magic high school

After using Lion's Eye for so long, he forgot that his real ability wasn't actually a lion hidden in his grooved pupils, but rather the clown mask left by his parents.

The true power of the clown mask is that it binds a comedic ability that can only be used in the local world each time it arrives in a new world.

However, the fate of this mysterious ability remains unknown.

Its effect is similar to adding a kill threshold mechanism; as long as you bring the enemy to the brink of death, they will definitely die.

How to say it...

While it might seem useless, it's actually somewhat useful. At least it gives you a kill threshold, essentially providing you with a "Collector" passive ability.

If it's useful, I can beat the opponent to the point of being critically injured and in a state of life or death, so why don't I just finish them off with a finishing blow?

Why don't you keep Fatty for me? Fatty gives me such a strong sense of security, especially the combination of a fat guy and a little boy, they're absolutely unstoppable.

Li Ge supported Gaga, while Fatty Brother was in charge of the rampage.

If all else fails, Fatty can transform into a 2.2-ton nuclear bomb, which is an unsolvable art of explosion at least at his level.

"Wait a minute, I have something to announce..." Li Ge coughed and said to his friends who were preparing to look for clues.

"Spit it out if you have something to say." Xiaoye said directly while rummaging through drawers and cabinets.

"Ahem, you all know I inherited a treasure from my parents, right?" Li Ge didn't really hide the clown mask and said directly, "But there's something wrong with this treasure from my parents. The abilities it gives me are always strange. This time, I've obtained a new ability..."

Everyone immediately stopped searching and pricked up their ears to listen attentively.

"In this monthly exam, any enemy whose fate I defeat is unknown will be killed by me," Li Ge stated, revealing his ability.

Others: "..."

"Let's call it a day and keep looking." Yi Lian sighed. He knew that Li Ge had a treasure left by his parents, but he didn't expect it to be even weaker than their fake.

If you can beat someone to the point of life or death, why not just kill them outright?

Li Ge: "..."

Well, it doesn't make a big difference whether they have this ability to exorcise ghosts or not, since they don't even know which world this monthly exam is in.

In the last entrance exam, Li Ge managed to get a perfect score thanks to Fatty and his understanding of Chernobyl. A key factor was that he could sing the Internationale; otherwise, the Soviet soldiers wouldn't have trusted him so easily.

If I could sing the Russian version of The Internationale, the effect would probably be even better.

But they didn't want to think about it anymore; they needed to find enough clues in the room.

This is a standard villa-style building, with a huge villa and courtyard. It is obvious that they are the young master and young lady of this family.

However, there are many unusual aspects.

For example, the furniture is very old and dusty in many places, as if it hasn't been cleaned for a long time.

It also seems that the weeds and branches in the courtyard have started to pile up, indicating that they haven't been tended to for a long time.

A villa of this caliber should at least have a butler and two maids. However, the villa is now quite desolate, making it seem less like a villa and more like a farmhouse.

Based on the system's description of this world, it is clear that the family "I" live in has most likely fallen into poverty due to the death of my father, and my mother is obsessed with religion, so she naturally neglects the affairs of the family.

Wait a minute, why does this background look so familiar...?

Li Ge felt a sense of déjà vu, the same feeling she had when she first arrived in Chernobyl. She wasn't sure, so she decided to wait and see.

He also started rummaging through drawers and cupboards, and discovered that the kitchen in his home was infested with cockroaches and slugs.

And at home, there was only a tiny bit of rice in the rice bag.

Even if a family falls on hard times, surely they still have plenty of rice in their rice bag?

Won't we run out of money to buy rice?

Li Ge looked slightly puzzled.

Soon, everyone who had gathered intelligence assembled in the living room and began sharing the information they had obtained.

"This is a family photo. The middle-aged man's head has been removed, leaving only the four of us and this middle-aged woman." Yilian found a photo and placed it on the table in the living room.

The group looked at the photo and found it quite unusual. The photo showed Yi Lian, Li Ge, Xiao Ye, and Valerie, who looked to be middle school students.

