"To be honest, I never expected that there would be a dangerous individual among your students who could be described as a human killer... How should I put it... her grades are already better than the second and third place combined."

So everyone must pay close attention to what follows, as this is the most dangerous criminal method.

Congratulations to Melody for achieving first place in this test!

It really is Melody!

Valensa and Thousand Leaf Grass exchanged another glance before looking together at the magical projection at the front of the classroom, where a clear scene had already appeared.

It was the same familiar virtual city and streets, only this time it was much more lively... Over a thousand adult men were gathering, each breathing heavily and looking excited.

Surrounded in the middle of the street, what excited the men so much was none other than the stunningly beautiful Melody, who had a hot body and was wearing a white bodysuit studded with diamonds.

It is the alluring power of a dazzling sword dance.

Valensa, who was already quite familiar with Melody, was no stranger to this power.

Those with firm resolve and those without desires are not afraid of this power, but those with weak wills who are greedy and lustful are no different from the monkeys who once died by her sword in front of Melody.

Could it be... that Melody managed to bewitch all the men in the city and send them to their deaths?

That shouldn't be the case... The Shining Sword Dance is indeed powerful, but it consumes a lot of energy, and ordinary people's vision is ultimately limited. Melody can't seduce many people at once.

Even if she danced non-stop for three days like Ryan, theoretically the damage she could cause shouldn't be much greater than that of Valensa and Thousand Leaf Grass.

With this question in mind, Valensa continued watching.

Soon, she opened her mouth slightly, realizing the truth and gaining a new understanding of the terrifying power of Melody's allure.

After a dazzling and magnificent sword dance in the street, the men were naturally captivated by Melody's fiery charm and dazzling jewelry.

Unlike the previous time when a group of monkeys ran headlong into the swords to their deaths, this time the men didn't move; they just stood there panting, their eyes bloodshot.

"Everyone~~"

Valensa maintained a pose that best showcased her figure, with a sweet smile:

"Want to dance with me? Like a passionate, intimate dance at night~~"

"……think!"

After a brief silence, came a resounding, unified response.

"very good."

Melody's forehead was slightly sweaty, but her smile became even sweeter and more alluring:

"Then fight for me, my warriors... Whoever can defeat the most enemies will gain the glory of dancing with me!"

In an instant, the thousands of men who had gathered because of their lust for beauty became Melody's army.

They picked up anything they could use as a weapon and began indiscriminately attacking the city, undeterred by pain or death.

While the police who rushed to the scene were engaged in a fierce battle with the rioters, Melody had already secretly slipped away to another street with a larger flow of people. It was the same lines and poses, one more time.

In this way, relying on her unique seductive skills, Melody turned nearly a third of the city's young and middle-aged men into crazed thugs.

In just one day, the city of Melody was engulfed in flames, with thugs controlled by the power of charm attacking indiscriminately.

Without a strong leader to maintain order, and with the garrison and city defense forces outnumbered, the entire city was nearly destroyed in the riots.

Except for a few clever individuals who managed to escape the city, almost all residents, regardless of age or social status, perished at the hands of the frenzied mob.

On the evening of the third day, the last thug, covered in blood, approached Melody and asked to dance, only to be pierced through the heart by Melody's expressionless sword...

terrible!

The way the students in the classroom looked at Melody suddenly became even stranger than when they saw Valensa bullying men and women in the street.

Chapter 164 The more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying

"Don't look at her like that, she's not a scary person~~"

Under the watchful eyes of her classmates, Melody smiled shyly, her face radiant.

No, no, no... It's terrifying, okay? Even Mr. Hugh said you're a human killer.

Although none of the students spoke out in rebuttal, their eyes basically conveyed the same meaning.

"They're really not scary!"

Melody's eyes sparkled, and she emphasized coquettishly:

"The reason they were able to get first place in this test is simply because there were no experts in that virtual city."

If there were even one truly powerful character, I doubt they'd even make the top five. Their dazzling sword dance only seduce ordinary people; it's useless against powerful cultivators!

You've all practiced with me plenty of times in real combat classes and experienced my dazzling sword dance, right? It's not scary at all, is it?

This... seems to actually be true?

The students' strange gazes subsided considerably after that.

Liar! It's true what they say, the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie!

Valensa, on the other hand, was inwardly fuming.

She clearly remembered that in the second round of the admissions assessment, a certain beastly teacher with peak Lighthouse-level strength dared to fight Melody only after being blindfolded.

Those with strong willpower are indeed not afraid of the Shining Sword Dance, but being seductive has nothing to do with strength... If you think that being strong means you can be immune to charm, you'll be in big trouble if you really anger Melody.

In any case, Valensa wouldn't dare to easily anger Melody.

"Cough cough."

After allowing the students to exchange ideas briefly, Hugh deliberately coughed to take back control of the conversation:

"Everyone must have seen what Melody did in the illusionary city, right? Criminals who can control people's minds are the most dangerous of all criminals."

Even the overall ranking of this test results can prove this point from another angle.

The fifth-ranked Ryan's sword saint technique, the fourth-ranked Heleman's great fire, and the third-ranked Chiba Grass's water poisoning are all essentially aimed at the body of a living being, only the methods are different.

The top student simply exploited human weaknesses to incite conflict and still came in second.

Melody, who can completely control people's hearts with her charm... even if it's just a portion of them, truly deserves to be number one.

"Merudy's charm magic is really powerful~~"

Thousand-leaf clover raised her little hand again to express her different opinion:

"But as she herself said, the main reason she was able to succeed this time was because there weren't any decent experts in the city, right?"

"..."

