The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

The number of challengers is 6.

In this bizarre and wondrous demon academy, danger lurks everywhere—the demon civilization is in reality a game of slaughter. To study demons, several human adventurers disguised themselves as demons using a lost magic potion and infiltrated the academy, only to discover humans being cruelly tortured by demons. Please rescue them or grant them release.

[Task Objective 1: Academy exploration progress exceeds 50%, current progress 1%]

[Mission Objective 2: Rescue at least three humans, current progress 0/3]

[Mission Objective 3: No more than 3 imposters whose human identities have been exposed; currently, 6/6 of them are still in disguise]

[11 hours and 59 minutes remaining]

[The starting point for all challengers is the exam scenario. The exam duration is 2 hours and 30 minutes. Subject: Demon Comprehensive]

Cheating in any form is strictly prohibited during the exam. If discovered, the invigilator will immediately deprive the examinee of their life.

[Once the exam ends, anyone scoring below 60 is considered to have failed, and the invigilator will immediately take their life.]

[You can submit your paper early]

[2 hours and 29 minutes remaining in the exam]

This information box can be shown or hidden depending on your intention.

Wow, we've actually arrived at the Demon Academy?

You think you're on vacation, but you're actually just studying in a different place.

Dekan mentally complained.

He did not comment on the story background or the mission content at first.

What the heck is a fourth-order?

He's a second-tier character, and Cornelia is a third-tier character; neither of them should be allowed to enter the fourth-tier Shadow World.

This is going to be a bit troublesome.

I thought I was coming here for a relaxing vacation at the movie world, but it turned out to be quite thrilling.

It is said that the Demon Academy has an excellent academic atmosphere; failing the exam means certain death.

I'd like to see who dares not to study properly.

And... I've turned into a demon now?

Dekan looked down at himself. Besides wearing the Demon Academy uniform, his fingernails had turned into black jade and were gleaming.

Then I touched my head and back, and I saw two horns and a thin, long tail.

I can't quite guess what kind of demon I've disguised myself as yet.

I really want to find a mirror to see what I look like now.

Dekan subtly observed his surroundings and noticed two or three candidates looking around suspiciously.

These people are probably the other challengers.

And there are others who, like myself, are observing cautiously.

"Any further instances of whispering or talking will be considered cheating!"

A hoarse voice came from the examiner who was patrolling the classrooms, his desire to kill like a wild beast that had been imprisoned for a long time about to break free of its cage.

This startled the candidates, who all obediently buried their heads and looked at their papers.

Yes, you can't look around too obviously.

Dekan thought to himself.

But it seems that slightly shifting your gaze is still possible.

Just now, he discovered some good news.

Cornelia sat to his left, with only an empty seat between them.

He just made eye contact with Cornelia.

Cornelia's appearance hasn't changed much, except that she has a pair of small dragon horns on her head and her pupils have turned into golden beast eyes, so she seems to be a dragon-type demon.

This convinced Dekan that his appearance hadn't changed much, since Cornelia had recognized him just now as well.

In that case, let's take a look at the exam questions first.

As a top student, Dekan was quite certain that if even he couldn't do it, then there was a high probability that no other challenger in this exam room could complete it independently.

[Question 1: To integrate into a group, humans sacrifice three-quarters of their individuality during their growth, a painful process. For demons, what percentage of their individuality would they need to sacrifice to integrate into a human group?]

[A. 1/4]

【B. 3/4】

【C. 0】

【D. 1】

hiss.

Dekan couldn't help but gasp.

Is this philosophy or mathematics?

As you continue scanning, the questions become increasingly strange.

Dekan finally became convinced that these problems were not designed for humans.

Although you can guess some of the questions, it's still too difficult to get 60 points by guessing.

After all, there are short answer questions and subjective questions to follow.

......

The viewing hall at Hervenlitt Academy.

"Why did they enter the fourth-order shadow world?!"

"Oh no! Freshmen are entering a fourth-tier shadow world! Last year, even senior students perished in a fourth-tier shadow world event!"

"If it's these two freaks... there might still be a chance. After all, they both defeated the weakened fourth-level examiners in the entrance exam. But their experience is seriously lacking."

"Damn it, even professors who are experts in Shadow World intelligence might not be able to pass these test questions from demonic civilizations. We haven't gathered much information about advanced demonic races from other Shadow Worlds."

Let us pray for them...

......

Professor Arno was sitting comfortably in his office when he received an emergency summons from the Knights' Academy and has now arrived at the meeting room.

"Dean, what do you think of their situation?"

Arno asked somewhat anxiously.

The principal shook his head as he watched the footage broadcast from the Alchemy Institute.

"It's hard to say, I can't predict how these two will perform in actual combat. Fortunately, they brought a spectator program, I'll check the details."

There are two possibilities when you are matched with a shadow world that is superior to yourself.

The first scenario is either being matched with many strong teammates or simply having extremely bad luck.

The second type is when a teammate with a high-level player intentionally teams up with a low-level player to challenge a low-level dungeon.

Using team cards when the skill gap is three levels or more is strictly prohibited.

Because it could seriously affect the survival rate of other players.

Further investigation is needed to determine the specific circumstances.

015 Dekan is no longer acting.

The atmosphere in the devil's classroom was unusually oppressive.

It was almost as intense as the high school exams in Dekan's previous life.

Dekan didn't rush to do the test. Instead, he secretly observed that among the suspected challengers, some were starting to get anxious, while others were not in a hurry at all.

Since even Dekan couldn't do it, it means that the way to pass this exam is definitely not to test academic ability.

Otherwise, it's unreasonable and a dead end for most people.

The solution is obvious: the challenger must copy the answers from the demon examinee.

After all, these questions weren't for humans, but rather for demon students.

The invigilators' movements were relatively predictable. The first invigilator would turn around approximately every 50 seconds and then pause on the podium for 10 seconds.

The second examiner would circle around approximately every 40 seconds, then pause at the back of the classroom for 5 seconds.

The error is one to two seconds.

Dekan's seat had a blind spot that neither of the two examiners could see about every three minutes, lasting for about two or three seconds.

At this point, one can make relatively small but significant attempts to exchange information or try to peek at the exam papers of the "devil examinee".

However, following these rules to complete the game is quite a hassle.

You might not be able to copy it all, and those devilish students won't be so obedient as to let you copy it.

They may need to cooperate with other challengers.

Dekan glanced at his good teammate.

Cornelia, sitting to his left, had begun to tremble slightly, as if she were about to break the pen in her hand.

You could feel her despair, her impending collapse, even through the air.

She didn't analyze the game mechanics at all.

Because she couldn't even figure out how difficult the questions were.

She thought everyone else could do the problem, except her.

Cornelia took a deep breath and gently placed the pen on the table.

It seems they've given up.

Then he clenched his fist.
