Royal Academy of Magic, Mage Laboratory.

A female mage in a white coat busily shuttled through the test bench on all sides.

With a pair of square-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of her nose and sweat on her forehead, Hernie was busy going back and forth in the lab.

The white coat rises and falls with the movements, and even faintly reveals its graceful posture.

On the test bench are all kinds of crucibles, in which colorful potions are boiled.

White steam rises softly from the crucible and swirls slowly in the air.

Countless glass instruments were also filled with various reactive potions, and the gurgling bubbling sound continued to ring in Hernie's ears.

A small red crocodile lying on the test bench frowned, feeling irritated by this.

The grunts were noisy to Letterton, and it kind of wanted to smash the place.

But this 'laboratory' seems to be very important to Hernie.

Liteton thought about it, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Lightton's gaze turned to the side.

A chubby puppy was seen lying on the test bench, sleeping peacefully.

The snot bubble in front of the nose also shrank and shrank with its breathing.

It hadn't woken up since the last time it was taken away by Hernie.

How to put it, it is worthy of being a demon of laziness.

When Letterton turned around again, he saw Hernie holding two bottles in her hands, gently shaking them under careful manipulation.

"Merge this with this."

Hernie muttered as she intently blended the scarlet and turquoise liquids in the two bottles.

The two types of monster blood in this bottle are derived from the black moth and the unicorn, respectively.

The abilities of these two magical beasts are extremely opposed, one is very pure, and the other is extremely filthy.

And now, Hernie stared at the bottle expectantly, her heart racing, and she couldn't even hold her breath unconsciously.

But alas, these two bloods simply do not blend.

Hernie couldn't help but sigh as she watched the several clouds of bright green blood slowly rise from the bottom of the bottle, floating above the scarlet blood.

Perhaps it is because the attributes of the two are so relative that they cannot be fused.

"So...... How the hell did she do it? ”

She turned her head, her gaze falling on Sephiroth behind her, who had a cold expression.

At this time, Sapphiros was sitting quietly in her chair, her python-like vertical eyes staring at Herney.

Hernie looked at her with her chin propped up, lost in thought.

The blood drawn from Sephiroth's body contained the breath of dozens, if not hundreds, of monsters.

However, she had already proved that attempts to simply fuse the blood of the two monsters were fruitless.

What do you do to meet the standards of Sapphirose?

"Forget it, give up first."

As for Saphiroth's body study, Hernie can only put it back for the time being.

Although this was a study that Professor Victor asked her to do.

She still needs to think of another way.

At this time, her eyes scanned around the laboratory.

When she saw Lightton and Pukki lying on the bench, she suddenly had a new idea.

Her gaze was fixed on the tiny red crocodile.

Feeling Herney's somewhat malicious gaze, Lightton suddenly stiffened, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Lightton looked at the sleeping Pukki, as if motioning for Herney to shift his target.

But Pukki was still immersed in his dreams, unaware of Heny's gaze.

So, Hernie still stared at Lightton first, and asked:

"Will there be blood on your body?"

Demons also need bodies to move, and if they don't reveal their true bodies, they look like normal animals.

So, can you draw blood from their bodies, or their energy?

Hernie thought as she picked up the small needle on the table.

Pushing with his fingers, he squeezed the air out of it, and approached the crocodile step by step.

Lightton looked into Herney's feverish eyes and retreated in fear, nearly falling off the test bench.

"Yes...... Maybe I don't have blood, I shouldn't have it, right? ”

However, Hernie ignored Letterton's pleas and continued to press on.

Lytton panicked and turned to flee, only to find that the lab was getting farther and farther away from him.

The little scarlet crocodile was pinched in Herney's hand, and with a single needle, it stabbed Lytton's ass with unmistakable accuracy.

"Whew!"

A scream instantly pierced the silence of the laboratory.

Hernie twitched the needle lightly, pulling out some of the scarlet, foamy liquid from the little crocodile's body.

And Hernie looked closely.

Although it was unknown what had been extracted from Letterton's body, the liquid looked like it was clearly not blood.

Just by simply looking at the scarlet liquid of the needle, Hernie felt a fierce anger rise from the bottom of her heart.

And it almost made her lose her mind.

She was almost affected by this outburst, and hurriedly put the needle down, and only then did she recover a little emotion.

Obviously, this is a power from a raging demon.

At this time, Letterton collapsed on the test bench, his whole body convulsed.

It is like a fish stranded in a dry riverbed, sticking out its tongue weakly, looking desperate.

It felt as if a part of its body had been stripped away.

At the same time, Hernie picked up a new needle and walked towards Pukki.

Hmmm-

The needle quickly withdrew a tube of white fluid from Puki's body.

Pukki slept so deeply that he didn't even feel a stitch in his buttocks.

Immediately afterward, Hernie squeezed out a portion of the two tubes at the same time and placed them in an Erlenmeyer flask.

