Understand humans!

Aura just felt that Sheila was still too young and it was not a good idea to be greedy and reckless. It would be better for her, a 500-year-old demon, to take charge of these achievements.

Aura swore in her heart that sooner or later she would return the credit to Sheila.

After all, no matter how shameless Aura is, he can't really swallow up the achievements of his loyal subordinates~~

Does she look like a bad boss who would send his men to their deaths?

Did she ever do something so extreme as to chop off the heads of her men and not stop until the flesh rotted?

Right——

Since Aura has made a vow, she will definitely keep it. When the time is right, she will confess to Celia.

As for when is the right time -

That was of course when Aura was confident enough to defeat Celia, and that she wouldn't die even if she stepped hard on Celia's head and taunted her.

It will probably take two thousand years.

"Lord Aura, didn't you say that when you arrive in Kribi, you will also be responsible for some official duties?"

"Did I say that?"

"Yes, you did. It was because of your promise that I resigned from my post in San Lorenzo and followed you to Kribi. Because you promised that you would help me and make it easier for me when I got to Kribi."

"No, no, no - what I said at the time was that when I have enough rest, I will help you take care of some official duties."

"When will you rest enough?"

"About two thousand years."

"Minister! I'm going to go directly to Lady Celia and sue you!"

"Haha, little assistant, you also want to meet Celia, dream on!"

"Master Aura, don't you know? President Zanze promoted me to the position of Deputy Minister of Education a few days ago. Although I am one level lower than you, I still have the right to see Master Celia."

"You can't go!"

"Lord Aura? I've wanted to ask you for a long time. You seem to have been preventing me from meeting Lady Celia. You can bring your assistant with you every time you report your work. With me, you can report more accurately on the work of the Ministry of Education. After all, I'm usually in charge... Could Lord Aura be hiding something from me?"

“No…nothing, hahaha, Silla, you are my confidant, how could I hide anything from you?”

"Aura-sama just called me 'you', right? It seems that what you are hiding from me is not a trivial matter."

"........."

"Wait, Master Aura, why are you crying? No, no, don't be like this, I won't go, I won't see Celie, okay? Why are you so strict in front of others, but you cry so easily in front of me? I won't go, I won't go, and please don't cry, okay—"

"Because tears work well for Sheila."

Aura wiped the water stains from the corners of his eyes, caught a tear on the back of his hand, put it in front of his mouth and licked it off.

At this moment, Aula's emotions were stable and calm, without any trace of the tearful look she had just shown.

Aura is very good at dealing with humans. Although it is still difficult for her to understand humans, she can know their weaknesses through observation, and knows how to use her own advantages to capture humans.

Aura was able to do this from the moment she began to have emotions similar to those of humans.

Although the experiments on Volame, Zanze and others were not successful at the beginning, Aura did not think that it was a problem with his own skills, but that these two humans were too familiar with him and his deliberate disguise would be exposed by them.

However, it would be very different if you changed someone else.

Since arriving in San Lorenzo, Aura has experimented on Gal, Andro, and Sheila one after another. She has a better understanding of human weaknesses. She treats Gal with encouragement, Andro with severity, and Sheila with tears.

Aura has more and more ways to deal with humans, and most of the time, they have effects beyond expectations.

For example, now——

Sheila, who had just been asking her to help share the work and said she would go to Celia to sue her, hugged Aura from behind, stroked Aura's hair, and softly promised that she would never go to Celia, and didn't mention asking Aura to help share the work anymore.

I, Aula, have gradually gained the hearts of people.

Hehe, he ...

"Lord Aura, please don't say things like 'Tears work well on Sheila' next time. This is not like a human tone, it sounds more like something a demon would say."

Chapter 129: I'm so tired

"Lord Aura, please don't say things like 'Tears work well on Sheila' next time. This is not like a human tone, it sounds more like something a demon would say."

Xila was a head taller than Aura, and standing behind Aura, her eyes naturally fell on the abrupt purple tall hat on Aura's head.

This was sent by an orange-haired magician after arriving in Kribi. She seemed to be very familiar with Aura, but when Lord Aura saw her, he was trembling for some reason.

He obediently changed his straw hat.

Silla stared at the purple hat and reached out to open it, but she put it down halfway.

Her eyes moved away from the hat and moved to the strange purple-haired girl below her, who seemed too perfect to be approached from a distance, but had a bad personality and was unbearable when she walked next to her.

It's interesting that these two strange sides are the same person.

Moreover——[Tears are very effective for Silla] This does sound like something a demon would say, but if it were a real demon, they would never say this.

The demons just can't understand humans, they are not stupid.

So, Lord Aura is really interesting.

After all, Sheila was no longer curious about what was hidden under the purple hat, nor did she care what Aura had said to Lady Celia without telling her - she just wanted to see what Aura had brought to San Lorenzo, and to know that it was Aura who had gone against everyone's opinion and brought her, a secretary of a small remote city branch, to Kribi to hold an important position. That was enough.

Aura gave Sheila the most important trust, and Sheila returned it with loyalty.

Sincerity that will not be shaken by any change.

“By the way, Silla, why did Zanze promote you to the position of Deputy Minister of Education?”

Aura raised her head, and Silla's face was reflected in her clear and flawless purple eyes.

"President Zanze, it seems that what you said at the meeting was... By the way, I played an indispensable and important role in the reform of San Lorenzo's academy. I don't know why President Zanze keeps mentioning this point. The report submitted by you, Lord Aura, should clearly state who formulated San Lorenzo's reform system. It's not like we haven't received Minister Aura's report. Why does President Zanze only emphasize my contribution and not yours?"

"I don't know what you're looking at me for."

