Chapter 28 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess
Chapter 28: It's Up to Ifia to Save the World! When she received her test paper, Ifia felt excited. She took a deep breath, then opened the test paper and carefully reviewed the questions and immediately saw the following: (Daisy's song on the day Prince George was born?) (The prototype of the demon that will destroy the world in Pope Kislin's prophecy?) (What Imperial law was violated by the sacrifice of blood and life in prayer for divine blessings?) (What is the birthday of Professor Spiegel, who teaches theology?) Ifia looked at the test paper in confusion, feeling that the exams at Priss Academy were not serious at all. What about traditional subjects like math, physics, chemistry, and history? Did the test setter forget about them? Although the level of education in the current world was not as advanced as in modern times, the basic knowledge should still be there. There shouldn't be such a wide range of topics on this test paper. This is just off the wall! Ifia sighed to herself, then looked over the test paper again and finally found a proper question from a corner. In an instant, Ifia became alert and wanted to try solving the question first. Maybe she won't even need the system~ Ten minutes later, Ifia frowned as she put down her pen and looked at the blank test paper. She crumpled the paper covered in scribbles and stuffed it into her pocket. She then rested her mushy brain on the table without getting up. She, as a poor student, shouldn't think too much about it. If she doesn't know, she just doesn't know. Even in a different world, it would be the same. After being harshly discouraged, Ifia finally stopped worrying and then directly called on the system for help. [System, it's time for you to show off. Come and help me solve the questions quickly.] [Sure, please listen carefully, Host. The first question! Lady Daisy's song: The Praise of Carloin. The second question! Professor Spiegel's birthday is...] Today, the system was very efficient and did not fail at crucial moments. It looks like, apart from providing substantial help and spoilers, the system is quite dependable. However, Ifia felt that, instead of cheating in exams, she would prefer substantial help...like the system making enemies disappear instantly when she's in danger, or the system producing a box of gold coins when she's short on money. Then she can just lie down and enjoy~ As Ifia spaced out and mechanically copied the answers, she quickly filled half of the test paper and then continued to review the questions while listening to the system quickly providing the correct answers. [The thirteenth question! The prototype of the demon in Pope Kislin's prophecy? It is Ahriman from the Zoroastrian mythology, the great ruler of darkness and death who leads eight great demons to destroy the world.] [Oh, isn't Satan the leader of demons? Could it be that in this world, the names for demons are different?] When the system mentioned theological questions, Ifia couldn't help but chat with the system while she was writing. Whether in modern times or the Middle Ages, gods and demons were always abundant. That's the power of belief... However, Ifia only knew about the Seven Fairies, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and the God of Wealth and didn't know much about Western gods and demons. She had only occasionally read some information about them online. [Satan is just a term referring to the devil in general. Among many demons, the leader is Ahriman. She is cruel, indifferent, and committed numerous evils. Sometimes she takes on human form to approach the kings of various nations, teaching them to indulge in luxury, leading them to corruption, and causing the people to live in misery, enduring constant attacks of war.] [I see, it's enlightening! Alright, next question, please give me the answer!] Ifia wasn't interested in these myths and legends. She felt drowsy listening to them, so she urged the system to quickly answer the questions, causing the system to be deeply helpless. It had intended to take this opportunity to remind her, but Ifia, the fool, unexpectedly skipped it. Did she only care about the test questions??? If Ifia had continued to listen, the system would have revealed a crucial piece of information...one of the demons under Ahriman's leadership in the prophecy is Asmod, the embodiment of lust. Yes, it's that black cat! Despite the system's data indicating that Ahriman's demon of lust is Geh, for some reason, in this world, it became Asmod... However, this world was created by humans, so it's normal for there to be some deviation from the data. Without knowing that she missed a chance to touch the truth, Ifia joyfully filled in the test paper under the guidance of the system, as if "inspired by a god," smooth as silk~ In just twenty minutes, the test paper was completely filled by Ifia. Unable to submit the paper early, Ifia put away her feather pen and then rested her head on the desk, preparing to rest. Since yesterday, to prevent Jessina's "don't leave after school" plan, Ifia hadn't been fully-engaged in her classes. She had to estimate the time to escape and couldn't doze off in class. Unable to nap in the classroom, after returning to the dormitory, she got lost in the novel borrowed from Lucy, and inadvertently forgot about the time. The key was that Lucy's collection of novels was quite voluminous, and finishing them would be a considerable task! So, she must rest well this time, and continue reading when she returns to the dormitory! [Good afternoon, system. See you after the exam.] [...] Seeing her host falling asleep just seconds after bidding her farewell, the system couldn't help but sigh, thinking that sometimes being carefree was also good. At least it wouldn't sigh like it did. Ifia, the naive host, thought that the dwarf noble, Xin Qusen, had been driven away, when in reality, he had been devoured by demons, not even leaving a bone fragment. Not only Xin Qusen, but also his family had been swallowed up together. The system couldn't stop the actions of the demons, and had to be cautious not to be discovered by them. In the past cases of world collapse, there were unfortunate systems that were caught by the villainess and then, by some means, were actually pulled out of the host's soul...just the thought was terrifying! However, watching the demons rampantly, the system worried for its host. Making friends with the villainess was like seeking one's own doom; one never knows when the tables will turn. Unfortunately, the system dared not say it. If it said it, the host would sulk. Unable to move forward or backward, the system sighed once again. Perhaps, fools have some luck...all it could do was take one step at a time and hope its host would be competent. It's up to Ifia to save the world! Meanwhile, Irene, who was taking the exam, looked at the test paper and restrained the urge to smile, but couldn't help tightening her grip on the feather pen. She was extremely excited. She guessed right! Her review was effective, and apart from some particularly obscure questions, she knew all the answers! Surely, she would be the top in her grade this time! Thinking of this, Irene looked at Ifia's seat and saw Ifia putting the test paper aside and resting. She snorted softly, feeling that Ifia's attitude, whether her grades are good or bad, was unacceptable. However, it was because of this that her chances of being the top in the grade had increased. Irene withdrew her gaze from Ifia and silently mocked her in her heart. When the results were announced, she would be able to see Ifia's face showing a look of disbelief and confusion. It would surely be very gratifying.
