8 Chapter 8: Always Death before shame

After a brief span of sobbing with pride while admiring the beauty of the moon. His pride as a man was already soiled with shame but he still didn't want to admit that something similar to loose motion had just occurred. He wasn't a man willing to succumb to humiliation born out of failure to maintain his untainted image especially in front of the opposite gender.

After wiping his face clean of tears. His gaze transitioned from the moon towards the demon lady with great difficulty while maintaining a stoic expression. The demon lady's expression still maintained the earlier repulsive state. Seeing this scene strangely pained his heart, he felt the chances of one day making her a part of his harem was almost at the gutter. The demon lady's first impression of Derrick was already bad but his condition now had made it even worse.

The demon lady had been watching the drama Derrick had been performing. She seemed mesmerized by how funny this midget of lunatic could be while faintly revealing a smile.

Seeing this Derrick took the smile as a mockery to his shameful act. He had already lost the will to live.

" Let's continue with the test and before that, did you need to go to such an extent to bully me. These tests should be for some monsters, it feels like the test was designed to kill me. Are these the same for all students?" after a brief pause Derrick continued" It's not my fault that I pissed in my pants the cause of it was the cards and who wouldn't piss their pants or even shit in their pants when facing a near-death experience for the first time.....", Derrick halted his complaints which turned into self-justification and soon realising something was wrong.

Derrick's expression turned grim, the situation was extremely severe than he originally deduced. This time he genuinely worshipped death, his pride as a man was almost at the edge of the cliff. Derrick instantly maintained his composure, and his actions immediately turned subtle as he slightly raised his butt as he was still maintaining his seiza posture. His hands appeared in a way seemingly massaging his legs under his bottom but in secret, he was feeling up the cloth in his area of excretion. It was damp and slimy, Derrick confirmed that he pooped in his pants in front of a female.

Derrick carried out his subtle actions still starting at the demon lady, and the demon lady also stared back at him. Derrick not able to maintain a stoic expression any longer, his hands moved lightning fast to pick up the last card. He turned it over to have its effect cast on him, but strangely he did not experience any change. The momentary sense of relief he felt while expecting another illusion to initiate as he focused on the face of the card was completely gone. He realised the card had no strange image, the face was only golden in colour with no additional effect. His shitty mood came back lightning fast. Derrick felt desperate, he assumed that he did something wrong that inhibited the ability of the card to manifest as , he soon started flicking the card expecting some sort of change to happen. The flicking soon turned into slamming the card into his face and this again transformed into a weird battle between him and the card, trying every means to make it reveal it's effect.

The demon lady had been watching the whole strange ordeal from the beginning. She had already found out he pooped his pants before he even escaped the illusion. Watching this she wondered if Derrick had turned insane from experiencing shame and trauma caused by the cards. But she didn't understand the whole idea of a man's pride, she was only an innocent girl who hasn't even experienced her first love and let alone sex for that matter. She was the same as derrick with even less common sense backing her mind.

"Don't bother struggling the test is already over. The last card is a reward for the trials you just faced, it's effect would only be revealed only at the right moment" The demon lady decided to stop Derrick from embarrassing himself any further.

"That's great then, if the tests are finished then would you mind sending me out of this virtual dimension.

I seemed to have encountered some health-related problems during the test. It might even turn critical at any moment which might accidentally turn the situation into an emergency, so I recommend Miss to take action as soon as possible", Derrick rapped without any delay as his desperate attempt to escape reality has been halted when he heard the demon lady, but then seemed to have a found a God-sent opportunity to escape.

'What nonsense was this lunatic spouting now?', The demon lady wondered in her mind but she did have a like mind. She already wanted to end the test with this guy already. She was an examiner and a student of the inner circle. It was her first experience and it ended up a horrible experience as she, unfortunately, encountered Derrick. She opened her eyes for the last time giving a deep stare at Derrick before closing.

In an instant Derrick was already awake in the cabin, his last image of the virtual dimension was the girl intently staring at him for some reason unknown to him. But the thing that made him happy was that he realized he didn't wet his pants not poop in it. He was relieved like never before in his life. The straps binding him was also released as he saw the door of the cabin slide open. He exited the cabin to see the 29 entrants standing outside in a crowd. They seemed to have finished their test earlier than Derrick.

Now that Derrick was finished with his test, what waited him was Admund the devil. He suddenly felt chills run down his spine as he felt Admund starting at him.

"Now, students the results would take some time to analyse and will be sent to you later tonight and for now you all can go home and rest and don't worry, no on will fail but the prievlage you receive will become limited based on how good your performance was in the test. The end you have all completed the test and all of you can start your days in the academy from tomorrow."
