After the curtain fell, the theater lights dimmed to a soft glow. The stage lights slowly receded, leaving only faint halos swirling across the stage. Mysterious, bustling, and intoxicating. {Write here I hope readers remember our domain name}

After a moment of thought, Lance decided to take this opportunity to ask the head of the music department some more questions.

However, Ranch couldn't directly ask the head of the music department like he did with Bachelor if "anything had happened at school."

He certainly wouldn't want to arouse the music department head's suspicions prematurely.

So, I chose a reasonable and appropriate question:

"Excuse me, Principal, when will the headmaster be back"

"It's hard to say for sure, but a high-level meeting was held at the school a few days ago after which the principal went to the Demon Realm Education Department. But rest assured, the school will continue to operate normally. Apart from things that absolutely require the principal's signature and seal, the vice-principal can handle everything else."

The director shook his head and replied.

"A high-level meeting Could something be happening at school"

Lan Qi murmured, seeming not at all interested in investigating, only simple curiosity.

"Whenever there's a meeting like this, with only the principal, vice-principal, and a few senior professors, it definitely means something's wrong. But don't bother thinking about it, we can't interfere anyway, and don't worry too much. This is a prestigious school with alumni who are powerful digital demon lords, as long as you follow the rules, even the Ministry of Education wouldn't dare to cause trouble."

In the demon realm, those who can be called powerful figures of great influence among the demon race are at least eighth rank and above. Any one of them holds a position of considerable importance in the demon realm.

The headmaster said it was impossible to say whether this brilliant demon before them could possibly grow into a unique and powerful demon lord in the future.

"Oh oh."

Lance nodded eagerly.

Lynch feels that the "danger tonight" mentioned in Mission Objective 2 is most likely related to the content of this high-level meeting.

However.

I want to get more crucial clues.

It's probably only available in a class for Level 3 with higher-level teachers.

Besides, relying on only the duo of Ranch and Huberlian might not be enough. They would also need to exchange and share information with four other challengers to uncover the truth behind the high-difficulty task [Task Objective 2], which is also the difficulty level of this fourth-tier shadow world.

Of course, Ranch now seemed to have an unexpected path laid out before him.

If he can make it into the school administration.

Maybe we could skip all the complicated decryption steps altogether.

It's a pity.

He can only stay at the academy for 10 hours now.

Wanting to take this abnormal career advancement path is a bit difficult.

……

Ranch conversed with the music department head once more, then turned his gaze back to Huberly in the audience.

"Hyberlian, it's your turn!"

Lancer waved his hand, inviting Huberlian to step into this musical sanctuary and begin her performance.

Here it is:

"He's here."

Hubbert leaned in and lowered his voice.

She slowly rose from her seat, her shoulders straight, and resolutely strode through this musical hell that Ranch had created.

Although the music in the classroom was still terrifying, constantly assaulting her eardrums and shredding her nerves.

But Huberly felt she had somehow found a kind of balance in this endless pain.

She was even surprised to find that she seemed to have developed a certain resistance to sound magic from the Lanchi military training in this classroom!

And on stage, the head of the music department began to host the performance assessment again.

He no longer wanted to bother with Lance, he just wanted to get rid of him as quickly as possible.

However, this time, due to a drastic change in the overall situation of the classroom and the music instructor becoming five people, he needed to explain the new changes to Huberlyan, who was still able to participate in the performance.

Now the entire classroom has fallen into an automated cyclical pattern.

The slumbering spirit, constantly oscillating between fainting and waking, accepts every student's performance as it always falls asleep during the act.

And as a music tutor, while orchid has already informed the head of the music department that his musical philosophy is one of great love and inclusivity, he will respect all forms of art.

In other words, as long as the student can make a sound on stage, Lanchi will acknowledge them.

So now there are 2 music teachers who have approved it.

That's it.

A new chapter begins.

Huberly stepped onto the stage, enveloped by the cacophony of screams from the audience—a chorus of pure, unadulterated terror.

She stood there, bearing the immense pressure from the audience, gritting her teeth and singing out the song.

Your singing is really beautiful, it's heavenly!

After a round of insincere and exaggerated boasts in Ranch, Huberly successfully passed the assessment.

"!"

Hubbertlian didn't know how Lanche could say such a thing with a clear conscience.

She, wearing a Sima face, returned to the audience once more. She dragged Bachelor onto the stage and let him rant on stage like someone having an epileptic seizure for two minutes.

"Perfect! It's just perfect!"

Under the praise of the only sober judge, Ranchi, Bachelor also passed.

Bach himself didn't know how he passed.

……

The last ten or so minutes dragged on.

This theater, enveloped in the music of hell, where the ruler of demons was bestowed upon the stage, has finally come to an end for its first session.

The bell symbolizing the end of class rang, its sound piercing through the walls of Purgatory Hall Academy as if it could travel throughout the entire institution. It echoed in the vast hallways and every classroom.

This is the first 30-minute break time.

What's unique is that right after class, this wide hallway was completely empty, with no students in sight.

After a while, three students finally came out from behind the gate.

Only three students were able to survive from the classroom 【Demon King's Gift Theater】 on G24 corridor.

And one was still like a corpse, dragged out.

……

Meanwhile, on the F13 corridor.

Time remaining: 9 hours 59 minutes

Task Goal 1: Academy Exploration Degree Exceeds 60%, Current Progress 10%

[… ]

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A young man frowned at the 10% progress.

"Logically, a classroom with one seal on the door should be a 1% increase upon entry. The moment we pass through, that number also increases by 1%."

That means we contributed 2% of the exploration effort.

"Why is it already at 10%"

He muttered to himself, perplexed.

Could it be that the other two teams both contributed 4%, but they are the only ones who didn't

Or could it be… that a single team contributed 6%…

"Brother, could it be that a formidable opponent has joined forces with us"

The young girl beside him seemed to be praying and confessing, finally lifting her eyes to look at him and speak.

"…"

The young man pursed his lips and shook his head.

"This absurdly evil theme placed in the Fourth-Tier Shadow World is also the most dangerous kind. Normal humans simply couldn't adapt to the ethics and rules of this ancient demonic world... Even among Gold-Rank Challengers, there are almost no specialists who are good at the Demon Shadow World."

And for them, as Silver-level Challengers of the Holy Teachings Research Society, to ally with demons — to disguise themselves as demons, to imitate their actions — was a torture to their very souls.

As she listened, the girl took a deep breath, as if starting to feel afraid.

"Could it be... that a real demon from the Demon Race has infiltrated the challengers"
