East Wing Girls' Dormitory. Near Eastern Dream Academy.

Most of the students in Eastern Dream Academy aren't locals. They came from across the country in order to get into the academy and lived in dormitories set up by the academy itself. One of the most populated dormitories was East Wing Girls' Dormitory. It has large rooms, has good services, and also a good environment.

One of the rooms on the second floor.

Luciana pulled up her skirt and adjusted her shirt. "This is stupid… why do I have to go to the academy every day and do stupid things?" Even among the devils, she was royalty. Naturally, Being a devil is not a race or ethnicity. It is a born privilege.

Upon hearing the word "devil", one could have wild imaginations. In reality, however, a devil could be of any race with very little special means other than just being born as a devil. It sounds lame but it isn't. Races aren't supposed to make you look cool and make you have cool innate abilities. It is just a slight change in the bloodline.

For instance, take one member of the majority race (the race which has the highest population rate in a kingdom which is FRY-76 and another member of the minority races. Place them side by side and compare them in several metrics. Compare them by their facial features, the color of their skin, see if they have special features or not. At the end of the day, the difference would be negligible.

Now, Luciana isn't exactly a devil. She is a fallen devil. For one to become a fallen devil, he/she has to be a former devil. One becomes a fallen devil in more than more ways. The most common way is simply by getting disowned by the family the devil is part of. Even though she still has the prestige of a devil, her status and resources dropped by a lot because she had been disowned by her family.

'After all this, I'm here still searching for the perpetrator behind that incident.' Thinking of the incident that happened that day, her eyes turned cold.

That day, or more appropriately, that night was exactly the same night Rewen came on Earth. Prior to him arriving on Earth, Luciana went through the ceremony of getting disowned on the reason for being a traitor. She was deemed as a traitor who turned her back to the family. 

Naturally, she wasn't a traitor.

She was framed.

Soon after she was framed, she was drugged and sent to a random location. In an extremely coincidental manner, she met Rewen who ignored her plight. Of course, she never blamed for ignoring his plight. In fact, she never blamed him for anything.

It should be known that she isn't that bored of a person playing games with him. However…

'The left said that he could lead me to find the person who framed me.' 

Luciana understood the part and acted accordingly but she never actually got the next part. 

'Why can't I just force him to spit out what he knows?'

This wasn't a question that she thought of just now. She had this question on her mind for a long while and even asked a couple of times. But no matter how many times she asked, she would get only one answer.

"Because he doesn't know. - Doesn't that sound fucking contradictory!?"

A few seconds later, she calmed down. She walked over to her table and took the light bag over her shoulder, then proceeded to exit the room when she heard a deep voice behind her

"Ma'am, we have something to report."

Luciana stopped, then turned back. A masked man wearing a blue coat and pants was facing her. "Did you see everything?" This was her question of foremost importance.

"What was there to see?" The man in blue genuinely appeared confused.

Luciana wasn't sure how to deal with him. Not only he but his coworkers are the same. Their EQ was pitifully low. "I was, like, changing and you came in from who knows where. Did you see me changing?"

"Oh, haha! We might not look like it but we are very mindful. We have a hidden camera right around here. Before coming here, we properly checked if you had fully worn everything or no---"

Slap!

"Had me in the first half, not gonna lie." Luciana slapped him with a deadpan face, then continued. "Remove the hidden camera. First, tell me why you came here."

The masked man rubbed his cheek, then answered. "The target, Rewen Klofar, had arrived in the class. We thought of informing this to you because it is a highly unusual business, Ma'am"

"He came this early, err, why did he come this earl-- oh my gosh! What's wrong with me? Why did I change the wording of my question? Anyways, why did he come now? Is he up to some funny business?"

"Responding to Ma'am, we can't be sure about that. He, however, does have a battle to fight today."

"Interesting. Where is Team Red?" Luciana asked. Team Red refers to the scouts surrounding the target, Rewen Klofar. They wore a black mask, a red coat, and pants. The attire was the same as the guards in charge of guarding the fallen devil, Luciana. That is also the reason why the guards were also referred to as the "Team Blue".

Team Red has three Rank 3 Mages keeping tracks of him.

Team Blue has twelve Rank 3 Mages guarding Luciana. 

Just from this, it is obvious that her safety was much more important than anything. 

"Boss called for a meeting. And.. and they… all three of them just left the target for us!"

"What? How many men did you send to keep tracks of him?"

The masked man raised his hand and showed her his palm. "Two left for the meeting. Three are, as always, an emergency unit. If something goes wrong, they would be the ones responsible for calling for reinforcements. Five including me would be looking after the target. The last two are the emergency reinforcements."

Upon hearing this, one might ask - why are there emergency units? Can't they just do their job usually? Well, for starters, they aren't officially a part of Team Blue and nobody knows who they are. Not because they are mysterious but because they haven't been appointed yet.

What does it mean?

When the emergency unit would be called, the REAL WAIFUS CORPORATIONS LIMITED will issue two of their top-ranking members. Since they are "top-ranking", their time is very valuable. Honestly, it's not that Luciana or her Reverends couldn't afford it but they are simply not worth it. During an emergency, before they could get the message that they needed to save her, the Reverends would have already arrived at her aid.

That's why it's useless. Even so, because she is taking a refugee under the REAL WAIFUS CORPORATIONS LIMITED, she has to abide by their rules.

"Good." Luciana acknowledged that this was a good distribution overall. "In other words, I have five people guarding me. A little less than usual but not bad." 

She said, before exiting the room and walking to her classroom. The masked man disappeared within a few seconds.

It was empty.

Not exactly empty. There was a bag on a seat beside hers. Almost instantly, she recognised the bag and figured who this bag belonged to.

Rewen!

Luciana calmly sat down on her seat, took her smartphone and texted the masked man she just met. Obviously, she couldn't "summon" him right in the classroom. There are surveillance cameras all over the place. While the government or the authorities wouldn't just prosecute her because she was a fallen devil having guards, they would definitely question her.

Again, while the authorities wouldn't question her for being a fallen devil having guards, there is a high chance that they would find out her involvement with the REAL WAIFUS CORPORATIONS LIMITED, a hidden terrorist organization. The only reason it is "hidden" is because the general public aren't aware of them. Not because the authorities aren't aware of them. 

Luciana: Where is Rewen?

Blue4: He is in the washroom. Interestingly enough, he is having a mental breakdown there. His legs are weak, he couldn't walk properly and… he just seems to be having a really bad time. Poor kid.

Blue4 was the masked man. It was his temporary work name. 

Luciana stopped texting, then looked outside the window. After a while, she thought of something, then texted again.

Luciana: Hack the cameras in the washroom, this classroom, and also the cameras on the route to the washroom from here.

Blue4 didn't reply for a while.

Ten seconds later, Blue4 texted her.

Blue4: All clear, Ma'am. You are free to do as you like.

With an unknown smile on her face, Luciana got up. 'Time for some payback.' She said, before leaving the room.

This was Luciana, infamously known as the "Petty Devil".
