This Battle of Wits Will Be Ashley's Victory!

"You bastard. You can't, you can't do this!"

Listening to the girl's voice, as faint as a mosquito's hum, Ansu tilted his head and pretended to be curious, "What am I doing?"

His appearance was very deceptive: his clear blue eyes were pure and translucent, his long gray-white hair fell on his shoulders, paired with a pure white robe and a light shirt.

As the young man tilted his head, soft sunlight fell on his delicate profile, making him look as pure and flawless as white jade.

He truly looked like a naive young man.

But Ashley knew that the young man before her was a genuine demon born from the abyss.

This bastard was still pretending!

The more normal and sunny Ansu appeared, the more horrified Ashley felt.

She knew these people from the borderlands too well; the more normal they seemed on the surface, the more twisted they were underneath.

Ashley became even more convinced—nay, certain—that this kid was hiding something big.

How could someone who could devise the 'Nezha Stirs Up the Sea' stream be so upright and honorable!

He might look like a suave gentleman now, but the moment she signed the authorization, he'd probably transform into a lustful demon!

The egg-kicking, naked-running man, the pee-holding glasses man, the lustful Ziwei man—these were the true faces of those three borderland newborns!

"Will you sign this authorization, or not?" Ansu said calmly, "The exam is about to begin, Examiner Ashley."

Ashley lowered her head slightly, staring at the authorization form.

[Perseverance, Courage, Wisdom—this is not just an assessment, but a trial to surpass yourself.]

[The only standard for a perfect score is to conquer yourself.]

These two lines were the exam instructions in the authorization form.

She felt as if she had returned to seven years ago. Back then, she was also a candidate, arriving at the exam venue just like this, staring at these same two lines. She felt the same nervousness and worry.

Ashley now understood that the borderland people's exams were indeed a trial—a trial for the invigilators!

"That thing you..."

Ashley bit her cherry-like thin lips, her cheeks flushed, and she glared fiercely at Ansu, "That thing you want to do to me, I know all about it."

"What thing?"

Ansu tilted his head to the other side again, saying calmly.

This bastard, making her, a girl, say such things.

"Th-this..." Ashley's momentum slowly weakened, "It's that kind of shameless thing."

"Shameless?"

Ansu continued, his voice clean and natural, "What kind of shameless thing? Please tell me with your wisdom what shameless thing I will do to you—you're being a bit too confident in yourself."

You!

Ashley gritted her teeth tightly.

"Your plan, your magic combinations, all your intentions, I've seen through them all."

Ashley glared at Ansu fiercely, like an angry little lioness. She mustered her courage, her voice becoming hysterical, "Borderlander, I'm not an idiot!"

These low-class borderlanders!

Forced to run naked in public, brutally kicked in the balls, forced into pee-holding contests where the other party had already peed—they were all guys who put on a facade while being vile and low-class inside. And now, seeing Ansu still pretending to be pure, Ashley was completely enraged.

Everyone understood what was going on.

Why was this bastard still pretending? It was simply an insult to her intelligence!

Her shame had accumulated to its peak, gradually turning into anger.

Ashley's pride would no longer allow her to accept such an insult.

Fine.

She would expose him right here, before signing the authorization, expose his dark and evil plan.

Right here!

Expose his hypocritical facade and make him utterly ashamed!

Bring Ansu's dark side into the light of day.

Under the surveillance of the Scales of Order, Ashley said coldly, "Your magic combinations look normal, but they are actually filled with the most depraved thoughts."

"For example?" Ansu observed Ashley's expression, finding it quite amusing, "My magic combinations are quite normal. Can you tell me what's wrong with them?"

To think this kid had such a thick skin, still playing tough even at this point.

Ashley scoffed inwardly.

But your scheme has been seen through by me.

You borderlanders have only won against me in the realm of no bottom lines.

But in terms of pure intellect, you can't win against me!

"For example, [Interference Resonance]."

"What about [Interference Resonance]?" Ansu's eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of confusion flashing across them before being quickly masked by calmness. "It's just used to interfere with the opponent's staff frequency."

"Hmph."

Ashley noticed Ansu's slight waver and let out a soft snort. "Your goal is precisely to manipulate the enemy's staff to create continuous vibrations, because you've already inserted your staff into that area."

"You intend to use these vibrations to defeat me in front of everyone with this move!"

Ansu took a slight step back, shaking his head and righteously denying, "I have never harbored such dark thoughts."

The more he tried to deny it, the more certain she was that she was right.

A faint sense of satisfaction arose in Ashley's heart. After being humiliated so many times, she could finally get her revenge.

"And [Great Tremor]."

Ashley continued, choosing to press her advantage. "This magic appears to create shockwaves, but it's actually to enhance the frequency of the staff's vibrations!"

"What blasphemy this is."

Ansu's pupils flickered slightly. He pursed his lips, but his expression remained calm.

"I, Ansu, have never thought of such filthy things. I truly cannot imagine what kind of shameless person could come up with such dark tactics."

Although he appeared calm, he must have been sweating profusely behind the scenes.

She had won this battle of wits.

Ashley's smile widened as she spoke, growing more excited. The thrill of revenge made her cheeks flush.

She had finally exposed this guy's scheme!

"And [Sensory Blessing]."

"What did [Sensory Blessing] do to you?" Ansu took a step back, his cyan eyes showing a hint of fear. "This is the sacred Holy Light, a Divine Blessing from the Goddess."

As Ansu stepped back, Ashley advanced aggressively, her flushed and excited face pressing close to the young man's.

"You intend to use the Holy Light Blessing for those filthy things,"

Ashley's lips curved into a smile as she mercilessly exposed Ansu's scheme.

"With all senses doubled, the body becomes extremely sensitive. Under the Sensory Blessing, I'm sure we'll become fountains in no time!"

The third floor of the great hall.

The priests watched the Magic Screen in silence.

Priest Percy stared at his junior sister, his expression as if dead.

His heart, which had been broken by the stiff corpse, was now shattered again.

"What on earth is she talking about!!"
