Chapter 115 Third Examiner

Inside the spacious and classic examination hall.

The dragon demon took out a handkerchief and elegantly wiped his hands. His expression was quite content, as if this slaughter was his greatest pleasure. Then, with anticipation, he resumed his rounds as an examiner.

"Very good."

The dragon demon returned to his normal route, praising Lan Qi as he passed by.

"Maintaining order in the examination hall is our duty."

Lan Qi nodded, giving off a prefect vibe.

Then, to Hyperion's dismay and incomprehension,

Lan Qi didn't stop.

He even started a crazy reporting spree!

He seemed familiar with and even able to predict various cheating methods, catching every cheating demon student in the examination hall!

Although the two examiners had blind spots, with Lan Qi sitting in the back row, the blind spots were greatly reduced.

So the entire classroom became three examiners.

Lan Qi wasn't writing his own exam paper or doing anything else. He was solely focused on supervising the exam.

The other demon students cast resentful glances at Lan Qi, their eyes suggesting they could draw ten thousand kinds of horses, but none that resembled Lan Qi's!

…

The clock tower of Y克力忒 Academy, the clock pointed to five o'clock, and the open-air giant screen in Jela Memorial Square, surrounded by many teaching buildings in the distance, was broadcasting today's campus news and the Shadow World currently being challenged.

The giant magic screen stood in the center of the square. Usually, people waited for night to fall, creating a nighttime open-air movie atmosphere. Many students would then grab drinks or snacks, sit on the opposite steps to watch and chat.

At this moment, the crowd in the square was sparse.

Most of the people on the surrounding roads were passers-by, either leisurely strolling or preparing to enjoy dinner. Some looked up at the open-air giant screen and then continued on their way.

The setting sun shone on the windows of the surrounding buildings, reflecting dazzling light, illuminating the square, the open-air giant screen, and the steps, as if they had been dressed up brightly by the sunlight.

However, unlike usual, the students gathered in the square at this moment were noticeably more excited, chattering noisily, far from the leisurely atmosphere of the afternoon!

"What is this kid doing!"

"He won't let other demons copy, and he won't let them have an easy time either?"

"Is he crazy?"

Students who witnessed Lan Qi's confusing actions began to shout.

Although his actions could be seen as seeking revenge, he himself couldn't copy the answers either!

"Newcomers are like this, they don't understand the mechanics at all."

Many upperclassmen shook their heads and sighed in pain.

Too arrogant, too stupid, and too unlucky.

The severity of the problem wasn't just that two freshmen went to challenge the Shadow World on the first day of school.

The key was why they were caught up in a fourth-tier Shadow World.

A fourth-tier Shadow World was definitely not a level that newcomers should be exposed to. Often, even silver-level challengers might feel pressured.

Moreover, the scene showed an exceptionally dangerous Shadow World!

The initial location was fraught with danger, leaving no time to adapt or devise countermeasures; survival was the only priority.

"There's been an accident. The teachers at the Sage Academy should have already called an emergency meeting."

More and more students gathered in front of the open-air giant screen in Jela Memorial Square.

They discussed animatedly.

"Isn't that Lan Qi Willford?"

A student passing by stopped and frowned as he stared at the screen.

"Who? Is he famous?"

"He's this year's dark horse who suddenly took first place in the Sage Academy's entrance exam, but his specific strength is unknown. The information from the third round of the exam was personally sealed by Dean Loren of the Sage Academy."

"All we know is that his magic power is surprisingly weak for a magic-type combat demon."

"Many teams haven't decided whether to recruit him yet. Now it seems they don't need to consider it. It's already a blessing if he can come back alive."

"Don't say that. If he can come back alive, he might become famous immediately."

Once people started watching, it often spread quickly like dough rising.

In just a few minutes, the steps directly in front of the square's open-air giant screen were almost full of Y克力忒 Academy students after school.

"The two harbingers of doom have gotten together again."

"Oh, that's exactly what Hyperion is like. How evil, how dirty… Heh, I wonder what that naive boy will think when he learns the truth."

Some nobles passing by sneered and left, as if they didn't care about the life or death of the two.

…

Shadow World, Purgatory Hall Academy.

A strong smell of blood had spread in the ornate classroom. The originally elegant and immersive atmosphere had now been destroyed, replaced by a crazy aura of slaughter.

Many tables and chairs in the examination hall were stained with dark red blood, which stood out on the dark wooden surface. The entire classroom was now in a strange silence, with only the sound of blood dripping on the floor and the examiners' footsteps echoing slowly.

The two demon teachers patrolling the classroom were covered in blood. Each step left a hideous bloody footprint on the floor.

The dragon-horned demon's suit had been dyed red, and his eyes were full of cruelty and satisfaction, while the owl demon quietly wiped the blood from his hands. His eyes were dark, and he couldn't see any emotion.

In these short few minutes,

The classroom had turned from an examination hall into a bloody slaughter feast, filled with an unspeakable sense of absurdity.

However, even though Lan Qi was no longer acting like a demon or a human and had become the third examiner,

There were still demon students who would take the risk of trying to cheat!

Because, for demon students who couldn't solve the problems, not cheating meant death.

Successful cheating still offered a glimmer of hope.

Lan Qi sometimes deliberately turned a blind eye.

Even if he saw it, he didn't report the cheating demon students.

In a sense, he also gave these demon students a little hope.

The two demon examiners seemed to acquiesce to Lan Qi's behavior, reacting as quickly as possible, pricking up their ears, and waiting for Lan Qi's next report.

In the back row of the examination hall.

Hyperion now had his face buried in the table, covering his face with his hands.

Already confused and uneasy, he could no longer understand Lan Qi's actions at all.

Moreover, he felt that, compared to Lan Qi, he was more like a person.

But no matter what,

Even if they left this examination hall with Lan Qi today, their status as people would probably be gone.

…

However.

Whether it was the demon students in the examination hall,

Or Hyperion,

Or even the Y克力忒 Academy students watching the Shadow World from the outside.

None of them noticed a subtle change in the classroom.

Although Lan Qi seemed to be hunting demon students who violated the examination hall rules in an irregular manner, unknowingly, an uneven distribution gradually appeared——

Like a matter of luck, or Lan Qi being intentional or unintentional, or perhaps Lan Qi was deliberately doing it, his reports always came at a time when the dragon demon examiner was closer to the cheating examinees.

In this way, in most cases, it was the dragon demon who could catch the cheating examinees.

And every time, the owl demon could only stare blankly.

So,

The owl's eyes gradually became jealous and resentful of the dragon demon!

"..."

Lan Qi rested his left hand on the table, covering his chin.

The corners of his mouth finally trembled slightly imperceptibly.

It seemed like he was about to burst out laughing.
