Chapter 79: Lanchi Embarks on His Academic Journey
Chapter 79: Lanchi Embarks on His Academic Journey
The heavy oak door emitted a low creak as it was gently pulled, a sound that had been mellowed by the passage of time. With the departure of the last demon teacher, the door to the principal's office slowly closed.
Beyond the large, wooden-framed window, the starlight of the demon world spilled into the room, intertwining with the warm lamplight to create a bright, luminous space.
Seated comfortably in a soft, woven armchair next to the square tea table by the window, Lanchi exuded an air of relaxed retirement.
[Time Remaining: 0 hours, 57 minutes]
[Mission Objective 1: Explore over 60% of the academy - Current Progress: 1200%]
[Mission Objective 2: Investigate and resolve the source of danger for the night - Crisis Averted]
[Mission Objective 3: Ensure the survival of at least 1 person until the time limit - 6/6 survivors]
[Challenger Lanchi's Location: T01 Corridor, Principal's Office]
After receiving the good news from Dai Aishiren, Lanchi checked the information panel of the Shadow World.
As expected, the mission status had changed.
It seemed that all the objectives in this Shadow World had been accomplished, and the time was now in the latter half of the fifth period.
Before long, the Shadow World would come to a conclusion.
Lanchi and Xibo Lian would then be transported back to the Ikelite Academy in the real world.
"No!"
The thought of returning to being a student in that hellish academy instead of the principal of this dream-like campus filled Lanchi with dread as he watched the countdown to the end of this painful dream.
Subsequently, Lanchi turned off the recording function of the Shadow World Recording Program on his body.
The live-streaming function could be turned on and off at will, as there were times in high-level Shadow Worlds, which could last for days or even months, when challengers needed to live their lives privately without broadcasting to an audience.
Since all the mission objectives had been achieved, even if Lanchi continued recording, it wouldn't affect the school credits or the promotion points calculated by the South Continent Shadow World Management Association.
So, for now, he just wanted to study and make notes on the Magic of Demon Beast Hair Processing that the Magic Department teacher had sent to the principal's office, in peace and quiet.
He didn't want the Association to record these forbidden magics; he just wanted to find Talia and delve into them together.
There was no need for other humans to know the principles behind these forbidden spells! It was better to end the broadcast here and give the viewers something light and enjoyable to watch.
Once Lanchi turned off his broadcast, the live stream from the real world would only show Xibo Lian's perspective.
He believed that the audience would prefer to see Dai Aishiren's joyful smile rather than watch him sitting in the principal's office, studying.
"Let me delve into this great product of demonic wisdom!"
Lanchi leaned back contentedly in his recliner and began perusing the book of magical principles.
"But why were Xibo Lian and I matched with a fourth-tier Shadow World..."
He murmured to himself as if he had just thought of something.
Could it be that there was a fifth-tier challenger who entered and raised the average difficulty?
If he and Xibo Lian were below the tier of the Shadow World, there should also be challengers who exceeded it to balance things out.
It was challenging to identify the four challengers among the demon students who were invited to the principal's office earlier, as they varied in strength, and high-level challengers were adept at controlling their magical power, making it difficult to discern who they were.
Of course, these four challengers were also unaware that Principal Lanchi was a challenger himself.
After all, it wasn't common for people to think that a student could become the principal of a demon academy within just a few hours.
"Hiss, what if they all mistook me for a hidden NPC in this Shadow World and it becomes extremely awkward if we ever meet in the real world?"
Lanchi realized,
"Never mind."
Lanchi shook his head. Now that they had completed the mission, there was nothing else to worry about. All he wanted to do now was to study the magic he had been longing for throughout most of this Shadow World without any distractions.
...
Above the Foundation Layer, in the F03 Corridor, was the Demon World Botanical Garden, where the scent of flowers permeated even through the closed doors.
Upon entering this classroom, one's gaze would first fall upon a vast lawn, like a lush green carpet spread out before them.
Winding paths meandered through a diverse array of Demon World flora, from towering Demon Eucalypts to tiny wildflowers, vibrant tropical plants to thorny vines. These seemed to be natural treasures that could only thrive in this magical realm.
Under the subtle glow of the magical lamps, the full and lustrous plants appeared blurry, like phantoms in the night mist.
They didn't need to be gaudy in color or form; instead, they exuded a quiet beauty like a poem, standing silently as time passed, unchanged and steadfast, quietly awaiting each sunrise and sunset.
Dai Aishiren and Huberian spread out a picnic blanket under a tree, preparing to enjoy a meal from the Demon King's Royal Restaurant in this early morning hour, where the starlight shone softly through the window.
It was four in the morning, which could barely be considered breakfast time.
Dai Aishiren's face was filled with happiness, and she lay on the ground, propping her head up with one hand while gently touching the flower stamens with her fingertips.
The flowers, as if sensing her warmth, began to bloom, their petals opening like a miraculous spectacle.
Dai Aishiren's debut special effect was to make flowers bloom rapidly, but to trigger this beautiful effect, Lanchi had to spend more magic when summoning her.
Correspondingly, she also gained a slight ability to make plants grow, although it consumed Lanchi's magic power.
Now that Lanchi had given her free rein to play, she didn't hold back in using his magic power.
Huberian looked at Dai Aishiren, unsure of what to say, but gradually relaxed.
At this moment, Dai Aishiren no longer resembled the mischievous succubus she had been before.
With the arrival of Dai Aishiren and Huberian, the teacher of the Plant Science class in this Difficulty 1 classroom temporarily changed the lesson to [Free Viewing], meaning students could rest freely in the classroom as long as they didn't damage the plants and would still receive a passing grade.
After the vice-principal's assembly and announcement, the teachers naturally knew the identities of these two female demons.
Today, as the Inferno Corridor Academy had just been reborn, it was a day of celebration, and the teachers wouldn't make things difficult for the students.
Unsure of how much time had passed in this tranquil and timeless atmosphere...
A cold gust of wind picked up, rustling the leaves.
Dai Aishiren tilted her head in confusion.
She felt as if, for a moment, everything before her eyes had become a little hazy.
As the sparse starlight gradually cooled, the quietness in the botanical garden was replaced by an indescribable stillness.
The next moment...
A piercing sound, as if tearing through the air, reverberated across the spacious grass field, its source unknown!
The strong sense of danger made Huberian's spine chill, and she instantly tensed up.
