Gleaming starlight, like distant dust, dotted the deep, dark space of the boundary realm.

The two were temporarily waiting for the Shadow World's settlement and clearance rewards.

"Speaking of which, since you, Hyperion, have this kind of officially certified demon..."

Ranch murmured thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?"

Hyperion felt that Ranch's words "officially certified demon" weren't mocking her. It seemed he had another idea.

"Actually, compared to human magic runes, I personally prefer to study demon magic runes. In the future, I might make some demon magic-related props, but there's a bit of a problem with sales."

Ranch got to the point, and Hyperion understood.

Although the laws of the Kingdom of Hutton don't prohibit the circulation of magic cards of other races,

if you want to trade these special types of magic cards in official institutions or formal stores, you need to register their origin.

If you write "Made by Ranch" for all of them when declaring the source,

whether people believe it or not, it will easily lead to troublesome investigations, such as suspecting him of "smuggling" or "having improper sources," and may even think that Ranch is harboring a demon behind him to help him make magic props!

"So, you want me to be your agent, right?"

Hyperion asked.

Although she believed that Ranch couldn't possibly be the same kind of person as her father, doing something as life-threatening as "harboring a demon," if there were too many doubts in business and inspections were triggered by the upper-level departments, it would ultimately make his sales timid.

As a half-demon duchess publicly known by the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Hutton and "officially permitted" to exist, if she partnered with Ranch to open a company and put the name of the Alanzal family on it, even if Ranch circulated demon magic cards on the market in the future, the kingdom wouldn't feel out of place.

"That's right, let's establish a company and make it bigger and stronger!"

Ranch nodded, his eyes already burning with the spirit of entrepreneurship.

With Hyperion as the big boss, maybe he could find a chance to bring Talia on board as well in the future.

That old thing probably dreams of having a license to do business normally.

"No problem. It turns out that my identity as a demon can be useful in a positive way one day."

Just as they were discussing their grand entrepreneurial plan, the mission information that suddenly appeared in this quiet and strange space finally began to flicker. Pure white halos contrasted sharply in the dark space, and the words scrolled line by line.

[Shadow World Purgatory Corridor Academy has been cleared.]

[Calculation completed, evaluation is being generated.]

[Since challenger Ranch & Hyperion entered as a team, a team settlement method will be used.]

[A total of 80 ordinary classrooms, 40 advanced classrooms, 15 super-difficult classrooms, 20 non-攻略 (non-gu Gonglue - non-attackable) facilities, and 1 principal's office were cleared in this exploration-type Shadow World.]

[The team has achieved the following achievements.]

[Integrity Model A - Resolutely does not cheat and actively maintains order in the examination room]

[Demon Music Master S - You are good at using musical instruments and are also a demon music master]

[Frugality C - Enjoy the food, but also cherish the food]

[God of Art S - The professor gained a lot of artistic insights after finishing a class]

[Explosion Index SSS - Completed the regular task by 2000% more than required]

[Guardian of the Campus SSS - Protected the demons of the whole school from the wrath of the Blood Clan]

……

[Principal's Office Transformation S - The principal's office should not have had a swimming pool built in any way, but it has been put on the subsequent transformation outline by the loyal vice-principal]

[Achievement sorting completed, evaluation generation completed.]

[After a day of learning, you have become excellent graduates and principals in this academy. The results you have achieved not only deviate from the human path, but even deviate from the demon path...]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: SSS]

[Rank Increase: Ranch Rank 2 → Rank 3, Hyperion Rank 3 → Rank 4.]

At the moment when the reward settlement arrived, Ranch and Hyperion both felt a divine empowerment like enlightenment, and suddenly the two directly broke through in rank.

Ranch even found that even though he had just reached Rank 3, he wasn't that far from Rank 4.

"I...I'm Rank 4 already?"

Hyperion murmured in disbelief.

She had been thinking during the day that she would spend her first year in vain and be unable to challenge the Shadow World.

Now, before the sky lit up on the second day of enrollment, she reached Rank 4, the level of a second-year student.

More unreal than a dream.

"Does this mean we have to do Shadow Worlds with high intensity in the future?"

Ranch said with a grin.

After this demon world Shadow World, Hyperion has completely changed from a melee mage to a demon thief who is good at stealth, has resistance to musical magic, and has the acting skills of a movie queen!

"Yeah, together in two months."

Hyperion nodded seriously.

The cooldown for a Rank 4 Shadow World is two months, and they can play it again as soon as the cooldown is over.

She now felt that maybe meeting Ranch was the result of her doing good deeds and being seen by the goddess.

Although because she was a demon, the goddess also sent a lucky star who was more suitable for the demon physique.

[Reward Settlement: Purgatory Sound (Rank 3 Epic Summon Card), Transformation Art: Demon (Rank 2 Rare Spell Card), Transformation Art: Human (Rank 2 Rare Spell Card).]

Soon, three clusters of light swirling with different colors appeared in front of them like stars.

Two of them floated towards Ranch, and one floated towards Hyperion. It seemed that rewards would be generated according to the degree of contribution.

"Epic...?"

Ranch frowned as he looked at the orange light cluster.

Even though he had previously used the epic material [Poem of Compassion], coupled with the craftsmanship of the demon card master Talia, and the final drawing by Ranch himself as the art director, he had created the Rank 1 epic card [Poet of Great Love] and incurred a card loan of 75,000 pounds.

Now, after only enjoying a 12-hour dream experience, he had obtained an epic card again?

And it was a Rank 3 natural epic card.

Even Hyperion looked at the orange light cluster with a surprised expression.

Natural magic cards often have magic principles related to the challenged Shadow World and do not belong to the current era.

Therefore, most natural magic cards have a higher value than man-made epic cards of the same quality and rank.

Of course, this may be related to Ranch's final score of SSS, which was too outrageous. If it was a B or A grade score, it would be very good to get a rare quality natural magic card.

Although Hyperion had seen her father, Duke Mikael Alanzal, possess an orange epic card, this was the first time she had personally seen a natural epic-level magic card born in the Shadow World.

[Purgatory Sound]

[Category: Summon Card]

[Grade: Orange Epic]

[Rank: 3]

[Effect: Continuously consumes a large amount of mana to summon the demon wraiths of the Purgatory Theater, causing purgatory wails that cause mental pain and stiff movements to all targets. The effect gradually increases in enclosed spaces and gradually weakens in open terrain.]

[Note: The classroom forbidden area of ​​Purgatory Corridor Academy finally became a terrifying legend that has been circulating in the demon world for more than three hundred years.]
