The enormous airplane with a snow-white belly cut through the cloud sea, its engines roaring as it descended upon Secret Phoenix Airport. On its tail, one could see its name, "White Shark". Shortly after the aircraft touched down, passengers who were at least of the middle class emerged in pairs and groups.

Dressed in a white shirt, black trousers, and a trench coat, Macaulay, compared to a short while ago, seemed even more mature, having also grown quite a bit taller. Judging by his appearance alone, one would probably think he was a well-educated young man from a wealthy family, deliberately not wearing a thick down jacket in order to maintain his poise.

He was carrying a leather bag in one hand and with the other, he protected a young girl standing by his side. The girl was slightly shorter than Macaulay, with brown short hair and a small nose and mouth. Her eyes seemed to be blue, lively and mischievous, looking around curiously.

"Is this Secret Phoenix City? The Witch School where you work, it's in this city, isn't it? It looks very prosperous."

"Shouldn't we rest a bit before meeting the principal? I don't want him to get a bad impression of me."

"Will he be very strict? Although the Mysterious Daily says he's quite young, I still feel it's not very credible. Most principals are rigid, harsh old men with white beards. I wonder if the gift I've chosen will impress him..."

"Ally!"

Macaulay chuckled wryly, interrupting the young girl's string of questions. He knew her well; if not stopped, she might keep asking endlessly.

As for her questions, Macaulay didn't hesitate or ponder, and simply nodded with assurance, "Don't worry, Mr. Principal is a very good person."

"Then will he approve of us being together? After all, you know about my bloodline and identity?"

As she spoke, the girl named Ally slightly lifted her head to meet Macaulay's gaze. Her pupils suddenly turned vertical, and a fleeting ghost light of deep blue sparkled, revealing the hint of fangs when her mouth parted slightly.

At the same time, patches of sleek, pitch-black fur surfaced on her body—a soft luminescence, imperceptible to the naked eye, emanated from her, like the moon on a snowy night, spreading a calm and peaceful atmosphere throughout the airport hall.

These "changes" appeared quickly and vanished in the blink of an eye.

The only one to see this was Macaulay.

However, there was no surprise on his face, as he clearly already knew.

The young girl named "Ally" was a Transcendent with a half-human, half-demon bloodline. Her family was one of the larger Extraordinary Organizations in the Western Federation. The two met during an adventure, and her family did not oppose marriage with humans but subjected "outsiders" to strict tests.

Macaulay had successfully passed and earned the right to date the girl normally.

After receiving Tang Qi's "summoning," he took the opportunity to bring the girl along, as a way to meet the family.

He smiled faintly, the freckles on his face giving him a sunny disposition despite his maturity. He was somewhat awkward but expressed his love clearly, looking straight at the girl, "Ally, your family is also part of the Extraordinary World, so they must be aware of the situation at Merada Special Education School."

"All the children there are special, and the principal, as their head, has no prejudice or discrimination against any non-human beings from the Order or Good Camps."

"Moreover, as everyone knows, one of Mr. Principal's good friends, Lord Jensen, the strongest Demon Hunter in Secret Phoenix City, has half-human and half-Tilos Demon blood. The latter shares the same Order Camp's Wise Demon lineage as the Hoins Demon bloodline you possess."

As Macaulay was speaking, he suddenly felt a warm sensation from his chest, and a brief thought emerged in his mind.

He paused immediately and looked in front of him.

Whoosh!

A radiant Magic Portal suddenly opened.

"The principal knows we're here, let's go."

As he spoke, Macaulay took into account the girl's nervousness. Without any hesitation, he reached out and grasped Ally's fair hand, soothing her with a smile before stepping straight through the portal.

In the Secret Realm on Lake Heart Island at Green Dragon Ridge Lake, covered by snow but normally filled with white gravel, two figures suddenly stepped out from the Magic Portal onto the beach.

"Wow!"

As expected, when the girl blinked into the Secret Realm and saw a nearly fairy-tale-like enchanting scene before her, she let out a cry of amazement.

Standing beside the girl, Macaulay was initially surprised not to appear directly in front of Tang Qi, but after pondering for a moment in his mind, it seemed he understood something. Holding the girl's hand, he formally gazed at the Secret Realm before them, which had changed dramatically since his last visit.

The first thing that caught his attention was the green-touched lake surface not far away, with large snowflakes still falling, and "gurgle gurgle" sounds coming from all over the lake, amidst whirlpools where many figures were bustling, most possessing a similar air about them.

Macaulay, who had already had quite a few adventures on the Mysterious Side, easily recognized that those were "Artifact Forgers" and "Mysterious Craftsmen" among the Professionals.

"Are they forging something, or constructing some terrible thing?"

