Dekan's Least Favorite Kind of Person
[Excel]
[Category: Spell Card]
[Grade: Purple Rare]
[Class: 4]
[Passive effect: Can consume mana to assist in various calculations and extended functions.]
[Note: Microsoft is starting up.]
These are actually Spell Card that Dekan uses for daily life and work.
The Magic Card he created mainly fall into two categories.
The first type is his mainstream cards, almost all of which are developed using demonic magic technology.
The second type consists of a small number of cards, such as [Hydrogen Explosion], that combine knowledge from past lives with magic.
These cards were made using human magic as a foundation.
Even the Master said he couldn't understand the key principles behind these cards, or what mindset and purpose the creators had when they made them.
Dekan's initial motivation for creating Excel was primarily to speed up work processes.
The preparation stage of card making often involves calculations of proportions, etc.
Of course, he also considered that in certain situations, this card might be used to humiliate Morion.
But upon closer reflection...
I just used this card to easily defeat an opponent that Morion had never been able to beat.
It was indeed a great success.
"Why have I never heard of this kind of magic before...?"
Altis hung her head, her voice sounding very dejected.
It's not just because she lost.
She also felt utterly defeated.
Losing in the subject of [Human Ethics] could be attributed to Dekan and Morion's despicable and shameless behavior.
But there's nothing more to say about losing in the objective tests, which she was absolutely confident in.
It was a complete and utter defeat.
And.
This Little Succubus seems to be using human magic.
This makes their supposedly proud field seem ridiculous.
"You should travel more in the human world. Well, of course, most people don't know how to use [Excel]."
Dekan smiled and shrugged.
He then walked around Altis twice more.
"Miss Altis, if I remember correctly, you shouldn't be standing there dumbfounded, right? Besides fulfilling your promise, didn't we just make a small bet?"
Upon hearing Dekan's words, Altis's pupils contracted, and then she clenched her fists, her whole body trembling.
Once her thoughts returned to reality, Altis fully understood the current situation.
According to the bet agreement.
She should put on her cat-eared maid outfit and dance.
"Then wait for me."
Dekan then used the Demon Bracelet to go to the third floor and buy the clothing from the bet.
Then Cat Teacher quickly went outside to tell Morion the good news and went to the portal to pick up the package.
When he returned to the study, he handed the package directly to Altis.
"Please go ahead, I'll excuse myself."
After saying that, Dekan turned to leave the study.
"Etc!"
Altis called out to him from behind Dekan.
"Oh?"
Dekan turned to look at Altis.
Altis's eyes were red-rimmed, her expression filled with resentment, and she bit her lower lip hard.
Just now, when Dekan went to pick up the package.
She calmly figured out what she needed to do next.
Make her dance while wearing a cat-eared maid outfit.
She'd rather die!
"What? Are you going to back out?"
Dekan asked, frowning.
He appeared somewhat displeased.
In fact, they were very satisfied with Altis's reaction.
Because.
He expected this devil to perform a series of routine actions such as breaking contracts and defaulting on debts.
That way, he can finally give this dishonest and stubborn devil a good torment.
Having spent so much time figuring out the demon's true nature, and having successfully laid out tactics with Morion outside the door, Dekan was quite certain that if the demon dared to renege on her promise, she would be in for a world of hurt.
Altis looks very conflicted right now.
It seems a decision is about to be made.
If Altis really does honestly choose to keep her promise.
Dekan lost interest in tormenting her.
No matter what the enemy is.
Dekan only enjoys toying with villains.
Or rather, Dekan had absolutely no interest in torturing good people; he only felt extreme resistance to it.
It now seems that Altis is going to break the contract, since she has completely thrown away that maid outfit.
"I can't do it, just kill me."
Altis shook her head with her eyes tightly closed, her eyelashes trembling, and a few crystal tears seemed to have already spilled from the corners of her eyes.
She quickly covered her cheek with one hand and clenched her fist with the other.
"?"