Simple fusion is the best way to judge the harmony of two masses of energy.

And this time the result made Hernie very satisfied.

When the two strands of liquid come into contact with each other, they twist and twitch each other like long snakes that meet.

An orange-red liquid quickly swallowed the original two streams of liquid, lying quietly in the bottle.

Now, Hernie began to ponder.

The essence of demons is that they can arouse the inner desires of others.

Does this mean that demons can merge with each other themselves?

But on second thought, demons also possess special abilities that can empower others.

Thinking of this, Hernie suddenly had an idea.

She hurriedly picked up the blood of the demonic beast that could not be fused on the experimental table just now.

After extracting some of the two blobs of blood at the same time, she injected it into the demon's energy.

Soon, the two strands of monster blood became restless the moment they came into contact with the orange liquid,

The two strands of blood seemed to become extremely violent, entangled with each other, and soon, they were completely fused together.

A trail of dark blue blood shook in the bottle, reflected in Hernie's stunned, widening eyes, lining the surprise in her eyes.

Obviously, the two strands of blood that could not be fused just now were actually fused together at this time under the urging of the demon's power.

Hernie turned her head in a daze, and looked at Sephirose who was quietly behind her.

Only to find that the pale Sephiroth was sitting in a chair, still expressionless and motionless.

She also didn't know what had just happened.

After the fusion of the monster's blood just now, Herni's mind seemed to have a lot of secrets about Sephiroth.

But to be more specific, she can't guess too much after all, after all, there is no evidence.

Still, being able to do this, at least for now, Hernie is very satisfied.

At least in terms of monster blood fusion, there has been a lot of progress.

"I'll have to tell the professor about this."

Thinking about it, Hernie quickly put away the glass instruments in the laboratory.

After lifting the two demons and hiding them, they walked towards the teleportation array in the laboratory.

Seeing that Hernie was about to leave, Sapphiros also stood up and followed closely behind her.

After the two stood on the teleportation circle, Hernie snapped her fingers lightly,

A burst of bright blue light bloomed from the array below them, and the two of them suddenly turned into stars and disappeared into the mage tower.

……

Today's college is very lively, like welcoming some grand festival, very lively.

Especially outside the school building, there are many times more students than usual.

As Hernie walked down the path, she could always see the students in high spirits.

With anticipation and joy on his face, he ran towards the gate of the academy with great excitement.

"Hurry up, it's too late if you don't hurry!"

What's too late?

Hernie didn't quite understand.

However, there were still some students who came to greet her with joy in their eyes when they saw her:

"Professor Hernie!"

"Professor Heney, good afternoon."

"Professor Herney, when is your next class? I would like to make an appointment in advance ......"

In the face of these students, Henny responded with a smile one by one.

Some of the students who greeted Hernie blushed when they saw Hernie's smile.

Some of the more shy students even ran away shyly.

Of course, there are also some students who, after greeting Hernie, will look behind Hernie curiously.

Behind Professor Herney was a strange woman in a robe.

This made the students feel a wave of curiosity.

But they wouldn't ask Herney directly, because it was rude.

Still, Herney could hear the students' questions as they left, chatting with their peers.

"Who's that guy behind Professor Herney......"

"I don't know, but it looks familiar."

The students gradually departed, and Herney realized that it was not a good thing to walk around the academy with Sapphiroth like this.

Just as she was about to leave secretly, a familiar voice sounded around her, causing her to stop.

"Hernie?"

Following the familiar voice, Hernie saw a long-awaited face:

"Erica!"

A hint of surprise appeared on her face, and a crooked smile unconsciously climbed up her cheeks.

The two of them hadn't spoken privately for a long time, and they could only see each other in class.

"Hernie, you're ..... today"

Erica was halfway through her words, but her eyes fell on Sephiroth behind Hernie.

Suddenly, a bad memory came to Erica's mind.

Her head was buzzing, and her whole body froze in place, staring at Sephiroth in a daze.

Isn't this the person Professor Victor brought last time?

Noticing Erica's strange eyes, Hernie smiled and explained softly to her:

"This is the teaching assistant that Professor Victor found for me."

"Don't look at her like this, but she's actually a pretty good person."

Hearing this, Erica smiled stiffly.

If it weren't for the fact that she was almost beaten by this woman at the time, she might have believed Hernie's words.

But she also understood, after all, Professor Victor had said that she would prepare a teaching assistant for Hernie.

And the candidate for the teaching assistant is this mysterious woman.

At this time, Hernie looked at the students who suddenly walked by beside her, and couldn't help but look at Erica and asked:

"What's wrong today? Why do the students go to the door? ”

Erica looked at the students and shrugged her shoulders, as if she was helpless about the students' reaction:

"The Great Prince is back."

"I've heard that he seems to have come to visit Victor."
