In one of the dragon dormitories in the “Pure White Heaven” at the northern campus area of the Alessandra Academy, Bella’s “lawless” behavior with the dragon princesses inside the dorm was not discovered by anyone. They didn’t perform spot checks here at all, plus the soundproofing was excellent. Even if Bella were to start a killing spree inside, no one would even be able to hear the screams outside.

After the madness from last night, Bella managed to turn Black Dragon Princess Clariss, Silver Dragon Princess Isabel, Ice Dragon Princess Mavis, and Fire Dragon Princess Sulliman into her personal flying mounts while staying under the Dragon Race’s sights. Golden Dragon Princess Laceman had already been obtained previously. Not counting the demonic dragons such as Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman and other unconventional Dragon Races, Bella had already obtained five princess-level flying dragon mounts. Her achievements had already surpassed the other dragon knights in this dimension.

According to how things were developing, if Bella didn’t make a move against these dragon princesses, there was a nine out of ten chance that they would end up signing contracts with the male Saviors, so Bella had to step in first. Of course, she still followed the transmigrator’s “friendship code.” There was no need to go so far. At least, Bella didn’t touch the dragon princes. Those might be left for the male Saviors to take their pick.

According to the information she got from the dragon princesses, the home base of the Dragon Race was not located on the human continent. They were in a relatively independent continent that was located north of the human continent. The Dragon Race settlement in the Knight’s Kingdom was just the largest branch, not their home base. There were quite a lot of dragons. However, they were considered a minority when compared to the huge population of the human race.

The Dragon Race had several branches. The demonic dragons belonged to the heretical dragon races and were expelled from the Dragon Race’s genealogy more than ten thousand years ago before the Twelve Demon Kings attacked the Dragon Continent. When the Demonic Dragon Race turned to the Twelve Demon Kings’ side and supported them, they were also expelled from the continent by those events. After the Demonic Dragon Race was driven away, the Dragon Race branched off into many different branches based on their attributes. The three strongest branches were chosen to become the Dragon God Race, while the rest were just regular dragon races.

The princesses that Bella had met so far were not from the Dragon God Races. Golden Dragon Princess Laceman had powerful physical attributes, Silver Dragon Princess Isabel was massively proficient in magic, while Black Dragon Princess Clariss’ battle prowess was comparable to the demonic dragons. However, none of these dragon princesses were considered part of the Sacred Dragon Race. However, Bella wasn’t worried about it. In her opinion, as long as she liked them, it didn’t matter what attribute the dragon princesses had; none of them should even think about escaping from her. She aspired to become the strongest “Dragon Knight” in every sense.

Bella had changed into the Alessandra Academy uniform that she wore when she went out for a stroll last night, which looked like a German military uniform. Bella finally remembered putting the stockings on and even a suitable black pair this time. This school uniform belonged to Black Dragon Princess Clariss. Bella tinkered with it a little and took off the shoulder patch with Clariss’ name on it.

If one didn’t pay attention, they generally wouldn’t notice that Bella was going out without her identifying shoulder patch. Bella was currently in her original form as Sacred Demon God Samantha. Even though she looked human in appearance, the air around her was largely different. This was the best choice she could choose if she wanted to act as a foreign race student.

Bella turned around and looked at the beautiful bodies of the dragon princesses lying across the bed. They had already fallen asleep out of exhaustion. Even if dragons had much more stamina than humans, Bella was a Demon God parading as a Demon King after all. The only one to make her exhausted after the deed was an existence at the same level as her. Regardless of how ferocious Silver Dragon Princess Isabel and the others were in front of other people, they were really no different from pets in front of a Demon God. Bella didn’t put all those animal headdresses on them last night for no reason.

“Have a good rest, my mounts.”

Bella looked at them lovingly for a while before she left. She had the eyes of an owner taking one final look at their pet cat or dog before leaving them to take care of the house while out on work. Bella opened the door and collided with a girl standing by the doorway while she wasn’t paying attention. The girl had come to find someone and headed over early in the morning and bumped into Bella before she could knock on the door.

“Sorry. Who... Who are you? Why are you in Isabel and the others’ room?”

“Uh, I... I’m Clariss’ classmate. I just transferred here not long ago.”

There was no need to guess the identity of the dragon maiden who collided with Bella. When they bumped into each other, the dark energy in Bella’s body almost rebounded the dragon beauty out of reflex. This beautiful dragon maiden was Radiant Dragon Princess Hetivil. The Radiant Dragon Race was also called the White Dragons or the Sacred Dragon Race, one of the three branches of the Dragon Race known as the Dragon God Race.

Hetivil’s temperament was similar to that of the Radiant Church’s Holy Maidens and papal heir that Bella had encountered. She could also sense her divine aura from a distance. She had pure white hair with a look of curiosity in her golden eyes, wearing a full set Alessandra Academy’s white version pair uniform as well as a translucent pair of stockings. Bella almost had her sight stuck on those thighs.

