The meeting was held at noon, and the participants left in the afternoon.

After looking at the map, Diana couldn't wait to set off.

On the second day of our journey, around noon, we saw a city wall stretching for several miles in the distance.

Before Diana could even get close, the sound of horns rang out from the city walls.

"Alert! Alert! Unidentified intruders have broken in!"

The soldiers on the city wall raised their bows and arrows, aiming them at the approaching Diana.

Seeing this, Diana realized that forcing her way in would be very troublesome, so she took out the badge of Austin College.

"I am a student at Austin College!"

A general dressed differently on the city wall signaled the soldiers to lay down their weapons, and Diana also descended.

When the flying figure landed, everyone realized that it was actually a little girl!

Diana approached the general and handed him the badge.

"Could you take me to Dean Adolf's place?"

The general took the badge, examined it, and returned it to Diana. His attitude softened, but he was still puzzled.

"Lord Adolf is indeed in Oliver City, but why did you come from the Demon Realm?"

Diana was somewhat embarrassed.

"Um... I originally planned to go straight to Oliver City, but I got lost, so..."

The general became slightly alert, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"I see. Come with me and rest for a while. I'll send someone to inform Lord Adolf."

Diana didn't think much of it; after all, she had been flying all day and really wanted to get some sleep.

The general gave a wink to one of the men beside him, who understood and quietly slipped away.

Diana followed the general down the city wall and came to a room. The room was very empty, without any furniture, except for an iron door in the middle of the room.

Diana was puzzled and turned to ask the man why he had brought her here.

When they turned around, they found that dozens of armed men were already guarding the exit.

The general snorted coldly.

"Speak! Who are you? What is your purpose in coming here?"

Diana was completely bewildered. What was going on? Everything was fine just a moment ago.

“My name is Diana, and I’m a student at Austin Academy, didn’t I tell you?”

The general's face showed utter disdain.

"If you're going to make up an identity, at least make it believable. You're trying to impersonate a student of Austin College."

Diana took out the badge and looked at it, somewhat puzzled.

"Is this badge incorrect?"

"Your badge is indeed the real deal."

"Then why do you doubt that I am not?"

Diana was somewhat puzzled.

With a whoosh, the man drew his long sword from his waist.

"It seems your demon race doesn't quite understand us, thinking that all students are children?"

"With your appearance, you're at most a beginner in magic. How could you possibly learn magic!"

Diana just wanted to say, "You're so smart! You guessed it!"

"Um... is it possible that I'm a genius?"

The general gave a cold laugh.

"Ha~ Genius? Why don't you just say you're Lord Adolf's apprentice?"

Diana looked at him incredulously. "Hey, you're a real talent!"

"That's right! How did you know Adolf was my master?"

The general clearly didn't want to waste any more words with Diana, so he waved his hand, signaling his men to seize her.

Diana raised her hands, showing no intention of resisting.

“I don’t want to argue with you. Go tell Adolf that I’m waiting for him here.”

The general's disdainful voice rang out.

"You demon, how dare you even meet Lord Adolf!"

Diana lowered her hand, somewhat angry.

"I'm giving you a way out, but you won't take it. Do you think you can take me down with your bunch of people?"

A cyan magic circle appeared in front of Diana, but it shattered the moment it formed.

Diana frowned and tried again, but still couldn't cast the spell.

"What do you think I brought you here for? This place is protected by a barrier; no magic can be used here!"

"Get her!"

The men around him, armed with long spears, slowly tightened the encirclement.

Diana narrowed her eyes, surprised that there was such a barrier. Although she could manipulate her hair to escape or easily kill them, she didn't want to do that.

These people haven't done anything wrong, there's no need to kill them. Using her hair to escape would also expose that she's not human.

As Diana watched the area surrounding her shrink, she seized the opportunity, pushed off with her feet, and leaped out of the encirclement, rushing towards the door.

Just as she was about to reach the door, the general who had been watching her was suddenly illuminated by a burst of white light. His figure transformed into a blur as he swung his longsword and slashed towards the spot in front of Diana.

Through her ability to foresee, Diana discovers the moment she is struck.

Diana, suspended in mid-air, had no way to avoid it. Damn it, I underestimated him.

Diana's mind raced, and a single, almost imperceptible strand of silver hair shot towards the roof.

Diana's forward momentum stopped abruptly, and the general's sword missed its mark, somewhat surprised.

All of this was accomplished almost instantly.

Diana landed and confronted the general.

The soldiers surrounding her only then realized what was happening and all pointed their spears at Diana.

Diana took out a jewel-encrusted sword from her bracelet and struck a pose.

"These soldiers are just going to their deaths. Do you dare to fight me one-on-one?"

The general's lips twitched as he watched Diana wield the gleaming, luxurious sword and strike a pose. Showing off, huh?

He waved his hand, signaling the soldiers who were about to charge forward to retreat.

"I'd like to see just how capable you are!"

He twirled the longsword, changing his one-handed grip to a two-handed one.

Diana saw that he looked quite cool doing a sword flourish, so she tried to imitate him by spinning with one hand.

Having never handled a sword before, she lost her grip, and the sword flew out and embedded itself in the roof.

······

All around was silent.

Diana just wanted to disappear into the ground; it was just too embarrassing!

The general's face flushed slightly.

"Are you kidding me?"

Diana quickly waved her hand, indicating that it was a mistake and that she would start over.

Then he took out a sword with a hilt inlaid with red crystal. The moment the sword was drawn, flames rose from its blade.

The general stared at the flaming sword and swallowed hard. It was actually a magic sword!

Seeing his expression, Diana felt it was unfair, so she quickly sheathed her sword and switched to a sword inlaid with ordinary gems.

"I won't take advantage of you, I'll use this sword!"

The general was speechless. You're definitely showing off your wealth!

Unable to bear it any longer, he charged at Diana with his sword in both hands.

In his eyes, Diana was full of flaws, and he only needed one blow to subdue her!
