237 Dekan Plays Something Exciting
“Each of these books contains sealed exam questions and objective question answers, corresponding to various subjects. They are from the highest academy of the human empire that fell a thousand years ago.”
Altice pointed at the document cases on the table that looked like books and continued,
“If you want to choose some subjective question subjects, then only you can fight, and ‘Dekan’ will become the examiner to judge the answers.”
After saying this, Altice pointed her finger at Morion.
“‘Dekan’?”
Dekan doubted he had heard something wrong.
He looked at Morion with a puzzled expression.
If he hadn’t misunderstood, Altice had just called Morion “Dekan” a moment ago?
Morion, looking quite uneasy, turned his head and started whistling silently.
“His name is Dekan.”
Altice pointed at Morion and continued to explain.
“…”
Dekan was silent for a moment.
He gave Morion a death stare.
But Morion refused to look at him for a long time.
Now Dekan was certain.
That bastard Morion!
He must have been impersonating Dekan when they introduced themselves!
Unable to endure Dekan’s piercing gaze any longer, Morion reluctantly glanced at Dekan.
Dekan sneered, nodding slightly as if to say, “I caught you red-handed, didn’t I?”
Morion, on the other hand, stared at him with a falsely serious expression, as if saying, “Let’s focus on the bigger picture; we can talk about this later.”
The fleeting sense of trust they had just established
crumbled once again with a ‘snap.’
It seemed brothers like Dekan and Morion would be hard to come by in the future.
Altice, watching the inexplicable interaction between the little succubus and the young man, couldn’t understand it at all.
She was confused and extremely curious.
Seeing that their exchange had ended, Altice continued to explain the rules:
“These exam papers have never been opened by me, and I have no idea about their answers. However, I can tell you that I have lived for a thousand years, and most of that time I’ve spent as a scholar. Humans know what I know, humans don’t know what—I still know.”
Altice’s words were filled with pride, as if she were an all-knowing great scholar.
“Since many of the subjects inside are considered history and almost impossible for anyone other than a dedicated researcher to solve, I’ll let you choose the subjects first. You select the exams for the first and third rounds, and I’ll select the exam for the second round.”
“Of course, if there is a third round.”
Altice finished her sentence with eyes that looked down on Dekan like a professor at a prestigious university scrutinizing an uncultured delinquent girl.
She was very sure that she could defeat Dekan in two rounds.
“…”
Normally, Dekan should have been happy upon hearing this rule.
After all, he originally didn’t think he would lose.
Moreover, Altice had given him the critical right to choose subjects first.
But Altice’s attitude irritated Dekan even more.
“If I win, you will let me and ‘Dekan’ go to the fifth level, but what if I lose?”
Dekan deliberately emphasized the two words “Dekan.”
This made Morion, who was standing nearby, suddenly alert.
He understood Dekan’s meaning.
Dekan was telling him to give his all and not hold back, to make the arrogant female demon regret her actions!
Altice asked, “Do you have 4000 Demon Points?”
Dekan countered, “What if I do?”
“If you do, then you should leave quickly. Don’t bother me again, and just go straight to the fifth level.”
Altice said.
Her answer surprised Dekan a little.
If this woman adhered to honor as well, it would make it harder for him to torment her.
“If there’s an opportunity, wouldn’t you kill me? If that’s the case, even if I win, it would feel wrong to humiliate you.”
Dekan tried to tempt Altice’s evil thoughts.
“The arrogance you display makes me laugh. I don’t want to dirty the carpet; I just find your presence extremely nauseating.”
Altice replied as if Dekan didn’t exist.
“…haha, hahaha.”
Dekan laughed.
“Would you dare to raise the stakes?”
Dekan looked at Altice with a mocking tone.
Altice: “There’s no need.”
Dekan: “If you were truly confident in winning, you wouldn’t refuse to raise the stakes, right? Are you already scared before the start?”
Altice: “…”
She knew it was a provocation.
But she was exceptionally irritated by this little succubus’ attitude.
“Go on then, tell me what stakes do you want to raise.”
Dekan: “The loser has to wear a cat ear maid outfit and dance.”
Upon hearing Dekan’s words, Altice was stunned.
After a long time, she confirmed that she hadn’t misunderstood, and with a touch of anger, she asked,
“Are you playing tricks on me?”
Dekan: “No, very serious challenge, just asking if you dare or not. If you don’t, just admit it.”
Altice: “Haha… the question is, where do you even get such things?”
Dekan pointed at his Demon Bracelet: “Special services available on the third level.”
“…”
Altice fell into silence, not knowing what to say.
Clearly, she still thought this little succubus’s proposal was ridiculous.
Such a thing might not matter much to a succubus who had little sense of shame.
But for her, it was absolutely unacceptable.
Dekan: “You don’t dare?”
Altice: “Haha, it’s simply unnecessary. I have no interest in making you wear that outfit and dance.”
“Small wonder that after studying humans for so long, you still don’t get it.”
Dekan sighed regretfully, shaking his head.
“What did you say?”
Altice was displeased again.
She found herself irritated whenever this little succubus spoke.
Dekan didn’t reply. He just looked at Morion and shrugged with a smile, not saying a word.
Altice also looked at Morion with a confused expression.
At that time,
Morion’s expression.
Had the pleasure of thirty percent, seventy percent of anticipation, and a little bit of hesitation.
Don’t ask why it adds up to eleven points.
Because no sane person would hesitate on a matter of principle.
But Morion had absolutely been thinking just now about whether to intentionally sabotage Dekan’s chances to make him dance in a cat ear maid outfit on live stream before using some other tricks together with Dekan to deal with Altice.
“…”
Altice fell silent again for a long while.
She obviously couldn’t understand Morion’s attitude.
“You don’t understand his reaction, do you? You haven’t understood a thing since just a while ago, have you? Don’t you want to hear what he thinks when he sees me dance in a cat ear maid outfit? There must be answers there that you wouldn’t understand in a lifetime. That is, if you win me.”
Dekan mocked.
Altice’s expression clearly twisted.
And Dekan looked down on her like she had done to him earlier.
“Fine! I’ll double the bet then! But you can’t possibly win over me!”
Altice finally made up her mind in the midst of her hesitation with clenched teeth.
