Chapter 3: Murderous Puppets

"Let me see what you're up to, keep up."

Staring at Cangzhen with rather sharp eyes, the bespectacled lady pushed open the door and went out.

Obviously, she wants to take Cangzhen to the so-called entrance exam.

It seems that the role of that recommendation letter is so much, and whether or not you can enter this college depends on your personal strength after all.

It's fantastic.

"I'm sure I'll be satisfied."

Cangzhen replied confidently.

Immediately behind the woman, Cang Zhen almost crossed the entire academy under the woman's leadership.

According to what Cang Zhen saw along the way, this famous highest school in the wizarding world is simply a fortress, and even a prison to say ugly.

Oh, an inexplicable sense of immediacy came up, which was unusually similar to the prison enchantment of the previous world. You'll love it that month.

In front of the college stands a palace reminiscent of Buckingham Palace, a majestic auditorium. The brick walls are about 5 meters long, and the stone gate has gun muzzles embedded in it. The muzzle of the gun is not used to defend against foreign enemies, but to stop the fugitives.

The country's law states that students and all of their automaton are not allowed to enter the city until they graduate.

It's not a prison, it's better than the rules of a prison, so Cang Zhen really doesn't know what to say.

Is the psychological quality of the people here tenacious to explode?

Living in such an environment every day, there is no guarantee that Cangzhen will not do something irrational.

"You can call me Professor Kimberly. Only my classroom has slots, so, if you can pass the test, you're my student. ”

On the way to the test site, Kimberly introduces herself to Cang Zhen.

From a purely personal point of view, she was still satisfied with the freshman, provided that he could pass her test.

Of course, that's not the same thing for any gifted puppeteer.

After all, the purpose of the college is only to select outstanding students, not to make things difficult for others.

"So, before the test, don't you introduce your puppet? I don't seem to see your puppet. ”

Pushing the glasses on the bridge of her nose, Kimberly reminded.

"Don't worry, I'll take it, you'll see. It's just that, instead of listening to those pale introductions, how about witnessing with your eyes? ”

"I hope your technique is as good as your mouth, otherwise I won't let you through!"

Since Cang Zhen didn't want to say more, Kimberly didn't ask again, anyway, she would be able to see it later.

With her identity, what kind of rare dolls have she never seen, and she has seen a lot of taboo dolls.

Soon, they went to a very empty place.

"Is that it? I thought it would be something like a testing ground. ”

Cangzhen's original intention was to say that he would also lay a floor tile or something, but considering that there was no need to make trouble for himself, he didn't say it directly.

"It's enough here, it's spacious, isn't it? You don't need to fight, you just show off your manipulation skills. ”

Of course, in such a spacious place, even those large dolls can perform a tap dance without worrying about breaking anything.

"Summon, 32, 60, Murder Puppet, Thunder Puppet."

With the call of the Truth, two poorly made dolls appeared in an instant.

"Are you vintage?"

With current doll technology, it is enough to make a doll that looks exactly like a human, but the naïve doll is as rough and rudimentary as a children's toy in the 90s, no wonder Kimberly complains so much.

"I'm just more practical."

The practical reason is that Cang Zhen has no choice at all, he only has these ugly and even terrible looking dolls. Castlevania doesn't need those cute looking dolls, the horror element is what Castlevania needs.

Regardless of whether the appearance is good-looking or not, as long as the manipulation technique passes, Cangzhen can enter the school. This is not a beauty pageant.

"[Dominating the Humanoid]."

Cang Zhen finds that his abilities are very suitable for manipulating dolls, and he should be a puppet master by nature.

Although he has not learned even a little bit of puppet manipulation skills, the killing puppets are still showing a fairly high level of killing skills, and their movements are smooth and coherent, which Kimberly is full of praise for.

Kimberly had no doubt that if there was a team of heavily armed special forces in front of her, it would be easily torn apart by the murderous puppet.

"Full marks for manipulation skills, but with this kind of strength alone, it won't do much to encounter an enemy with amazing defenses. So, is it time for another puppet to appear? ”

Since Cangzhen summoned two dolls, Kimberly certainly wouldn't think that he could only manipulate one of them.

"Of course!"

Cang Zhen readily agreed, and then snapped his fingers, and the thunder puppet that stood silently on the side was activated.

Since it is called a "thunder puppet", the power it uses is naturally the power of thunder.

I saw the thunder puppet floating out of thin air, surrounded by blue lightning, "crackling".

The next moment, a torrential rain of thunder bombarded down, and the lightning and thunder released an unpleasant fishy smell. It smells like ozone diffuses from thunder, and it honestly doesn't smell good.

After a breath, the grassy ground turned to scorched earth, and the dirt turned a dark red with a blazing heat.

The scene in front of me was as if I had suddenly fallen from heaven to hell.

