Chapter 31. Dekan's Bluff

“......”

The music classroom was terrifyingly silent at this moment.

Whether it was my calm and composed attitude since I entered.

Or my incredible ability to control the school's broadcast.

Or even the bizarre means by which I manipulated the other demons' actions, like some malevolent god.

All of it made the demon students feel a chill down their spines.

It was as if I had come here specifically to hunt them.

Whether they played dirty or fair, I would use the rules to counter them.

This feeling... was like being the ruler of the school!

Irresistible!

This time, the Music Teacher said nothing.

He started playing the piano on his own.

In his eyes, the fate of these demon students was sealed.

It was better to wrap things up quickly and send this plague god on his way.

This fellow was very bad news, in every sense of the word.

My series of actions and behaviors were definitely not something a demon student could accomplish.

The Music Teacher already had some secret speculations in his heart.

I was most likely sent by the Principal for a sting operation!

If I stayed any longer, he might even be in danger himself.

“Dun, dun dun......”

The music started, but this time, the demon students were already in a daze, not knowing what to sing.

So I pretended to hold an invisible microphone, looked at the group of demon students with a mocking expression, and began to sing.

“Dame dame, dame yo~”

And so, along with the music, I sang according to my own whims again.

The demon students' faces were filled with despair.

Even if they struggled with all their might, their voices couldn't overpower me, who had authority over the sound system.

Looking at my incredibly composed smile, their bodies couldn't help but tremble, as if they were standing on the edge of a cliff about to be pushed off.

By this count, they had already sung incorrectly three times.

“What a pity.”

The Music Teacher sighed and stood up.

Next would be the Music Teacher's slaughtering time.

Except for me, all the demon students were slaughtered amidst their miserable screams, not a single one left alive…

......

The entire stage had turned into a slaughterhouse, filled with the stench of blood.

The demon corpses scattered all over the stage made it seem to make it difficult for me to even find a place to step.

"You can leave now."

The Music Teacher said with a slight frown.

He had already strictly enforced the rules and regulations, so I had no reason to trouble him.

However, I showed no intention of leaving, just standing there.

This made the Music Teacher feel increasingly uneasy.

"It's not time to end class yet."

I said with a smile.

"You can already leave, I will give you a Demon Pass as per the regulations."

As the Music Teacher spoke, he took out a familiar red demon ticket and handed it to me.

However, I looked at the ticket with disgust and then averted my gaze.

It seemed I couldn't even be bothered to take it.

The Music Teacher's frown deepened.

This simple test made the Music Teacher even more certain of his guess—this fellow was not a student at all.

Any demon student in this school would surely have a fanatical desire for a Demon Pass.

To some extent, the Demon Pass was a get-out-of-death-free card!

Even if this fellow had stolen the authority to control the broadcast, the Principal couldn't possibly let him continue like this.

If the Demon Pass truly held no attraction for this fellow, then he must only be a temporary visitor to this school!

"Were you sent by the Principal?"

The Music Teacher's eyes were full of vigilance as he asked in a probing tone.

"You're very smart, unlike the other teachers, to actually deduce my identity."

I didn't answer the question directly.

My words still carried a hint of jest, but I finally began to look this demon teacher directly in the eye.

That gaze was as if discovering a rare intelligent person among a group of fools.

This caused the Music Teacher's heart to start pounding wildly.

The Music Teacher had heard some rumors during the previous break—

Some rather bizarre things had happened at school today, with several teachers being persecuted one after another.

And the methods of harm were extremely strange, as if they were all induced into committing violations and then died inexplicably.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate now that he was well-informed and hadn't committed any violations just now.

Seeing the Music Teacher's expression, as if he had just survived a great calamity, I felt he had probably imagined enough.

"However,"

My tone shifted.

I gently raised my index finger, a faint smile gracing the corner of my mouth, and paused meaningfully for two seconds before speaking:

"Even higher up."

The Music Teacher's pupils contracted violently.

Higher than the Principal?

Although various conjectures flashed through the Music Teacher's mind in an instant, he didn't dare to think any further.

The other party's identity must be beyond his imagination!

This kind of seemingly gentle demon who usually wouldn't resort to violence was actually the most terrifying.

You could never guess how strong his true combat power was.

He would disguise himself as the perfect prey, and just when you thought you had a sure win, he would reveal a power that would make you despair and crush you like a toy!

The Music Teacher was almost certain that if he had shown any favoritism or partiality towards the demon students just now, his corpse would probably be cold by now.

Even if I didn't do it myself, the Principal would appear, or an even more terrifying executioner demon than the Principal would.

"Rest assured, you are a teacher who abides by the rules. We won't make things difficult for you. We just have something we'd like you to assist us with."

I retracted my hand, clasping it behind my back, and looked at the Music Teacher quite amicably.

In an instant, my aura seemed to become full of affinity again.

“......”

Although the Music Teacher knew that the demon before him was a smiling tiger, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression softened considerably.

As long as the other party's purpose wasn't to cause him trouble, it was fine.

"Then may I ask, what do you need my help with, Your Excellency?"

The Music Teacher's words became much more polite.

"What I'm about to say next, please do not tell any demon. If it leaks out, not even the Principal can protect you, do you understand?"

I still said in that indifferent tone.

The Music Teacher nodded with a grave expression.

I continued:

“You must be aware that there are still many teachers in this school who do not teach according to the regulations and cling to false hopes, thinking they can get away with it. In reality, we have long been dissatisfied with this, which is why we launched this special operation plan today.”

“......”

The Music Teacher remained silent, but cold sweat was pouring down his back.

If he had been just a little less cautious, he might have been the one found out just now.

"In the last 6 hours alone, several violating teachers have been caught. You must have heard some rumors, right?"

I asked.

The Music Teacher hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"You are very lucky, but of course, it's just very lucky that you smoothly passed our screening."

My words had a hidden meaning, "But everyone has their share of bad luck, don't they?"

The Music Teacher fell silent again.

He didn't know how to answer my somewhat intimidating question.

"But luck is something that can be fought for on one's own, don't you think?"

I placed my hand on the Music Teacher's shoulder, staring into his pupils as if trying to see through his soul.
