016 Dekan Starts Getting Dirty
After receiving the test paper with the answers written on it, Cornelia didn’t hesitate. She immediately raised her hand, signaling to the examiner that she wished to submit her paper.
Not only the other challengers, but even the demon students looked on in shock.
The exam had only been going on for over ten minutes, and she wanted to submit already?
However, Cornelia wasn’t the least bit nervous. In fact, she even felt a tinge of joy.
She had never experienced anything like this before.
She actually had a day where she could submit her paper early.
The two examiners noticed Cornelia’s signal at the first opportunity and were practically racing toward her.
The more fierce-looking one was closer to Cornelia.
The other, seeing this, could only click his tongue in annoyance and gave up coming to collect the paper.
The examiner walked up to Cornelia’s desk, forcefully yanking the test paper away, and began to leer over it with a grin.
In his mind, he was ready to kill this little demon.
At this school, there was no student who could finish this set of questions in under ten minutes.
Submitting this early—wasn’t that just asking for death?
Of course,
The formalities still had to be followed.
After all, the examiner needed to officially determine that the student’s test score was below 60 points to justify killing her rightfully.
Otherwise, it would violate the rules and trigger the principal’s wrath.
The principal was watching the examiners closely too.
But as the examiner looked at the test paper, his brow gradually furrowed, seemingly doubting his own existence.
Multiple-choice questions… Correct, correct, correct, correct…
Could she really have guessed all of them right by chance?
Hiss…
Problem-solving questions… Not too far off either?
Could there really be a study god in this world?
She not only passed but scored 90 points!
It was ghostly.
“Tsk! You can go.”
The examiner put away the test paper, barely concealing the irritation on his face.
But rules couldn’t be violated. The first to submit and achieve high scores needed to be rewarded.
He pulled out a red ticket with a shadow of a demon’s silhouette from his pocket and threw it onto Cornelia’s desk.
He didn’t bother to explain what the ticket was for and walked away, returning to his examination duties.
Clearly, he was too angry to speak.
The cooked duck had flown away, which made him especially sulky.
Cornelia picked up the ticket, happily left the examination room, and her little dragon tail wagged unconsciously along the way.
Then she waited for Dekan outside the examination room according to his instructions.
She felt secure.
Having a teammate who was good at studying made her feel incredibly secure.
…
Dekan had been writing furiously all along but noticed the attitude of the two examiners when they collected the papers earlier.
They had both initially judged that candidates submitting so early were looking for death.
And they both had a strong desire to slaughter the candidates.
They wanted to rush over, collect the papers, and then kill the candidates with their own hands.
A smirk appeared on Dekan’s lips.
Indeed, his guesses were correct, and Cornelia’s submission process helped verify all his conjectures.
These two demons could be properly played around with.
Cornelia was safe already, and he was done with his paper.
Now he could act without restraint.
He decided to temporarily call the two examiners “Lion” and “Goat.”
One of them had a more terrifying face, while the other looked rather gentle with goat horns.
It was known that Lion’s movement speed was 1.25 times that of Goat.
The two examiners could interrupt their fixed patrol routes when they saw a candidate voluntarily submit, deciding whether to go over and collect the paper.
And their walking speed would not change.
So…
If the distance between Lion and himself happened to be 1.25 times the distance between Goat and himself, signaling to submit the paper would make them arrive at the same time?
Hoho, worth a try.
Dekan flipped the front of his test paper over on the desk to prevent the examiner from quickly seeing his accuracy.
After waiting for a bit and judging the distance between the two examiners, Dekan raised his hand as a signal to submit.
As expected, this time neither examiner gave up!
They approached him from two different directions.
Just as Dekan had estimated, both examiners arrived at the same time!
Lion and Goat both suddenly reached out and grabbed Dekan’s test paper.
They glared at each other, seemingly trying their best to restrain their emotions.
But neither of them had any intention of letting go, thus entering a deadlock.
“Who do you want to give it to?”
Both examiners looked at Dekan and asked at the same time.
Their inner thoughts had at least some suspicion. Could this kid be another study god?
Arguing over this kid’s test paper may not be worthwhile.
They had imagined—this candidate’s expression would be as confident as the girl who submitted ten minutes ago.
But, what they saw was that there were faint tear marks on the corners of Dekan’s eyes.
His gaze conveyed three parts sorrow and seven parts calmness.
It was a feeling of having seen through life and death, a feeling of enlightenment and unity with the universe.
It seemed like this kid truly couldn’t answer any questions and was only submitting to gain release.
Dekan looked up with a bitter smile at the examiners.
“To die in the hands of a powerful demon is my only wish now.”
His expression was almost like saying, “Isn’t it pretty good?”
Good kid, a fatty!
This made both examiners sure that this prey in their grasp absolutely could not be let go easily!
The Lion and Goat’s gazes quickly shifted to each other, and they both sneered.
“Let go.”
“You should let go.”
“Do you think you’re stronger than me?”
“Do you want a taste?”
The dialogue between the examiners was filled with animosity.
The Lion even twisted his neck, the crackling sound scaring the other candidates nearby.
The originally dim classroom felt like it was covered by a dark storm cloud, a cloud that seemed ready to swallow everything in sight.
Dekan’s face remained unchanged.
He secretly pulled out a magic card from behind his back.
[Mental Interference]
[Type: Magic Card]
[Rarity: Purple Rare]
[Rank: 2]
[Effect: Conduct mental interference on the target, briefly affecting their actions. Unable to affect targets with a vastly different mental attribute, and the stronger the target’s spirit, the more mana it consumes.]
[Note: Sorry!]
Dekan decisively activated the Mental Interference and directed the Lion to punch the Goat fiercely in the face.
“What the hell! You want a fight?”
“I… I ※※※, am I afraid of you?”
The Lion had initially intended to explain, but the Goat didn’t hesitate and retaliated with a punch right in the Lion’s face, causing the Lion’s anger to explode.
“I’ll show you how to die, you little punk!!”
“I’ve hated you for a long time! Today, you’ll be the first on my list!”
The two demons seemed to lose all rationality and began to fiercely fight each other.
Completely forgetting their responsibilities.
Students who hadn’t managed to dodge were caught in the chaos; some were thrown away while others died instantly.
Many desks and chairs shattered into pieces, and the originally black walls were stained with fresh red blood.
The battle between the two examiners was extremely brutal, not just a struggle of sheer strength and magic but also a mental onslaught aimed at completely destroying and overpowering the other.
They bit and tore at each other’s bodies, even devouring each other’s flesh.
In no time, the demon’s blood flowed all over the floor, and screams of agony echoed through the room, filling it with an intense stench of blood.
Dekan had already started running the moment he activated the Mental Interference magic card.
“Run!”
Dekan had already verified that the only other challenger nearby was Cornelia, and the examiner’s fight wouldn’t affect the other challengers in the short term.
Though no one knew what happened, survival instincts drove the demon candidates and other challengers mad as they rushed toward the door.
The two examiners were so enraged in their fight that they completely disregarded the fleeing candidates.
…
In the observation chamber.
“If I’m not mistaken, Dekan actually finished his test, but he intentionally tricked those two demons?”
“How dare he! Second-stage priest in a fourth-stage Shadow World playing around like that?”
“Wow… He ended up saving the other challengers as well!”
