Actually, she does." Xylon explained, "According to the standard for completing a mission, she applied to the Demon Control Agency for a mission allowance. Additionally, she also consulted past practices and applied to the school for extra credit rewards."

If anything, she wasn't as discredited as she appeared.

Naturally, Reuben was surprised at how proactive she was, asking for benefits from both sides. The coldness that had arisen from the school's actions had dissipated considerably.

His gaze displayed signs of satisfaction, and his tone relaxed. "So, did they approve her request?"

His last words prompted a glare from Reuben. Why didn't he report such key information from the start?

Xylon felt aggrieved. He only wanted to explain the cause and effect clearly so Reuben wouldn't think that Shannon had skipped classes on purpose.

If he led with that, Reuben, with his temper, would've surely become upset and quickly summoned her over for questioning. Now that he had learned the sequence of events, Shannon's "truancy" became justified.

Frankly, Xylon didn't think he had done anything wrong. In fact, he wasn't even far off to assume that Reuben would've summoned her over for questioning.

Now that he had learned the truth, Reuben decided to seek her out instead.
