Lan Qi's words seemed to have violated some taboo, and students in the front row gradually turned their heads, silently looking at Lan Qi.

"Is there any evidence?"

Although it was just Lan Qi's soft murmur, it was heard with unusual sensitivity.

People who question such evidentiary images tend to be somewhat anti-war, which is not allowed to be voiced at this current juncture.

Gloria looked at this arrogant Hegemon Saint and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

In this classroom, he had no status. Other students would not consider his position like her, a Resurgence believer who knew the inside story.

Although the Nihility Saint had reached the pinnacle of the academy through his own strength at the Royal Protos Academy, he had always used his own absolute suppression to prevent others from provoking him, never using the identity of the Nihility Saint to scare people.

And clearly, this Hegemon Saint did not currently possess such deterrence.

"Those guys lack the self-madness of burning lives for the sake of desire, and are more like demons disguised and driven by external forces. They have no true demonic faith, and such demons cannot be selected as members of the Demon King Army's special killing force."

Lan Qi was quite at ease, as if he were listening to a public lecture in the back row.

Facing the gazes and questions, he remained unmoved, answering questions like an outsider.

Throughout the Southern Continent, he was also a highly authoritative demon educator, and his hypothesis was not impossible. After all, during the Blood Moon Calamity era, the Horning Empire's experimental field also developed technology to transform humans into demons to infiltrate the Demon Realm.

There didn't seem to be an atmosphere of academic discussion in this classroom.

More than anything, it was filled with an ideology and emotion. Hearing Lan Qi's words, many people seemed to be ignited by sparks.

"What do you know about demons? Do you think you can overturn the conclusions reached by existing demon researchers with just your delusions?"

"The demons you see now are all domesticated fake demons, and have long lost their ferocity. Pure-blooded demons cannot be understood by your shallow imagination. You should learn about the real demons during the Holy War a hundred years ago."

"Our Protos Empire has always had the most advanced detection technology. If they were disguised demons, wouldn't they be detected? You are questioning the magic and institutional perfection accumulated by the entire Protos Empire over the past century. I suggest you read more books before you speak."

"Why are you all getting so worked up? Whether what he said is right or wrong, it's just a hypothesis. Are we not even allowed to make hypotheses?"

The back row quickly became the target of public criticism. There were also people speaking up for Lan Qi, or rather, there were already two attitudes in this classroom. As long as someone took the lead, it would cause the current situation.

"Everyone, there's no need to argue about these things in class. There's Demon Research Studies on the monthly assessment day. You can all compete and determine right and wrong on the assessment."

Sidor, behind the podium, covered his head, seemingly tormented enough by the current situation.

"Teacher Sidor, your position makes me very uncomfortable."

A blonde aristocratic girl sneered and said to Sidor in an arrogant manner.

At this time, trying to smooth things over was undoubtedly helping the weaker side in terms of results.

Or rather, compared to the right wing who advocated war and rejected demons, the conservative left wing had no position or right to speak.

"Student Amphise, I just feel that as a scholar, I need to look at and analyze things objectively, rather than interpreting them based on my subjective feelings."

Sidor sighed and spread his hands helplessly.

But it was useless. The classroom became more and more chaotic.

Some older students in the classroom simply didn't take Associate Professor Sidor seriously.

This was just an elective course for earning credits, and Sidor himself was not a strong person. His combat ability was terrible.

"Students, demons at least know how to abide by classroom discipline. You keep saying that you look down on demons, but even your basic student qualities are far inferior to demons. Are you perhaps a little too self-righteous?"

Lan Qi's voice was very calm.

In the constantly fluctuating noise, it was as stable as ripples on the water. But even if his words were few, they once again attracted the hostile and angry gazes of many students because of their content.

"You, a dog raised by demons, are worthy to speak?"

The blonde, curly-haired aristocratic lady narrowed her eyes and questioned Lan Qi impolitely.

It seemed that the other party had long seen that he was Zestiria's servant.

"A servant of the demons?"

"No wonder."

The classroom suddenly became even more chaotic. Lan Qi seemed to have activated a group taunt skill, attracting all the firepower.

Gloria's direct subordinates, sitting not far away, frowned slightly.

This blonde aristocratic lady, who harbored particular malice towards Lan Qi, was named Amphise Kampeltert, and came from the extremely wealthy Kampeltert family. She was also considered to have good strength among the sophomores.

But the rule in this school was precisely that the stronger you are, the greater your power.

If Lan Qi had the terrifying strength of the former Hegemon Saintess, he would naturally scare Amphise so much that she wouldn't dare say a word.

Gloria still didn't understand why the Hegemon Church would choose a weakling.

"You're already problematic just for being a servant of the demons, and with these words now, it can completely prove that you have a serious pro-demon tendency!"

The blonde aristocratic lady, Amphise, still didn't intend to let Lan Qi go. Today, she wanted to get rid of that demon's servant, Zestiria.

If Lan Qi dared to refute her a couple more times, she was guaranteed to have a way to pin some kind of crime on this guy.

Wilfordism was indeed very useful, especially for nobles who stood on the side of following the general trend.

Just as the gunpowder was about to reach its critical point, the others thought that Sidor on the podium was already overwhelmed.

Sidor simply sat down, took out a bag of potato chips from his briefcase, and watched them argue while eating.

However, Lan Qi just smiled faintly.

He looked at the other party with a serious expression.

"Student Amphise, is it? I now highly suspect that you are an anti-war faction, trying to stir up disunity within the empire. Do you know what percentage of mixed-race soldiers there are in the current imperial army? At this critical juncture, you are driving the opposition between nobles and mixed races, thereby expanding contradictions and creating internal chaos. What are your intentions? What is the purpose of saying these things? Does your family have any unspeakable connections with the Kingdom of Eisetelan?"

Lan Qi pointed at Amphise and asked, appearing to be a noble character worried about the current situation of the empire.

"..."

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.

"I..."

Amphise's throat trembled, but she seemed to be too parched to speak. Lan Qi's series of questions confused her a bit.

The entire spacious history classroom was silent for a short time, and many students lowered their heads, their faces as black as the bottom of a pot.

Miss Amphise was just trying to pin a label on Lan Qi, but Lan Qi almost put her entire family on the list of informants.

"Wait, isn't he that Locke McCarthy, the ruthless guy who even dared to report the Nihility Branch?"

Someone suddenly realized the problem.

The servant of the demon aristocratic lady in the preparatory class...

There seemed to be only one.

It was the guy who publicly reported the Resurgence Church last week.

This guy was purely unafraid of death, and also a bit weird. Even the Nihility Branch didn't retaliate against him.

The students who had attacked Lan Qi immediately buried their heads deeply, afraid of being noticed by him. No one dared to compare their family's background with the group of terrifying lunatics in the Nihility Branch.

"..."

Looking at the atmosphere in the classroom, which had taken a sharp turn and become harmonious again, Gloria was silent.

Although the way the Hegemon Saint subdued the students of the Royal Protos Academy was very different from that of the Nihility Saint—the Nihility Saint took the student route, while the Hegemon Saint took the principal route.

But in terms of results, he did indeed make the other students afraid to provoke him.

This guy seemed to be a child of the current version.

It was as if Wilford himself had arrived.
