On the horizon, the sun rose higher and higher, sunlight streaming through the gaps in the wooden railing of the balcony and falling on Lan Qi, stretching his shadow long.

On the balcony stood a comfortable wicker chair, beside it on the glass tea table lay a half-read book. A fragrant breeze drifted past, caressing Lance's cheeks, as if trying to blow away his drowsiness.

"Lance, it's time for the card exam. Don't keep dwelling on your animal friends."

The great poet, holding a watering can, glanced at the clock on the living room wall and then at Lanci, who was still leisurely feeding the birds on the ground. He couldn't help but kick him in the back twice.

"Got it, it's still early. I won't be late."

Lance rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Although I often hang out with the big-hearted poet and gotten to know her well, now she seems to be getting more and more casual about herself.

Sometimes I don't feel like she's a girl at all. In fact, her actions and demeanor are very masculine.

"Go on, Ranchi, show the people of the capital what you can do with your sealing arts! The representative of sealing arts is Bishop Oblivion. It's not reasonable!"

The great poet smiled with his mouth wide open in the morning sun.

"Yes, sealing magic should also be warm like sunshine, it's definitely not as dark as Askshan's kind of spells."

Lan Qi smiled with relief, stood up and stretched his arms to the full.

Soon, the great poet of love dispelled the summoning state by himself, and Lanchi was ready to depart.

Stepping across the threshold of Xianzhe Academy's dormitory at dawn, Lance wore a faint smile and walked leisurely along the campus road.

He looked serene, bathed in the soft golden sunlight, his aura radiating even more warmth.

Today is the day for the registration card maker exam, and it's also the weekend, with no classes or student activities.

> A month passed in a flash, filled with ordinary days. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Apart from attending student council meetings and handling minor campus disputes smoothly, Lance mostly spent his time either hanging out with Talia or staying in the dorm to make cards.

Although he still wasn't completely confident about passing the exam, after training with Talia's demon magic teaching method and finding the type of magic that best suited him, practicing it diligently, Lance believed he was much stronger than before when he only excelled at making mental magic cards.

He woke up early this morning and went to the card maker's association branch in the capital city of Ikereth to take the registration exam.

The higher your registered card maker status, the greater the discounts you'll receive on both common and rare materials when purchasing from the Card Maker Association.

Even troops could be dispatched and transported from other nations in South America.

Moreover, the commission rates for selling cards and accepting commissions will also be very low.

Another good place to procure rare materials is the Cardmaker's Association.

If, like in the case of previous Ranches, trade is conducted as a merchant, some high-level materials can only be sold to the Association but not purchased from it.

The association has been committed to severely cracking down on horse racing and the practice of "dàoyé."

Just outside the Sage's Residence building, Lanche spotted Huberlian sitting in meditation on a circle of wooden chairs beneath a large tree.

Good morning, Huberlian!

Lane waved his hand and shouted.

Huberly noticed him at once and cocked her head.

"Well, good morning."

The two people walked towards the Association of Card Makers after meeting at their designated spot.

Huberly had made plans with Ranch early on to go to the Card Maker's Association together today.

She was one of the few people in school who knew Lanchi was a card maker, and she had always wanted to see Lanchi's card-making process.

Leave the school zone.

They strolled along the silent streets of dawn, following the cobblestone path beside the Theatre of Dionysus. They crossed the stone bridge over the canal and beheld the Aura basin glittering with golden ripples in the morning light.

"Ranch, did you know that you've become somewhat famous in the capital recently"

The two of them were still as usual, walking and chatting along the way.

"Is that even possible"

Lanche didn't know that his deeds had already spread from the Icteris Academy.

He has been devoting himself to studying how to make cards and spends most of his time at school.

Leaving the school zone, they headed to Talia's at Cat Boss Restaurant, not far to the east.

Although our Underworld Shadow World footage hasn't been released, the rumors about it are getting more and more exaggerated...

Huperlyan sighed.

She thinks it's fine as long as there are images.

It is precisely because there are no images that they are imagined and passed down by word of mouth. Every time someone recounts the story, it changes into a different version, and eventually, each version becomes incredibly abstract.

What did you spread it as

Lanche asked curiously.

The most outlandish version is that even if Principal Lan carries the burden of hell, with one hand supporting the Corridor Academy to fight against the Blood Clan Prince, he would still be invincible in the world.

Lanche almost choked on his own spit.

After several coughs, "No one would actually believe it, right"

Hupperlia shook her head.

Since the story has spread widely among residents, even some young parents have been using it to scare their unruly children: "If you don't behave well, Principal Lan will take you to the Devil Academy for reformation."

"I…"

Lance was speechless for a moment.

Clearly, he's proclaiming love, peace, and moral order—all positive and uplifting values—within this shadowy world.

How could it become a dark fairy tale

Word of mouth can be truly terrifying.

"Alright, alright, don't mind it. Everyone knows the story is half-joking."

Hubert sighed and smiled helplessly.

Although she knew the story was three-quarters fiction, she could still see Lancy's confusion at this moment.

Lanqi heard this.

He nodded deeply.

Then, with a resolute expression, he said:

"That's right, as long as I put in more effort next time, I'm sure I can make everyone understand the positive energy I've been promoting."

"

“…”

"

Huperlan hesitated to speak.

I think I should have kept my mouth shut just now.

……

About half an hour later.

Two people arrived at the Southern Continent Card Master Association, located near Erica Tower and Heston Walk Square on the eastern side of the capital city, Ikereth.

Unlike the archaic-style Card Master Guild branch located on the Nan Wan Tina border,

This post-modernist grand building, the headquarters of the Ik'terite Division, was completed ten years ago. It is overseen by the Ik'terite City Government and stands in stark contrast to the nearby New Classical Southern Continental Shadow World Management Association building, separated by Heston Walking Plaza. The two buildings are aligned on an axis.

The glass curtain wall of the Wangdu Playing Card Maker's Association branch quoted the urban grid of Ictereth, reflecting the view of Horton Walk Plaza.

He strode through the shimmering waterfall portal, which swung open automatically to welcome them. Inside, he saw a sleek corridor and a gallery of trees, their design clearly incorporating elements from various fields like Icterean culture, geology, history, paleontology, magical engineering, and sociology.

What time does your exam start

Following clear signs within the building, Huberly turned her head and asked.

"It's 9 o'clock, we still have plenty of time. Let's take a walk first."

Lance estimated that it should only be a little past eight o'clock now,

We all leveled up, and we can see if there are any new cards we can purchase before the next Shadow World.

"Well, alright."

Hughley nodded.

She knew that Ranch's error healing card series were all bought from the Card Maker Association.

These discarded cards, which ordinary people wouldn't use, can be acquired successfully without spending too much money.

It's okay to search for more. You might just come across a healing card with even better effects.

However, recently it seems that the entire Herton Kingdom's Erratic Healing Series magic cards have started to rise in price slightly.

Gradually, people discovered that these discarded cards, originally meant for dismantling, could be used as a tool to disgust opponents.

Although it doesn't have any practical effect, it can really mess with your mindset.

Huberley knew it must have been the wise men's teachers who understood this usage and, emulating Lanci, started playing around with it. Gradually, this trend began to spread.

Although Headmaster Lorenz's ban prevents us from talking about it, teachers all know that the price of this kind of card will skyrocket in the future. The clever ones are already hoarding them.
