Chapter 26: Dekan Presented The Flower of Hope To Him
Baron Bacher's eyes turned bloodshot, as if tears of blood were about to overflow.
"Ah!!!"
He rushed towards that tiny figure like a madman.
And Dekan's doll also started running with its short legs.
Just when Baron Bacher was about to catch it, it pushed open the door of a classroom and darted inside.
Baron Bacher, without caring for anything else, followed closely and crashed into that classroom.
Then, like a crazed tiger bursting into a sheepfold, the classroom erupted in screams intertwined with blood and fear.
Dekan and Cornelia, hiding in a distant corner on the other side of the corridor, peered out.
"Don't you need that card anymore?" Cornelia asked.
The summoning creature that had just lured Baron Bacher into the classroom was Dekan's.
When a summoning creature is defeated, it cannot be turned back into a card if its user is not nearby.
If the doll that lured Baron Bacher away were to be destroyed, Baron Bacher, driven mad, would destroy the card.
"It's okay. The production cost of Captain Duurkan isn't high; I can mass-produce it," Dekan explained, shaking the two identical cards he still had in his hand.
Captain Duurkan
Category: Summoning Card
[Grade: Blue Uncommon]
[Tier: 1]
[Attack: 0]
[Life: 100]
[Effect: A summoning creature created in Dekan's cute style, with strong single-target taunting ability, and it inflicts a "Confusion" status on the taunted target. The longer the target's hatred towards Dekan, the longer the taunting duration.]
[Note: "Captain Duurkan, on a mission to sacrifice himself!"]
Captain Duurkan's typical expression
One of Dekan's life saving cards.
Low cost, good effect.
Sometimes, when enemies are pushed to their limits, Captain Duurkan can lead them to self-destruction.
Dekan's plan is to heal Baron Bacher in the infirmary, drive him crazy, and if lucky, even have Baron Bacher strengthen himself.
Then, use Captain Duurkan to lure Baron Bacher into blowing up a room.
Once Baron Bacher has taken care of the faculty in the classroom, Dekan can easily clear that classroom!
Get exploration points effortlessly!
"So, Cornelia, after Baron Bacher clears a few classrooms, we'll go and increase our exploration points. That should be enough for our contribution. If we can also gather crucial information about the BOSS along the way, we'll take care of her. Otherwise, it's better not to take unnecessary risks," Dekan explained their next plan to Cornelia.
It's already class time, but they are strolling in the corridor as if it's a leisurely walk.
Dekan feels a bit idle.
He finds Baron Bacher too slow in clearing the classroom.
It's been almost ten minutes, and Baron Bacher still hasn't finished off that classroom.
"Alright, I'll follow your lead," Cornelia said with a cheerful nod.
Whether it's a fight or some fun activity ahead, she doesn't mind.
"Now that we have the cooking classroom as a safe haven, once we deal with the principal, we can do whatever we want in this school," Dekan said.
"I'm starting to feel like I don't want to go back to Hevenlit Magic Academy," Cornelia couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, by the way, Cornelia," suddenly, Dekan remembered something and said very seriously, "Actually, in the information Baron Bacher gave me, there's a place I'm really interested in."
"What is it?" Hearing him say that, Cornelia's expression also became slightly serious.
"In the principal's office... there's a swimming pool!"
"A swimming pool...? Do you want to go swimming?"
"Of course! No student can resist swimming in the principal's office, it's super cool, right?"
"..."
Cornelia fell silent.
But after thinking about it, she seemed to be quite excited.
Cornelia: "Take me there."
Dekan: "Alright!"
...
"By the way, do you think that's the principal?"
"It seems like it."
Just as Dekan and Cornelia were chatting and laughing in the hallway, they finally ran into the legendary principal.
It seemed that because of the commotion caused by Baron Bacher nearby, the principal was drawn to the vicinity.
Of course, this duo of truants was too audacious, and the principal would have a hard time not noticing them.
They strolled in the corridor as if it were their own home.
Without hesitation, the principal rushed toward them, ready to apprehend them.
However, the two of them, a boy and a girl, showed no signs of panic and had no intention of fleeing.
They calmly handed over a red pass to the principal.
"Here, take it."
Dekan and Cornelia didn't even bother to look at the principal, stuffing the demon pass into his hand and continuing their conversation.
As they brushed past the principal, Dekan even patted the principal's shoulder.
The principal: "..."
He had seen unruly students before, but he had never seen anyone this audacious.
But according to the rules, he couldn't attack these two students again within the next half-hour.
The principal stood there for a while, deeply frustrated.
When had he become so unfeared by the students?
...
"It seems quiet now."
Cornelia crouched against the wall, her ear pressed to it, trying to assess the situation inside the classroom nearby.
Dekan nodded and summoned the second Captain Duurkan.
He controlled Captain Duurkan to trot to the doorway of the classroom, push the door open, and bounce inside, waving its hands.
Then Captain Duurkan turned and ran straight into another nearby room.
Soon, the entire corridor erupted as if something had happened.
Baron Bacher charged out again, following Captain Duurkan into the room.
However, this time, Dekan could tell that Baron Bacher had taken some significant damage.
"Darn it! Baron Bacher, you can't go down yet!"
Dekan shouted from a distance as he watched Baron Bacher charge into the classroom.
Baron Bacher still had some fight left in him.
He could still squeeze some remaining value out of Baron Bacher.
...
After about twenty minutes, it should be over. There was no more commotion.
Cornelia, still in her crouched position against the wall, declared, "It seems like it's over."
It appeared that Baron Bacher's combat effectiveness had significantly decreased, and the battle was taking longer.
Dekan summoned the last Captain Duurkan and ordered it to run to the door of the previous classroom, dance and wave its hands.
Then it turned and rushed into another classroom nearby.
As expected, Baron Bacher, even though he was in tattered condition, roared and followed Captain Duurkan into the classroom.
"Baron Bacher."
"Your destination doesn't matter; just keep moving forward. As long as you don't stop, the path lies ahead."
"Baron, I won't stop. As long as you keep moving forward, I'll be waiting for you ahead. So, don't stop!"
Dekan watched Baron Bacher's disappearing figure from afar, whispering as if bidding farewell to an old friend.
...
This time, when Baron Bacher charged into the classroom, he didn't come out for a long time.
Instead, some surviving demon students crawled out of the classroom, their bodies battered.
It seemed that Baron Bacher had burned out.
He had fought the teachers in the classroom, and both sides were heavily wounded.
It was time to reap the rewards.
"Cornelia, let's get to work!"
"Alright!"
Cornelia pulled out another spare sledgehammer and, with Dekan in the lead, they both charged into the classroom.
The agonized cries of the surviving demons once again filled the air...
