Dekan had never seen someone so lively.
“Chloix? Are you sure you can find him?”
Dekan asked.
“He should be in the dormitory, meow! He rarely goes out!”
Teacher Cat was writhing in agony while lying in Dekan’s arms.
Dekan frowned slightly; at first, he thought Chloix was the name of a certain teacher.
Seems to be a student.
To reach the sixth rank at such a young age is truly impressive. After all, this self-proclaimed teacher, the useless cat, is only at the fifth rank.
“How do we find him?”
“Go to the male dormitory of the Mage Academy, fourth floor, room four, meow!”
“Understood.”
Thus, under the guidance of Teacher Cat, Dekan brought it to room 404 of the Mage Academy dormitory.
“Dong dong.”
Dekan knocked on the door.
Although he hadn’t met the owner of the dormitory yet, just seeing the room number made Dekan develop a slight liking for him. He seemed to be someone with a predestined connection.
However, Dekan couldn’t help but be puzzled. If the person lives on the fourth floor, could they be a freshman?
According to the dormitory rotation rules, before they entered, the third-year students of the previous session graduated and left, freeing up the fourth and fifth floors. Thus, most of the students in their year would reside on these two floors. Chloix, who was already at the sixth rank, was unlikely to be a freshman.
Maybe he was actually a third-year student who got held back?
Dekan stood outside the door contemplating as he heard footsteps coming from within, gradually becoming clearer.
Soon, the door was opened by a young man with brown hair. His features were handsome, his eyebrows slightly drooping, giving the impression of a very gentle person.
“Hello… Are you Dekan?”
The brown-haired youth was initially surprised upon seeing Dekan, then his face was filled with confusion. This young man must surely be Chloix, the one Teacher Cat mentioned.
“Chloix, save me, meow!”
Before Dekan could explain, Teacher Cat instantly leaped toward Chloix, causing him to fumble awkwardly while catching it.
“Teacher Cat, what trouble have you gotten into this time?”
“This bastard somehow made a poison that cannot be purified by magic! I am poisoned, I’m dying, I’m dying, meow!”
Teacher Cat shouted noisily.
Dekan snorted coldly.
“You foolish cat, you sneaked into my dormitory and ate my food, and now you’re blaming me?”
He would have summoned the Ruined Bard if it weren’t for the cat’s somewhat cute appearance.
“Comrade Dekan, I sincerely apologize. He is the most peculiar teacher at our Mage Academy, please forgive him… After I detoxify him, you can punish him then.”
Chloix was about to return to the dormitory to look for the card “Compulsory Dissolution” but hesitated.
“By the way, do you, Dekan, have the spell card made from the poison inflicted upon Teacher Cat?”
Chloix suddenly asked.
“Yes.”
“Could I borrow it?”
Without much hesitation, Dekan handed over the “Toxin Communication 1.0” to Chloix.
After receiving the card, Chloix no longer intended to look for “Compulsory Dissolution.”
He immediately began casting “Toxin Communication 1.0” on Teacher Cat.
“What are you doing?”
Dekan was amazed by Chloix’s actions. But soon his expression became even more astonished.
He saw that as soon as Chloix cast “Toxin Communication 1.0” on Teacher Cat, the cat instantly relaxed.
“Phew, saved, meow.”
Teacher Cat leisurely leapt to the ground, closed its eyes, tilted its head back, seemingly marveling at the beauty of the air. Fully restored vitality, it darted into Chloix’s dormitory, with every intention to ransack the food.
Witnessing this strange scene, Dekan held his head with a troubled expression.
“What is going on…”
He felt as though his beliefs were collapsing.
If the toxin were to be dispelled, it would have been acceptable.
But why could the toxin be detoxified by the very same toxin?
What a catastrophic bug!
After pondering for a while, finding no explanation, Dekan grabbed Chloix’s shoulder.
“How did you detoxify this?”
This kind of facial expression from Dekan seemed all too familiar to Chloix, as he smiled bitterly and explained,
“It’s because I am blessed by a divine deity – all magical damage triggered by me is converted into healing. If I use curse magic or poison magic, they become corresponding disenchantments and antitoxins.”
“There’s actually something like this…”
Dekan muttered absent-mindedly.
So, Chloix was that kind of rare mage.
Dekan thought for a moment, then asked again, “Even if the toxin was a combination of two positive states, you could still eliminate it?”
“The blessing judges by the result.”
“…”
Dekan’s mood suddenly dropped significantly.
This bug couldn’t be fixed.
It’s a cheat.
But he soon thought of something else.
He sharply looked up at Chloix.
“If you use your trait to treat others, they will still feel the pain, right?”
“Most of the time, they need to endure the pain of being directly hit by the spell… So generally, I avoid using this trait to heal my companions.”
Chloix seemed to recall something unpleasant, his gaze showing a bit of fear.
Dekan looked at Chloix, his eyes gleaming even more brightly.
He excitedly shouted, “Comrade Chloix, your abilities are simply too useful! You’re an angel! I want to form a team with you, together we’ll conquer the Shadow World!”
“Eh?”
Chloix’s eyes widened, filled with surprise.
He seemed to doubt whether this was a dream.
He had never expected anyone to invite him to conquer the Shadow World again.
And he least expected the inviter to be the recently shining Dekan.
Chloix: “Why…”
Dekan: “Our team happens to need a… healer! You are undoubtedly the best suited for us!”
If he could obtain Chloix’s assistance, no matter how Dekan and Cornelia tortured their enemies, they wouldn’t end up killing them!
The healing could inflict even greater torture!
It might even keep enemies suffering 60 times the pain treatment while staying conscious!
Chloix was undoubtedly the best choice to become an interrogator!
“…”
Chloix was silent for a long time.
He seemed to laugh helplessly, then his expression turned a bit bitter as he said,
“No, Comrade Dekan, I really thank you for your invitation, but I can’t harm you all.”
“You don’t need to worry. Cornelia and I usually won’t use your healing, you… just take care of those who need healing.”
“Sorry, I really can’t accept your offer.”
“Do you have a fixed team?”
“No.”
“Then the Beautiful Soul Squad is undoubtedly your best choice! Once Cornelia and I reach the fourth rank, we can form a team.”
