The Trident Demon caught by Cassian Wolf had killed a Demon Master at the Academy of Mystique and entered the academy wearing its Demon Skin.
Because the organization discovered that the contamination had a significant effect on juvenile demons, and if any place had the most juvenile demons, it was undoubtedly the Academy of Mystique.
After infiltrating the academy, it secretly injected contamination into the bodies of the demon students and then waited for the contamination to gradually taint their Demon Energy.
Luke Hearne was also one of their chosen targets.
Unlike other demon students, it did not hide its actions from Luke Hearne from the beginning.
Luke Hearne still remembers when the Evil Demon said to him with a bewitching voice,
"Don’t rush to report me, feel the gift I’ve given you first."
He didn’t know what that gift was.
But later, when he went out with a cousin from his clan, they happened to encounter an Evil Demon murdering someone. The Evil Demon was strong, and his cousin couldn’t fully counter it.
At the critical moment, the contaminated Demon Energy in Luke Hearne’s body erupted, surprisingly allowing him to severely wound the Evil Demon, enabling his cousin to subdue it.
He still remembers the look of approval his cousin gave him,
"They always say that Hannah Hearne is the most talented among the Hearne Clan’s juniors, but I think with your explosive power just now, your Four-tailed form may not be inferior to her Five-tailed form."
That was the first time someone thought he could surpass Five-tailed Hannah Hearne.
It was also the first time he felt the benefits of that power.
For demons, nothing is more appealing than power.
Even though he always claimed publicly that Hannah Hearne was the standout of their generation in the Hearne Clan, who would willingly stay second forever?
Especially every time someone praised him, saying, "Your talent is excellent, but not as good as Hannah’s."
Every time, such remarks were humiliating for him.
Even though he was already a leading figure at the Demon Level, he was never selected for the Special Demon Squad.
When he first heard of Scarlett Jennings, he didn’t take her seriously at all.
Even when he heard she was advancing steadily, Luke Hearne only intended to humble her a bit, to let her know there was someone like him in the Hearne Clan.
However, he didn’t even get the chance to formally meet her; she directly skipped grades into the Special Demon Squad.
The Special Demon Squad that he was never selected for accepted Scarlett Jennings, a Half-Demon!
With only a quarter of the bloodline, she transformed into a Four-tailed form in just three months!
He could accept losing to Hannah Hearne, but how could a Mixedblood Monster like Scarlett Jennings, a Half-Demon, surpass him?
What was wrong with wanting to become stronger?
Helping the Trident Demon secretly inject contaminated Demon Energy into other demon students was also an attempt to help them become stronger too.
Moreover...
"He only told me that those Demon Energies could make me stronger. I also admit that the power in its eruption puts one in an extreme state temporarily, but hasn’t it been without serious consequences?"
Hearing Luke Hearne’s "excuse," Hannah Hearne couldn’t hold back and slapped him hard on the head.
She then forcibly grabbed his head to look at the demon students inside the venue, who were being taken away for treatment,
"Are you blind?! Look for yourself! Is this what you call no serious consequences?!"
Luke Hearne was grabbed by his hair and forced to look at the chaotic scene in front of him.
Apart from those contaminated demon students who were beaten and bruised, looking pathetic, many innocent demon students were injured during their berserk state.
Luke Hearne looked at the scene before him, gritted his teeth, and said,
"That’s because they were too weak."
In the demon world, it’s survival of the fittest, the strong dominate the weak.
He was just helping the academy filter out the weak and useless ones.
Seeing his seemingly brainwashed rhetoric, Hannah Hearne was so enraged she let go of his head, stood up, and was ready to kick him.
Today, she had to kick out the nonsense in his head!
However, just as she was about to act, Scarlett Jennings stopped her.
Compared to Hannah Hearne’s anger, Scarlett Jennings was much calmer.
