The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Therefore, it would be best to ask Professor Arnold for his opinion first.

"If someone wants to kill you, you don't need to have any reservations. Go ahead and do whatever you want."

Professor Arnold replied coldly.

This surprised Dekan.

He thought Professor Arnold would at least tell him not to cripple the person.

"Is it really possible?!"

"...Wait, Dekan, why do I get the feeling you're starting to look forward to this?!"

Professor Arnold began to doubt whether he should have said those words.

If everyone else were taking the exam normally, he certainly wouldn't want Dekan to go too far.

However, Professor Arno worried that there might be scoundrels in the northern states who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to harm Dekan.

Therefore, he prioritized Dekan's safety and supported Dekan in giving his all.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems a bit too much to directly elevate Dekan to the moral high ground.

"Hehehe..."

Dekan sneered.

He was about to begin preparing to settle accounts with these fellows in the northern kingdoms.

I never expected these guys would actually pick a chance to cause trouble.

We should at least find an unlucky person to serve as a warning to others.

"Professor Arno, a seventh-level hostage should be quite valuable, right?"

Dekan suddenly asked.

Professor Arnold: "???"

Professor Arnold began to roar wildly in his mind.

Kidnapping wasn't included in my statement about "anything"!

181 The Forbidden Gate of Dekan

Dormitory 404 at the Knights College has recently become a new campus legend at Hevenlitt College.

The owner of this dormitory, Dekan, has stirred up a storm within the Kingdom Federation in just one semester.

Although, due to the speed at which information spreads, even if Dekan becomes the thirteenth master card maker in the world, he will not be known to the common people in every part of the world.

Dekan was more of a focus of attention for powerful figures in distant countries.

However, many people around the world have already heard of the name "Mr. D"!

Even Morion, who lived in the southern countries, knew of "Mr. D's" infamous reputation.

Although the Church of Resurrection did not explicitly state who Mr. D is, its official announcement essentially included the name Dekan.

After all, there's no one else in the world who can fit into this description.

Of course, whether Mr. D really exists, whether he is related to the new top-tier card maker, and whether the Church of Resurrection is smearing Dekan are topics for discussion among the masses.

When Dekan was gaining fame in the capital, many people who were interested in him tried to investigate him.

But now, no one would risk their life to provoke Dekan.

Although most people also know that Dekan could not possibly be the Bishop of Pain.

But before him was the Destructionist Bishop Evans, and after him was the Marquis of Roderick.

They had to be afraid.

Although Dekan had never fought these two eighth-tier enemies head-on, and his performance was indeed that of a circus assistant.

But there is no doubt that Dekan successfully orchestrated the destruction of his enemies.

The students were worried that they might accidentally offend Dekan.

While they might not be personally killed by Dekan, it's very likely the victims will die without ever knowing why.

Therefore, things related to Dekan gradually began to evolve in the direction of being forbidden.

Students often pass by the corridor outside the Decan Gate in the student dormitories of the Knights College.

They were afraid of Dekan, yet sometimes they would try to test their courage by coming to the area at night.

Many observant students will notice this.

The door to dormitory room 404 is a little different from other rooms.

First, there is a small dent in the door panel.

Judging from the height, it looks like someone knocked on Dekan's door too hard.

However, this conjecture was quickly refuted.

No one would be so foolish as to provoke Dekan in such a blatant way.

Upon closer examination...

The dent in the door panel was probably made by Dekan himself.

then.

Many students in the college began to speculate on the meaning of the indentation on the Dekan Gate.

Some believe this is Dekan's abstract art, "Abyss on a Door Panel".

Some believe that Dekan intended this as a warning to those who might try to disturb him: Don't knock on my door and bother me, or I'll embed you in the door panel.

When the students asked about Chloeux, who seemed to be the most talkative member of the Dekan team.

Chloeux only stated that he did not know how the dent occurred.

The door panel was already like this when he met Dekan.

thus.

This only fueled the students' curiosity about the cause and effect.

Another strange thing is the lock on the door of the Dekan dormitory.

Although the door lock handle looks fine.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that it has been twisted and broken.

The lock cylinder must have been completely broken.

It can only close the door, but it cannot lock it from the inside.

We are currently in a state where we have the equipment but no functionality.

Anyone who comes here.

With a simple turn of the doorknob, you can open the door to Dekan Dormitory and explore the most dangerous place on campus.

but.

No one dared to try that.

The unlocked door in Decan seemed several times more terrifying than the locked one.

It was as if Dekan was using his favorite entrapment tactics to lure enemies who had designs on him.

Once you step into this room, you will trigger a series of traps that will lead to the destruction of bishop-level privileges.

This door gradually came to be regarded by the students as a forbidden object that was absolutely unapproachable!

Dormitory 404 in Dekan has gradually become a special attraction that has attracted much attention on campus.

Even students passing by the Knights College dormitory building can quickly spot which window belongs to 404 by looking up.

……

Since returning from Tristine City, Decan has not had the school janitor come to fix his door lock.

At that time, Dekan needed Cornelia to help him bring the large stockpile of "Captain Dekan" stored in the dormitory to Tristine City.

Cornelia didn't have the key to the Dekan dormitory.

Therefore, Dekan entrusted Cornelia to force open his dormitory door and remove the "Captain Dekan" inventory in the communication.

After returning to the capital, Dekan intended to ask the school janitor to make some repairs.

But after two days of living without a lock, Dekan suddenly discovered—

The lack of a door lock is incredibly convenient!

Not only does it save you the trouble of turning the key to lock the door when you leave the house, it also saves you the trouble of locking the door from the inside when you come home!

Moreover, whenever his friends came to visit him at the dormitory.

Dekan didn't need to run over to open the door.

All you need to do is say "Come in!"

It can save you tens of seconds every day!

Over time, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes!

So the lock has been broken ever since.

As for safety, Dekan has no worries.

He realized a truth through his interactions with Cornelia.

In this world, door locks, or even the entire door, are just decorations.

Those who can be kept out by the door naturally dare not provoke him.

For those who cannot be stopped, if they really want to get in, no amount of strengthening the door and locks will make a difference using ordinary methods.

Let's just leave it as it is now.

The art of setting up a virtual shop is also a form of great wisdom.
