Card simulation, starting with the Goblin Deserter

In the dark and silent corridor, the sudden sound of high heels seemed particularly jarring.

As she walked, Professor Grace landed on a straight line, like a model on a runway. In a very good mood, she even hummed a strange tune.

"The feeling of walking around the college campus with all that makeup on~"

"It's like being seen by that! It's like being seen by that! The students saw it~"

"..."

Da da da!

Da da da!

Each time the high heels touched the ground, it felt as if they were touching the hearts of Hayes and his two companions.

They were held captive by the demonic hand, silently watching the classroom of Class One gradually approach, like condemned prisoners about to walk to the guillotine.

However, it was the classmates who were going to die; the three of them were more like bystanders on the guillotine.

"There's nothing we can do," Hayes sighed. "We can only hope they don't overreact; maybe... she'll kill fewer people?"

Linda and Gentry stared at him in silence.

Don't be so extreme?

They were so scared when they saw Grace looking like that, they almost peed their pants!

Without any warning, anyone who saw Grace would have to shout "Holy crap!"

The thought of the class screaming and Grace going on a killing spree sent chills down Hayes' spine...

We just don't know exactly what level Grace is in this secret realm. If the whole class were to work together, could we fight her?

Thinking of this, Hayes pondered for a moment and tentatively approached Grace.

"Professor? Professor Grace?"

Grace ignored her and continued walking her model's gait.

Hayes paused for a moment, then shouted, "Beautiful Professor Grace, did you hear me?!"

This time, Grace stopped. She turned around, flamboyantly tossing her hair with one hand, and coldly scolded.

"Do you think such insincere flattery will make me happy, Hayes?"

But not only did you respond to me, the devilish hand behind you was so happy it was swaying left and right.

Hayes, embarrassed, forced a smile: "Beautiful Professor Grace, have you recently made a breakthrough?"

"I notice your magic hands are exceptionally nimble, constantly radiating an aura of...beautiful strength!"

"May I ask what level you are currently at?"

With Linda's example just now, Hayes has figured out how to properly praise "Grace"!

It's unwise to praise someone's "monster-like" appearance, but Hayes can simply change his perspective and praise their skills!

By simply adding the word "beautiful" between the lines, even if Grace was unhappy with what he said, at least she wouldn't be angered.

"Heh, trying to test my strength?"

Grace sneered, "Save your breath, your whole class isn't enough for me to beat up!"

"Fortunately, I'm not a difficult professor. As long as you attend class properly and don't make me angry, everything will be fine..."

Hayes was struck by a thought and silently remembered those words.

As she finished speaking, Grace, carrying the three of them, happened to stop at the classroom door.

The classroom was slightly different from when the three of them left; a faint layer of dark demonic energy enveloped the entire classroom.

Not only could you not see the students inside through the window, you couldn't hear a sound either.

It was as if they were two worlds completely separated by this demonic energy.

If the students in Class One could catch a glimpse of Grace's appearance through the window beforehand, perhaps they could remain somewhat calm.

Unfortunately, the secret realm had anticipated this and blocked their shortcut.

Standing at the classroom door, Grace's previous elegance and composure vanished, replaced by an anxiety and fear that was immediately apparent.

She manipulated her magic hand to pull out a full-length mirror from somewhere, constantly adjusting the folds of her dress while whispering a question to Linda.

"Good child, please help me check if there's anything wrong."

Linda opened her mouth to offer some compliments, but was quickly interrupted by Hayes!

With just one sentence, he made Linda and Gentry's hearts leap into their throats.

"Yes, there's a problem! A very big problem!"

Grace: ? ? ?

Linda: !!

Gentry: hiccup...

Dude, are you alright? If you're looking to die, don't drag us down with you!

Feeling Linda's puzzled gaze, Hayes looked fearlessly at Grace, whose face was ashen, and said solemnly.

"Your attire today is completely unworthy of your outstanding appearance and elegant demeanor!"

Grace: !!

"Really? I knew something was off when I looked in the mirror before leaving the house today!"

Grace looked at her dress nervously and said anxiously, "Quick, tell me what's wrong!"

"I need to hurry back and change while there's still time!"

Linda was shocked. Could this really be possible?

Hayes, however, seemed to have expected this. He scrutinized Grace for a long time before frowning.

"Look, your dress and high heels are red, even your hair is red..."

"That makes people feel that you're very ordinary and lack any excitement when they first see you!"

"You should go back and change your clothes, choose a different color to contrast with red! That would be more eye-catching and create a more layered look!"

Hayes's tone was unmistakably authoritative, as if he were truly a master of art and aesthetics!

However, to his surprise, Grace was not satisfied with this and instead urged him to say more.

"Anything else? All you need to do is change your clothes? Give me a more specific plan!"

Hayes was stunned. More specific? But that's all he could come up with!

Fortunately, Gentry, who had been hiccuping, finally caught his breath.

He picked up where Hayes left off, looking at Grace as he spoke.

"Jewelry! You're not wearing any jewelry!"

Upon hearing this, Grace was struck dumb, as if some program within her had been triggered!

She rushed to Gentry like a madwoman and grabbed him in her hand.

"Keep going, keep going!"

Grace's eyes were bloodshot and her voice was hoarse. The demonic hand behind her was dancing wildly, clearly having been hit where it hurt by the word "jewelry"!

Gentry was terrified, closed his eyes, and dared not look at her, but his mouth trembled as he spoke rapidly.

"Rings, earrings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, hats, veils..."

"You didn't wear any of these, of course it feels wrong!"

The demonic hand suddenly loosened its grip, and the three unsuspecting people fell to the ground.

They watched in astonishment as Grace, like a wild horse, charged headlong into the darkness of the corridor!

By the time the three realized what was happening, the other person had already disappeared. All they heard was an extremely impatient sentence that slammed into their ears.

"You all go back to the classroom and sit down. I'll be back to teach soon!"

At the same time, the school's public address system suddenly started broadcasting again.

It was still Fisher's voice, but this time there was a hint of human helplessness in it.

"Class rescheduling notice: The alchemy class in Class 1 will be delayed..."

"As before, the alchemy class in Class 1 will be delayed..."

They've changed the rules of the secret realm once again!

The terrifying, hollow broadcast echoed throughout the academy, but Hayes immediately looked at Linda and Gentry and said seriously.

"I don't know how long 'soon' she's talking about; right now, we only have one thing to do..."

"That way, the whole class can see the monster without being so terrified they'll vomit!"
