Chapter 48: Lanqi's Grand Scheme

In the spacious and classical exam hall.

The dragon demon took out a handkerchief, elegantly wiping his hands, with a rather satisfied expression on his face, as if this slaughter was his greatest pleasure. He then returned to his patrol with anticipation.

"Very good," the dragon demon said approvingly to Lanqi as he passed by him, back on his normal patrol route.

"Maintaining exam order is our unshirkable duty," Lanqi nodded, quite like a class monitor.

Then, to Huberrian's scalp-tingling incomprehension.

Not only did Lanqi not stop.

He even started a crazy reporting mode!

He seemed very familiar with, and could even predict, various cheating methods, catching cheating demon students with unerring accuracy!

Although the two invigilators had blind spots, with Lanqi sitting in the back row, the blind spots were greatly reduced.

So in the whole classroom.

It became three invigilators.

Now Lanqi wasn't even writing his own exam paper or doing anything else, just focusing on invigilating.

When other demon students glanced at Lanqi with resentment, their eyes were like they could draw ten thousand kinds of horses in the world, but couldn't draw Lanqi's horse!

......

At the clock tower of Icerite Academy, the clock pointed to five o'clock. On the Gera Memorial Square surrounded by many teaching buildings in the distance, the open-air giant screen was broadcasting today's campus news and the ongoing Shadow World challenge.

The huge magic screen stood in the center of the square, usually waiting for nightfall to create an atmosphere of an outdoor night movie, when many students would bring drinks or snacks and sit on the steps opposite to watch and chat.

At this moment, the crowd in the square was sparse.

Most of the people on the surrounding roads were passersby, either leisurely or preparing to enjoy dinner. Some people looked up at the open-air screen, then continued their steps.

The setting sun shone on the windows of the surrounding buildings, reflecting dazzling light, illuminating the square, the open-air screen and the steps, as if dressed up by sunlight.

However, unlike usual, the students gathered in the square at this moment were obviously more excited than usual, noisy and not at all like that leisurely afternoon!

"What is this guy doing!"

"Other demons won't let him copy, so he won't let other demons have it easy either?"

"Has he gone mad?"

Students who witnessed Lanqi's confusing operation started shouting.

Although this was about quick revenge, he couldn't copy the answers himself either!

"Newcomers are like this, completely unable to understand the mechanism."

Many senior students shook their heads and sighed with painful expressions.

Too arrogant, too stupid, and too unlucky.

The seriousness of the problem was no longer that two first-year freshmen went to challenge the Shadow World on the first day of school.

The key was why they were involved in a fourth-level Shadow World.

A fourth-level Shadow World was definitely not something newcomers should encounter. Often, even silver-level challengers might feel pressured dealing with it.

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Moreover, in the image, it was an unusually dangerous Shadow World!

The initial location was already deep in killing intent, with no enough time to adapt or think of countermeasures before needing to start survival.

"There's been an accident, the teachers at the Sage Academy should have already convened an emergency meeting."

In front of the open-air screen at Gera Memorial Square, more and more students gathered.

Discussions were buzzing.

"Isn't that the guy called Lanqi Wilford?"

A student who passed by and stopped to watch frowned at the screen and said.

"Who? Is he famous?"

"He's the dark horse who suddenly took first place in this year's Sage Academy entrance exam, but his specific strength is unknown. The information from the third round of the exam was personally sealed by Dean Loren of the Sage Academy."

"We only know that his magic power is unusually weak for a magic combat profession."

"Many teams haven't considered whether to recruit him yet, but now it seems there's no need to consider. It would be lucky if he could come back alive."

"You know what, if he can come back alive from this, he might become famous immediately."

Once it starts, spectating often ferments quickly like dough.

In just a few minutes, the steps facing the open-air screen in the square were almost full of Icerite Academy students after class.

"The two disaster stars are together again."

"Oh, that's Huberrian's original appearance, how evil and dirty... Hehe, I wonder what that naive boy will think when he learns the truth."

Some passing nobles sneered and said, leaving the place while chatting and laughing, as if they didn't care about the lives of those two at all.

......

Shadow World, Inferno Corridor Academy.

A strong smell of blood had spread in this gorgeous classroom, the seemingly elegant and obsessive atmosphere had now been destroyed, replaced by a sense of frenzied killing.

Many desks and chairs in the exam hall now had dark red bloodstains, particularly eye-catching on the dark wooden surface. The whole classroom was sinking into an eerie silence, with only the sound of blood dripping on the floor and the footsteps of the invigilators echoing slowly.

The two demon teachers patrolling the classroom were stained with blood, each step leaving a gruesome bloody footprint on the floor.

The dragon-horned demon's suit was already dyed red in patches, his eyes full of cruelty and satisfaction, while the owl demon quietly wiped the blood on his hands, his eyes dark, showing no emotion.

In these short few minutes.

The classroom had changed from an exam hall to a bloody feast of killing, full of an indescribable sense of absurdity.

However, even though Lanqi was neither acting like a demon nor a human, becoming the third invigilator.

There were still demon students who chose to risk cheating!

Because, for demon students who couldn't solve the problems, not cheating meant death.

If they succeeded in cheating, there was still a glimmer of hope for survival.

Sometimes Lanqi would deliberately turn a blind eye.

Even if he saw it, he didn't report the cheating demon students.

In a sense, this also gave these demon students a little hope.

And the two demon invigilators seemed to acquiesce to Lanqi's behavior, reacting at the highest speed with their ears pricked up, waiting for Lanqi's next report.

At the back of the exam hall.

Huberrian now had her face buried on the desk, covering her face with both hands.

Already in a chaotic and uneasy state of mind, she now completely couldn't understand Lanqi's operation.

Moreover, she felt that compared to Lanqi, she seemed more human in contrast.

But no matter what.

Even if they got out of this exam hall with Lanqi today, their human status was probably gone.

......

However.

Whether it was the demon students in the exam hall.

Or Huberrian.

Or the Icerite Academy students watching the Shadow World from outside.

They all failed to notice a subtle change in the classroom.

Although Lanqi seemed to be randomly hunting down demon students who violated exam discipline, imperceptibly, a kind of uneven distribution gradually appeared -

It seemed like a matter of luck, or as if Lanqi was doing it intentionally or unintentionally, maybe Lanqi was just doing it on purpose, his reports would always come at a time that allowed the dragon demon invigilator to be closer to the cheating students.

In this way, in most cases, it was the dragon demon who could catch the cheating students.

And each time, the owl demon could only watch helplessly.

So.

In the owl's eyes, resentment towards the dragon demon gradually grew!

"......"

Lanqi rested his left hand on the desk, covering his chin.

The corners of his mouth finally trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

As if he could barely hold back his laughter.
