Lanchi Starts Acting Up

The spacious classroom in the Demon Academy, under the intertwining dim light, the wood grain on the oak floor and the carpet carried an inexplicable sense of desolation and obsession. Only the clear footsteps of the examiners, like moving killing intent, lingered within the examination hall.

In the back row of the examination hall.

Hughberlian lowered her head, her eyes trembling slightly, her mind a blank slate.

She had never imagined that she would come to a Shadow World where she needed to act as a demon.

For her, this was an extreme form of execution.

Because, compared to other challengers whose forms were temporarily disguised as demons by the Shadow World's background, she had her usual disguise magic removed directly, revealing her most true Demon Race form.

This was a form she would rather die than let the people of the Royal Capital see in broad daylight. Hughberlian didn't even know how she could face Lanchi in this state.

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

Her and Lanchi's Shadow World was being broadcast on the school's screens in a loop.

This was a performance, and also a death sentence.

She could only try to calm her emotions and attempt to look at the examination questions in front of her.

Although Hughberlian, with her half-demon bloodline, had extremely high compatibility with Demon Magic Text and was naturally capable of a little Demon Race magic.

But she had grown up as a Duke Miss in a human kingdom since she was a child and had no idea how to write these messy Demon Magic Texts.

If even she couldn't do it, it meant these questions were definitely not meant for the challengers themselves to answer.

To successfully pass the exam and leave this examination hall, the answer was obvious—

The challengers in the examination hall needed to figure out which of the other examinees could answer the questions, copy the answers from them, and at the same time avoid the gaze of the two examiners.

And Hughberlian and Lanchi also needed to cooperate, otherwise, they might not be able to collect enough answers to pass within two hours.

Because there was also mutual suspicion among the demon students. For example, the students in the front row were particularly wary of other students seeing their test papers, and it was even possible that some malicious individuals might deliberately use wrong answers to trick and mislead other students.

"Hoo..."

Hughberlian tried her best to adjust her disordered breathing.

The only thing that gave her a slight sense of relief was that she could feel Lanchi's calm aura not far from her side.

Presumably, he should have also understood the rules for clearing this examination hall.

Of course.

Hughberlian was not sure if her current imagined strategy for clearing the level was the same as Lanchi's, so she made no move.

Her agreement with Lanchi was—

Lanchi would watch the enemies, and she only needed to watch Lanchi.

Not far to the right of Hughberlian.

Lanchi was leaning back in his chair, looking up, observing the figures of the two examiners, lost in thought.

They were well-dressed, seemingly polite on the surface, but carried an undeniable terrifying aura.

One was an Owl-Human Demon, with smooth, glossy black fur and two cold, cunning scarlet eyes. He wore a sharp classical suit adorned with intricate gold details, giving off a sense of an ancient and mysterious sect.

The other was a Demon with dragon horns and scales, his posture full of majesty and power, his pupils seemingly burning with fiery flames. He also had a human-like body, and his luxurious vintage suit was embroidered with complex patterns, looking like a symbol of some kind of authority.

Both appeared to be teachers of considerable status at this school.

Although the two examiners also noticed Lanchi's gaze, they didn't say anything.

Lanchi's eyes were very honest, as if his heart was as clear as a mirror, not at all like someone trying to cheat. It was more like he was tired from writing and needed to rest his eyes.

More importantly, giving the examiners a look of attention did not count as any form of whispering or communication.

Although doing so would indeed attract a certain degree of attention from the examiners, the difficulty of cheating would consequently increase significantly.

However, this was not meaningless.

In the several minutes of observation, Lanchi had already discovered quite a few things.

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

And.

In the classroom, there was indeed cheating happening—

Many Demon students in the front rows, as soon as they found a blind spot shared by the two examiners' vision, would take advantage of that brief moment to start their little tricks.

Some cheating methods were very simple and effective, while others directly used magic for technical maneuvers. It was truly a case of everyone showing their unique skills.

For example, some Demon in the front row just now seemed to have used Mental magic at close range to forcibly occupy Lanchi's vision for a moment, making his sight go black.

Later, Lanchi felt like he had been marked as a poor student. It seemed there was a small cheating group, and after they discovered Lanchi couldn't answer the questions, the nearby Demon students didn't give Lanchi any chance to peek. It was as if they were excluding him, not allowing him to participate in academic fraud with them.

"It's a good thing my Mental and magic resistance are high enough, otherwise having my vision controlled by this kind of magic would be really disgusting."

Lanchi thought to himself.

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

So, next, he would also start to show off his strength.

At Lanchi's location, approximately every minute, there would be a moment when both examiners simultaneously entered a blind spot in their vision.

There was a brief second of time when one could attempt to cheat, which was also the best time to act.

This rare moment was about to appear again soon.

At this moment, the two Demon students in front of Lanchi couldn't help but turn sideways, holding their test papers tightly, their bodies tense.

Their plan was to each write down the questions they knew how to answer, and then try to swap their test papers during this window.

All of this was being watched by Lanchi.

Even though it was simple and crude, it was indeed effective, because both Demon students were very smart and did not fill in their names on the test papers.

Hughberlian quietly observed Lanchi from the side.

Following Lanchi's gaze, which was now locked onto his prey, she also noticed the movements of the two Demon students in the front row.

Hughberlian had to admit that Lanchi's bold choice to "frankly observe the entire hall," while increasing the examiners' attention, also extremely efficiently controlled a lot of information.

For example, the moment that was about to arrive very soon.

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

As long as he reacted quickly enough.

Lanchi could use the auxiliary function of the tool magic card [Shadow World Recording Program] to record the information on the two test papers exchanged in the front row to a certain extent at that very moment.

Then he could view it in his own field of vision.

This was a convenience and information advantage that only challengers possessed!

A blind spot appeared in the field of vision, and the two demon students in the front row also began to make their move.

Hughberlian was looking forward to Lanchi successfully grabbing the answers as he wished.

If they could use the two students in the front row as a springboard to successfully copy the answers of more students, perhaps the two of them wouldn't need to write for two full hours and could submit their papers early and leave the examination hall.

Just as Hughberlian was thinking this.

Lanchi immediately raised his right hand.

"Teacher, they're cheating!"

A righteous and stern voice echoed throughout the entire classroom.

Immediately, both invigilators suddenly turned their heads, their gazes locked onto the two demon students who were caught in the act of cheating, halfway through exchanging their test papers!

And the two demon students who were reported by Lanchi also instinctively turned their heads, their eyes wide with disbelief, looking at Lanchi in the back row as if they had seen a dog!

"You two, I saw you."

The Dragon Horned Demon, who was closer to the cheating examinees, quickly walked towards the front row where Lanchi was, while the Owl-Human Demon, who was further away, clicked his tongue and turned back to continue walking forward.

A brutal slaughter thus began.

The shrill screams seemed to be compressed into the air, making the other demon students feel suffocated.

The next second, only the sound of bones being crushed and blood and internal organs splattering remained in the classroom.

The cheating demon examinees were turned into two corpses in just a short moment!
