Reincarnated in a different world, the main job is the villager, the side job is the devil king

Chapter 198 An unexpected encounter with an unexpected guy

Xia Mi didn't just have a sudden idea to steal the test paper, he came prepared for this trip.

Yesterday, he had already visited the San Carno School. He had a basic understanding of the buildings and facilities in the San Carno School and drew the corresponding map.

The examination paper issuing unit for the [Lucky Exam] at St. Carno School is the Freshman Academic Affairs Office. Before each exam, the examination papers will pass through the hands of the Academic Affairs Director.

As long as you find the office of the academic director, you are basically not far from the exam papers.

The Freshman Academic Affairs Office is a small independent building located behind the teaching building.

Before officially going in, you need to know a little more information.

Xia Mi walked all the way and saw students from San Carno School chatting leisurely on the school road.

Because it was an open day, most of the entire school was open to the public, so Xia Mi's appearance did not surprise the students.

Not long after, two girls in school uniforms looked at Xia Mi's face and struck up a friendly conversation.

Xia Mi replied kindly.

"Hey~ It turns out we were just visiting~"

The two girls sighed in regret.

Xia Mi gossiped about the affairs of the Freshman Academic Affairs Office.

"Hey~ Freshman Academic Affairs Office? Just around the corner, the second floor of that small building is the Office of the Academic Affairs Director~"

"The dean of academic affairs goes to the bathroom every hour. There is a 5-minute interval in between. There is no one in the office. If you want to find the dean of academic affairs, you have to choose the other 55 minutes."

"A lot of the time he is preparing test papers, but don't expect to be able to see the contents of the test papers. He will put them in a special safe in the office~"

"Don't even think about stealing test papers~ That's 100% impossible~ Only the dean of students knows the password to the safe~"

The two girls pointed to the back of the teaching building.

"..."

It feels like I was asked a lot of important information all at once!
The goals that were still somewhat vague suddenly became clear.

Target: Safe in the Dean's Office
Xia Mi said goodbye to the two girls with gratitude, suddenly not daring to move forward rashly.

This easily obtained information might be a cover-up.

But there was no need for two girls who had never met to frame him.

Xia Mi cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

There is no way out now. For the sake of the dragon girl's exam, whether it is true or false, he must give it a try.

The small building of the Academic Affairs Office.

Xia Mi looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, then walked in quietly.

It was noon.

There are almost no people in the small building of the Academic Affairs Office, and most of the staff have left their posts to rest.

In San Carno School, which pays attention to personal privacy, there are only a few surveillance crystals in large public places, which play a necessary monitoring role, and there are eye-catching notice boards indicating the location of the crystals.

This is the school rule of San Carno School: the personal privacy of students must not be sacrificed in the name of protecting student safety.

In the small building of the Academic Affairs Office, Xia Mi observed the corners above the stairs and corridors along the way, but found no monitoring crystal.

Not long after, he arrived at the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs on the second floor.

The door was open and Xia Mi looked inside, but there was no one there.

It is the layout of an ordinary office. The office is divided into two areas, the reception area and the office area.

There is a coffee table and sofa in the reception area, and there is an office in the office area, which should be where the director of the Academic Affairs Office works daily. Next to it are bookshelves for stacking materials, transparent cabinets for displaying teaching tools, and a human skeleton for teaching in the corner.

Xia Mi was the only one at both ends of the corridor.

Xia Mi aimed at the time and slipped into the office.

Every second counts, Xia Mi starts looking for the safe in the office where the exam papers are stored.

Xia Mi found that his whole heart was beating rapidly, faster and faster.

He never had such a high heartbeat rate when fighting against Bitrell.

Sure enough, stealing test papers is more terrifying than a life-and-death battle!

Half of Xia Mi's attention fell outside the door, and the other half focused on what was in front of him.

There are only a few places where safes can be placed.

Xia Mi rummaged quickly and soon found a safe with a combination lock under the office cabinet behind the desk.

Found it, the safe where the exam papers are stored!

Xia Mi felt happy, but soon fell into depression.

Just finding the safe is not enough. He also needs to know the password of the safe, otherwise he will not be able to take out the test papers inside.

Xia Mi looked at the combination lock of the safe in silence.