Apart from Xiaoye, who is still wearing a mask even though she looks like a little girl, everyone else looks very young, as if they have been shrunk down.

Even if it's a temporarily generated background, does the school know that the girl's real body is a mask?

It's amazing how the school was able to integrate them so perfectly into this world, giving them a complete identity and a lifetime of information.

However, this doesn't actually provide much information and can only serve as a reference.

"Also, at home we are four siblings. I am the eldest brother, Li Ge is the second, Xiao Ye is the third, Valerie is the fourth... This should be in order of age. Also, in the background, I should have dropped out of school and was working to raise tuition fees for Li Ge." Yi Lian said with a smile, revealing the information she had found.

"I found this in 'Mom's' room." Saya took out a stick of incense and handed it to everyone.

The others looked puzzled, but Xiaoye added, "This incense contains addictive and hallucinogenic ingredients, and judging from the situation, 'Mother' has been using this incense for more than five years."

At this point, a clear look of disgust and disdain appeared on her face.

In that instant, everyone became alert.

They looked up and saw a strange image pasted in the center of the living room. It was a badge of a group of people holding hands and surrounding each other, with a circle of flowers hanging around it, making it look incredibly sacred.

Not only in the lobby on the first floor, but in every room, in the stairwell, and even at the front door, this strange badge was posted.

With the help of the system's brief prompts, I can already think of many things.

Especially Li Ge, who is increasingly reminiscent of someone I know.

"I didn't find much here, just this..." Valerie took out a book.

This is a book called "The Gospel". When you turn the page, you see the title "The Gospel of World Peace and Harmony".

Li Ge also revealed that his family was out of rice and food. In that instant, all the information gathered by everyone could be pieced together into a complete clue.

Originally, they should have been a happy family. The father was a typical capitalist, and the mother's family was also wealthy and powerful. However, several years ago, an accident caused the father to pass away. The mother could not bear the blow and began to join the "Datong Church," and became obsessed with the church's gatherings and activities all day long.

As for the family property, it seems to have been completely divided up by relatives and the church, to the point that the eldest son had to drop out of school to work and raise tuition fees for his younger siblings.

Based on the available information, the mother would not spend a single penny on their schooling; she donated it all to the Datong Church.

The character "Li Ge" in the background setting is also very promising. It is said that she was recently admitted to the most famous school in the area. However, the tuition is very expensive, and her older brother has been working hard to earn money to pay for the tuition.

Judging from the time frame of her role, Yi Lian will have to go to work at the machinery factory early tomorrow morning to earn tuition fees for Li Ge and her two younger sisters.

And it's clear that my mother will sell this large villa soon.

Hmm... Why does this sense of déjà vu feel so strong?

"Actually, if you look at it this way, this family is still okay. Although it's a bit tragic, it's just a decline in their fortunes. I, as the eldest brother, can take on more jobs to help my younger siblings get through this and escape from this mother, right?" Yi Lian said at this moment.

"Note that this monthly exam is a combat-related one, which means we only need to find the enemy. And it's quite clear now that the enemy is the Datong Cult, which makes hallucinogenic and addictive incense." Xiaoye continued to stare intently at the incense.

The enemy has already shown themselves.

However, Li Ge frowned deeply. No... something's not right...

Valerie chimed in, "So for this combat-related exam, all we need to do is identify the enemy and then eliminate them? Confirm that the 'Great Harmony Cult' that Mom believes in is the enemy?"

"It's highly likely, after all, the mission hints given by the school are very clear: 'Find the root of the sect and complete the redemption of {me},' which can be interpreted as the redemption of our family," Yilian added her opinion.

The three chattered amongst themselves, piecing together the whole story.

"So, in other words, as long as we storm the Great Harmony Cult and kill everyone in it, we can complete the monthly exam?" Valerie raised her hand and spoke first.

"That's very likely. After all, it's a combat mission, and the hints clearly state the church's origins. Obviously, this monthly exam will test our combat coordination and intelligence gathering skills. The faster we find the real enemy, the higher our score will be," Xiaoye added.

No, something's not right. Let me think about what's wrong...