"Amazing power. I think you can call me Kimberly in the future. ”

Kimberly's words clearly told him that he had passed the test and had been officially admitted to the King Walpurgis Karakuri Academy.

"My pleasure, Ms. Kimberly."

He stroked his chest and bowed gracefully, and replied with a smile sincerely. That perfect smile made Kimberly lose her mind for a moment.

"Oh hehe. Have you considered doing a male PR? I think that's pretty good for you. If the teacher were ten years younger, he might like you. ”

Since he has become his own student, even if he is a closer person, Kimberly also jokes.

"Thank you."

The innocent smile suddenly turned bitter, and he shook his head with a wry smile, he couldn't pull that face.

"If you report it, I'll do it well, and I'll go to the student dormitory and find an empty room to live in. Don't be late for class. ”

patted Cangzhen on the shoulder, and Kimberly left, what a casual attitude.

"Then you can count yourself as a successful student. Is it so easy to let others go to school, is it the confidence of being the strongest puppeteer? ”

Cang Zhen originally thought that there would be some procedures such as censorship, but who knew that there would be nothing. It took him a night to get the formalities ready.

The main road of the school connects the lecture halls, the cafeteria and the eight residence halls.

On the way here, they passed by the student dormitory once, so Cang Zhen knew where the dormitory was located.

There are not many students in the school, and although it is a university that recruits students from all over the world, it is the highest university after all, and there are still very few people who meet the admission requirements.

Almost half of the rooms in the eight dormitory buildings are empty, and even if there are people, most of them are one or two people.

After asking the classmates next door, Cang Zhen chose an empty dormitory.

He didn't carry any luggage, so he didn't need to furnish his room. In addition, the dormitory is often cleaned, and the house is very clean and you can stay on the same day. The items needed for daily life are stored in the real subspace all year round, and they can be taken out and used at any time, saving him a lot of trouble.

After settling down, Cangzhen rushed to the library non-stop. The information there could satisfy most of his needs.

"Are you...... The guy I met at the train station before! ”

Halfway to the library, Cangzhen bumped into someone he knew.

In this world, there is only one person he knows, and that is the teenager he has accosted at the train station before.

"You're the boy of that day! We met again, you see, and I joined the academy too. ”

Cang Zhen showed him his school uniform, and unsurprisingly, he entered the academy only a day later than the boy.

The boy was very surprised that Cangzhen appeared here. However, he quickly adjusted his mood.

"Hello, I left in a hurry before, and I didn't even report my name, which is really rude. Since I'm a classmate from now on, let me reintroduce you. I'm Akabane Raijin, and this is Yeye. ”

The black-haired Oriental boy introduced.

"Come, my name. However, to be honest, I'm not Japanese, I just grew up there and got a Japanese name for my convenience. ”

Akabane Lei Zhen, who had just shown joy in his eyes, was hit by Cangzhen like this.

I thought I had finally met a fellow countryman, but it turned out that it was not, at most it could only be regarded as half a fellow countryman.

Still, that's not bad.

At the very least, you can usually find someone who can talk.

"By the way, aren't you also here for the 'night party'?"

After the emotion of meeting the old acquaintance in another country subsided, Akabane Lei really seemed to remember something, and asked vigilantly.

"Night party? I'm not interested in that kind of game. ”

Although there are not many memories of bloodsqueezing and seizures, the locals are still a little familiar with the quadrennial night party of the "King Valpurgis Karakuri Academy".

The students slaughtered each other in a zero-sum game where the strongest and best puppeteers of the same era were chosen, and a hundred people were left to fight until the last one remained.

For ordinary students, such a competition is inevitably too cruel, but for Cangzhen, who grew up from the fight, it is too pediatric.

How does it help him to win the night party and qualify as the "Demon King"?

The one who stands out from the "Night Party", the "Demon King" is not bound by the International Magic Charter and the Code of Ethics for Magicians - in short, "do as you please". You can read all the **, use all forbidden techniques, and carry out immortal exploration and genetic modification.

But does Cang really need that kind of boring authorization?

As long as he wants, who can stop him!

Even if he is the enemy of the whole world, Cang Zhen is fearless, and naturally he does not need to compete for the qualification of the "Demon King".

He, Lai Su Cang Zhen is an impeccable demon king!

"Not interested? It's really rare, you know, as long as you become a 'Demon King', any wish can come true! ”

Ye Ye pouted on the side, obviously not believing in Cang Zhen's words.

Hearing Ye Ye's rhetorical question, Cang Zhen smiled noncommittally.

Any wishes?

Don't laugh, even the gods don't dare to say that they can fulfill any of people's wishes, and Cang Zhen doesn't believe that the "demon king" who is only recognized by mortals can realize any wishes. The reason why I say such things is actually just that my horizons are too small.
