Chapter 40. Shijiang's Killing Intent Warning

Although they could choose to leave the Shadow World on their own after achieving the mission objectives, neither I nor Cornelia chose to leave immediately.

They played until the time ran out before being forcibly teleported out of the Demon Academy with regret.

Finally, the Shadow World entered the settlement phase amidst their reluctant expressions.

After being teleported out of the Shadow World, they were temporarily in a small, independent space, like a small room.

This was a liminal space between the Shadow World and the real world.

I could see a void gate on the wall of the room. Stepping into it would presumably allow one to completely leave the Shadow World.

Soon, the mission interface began to update.

【Shadow World Demon Academy Strange Tale has been cleared】

【Calculating results】

【Generating evaluation】

【Due to the high synergy of the team's actions, a team settlement method will be used】

【Challengers: Dekan & Cornelia】

【In this exploration-type Shadow World, a total of 5 normal classrooms, 2 non-clearable facilities, 1 ultimate classroom were cleared, and 1 non-clearable facility was pioneered】

【The team has achieved the following accomplishments】

【Subjugation Theory S — Successfully subjugated one demon teacher】

【Explosion Index SSS — Exceeded the core mission objective by 3267%】

【Destroyer of the Campus SS — Greatly damaged the school buildings and mechanisms of the Demon Academy】

【Never Decrypt A — Smoothly cleared the stage without following the mechanisms at all】

【Demon Slaughtering Machine SS — Killed demon students x17, demon teacher x1, ultimate demon teacher x1】

【Conjoined Twins C — Consistently acted in synergy with a high degree of tacit understanding】

......

【Pool Party S — Accomplished a miracle that should not have happened in the Demon Academy. Whether as a student, a human, or a demon, it should not have】

【Achievement review complete, evaluation generation complete】

【You are the elite of the elite in this school, pioneering trailblazers, true dominators, and absolute controllers. Compared to you, demons are as pure as babies.】

【Team comprehensive evaluation: SSS】

【As you have obtained an SSS grade evaluation in a team state, a team characteristic will be granted】

【Dekan & Cornelia have obtained the team characteristic: Partners in Crime】

【Partners in Crime: When the two are in a team, there is a higher probability of obtaining an initial identity of the evil faction.】

【Reward settlement: Rank increase (Dekan Rank 2 → Rank 3, Cornelia Rank 3 → Rank 3), Bach's Heart of Terror (Rank 5 Rare Material), Olive's Ultimate Frenzy (Rank 4 Epic Spell Card), Olive's Toxic Scorpion Tail (Rank 6 Epic Material)】

"Huh, an epic dropped directly."

Compared to my own rank increase, I was more focused on the rewards we received.

【Olive's Ultimate Frenzy】

【Category: Spell Card】

【Grade: Orange Epic】

【Rank: 4】

【Effect: For 30 seconds after use, greatly increases one's physical abilities, and enhances agility and perception.】

【Remark: Olive doesn't only use this skill for combat.】

I looked with some surprise at the three items floating in front of us and took them into my hands.

They included a card glowing with orange light, a heart-shaped green crystal gem, and a scorpion tail filled with a dangerous aura.

Besides being created by card masters, magic cards could also be naturally produced in the Shadow World.

It was just that the probability was extremely small.

The Shadow World more often dropped key materials used to create magic cards.

Generally, after clearing a Rank 4 Shadow World, it was already good for one person to get a Rank 4 blue or purple material.

The reason our rewards were so generous was probably directly related to our outstanding performance in the Demon Academy.

"Cornelia, this card is for you, how about I take the remaining two materials?"

I proposed.

"Okay."

Cornelia agreed readily.

Then I handed 【Olive's Ultimate Frenzy】 to Cornelia.

Cornelia took the card and looked at the orange card with great joy.

She had never seen a natural Rank 4 epic magic card before!

She also never thought she could get a Rank 4 epic card just by clearing a Shadow World once.

It was just like a dream.

This card was very suitable for her.

Uh, except the description was a bit strange.

"Sigh, it's time to go back to school."

Thinking about having to go back to school, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh."

Cornelia also felt a bit sentimental.

The two of us left the liminal space with our spoils of war.

Spoils of war from the liminal space could be brought back to the real world without being bound.

They stepped into the void gate before them and returned to the Shadow World connection point at Heavenlit Academy.

......

Two days had passed since returning from the Shadow World.

Cornelia and I had also received a lot of attention at school.

Since we both carried the Shadow World Broadcast Program, the details of the situation with the Resurrection Church members did not need to be supplemented by us.

The school's logistics department had already prepared the documents needed to be provided to the kingdom.

Of course, as for the bounty for the Faceless Man, they still needed to go through the procedures themselves.

After class today, Cornelia and I quickly went to the Norton Kingdom branch of the Kingdom Federation to collect the bounty.

Next, they had an important matter, which was to divide the spoils.

"After deducting taxes, there are 264 gold coins left. After deducting our pre-battle preparations and card losses for this Shadow World, which is about 12 gold coins, we have 252 gold coins left. Let's keep 52 gold coins as team funds in our team bank account, and the rest we each take 100, how about that?"

I said to Cornelia while taking notes in a small notebook.

"Okay."

Cornelia didn't want to think about these numbers.

It was fine to leave all the accounting to me; she trusted me.

"After that old brother's ill-gotten gains, ah ptooey, charitable funds are transferred over, we can divide it one more time."

I put away the notebook with great satisfaction. This time, it was a full harvest.

Most importantly, I had confirmed with Shijiang that 【Olive's Toxic Scorpion Tail】 could be used to repair 【Shijiang】.

I still needed to collect at least four more epic materials of the demon series of Rank 6 or above.

Additionally, I myself had to reach Rank 6 before I could begin to repair Shijiang and resurrect her.

The remaining four demon-series materials would probably have to be bought.

After all, it wasn't every time that one would encounter a demon-series boss, nor was it certain that one could defeat it.

But such high-rank epic materials were astronomically expensive.

To collect them all, I still needed to continue working hard to earn money.

All so that one day I could see the true face of this old demon hag.

"Hmm?"

A voice suddenly came from my heart.

"Ah ah, Teacher, you're awake?"

I immediately responded with my thoughts.

Shijiang: "What were you thinking just now?"

Me: "I was fantasizing about your peerless beauty."

Shijiang: "......Don't let me hear those three words again."

Me: "What?? I can't even say the three words 'beautiful girl'?"

Shijiang was silent for a while.

She felt that I was becoming more and more shameless.

"I'm going to sleep."

With this thought, my mind became quiet again.

I finally let out a sigh of relief.

This old... beautiful girl, I didn't dare to piss her off.
