At that time, Liyakade originally thought that after accepting the power, she would lose part of her sanity and become a paranoid and crazy half-demon like the original owner.
But in reality, Korim didn’t give Liyakade any power.
She just completely activated the demon bloodline within Liyakade.
The wound began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The burnt skin quickly peeled off, revealing new flesh and blood.
At that time, Liyakade only felt her head feverish, her vision tinged slightly red, and even in the darkness, she could see clearly.
Non-human features gradually grew on her body, and the shackles of the contract were completely destroyed.
It felt as if every muscle in her body was breathing, becoming strong and powerful.
The previous exhaustion and injuries vanished, and she couldn’t feel any pain at all.
It was like being injected with some powerful stimulant.
However, Liyakade did not lose her sanity because of this.
She simply felt her emotions erupting more intensely than usual, but she didn’t lose her calm and judgment.
She didn’t become a beast who only knew how to kill and destroy.
So, when Field called out to her, she stopped immediately.
According to Korim, Liyakade was born as a half-human, with her demon bloodline hidden away.
It would only awaken for the first time when facing life and death.
After awakening her bloodline, Korim could establish a connection with Liyakade and communicate remotely.
When she faced the dark treant earlier, Liyakade completed her first awakening.
This also explained why, despite bleeding so much that time, she found only superficial wounds after returning—because the more serious injuries had already healed on their own.
If things went according to the normal timeline, it would have taken Liyakade a long time to learn Demonization and Blood Magic.
But with Korim’s help, Liyakade’s bloodline fully awakened, and she gained both abilities.
Now, Liyakade finally understood why the original owner could blend into the Demon Race, and in the end, even absorb the dead Demon King’s power without suffering rejection.
It turned out she had demon blood flowing within her from the start.
This also reasonably explained Liyakade’s unique appearance.
But…
Her parents seemed to be pure-blooded humans.
How could they have given birth to a child with demon blood?
Moreover, if Liyakade herself could use Blood Magic, what exactly was hidden in the Underground Chamber of the Academy?
In the original work, it was written that Liyakade touched the Forbidden Power in the Underground Chamber and learned Blood Magic.
Did that actually mean the original owner faced a life-and-death crisis in the Underground Chamber?
Liyakade gradually had new doubts, but these questions would have to be solved later.
“De-demon bloodline!?”
Field was dumbfounded.
This statement was even more shocking than Liyakade being able to resist Demonic Possession on her own.
“What are you talking about? Demon bloodline, and being possessed by demons?”
Alice listened in confusion and shock to what the two were saying.
It seemed something major had happened while they were acting.
“It’s like this…”
Field explained what happened in the mansion to Alice.
Alice’s expression changed from hatred for Irina Zi to shock at Liyakade.
“That demon…hmm…seems to be some sort of elder of mine? She helped me activate my bloodline, so I could break the contract directly.”
Liyakade explained to the two.
She looked at them, waiting for their reactions.
Even if it was fear or terror, Liyakade could accept it.
If they no longer wished to accept her, Liyakade could also leave and go somewhere else.
“So, Miss Liakade, will you be discovered in the Academy?”
Alice didn’t seem to mind such matters at all.
She had no fear or doubt, only worried that Liyakade might be found out.
“Uh…”
Liyakade felt her own worries were a bit much.
She wasn’t sure if Alice trusted her too much or just had a big heart.
Facing a human with demon blood, she felt nothing strange at all.
What happened to Light Magic suppressing the Demon Race?
What about the natural aversion of Light attribute users toward demons?
Lies, all lies.
“They won’t discover it. Even Exorcists can’t detect it.
Unlike humans possessed by demons, my demon bloodline is fused with human blood by nature, perfectly hiding under the human lineage and leaning toward the human side.
As long as I don’t actively use demon powers, there’s no difference from a human.”
“That’s great.”
What do you mean, ‘That’s great’!
Can you even be considered a user of Light Magic like this!?
Liyakade couldn’t help but complain about Alice in her heart.
“Well…that’s fine too.”
Liyakade shook her head with a wry smile, looking at the innocent Alice and sighing helplessly.
Then, Liyakade looked at Field, as if inquiring about her stance.
“To be honest, as a Princess, I can’t ignore a demon entering the Royal City.”
Compared to Alice, Field seemed more serious.
“What if that demon is just tricking you, waiting for the right time to fully possess you, and after seizing your body, causes chaos in the city?
Or maybe she’s just collecting information around you to give the Demon Race an advantage in a future war against the Kingdom?”
“It’s normal for Princess Field to have such doubts.”
Liyakade nodded bitterly.
As expected, this hurdle with the Princess was still hard to pass.
Even if they got along well, a human with demon blood inside the Royal City was like a ticking time bomb.
It was only natural for Field to be cautious and suspicious.
“But…”
At that moment, Field changed the subject.
“If we just let you go, what if you cause trouble elsewhere? And I spent thirty million to buy you back.
If I just send you to prison, I’d be losing money.”
“Eh? So, Princess Field, your idea is…?”
“It’s better to let you stay here so we can watch over you. Alice’s Light attribute magic restrains the Demon Race. Even if you try something, we can quickly subdue you.”
Field put her hands on her hips, seeming quite satisfied with her logic.
“Pfft…”
Liyakade couldn’t help but laugh.
Rather than considering Field’s doubts, it was more like she was trying to convince herself.
“Hahaha, my level is pretty high, so if you two don’t work a bit harder, it’ll be tough to subdue me.”
“Tch, we’ll catch up soon.”
Field turned her head away in annoyance.
“Alice and I together can easily beat you.”
“Alright, alright, I believe you two are amazing.”
Liyakade smiled in relief.
The two of them once again chose to trust her.
Of course, Liyakade wouldn’t betray that trust.
“To keep an eye on Liyakade, you have to come to our dormitory every day. Besides, we already agreed you’d tutor Alice.”
Field demanded.
“E-every day?”
Liyakade sweated a bit.
The last few times she came here, things already got like that.
If she came every day, who knew what kind of romantic incidents might happen.
And… Alice had also…
“That’s right! Field is correct!”
“Geez…fine, fine! I promise you! But let me just say, I’m not going to live here every day. If I do, I won’t be able to handle it!”
