at to say."I've been resting these two days, haven't gone out of the ward much. But I heard you did well academically, so I feel reassured...But..."Noe couldn't even imagine what kind of trouble Lance...Chapter 47: Ranch Starts to Act Like a Monster

In the spacious classroom of Devil's Academy, the dim light intertwined, casting an eerie and melancholic aura over the wooden grain on the oak floor and the carpets. Only the clear footsteps of the examiner echoed through the hall, like a palpable sense of menace stalking the exam room.

The back row of the examination hall.

Huperlyan lowered her head, her eyes trembling slightly, her mind a blank.

She never expected that she would end up in a shadow world where she had to play the role of a demon.

This was an extreme form of execution for her.

Because, compared to other challengers who were temporarily disguised as demon forms by the background of the Shadow World, she was directly stripped of her usual disguise magic, revealing her most authentic demonic form.

This is her, even in death, she wouldn't want the people of the capital to see her like this, under the watchful eyes of all. Huberlian even didn't know how to face Lanci in this posture.

However, the only thing clear in her mind at this moment was —

She and Lance's shadow world is being broadcast on the screen in the school.

This is a performance, and also an execution.

She could only try to calm her mind and focus on the exam in front of her.

Half-demon descendant Huberlian possesses an extremely high affinity for demonic magic, and is also born with a touch of demonic magic.

But she grew up as a duchess's daughter in the human realm from a young age and didn't understand how to write this nonsense demon magic at all.

If even she can't do it, then these questions are definitely not meant to be solved by the challengers themselves.

To pass the exam and leave this examination hall smoothly, the answer is obvious——

Contestants in the exam hall need to figure out which other examinees are good at answering questions, copy their answers, and avoid being caught by two proctors.

And Hubertian and Lanch also need to cooperate, otherwise, within two hours they may not be able to collect enough and adequate answers.

>>>>

Because even among demon students, there is mutual suspicion. For example, students in the front row are especially wary of others seeing their test papers, and it's not impossible that some mischievous individuals might deliberately use incorrect answers to mislead or harm other students.

"Ugh..."

Huperlan was struggling to regulate her ragged breathing.

The only thing that gave her a sliver of comfort was the feeling of Ranch's calm presence near her.

He probably understands the rules for passing this exam.

Of course.

Huberlian wasn't sure if her current strategy for clearing the level aligned with Lance's, so she remained inactive.

Her promise to Lanchi was——

Ranch could see the enemy, and she only needed to look at Ranch.

……

Just a short distance to the right of Huberlian.

Lang was leaning back in his chair, tilting his head, gazing at the two examiners' figures thoughtfully.

Their attire was proper, their demeanor polite on the surface, yet an undeniable aura of terror permeated them.

One of them was a demonic owl-man, with slick, glossy black hair. His two crimson eyes were cold and cunning. He wore a well-tailored classical suit adorned with intricate gold details, giving off an air of ancient and mysterious cults.

Another demon with dragon horns and scales, exuded an air of majesty and power. Its eyes seemed to burn with fiery intensity. Like the previous one, it had a human-like body, adorned in an opulent, retro suit embroidered with intricate designs, seemingly symbolizing some kind of authority.

It seems that all the teachers at this school are of high standing.

Although both examiners noticed Lanchi's gaze, they didn't say anything.

Lan Qi's eyes were very honest, as if his heart was as clear as a mirror, not at all like someone who wanted to cheat. He looked more like he was tired of writing and needed to rest his eyes.

More importantly, pay attention to the examiner and do not engage in any head-nodding or other irrelevant gestures.

Although doing so would certainly gain the attention of the examiner to some extent, correspondingly, the difficulty of cheating would increase considerably.

However, this is not meaningless.

In a few minutes of observation, Lance had already discovered quite a bit.

For example, the movement routes and speeds of the two examiners were very regular.

and.

In the classroom, cheating does indeed exist.

Several of the mischievous student demons in the front rows would seize any brief moment when both examiners were momentarily blinded, taking advantage of that gap to start some shenanigans.

Some cheating methods are very simple and efficient, while others directly use magic to play with technology. It can be said that they are all kinds of magical powers shown by the eight immortals crossing the sea.

For example, some demon from the front row, it seemed just now, had used mental magic to forcibly occupy Lan Qi's vision for a moment at close range, leaving him momentarily blinded.

Later, Lance felt like he was labeled a dunce. It seemed like there was a cheating clique, and when they found out Lance couldn't do the problems, the nearby demon students wouldn't give him any chance to peek at their work. They ostracized him completely, preventing him from joining in on the academic fraud.

"Good thing my spirit and magic resistance are high, otherwise being controlled by this kind of magic would be truly awful."

Lanche thought to himself.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt that he was gradually understanding everything.

Then, it's my turn to show what I can do.

……

The location where the Ranch is situated, every minute or so, presents a moment when both examiners simultaneously fall into blind spots.

For a fleeting second, there's an opportunity to cheat, and it's the prime moment to act.

This rare opportunity will soon come again.

At this moment, the two demon students in the front row of Lance couldn't help but turn their bodies sideways, holding the scrolls in their hands, their states were extremely tense.

Their plan was for each of them to write their own questions, then during this wave they would exchange the papers in their hands.

All of this, was being watched by Ranch.

Even though it was simple and crude, it was indeed effective because the two mischievous students, being very clever, did not fill in their names on the exam paper.

Huberly watched Lance quietly from the side.

She followed Lance's gaze, which was fixed on their prey with a hunter's intensity, and noticed the movements of the two demon students in the front row as well.

Huberlian had to admit, Lanche's bold choice of "facing the audience directly" had, despite raising the judges' attention, also been incredibly effective in gathering a lot of information.

For example, this moment that is coming very soon.

The two examinees in the front row are very likely to exchange test papers.

Just react fast enough.

Then, Lance can use the Tool Magic Card 【Shadow World Recording Program】 to record, to a certain extent, the information on the two test papers that were exchanged in the front row at that moment.

Then, view it within your own field of vision.

This is a convenience and information asymmetry that only challengers possess!

Blind spots appeared, and the two demon students in the front row also began to move.

Huperlyan hopes that Lanchi will successfully retrieve the answers.

If they can use the two students in the front row as stepping stones to copy more students' answers, maybe the two of them won't need to write for the full two hours and can leave the exam hall early.

It was at that moment that such thoughts crossed Hyberlian's mind.

Lanche raised his right hand at that moment.

"Teacher, they are cheating!"

A righteous and firm voice echoed throughout the classroom.

Suddenly, both invigilators turned their heads sharply, their gazes fixed on the two demonic students who were caught in the act of exchanging exam papers.

And the two demon students who had been reported by Ranchi also instinctively turned their heads back, staring in disbelief at Ranchi in the back row, as if they had seen a dog!

"The two of you, I saw you."

The Dragon Horn Demon closest to the cheating examinees strode quickly towards Lance's front row, while the Owl Demons further away smacked their tongues and turned back to continue walking forward.

A cruel massacre has just begun.

A heart-wrenching shriek, compressed into the air, choked even the other demonic students.

The next second, the classroom was filled only with the sounds of crushed bones, blood and organs splattering.

The cheating demons, in a fleeting moment, transformed into two decaying corpses!