Macaulay surmised, because one of his Mysterious Materials was sending out warnings, indicating very frightening presences from deep within those whirlpools.

As he focused on the movements of the artifact forgers and craftsmen, on the other side of the beach, an extremely exaggerated airplane, filled with a domineering aura, slowly landed amidst roaring engines, followed by several "Clarkwo Spaceships" flying at a steady pace.

Each spaceship extended transcendent ropes, binding gargantuan monster corpses of various shapes and sizes.

The Queen descended and its hatch opened, revealing figures just recently shed of childishness, slightly younger than McGraw and Ally, stepping out.

Watching these boys and girls in standard wizard robes, chatting and laughing on their way toward the distant, majestic, and ancient castle, McGraw felt not only the increasing warning from the mysterious object in his arms but also saw the suppressed features of his young girlfriend, Ally, belonging to the Hoins Monster lineage, showing signs of emerging automatically from sensing too many powerful presences.

"Dear, are all of them students from the Witch School? Each one a 'Professional Level' student?"

The girl's mouth fell slightly open, her vertical pupils filled with surprise.

Having been with McGraw, the girl had made a special effort to learn about the entity he pledged loyalty to.

So, upon initially landing in Secret Phoenix City, Ally was quite nervous, after all, the titles and achievements like "Evil God Slayer", "Genius Polymath", "East Federation Six New Stars" that Tang Qi possessed, would also be considered big shots even in the Western Federation.

When she left home, her elders not only agreed to McGraw's request, but her family, the "Kelstrand", would also become one of the collaborative organizations with Merada Special Education School. They also deliberately provided a lot of good things and gifts to prevent her from being bullied.

According to the elders' speculation, the "Mr. Principal" must possess close to, if not already, Legendary Level combat power.

His latest feat: using inconceivable witchcraft to turn another of the Six New Stars, an Ancient Magic Inheritor who could seduce female demons, into a donkey.

With the influence of "Mysterious Daily", the entire Western Federation, including the madmen on the West Coast, were aware of the mysterious and powerful wizard in that cold, iron-and-automobile-known metropolis of the Eastern Federation.

Moreover, this wizard was also the leader of a group of powerful witches, commanding a Witch School.

Due to Tang Qi's overshadowing fame, while the Witch School had a presence, the Extraordinary World generally believed that those youthful "Monster Students" would still need a long time before they could grow.

Ally had thought so too, until this moment.

Her gaze fell directly on a group of students at the front, a boy with skin tending to black-red appeared particularly quiet and cheerful. Each one of the students gave Ally a tingling scalp, feeling extremely dangerous, but especially more so this boy.

Ally's inherent Demon Bloodline was warning her. In a trance, she seemed to see a graceful black cat being thrown into a steaming cast-iron pot, a terrible pollution about to erupt.

Just as she could hardly resist using her powers, a gentle voice suddenly came, instantly soothing the unfounded fear in her mind.

"Mr. McGraw, this beautiful sister, the Principal asked me to greet you."

Upon hearing this, both turned towards the front, a boy around fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a standard wizard robe, standing with a smile.

His smile and voice, seemed to have the power to calm people down.

"I'm Noah, he's Dennis, he has just come out of the 'Isolation Zone', just like Sister Shay and the others, he also possesses extremely dangerous power, he's trying his best to control it, but occasionally there might still be leakage."

"Don't worry though, the Principal said that we students in the practical combat classes have been doing well lately, and there might soon be some who are eligible to graduate, like the sleep-inducing little Noah."

Towards the end, Noah's face showed the pride and arrogance that a normal teenager would have.

...

On the fourth floor of the Library Tower, the once empty and quiet area, was now almost completely occupied by various books, most of which were open as if they had been read multiple times, and on the central workbench, various messy tools and some mysterious materials laid scattered.

Tang Qi's hands worked like phantoms, focused on repairing a mysterious object resembling a "ship lamp".

This was his relaxation time apart from meditation, either concocting secret medicine or casting.

Soon, when he paused, the Information Fragment on the ship lamp in his eyes suddenly flickered, its name finally changing from "Mysterious Ship Lamp" to "Fool's Ship Lamp".

Tang Qi's mouth curved into a smile, and then the next moment, he saw Noah leading the long-unseen McGraw and a short-haired girl following closely by his side.

The relationship between the two was immediately apparent from their tightly clasped hands.

"Have my followers also gotten girlfriends?"

This teasing remark from Tang Qi immediately turned McGraw and Ally's faces a flushed red, as if billowing steam might erupt from them. Though he looked young, in both of their eyes, Tang Qi had the status of a "parental figure", and even for Transcendents, meeting the parents could be nervewracking.

Nevertheless, the two still held hands tightly, the scent of young love permeating the air.
