In a spacious and classical examination hall. 【I hope readers remember our domain name by this point.

The Dragon Demon took out his handkerchief and elegantly wiped his hands, a look of great satisfaction on his face, as if this carnage was his greatest pleasure. He then returned to the patrol with renewed anticipation.

"That's good."

The Dragon Devil returned to its normal patrol route, and as it passed by Lance, it praised him.

"It is our duty to maintain order in the examination hall."

Ranchi nodded, looking rather like a class monitor.

Next, a tingling sensation and incomprehension seized Hubert's scalp.

Ranch not only didn't stop.

...even switched to crazy reporting mode.

He seemed very familiar with, even able to predict various cheating methods, catching every cheating demon student in the exam room!

Although the two examiners had blind spots, with Lance sitting in the back row, the blind spots were significantly reduced.

Then the whole classroom...

There are now three examiners.

Lanche now doesn't even write his own exam papers, he doesn't do anything else, he just concentrates on invigilating.

The other demon students glared resentfully at Lanchi, their eyes like those that could paint ten thousand horses, yet couldn't capture the likeness of Lanchi's steed!

……

The clock tower of the Ictere Academy pointed to five o'clock, its shadow stretching across the open-air giant screen on Gera Memorial Square, surrounded by numerous teaching buildings in the distance. The screen played today's campus news and the currently challenged Shadow World.

A giant magical screen stood in the center of the square, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of an outdoor movie night, especially when the sun set. Many students would gather, holding drinks or snacks, and watch the spectacle from the steps opposite the screen, chatting and enjoying themselves.

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

On the surrounding roads, mostly passersby could be seen. Some were leisurely strolling, others preparing to enjoy their dinner. A few glanced at the open-air giant screen and then continued on their way.

The setting sun cast its rays onto the windows of surrounding buildings, reflecting dazzling light that illuminated the square, open-air screen, and steps, making them all seem adorned in a radiant glow.

However, unlike usual, the students gathered in the square at this moment were clearly more excited than usual. They were noisy and bustling, not at all like their leisurely afternoons!

"What is this kid doing!"

"Why shouldn't the other demons copy him Doesn't he make it hard for other demons too"

"Crazy"

Students who witnessed Lanci's bewildering actions began to shout.

Although he acts on the principle of "quick revenge", he can't even figure out the answer himself!

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

Many seniors shook their heads and sighed in pain.

Too arrogant, too foolish, and, unfortunately, too unlucky.

The severity of the problem is no longer just two first-grade students running off to challenge the world on the first day of school.

The key is why they were drawn into a fourth-dimensional shadow world.

The Fourth Stage Shadow World is absolutely not a level that beginners should touch. Often, even Silver-ranked challengers would find it stressful to deal with.

And in the scene, there is also an abnormally dangerous shadow world.

The initial location immediately plunges into deadly danger. Without sufficient time to adapt or devise a strategy, survival becomes the primary objective.

"An accident has occurred. The teachers at the Academy of Wisdom should have already convened an emergency meeting."

More and more students gathered in front of the outdoor giant screen at Gerald Memorial Square.

There was a heated discussion.

Isn't this the fellow named Lance Wilford

Students who passed by and stopped here, some frowned and stared at the screen.

"Who is that Are they famous"

"He's the dark horse who unexpectedly took first place in this year's Wise Men's Academy entrance exam. However, his exact strength is unknown; information from the third round of the exam was personally sealed by the headmaster of the Wise Men's Academy, Loren."

"The only thing I know is that his magical ability as a legal combatant was surprisingly weak."

"Many teams haven't decided yet whether to recruit him, but for now, the fact that he's alive is a blessing."

"You're kidding, right He's actually alive after that Maybe he'll be famous instantly."

When a crowd gathers, once it gets started, it often swells like dough rising rapidly.

In just a few short minutes, the steps facing the open-air giant screen in the square were almost filled with students from the Iketerite Academy who had just finished their classes.

Two disaster stars got together again.

"So that's what the Duchess lady really looks like, how evil and dirty a demon race... Hehe, I wonder what that innocent boy will think when he finds out the truth."

Even some passing nobles laughed scornfully and left the place, as if they didn't care about the two people's lives at all.

……

Shadow World, Purgatory Corridor Academy.

In this opulent classroom, a thick metallic scent of blood now permeated the air. The once elegant and alluring atmosphere had been shattered, replaced by an aura of frenzied slaughter.

Inside the examination room, many desks and chairs were stained with dark red blood. The bright color stood out against the dark wood surface. The entire classroom was shrouded in an eerie silence, broken only by the sound of blood dripping onto the floor and the slow echo of the examiner's footsteps.

Two demon teachers patrolled the classroom, their bodies stained with blood. Every step they took left a grotesque bloody footprint on the floor.

The dragon demon's suit was stained red, his eyes filled with cruelty and satisfaction, while the owl demon quietly wiped the blood from his hand, his eyes dark, showing no emotion.

Within these few short minutes.

The classroom has transformed from an exam hall into a bloody massacre, filled with an unspeakable sense of absurdity.

However, even though Lan Chi wasn't a devil nor human, he became the third examiner.

Even some naughty students will choose to take the risk and try cheating!

Because, the devil student who can't solve problems, will die if he doesn't cheat.

Even though cheating has worked, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Sometimes Ranch also chooses to turn a blind eye.

Even though he saw it, he didn't report the cheating demons.

In a way, this also gave those demon students a little hope.

And the two demon examiners, as if condoning Lanchi's actions, responded at the highest speed, pricked their ears and waited for Lanchi's next report.

Back row of the exam room.

Hubert was now burying his face in the desk, hands covering his eyes.

Already emotionally distressed, she now couldn't understand Lance's actions at all.

And she felt that, compared to Lance, she was the one who seemed more like an individual.

But no matter what.

Even if they left the examination hall with Ranch today, their human identities are probably gone.

……

However.

Whether it's the devil students in the exam hall.

Still Hubertian.

Or perhaps watching the students of the Ecthelion Academy in the Shadow World from afar.

None of them noticed a subtle change in the classroom.

Although Ranchi appeared to be hunting down demon students who violated school rules in a haphazard manner, an uneven distribution gradually emerged.

It's like a matter of luck, or perhaps Lanchi is deliberately doing it. Maybe he just does it unintentionally. Whatever the case, his reports always seem to occur at a time that brings the Dragon Demon examiner closer to the cheaters.

Thus, in most cases, it is the Dragon Demon who catches the cheating examinees.

And every time, the Owl Demon could only stare blankly.

Then.

The owl's eyes, began to gradually harbor resentment towards the dragon demon!

"……"

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Lance rested his left hand on the table, covering his chin.

The corners of his mouth finally trembled slightly.

He seemed on the verge of breaking into a smile.

Ranch's illustration will be ready next month, still created by my old partner, Teacher Cui! You can refer to Talia's portrait on the book cover for her style; that's her work~.