Dekan frowned deeply as he observed Altis's reaction.
This time it wasn't acting; he was genuinely stumped.
He never expected Altis to say such a thing.
Big sister, you're a demon!
Just like the teachers at the Demon Academy, just like the guards and prisoners on the first few floors!
When faced with something that harms you, you should be willing to gamble, break the rules, and even renege on your debts!
How can someone act as if they'd rather die than break a promise?
"Are you out of your mind? Shouldn't you be trying to kill me now, then you can break the agreement and pretend nothing happened? That way you could even keep that unique human outside for some serious research. How about it, aren't you tempted?"
Dekan whispered repeatedly beside Altis like a demon.
He was tempting Altis to take action.
This also triggered [Three-Corpse Berserk].
He could accept Altis's suicide as an ending.
He just wanted to see.
Did Altis genuinely want to end this wager in a different way, or did she have ulterior motives?
"Waaah..."
After being affected by [Three-Corpse Berserk], Altis's tears finally fell like beads, as if she had lost all will to live.
Not only did she have no intention of attacking Dekan, she even began to cast magic; she truly wanted to destroy herself!
"I'll save you! Morion!"
"Hey, wait a minute, big sister! If you die, who am I supposed to ask for information from? You can't just renege on your promise like this!"
Dekan quickly summoned Morion to counteract the effects of [Three-Corpse Berserk] and stopped Altis's self-destruction.
After regaining consciousness, Altis's eyes remained somewhat vacant.
Having just suffered a crushing defeat and realizing she couldn't keep her promise, she is currently in a very low mood.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
"Waaah..."
Altis burst into tears like a fragile young girl.
It seems she has finally shed her disguise, revealing her true self.
"No way... is this really your personality...?"
This stunned Dekan.
Where did that arrogant, haughty attitude you had at the beginning go?
At least try to be stubborn!
The current situation makes it seem as if Dekan is a bully, harassing an honest and kind girl!
What are the viewers supposed to think?!
Although Dekan no longer cares about public opinion.
However, Dekan himself strongly disapproved of bullying honest people.
However, even Morion, who had just entered the study, looked at Dekan with disdain.
"Ugh! I give up on you, you old devil!"
Dekan held his head and complained.
"What serious illness do you have? How can a demon have this kind of personality?! So all that was just a hard shell and a protective layer for you? You can't possibly tell me you're actually socially awkward, and that spending so much time in prison has made you even less good at socializing, can you?!"
If Dekan hadn't actually met someone with such a personality, he wouldn't have believed that there could be an eighth-order socially anxious person in the world who appeared arrogant and cold on the surface but was actually weak and pitiful in reality.
"How did you know...?"
Altis sniffled, looking aggrieved, and replied in a low voice.
"My God! I can't stay on this floor for even a second longer!"
Dekan seems to be developing a bit of Ice Princess PTSD.
He still can't figure out how the half-elf Artemis, who made his blood pressure spike back then, works.
Although Dekan later retaliated.
But something just doesn't feel right.
Bullying or even retaliating against this kind of person brings absolutely no joy!
Disappointment!
Utterly disappointed!
Dekan was truly terrified of this guy who looked like prey but was actually like poison to him.
Dekan pinched the bridge of his nose.
I feel so tired.
Torture her now, but letting her go is also not an option.
She would never dance in that maid outfit, no matter what. If you asked her, she'd say it was suicide, and she really would.
Continuing to pressure her would feel like forcing a virtuous woman into prostitution.
"You are truly a virtuous and chaste woman. I don't even know how to praise you enough, Miss Altis. I'm completely impressed."
Dekan could only shake his head with a troubled expression and give Altis a thumbs up.
He was too lazy to waste any more time.
There are still some things I need to ask her.
"Then, the bet..."
"Altis asked timidly."
"Just waive all the intelligence and teleportation fees for me, what else can I ask for? Sigh, I'm just unlucky to have met a devil like you."
Dekan was filled with resentment.
