At the end of the bck mist permeating the pnt garden stood a blurred figure, like a ruler standing on a dark reef. Only the shimmering light on his body and his emerald eyes glowing in the bck mist were particurly clear.
He sighed softly, and his gentle voice followed—
"Why make this principal work overtime?"
He held a book in his hand, as if he were a teacher coming for a temporary css.
"...!!"
Cultist Lilette could no longer care about Huberrian. A strong sense of danger crept up from her toes to her entire body, making her feel the air in the pnt garden unbearably heavy.
Logically speaking.
Even if cssroom rules were vioted, there wouldn't be a problem as long as the principal didn't inspect.
And the principal of this academy rarely inspects such lower-level cssrooms!
Except for the previous necessary special mechanism that drove the principal.
But now, the mission objective of this Shadow World had already ended.
Following the mechanisms of most Shadow Worlds, such a high-level demon should no longer take any action!!
Now, in an instant, Lilette felt that it wasn't just Huberrian who needed to break out of this cssroom.
Under the principal's pursuit, only surviving the st ten-plus minutes of this Shadow World would allow them to return to the real world alive!
The silver shapeshifter [Immortal Mercury] that originally blocked the door was now engaged in a fierce battle with the dean-level demon teacher who had just bsted open the door with magic.
And two level-five demon teachers were following the principal.
Although Lilette was confident in breaking through those two level-five demon teachers.
What was truly terrifying was that mysterious and unfathomable demon principal who could make senior professors bow to him!
The magical power on him was controlled so exquisitely, weak and stable to the point where she could barely sense it.
Usually, this situation only has two possibilities.
Either the other party's magical power is truly weak.
Or, the other party is proficient in controlling magical power and far stronger than you!
Obviously, the principal of this demon academy belonged to the tter.
That holy yet eerie luminous shadow standing at the door seemed like an insurmountable wall blocking her hope of escape.
Just as Lilette didn't know how to respond, Huberrian was already rushing towards the principal with all her might.
"Foolish..."
Lilette naturally wouldn't stop this desperate act of suicide.
Originally, she was thinking she should prioritize getting back to the real world alive, temporarily giving up on killing the duchess.
But now that the duchess insisted on seeking her own death, it perfectly suited her intentions.
This kind of demon possessing absolute power and strength wouldn't care which student caused this tragic state in the pnt garden; all three students present had obvious signs of participating in the fight.
However.
Just when Lilette thought the principal or the demon teachers beside him would move to erase Huberrian in the next second.
Lilette saw the principal allow Huberrian to run near him without any movement!
"?"
Lilette looked at the luminous demon in the bck mist in astonishment.
She remembered this principal had the same non-aggressive feeling earlier in the principal's office.
And this was also the point that made her most wary.
Because the more a demon appears kind, rational, and calm, the more they are extreme psychological perverts that human thinking can hardly understand!
In the distance.
Seeing that Huberrian had escaped danger, Lanqi finally reopened the book in his hand and started reading.
This nonchant posture was as if he didn't consider the level-five female assassin in the pnt garden an enemy worth taking seriously.
"Student, please describe the situation that occurred in this cssroom."
Lanqi asked Huberrian gently while reading his book.
"..."
Huberrian hesitated slightly, seeming to understand Lanqi's thoughts a bit.
"They killed the demon teacher and all the students in the cssroom."
She looked at cultist Lilette and the bck mist warlock following her, then turned to Lanqi with a somewhat fearful gaze, saying in a trembling voice.
"Do you two have anything to say?"
Lanqi's gaze remained on the book in his hand, gently turning pages, asking the two cultists without raising his head.
"...No!"
Seeing the principal's attitude seemed neutral, Lilette quickly suppressed her impulse to forcefully break through at the cost of her life.
Indeed, Shadow Worlds always have rationality.
Even if the principal came, there were still mechanisms to follow, which meant there was still a turning point.
Now her goal had changed to enduring the st dozen or so minutes of the Shadow World, returning to the real world alive.
Even if she failed to follow the mechanism, as long as she could drag out a few more minutes through dialogue with this principal, her chances of survival would greatly increase!
"It was the one behind you who broke the cssroom rules and summoned the silver creature to kill the teacher, blocking the cssroom door, trying to erase us all and steal our credit coins!"
Lilette expined angrily, looking as if she couldn't tolerate Huberrian pretending to be weak and harmless, reversing bck and white.
"I see..."
Lanqi's voice stood out as absent-minded.
As if looking at the book in front of him was actually more important.
From the moment he arrived in the cssroom, judging by the positioning and the ability to form a confrontational situation, it did indeed look more like Huberrian was in a two-versus-two with the silver shapeshifter against Lilette and the bck mist warlock.
"Do you have anything to refute?"
Lanqi asked Huberrian again.
"...They're lying, that silver summon isn't mine at all, I, I couldn't possibly do such a thing."
Huberrian started acting as if she were in tears.
Although she knew this wasn't like something she would do.
But to cooperate with Lanqi, she had no choice but to learn to be bad.
Huberrian understood that to get here quickly, Lanqi couldn't call more demon teachers.
At this moment, there should still be a rge number of demon teachers on their way to this cssroom.
Lanqi's seemingly composed appearance, with his attention seemingly only on the book in front of him, was actually him deliberately dragging out time with his natural acting skills!
In the distance.
Lilette had already secretly controlled [Immortal Mercury] to attempt a breakout and attack towards herself, portraying a state of being enemies with [Immortal Mercury].
When she saw Huberrian's panicked and illogical appearance, she felt her chances of successful sophistry were even greater.
"Principal, you might as well let the dean stop obstructing the silver familiar and see who it will automatically attack without receiving orders!"
Lilette knew she might not be able to fool the principal.
However.
Compared to Huberrian, she had absolute control advantage in this cssroom, with various ways to self-direct and frame Huberrian.
"...Both sides are sticking to your own stories, and there's indeed no hard evidence at the scene. But from what I've heard so far, I'm more inclined towards the tter expnation; you do seem more like you've been in a two-versus-two standoff for a long time."
Lanqi said unhurriedly,
"How about this, I don't want to waste any more time either. Whoever goes to assist the dean in dealing with this silver familiar, I'll consider their words to be true."
He seemed a bit tired already, just wanting to focus on reading his book.
Hearing this, even Huberrian was stunned for a moment.
Finally, the true intentions were revealed.
She knew this bastard Lanqi was messing with people's minds again!