"Minister Aula, do you have any conflicts with President Zanze?" Sheila blinked and kindly reminded.

"That's impossible. Zanze and I are like brothers! How could we harm each other? Don't say such things again."

After Aura scolded Sheila, he bit his finger and thought.

How to kill Zanze.

Oh, no, it’s not necessary to kill Zanze. It would be enough to make Zanze shut up.

But with Volame around, it would be difficult for Aura to really attack humans in Kribi.

hateful!

Aura was a little annoyed. The threats of violence, which she was best at, had no effect on Zanze.

Then we can only use Zanze's human weakness to deal with her.

Let me see, can I use tears? ——No, Zanze is not as easy to deceive as Xila, she will not promise not to tell anyone for the rest of her life just because I shed tears.

Last time, I cried and begged Zanzhe to give me a hand to taste, but Zanzhe remained indifferent. What a cold-hearted woman.

No tears, no smiles, no threats—

Aula couldn't figure out what gesture he should make to impress that hard-hearted woman.

-

In the end, Aula was not punished.

Sheila did not go to Celia to report Aura.

For unknown reasons, Zanze chose to conceal the fact that Aura had taken all the credit, and no punishment was imposed.

As for Aura, she is a lazy demon who just wants to get by and live one day at a time, so she will not break this window paper.

No punishment means you did nothing wrong!

Aula didn't care what these people thought. Since no one had exposed her, her plan was successful and all the credit would be hers.

"Hehe, I'm one step closer to regaining control of the Magic Association."

From San Lorenzo to Kribi, Aula was still as diligent as ever, coming home early and leaving late. She spent more time in office than wandering the streets of Kribi.

This is of course because after taking the position of Minister of Education of the Magic Association, most of what Aura needs to do are decision-making matters, which do not take up too much time.

Things like in San Lorenzo where Aura had to do all the executions personally would never happen again, as there were other outstanding magicians who would do the work for Aura.

Therefore, Aura's free time has nothing to do with her setting up Sheila's office next to hers. Even without Sheila, Aura can finish a day's work in just two or three minutes by herself.

——At least that’s what Aura herself thought.

She is busy every day investigating the weaknesses of the Magic City and accumulating intelligence for the future large-scale attack of the demons.

It's not like I'm really being lazy.

Of course, in addition to being busy, Aula would occasionally return to his office to take a look at the report submitted by Sheila, and then spend his time and energy to solve some problems that Sheila could not handle.

To work hard means to hand the documents to Zanze and then stop asking questions.

The biggest difficulty was that when Zanze's workload was overwhelming, handing her a new document would cause veins on her forehead to bulge, and then she would grab Aura's horns, pull Aura's head over, and hold it tightly...

Every time Aura saw that expression on Zanze's face, he thought he was going to get beaten.

But every time, Zanze forced himself to calm down.

So Aula became more and more unscrupulous, curiously testing Zanze's bottom line every time.

Oh, another major difficulty of this job is that when submitting documents, you will pass through the inner corridor of the Magic Association headquarters and occasionally encounter Volame, which will cause great deterrent damage to Aura's mind and body.

Every time she met Volame, Aura would stay quiet for a few days, not daring to wander around in Kribi, but sitting obediently in her office, watching Sheila judge the job that belonged to her.

"I've worked so hard today."

Every day after get off work, Aura wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Although he did nothing, Aura felt that he had contributed another great day to the great cause of the demon clan!

It was during Aura's laziness that the demons prospered.

A big demon like Aura, even if he does nothing but just exists there, his magic power increases day by day, which also enhances the foundation and strength of the demon clan.

Until this day-

Aula couldn't be lazy any longer.

"Why are there fewer and fewer magicians teaching in different places?"

In the meeting room of the Ministry of Education, after listening to his subordinates' reports on the progress of opening colleges across the empire, Aura keenly grasped the changes in a certain data and left Sheila alone after the meeting.

He patted the data sheet of teaching magicians from various places that was handed over and asked in a reprimanding voice.

Chapter 130: Why did she take over the Magic Association?

"Master Aura..." Sheila hesitated for a moment. She had already noticed that the number of magic teachers was decreasing, but it was difficult for her to interfere.

"Most magicians have their own research topics, and they travel around the world after they finish their studies. If they are recalled and assigned to teach in towns and villages, it will affect their progress in magic training. No one is very willing to work at the grassroots level."

"Isn't there a training program? What about the group of magicians that we use our resources to fully subsidize?"

"Lord Aura, not many people actually take the training program seriously. Many magicians who have grown up have a certain status in the association. Even if they don't have a status, they can still find a lot of connections in the association. If they don't want to teach, we can only turn a blind eye..."

Sheila was also in a difficult situation, as the situation was different from that in San Lorenzo.

In San Lorenzo, their Magic Association has only one enemy, and that is the nobles who are blocking the development of the association. This problem is easy to solve. If everyone unites to face the outside world, they can break the blockade of the nobles.

But now, we have to make changes to the Magic Association... It won't be easy to handle even if we report it to the president.

After all, the president was also a magician, so it was okay to offend the nobles, but if he offended these magicians as well, it would shake the foundation and would affect President Zanze's support rate in the association.

This is the drawback of the Magic Association - it is still okay when dealing with external parties, because most magicians are of commoner origin and are naturally opposed to princes and nobles. If the power is concentrated, the power of magicians cannot be ignored even by the royal power.

But to let the magicians who have learned the skills go down again and teach in various places... Sorry, they have worked hard to get to their current status, why should they go through the same hardships again?

Sheila sighed:

"Even if our Ministry of Education notifies the magicians who have lost contact in the training program, I don't think they will rush back from their countries."
