The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing
Chapter 52 An Su What did the aunt say?

The Sixth Alchemic Church, Third Level.

Watching An Su pull out a magic wand from the lining of his clothes, Priest Ai Xueli looked so sweaty that the priests fell silent once again.

"This isn't ours," a priest from the Alchemical Church was the first to break the silence, "Our Church does not have this examiner."

Another silence ensued.

Only the priests from the Radiant Holy See cracked a smile, but they dared not to smile too obviously, managing only a more subtle one.

The wheel of fortune turns!

Now it's your turn to be dissected!

Priest Paxi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, having overseen the saint examinations for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such a bizarre examination.

Great God of Order, please guide the lost him.

This examination, from candidates to examiners, there was not a single anthropomorphic creature!

The streaker, the man holding in urine with glasses, and the woman with delusions of universal faith!

The imperial capital is just too complicated, he wanted to go back home.

....

"Now, please tell me," An Su said with a smile, "where do you think I placed this wand?"

As An Su spoke, he tilted his head slightly, his cyan pupils innocent and flawless.

"I..." Ai Xueli stepped back, stammering without being able to speak.

If the location of the wand was invalid, then all subsequent reasoning would be invalid as well.

The location of the wand was the most fundamental premise.

Including things like "interference resonance" and the like, all would be invalid.

"Exactly what filthy things were you thinking of to conceive such a dirty school of thought?" An Su advanced a step closer and stared at her, "Please tell me."

With every sentence An Su spoke, Ai Xueli's momentum weakened, if she had previously been like a raging lion, now she seemed like a timid chick, with her head down and shoulders trembling.

Prior to this, Ai Xueli had spoken so many shameful words out of sheer indignation.

But now, with that indignation gone and realizing how shameful her words had been, Ai Xueli's cheeks turned a deep red with embarrassment.

An unparalleled shame washed over her strongly.

Could it be, that everything before had been a misunderstanding?

Could it be that she was really just a silver digger?

No...

She needed to calm down now.

She couldn't admit it now, her brothers in the Church would help her get past this, she couldn't admit it now.

The words she had just said hadn't been heard by people outside.

There was no evidence.

She wasn't that kind of person... she couldn't be.

The important thing now was to stay calm.

Yes, all of this was false.

And, since An Su did not use that sneaky move, she could sign the authorization.

As long as she could defeat An Su and humiliate him severely in the examination, she could still regain her honor.

She would still be able to humiliate these despicable borderlanders. Discover stories with empire

Ai Xueli forcibly kept her composure and stared at An Su, managing a strained smile, "Ah ha... it seems I misunderstood."

"But," Ai Xueli continued stubbornly, "borderlanders are born to be misunderstood, it's not our fault."

"With that said, let's start the examination."

"Please wait a moment."

An Su smiled again, that sun-drenched smile as clean and pure white as the first snow of winter,

"I actually told you, this is a 'customized' mini wand that I had specially made yesterday."

He leaned close to Ai Xueli and whispered very softly.

"Inside, it contains a small Alchemic Magic Circle."

He indicated the magic wand in his hand and lowered his voice, "That Alchemic Magic Circle has just one small function, which is recording."

"You were planning to use this shock..."

"...to draw your gun?"

Priestess Ai Xueli's words came weakly from the magic wand.

Her gaze became vacant.

"Priestess Ai Xueli, you wouldn't want reporters to know about this recording, would you?"

An Su's smile remained bright and cheerful, but in Ai Xueli's eyes, it was as terrifying as a demon's.

If the outside world were to replace out about this, she couldn't imagine the consequences.

This brat!

He was fishing!!

He was threatening her.

Perhaps imagining a certain scene...

Ai Xueli's pupils trembled violently, her cheeks flushed, and the breath escaping her thin lips was slightly muddled.

"...Even if you use this recording to threaten me, I will still sign the authorization."

Ai Xueli's breathing was rapid as she forcibly calmed down, clinging to that last bit of defiance, "Threatening an examiner constitutes... cheating, and it cannot pass the judgment of the Eye of Order."

"I don't need to threaten you," An Su said softly, "because you are no longer able to sign the authorization—I will win outright."

Having taken the examination so many times in the game, An Su had already found the fastest way to clear it.

That is,

by any means necessary,

to directly eliminate the examiner is always the fastest!

This unorthodox way of clearing the examination is viable under the judgment of the Eye of Order.

And the reason An Su pursued an extreme speedrun this time is because the saint test has hidden rewards.

"What are you talking about?" Ai Xueli felt her worldview collapse, since when did it become a thing for examinees to eliminate examiners?

An Su calmly said, "Because you have just violated the rules of the Scales of Order—the very rules you proposed."

You've got it backwards... What did I violate?

Ai Xueli expressed her incomprehension.

"[No acts that violate secular moral ethics]—this rule. What you said to me earlier, those filthy words, go against secular morals, and the magic wand in my hand is the evidence."

"Therefore, you shall be eliminated by your own established rule."

Ai Xueli's cheeks were so red they seemed ready to bleed, as she denied it,

"Sex is sacred—according to the third chapter of the Bible, talking about sex does not violate secular morality."

She truly hadn't expected the situation to turn out like this.

"You did not violate morals by discussing sex, but by the subject you chose to discuss it with."

An Su smiled brightly,

"According to the fourth clause of the fourth chapter of the Bible, verbally harassing individuals under sixteen, minors, is a serious desecration of God's intent—this naturally also constitutes [an act that violates secular moral ethics]."

Ai Xueli, this is indeed a battle of wits!

"If I really had those vile and profane intentions, you'd be fine; but since I don't, it's you who has uttered those filthy and blasphemous words to me who is in fact sexually harassing a minor."

"I will use the rules you have established to eliminate you!"

His words were very calm, but to Ai Xueli's ears, they were as ear-piercing as ice.

She felt her worldview shatter, looking at An Su as if staring at a monster, stepping back involuntarily, until she collapsed onto the ground, weakened, her lips slightly parted,

"Could it be that you... you are?"

"I just turned fifteen this year." An Su said with a smile, "You understimated, Auntie."

No matter the server, An Su was always top tier.

Ai Xueli looked at An Su dumbfoundedly, completely taken aback.

With so many examinees, Ai Xueli never bothered to pay attention to their ages.

Especially someone from the borderlands.

This was the arrogance of a genius.

She had always assumed someone as mature as An Su must be at least sixteen or seventeen years old, but it turned out this kid was precocious from birth!

She was just there to supervise an exam, not to be sent to jail by an examinee, right?