Maybe you can put the entire safe into the Demon King's Ring, take it back to the hotel, and then return it intact after getting the test papers inside.

But the risk of this method is too high. If the loss of the safe is discovered midway, the test paper will definitely be changed temporarily!
Just when Xia Mi was worried and didn't know what to do, a very clear sound of movement suddenly came from behind.

The source of the sound was not far behind you.

Xia Mi swallowed.

Indeed, it's been going so well so far.

The accident finally came.

Has it been discovered?
Xia Mi's right hand has started to use magic power. As long as there is something slightly wrong, he will immediately open the portal and leave here instantly.

There was a sound of movement behind him, and then silence fell.

Xia Mi stood up slowly and looked back.

The strange thing is that he was the only one in the office from beginning to end.

"Xia, Xia Mi-sama?"

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from the corner.

Xia Mi quickly looked around the corner. The biological human skeleton placed quietly in the corner of the office cabinet slowly turned its skull and looked straight at him with its empty eyes.

After looking at each other for three seconds, a right hand made of bones was raised and waved to him.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Lord Kuugaya! I didn't dare to confirm it at first, until a familiar demonic aura appeared on you."

"Skeleton?!"

Xia Mi stared at the skeleton in front of him with wide eyes.

No wonder after he entered the office, he always felt that this skeleton looked very familiar.

I didn't expect it to be an old friend.

Now, isn't this clean and compact skeleton the same skeleton that left the village and went to the mainland for training?
"Why are you here?"

Xia Mi looked at the skeleton in disbelief.

"I am now the human skeleton specially designed for this office."

The skeleton is serious.

"At first I said I was going out to practice, but it turned out I was looking for a job?"

"No! There are too many twists and turns in it."

The skeleton sighed, turned around, and looked at the alarm clock hanging on the wall.

"Master Xia Mi, I will talk to you slowly when I have time later. Why are you here? Director Rooney is going to have lunch now and will be back in about 10 minutes."

"Rooney?"

"He is the dean of freshmen at San Carno School. He is also the owner of this office."

Skeleton explained.

Xia Mi nodded understandingly and stated his purpose of coming here.

"Oh my god, our power is growing day by day! Have dragons actually joined us? Looking at this formation, could it be that we are going to invade San Carno School? It's a shame that I've been lurking here for so long!"

"It always feels like you were forced to come here because of some irreversible factors."

Xia Mi glanced at the skeleton.

The skeleton still wants to be harsh.

But Xia Mi already laughed.

Since the skeleton has been here for a long time, he must know some important things.

"Skeleton, since you are the human skeleton of this office, you must be familiar with everything here."

"Knowing it like the back of my hand! No one knows this office better than me." Gu Zijia was full of confidence.

Xia Mi pointed to the safe under the office cabinet.

"Then you know what to do, right? I want the test papers for tomorrow's exam. What is the password?"

"Please wait a moment! Let me do it, Master Xia Mi, the hands of the skeleton will not leave any traces."

"No poke, no poke."

Xia Mi’s cautious praise of the skeleton.

"You have made great progress outside these days."

The skeleton came to the office cabinet, squatted down, poked the password screen with his finger, and successfully opened the safe.

In the center of the safe are the papers for tomorrow's exam.

Xia Mi asked the skeleton to pick up the test paper and use the recording crystal to record all the contents on the test paper.

"Wait, why is this only half the question?"

Halfway through the recording, Xia Mi realized something was wrong. The test paper in front of him only had 50-point questions!

What about the remaining 50 points?

"Oh, there are still half of the questions that Director Rooney hasn't finalized yet. He usually only finalizes them one hour before the exam starts."

"This is too random!"

Xia Mi couldn't help but complain.

The skeleton put the test paper back into the safe and tidied up all the messed up things in the office very experiencedly.

"Master Xia Mi, do you still need it? If necessary, I will find a way to contact you when the time comes."

Xia Mi shook her head.

"No, it's too late. The candidates came in one hour before the exam started, and Rooney chose the remaining questions at that time. In other words, one hour before the exam, the question maker didn't know what questions to ask. What is this! Is this the so-called [lucky test]? There are indeed two brushes."

