At the end of the black mist permeating the botanical garden, stood a blurred figure, like a ruler standing on a black reef, only the brilliant glow on his body and the emerald glimmer in his eyes, swaying in the black mist, were particularly clear.

He sighed softly, and his gentle voice followed.

"Why do you have to make the principal work overtime?"

He held a book in his hand, like a teacher coming to substitute for a class.

"...!!"

The cultist Lilette couldn't care less about Hyperion at this moment. A strong sense of danger climbed from her toes to her whole body, making her feel that the air in the botanical garden was extremely heavy.

Logically speaking.

Even if the rules of the classroom were violated, there would be no problem as long as the principal didn't inspect it.

And the principal of this academy rarely inspects such lower-level classrooms!

Except for the necessary special mechanism earlier, which drove the principal.

But now, the mission objective of this shadow world has ended.

Following the mechanism of most shadow worlds, this level of great demon should not take any further action!

In an instant, Lilette felt that it was not only Hyperion who had to break out of this classroom.

Under the principal's pursuit, only by surviving the last ten minutes or so of this shadow world could they return to the real world alive!

The silver alien body, Undying Mercury, which was originally blocking the door, was now engaged in a fierce battle with the director-level demon teacher who had blasted open the door with magic.

And there were two fifth-order demon teachers following the principal.

Although Lilette was confident that she could break through the two fifth-order demon teachers.

But the truly terrifying one was the mysterious demon principal, who could make senior professors fawn over him!

The magic power on his body was controlled extremely delicately, weak and stable to the point where she could hardly perceive it.

There were usually only two possibilities in this situation.

Either the other party's magic power was really weak.

Or, the other party was proficient in controlling magic power, and far stronger than you!

Obviously, the principal of this demon academy belonged to the latter.

The holy and bizarre shadow of light standing in front of the door seemed to block the high wall of her hope of escape, insurmountable.

Just as Lilette didn't know how to deal with it, Hyperion had already sprinted towards the principal at full speed.

"Foolish..."

Lilette naturally wouldn't stop the desperate act of rushing to her death.

Originally, she was thinking about prioritizing returning to the real world alive and temporarily giving up killing the Duchess.

But now that the Duchess insisted on seeking her own death, it suited her perfectly.

This kind of demon who wielded absolute power and strength wouldn't care which student caused the tragic state of the botanical garden. All three students on the scene had obvious traces of participating in the fight.

However.

Just as Lilette thought that the principal or the demon teacher beside him would kill Hyperion in the next second.

Lilette only saw the principal letting Hyperion run near him, without any action!

"?"

Lilette looked at the radiant demon in the black mist in surprise.

She remembered that this principal also had this non-aggressive feeling in the principal's office before.

And this was the most daunting thing for her.

Because the more kind, rational, and peaceful-minded a demon looks, the more likely they are to be an extremely psychologically twisted individual that human minds cannot understand!

In the distance.

Seeing that Hyperion had escaped danger, Lanqi finally opened the book in his hand again and read it.

This nonchalant posture was as if he didn't regard the fifth-order female killer in the botanical garden as an enemy that needed to be taken seriously at all.

"Student, please describe the situation that happened in this classroom."

Lanqi said gently to Hyperion not far away while reading the book.

"..."

Hyperion hesitated slightly, seeming to understand Lanqi's thoughts a little.

"They killed the demon teacher and all the students in the classroom."

She looked at the cultist Lilette and the black mist warlock following her, looked at Lanqi with a slightly fearful expression, and said in a trembling voice.

"Do you two have anything to say?"

Lanqi's gaze was still on the book in his hand, flipping the page lightly, asking the two cultists without even raising his head.

"...No!"

Seeing that the principal's attitude seemed to be neutral, Lilette quickly restrained her impulse to break through by force at the cost of her life.

Sure enough, there was always rationality in the shadow world.

Even if the principal came, there was a mechanism to follow, so there was still a chance.

Now her goal had become to survive the last ten minutes or so of the shadow world and return to the real world alive.

Even if the mechanism failed, as long as she could communicate with this principal more through dialogue and delay for a few more minutes, her chances of survival would be greatly improved!

"It was the guy behind you who destroyed the rules of the classroom, summoned the silver creature, killed the teacher, blocked the door of the classroom, and tried to kill us all and steal our credit coins!"

Lilette argued with anger, looking like she couldn't tolerate Hyperion pretending to be weak, innocent, and distorting the facts.

"Is that so..."

Lanqi's voice was absent-minded.

As if looking at the book in front of him was actually more important.

From the moment he arrived in the classroom, judging from the position in the classroom and the confrontation that could be formed, it did look more like Hyperion and the silver alien were fighting Lilette and the black mist warlock two against two.

"Do you have anything to refute?"

Lanqi asked Hyperion again.

"...They're lying. That silver summon is not mine at all. I, I can't do such a thing."

Hyperion began to act, as if in tears.

Although she knew this wasn't something she would do.

But in order to cooperate with Lanqi, she had to learn to be bad.

Hyperion understood that Lanqi hadn't been able to call more demon teachers in order to rush over as soon as possible.

At this moment, there should still be a large number of demon teachers on their way to this classroom.

Lanqi's seemingly calm appearance, even with his mind only on the book in front of him, was actually his deliberate act of delaying time with his natural acting skills!

In the distance.

Lilette had already secretly controlled Undying Mercury to try to break through and attack her, playing out a scene where she and Undying Mercury were enemies.

When she saw Hyperion's flustered appearance, she felt that the hope of sophistry was even greater.

"Principal, you can let the director stop blocking the silver envoy and see who it will automatically attack without receiving orders!"

Lilette knew that she might not be able to fool the principal.

But.

Compared to Hyperion, she had an absolute control advantage in this classroom, and had many ways to direct and act to frame Hyperion.

"...You both have your own opinions, and there is indeed no hard evidence on the scene. But from what I've heard so far, I'm more inclined to the latter statement. It does seem like you two were deadlocked in a two-on-two battle for a long time."

Lanqi said unhurriedly,

"Well, I don't want to waste any more time. Whoever goes to assist the director in dealing with this silver envoy, I will assume that person is telling the truth."

He seemed to be a little tired and just wanted to focus on reading.

Hearing this, Hyperion was stunned.

Finally, the true intentions were revealed.

She knew that this grandson Lanqi was starting to mess with other people's minds again!
