Chapter 293: Principal Lanchi's Thunderous Rectification Plan
Chapter 293: Principal Lanchi's Thunderous Rectification Plan
Within the corridor-like structure of the assessment area, two figures strolled leisurely along the spacious walkway.
The surroundings were enveloped in silence, disturbed only by the soft echo of their footsteps on the cold, hard stone slabs.
Statues and sculptures lining the pathway stood like vigilant sentinels, their gaze fixed upon every passing student.
This path seemed unfamiliar, or perhaps it was one they had never trodden before.
Occasionally, bizarre and sinister bloodstains marred the carpet, their dried remnants blending into the fabric's color.
The shapes of the stains varied; some were slashes from sharp blades, while others seemed to be irregular splatters.
It was as if some horrific incident had taken place within the school, transforming it into an indescribable game of terror.
Yet, the two individuals seemed unperturbed.
They exuded an air of detached cruelty and calm, akin to that of the demon tribe.
It was still not time for the first assessment to end.
Lanchi and Zestila had temporarily left the Magical Beast Breeding classroom ahead of schedule, taking with them only the black fox.
Lanchi's strides were steady, his head held slightly high, and the dim light illuminated his determined countenance.
His destination was clear, and he had only one task in mind.
Zestila stayed close behind Lanchi, as if being near him offered her some reassurance.
It was only after leaving the classroom that she realized they had been affected by various negative effects from the barrier.
Wherever they went, their locations were displayed in real-time on the bulletin boards.
Moreover, she felt as if her footsteps had grown heavier.
In addition to the speed reduction, there were other detrimental effects like increased vulnerability and reduced healing.
There were even corridors where they were unable to pass through directly; a transparent barrier blocked their way, forcing them to take detours. If they were cornered in certain areas, they would find themselves in a dead end.
Who knew if, in the event of a real battle, the upperclassmen behind the scenes would impose even stronger debuffs on them and grant buffs to their opponents?
These interferences served as a warning.
It was a message for her not to touch this championship that wasn't meant for her.
But she was powerless to change the situation and could only put her trust in her teacher.
"Zestila, think about it now. After the students get out of class and see the changes in your worth, what do you think they'll think of me?"
Lanchi seemed to sense Zestila's worries and turned to ask with a smile.
"..."
Zestila fell silent for a moment.
In truth, from the perspective of the other students... no matter how much they wanted to obtain those three hundred thousand points, anyone with a clear mind would realize a problem upon careful consideration.
For someone to start with a bounty of thirteen thousand and have it increase to over three hundred thousand within a single class period...
If his true worth matched this bounty, then the first reaction upon seeing him should be to flee, not challenge him! On the contrary, in the eyes of this great demon king, the other students were nothing but points waiting to be collected...
Under the comfort of his smile and gaze, Zestila seemed to relax a little.
Zestila took a soft breath, trying to calm herself.
She knew that this was just the beginning of a long journey to becoming a great demon tribe member, and she had to learn to face these challenges. At the very least, she needed to follow in her teacher's footsteps, even if he was human and an exemplar of the demon tribe.
Unconsciously, her gaze fell upon the damaged bulletin board in the corridor, displaying the bounty information.
Bounty: Zestila Lilome (Follower: Rocky McCarthy)
Total: 309,820 Points
Noble Student Zestila, Preparatory Student, Current Points: 182, ...
Follower Rocky, Follower, Danger Level Unknown, ...
This was the first time she had seen the evaluation of "danger level unknown."
At this moment, Zestila felt that even if it was extremely difficult, she really had a chance to earn tens of thousands of points.
The Pink Holy One was definitely chosen by the teacher, and no matter how the teacher used her points, she would agree.
As long as she followed her teacher closely, made decisive and rational decisions, and didn't hold him back, that would be enough.
After all, the key to ensuring their victory was to prevent her from being hunted down.
...
A few minutes later.
Following a stone staircase that bent upward, the two arrived in front of a room on the top floor of the building.
This was a classroom hidden deep within the architecture, its heavy door adorned with intricate carvings that exuded an ancient and profound magical aura.
On the wall beside the door, the written symbols were somewhat blurred, but they could still be made out.
This was a functional classroom.
There were a few functional classrooms like this in the assessment area, serving as a dining option for students who chose to take all five exams and didn't have time to go to the rest area for meals.
However, they would only open during breaks, and students could use them by paying with their merit points.
As most students were still in the exam venues for the first assessment, the two of them didn't encounter any others along the way.
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that other students wouldn't come here.
It was a broadcasting room.
In this functional room, one could use the broadcasting function during breaks by paying a hundred merit points.
The two of them stood in front of the door and waited for a while.
A deep and prolonged bell rang out throughout the entire college building.
This signaled the arrival of the first break, permeating the entire structure and stirring the once quiet assessment area into a bustling hub once more.
As the bell tolled, Lanchi pushed open the heavy door.
The door creaked, emitting a low moan as if it had been unused for a long time.
The two of them stepped into the broadcasting room.
The door closed slowly behind them, sealing them off from the corridor.
Ancient runes filled the room, glowing with a bluish-green light. In the depths of the room, against the wall, stood interconnected magical devices made of mythril, their surfaces engraved with intricate patterns and characters. A tall lectern loomed in the center, its tail wrapped in spiraling brass-colored ropes.
All one needed to do was place their student bracelet on the magical device to choose to consume merit points and activate it.
Although Zestila would have been extremely reluctant to part with a hundred merit points in the past, it wasn't as painful now.
In this Protoss Royal Magic Academy, merit points could be used for almost anything.
Not only could they be used for consumption in the rest areas, allowing one to indulge in the safety provided by the barrier, but they could also buy almost anything one desired on regular days.
Merit points could even be used to offset school disciplinary actions, and one could use them to help others get out of trouble as well.
This had led to a school culture that heavily favored students with inherent privileges, whether they were nobles or those with exceptional abilities. Sometimes, students would even dare to openly challenge their teachers.
Gradually, the school's atmosphere changed.
The students became increasingly violent and arrogant, with a lack of respect for people and things, empathy, and reverence for their elders.
While the living conditions in the Empire had improved, the children's hearts had taken a turn for the worse.
Naturally, his thoughts drifted to the past.
Back in the Inferno Corridor Academy, students studied diligently, followed the rules, and respected their teachers. When faced with threats from other races, they united and overcame challenges together.
Now, look at this school.
Many teachers, like Cidona, were overly tolerant of their students.
This was wrong.
As a teacher with ideals and a responsibility for education, Lanchi was determined to change this.
He picked up the microphone and tapped it lightly to ensure it was working.
Then, he began to speak:
"Hello students, I'd like to say a few words."
Lanchi's tone was calm and steady, yet it carried an air of absolute authority, echoing throughout the entire building and even the assessment area.
"Please approach this exam with a serious and upright attitude."
"For those who break the rules and exhibit poor academic conduct, we will show no leniency. I, Rocky McCarthy, hereby promise all the teachers—
"Feel free to go all out in this assessment. I will use my merit points to revoke all punishments the teachers have received this term. For every negative example student apprehended, you will receive a one-month paid vacation as a reward, with no upper limit."
Lanchi, dedicated to creating a beautiful campus environment, was always on the path to achieving this goal.
Zestila: "?!”
Cat Boss: "??!”
Hurry back, Hyperion!
This man has gone crazy!!
