They're not even human anymore; those wicked women can cry even more miserably.

But his expression remained indifferent, extremely aloof.

Anyone else would probably think this was a rejection.

But that wasn't actually the case. Long breathed a sigh of relief; finally, someone had taken the initiative to ask her to team up with them.

She should have happily agreed.

But he only twitched his expression; he didn't move.

The words that were on the tip of her tongue turned into doubt about the boy in front of her.

"Are you sure you won't hold me back?"

His expressionless gaze was unfriendly.

She regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.

They should have been happy, but the words they said were so hurtful.

She was tormented and resistant, wanting to change herself.

But such an awkward personality is something that can't be corrected overnight.

They simply cannot control themselves.

Long lowered his head, his face still expressionless.

It's as if he wasn't interested in Char's invitation.

Actually, Oboro is feeling annoyed.

He'll definitely get angry and leave in a huff because he's such an awkward guy who can't speak properly.

Actually, she didn't want it to be like this either.

I didn't want to say anything that would hurt the classmate who had extended an olive branch to me.

But she couldn't control herself either.

They've already worked so hard to get into Seven Shields Academy, it would be such a shame if they failed because they couldn't team up for battle.

Can……

"try your best."

The boy's voice was calm, and it rang out from above.

There wasn't a trace of anger in his voice.

Long couldn't help but look up and meet the boy's calm gaze.

Very easygoing, and doesn't mind being questioned at all.

Char shrugged and finished speaking.

"After all, I am powerless and can only provide you with a weapon."

Oboro was somewhat surprised and glanced at Xia again, a strange feeling welling up inside him.

He wasn't angry at all when I said such hurtful things?

Char had already naturally stood next to Oboro.

"So, we've successfully formed a team, right?"

Long paused slightly, feeling an increasingly strange sensation in her heart.

Actually, it's already great to have someone to team up with.

Although their team was smaller, at least they were part of the group and no longer felt like they were all alone.

Ripples stirred within his heart, yet his face remained as still as a deep well.

He looked rather sour.

After a long while, Xia Ya vaguely heard a word.

The voice was very soft; if he hadn't been completely focused, he probably would have thought he had misheard.

"Ah."

Chapter Nineteen: The Shame of a Succubus, I Don't Want to Be a Seductress Who Only Seduces Men

Char knew very well the true identity of his teammate: a succubus princess who had come to participate in the competition in disguise.

She may seem unapproachable, but she's actually just mildly socially anxious.

It even carries a hint of inferiority.

Because of low self-esteem and social anxiety, I always live in seclusion.

Even though she really wanted to change her situation, she refused to let others get close to her because of her low self-esteem.

Then it falls into a vicious cycle.

The contradiction is both striking and pitiful.

After all, she was a succubus who was quite famous throughout the continent—albeit with a stigma.

This inevitably involves historical issues.

As part of the demon race, succubi were among the few demons who were not eliminated during the great war against the demons.

Ultimately, this is because the succubus clan betrayed the demon race and voluntarily joined the side of light before the war even began.

Abandoning darkness for light sounds like a good reputation.

But that's just what it sounds like.

Without sufficient strength, history can only be written by the victors.

The succubus joining the side of light has been welcomed by some, but many more despise such behavior, which is why it has always been criticized.

They betrayed their race and defected to the enemy. They are not even human. Who knows when they will betray the human camp again and return to the embrace of the demons?

Moreover, the combat strength of the succubus race is only average.

Within the Seven Shields Alliance, succubi who defect to them are always looked down upon.

On the demon side, succubi have an even worse reputation, to the point of being deeply hated.

Due to racial issues, succubi are not thriving on the continent today and face numerous limitations.

Today, the largest gathering place for succubi is called Dreamland.

When this place is mentioned, some people look down on it with disdain, but most people exchange meaningful glances with each other.

I thought that Dreamland was the largest brothel at present!

They betrayed the demons and joined the light, yet they could only eke out a living in this way.

After all, this is their way of surviving!

Because of their inherent nature, succubi face fierce competition for customers, almost driving out brothels of other races and forcing them to survive in the cracks.

The rise of succubi can be described as an inspirational story.

Based on these two points, the succubus's reputation is naturally not very good.

Most people in the world despise this race.

Of course, there are quite a few customers.

Some people complain verbally, but their actions betray them.

What succubi need most is vital energy.

Therefore, the Dreamland continues to exist, seemingly a win-win situation.

The customers experienced both physical and mental pleasure.

The succubi rely on the essence of their guests to survive and cultivate, transforming themselves into the gentlest dodder vines.

But this race, which must depend on men for survival, produced an anomaly.

Char looked at the girl in front of him. Her face was soft and cute, chubby and a little bouncy, and seemed like it would be easy to pet.

He just had a sour expression and kept people at arm's length.

She had a thin, frail body and a flat, unremarkable figure.

She looks like a little girl with a blank expression.

It really is true... it completely abandons all the characteristics of a succubus.

As an anomaly among succubi, despite being a princess, she was unwilling to live in this way.

Long's true goal is to open up a completely new career path.

She was a pioneer, an anomaly among succubi.

Long did not want to sink into the dreamlike world and become a lewd succubus who only wagged her tail, seduced customers to provide services, and willingly degenerated.

That's why she concealed her identity and came to Seven Shields Academy, seeking a new way out and hoping to pave a new path for succubi.

Instead of relying solely on men.
