Dekan Gradually Realized Something Was Wrong
"Shall we prepare to begin the first round of the competition?"
Dekan could no longer suppress the joyful smile on his face.
Any demon with desires can be guided, tempted, and led into the abyss...
And Altis is about to receive the ultimate punishment she deserves!
"Hmph, come on."
Altis thought about it carefully.
There's no way I could possibly lose.
She just wanted to end this duel as quickly as possible.
Then figure out the answers to the questions you have.
In the present world.
Ice Princess and Judith arrived at the Observation Hall of the Havenlit Academy.
Flora had previously sent a school janitor to the Happy Group to find them.
The school janitor relayed a message from Flora, saying that Flora couldn't handle Tata and needed their help.
When they arrived here...
But people nearby said that Flora had already taken Tata away.
"Flora is always like this, it's such a headache."
Judith covered her forehead, feeling extremely exhausted.
"Since we're here, let's take a look."
Ice Princess smiled and shook her head, then found seats and sat down with Judith.
"Not bad, let's see how their conquest of the seventh-tier Shadow World goes."
Judith wasn't initially very interested in the strategy guide for the seventh-tier Shadow World.
But after thinking about it, I decided to take a look anyway.
However, she found that Ice Princess was standing there, stunned.
"Dekan... how did he turn into Little Succubus?"
Ice Princess could hardly believe her eyes for a moment.
Before she could figure out what was going on with Dekan's limited-edition skin, she was suddenly startled by the excited shouts of the audience.
"Let him lose! Let him lose!!"
The sound waves came one after another.
"...?"
Ice Princess felt completely confused.
What heinous thing did Dekan do to deserve such jeers from the audience?!
Dekan looked at the series of subjects on the table.
The questions mainly consist of objective questions related to [Imperial Arithmetic], [Imperial Commerce], and [Imperial Geography].
There are also a small number of subjective questions on topics such as [Human Ethics], [painting], and [Imperial Literature].
Among them, the [Imperial Arithmetic] exam is one that both Decameron and Artis can answer, so both sides have a chance.
Art exams in the category of [painting] are subjects where neither party can know the other's strengths or weaknesses; it's largely a matter of luck.
[Human Ethics] is the test that will give humans an innate advantage over demons, but unfortunately, it is the only one.
Exams like [Imperial Geography] were subjects in which Dekan and his group could never beat Altis, because they were completely ignorant of the geography, history, and other knowledge of this long-extinct empire.
So, it's quite obvious what Dekan will choose, given his priority in selecting his subject.
"I choose this one."
Without hesitation, Dekan chose one of the few subjective exams: [Human Ethics]!
However, he did not see any sign of panic in Altis.
Just like this course is one of her strengths.
When Dekan opened the book-like box, a light curtain immediately unfolded inside, enveloping the entire hall.
[Welcome to the Imperial Examination Program.]
Dekan was taken aback when he saw the barrier and notification message that appeared in the study.
So these document boxes that look like books are actually high-level magical artifacts?
It was a magical technique he had never seen in the mortal world.
It appears to be a relic of a civilization that has already perished in this world.
The subject of this exam is: Human Ethics Synthesis.
[Category: Subjective]
[Exam Format: Seminar]
[Please have the examiner and candidate register.]
The message stopped here.
"Go and get the badge from the box, and you'll gain the examiner's permission."
Altis looked at Morion and said.
Morion nodded, quickly picked up the badge, and successfully completed the examiner registration.
The imperial examinations on Human Ethics were originally administered by senior teachers, but there are no longer any imperial people in the world who can be found.
The only one capable of serving as an examiner here is Morion, who is human.
Since the candidates are two demons, Altis approves of any human being serving as the examiner for [Human Ethics].
After registration is complete, you will be prompted to begin the update process.
[This exam will consist of four questions, each worth twenty-five points. The examiner will select a random topic from a question bank and present the question.]
[The examiner must provide questions that are consistent with Human Ethics; otherwise, the test will be rejected.]
[After each question is presented, candidates will have five minutes to prepare and then begin to explain their solutions.]
[If multiple candidates provide answers that hit the same points, the later respondent will have points deducted.]
Candidates who answer later will have more time to prepare and the opportunity to refer to the answers of other candidates.
However, answering later will inevitably result in a loss of points, unless your ideas are completely different from those of the candidates who answered first, and you can answer better.
At that moment, a new prompt appeared before Morion's eyes.
[Examiners must score based on their true thoughts and understanding. This system includes a mindset detection system; if an examiner shows bias by helping a candidate cheat, they will be expelled from the examination room.]
"If you are found to have made unfair judgments, it will be equivalent to you losing."
"Altis said."
Dekan and Morion both nodded.
There's nothing to question.
Moreover, Dekan believed that he didn't need Morion's help at all; he could defeat Altis through his own strength.
Then, the topic of the first question appeared before Morion.
[Question 1: Please formulate a question based on the theme "Life".]
After reading the contents, Morion thought for a moment and asked:
Why can't people kill each other?
The devil would definitely answer this question, because he would face revenge or break the law.
Humans will then offer explanations for issues such as morality and guilt.
"It's a sense of guilt and the pangs of conscience."
Before Dekan could even speak, Altis spoke up immediately after Morion finished speaking.
"As long as a person realizes that they have done something wrong, they will feel uneasy or even heartbroken to some extent. Sometimes it may be so small that they don't even feel it, but as long as there is a human heart, it will not disappear. It is a kind of conscience that is demanding, whether it is a small evil or an act that is prohibited by human law, such as murder..."
Altis provided a series of fluent explanations and extensions.
Dekan and Morion listened intently as Altis finished her explanation.
Is this a pro player trying to smurf?
Have you, a demon, gone mad and started studying human philosophy all day?
And can this really be figured out?!
This wasn't a question that Dekan couldn't answer.
But even Dekan couldn't provide such a comprehensive answer as Altis!
Morion's expression was complicated, but he ultimately gave Altis 25 points.
Impeccable.
And then...
No matter how Dekan answers, he can't possibly get the same perfect score as Altis.
Cold sweat gradually appeared on Dekan's forehead.
Oh no, is this going to backfire...?
