Chapter 67: Ranchi's Painting Classroom

ave been able to believe me calmly. So, the methods may have been a bit harsh. Please forgive me."The silver-armored cleric presented Francis, the Baron, with a nautical chart and an open logbook. He...Chapter 67: Ranchi's Painting Studio

Under Bachelor's guidance, they re-entered the teaching area. {Google Search} They traversed spiraling staircases, surrounded by inky black voids. Gradually, dim lights illuminated their path ahead, and the rotating stairs vanished behind them, replaced by an ancient, stone corridor.

This starting corridor, as if nurturing all of the teaching area, with limestone solidified on the stone wall, showing the marks of time. The reflection of candlelight on the stone wall emits a faint halo, and the air is mixed with the smell of ancient rock and a slight dampness.

Each corridor has its own unique markers, whether it's a carving, a worn spot, or even a piece of specially made metal flooring.

These subtle differences, for Bachelor, were his key to recognizing each corridor.

Lanche and Huberlian followed Bachelor's footsteps, passing through corridors one by one, gradually going deeper into the interior.

Finally, Bachelor came to a halt before a delicate and petite wooden door.

And on the door, three devilish marks were imprinted.

"It is rumored here to be a painting studio, also one of the few art-related ones with difficulty level 3."

Bachelor explained to the two people.

Hearing this, Huberlian instinctively took a step back. She seemed to have suffered some kind of psychic trauma.

Now she finds the art of the demon world more and less a frightening thing.

She still can't forget the music class from last time, which was level 2 difficulty.

However, it just so happened that the magic of rhythm and melody perfectly suited Ranchi's strongest skill, because his signature magical card, [Grand Bard], was a summon of the rhythm and melody type.

And now, this time, they encountered a painting class with a higher level of difficulty.

"Lan Qi... how's your drawing going"

Hubert gazed at him and asked.

Have a general understanding.

Ranch smiled calmly.

"Hmm."

This reassured Huberli.

Though I don't know exactly how confident Lynch is, I believe him.

Next, Lance walked ahead and pushed open the door. Hyberlian followed him into this rather refreshing-looking small classroom.

The classroom space is circular, with walls made of gray-white stone and murals. There's no traditional front or back; instead, all the seats are arranged around a central round table, creating a complete panoramic view.

This design allows teachers to interact with each student more easily, and it also makes it more convenient for students to discuss.

This is also the most normal classroom Lance has seen so far.

Conference: Demonic Art Appreciation

Location: F17 Corridor, Art Gallery & Study Room

On the gray slate wall, clear words were written.

It seems like every wall in this classroom can be used as a whiteboard for teaching.

And the basic rules of this classroom are very clear.

Do not attack other students.

This seminar will be about appreciating the artwork "Yes" or "No," which was created by a professor from the academy.

Professor Mogute, the senior professor, will randomly select a work from the art library.

It is possible that the paintings were created by several art professors at the academy, or they could be works by former graduates. There may be variations in the level of skill displayed in the artwork.

Students need to make distinctions.

When Lance and Huberlyan walked in and sat down, there were only five students in total.

An elderly demon professor stood at one end of the classroom, glanced at his pocket watch in his hand, and felt that class time was almost up.

The Demon Professor silently opened the door behind him, went to the art storeroom and wheeled out a cart full of paintings. Then he selected four from it and hung them on the wall so that all five students could see them clearly.

"I am a senior professor in the Fine Arts Department of this academy. I will first show you some examples, such as these two are works by professors of the Fine Arts Department of the academy, and the other two are student works."

Professor Mogut, the demon, pointed at the painting on the wall and said slowly.

Several students in the classroom immediately turned their attention to the paintings, observing them intently.

Because the paintings have different forms, with oil painting, watercolor, and charcoal drawing within the four works, the contrast is not strong in Huber's view, and she even couldn't see the good or bad of the four paintings at all.

Meanwhile, Ranch, chin resting lightly in his hand, glanced at the four paintings for a moment before giving a slight nod of approval.

The rules are as follows: you get 1 point for a correct answer and lose 1 point for an incorrect answer. Every five minutes without answering a question, you will automatically lose 1 point. If you fall into negative points, the professor will execute you.

"If no one volunteers to answer in the first round, I will randomly select someone to start, and then we'll go around in a clockwise direction. Starting from the second round, you can enter a free-for-all answering mode."

Passing this class requires only that you avoid getting negative points, and the higher your score, the better the rewards. Currently, the highest score is 21.

Professor Mogut gazed at the five students, explaining to them.

Recent students don't seem to be anything special, so breaking records is unlikely.

……

In the Magitech Workshop, bright yellow lights illuminated the cluttered workbench and dazzling array of tools. Despite it being late into the night, several students could still be seen seated in front of a large screen, watching a virtual reality-like immersive broadcast of the Demon Realm's Shadow World.

These students' faces looked tired but happy, their eyes fixed on the screen as if watching a competition.

The special effects of this Demon World Shadow Realm program were truly explosive.

Although they were all given the pained mask by Lanci earlier in the music room, they gradually discovered that Lanci was actually a bit of a wild card. They had never seen such a bizarre and chaotic spirit world before.

"Will a difficulty 3 classroom be scarier than the previous difficulty 2 music classroom"

A master craftsman could not help but feel the same concern as Huberlian.

"Sure, but even if I was tortured, I would still want to see the great love poet. She is so beautiful, I just..."

"Cough! People can't, and shouldn't fall in love with magic cards! You must reread Professor Borao's 'Ethical Guidelines for Cardsmiths'!"

"If you don't understand art appreciation, how do you tell the difference"

The screen magician, having heard the rules, began to discuss them.

However, on the other side of the workbench, a young man sitting on a sofa pointed with his finger.

"In fact, apart from the difference in skill level, the ink and paint on a painting should leave some magical traces. If one possesses an extremely precise magical recognition ability, they can perceive the magical characteristics of the painter. By answering several questions, based on previous answers, one can gradually remember the magical characteristics of several professors at the academy, making it easier to distinguish them afterward."

The real difficulty of this classroom lies in the first few questions at the beginning of the first round. They are undoubtedly the riskiest because there is no information to pave the way, and you can only rely on analyzing the painting skills or taking a gamble.

The youth's words made the sophomores in the front row suddenly enlightened.

"As expected of Lord Enol!"

The second-grader looked back at the young man and gave him a thumbs up.

And the young man on the sofa, it was Elnor, the second prince of Hetton Kingdom, who grinned broadly.

He doesn't look like a nobleman at all, he's just like an ordinary senior.

Vivian didn't she say that this fellow named Lance was good at appreciating paintings Then wouldn't he be right at home in this classroom

The silver-ranked card maker girl still remained by his side, asking Anor.

"No, no, the difficulty is very high. The art style of the Lost Age of Demons is very unfamiliar to us humans. Even if I were to appreciate those four paintings used as examples, I couldn't be 100% certain."

Eleanor's brow furrowed, and she pondered for a moment.

"Then it's up to you to appreciate the next artwork. How high is the success rate of getting it right"

The girl gazed at Aenore's strikingly handsome face, like that of an otherworldly sage, and asked.

>As much as half.

Arnold answered with confidence.

""

The girl was taken aback.

She was thinking, aren't multiple-choice questions at least 50% likely to be guessed correctly

She clenched her fists, biting back her anger.
