The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Although her job title is clearly not that of a scout, her terrifying physical abilities, coupled with her superhuman perception, make her, in some ways, even comparable to scouts of the same rank who have used detection skills.

In addition, she knows how to pick locks.

His assassination skills...are also superb.

If you equip her with some low-cost, utility-focused spell cards, she can easily double as a scout.

"It wasn't the director; there were two guys following us."

Cornelia whispered the situation to Dekan in his ear.

"Keep walking, pretend you haven't found anything."

Dekan instructed.

He thought for a moment, then after a few seconds asked Cornelia softly, "Are you still following us?"

Cornelia checked again and replied, "Still there."

The school has now been set up by Dekan to operate on a regular schedule, and no other demonic students should be in the hallways except for the principal.

Of course, the demons didn't have the guts to follow them.

The other two must be the final two challengers.

According to Dekan's speculation, they are likely a fifth-order and a third-order.

Anyway, there will be at least one fifth-order.

Regardless of the other party's strength, Dekan was unwilling to make contact with them at this time.

Even if the other party had something to contact Dekan and Cornelia, it should have been during the previous story progression.

Now that we've defeated the boss and are almost done with the game, they've popped up.

Those who know, know what kind of people they are.

They likely have ill intentions.

Is the other person looking to make friends? Or perhaps they have something important to discuss?

You could have just shouted it out; there's no need to follow me like this, so furtively.

As for why the other party was able to find them now, the reason is quite simple.

The opponent may have already obtained the location of the boss room, but they are not fully prepared to challenge it.

As a result, the other party discovered that they had cleared the boss room through the surge in exploration progress.

Heading to the vicinity of the boss room and using some target acquisition skills will naturally allow you to find Dekan and his group.

Dekan felt a chill run down his spine.

Why do we have to work overtime again?

I just finished a PvE match, and now I might have to play another PvP match.

Of course, he's not afraid of PvP, but he really doesn't like fighting.

"Cornelia, if they dare to show their faces, no matter what their purpose is, beat them to death."

He was ready to summon the Broken Poet and the Cursed Doll at any time.

Cornelia: "Okay."

......

Dekan and Cornelia disappeared around a corner.

Two figures emerged from the shadows on the other side of the corridor.

They were dressed as demon students, but were actually two human challengers.

One of them had his face covered with black gauze, obscuring his features. Only the outline of his eyes could be vaguely seen, with bloodshot eyes around his dark pupils. He exuded an evil and eerie aura.

The other man was short, with bulging eyes, chapped lips, and a sinister smile.

They were communicating using a unique sign language.

Have they spotted us?

"Not at all, we can get started very soon."

The current mission countdown has 5 hours and 3 minutes remaining.

In three minutes, the next break will begin.

Even if we make a huge commotion, it won't attract the attention of the director.

"According to the matching rules, they are at most one fourth-tier and one third-tier, or even lower-tier. How did they manage to clear Olive so quickly?"

"These two are probably code-breaking experts; you can tell from their performance in the exam room."

"For the sake of the doctrine, for the revival of the world, we can't let these guys who are good at decryption grow stronger... Besides, they must have a lot of good cards on them."

The short man gradually could no longer hide his greedy smile.

These young geniuses are often elites nurtured by countries with all their resources, and they possess a considerable number of rare cards.

"No matter how good the cards are, they're just two young kids with very little combat experience. After such an intense exploration, they must have suffered considerable losses. I've discovered that one of them is already seriously injured and can't even walk."

"Heh, they're really two easy targets. We've been holding back our fighting strength, they simply can't handle our surprise attack."

However, just as they continued to follow up...

"Don't you feel like something's wrong?"

The man with his face wrapped in gauze frowned and gestured.

"Is there?"

Why does the air feel... a little different?

However, before they could come to a conclusion, a flash of light illuminated the dimly lit stairwell, and a violent explosion resounded throughout the stairwell.

The intense explosion engulfed both of them, leaving their figures in a blurry and extremely disheveled state.

"Ahem, a delayed-type third-tier fire spell?"

As the smoke and dust cleared, four strangely shaped giant masks appeared beside the man in gauze, protecting him and his companions.

The explosion caused them almost no real harm, except for some damage to their clothes.

But right after, the short man he was protecting seemed to stumble and almost lost his balance.

"Hold your breath!"

The man with the gauze bandage shouted.

After the explosion, a colorless and odorless poisonous gas began to fill the air!

If too much is inhaled, it may cause unconsciousness!

"Damn it! Those two guys spotted us, we need to get out of this hallway right now!"

After all, the stairwell is not a completely enclosed space; as long as you move to another place, you can avoid being affected by the toxic gas.

However, just as they were about to move forward, they discovered that the ground around them was scattered with spikes.

You can see that the carpet is being gradually corroded by the nails.

These spikes must also be highly poisonous.

"These two bastards! Which school taught them to use cards like this?!"

The short man couldn't help but roar angrily. If the man with the gauze hadn't been protecting him, he would probably be covered in these spikes.

Moreover, he is now quite certain of one thing.

These two teenagers are definitely not good people!

037 Dekan encountered thugs

Scattered footsteps echoed in the quiet stairwell.

Two figures were running down the corridor, oblivious to the loud noise and the shockwave behind them.

After detonating an ambush, Dekan and Cornelia did not launch a further attack but instead chose to flee.

The three-piece set of [Hydrogen Explosion], [Hypnotic Gas], and [Poisonous Ground Spikes] had already been equipped by Dekan for Cornelia as well.

These three cards are essential spell cards for home and travel, as well as for murder and robbery.

Of course, this time, their only goal was to create a huge commotion and have the opportunity to widen the gap.

"Dekan, what do we do next?"

Cornelia, having now put Dekan down, asked beside him.

"Let's stall for time and try to find the position of director. Fifth-tier challengers are much more difficult to deal with than fifth-tier demons."

Even Dekan's expression was unusually serious.

Although it is endlessly enjoyable to fight with others.

However, their previous PvE difficulty was only Tier 4.

The next PvP difficulty level is Tier 5.

"Cornelia, we must not underestimate them. Those demons need to follow the rules, and they don't have any magic cards to use."

"But these despicable challengers are different; they might have some underworld cards up their sleeves."

"Let's just try our best to stall until the director shows up."

Cornelia nodded in response to Dekan's words.

Although she was a militant, she absolutely trusted Dekan's judgment.

In addition, Dekan can make the school never close, and they also have extra demon passes.

Dekan was confident about the number of Demon Passes he could obtain.

Sometimes students still need to rely on their teachers.

However, just as they were getting closer to the light around the corner, a black, snake-like shadow silently darted up from behind them.
