It was already 11:00 when the group finished their meal. Moby and Abby needed to return to their dorms.

They both said goodbye to Jayden and left her mansion in the limousine with the butler, like usual.

Every time Moby tried to strike up a conversation with Abby, she would always answer in a really polite way, always saying "My Lord", like she was some chivalrous knight talking to a king.

"Either I teach her how to lighten up or I get used to all this praise. Well, since I will become the demon lord and have a big following in the future, I will need to get used to being praised like some deity. It's good practice. Plus, I think that she will eventually loosen up to me a little after we've known each other for a bit longer… eventually, '

'I need to learn how to be a proper leader. Although I do like Jayden more than Abby as a person because I like her personality more, I can not show that when I speak to them in order to not cause any jealousy, malice, or bad blood in the family. That might be because I just met Abby and I'm not used to her fanatic personality I by no means hate her. In fact, I respect and can sympathize with her motivations and reason for revenge. Maybe my opinion changes when I get to know her better and spend more time with her.'

'I was really surprised to see Jayden offering to be Abby's friend. Honestly, that kind of relieved me. I was scared that those 2 might not get along but I'm happy to see that they want to become good friends. Maybe Jayden just wanted some girl friends to talk to and hang out with. At least I have 2 seemingly decent guy friends,' Moby thought with a chuckle, thinking of Alex and Ray.

'Today ended better than I could have ever wished for. Everything went according to plan and even better.'

'Now all I've got to worry about is the plan for next month's exam,' Moby thought with a serious face.

"My lord! We are going to arrive at school in only 5 minutes," Abby said, using their mind link.

Moby had told her to only communicate with him using their mind link inside the limousine because the butler would find it weird and suspicious that a high level like Abby would be addressing a low level like Moby as, "My lord".

"Great! Thanks for letting me know!" Moby replied with a smile.

"By the way, since you live in a dorm, does that mean that you have dorm mates?" Moby asked with a curious tone.

"No, I have a dorm all to myself. Since I'm from an important family, I get to have the option."

"My family doesn't like me at all and treat me like trash but they have yet to disown me for reasons I'm still not sure of. So, I still have the family perks of being a Reid. The only person in the school who knows about my treatment at home is my sister, so no one knows about it yet. She has yet to ruin my reputation at school but, I'm sure she is able to do it at any time. Knowing her, she must have some plan that will further torture and humiliate me," Abby explained.

"Don't worry! That won't happen! As long as you stick with me and Jayden! We will have your back!" Moby said with a smile.

"Thank you my lord! I will serve you loyally till the day I die!" Abby said with a firm resolve.

"By the way, what were those expensive clothes you were wearing when we first met at the skills exam?" Moby asked with interest.

"Those "Expensive Clothes" are nothing more than rags for my family. Even the servants wore better clothing." Abby respectfully explained.

"Hmmm, yes. I understand. Thank you for telling me," Moby responded, smiling brightly.

'I guess I was really poor at the time and anything looked really expensive in my eyes. I probably misjudged her when we first met. I thought that she was some rich noble that thought she was better than everyone else but I was dead wrong,' Moby thought.

When they were about to reach the school, Moby reminded Abby of important things they had discussed at Jayden's house prior.

"Remember, you need to conceal your sudden jump in power level at school tomorrow. Also, don't approach me or talk to me at school to avoid unnecessary drama. If you want to communicate with me, only use your mind link. Pretend like nothing happened between you and me and act like we are strangers. I understand it might be hard or frustrating but this is for the good of the family. It won't be like that forever, I promise." Moby said with a smile, putting his hand on Abby's shoulders.

"Of course my lord! I understand! I promise I will try my best to not let you down! Even though it brings great pain to my heart to act cold and heartless towards my saviour, lord and friend, I will endure it all for your sake and for the sake of the family!" Abby replied with a firm resolve.

"That's good to hear," Moby said with a smile.

When they reached the school, Moby and Abby immediately split up in hopes of not being caught together. It might cause more unwanted rumours to spread.

When Moby reached his room, he was expecting Alex to be there waiting for him to get back to interrogate him like he was his mom. But, when he came in, he was surprised to find Alex and Ray both playing video games on the TV.

"Hey! It looks like Moby's back! Want to join us?" Alex said, holding a controller out to Moby.

