February Mini-comic Poll #1 Winner! (Patreon)

Well this one was pretty darn close! But the winner with 25% of the votes is

...

3. A Matter/Master of Attitude - At the Tenshyr Mage's Academy, an apprentice (human, male presenting) in the department of Demonology, desperate to show up his stuffy professor, imports a guidebook from the Kingdom of Morundine - for all their sinister reputation, the Nightfolk are at the forefront of demonological sciences, after all. To the student's surprise, he finds it's not a book of magical methodology so much as a book of etiquette - the key to the proper summoning and control of otherworldly beings, by Morundinian theory, is all about behavior, showing them who's boss. Such displays requires assertiveness, the right outfits, often chains and cuffs...

While initially skeptical, the student gives it a try, and finds that the techniques have startling results with getting demons to heel (the secret, it turns out, is getting said demons to like being put to heel). The more the student embraces these techniques, and not only does their demonological prowess grow, but a plethora of side effects shift them to all the more easily embody the role of the summoner-domme - effects the student welcomes as another manifestation of their growing power (and maybe some quiet affirmation).

By the time the former graduate's thesis is completed, she's revolutionized Tenshyrian demonology, and proven herself a formidable theoretical and practical demonologist. After the previous dean of demonology takes a permanent leave of absence (don't worry - wherever he is now, he very much likes it there), the former student confidently steps in to fill the position, transformed by her methods to a vision of a confident Nightfolk Sorceress and Devil Harnesser - though don't worry, she promises she'll play nice.
