nchEvery light in the theater seemed to be imbued with life. The moment the music ended, a wave of illumination filled the entire space. Pale gold light flowed across the black marble, like a stream...Chapter 49: Lan Qi harvested attention.

At the same moment, at the Icteris Magic Academy.

Dean Luo En, who was originally lecturing on the upper floors of the teaching building, received an urgent message and immediately announced class dismissal with a grave expression. He rushed to the conference room on the main floor of the Sage's Academy.

Push open the heavy door.

Although the meeting room was decorated in soft hues, a tense atmosphere seemed to hang heavy in the enclosed space. Each teacher’s face wore an unusually serious expression, their eyes fixed intently on the screen at the center of the room.

"Lauren, how are they doing"

Deputy Dean Ron sat anxiously beside Dean Lauren and asked.

Originally, Ron thought the second-order shadow world wouldn't be a problem for Lanci and Huberlyan at all, even if it was third-order, they could probably handle it.

After all, given their ranks, teaming up would either lead them into the more difficult second-tier Shadow World or a simpler third-tier one.

However, Ron never expected that these two newcomers, their first challenge to the Shadow World, would be swept into a treacherous fourth-order Shadow World with an abnormal background.

The demon realm of unknown space is definitely not a place where normal humans can survive.

There are two possibilities when a shadow realm is found to be overly powerful for its own rank.

The first type is simply bad luck triggering a low-probability event, but in this case, the other teammates are often stronger than average.

The second kind is that there are cases of rule violations, with high-level players deliberately teaming up with low-level players to completely crush the lower-tier shadow worlds, disrupting the normal matching mechanism of the shadow worlds.

"Generally speaking, it would already be a serious accident, but if it were the two of them, it might not necessarily be incompatible with this shadow world."

The Headmaster of the Wise Men's Academy, Loren, gazed at the magic screen in the center of the conference room, a broadcast from the Engineering College. He pondered deeply.

The vice dean, Luo En, also nodded in agreement.

He probably understood what Lauren meant, but as the dean, there were some things she could only express tactfully.

Most challengers, especially those below Platinum rank with less experience, will struggle to perform normally in the extremely dangerous Shadow Realm. The unusual environment, bizarre rules, and excessively violent and insane history all take a toll on their intellect and mental fortitude.

But there are also those who, the more they delve into the frenzied shadow world, the more they can unleash talents that would be impossible to display in the real world.

The Devil's realm, where human laws do not apply.

Once freed from the legal shackles of Ranch...

They are not well-reviewed.

……

A small attic designed like a library, belonging to the Sage's Courtyard.

Tall, ornate bookshelves, they stretched along the walls to the ceiling, like the ramparts of an ancient castle.

And on the second floor of this building, there are also independent magic screens, which can even actively choose from the rotating screen.

"Haha, Mo Dan, you got tricked by an idiot today."

A young woman in a black dress sat in the main seat, watching the screen with amusement, her laughter causing her to kick her legs and clutch her stomach.

This is the building their team has access to, and it’s a unique activity space granted to them by the school.

Although Moran is a gold-level challenger, he is also the leader of this team.

But here, the true leader is immediately apparent.

The woman in the black silk gown was a fourth-year student of platinum level, possessing immense power and prestige that most teachers couldn't even compare to.

"Yes, it seems like we won't be seeing him again."

Originally, Count Mordian Gashigres was still somewhat sullen. Now, his expression looked considerably lighter.

But you also have to be prepared, just in case he's not a fool, right

……

In a spacious and bright, independent laboratory belonging to the Magic Engineering Institute, the design is exquisite with a color scheme of white and gray, creating a feeling of tranquility and focus.

High vaulted ceilings are adorned with lights that cast an even glow over every corner. The entire circular wall is lined with magical screens, displaying a variety of data and information.

And in the workshop's diverse array of workbenches, master artificers can be seen diligently engrossed in their research.

"No way, is this the boy Vivian mentioned The top student from the Academy of Sages this year"

Far away.

Hearing the voice of their companions standing before the magical screen.

A handsome young man in work clothes and thick gauntlets, repairing a magical device, lifted his goggles and glanced at the screen.

"It's a good thing I didn't let him in."

A girl in a different style of outfit from the Magitech Academy spoke up.

Unlike the young woman, her collar was adorned with a silver badge signifying a registered card maker from the Card Maker's Association.

"This young man's train of thought is reportedly different from ordinary people, maybe he did it on purpose."

The young man scratched his head in confusion, muttering to himself.

But...

Now, looking at this scene in the Devil's Proving Ground where the mechanism has been completely destroyed, it seems like a hopeless situation.

"Don't you understand"

The young man took off his gloves, put down the tools in his hands, and sat at the table. He stared thoughtfully at the magical screen.

He also had the same light gold hair as Princess Vivian of Heston, but he dressed very plainly. His style was like that of an ordinary commoner.

On a daily basis, he dresses this way unless he is returning to the palace.

Then often people can't find out that he is actually a prince, only feeling that his temperament is extraordinary.

Girl: "Do you see anything"

Youth: "I'm not too sure either."

"……"

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

The girl said nothing more, she just stood there, her arms crossed and her head turned away.

If it weren't for the trouble of beating up royalty, she would have already done it.

……

The dormitory building of the Knights' Academy.

From the hallways and stairwells, students who had just finished a day of studying emerged one after another, hurrying through the hall. Some looked refreshed, while others appeared weary.

Just as school was about to let out and dinner time was approaching, the hallway was noticeably more crowded than it had been in the afternoon.

"Hurry to the Gerald Memorial Square, or you'll miss out as the steps will be filled up later."

"I didn't expect to find such a pure and simple warrior in the Academy of Wise Ones."

Not far away.

At the corner of the first-floor corridor, a student with gray and white hair stood by his dorm room door. His sunglasses were perched arrogantly on his nose, and he had two nails in his mouth as he fixed a plaque inscribed with "Frey Detective Agency" to the side of his door.

Inadvertently noticing Frey passing by, the students all had expressions of slight surprise.

Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that there wouldn't be a detective agency in school.

The Knights' Academy - Why Have Detectives

A newly arrived newcomer, seeing the man with white hair and purple eyes, who exuded a wild, wolf-like power, didn't find it strange at all.

"...

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Frey stared at the nameplate, lost in thought.

He didn't know what had happened at school suddenly, causing such a commotion tonight.

Since a while ago, I've heard several students putting their books back in the dorm and running out, saying similar things.

"Forget it, I'll take a look later."

Frey continued to focus on the task at hand, saying.

(The End)