"Heh, why the fuck not?" Moby said, smiling and grabbing the controller out of Alex's hand.

**************************

The next day,

Moby woke up early in the morning like usual and did his daily quest before taking a shower.

He assigned his 3 stat points to intelligence raising it from 110 to 113.

Then, he spent the rest of his time practicing his "Devil's Hand" by spinning a book using the index finger of his "Devil's Hand". He spun it less than one millimetre above his actual finger making it nearly impossible to see that the book was not actually touching his finger when spinning.

Then, he left his dorm heading to class, ignoring the usual death stares.

When he entered the class, he noticed Abby was already there.

She looked at him with a cold gaze before looking away, pretending like she didn't even notice him.

'Damn, she's good!' Moby thought, impressed by her acting.

As soon as he entered the class, he could hear a bunch of gossip that he expected to hear.

"Yo! Is it just me, or does Abby Ried look a lot hotter today?"

"Ya! Your right! What the fuck! She looks so sexy! It's like all her proportions got even better and her skin looks so silky smooth!"

"Did she get plastic surgery?"

"Didn't the same thing happen to Jayden Griffith?"

"Wait, didn't she meet up with Jayden Griffeth's pet yesterday?"

"Wait a fucking minute…"

The entire class suddenly turned around and looked at Moby who was sitting at the back of the class with greedy eyes.

The Demon transformation has the side effect of making anyone who turns into a demon much more attractive. That is why Abby looked a lot more stunning than usual.

'FUCK! I didn't want this to happen! I'm so fucking stupid! I should have predicted this!' Moby thought in turmoil.

"I promise you it's not what you think it is! I don't have an ability that allows me to do something like that and I'm not a plastic surgeon" Moby said, trying his best to make things blow over.

"Please do it for me! I'll pay you $10000" an ugly girl with a big nose spouted from the front of the class.

"I'll pay $15000!"

"Shut up! I'll pay you $20000 To use your ability on me!"

"I bet the Griffiths and the Reids gave him at least 25 grand! So I'll give 30 grand!"

"35 grand!"

"Don't listen to them! I'll give you 38 grand!"

The entire class erupted into a bidding war. The final bid ended up at $50000. Moby was just sitting in his seat, shocked.

He tried his best to tell them that he doesn't have a plastic surgery or a beautification related ability, but they didn't listen.

'How did it all come to this?' He groaned in annoyance.

Suddenly, Abby exploded out of her seat in an angry manner.

"Everyone just shut up! You know that I am standing right here? I had no such plastic surgery or beautification ability done on me! All I did was wear makeup and tighter clothes and people start going wild and throwing assumptions for no reason. I can guarantee you that that weakling over there has no ability at all. Have you seen an ability user have a power level of only 800? No, I bet you haven't! All I wanted to ask him about is what kind of moves and martial arts he used to defeat me in the tournament. That is all. If you have a problem then take it up with me! If you want to keep slandering my name, go right ahead, but be prepared for what's coming to you!" Abby said with a murderous gaze that sent shivers down everyone's spine.

She was still the strongest one in the class by far so no one dared go against her word. Everyone in the class immediately sat down without speaking a word.

Most students thought that what Abby said was true, and they were overreacting. It does make sense for her to want to ask him how she was defeated and it made sense that Moby's power level was way too low to have an ability. So they just dropped the matter.

'Abby… you are my saviour now!' Moby thought, feeling immense pride at his servant's actions.

Suddenly, Moby heard a screaming voice that seemed almost to the point of tears enter his ears.

"I'm SOOO SORRY MY LORD! I PROMISE I DIDN'T MEAN ANY OF WHAT I SAID! I WAS JUST…"

"Shhhh… it's ok… of course, I understand. You don't need to explain yourself. You acted perfectly! You truly saved me! I'm so very proud of you. Keep up the good work!" Moby told her with a soothing voice like a mother comforting a crying child.

"Th...th...th… thank you for your kind words my lord… I am truly undeserving of such a good… friend…" Abby replied, stuttering on almost every word due to her sheer happiness.

1 minute later, when Professor Leo entered the class, he was expecting to find the usual loud and rowdy students of his turn quiet as soon as he enters the room. The same as every day. But, he was surprised to find that the class was even more silent than a funeral.

'What the fuck happened here?' Leo thought in surprise.