Hugh didn't answer immediately, but remained silent for a while with a complicated expression before smiling wryly:

"You don't really think that just because you're strong, you can be fearless of someone like Melody who can control people's hearts, do you?"

Putting aside the fact that resisting allure primarily requires willpower, even if each of you were truly immune to the allure of your enemies, you must never underestimate those with similar abilities… because the reason humanity has become the strongest intelligent life form on the continent is precisely because of its community and unity.”

“Ummmmmm…”

Although Chiba didn't refute, she still puffed out her cheeks, clearly not yet convinced.

There were quite a few other classmates in the classroom who shared the same views and doubts as her.

"It seems you guys really haven't experienced this before..."

Seeing these circumstances, Hugh felt somewhat helpless. He hesitated in silence for a long while before finally making up his mind:

"In that case, I'll tell you another personal experience of mine... According to the regulations, I should keep this a secret, but you will all become official elite soldiers sooner or later, so I don't think it will be a big problem."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they perked up.

In these few days of brief interaction, the students have already discovered that Hugh, this new teacher, may still have many shortcomings, but his professional career is truly rich, his storytelling skills are excellent, and the personal experiences he shared before were all very interesting.

"That happened shortly after I became a full-fledged elite soldier..."

He paused, his eyes slightly unfocused, and began to recall:

"At that time, I and three other scouts were stationed in a relatively remote town in the kingdom. The four of us took turns guarding the city in secret and eliminating some threats in advance."

I am the youngest of the four people in the team and need to gain experience, so the team leader arranged my shift to be late at night.

That night, as usual, I was patrolling around the city when I suddenly heard members of the guard team stationed at the north gate arguing with someone.

Upon investigation, it turned out that the incident stemmed from a listless and injured young man who wanted to enter the city but had no identification, making him appear highly suspicious.

As you probably know, many cities in the kingdom prohibit entry and exit at night for security reasons, and individuals with special needs must have relevant orders and identification documents... According to regulations, the guards should not have allowed that boy into the city, and could even have arrested him on the grounds of suspicious behavior.

But the boy was very stubborn. He insisted on entering the city immediately, saying that he had something important to report to the Holy Knights at the Church of the Sun.

Since the matter involved the Church of the Sun, the guards hesitated to make a decision and were locked in a standoff with the boy at the city gate, seemingly trying to find out what the boy wanted to report before making a decision.

The boy seemed to distrust the guards, insisting on not speaking until he entered the church, which escalated the argument and even alerted me.

I was young back then, and I was the kind of person who wanted to show off and make a name for myself.

Realizing this might be an opportunity, I stepped in and negotiated with the security team, and personally took the boy to the Church of the Sun.

We were greeted by a very gentle and beautiful paladin lady. If it weren't for... I probably would have pursued her relentlessly. That was the first time I experienced love at first sight.

"..."

Perhaps he was truly impressed by that paladin lady, for Hugh remained silent for a long time after saying this, even wiping his eyes, which seemed to be glistening with tears, before continuing the story:

"Under the paladin lady's affability, the boy quickly spoke up... He claimed to be from a remote village about 40 kilometers away from the town, where the villagers were suspected of being controlled by a cult."

The boy was originally a migrant worker in the city. When he returned to his hometown to visit relatives during the holidays, he discovered something was wrong. He had even lost his bag and identification documents, so he ran back to the city overnight.

Matters involving cults are no small matter, and none of us dared to be careless. The Holy Knight even asked another priest to use a lie detector on the boy.

The divine magic proved that the boy was not lying, and also that the boy was somewhat mentally unstable at the time... In addition, the boy himself was not sure, so the information about the cult he mentioned might not be true.

After a brief discussion, I decided to go with the paladin lady to the village the boy had mentioned to gather information.

Chapter 165 The Strange Villagers

"Mr. Hugh, you didn't just go straight into the village back then, did you?"

Valensa chimed in curiously.

"How could that be? Although I was young and inexperienced at the time, I was still the top student in my grade before graduation. How could I make such a basic mistake?"

Hugh glared at Valensa, annoyed, and continued his story:

"We definitely made thorough preparations before entering the village."

I ambushed several lone gatherers around the village and interrogated them, while the Paladin also used her divine magic to sense their malice.

Well, the villagers were a bit strange, but they meant no harm. They were just ordinary, simple farmers, not at all like cult members.

So the paladin and I lowered our guard a bit and didn't do any more investigation. Instead, we went straight into the village to inquire about the boy.

At first, everything was normal... It's a small mountain village, so there's rarely a chance to see a beautiful paladin lady or a handsome soldier like me. Everyone was very welcoming to us, not only actively answering our questions but also slaughtering chickens and ducks to treat us."

"So the food you ate was poisoned?"

Even Chiba couldn't help but chime in:

"Is it still similar to the poison I used on Cao Cao? Is it immune to low- to mid-level divine spells?"

"No, those are just ordinary country dishes."

Hugh shook his head:

"The paladin and I enjoyed the meal very much... There were even a few moments when I felt like I wasn't doing a quest, but on a trip and date with my sweetheart."

"Tch... Men, they really do mess things up when they see a beautiful woman."

Valensa looked at Hugh with disdain:

"And then what? Mr. Hugh, did you manage to win over that paladin lady?"

"..."

As a result, Hugh fell silent again, his tone exceptionally sorrowful:

"I'm actually quite confident in myself... but I've forever lost the chance to pursue her."

Even after I had come to believe in the villagers' goodwill, she never let her guard down, constantly using various rhetoric to extract information from them and carefully observing everything in the village.

Just when I thought the mission was over and I could leave the village and return to the city, she suddenly discovered clues about a cult in the arrangement of a villager's courtyard... It was a simple sacrificial ritual that used life and flesh to exchange for dark power.
