Chapter 209: Tricking The Trickster

"Alright. Good work, everyone. Next, I'll be the one taking your test," Alexi said as he finally stood up. 

He walked to the center of the field. 

Glancing at Venton, he said, "You can go back."

Venton nodded as he walked back to the seats where other teachers were sitting.

"Alright. Let me give you a question. What do you think will happen in the next test?" Alexi asked, glancing at the students. 

"We need to fight you?" Dash asked, taking a guess. 

"Nope," Alexi responded right away. 

"Something related to Art of Tricks?" Lucifer asked. 

"Bingo!" Alexi nodded as he smirked. "Since I teach you the Art of Tricks, that's what I'll test you on. All five of you will come to me. You'll tell me two statements."

"One needs to be a lie while the other needs to be the truth. As long as you manage to make me choose the wrong statement as the true one, you'll win," Alexi answered. 

"I'll also do the same trick and make you choose. As for the scores, they'll be decided by the judges depending on your performance. So even if you fell for my lie and I didn't fall for your lie, you might still get points. As long as your lies are worth it," he further said. 

'Such childish game, I'll win it easily,' Dash thought as he squinted his eyes. 

"First, Dray. Step forward," Alexi said. 

As per the commands, Dray stepped forward. 

"Give me your two statements," Alexi told Dray, smirking. 

"Teacher, do you know, Dash once brought a condom in class. I don't know where he got it from, but he showed it to everyone," Dray said in the first statement.

Since the students were standing behind Alexi, he couldn't see Dash and the other students to know their expressions, but other teachers could. 

They noticed the shock and embarrassment on Dash's face as he heard this. 

The other teacher instantly knew that it was the truth, but they kept their poker face. 

"As for my second statement, it's that I personally think you're really handsome, even more than me," Dray answered. 

"Hahaha."

Hearing the two statements, Alexi couldn't help but laugh. 

"Dash, why did you bring such a thing to the class? And showing it to everyone? Come on, are you a kid?" Alexi asked, laughing as he glanced back at Dash. It was evident that he had selected the right one. 

Soon, he glanced back at Dray. "Honestly, I'm disappointed that you think I'm less handsome than you. It breaks my heart. But I'm happy for your self-confidence in your looks."

Dray looked disappointed that he had failed. 

Next, Alexi told his two statements, making Dray choose.

The test continued. One after another, the students kept trying. It didn't take long before the turns of five of them were over. Only Lucifer was left to be tested.

Amongst the five students that took part in the test, not a single person managed to get Alexi to choose the wrong one. As for guessing, Cassius and Dash were the only ones that chose the right option. 

In the second test, Dash was in the lead with thirteen points, Cassius with twelve, Ren with nine, and the other two with four each. 

Finally, it came to Lucifer, who stepped forward. He had already thought of the lie that he was going to tell. 

"Go on. Give it a try," Alexi told Lucifer, smiling. 

"Teacher Alexi, I want you to face this way. You shouldn't see the faces of the teachers when you hear my statement," Lucifer told Alexi, switching places so that Alexi's back was towards the teachers now. 

"Done. You can start," Alexi replied. 

"I heard teacher Franci say that you're a shameless man and that you have a crush on Teacher Mirali," Lucifer told Alexi his first statement. There were no expressions on his face as he spoke.

Hearing Lucifer's words, Franci's mouth opened wide in shock. He didn't know what to say. As for Mirali, her eyes also opened as if her sleepiness had run away. 

"Second statement, I heard Teacher Yovann say that you're a shameless man and that you have a crush on Teacher Mirali," Lucifer continued with his second statement. 

Yovann and Franci looked at each other, not knowing how to react. 

'Alex has played it clever. He flustered Alexi by hinting that it was true that one of the teachers said such things about him, and the truth about his crush on Mirali is out since only one of these two statements can be false.'

'And when Alexi is flustered, he has a high chance of choosing the wrong one. Well played.'

Sitting in the back, Morbius was praising Lucifer in his mind. 

"Come on, Teacher Alexi. Choose one. Which is a lie, and which is the truth?" Lucifer asked as a smirk crept up his lips.

"You really threw a curveball this time. But I think we all know, Yovann has a personality like that. He has a high likelihood of saying things like that."

" But then again, you're my best student in the Art of Trick class. So I think you would've known it. The answer seems too simple."

"You wouldn't have given these options if it was Yovann since anyone would choose him. It must be Franci in that case. You want to throw me off and make me choose the most obvious answer, don't you?" Alexi asked, smiling. 

He turned back to look at Franci as he continued, "You should be careful what you speak before kids because I'm honestly the most honest person in the world. Who knows, they might believe your rumor. Be careful next time."

Confidence was evident on his face, but he didn't notice that Lucifer was smiling behind him. It looked like his trick worked. 

He had intentionally given two choices in which one was obvious. It was because he knew Alexi would overthink it. After all, it was just so obvious. 

Franci's personality was much more serious, unlike Yovann, who had a high chance of saying such things, and everyone knew it. 

As Alexi confidently reminded Franci, Franci simply shook his head. "It wasn't me. I guess your student managed to trick you."

"Yovann, it was you?" Alexi asked, shocked. Did Lucifer really play him?

"In my self-defense, I didn't know Alex was there to listen!" Yovann replied as he smiled wryly. "I apologize. I was just joking that day."

Alexi couldn't help but facepalm himself. He was really fooled, that too, when the answer was so simple. 

He glanced back at Lucifer as he complimented, "Well played. As expected, you really are my best student. Despite having such great strength, you really tilt towards tricks. I'm proud of you."

"Thank you, teacher. Your turn."
