The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Dekan felt that he had stalled for time enough.

He stood up and, without saying a word, slapped the man in the tuxedo hard across the face.

The crisp, clear sound immediately filled the quiet cabin.

Not only was the man in the tuxedo stunned, but the other passengers were also stunned.

"you?"

The man in the tuxedo looked at Dekan with a surprised expression.

Because his pain receptors were blocked, he couldn't feel the burning sensation on his cheeks.

But Dekan's slap was so forceful that it must have left a red handprint on his face.

Even without looking in a mirror, I can imagine how ridiculous I look right now.

"What are you pretending for? Hijacking a plane and thinking you're so cool? Don't you know you look like a clown?"

Dekan looked at the man in the tuxedo as if he were trash.

"Whoosh..."

Mir covered his mouth.

Despite having prepared to laugh, I was still taken aback by the man in the tuxedo's stunned expression and the fact that half of his face was flushed.

She still couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This tastes authentic!

Mir's light chuckle seemed to break down the man in the tuxedo's last defense.

"You bastard!"

The man in the tuxedo roared.

He was no longer as elegant as before. Enraged, he grabbed Dekan by the neck, raised his leg, and slammed his knee into Dekan's stomach.

"Waaah..."

With a painful whimper, Dekan's body went limp, and he seemed to lose consciousness.

For some reason, the man in the tuxedo felt a pain in his knee.

That kick didn't feel like a physical blow at all.

He let go, and Ren Dekan collapsed to the ground like a piece of trash.

Dekan's condition is also very strange.

He simply lay stiffly on the ground like a doll.

Man in formal attire: "?"

He suddenly realized.

Something is wrong!

Could this Dekan be fake?!

If Dekan is fake.

Even if he has many hostages...

But the person he threatened never showed up, so wasn't his threat just a waste of time?

Before they could even help Dekan up from the ground, they saw his body turn into a card.

[Substitute Doll]

[Category: Summoning Card]

[Grade: Purple Rare]

[Class: 3]

[Effect: Can perfectly mimic the user's appearance]

[Note: This card must not be used for illegal activities]

This card is not uncommon; high-level challengers occasionally use it to confuse their enemies when exploring the Shadow World.

However, this card has a major weakness: the puppet's combat power is extremely weak, and it cannot be used with magic cards.

Considering its high market price, whether it offers good value for money is a matter of opinion.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The man in the tuxedo clutched his head, tearing at his hair, his eyes bloodshot.

Although the airship is still under his control, the plan to capture Dekan has fallen through.

He let the cooked duck escape, and when he got back, he didn't know how to explain himself.

He clearly confirmed that Dekan was chatting and laughing with Mirice before boarding the plane!

He and his companion kept a close eye on Dekan as they boarded the plane!

What went wrong?!

When did this bastard replace himself with a doll?

There's absolutely no way he could have missed it!

Could it be...?

This kid never intended to use his real identity to board the plane in the first place?!

You're insane!!

Who the hell is so bored as to defend against even the air?!

098 Dekan kidnapped the robbers.

The man in the tuxedo was so angry he was trembling all over.

He felt like he had become a complete joke.

Even hijackers can make a mistake.

It can be said that they have become a disgrace to the industry.

Moreover, he found himself in a situation that would be most perplexing for a kidnapper.

That is, it is impossible to determine where Dekan's true form is.

When making a threat, you must at least ensure that the target of the threat can hear you.

If you have no idea where the person you're threatening is.

That would likely be a threat to the air.

This makes him look like a clown in a fit of impotent rage.

"Hahaha……"

The man in the tuxedo covered his face, swept his hair back, and laughed maniacally.

Regardless of whether his actions succeed today.

He'll probably become a legendary, comical villain in the Kingdom of Norton, and even throughout the entire Church of Resurrection.

His reputation was ruined!

Dekan has ruined his public image!!

The thing he fears most is being seen as a comedian, especially since he's the kind of person who carries out terrorist attacks.

Dekan's actions almost cost him his job.

The man in the tuxedo stopped his trembling laughter and suppressed the anger that was driving him crazy.

After calming down, he called out:

"Dekan! You think you can get away with this by hiding?!"

The man in the tuxedo had an extremely cold gaze as he scanned everyone in the cabin.

Now, in his view, everyone could be Dekan in disguise.

Although at first he had considered that Dekan might not even have boarded the plane.

However, a closer analysis reveals that this situation is untenable.

Summoned cards become difficult to execute skillful commands after they have been moved a certain distance from their owner.

A summoned creature like a stand-in doll, which possesses the ability to control expressions and language and can even provide feedback to the user, requires the summoner to stay at a safe distance.

Therefore, Dekan must still be on that wind magic airship!

As for where Dekan is, he must be in the cabin.

He must have used a disguise to become one of the passengers!

Although the situation had been slightly reversed by Dekan, the man in the tuxedo believed that the advantage was still on his side.

In any case, he has no reason to leave empty-handed today!

It doesn't matter if Dekan refuses to compromise or show up.

The man in the tuxedo did not believe that Dekan could stand by and watch him kill innocent people.

And, Dekan's classmates.

"Dekan! I know you're here, so you still have to accept my terms!"

This time, the man in the tuxedo was 1,000 percent certain that Dekan was mixed in with the group of passengers in front of him.

However, none of the passengers made any move to step forward.

"Playing dumb, huh? Fine!"

The man in the tuxedo looked around and shouted:

"I'll give you thirty seconds. If you're willing to come out on your own, then I will forgive you."
