Chapter 23: Cornelia Learned Memory Erasure Magic

Inside the cooking classroom:

"Report! I've shouted it a hundred times!" Baron Bacher exclaimed energetically.

"Good, now tell me everything you know about this school," Dekan said as he stood by the window, gazing at the view outside. He had been inspecting the cooking classroom moments ago.

He had noticed that outside the window was an abyss with no visible bottom. The entire school seemed to be a small island suspended over a hellish abyss. It appeared they couldn't escape beyond the school's boundaries.

"What kind of information are you looking for?" Baron Bacher asked hesitantly, fearing that he might anger Dekan by rambling.

Dekan walked over to Cornelia, who was still pinning Baron Bacher down. He took out the red demon pass from Cornelia's pocket and waved it in front of Baron Bacher.

"What's this for?" Dekan asked.

"It's a Demon Pass, a reward given to outstanding students by the teachers. With this, even if you encounter the headmaster in the hallway during class time, you can hand it over to him and be spared from an attack, and he won't attack you for half an hour," Baron Bacher replied.

"Do you have a Demon Pass?" Dekan inquired.

"I have one," Baron Bacher replied.

"Where is it?"

"In the pocket of my jacket."

"Alright, I see," Dekan said. He had no intention of letting go of Baron Bacher right now to retrieve the pass. Even though Dekan had already subdued him, this kind of spineless demon couldn't be trusted too much. Dekan's body was quite fragile, and given the chance, Baron Bacher could kill him. Although Dekan had already put on the Crown of Thorns, he still feared pain.

"Next, tell me about the location of every facility in this school, as well as the characteristics of the teachers you know," Dekan instructed.

Baron Bacher hesitated for a moment and then answered, "I don't know much about the other teachers because the teachers in this school change frequently."

It seemed that the teacher mortality rate in this school was quite high.

"Who is the strongest teacher in the school?" Dekan asked.

"Without a doubt, it's the headmaster, but the headmaster may not always be in the school. He only appears at the school at certain random times, so there could be cases where the teachers don't follow the rules because they know he won't catch them. The headmaster only hunts down teachers who break the rules," Baron Bacher explained.

"Piece of cake," Cornelia replied. She didn't even feel tired as long as she didn't have to use her brain; she considered it a leisure activity.

"Lastly, I'll need you to help him forget," Dekan told Cornelia.

"How do you make a demon forget?" Cornelia asked, a bit puzzled. She had never studied mental or soul magic.

Dekan smiled without answering, and in Baron Bacher's terrified gaze, summoned the Ruined Poet.

Cornelia frowned slightly, deep in thought. She blinked, seeming to suddenly realize something.

Then, without hesitation, Cornelia gripped the handle of her hammer and swung it down on Baron Bacher's head.

"Boom!"

The entire classroom made a deafening sound, as if the ground was about to collapse. Baron Bacher's head was embedded in the ground, and cracks spread out from the impact point like a spiderweb.

This blow didn't explode Baron Bacher's head, but it did break her hammer. The entire handle bent, turning it into an unusable card.

Cornelia placed her foot on Baron Bacher, flipped him over. His eyes rolled back, and he completely passed out.

"Do you think he's still alive?" Dekan asked.

"Yes, he's just unconscious," Cornelia replied. She could still feel Baron Bacher's breathing. This demon, at least Tier 5, had a sturdy body and strong vitality. However, after receiving Cornelia's full-force blow to the head, combined with twenty times the pain, even if he didn't forget, he would likely be in a daze.

"Very well, let's take a break," Dekan sighed, raising his palm with a light pat.

Baron Bacher still had his uses, so they couldn't let him go just yet.

"What's next?" Cornelia asked, not paying any more attention to Baron Bacher on the ground.

Dekan checked the time. It had been approximately two hours and four minutes since they entered the instance dungeon. There were still twenty-six minutes until the next class bell rang.

"Let's rest for half an hour, and you should eat something too," Dekan said to Cornelia.

They didn't need to go on another adventure right now, and they certainly needed some rest. After all, experiencing life still required a balance between work and relaxation.
