houldn't she be the devil instead……On the edge of the plaza.The open-air screen and steps gradually filled with people. In the distance, a figure with gray hair and golden eyes strolled by leisurely,...Chapter 74 This radiant demon must be the most evil one.

In the Hekka Academy, a giant classroom shaped like an arena, dazzling spotlights illuminated all four walls. {write here I want readers to remember our domain name}

This classroom is not a typical square design, but rather an elliptical arena-like structure. The ring of seats resembles bleachers, tiered upward until the last row almost touches the ceiling.

Now, halftime of the fourth period has passed.

And in the center of the arena, demons were locked in a fierce battle.

In the back row of the audience, a brother and sister sat quietly waiting.

【Time remaining: 3 hours and 30 minutes】

Task Objective 1: Academy Exploration Degree Exceeds 60%, Current Progress 748%

【……】

They are silver-ranked challengers of the Holy Scripture Research Society. They had suspected before that demons might have infiltrated the challengers. Now, they are quietly observing the changes in the mission objectives of the Shadow World.

This number is broken.

Originally, at the beginning of the fourth class, the progress was only 40%. Then it began to rise linearly at an extremely outrageous speed.

Although they explored the school thoroughly, they also realized that based on its size, if they were to explore the entire teaching district, their exploration rate would definitely exceed 100%.

However, 100% should be the calculated limit that the Shadow Realm predicts all challengers could achieve within a 12-hour period based on normal circumstances.

It is clearly beyond reason now.

This number is still jumping up every few moments, keep growing!

They have absolutely no idea what's going on!

At the end of the third class, everything was still normal. It was easy to see from the exploration value changes that all three teams had cleared the difficulty 3 classroom, a total increase of 18% in progress.

Through the investigation in previous lessons, they siblings also learned some information—tonight there will be unexpected guests coming to the academy for inspection, and this visitor seems to be able to make even senior teachers feel fearful.

The "dangerous source" mentioned in Goal 2: Tonight's Dangers must refer to the "Patrol Officer".

What their specific identities are, what their intentions are, and how they relate to the humans lurking in the Demon Academy all remain unclear. It will take three groups of challengers converging to exchange information before piecing together the key needed to unravel the mystery.

This is the correct mechanism of this shadow world.

However.

No matter how the siblings left clues and hints during breaks, trying to contact the other four challengers, the other challengers acted as if they had no intention of joining them!

In the shadowy realm where players begin scattered and identities are concealed, challengers remain oblivious to one another's existence unless they take the initiative to connect.

In this situation, the correct challenging strategy is definitely to give up on entering the classroom in the fourth class and do your best to find other challengers to seek cooperation.

It just so happened that, a while ago, the school announced an emergency new rule—

All students must return to the teaching area from the function area, and they must enter the classroom in the fourth period and are not allowed to leave. A large number of teachers will begin patrolling the hallways, and if any students are found, they will be driven into the classroom first. If they still disobey, they will be killed without mercy. At the same time, all classrooms with a difficulty level of 3 will be closed during the fourth period.

This kind of joke-like rule, it's like this world of shadows suddenly accelerated into overdrive!

They siblings had no choice but to enter a level 2 classroom first, just to save their lives, and wait until the end of class.

"Brother, could it be that someone made a mistake and triggered the danger mechanism prematurely..."

The girl's voice trembled, her vacant eyes searching for some glimmer of hope, but she found none.

"…"

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The young man bit his lip, not knowing how to respond.

His heart was filled with boundless fear and anxiety, almost consuming him. But he knew as a brother, he couldn't increase his sister's panic any further.

"Don't worry."

The young man murmured softly, comforting her.

After the first class, he kept observing changes in exploration degree to infer when other teams entered what difficulty classrooms...

Two challengers, despite consistently following the textbook walkthroughs in the teaching area and keeping pace with each other, showed no signs of merging. Their attitude was strange, as if they were completely unconcerned about whether the Shadow World could be cleared.

And there were also two water sprites, they clearly had the ability to pass level 3 difficulty, but for two classes from the second to fourth period, they didn't enter the classroom at all! They seemed to be running around in the function area the whole time, completely nowhere to be found!

"My Lady... we haven't done anything wrong, why are we in such a demonic academy... If you still wish to protect us, please send someone to save us..."

The young girl bowed her head, her hands trembling as she clutched a prayer.

When someone can only pray to the gods, they are almost completely hopeless.

At that moment, the classroom door was pushed open.

The sound of the door opening echoed through the classroom, sounding particularly harsh.

Then, a horde of demonic teachers strode into the classroom, their steps steady, as if parting for someone waiting behind the door.

Such a sudden intrusion immediately caught the attention of all the demon students present, as if time had been pressed pause.

Next, behind the door, strode a black-haired, emerald-eyed demon of radiance, leading the way.

His footsteps paused slightly.

Scanned the classroom.

"Come, take all the students in this classroom to the principal's office."

The Radiant Demon immediately ordered the classroom lessons to cease and escorted all the students to the principal's office.

It feels a lot like sending prisoners to a concentration camp.

The young men and women in the back row felt utterly defeated for a moment.

What has to come, will come.

They don't understand, just how messed up the entire magic world mechanism has become, that it would even cause the Headmaster to personally eliminate them!!

The Glowing Demon seemed to sense the unease in the entire classroom, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Students, please don't worry, the principal's office is safe and spacious. Currently, the school is facing a surprise inspection, and there are some risks associated with the curriculum in this classroom. I need to temporarily relocate you all. After fourth period, you can return to campus, and the school will compensate each student with 3 credits. I assure you of that."

The Hellfire Demon raised his hand, signaling all the demon students to calm down, and quickly said.

Suddenly, all the demon students fell silent. Even their expressions shifted in surprise at this unexpected delight.

They naturally didn't doubt the principal's words very much.

Because this principal, accompanied by many senior professors, wanted to harm them, there was no need to make things so complicated.

The two siblings in the back row exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with an uneasy mix of anxiety and confusion.

How do you feel, this principal seems to be helping them

Even protect them

But no matter how you think about it.

Only the headmaster of the Academy of Evils, this illustrious demon, would be impossible to help the challengers!

His profound and enigmatic aura commanded the utmost respect from even the most powerful demon teachers, acknowledging his supreme authority. He was undoubtedly the most wicked and fearsome leader among all the demon races in this shadowy realm!

It must be that the school ran into some trouble, causing the progress in the shadow world to shift at just the right time, giving them a slight chance.

The mechanics of the shadow world are increasingly fascinating.

But now, it seems like there might be a glimmer of hope for the two siblings!
