r humans to slay blood races.But after listening to Baron Augustine's questions, they too felt confused. Were the things they did under the banner of benevolence truly against benevolence> "…"However...Chapter 1: Ranchi arrived at the performance venue.

In the grand music room of the Demon Academy, an immersive musical performance is taking place. 【Google Search】

In the center of the stage, a demon with blue flames atop his head is passionately performing, his figure clearly visible under the spotlights. His roar is loud and wild, like a bellow from the deepest depths of hell. Every note is filled with the power of death metal.

The judges' faces also showed expressions of seriousness and dedication. They either furrowed their brows or closed their eyes listening to the singers' voices.

As the lights dimmed, the entire venue plunged into darkness. Then, on stage, the light and shadow shifted, and the singing exploded in the silence, ushering in the climax of the whole performance. The magical burst of firelight instantly illuminated the entire stage, and many students in the back row immediately erupted in cheers that echoed throughout the theater.

Lan Qi felt for a moment that the Demon Academy seemed to be playing some kind of new teaching mode.

But the more bizarre it is, the more strange this difficulty 2 looks.

According to Bachell, it's definitely at least several times harder than the Difficulty 1 demon magic writing exam just now.

Rance swept his gaze across the entire large music room.

Four music tutors who looked like judges were sitting on stage. Although they seemed to be high-ranking individuals, their magical auras were not very strong. On the other hand, a teacher standing behind the curtain, resembling a host, emanated a terrifying aura of magical energy.

The host teacher seemed to be the master of this classroom and the enforcer of its rules. His proper attire and accessories appeared to hold a higher status among the faculty of this demon academy than the dragon devils and owl devils who had been seen in the examination hall before.

As expected.

Lanche, Huberlian and Batcher, sitting in the audience, quickly got their exam guidelines from the winged black orb-like familiar brought by the host teacher.

Only the brown cover of the booklet read:

Demons Music: Graduation Exam and Concert

Location: G24 Corridor, Demon King's Gift Theater

"Another test"

Lanche flipped open the manual and muttered to himself.

As the end of the school term approaches, there will be more courses related to final exams.

Bachtel murmured aside.

This was his first time being taken into a difficulty 2 classroom.

I was completely intimidated as soon as I came in.

During this period, you could walk into any classroom randomly and you were likely to encounter an exam.

But in order to pay the five credit points due every day, even if you have to grit your teeth and go for the exam, if you don't hand in the credit points, you will be executed.

Only students who usually have a surplus of academic credits can get through this exam season more easily.

"Since I'm already here."

Ran nodded and then began to read through the guide for this lesson.

The manual is very thin and can be finished in a minute or two.

The rules are actually very simple.

Students in the classroom can choose when to refer to it freely.

that is, performing a musical performance of the demon world on stage.

Assessment requirements: Your music needs to be recognized by at least two music instructors.

The performance time is limited to 2 minutes. Each special invited music mentor has sworn to the Demon King that they will judge the performances strictly and fairly in their own specialty dimension based on musical faith.

Note: Students are prohibited from using any magic while watching the performance. Only stage performers may use any magic that enhances the performance. Attacking magic is strictly forbidden and any use of such magic against the music director in the audience will result in disciplinary action.

Those who violate the rules will be directly eliminated by the demon eye. Those who do not meet the requirements will be executed on the spot. At the end, those who have not referred to the material will also be executed. Those who meet the assessment requirements can leave the examination room when class ends.

Later, it was explained that whether the exam is taken first or last, students are not allowed to leave midway. Students need to remain as audience members throughout, providing feedback and basic interaction to the on-stage performance.

Because it's not only the graduation exam but also a demon world performance, we can't lose the most important element of excitement.

Lanche raised his head and immediately noticed a gigantic magical eye suspended from the ceiling of the classroom. It seemed to be observing the entire classroom, transmitting everything happening within it to somewhere else.

"Lan Chi, are you good at music"

Hyberlian had now finished reading the manual and closed it, laying it flat on her lap. She turned her head to look at Lance.

Since Lanchi chose this classroom, he must be quite confident.

And she, although she had been cultivated in the arts from a young age, could not be said to be proficient.

"The music is average, but whenever art is involved, there's a certain commonality."

Lance wrapped his arms around himself, gazing thoughtfully at the performance on stage. He said,

Music is not something that can be mastered overnight. In the shadow world, there are no unsolvable situations unless there is a mistake made, so this exam should not only test the challenger's artistic cultivation but also have a hidden way to pass.

Of course, there are also times when, if the challenger is exceptionally talented, they may not complete a speedrun through the established mechanics.

For example, in a demonic magic essay exam, if there was really some cheating device that could directly write the answers on the paper, then naturally you could swagger out of the exam hall.

"Then I'll just watch you."

Hubberly nodded, since Lance had given no particular instructions, she would protect him when he needed help.

However, she hadn't expected Lance to be so confident about art at first.

"

It's over, it's over...

"

When Bachelor finished reading the contents of the guide, his face turned pale with fright.

He now deeply regrets his greed for following Lance into this level 2 classroom.

Looking at Ranch's composed face, maybe there's a way to get through this, but this solo performance can't possibly bring him with me!

"Calm down, you still have to lead the way for us, so we'll protect you."

Lanche patted Batchelor on the shoulder, calming him down.

Bachelor nodded vigorously at his words.

His last shred of peace came from this luminous devil, his father figure, beside him.

Then Lance looked again at the stage and the four mentors' figures.

I don't yet know how difficult it will be to get the music teacher's approval.

Just moments ago, the performance of this student who they saw when entering the classroom ended, and now they've entered the judging announcement phase.

While waiting for the result, Lancelot and Huberlian exchanged glances.

What do you think

Pretty impressive.

They all actually thought that the musical performance was, objectively speaking, of a very high level.

At least this student has received recognition from Ranch and Huberlian.

However.

On the four large seats facing the stage.

Only one mentor's facial expression hinted at satisfaction with the performance, while the other three wore serious and grim faces.

It's okay.

I'm not very convinced.

"No."

"Too bad."

Thus, the presiding teacher, in a silent pronouncement, raised his hand, displaying his unique coldness and determination. In the next instant, the demon student's body blossomed like a blood flower, his corpse crashing to the stage with a thud. A wave of damp crimson spread beneath him, as if a hasty revelry had abruptly ended!
