Poor Xi Xi
Chapter 48 Lan Qi is Playing a Big Game
In the spacious and classical examination hall.
The dragon demon took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands elegantly, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face, as if this killing spree was his greatest pleasure. Then, with anticipation, he returned to patrolling the examination hall.
"Very good."
The dragon demon returned to his normal patrol route, passing by Lan Qi and praising him.
"Maintaining order in the examination hall is our duty."
Lan Qi nodded, looking very much like a class monitor.
Next, to Hyperion's scalp-tingling, incomprehensible surprise.
Lan Qi not only didn't stop.
He even started a mad 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 in their vision, with Lan Qi sitting in the back row, these blind spots were greatly reduced.
So, the entire classroom.
Became three examiners.
Lan Qi wasn't writing his own exam paper, nor was he doing anything else; he was solely focused on proctoring.
The other demon students glared at Lan Qi with resentment, their eyes as if they could draw ten thousand kinds of horses, but could never draw Lan Qi's!
…
The clock tower of Yekrite Academy, the clock pointed to five o'clock. The open-air giant screen in Gera Memorial Square, surrounded by many teaching buildings in the distance, was broadcasting today's campus news and the Shadow World challenges.
The giant magic screen stood in the center of the square. Usually, students would wait for nightfall, creating an atmosphere of an open-air cinema, before coming with drinks or snacks, sitting 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 passersby, either leisurely strolling or preparing to enjoy dinner. Some people glanced 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 were dressed up brightly by the sunlight.
However, unlike usual, the students gathered in the square at this moment were clearly more excited than usual, chattering noisily, not at all like the leisure of the afternoon!
"What is that kid doing!"
"He won't let other demons copy, and he won't let other demons have a good time either?"
"Is he crazy?"
The students who witnessed Lan Qi's confusing actions began to shout.
Although he was emphasizing a sense of immediate vengeance, he himself couldn't copy the answers!
"Newbies are like this, they completely don't understand the system."
Many upperclassmen shook their heads and sighed with painful expressions.
Too arrogant, too stupid, and, too unlucky.
The severity of the problem wasn't just that two first-year freshmen had gone 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 newbies should be exposed to. Often, even silver-level challengers might feel pressured.
Moreover, the scene showed an extremely dangerous Shadow World!
The initial location was mired in danger. There wasn't enough time to adapt or think of countermeasures; they needed to start fighting for survival.
"Something went wrong, the teachers at the Sage Academy should have already convened an emergency meeting."
In front of the open-air giant screen in Gera Memorial Square, more and more students gathered.
They were discussing animatedly.
"Isn't that the guy called Lan Qi Welford?"
A student passing by, stopped and frowned as he stared at the screen and said.
"Who? Is he famous?"
"He's the dark horse who suddenly took first place in this year's Sage Academy entrance exam, but his specific strength is unknown. The information from the third round of the exam was personally sealed by the Dean of the Sage Academy, Loren."
"We only know that his magic power as a magic combat class demon is surprisingly weak."
"Many teams haven't considered whether to recruit him yet. Now it seems there's no 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 a crowd starts gathering, it tends to snowball.
In just a few minutes, the steps directly in front of the square's open-air giant screen were almost full of Yekrite Academy students after school.
"Those two jinxes got together again."
"Oh, that's exactly what Hyperion is like, so evil and so dirty... Hehe, I wonder what that naive boy will think after he knows the truth."
Some passing nobles sneered and said, laughing and leaving the place as if they didn't care about the life or death of the two people at all.
…
Shadow World, Purgatory Corridor Academy.
A rich, bloody smell had permeated this magnificent classroom. The original seemingly elegant and immersive atmosphere had now been destroyed, replaced by a sense of mad slaughter.
Many of the tables and chairs in the examination hall were stained with dark red bloodstains, which were particularly conspicuous on the dark wooden surfaces. The entire classroom was immersed in an eerie silence, with only the sound of blood dripping on the floor and the slow echo of the examiner's footsteps.
The two demon teachers patrolling the classroom were stained with blood, and each step left a hideous bloody footprint on the floor.
The dragon-horned demon's suit was stained red, and his eyes were full of cruelty and satisfaction, while the owl demon quietly wiped the blood from his hands, his eyes dark, unable to see any emotion.
In these short few minutes.
The classroom had turned from an examination hall into a bloody killing feast, filled with an indescribable sense of absurdity.
However, even though Lan Qi was neither a demon nor a human, and became the third examiner.
There were still demon students who would choose to take the risk of cheating!
Because, for demon students who couldn't solve the questions, not cheating meant death.
Successful cheating still offered a glimmer of hope.
Sometimes Lan Qi would deliberately turn a blind eye.
Even if he saw it, he didn't report the cheating demon students.
In a sense, it also gave these demon students a little bit of hope.
And the two demon examiners seemed to tacitly approve of Lan Qi's behavior, reacting at the highest speed, pricking up their ears and waiting for Lan Qi's next report.
Back row of the examination hall.
Hyperion now had her face buried on the desk, covering her face with her hands.
Already in a state of turmoil and unease, she was now completely unable to understand Lan Qi's actions.
Moreover, she felt that, compared to Lan Qi, she was more like a person.
But anyway.
Even if they followed Lan Qi out of this examination hall today, their qualifications as people would probably be gone.
…
However.
Whether it was the demon students in the examination hall.
Or Hyperion.
Or even the Yekrite Academy students watching the Shadow World from the outside.
They didn't notice a subtle change in the classroom.
Although Lan Qi seemed to be hunting down demon students who violated the rules of the examination hall in an irregular manner, unknowingly, a kind of uneven distribution gradually appeared—
Like a matter of luck, or like Lan Qi was intentionally or unintentionally, or maybe Lan Qi was doing it on purpose, his reports would always come at a time when the dragon demon examiner was closer to the cheating examinee.
In this way, in most cases, it was the dragon demon who could catch the cheating examinee.
And each time, the owl demon could only stare blankly.
So.
The owl's eyes gradually began to harbor jealousy towards the dragon demon!
"..."
Lan Qi rested his left hand on the desk, covering his chin.
The corners of his mouth finally trembled imperceptibly.
As if he was about to burst out laughing.