Putting the video crystal in his hand into the Demon King's Ring, Xia Mi had completed his purpose of coming here.

"However, with these 50 points, at least Elze doesn't have to hand in a blank test anyway."

Xia Mi sighed happily.

Anyway, his mission was accomplished.

Leave the rest to luck.

At this time, there was the sound of walking outside the door, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

"Sir Xia Mi, Director Rooney is back! Get back to normal!"

The skeleton quickly returned to the corner, lowered its head, and put its hands on both sides of the body, transforming back into a normal human skeleton.

"Recovery is nothing, now is not the time for toys to be mobilized!"

Xia Mi quickly activated his magic power and planned to use the portal to leave.

But it's too late. It takes a certain amount of time to open and close the portal. Even if you can successfully leave, it will take a certain amount of time for the portal to dissipate.

A portal that hasn't dissipated will definitely arouse suspicion.

Damn it, he actually fell into a dangerous situation at the last moment!
-

Rooney was in a very good mood today. The lunch he had today was very delicious, especially the stone-grilled steak. The steak grilled using volcanic rocks not only tasted delicious, but was also branded with the lines on the volcanic stone slab. It looked like A delicacy from the bottom of a volcano.

This made him suddenly think about what questions would be asked tomorrow.

Let’s test everyone’s knowledge about volcanoes and barbecue.

With this in mind, Rooney walked into his office and found a black-haired boy standing in the reception area in front of the office, looking at the wall.

"you are?"

Rooney looked at this unfamiliar face, and at the same time, the unfamiliar face also looked at him.

Xia Mi saw the owner of this office.

He was a short but burly man with a thick, long brown beard and wild eyebrows.

Xia Mi smiled slightly nervously.

"Hello, are you Director Rooney? I'm here to apply for a specialty teacher——"

Xia Mi looked at the bookshelf beside him with his peripheral vision, and quickly made up a pseudonym for himself through the spines of the books.

"The last name is Edogawa."

The Demon King is not a savage guy who only knows magic. Most of the time, he has to rely on his brains.

In the emergency situation just now, Xia Mi's eyes suddenly saw useful content among the various posters and newspapers hanging on the walls of the office.

【Signboard Announcement】

[San Carno School Recruitment Information]

【…】

San Carno School is recruiting specialty teachers, and the interview takes place in Rooney's office.

Xia Mi immediately grasped this information and turned it into his own use.

It makes perfect sense to use this information to create a legitimate excuse for being there.

"That's it. Sorry, it was lunch time just now. But today is not interview time."

Rooney touched his beard and sat down in the office chair.

"Really? It seems I remembered it wrong."

Xia Mi glanced at the poster with his peripheral vision, and then looked at Rooney, who was no longer defensive.

"Mr. Edogawa looks very young. Since you are here to apply, you must have seen our recruitment content."

Shami nodded.

I already had some understanding on the poster just now.

Rooney looked at Xia Mi.

"Then what are your specialties, Mr. Edogawa?"

Xia Mi was silent.

Specialty?

He's obviously a villager, but secretly he's a demon king, and he's good at resurrecting various monsters. Does that count?

Or if he is good at drawing magic circles, does it count if he can give Magical Girl various ○ tattoos?

But how could such a thing be said?

Nothing about the demons can be exposed.

"Director Rooney, can I become a specialty teacher as long as I have one skill?"

"Yeah. But it still needs to be reviewed by us. Some skills are not applicable in this school."

Rooney smiled.

"If you think clearly, you can wait for the interview time and then come to our school for an interview."

Xia Mi stood up and glanced at Rooney's skeleton looking at him secretly from the corner of his eye.

"Sorry to disturb you today."

"Goodbye."

Xia Mi successfully left the San Carno School.

Inside the office.

Rooney sat quietly in his chair, scanning his office like a scanner.

Although he was willing to believe that the black-haired boy was here for an interview, his professional instinct still made him unable to help but observe his surroundings.

Everything in this office goes into those calm eyes.

All the documents are there, and there are no obvious signs that they have been read.

Rooney then hummed a ditty leisurely.

corner.

The skeleton that had returned to its normal form remained motionless.

In the chat with Xia Mi just now, the skeleton, who knew this office and Rooney well, had already packed all the things to be packed.