This Sacred Dragon Princess was either the natural airhead type or the sultry type. Didn’t she realize how arousing those pair of see-through stockings were?! When she saw Hetivil wearing such provocative stockings with such a pure and innocent expression on her face, Bella felt that she must really be a natural airhead. She had no idea that it was “foul-play” to dress like that. However, Hetivil’s face value was much higher than the other dragon princesses that Bella had bullied last night. The unique divinity and elegance was something that the other dragon princesses could not compare with at the moment.

When they collided earlier, Bella had bumped right into Princess Hetivil’s “special buffer zone” in front of her chest, and the bounciness was wonderful. Princess Hetivil came here to look for someone. She was in the same dorm as Fire Dragon Princess Sulliman, and the standard maximum was three people in each room for the dragon dorms. Yesterday, the bath at Hetivil’s place broke down, so she and her two other roommates ran off to different dorms to borrow the baths.

Hetivil had originally wanted to come to this dorm, but she was too slow as Fire Dragon Sulliman was one step ahead. Last night, when Bella fell down, she was supposed to have crashed into her body instead. She innocently told Bella what she had come for without concealing anything. Alessandra Academy was having a food festival today, and she came to invite her roommate Sulliman to go with her.

“Um, about Sulliman and the others... Last night, they...”

“Oh, is that so? Then no need to force them. I’ll just find someone else. Right, what is your name?”

Bella still had many tactics to fool girls. She leaned close to Hetivil’s ear and whispered into her delicate little ear. After hearing what Bella said, a flash of embarrassment appeared on Princess Hetivil’s face as she quickly left. Bella was very direct and lied that Fire Dragon Princess Sulliman and the girls had their “period” last night, so they couldn’t go today.

No matter which world was it, the best excuse for a girl was always the “period” for taking leaves. Hetivil didn’t think too deeply into it. She just asked for Bella’s name and turned around to look for someone else. Seeing her leave in a rush, Bella wondered whether Hetivil was secretly a deeply closeted foodie dragon princess.

She definitely couldn’t allow Princess Hetivil to enter the room. Not only were the dragon princesses inside completely naked, but they were also lying in strange positions. Even though she could use the excuse that they liked to “sleep naked,” there were no excuses for the strange smell inside the room. No matter how simple-minded Hetivil was, she’d definitely figure out the problem.

It was already early dawn as students were already beginning to come and go. Bella couldn’t mess around as she was also unsure if she could subdue Hetivil without killing her in one blow. Tricking her was obviously the best strategy here. After making sure that Princess Hetivil left, she quickly locked the door, worried that someone else would come to disturb the princesses’ rest, as she also hung up a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door while she was at it.

“You’re here, Bella? Seriously, are you bullying pretty girls again?”

“Kriss, you... Why are you here?”

“The others were worried about you messing around and asked me to watch... No, asked me to help you so you can get the task done as soon as possible.”

“Kriss, did you say something just now?”

“Did I? Bella, it must be your imagination, definitely.”

After she was done with everything and was just about to leave, another familiar voice stopped Bella. Bella couldn’t be more familiar with the owner of that voice. It was her “official girlfriend,” Kriss. Kriss was currently in her fallen form and had a hint of an exotic look. It couldn’t be any better for her to pretend to be a foreign race.

Kriss had somehow managed to get her hands on a white paid version of the Alessandra Academy’s school uniform. It was a pure white military uniform with an exquisite sword hung from her waist. Her long silver hair was adorned with a blue butterfly bow. Kriss wasn’t wearing any stockings. She didn’t know which color to choose, so she just went without it. This school uniform was an imitation that Isaman had spent the night creating and wasn’t much different from the original. She had cut out the fabric in the same look as the original. The only thing missing was the Alessandra Academy’s emblem.

Kriss went to the Antoinette Academy to find Bella’s new proxy, Princess Aslan, to confirm the situation. Then, based on her intuition, she judged that Bella must have spent the night in one of the dragon princesses’ dormitories and had rushed over early in the morning. Fortunately, she still came late. If she came last night, Bella might not have been able to “eat up” those dragon princesses.

“Kriss, should I call you by your real name, Krysan? Or...”

“Just call me Kriss, Bella. It’s better if we don’t expose our real names. You too. The foreign races academy is giving me a strange feeling. But where... Right, Bella. Where are we heading next?”

“To breakfast, of course! Let’s go. It’s my treat, so eat your fill.”

Holding Kriss’ hand, Bella headed for the central campus area, the “Force of the Earth.” Similarly to the campus festivals of the Olsylvia Academy, Alessandra Academy was also having a food festival during this period. Without a doubt, food was the best choice for allowing the students of different races to find a common topic to talk about, and the language barrier wasn’t so obvious when they were ordering food. This was the background that the food festival was born out of and was no smaller in scale than the campus festival planned by the Olsylvia Academy and the music festival by the Antoinette Academy.

