DARKRIVE

When a modern girl mysteriously transmigrates into a broken world of magic, she awakens in the ruins of a forgotten academy—only to discover she’s its new principal. Bound to an ancient academic system and protected by invincibility within a 1000-meter radius, she must rebuild the shattered institution, recruit wayward students, and uncover the lost secrets of this realm. With a legendary Khanda sword in hand and the power of the system behind her, she will become the most powerful force in a world that has long forgotten the strength of true magic.

Arcane Principal: Rise of the Forgotten Academy

Chapter 13: The Demon Exchange Program & The Cafeteria Cult Uprising

Location: Interplanar Arrival Gate 3 (aka: That Glowing Hole in the Ground)

It started with a portal and a memo.

[Notice: Due to cross-dimensional goodwill initiatives, your Academy will host five students from the Infernal Realms. Please feed them, educate them, and keep them from conquering anyone. – Demon Ministry of Education]

Liana stared at the System message.

[Also, you may not deny this without declaring war.]

The Demon Exchange Students Arrive

They stepped through the gate with glowing eyes, perfect cheekbones, and enough magical pressure to deep-fry an elf.

Their leader was Azazel, Prince of Academic Mischief, wearing a student uniform like it was designed by a sadistic fashion demon. Because it was.

"I look forward to... corrupting your curriculum," he said with a smirk that made half the courtyard blush and the other half catch fire.

Meanwhile in the Cafeteria...

"They're eating the tables, Liana. The. Tables."

Vault Girl peeked in. One demon was chewing on a rune-inscribed leg of furniture like it was jerky.

Another chanted something that made the mashed potatoes weep.

Slime Girl screamed: "They formed a FOOD CULT!"

Behold: The Cult of the Forbidden Ladle

The demon students discovered a long-lost cafeteria relic:"The First Ladle of Gluttony," forged in the Molten Soup Cauldron of the Under-Realms.

Every lunch became a ritual.Every tray, a sacrament.Every burp, a prayer.

Rituals Included:

Blood Sausage Baptism (not metaphoric)

Sacrificing tofu for "sins of flavorlessness"

Deep-frying souls (lightly, with rosemary)

She was instantly promoted to Prophet after summoning a cursed onion ring.

Cut to: Faculty Crisis Meeting

"I wanted a quiet life. Maybe teach basic wand safety. Instead, I'm hosting Hell's culinary Avengers."

Mordain: "At least they clean up after themselves."

Janitor (now wearing a lead apron): "They tried to bribe me with sentient jam."

[Crisis Option: Ban Demons – Will Result in Flaming Lawsuit][Alternate Option: Approve Cult and Get 30% Discount on Hellfire Catering]

Azazel, the hot demon prince, approached Liana during recess. He looked sulky.

"I wanted chaos," he muttered. "But all I got was extra credit and chili cook-offs."

He paused. "Can I start a Debate Club about the morality of devouring your enemies?"

The Cult of the Forbidden Ladle was officially recognized as a "Religious Student Organization."

Vault Girl released a cookbook accidentally bound in human skin. It sold out in two dimensions.

Slime Girl opened a soul-smoothie stand. Surprisingly ethical!
