In the Cardmaking Workshop styled office of the headmaster.
Lanci cleared his wide working desk and comnced brand-new material processing and matching.
At that ti, the short foot auxiliary workbench was filled with various materials.
It was like Talia’s setup when she made the [Great Love Poet].
These were the materials Lanci had taken his ti to mix and match.
After moving the compartnts to the working desk, Lanci started processing the resources with a calm and skilled deanor.
Making this card could be a gamble, he spent almost all his money simply buying the materials.
Dealing with these all-or-nothing materials could make an ordinary Cardmaker’s hand shake from nerves.
But Lanci remained calm and collected, feeling even less pressure than when he was making cards at Talia’s house.
Admitting the fact that this is his level of capability is better than lanting his consistent failures at critical monts.
That’s how Lanci saw it.
Always treat it as a normal card making session, this is the best state to be in with complete dedication.
Lanci worked quickly and accurately, calm and determined, completing all the preparatory work in less than ten minutes.
His deliberation soon caught the attention of the director.
The broadcast began to intermittently showcase Lanci.
Because once materials of this degree are used, it’s either a complete failure or a product of considerable quality.
On-screen.
Lanci took a deep breath.
Suddenly, a Call Card appeared in his hand and he summoned from it.
"Great Love Poet, are you ready?"
After confirming all the prep steps were done, Lanci asked the newly summoned Great Love Poet.
"Yeah, no problem."
The Poet happily raised his arms like dancing in a spin, responding.
Suddenly.
Gasps were heard not just in the Cardmaker’s Association building, but also in Hutton Pedestrian Square.
"An Epic-level Summoned Beast?"
Such a high level summoned beast is usually only seen in extrely high-order Shadow World broadcasts.
They did not expect to see it in a Cardmaker’s exam.
"The examination rules allow for use of any spells or Call Cards."
Soone knowledgeable sitting in the open area of the square’s shops quickly pointed out.
Having an Epic-level summoned beast with high self-awareness theoretically could be a big help.
Rumors say that so influential people might keep good-tempered summoned beasts out of their Call Cards as butlers or attendants.
An Epic-level Summoned Beast appearing would usually be a spectacle that many people would stick around to watch.
Not to ntion a summoned beast like Great Love Poet, who has an astonishingly gorgeous and adorable appearance.
"Wait, beautiful woman, grey hair, red skirt…"
It seed like soone was reminded of sothing,
"Could it be the [Great Love Poet] of Principal Lan from the Demon Academy that’s been rumoured recently?"
As the discussions got more and more heated, more and more pedestrians in Hutton Pedestrian Square stopped and turned their heads to look at the live broadcast on the glass wall of the association.
In the very conspicuous principal’s office.
Lanci had already started making cards without hesitation.
Even though there were more than two hours left in the exam, his magic power began to drain as soon as he summoned the Great Love Poet.
And the Great Love Poet worked in perfect harmony with Lanci, like a nurse assisting a lead surgeon in an operation room.
Lanci would often summon the Great Love Poet to cooperate with him when he was making cards in his dormitory previously.
Lanci later began to suspect his life because he found that the Great Love Poet’s talent for card making seed to be higher than his.
Obviously just a Call Card, but she learned so quickly.
Although the Great Love Poet does not have Lanci’s talent for drawing, her understanding and mastery of Magical Engineering even surpasses Lanci’s.
Unfortunately, the Great Love Poet can only consu a fixed amount of first-order mana, if a higher-level Card is being produced, she can only assist Lanci.
So Lanci would summon the Great Love Poet to assist him when he was making higher-level Call Cards.
"This card-making is crucial, you need to put more pressure on ."
As Lanci made ink from the light attribute magic crystal powder and sealing system specialized Magic Core Liquid, he said to the Great Love Poet.
The Great Love Poet seed to understand.
Her mood changed abruptly, the jovial and free atmosphere turned incredibly cold like a harsh supervisor overseeing Lanci.
"Is that enough?"
The Great Love Poet asked coldly.
"Just right."
Lanci felt he was fully engrossed now.
Anyway, Lanci was under pressure as the Great Love Poet cosplayed Talia.
Aside from the assistance Great Love Poet could give Lanci, there was another reason why Lanci had to summon the Great Love Poet during this card creation process.
The magic card he was attempting to make was based on the highest quality, third-order magic card in his possession, the [Wonderful Note] (Sound of Purgatory), imitating its core principles of Demon Clan Magic.
Very few humans use magic cards of different races for an extended period of ti, as overuse of demon magic text can lead to irreversible partial mutation and demonization of both the body and the soul.
This abnormal demonization does not transform humans into demons, it is rely a malignant mutation that greatly shortens life span, and could even turn people into madn or monsters.