He didn't want to waste any more time, nor did he want to see Altis again.
Seeing her makes me angry.
If this were in the modern world, he would have plenty of time.
Anyone who dares to provoke him first will find their Villain Radar misses its mark.
Even if he is truly a kind and good person, he will still leave a deep impression on that person.
But we're in the Shadow World now. Putting aside the time issue, there's no point in him doing this.
Dekan's favorite part of the Demon Realm was how pleasurable it was to torture these demons.
He doesn't even need to activate his Villain Radar.
Just catch them and that's it.
The more wicked the villain, the more fun Dekan had to play with him.
How could there be such a scoundrel Altis in the Demon Realm!
Dekan: "Hurry up and give us the information, then we'll get to the next level for free."
Altis: "Yes, the next level is the Exile Zone. The Jailer there has eighth-tier strength, but there are many restrictions."
Dekan: "What about the Warden's intelligence?"
Altis: "The Warden is not only skilled in magic, but also extremely strong in close combat. He is a very powerful individual with exceptional overall strength among ninth-tier warriors."
"How do we deal with this...?"
Dekan felt the Warden was going to be even harder to beat.
The Warden already possesses resistance to magic.
If the Warden were just a fragile mage, that would be fine.
However, what if it's a magic-immune mage who is unaffected by magical effects?
Dekan really thinks this boss is tough.
Winning hearts and minds is difficult too.
It seems we'll have to rely on intelligence research mechanisms.
Having extracted almost all the information Altis knew, Dekan was too lazy to bother with her anymore.
This rigid and meticulous demon refused to tell him anything special except for tradable information.
I don't know the answer when asked.
Of course, it's also possible that she genuinely didn't know.
Although Dekan found this guy's bad temper extremely annoying when they first met.
But when she truly showed no hostility, Dekan realized that this girl was so innocent that it was impossible to find even the slightest bit of pleasure in persecuting her.
Are you really a demon?
Dekan asked with utter disdain.
He even had a slight suspicion that Altis might actually be a person disguised as a demon.
According to Dekan's understanding of demons, although demons look the same as humans, they are two completely different kinds of beings.
They don't understand the concept of malice, nor do they feel guilt or remorse. All behaviors that seem human are merely imitations and performances created to bewitch people.
Therefore, Dekan would not believe any demons.
Besides the Master.
This Altis had previously pretended to be human.
But now, her willingness to risk her life, her unyielding spirit, makes her seem like a saint.
This is not a quality that demons should have.
When Altis heard Dekan's question, she was first startled, then lowered her head timidly.
"... I am Half-Demon, and my mother is human."
She spoke haltingly, as if mentioning a secret she wouldn't tell any demon.
Dekan covered his forehead.
No wonder this guy looks so human.
"So, the Demon King sent you here as Jailer not only to make you work, but also to keep you under control?"
According to Dekan's understanding, the Jailer of each level are not allowed to leave their posts without the Demon King's personal permission.
While obtaining permission, they were also bound by this Demon Realm Prison.
They can't even go to other levels.
"Yes."
Altis nodded in agreement.
Dekan finally understood.
This floor could even be described as Altis's solitary confinement cell.
The Demon King feared her betrayal, but also needed Altis's knowledge.
No wonder the rules on this floor are so strict for the jailers, but so lenient for the Jailer.
This was a form of protection for the Jailer.
Since Altis is too lazy to kill people or demons, it would be meaningless to restrict Altis like other levels.
However, if the restrictions on the jailers are not strict enough, it may lead to the kind-hearted Altis being bullied by them.
Is it possible for others to hear what we're saying here?
Dekan decided to try one last time to see if he could get more help from Altis, so he asked.
"The Warden can't access my study; this is a research lab that the Demon King granted me."
Although Altis didn't understand Dekan's intention, she still answered.
"Let me ask you directly, do you see yourself as a human being or a demon?"
Dekan's expression turned unusually serious, his eyes like a sharp blade.
