Chapter 96. Dekan’s Unique Way of Thinking

“I’m here to inform you that the first stage of your special-grade review has been passed. You are one big step closer to officially becoming a Special-Grade Card Maker!”

Relun said with a smile, his tone filled with pride for Dekan.

The content of the first stage of the review mainly involved an investigation into Dekan’s personal growth experience and his family and interpersonal relationships.

In other words, a background check.

Of course, there was also a subjective analysis process conducted by the headquarters.

Logically speaking, Dekan’s card-making style, his ability to make cards in a foreign language, and his performance in the Shadow World would make it difficult for people not to suspect or even question his background.

To be able to complete the entire process so quickly and efficiently, President Relun must have helped a lot behind the scenes.

“In the past special-grade review processes, the second stage required a one-on-one interview review by a high-ranking official directly under the Card Makers’ Association headquarters,” President Relun continued.

“…Don’t you count?”

“Although I am also a high-ranking official, I am not directly under the headquarters.”

“Then will the person reviewing me be very troublesome?”

“No, it’s not her who will review you. You have to go and see her in person.”

Dekan frowned slightly.

He could tell that this person who was going to review him was very arrogant.

“Of course, you can also refuse, but the headquarters will then send someone else to review you. It’s hard to say whether an examiner from a foreign country will make things difficult for you.”

President Relun clearly saw Dekan’s mood. He didn’t seem to be angry at his arrogance; on the contrary, he understood the kind of spirit Dekan should have.

“The school will give you a vacation until you complete the review. All expenses such as travel and accommodation will be covered.”

Professor Anno added from the side.

Dekan nodded, his expression already much more relaxed.

You should have said so earlier. A publicly funded trip, what’s there to hesitate about?

And no matter what, according to President Relun, this arrogant person from his own country was at least more convenient to deal with than a foreigner.

Relun said: “The person you are going to see is the only 8th-rank Special-Grade Card Maker in the Norton Kingdom. Her name is ancient and difficult to express in human language, so we just need to call her the Ice Snow Princess.”

“…”

As a citizen of the Norton Kingdom, he had of course heard of the most respected card maker in the country.

It was said that this Ice Snow Princess was a half-elf, skilled in ice magic, and most of the powerful cards she made were related to ice.

She was a great person that ordinary people had no chance to meet.

But here came the problem.

Wasn’t the Ice Snow Princess at Tristine Magic Academy?

He had just heard this morning that the Resurrection Church was going to cause trouble at Tristine Academy, and now he was being sent there.

Then, by this line of reasoning.

The Resurrection Church was probably playing a big game of chess.

And it was very likely that he had already been arranged into this game.

What was the ultimate goal of the mastermind behind the scenes?

And what kind of powerhouses would the Resurrection Church dispatch this time?

Dekan couldn’t get an answer for a moment.

But as he thought about it, Dekan even felt a little excited.

A noble person was coming to deliver wealth, how could he not be happy!

He hoped they were all top-grade goods.

After all, in the real world, the members of the Resurrection Church themselves were also considered spoils of war.

His mind was racing, but Dekan’s expression didn’t change at all.

At this time, he shouldn’t show any sign that “he knows things he shouldn’t know.”

Just playing dumb was fine.

“The Ice Snow Princess has a very cold personality. If it weren’t for the fact that she belongs to the Norton Kingdom and has some ties with our branch, she would not have agreed to review you. Be careful not to anger her when the time comes.”

President Relun patiently explained to Dekan.

“Is her temper… very eccentric?”

“She just doesn’t care much about anything. If she finds you annoying, she will just ignore you. If you anger her, no matter who you are, she will freeze you into an ice sculpture.”

“…That shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Dekan’s eyes flickered, as if he had come to some conclusion in an instant through thinking.

“You…”

Professor Anno narrowed his eyes.

Although he hadn’t spoken just now, he had been watching Dekan.

He felt that Dekan seemed to have just estimated his chances of winning against a certain powerful enemy…

Whose chances?

The Ice Snow Princess?

Could this guy have ill intentions towards the Ice Snow Princess?!

Professor Anno suddenly felt a little reluctant to let Dekan go to Tristine City.

“Dekan, you must remember, you are going for an exchange visit, not for an inspection.”

Professor Anno warned, his tone uncontrollably becoming a bit stern.

He was very worried that Dekan would treat another academy like he treated the Demon Academy.

That would cause some irreversible and serious accidents.

“Professor, I understand. I don’t want to be frozen into an ice sculpture and sent back.”

Dekan paused, then continued:

“By the way, can I bring Cornelia and Cloix with me?”

“What do you want to do?!”

Professor Anno was suddenly on high alert.

He was already feeling reluctant to let Dekan visit Tristine Academy.

“The iron triangle of warrior, mage, and priest is indispensable.”

“You are going for a visit, not to challenge a Shadow World!”

Professor Anno thought to himself, you are going to see the Ice Snow Princess, why are you bringing your gang?

And besides Cornelia being a somewhat normal warrior, aren’t you two, the priest and mage brothers, a bit off?

Who are you planning to torture?

After coughing twice, the professor continued:

“First, they will miss classes for a period of time, which is difficult for me to approve. Also, we did not report any additional accompanying personnel to Tristine Magic Academy beforehand. If Cornelia and Cloix go, they can only stay in a hotel outside the academy, and at their own expense.”

“Sigh, forget it. I’ll just go alone this time. Without anyone to protect me, I feel quite insecure…”

Dekan sighed helplessly and muttered under his breath.

Professor Anno’s eye twitched upon hearing this.

Is your sense of security built on the insecurity of others?

And Professor Anno highly suspected that Dekan’s target for bringing Cornelia and Cloix was the Ice Snow Princess.

Ordinary students would probably just end up as toys in the hands of these three.

In Tristine City, the only one worthy of them mobilizing their entire team was the Ice Snow Princess.

Making a move on the Ice Snow Princess?

Even a madman wouldn’t have such a thought.

But.

Anno not only believed that Dekan had the ill intentions, he also believed that Dekan had the audacity!

As the teacher who had the most contact with Dekan, Professor Anno had some understanding of Dekan’s behavior pattern.

Although Dekan would definitely not proactively provoke the Ice Snow Princess.

But what if!

What if the Ice Snow Princess made things difficult for Dekan, or really took the initiative to use force against him.

Then Dekan would stand on the moral high ground, treat the Ice Snow Princess as an enemy he could go all out to harm, and then try every means to make her submit!

The most serious situation could lead to the complete breakdown of the friendly relations between the two schools, and might even trigger turmoil in the Norton Kingdom.

He absolutely could not let Dekan bring his criminal team with him!