To avoid these side effects, one must find a suitable demon-type interdiary. The usual thod is to use demon materials as consumables, but this greatly increases the cost and risk. However, Lanci can use the Great Love Poet, who is soul-bound to him, as an interdiary and assistant, thus alleviating the danger brought about by the use of demon magic.
But Lanci needs to maintain the summoning of the Great Love Poet for a long period of ti during card creation, consuming a large amount of mana, and the card creation with her participation also depends on their coordination and her performance.
An ordinary cardmaker could never collaborate with the Great Love Poet. In the high concentration state of card making, rely hearing a bit of the Great Love Poet’s voice could cause ten tis the anxiety and tension leading to a ntal ltdown, resulting in card creation failure.
Only Lanci’s unique mindset is immune to the imnse negative impact of the Great Love Poet.
Imrsion state Lanci, with familiarity and ease, prepared the best ratio.
Then, the Great Love Poet started helping him synchronize the mana and ink. Soon, the ink was mixed by her unique magic power.
Lanci filled the magic pen with magic ink, opened the encapsulated magic scroll, and imprinted the summoning prototype he had made with core materials onto the blank card.
The next critical step requires the rewriting and setting of the enchanted structure, which will stimulate the properties of the materials and truly assign magic attributes to the summon card.
Lanci sat at the workbench, engrossed in slowly engraving, and the Great Love Poet stood at the other end of the workbench, helping him sort out and identify the magic circuits on the card, cooperating in evenly infusing their magic power into every complex magic symbol.
Because of the large amount of engraving, his progress was particularly slow.
He seed to have lost all sense of ti while working on this step alone.
Outside the Shadow World Examination field, the midday sun had been shining on Hutton Pedestrian Square for a long ti.
Nearly two hours passed, and Lanci was still drawing.
As the examination was nearing the end, fewer and fewer examinees remained in the artificial Shadow World Examination field, and the attention was increasingly focused on Lanci.
The image on screen showed Lanci in the principal’s office, he had been like a statue, concentrating on the critical step of instilling the summoning structure and appearance with magic power.
The unfinished magic card being blocked by Lanci and the Great Love Poet’s hands was already emitting a dangerous arc of light, which seed extrely unstable and could explode at any mont.
However.
Lanci seed oblivious to it, without hesitation proceeding with the final stage, completing the drawing and finally tuning, processing and encapsulating it!
At this mont.
Under the glass curtain wall of the Cardmaker’s Association at Hutton Pedestrian Square, many of the onlookers unwittingly opened their mouths.
When the focus was finally placed on Lanci, they realized that the success or failure of this card depended on this mont.
"This card can’t be shaped, even if the magic circuits and spell principles are all correct, the image he wants to give to the summoned creature is too crazy."
"It’s foolish. He barely completed the front part. With normal performance, at least it would be a magic card of purple rareness grade, but he looks intent on ruining this magic card."
"A human, how can he conceive sothing so magnificent... "
So of them marveled, so were startled, so regretted.
Even knowing that Lanci was bound to fail, so couldn’t resist staring at the barely discernible Magic Card beneath his and the Great Love Poet’s hands.
Because Lanci seed to be setting out to paint the sun with his pen!
Lanci’s complexion was becoming steadily paler. Even having reached the third-order, he was just about to overturn all his effort and Magic Power for this final drawing.
Struggling to maintain the Great Love Poet, his magic power was finally close to not holding up.
Perhaps due to Lanci’s extre imrsion,
He seed not to have noticed his own condition or the changes to the card face at all.
This was a state of self-forgetfulness that even surpassed absorption; he would finish this piece even at the cost of his own life.
The changes on the Magic Card gradually occurred, only when it had completely transford did Lanci truly realize.
That was when Lanci’s eyes couldn’t withstand the strong light for a mont.
The mont he closed his eyes, an instantly dazzling light seed to swallow everything in the principal’s office, in the white screen, only the grey outline of Lanci and the Great Love Poet remained until it completely disappeared.
...
Under the glass curtain of the Ichrite Card Making Association at Hutton Pedestrian Square,
The gazes of the onlookers all focused on this most surprising mont, as if the air had frozen.
The light on the screen expanded in an instant, as if to devour the real world.
At that mont, all the viewers nearly stopped breathing; their eyes were firmly fixed on the screen.
"... Destroyed?"
"He finally failed. He was too greedy. If he actually made it, I don’t even know what level they would assign him!"
"Thank goodness the Artificial Shadow World has a protection chanism. Even if it explodes, it will return to normal when you co out."
"What a pity."
However,
Just as many were sighing and preparing to turn back to their weekend trips,
It seed the image on the glass curtain wall of the Card Making Association did not end there.
Only after all the light had dissipated and returned to calm, finally, on the screen, an orange electrified card appeared!