Out of the three major academies in Olsylvia City, one of them was doing an entertainment-themed festival. One was doing a food festival for the foodies. The last was doing a music festival with singing and dancing as the main theme. Not a single one of them had studying activities as the main theme. It seemed like no one’s main goal was to study; they all had their own exciting activities.

Alessandra Academy’s food festival was held at the relatively large central campus, the “Force of the Earth.” According to the agreement of the branch campuses, the location of the food festival was considered a non-combat zone. Even your enemies couldn’t do anything when they were here, and if a fight were to break out, you’d be rounded up by the entire school. Other than the food festival zone, you could fight all you want.

The reason why Bella came to the food festival was to scout for information. As they were all Alessandra Academy students here, if a powerful person were to show up, Bella would be able to sense it with her Demon God instincts. Bella’s current comparative standard was based on the original Black Saviors, the current Renegades, Kriss, Ariel, and the others. If they were close to them, then they were considered super-forces.

The food festival booths were all ready. When Bella and Kriss arrived, the place was already packed. Bella had a rather stoic face on, unlike Kriss, whose face was completely laid back and relaxed. Bella had come with the mood of being on a mission and couldn’t relax, but Kriss was different. She came here in the mood of going shopping with her “girlfriend.” It was rare enough that she wasn’t laughing, so how could she keep a sour face?

They called it a food festival, but there were also other good trading stalls other than the food. The reason it was called a food festival was that most of the booths displayed food. When Bella and Kriss arrived, other than the aroma of food in the air, there was not the least bit of noise here. They could only hear slight sounds of people chewing on their food. This was definitely one of the most unusual food festivals Bella had ever visited.

There was no noise because all the students were from different parts of the world and spoke different languages. They couldn’t communicate with each other at all. Many foreigners didn’t care to use the common language, which was the official language of the human race, as a medium of communication, so the participating students simply communicated with each other using sign language. There were no names on any of the stalls, not even text for labeling their goods as the writing of the foreign races was all different. Much like spoken language, most of the foreign race students didn’t bother to use the common human language.

Like the hotel run by foreign races that Bella had visited before, trade here was done through the barter system and did not accept the human currency. Even though human gold coins were the common currency of the human continent, that was only limited to trades done between foreign races and humans. Transactions done with each other did not use the human currency. They either bartered with each other or used a generally accepted equivalent.

There were several general equivalents used in transactions between foreign races, ranging from precious mythril for forging, precious obsidian for magic, as well as a key material for forging divine artifacts, gold amalgam, originally called the “Universal Gold” of the trading world. The “hardest” currency was the dragon bone. However, given how many dragon students were in the Alessandra Academy, using dragon bones for trading would be too hurtful and easily cause a racial confrontation, so those were temporarily canceled. At the very least, you couldn’t use it here.

Bella felt depressed. Out of all the equivalents, she only had dragon bones, but the use of dragon bones was restricted. Were they purposefully going against her? The piles of gold coins Bella brought with her in her storage ring was also useless. As a Demon God, she shouldn’t be forced to the point where she had to try an “eat and run.”

Bella looked at cheerful Kriss and couldn’t tell her that she didn’t bring any money. She said she would treat her, so even if she didn’t have the money, she still had to do it. Kriss also didn’t bring any of those trading substitutes. The treasures she kept on her were mainly swords, obsidian, mythril, and so on. The only ones who might have them were the magic-using Renegades, Mage Ariel and Puppet Master Elaine.

Bella had quite a lot of divine artifacts on her, and those could be used as trading materials as well. However, the problem was that it had been ten thousand years since God Race’s demise, and not many of them had even appeared in the world below. For a bunch of divine artifacts to pour out of nowhere would attract the attention of many, which would likely interfere with Bella’s secret investigation mission.

Bella held Kriss’ hand as she strolled around Carol Food Street. While she was pretending to pick a stall, her mind was racing to think of a countermeasure. Kriss was still smiling as usual and didn’t notice that her girlfriend had already fallen into a “financial crisis.” Most of the foreign race students still adopted the looks of the human race, so Bella and Kriss didn’t attract much attention as they walked down the street.

The aesthetics of the foreign races had always been a mystery. They were quite different from humans. To human standards, Sacred Demon God Samantha Bella and Myriad Sword Demon Krysan were stunning beauties, but they were no different from normal human beauties in their eyes. They just had slightly more proportionate bodies and fairer skin. The majority of the foreign races prized strength more. As long as Bella and Kriss did not expose their ungodly strength, they would not end up in the awkward position of being stared at by everyone.

This was good since Bella could avoid the trouble of people coming up to harass her. The foreign students here were mainly focused on the food; nobody was paying attention to the two top existences, Bella and Kriss, as they passed by. Just as Bella was about to be exposed and was ready to come clean to Kriss that she didn’t have any money, she bumped into an acquaintance.

“Oh? If it isn’t Sacred Demon... Saman... Anyway, come over, it’s my treat.”
