NOVPUBThe thrilling stage in an instant seemed to douse the original ambiance brought on by the performance.
However, this was only the silence within the perspective of Lanci and Hyperion.
Soon, several students on the stage burst out into even more joyous cheers, as if such dramatically tense slaughter was what held their fascination.
The servitors started to move, efficiently cleaning up the stage to its original neat and orderly appearance in just a matter of seconds.
And the MC on the stage, as if nothing had happened, kept his gracious smile and orderly invited the next student to the stage to perform!
A presentation that mixes bloody absurdity seems to be a welcomed performance for the Demon Race.
Even Hyperion, who has half-demon lineage, feels the Demon World of this time is too ridiculous for her to accept.
"So this is what the music of the Demon Race is like..."
Lanci murmured.
He was now only staring at the figures of the four instructors, having a keen sense of attentive learning.
The one sitting on the leftmost chair was a Suit of Ghost Armor entirely painted black, enveloped by a layer of soul fire as thin as a cicada’s wings, seemingly a suit of wisp that can move.
The music instructor beside it was a Slumbering Demon Spirit, the face of its half-incarnated body always closed its eyes, seemingly lost in eternal sleep.
The third one was covered in poisonous talisman patterns, just like a forbidden experiment that was mystical and dangerous.
The last one was like being sculpted from a vast snowy mountain, with snow-like skin and fluffy hair covering his body, exuding an aura of frost.
Lanci remembers that the handbook mentioned these four music instructors are respectively called Ghost Armor, Slumbering Demon Spirit, Mutated Toxic Body, and Snow Demon.
They themselves are not adept at fighting and have lower ranks, but they are on the rise in the Music Circle of the Demon World, so they were specially invited as music instructors of Demon Academy, participating in this final assessment as judges.
If it is indeed as the examination guide says, "Each invited music instructor will assess the performance strictly and fairly in the dimension they are proficient in," then there should be some concrete conditions that when met, would lead to the respective instructor’s approval.
...
Coming up.
A full fifty minutes.
Lanci and Hyperion sat in the audience, watched over a dozen performances, and finally determined what those four conditions are.
The Ghost Armor only judged based on the atmosphere at the scene; whether the students’ emotions and shouts were strong enough, that was his only standard for judging.
If the music can cause the Slumbering Demon Spirit to fall asleep, he would virtually approve of it.
Mutated Toxic Body expects a scream level of spiritual attack.
Snow Demon requires extremely exaggerated visual effects in the stage performance.
Above all are the absurd results that Lanci and Hyperion finally concluded.
The music in the Demon World is indeed a bit beyond ordinary compared to the music understood by humans.
Actually, looking at each of these four requirements due to their absurdity, each one of them is still acceptable.
But if a music performance meets at least two of these at the same time-
Then the final performance would be a live hell that humans can hardly bear.
In fact, up to this point, they witnessed that there was a performance in the classroom that received the approval of three instructors!
And that performance.
Its explosive degree has already radiated to the live audience watching the live broadcast.
...
"Aiyah! Aiyah! What kind of music is this!!"
The students watching in front of the giant outdoor screen at Ichrite Academy couldn’t help but cover their ears.
Many students had their faces crumpled into a bunch, tears overflowing from their eyes, their facial muscles contracting strongly, but they were unable to prevent their faces from turning pale.
Their heads felt like they had been hit by a heavy hammer; the paralysis feeling like an electric shock spread from the forehead all the way to the back of their heads.
The sound seemed like it could tear a hole in the air.
Ever since Lanci and Hyperion entered this music classroom, the students in the Jera Memorial Square had also been beaten up for dozens of minutes in front of this giant outdoor screen!
"The ones who cannot pass are still okay."
"But the ’qualified performances’ that can get the approval of two music instructors, each one is a lethal spiritual magic attack!"
"The one who just got the approval of three demon instructors nearly sent me away through the screen!!"
Just letting the Demon Sound sweep over the eardrums like raging waves was like being forced to swallow concentrated pickle water infused with Death God chili while pinching one’s nose.
"Please don’t have another performance accepted by 3 instructors, I can’t stand this overly avant-garde art."
"Would there be a situation where all 4 instructors approve at the same time...?"
A student worriedly asked.
He remembered that the guidebook that Lanci and Hyperion had read earlier did not mention any rewards for a performance that received the approval of all four music instructors.
"Impossible. There are actually somewhat conflicting conditions among these four instructors, at most one can achieve is three, it’s absolutely impossible to satisfy all four of them at the same time."
"If there truly is a fully approved level performance, let’s not talk about the demons in the classroom, we would probably have a few on our side that would collapse."
Upon discussing this, the students at Ichrite Academy also confirmed why this music classroom is rated a difficulty of 2.
The challenger must utilize very nasty Music Rhythm Magic, Spiritual Magic, Illusions on the stage, and etcetera - magic that can be combined with music to possibly meet the demands of at least two of the four instructors, to get the reward of 2 Credit Coins!
And if one possesses an extraordinary Spell Repertoire and musical performance level that can simultaneously satisfy three of the music instructors, not only can one obtain 3 Credit Coins, they would also be rewarded an additional Magical Musical Instrument that can boost the effects of Music Rhythm Magic.
As well as the most tricky part of this classroom is that-
The earlier you perform, the less information and preparation time you get.
Yet, the later you perform, the more your mental state will be tortured by the spiritual attacks brought by these Demon Sounds!
In this grand theater, malicious demon students, the more they discover students in the audience who can’t withstand their music, the more they will increase their performance to torture the weak!
This is a threefold test of judgment, spell repertoire, and endurance.
The live broadcast on the giant outdoor screen showed Hyperion covering her ears and burying her head, her feet constantly stomping the ground as if she couldn’t stand it any longer.
Compared to the students watching the live broadcast, she is experiencing the demon sound on-site in an immersive concert!
Bachel had already fainted from foaming at the mouth.
However,
The heavyweight contestant beside them-
Lanci’s eyes were currently filled with thrilled brilliance, sporadically clapping and cheering for the performing demon students, he seemed to have completely integrated into this class!
