## Chapter 36 – It’s Dark Under the Lamplight
I was able to gather quite a bit of information while wandering around the artificial dungeon, so I continued my reconnaissance without rest.
For about two full days, I quietly monitored and observed the daily routines and training of the mercenaries and demi-humans. I was able to find out more than I expected.
First of all, today was the final exam, and the special evaluation would be held soon.
‘The time left until the special evaluation is… one week…’
The most crucial part of the special evaluation was truly inhumane.
Using randomly assigned beastmen like soldiers, utilizing their knowledge and abilities to solve problems.
So, all the beastmen seemed to be receiving combat training to some extent.
But if that was all, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
‘It’s the method that’s the problem…’
In this exam, there was no prerequisite that the beastmen must be kept alive.
Rather, it was an evaluation of how efficiently the beastmen could be used as expendable resources, in a way, using them as pawns in a kind of war game.
The reason why the beastmen gathered there didn’t seem to be specialized for combat was probably because of that.
Randomly mixed, docile beastmen useless in combat.
If you were to use such beastmen to break through a dungeon, the only way would be to throw them away as bait or spare lives.
‘I still don’t like it…’
I suspected it when I first saw it, but as expected, in this world, beastmen were treated no differently from monsters.
Some demi-humans exceptionally interacted with humans, but among those demi-humans, beastmen with animalistic appearances were a different story.
Their most representative physical characteristics, animal-like body parts, made them seem more like beings mixed with monsters than humanoids.
Perhaps that’s why a deep-rooted contempt for beastmen seemed to be ingrained throughout society.
“Hurry up and dig!!
When are you going to finish!!”
“Ah… I understand, please stop, sirs!!”
“You little brat, how dare you talk back!!”
“Kkeuaak!! Aaaagh!!”
Mercenaries whipping a male rat beastman who was digging the ground, presumably to create new terrain features.
The weaker beastmen were careful to protect themselves, and their situation was somewhat better.
Because the more aggressive, ferocious beastmen sometimes couldn’t contain their anger and charged, and whenever that happened, they either lost their precious lives or were beaten nearly to death.
Rather, because the mercenaries’ attention was focused on that, the other weaker beastmen weren’t affected as much.
As I watched the beastman being beaten and groaning in pain, I lowered my head to the ground again and started moving.
‘Then I should start preparing soon…
But I feel like I’m forgetting something…’

For students, there was bound to come a day when the sky fell and the economy collapsed, like a memorial day.
That day was today, and accordingly, the mind of a girl who was starting to show signs of anxiety was filled with all sorts of thoughts.
‘What do I do… what do I do…!!’
“Then let’s start the exam.
I believe everyone already knows what will happen if you cheat.
Hey, you there!! Close the window!!”
“Y-yes… yes sir…!!”
Following the professor’s instructions, Carla quickly closed the outside window and sat down, receiving the parchment that was being distributed.
The content of the exam was to write the answers to the questions written on the blackboard on the parchment and submit it.
Find the shortcomings of the Kullenberg Alloy Synthesis Theory.
Find the exact elemental ratio for synthesizing Ternthal Alloy.
In 6974, choose the incorrect statement about Chepete, known as the father of alchemy.
The questions written on the blackboard were dizzying just to hear, but surprisingly, they were multiple-choice, so even if you didn’t know, you could just guess well.
But luck was just luck.
No matter how good your luck was, it was obvious that you couldn’t perform well unless you had the proper skills.
In that sense, Carla bit her lip, recalling the time she had spent striving to acquire skills.
She would show her potential here.
‘Kullenberg ignored the uniqueness of elements and judged that other elements could easily mix…!!
I know the first question…!! The answer is 4…!!’
Excluding that, Carla’s eyes continued to sparkle as she tried to solve the problems.
‘I know the next one too!! Hmm… so…
27 percent nitrogen ratio in pure iron, with Petravina, Delinium…
Mixing 5.2 and 16.7 percent each!! 1!’
Although they were very difficult problems, Carla’s hand, which was solving the problems at a rapid pace, didn’t seem to stop.
Until that moment.
“Hngh…!!”
“Is there a problem?”
“Ah… no…!!
My stomach just hurts a little…!!”
“Please be quiet during the exam.
Will you submit and go to the bathroom?”
“N-no…!! I’m… okay… hng…”
Carla, who had diverted the professor’s attention, smiled awkwardly and turned her head back to the exam paper, slowly bowing her body.
‘No… not now…
Not now… hngh… it can’t be now…!!’
An alien sensation that suddenly began to wriggle from within her stomach.
Camilla, who knew the identity of that sensation, was desperately trying to hide her horrified expression and act calm.
‘This is a classroom… and it’s during an exam…
Hheup… it can’t be happening now…!!’
A ticklish and sticky sensation that was gradually crawling down from her lower abdomen.
Carla, who felt that the being that should be sleeping comfortably inside her vagina was finally forcing open her vaginal opening, was desperately tightening her sphincter.
But no matter how hard she tightened it, so hard that her legs trembled, she couldn’t overcome the sensation of it wriggling and scratching against her vaginal walls.
“Hh… hheup…”
‘Spider, please… not here…
I’ll be found out by the professor… and my friends…!!’
Despite her desperate efforts, Carla’s expression gradually turned pale as she felt the sensation of the Spider finally forcing its way out of her vagina and soaking her underwear with sticky fluid.
Thoughts about the exam had long flown away.
Now, only the fear of being caught in this moment was filling her mind.
And as she felt the familiar sensation of her thighs and crotch being wrapped, Carla unconsciously straightened her back and brought a quill to the parchment as if she were solving a problem.
Her expression was stiff, but to those around her, she just looked like a student stiffened by the pressure of the exam.
If someone had seen what was happening under the desk where she was sitting, they might have screamed.
She felt as if every moment was like a lifetime as the Spider’s body began to cling to her crotch like a suction cup.
But even so, Carla, who was making meaningless dots on the parchment with her trembling hand, took a breath and glared.
‘Don’t make it obvious… I can… endure it… Carla…
I have to endure it in the name of the Sterben family…!!’
It was the Spider that was sliding and rubbing its body against her skin.
And finally, as her thighs were squeezed and her clitoris was gently attached to the Spider’s suction cup-like mouth, tears that unknowingly leaked from Carla’s eyes were representing her feelings.
‘No… I can’t stand this…’
“Eup…”
She hadn’t even started yet, but she couldn’t help but know what would happen from now on.
If this was something that could be easily endured, she wouldn’t have had to be so afraid.
Wasn’t the dormitory bathroom disaster still fresh in her memory?
At that time, Carla had to suffer from muscle pain for almost three days.
Even so, she remembered that she was so ecstatic that she didn’t regret that time at all.
Because of Carla’s trembling chin, the sound of her teeth clattering inside her pursed lips was echoing.
Perhaps it was fortunate that no one could hear that sound in this quiet examination room.
Eventually, as her clitoris, which had been sucked into the Spider’s round mouth and had its skin peeled off, was lightly pricked, countless tongues that existed only for stimulation, soft and ticklish, like a snail’s teeth, began to cling to it.
‘Euhheuk… if I do this here… I’ll… really become strange…!!’
No matter how desperately she shouted in her heart, Carla’s heart, which was beginning to feel a stinging sensation that lightly pricked the center of her lower body, was collapsing like a landslide.
