the Black Mist.
Hannah Hearne and the other ten members of the Special Demon Squad were watching the floating Crocodile Tortoise with intrigue.
They had heard rumors that the new student had an odd-looking demon pet, and seeing it now, it certainly was a bit ugly.
Hmm, it can fly too!
"Why can it fly? And what’s that dark stuff? It doesn’t look like demon energy."
Hannah Hearne curiously pointed at the system already floating to the side.
Scarlett did not answer, but as soon as she confirmed the system had retreated to a safe distance, demonic power emanated from her body.
Two snow-white and smooth Fox Tails emerged from behind her, rapidly grew longer in an instant, and with a swift touch of the ground at the tip, Scarlett shot towards Hannah Hearne like an arrow released from a bow!
Hannah Hearne moved lightly on her toes, her body gracefully retreating, her posture relaxed and easy, even teasing her tails,
"Only two tails? That shouldn’t be."
From behind her, the boy who spoke first in the Special Demon Squad snapped, "Fool! Don’t be reckless!"
Just as the boy spoke, Hannah Hearne felt demonic power attacking her from both sides behind her and looked closely to see it was Scarlett’s other two tails.
Her eyes gleamed, and as the two tails swept towards her, she swung her long tail to fend off Scarlett’s tails while flipping backward.
Having retreated two meters, she took a clearer look at Scarlett.
Behind her, four Fox Tails swayed gently; though all were white, the demonic power on Scarlett’s tails made them appear even whiter and glossier like snow.
Hannah Hearne finally showed some seriousness on her face.
"As a Half-Demon with only a quarter demon bloodline, manifesting four tails in such a short time, you’re indeed remarkable."
She paused, her voice became softer by two tones, "But with only four tails, you can’t beat me."
Not to mention that the concentration of demonic power from a Pureblood Demon is higher than that of a Half-Demon, within the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, the number of tails also signifies strength.
Four against five, it’s a losing battle.
Scarlett was already accustomed to Hannah Hearne’s constant chatter, even had time to retort,
"Whether I can win, you’ll find out after the fight."
Then she attacked Hannah Hearne again, having cultivated for over three months, Scarlett now controlled demonic power skillfully, and began to get used to fighting using only demonic power.
For instance, she condensed demonic power at her feet, making her foot strong enough to shatter a concrete floor, and could directly break an opponent’s bones if used to kick them.
Scarlett swung her leg, Hannah Hearne did not dodge but rushed to grab at Scarlett’s foot with claws formed from her hands.
Scarlett swiftly sidestepped, using her Fox Tails to divide into two, each reaching to entangle Hannah Hearne’s hands and feet.
Once accustomed to the presence of the Fox Tails, they became part of her.
But though she had tails, so did Hannah Hearne, whose two tails intercepted and tangled tightly with Scarlett’s advancing two tails.
Scarlett remained unfazed, one of her other two tails turned into a sharp blade aiming for Hannah Hearne, while the other rushed toward her neck.
Hannah Hearne chuckled lightly, released two more tails to counter, and in a blink, tightly ensnared Scarlett’s four tails.
Her remaining tail fiercely swept towards Scarlett’s head.
Scarlett’s heart tightened slightly, instinctively wishing to use spiritual power to create a barrier, but quickly remembered the rules of demon dueling, swiftly transformed her four tails.
After mysteriously retracting two tails previously, she could now withdraw her tails freely.
