Twenty minutes later. [Write to here I hope readers remember our domain name]

The main building of the Magic Academy, 5th floor.

The glass windows on the floor let in plenty of natural light, filling the hallway. Occasionally, staff from the Magic Engineering Academy would walk by, and the carpet laid over the wooden floors muted the sound of footsteps and noise.

Wearing a black, classical suit paired with a white shirt and gold tie, with rhombus-shaped cross emblems of holy radiance on the buttons and collar, Lord Loren, the headmaster of the Wise Man's Institute, led Lance from the staircase landing onto this floor.

They walked along the corridor on the left, lined with glass walls, occasionally chatting. Their voices were friendly and clear, like those of a teacher and student who were also friends.

I walked past some other offices and classrooms, heading towards the principal's office.

"Dean Loren, could I please take a look at your [Primal Tablet - Wind]

"

Lan Qi smiled and asked.

The first slate holder he saw was possibly the most gentle person in the world's ranks of the strong, and there was no sense of distance from him around Lauren.

"Oh, you're impossible. I have to rush off to the church now. Things in the Northern Continent seem quite turbulent lately, so the affairs of the Church of Fate have skyrocketed. When I have some free time in a few days, I'll have someone notify you to come to my office."

Lauren seemed to know Lance would say that, and sighed helplessly.

Generally speaking, gold-level card makers wouldn't be qualified to make such a request of him. And though Lance is still not officially a platinum-level card maker, Loren highly recognizes Lance's card making talent, and he also wouldn't make things difficult for his own student.

It takes more than just a little while to study the Artisan's Observation Slate. He might need an hour or two free to give it his full attention, perhaps even longer for someone like Lance.

"Thank you, director!"

Lanche happily thanked.

Very soon.

Two people arrived at the director's office door.

Lauren actually didn't have to come over in person today.

Only have the teachers from Mo Gong Yuan take Lan Qi to see Professor Borao.

But Lauren was especially worried, fearing that Lance might have further offended Professor Boraulo, so she came with Lance.

Since the second round of admissions assessments last time, Loren came to the Magic Engineering Academy to ask Professor Bolao to repair the artificial shadow world launch terminal as soon as possible. However, Loren did not get special reimbursement approval from there and dared not see Professor Bolao for a long time.

This time, because of Lanchi, that platinum-level card maker's scheme, Lauren was inevitably going to have to meet Professor Polao. She felt another scolding coming on.

When Lauren was still a student at the Academy of Sages, Professor Boralo was already the Dean of the Academy of Artificers.

Mingming, though he had once been the top student of the Sage Academy, never imagined that crossing departments would lead to trouble with the Dean of the Magic Engineering Academy.

The more Laurent recalled his own unremarkable student days, the more outlandish Ranchi seemed.

Loreen paused her thoughts and gently tapped on Professor Polao's door.

Knock knock.

"Come in."

After hearing the reply, Lauren turned back to Lance:

"Wait here, don't go into the Headmaster's office unless I tell you to."

Lorentz and Lance had finished their instructions, so Lorentz pushed open the door to the headmaster's office with a gritted jaw.

Then.

Standing at the entrance of the director's office.

Lance soon heard a chorus of curses and apologies coming from the headmaster's office.

"This repair is going to cost at least 8,000 pounds! Who's paying for it You guys or us If we have to use the Arcane Engineering Institute's funds, I'll skin that kid alive!"

"Don't worry, I've already applied for special funding with His Majesty the King. If we can't make it work, I'll personally pay out of pocket to ensure that the Arcane Institute doesn't lose a single research dollar."

"... "

"

It seems that Dean Loren was scolded even worse than I was during the entrance exams.

"Show me that boy."

...the voice from behind the door came to her.

Lanche only saw the door to the headmaster's office suddenly swing open, a gentle breeze like clouds carrying him into the office.

This avant-garde building is characterized by sleek, futuristic design throughout. Even the dean's office embraces this aesthetic with flowing lines and sharp geometric forms. The expansive windows bathe the space in natural light, creating a dynamic interplay between the interior and the bustling campus landscape outside.

In the heart of the office, a surgery table-width white work desk stood majestically. Its surface was clean and well-organized, gleaming in the light alongside its smooth silver metal legs.

Professor Polao sat at the desk, his brow furrowed as he scrutinized Lynch.

Lorentz stood dejectedly at the side of the office, his fingertips lightly tracing. It was clear that he had brought Lance in using wind magic.

Lance's toes touched the ground, standing firmly on the carpet of the headmaster's office, he looked at Headmaster Loren with surprise as a smile appeared on her face.

I can't help but sigh in admiration at Dean Loren's magic. How convenient it would be to always float with him!

Immediately, Lanci turned his gaze to Professor Bolao, whose anger still hadn't subsided.

He actually understood pretty well why the old man was angry.

Because he had just overheard the entire conversation between the two of them outside the door.

At this moment, within the Dean's chamber of the Arcane Engineering Institute, the atmosphere was abnormally dry and oppressive, the air almost thick enough to cut with a knife.

The anger in the air, almost explosive yet held back with sheer force, spread like a silent, suffocating heatwave throughout the room.

Lauren now just wants Lance to be more docile.

Don't anger Professor Borao.

However, to Lorens astonishment.

Ranche didn't back down, instead he walked up to Professor Polao openly and confidently.

He came to a halt before the table, gazing earnestly at the old master craftsman with respect, and bowed deeply in greeting:

Professor Polao, regarding the research funding issue, I actually have a solution.

What

Professor Bolao clasped his hands and looked at them with suspicion.

Eight thousand pounds was a substantial sum even for Lorraine, so how could Lance, just a student, confidently claim to be able to handle it

Lanche smiled confidently, then said:

"You should ask Lord Lorren to continue applying for research funding from the King. Don't state the reason as 'Repairing the Shadow World launch terminal,' instead, say 'Further development of existing issues.' Then, issue a fine to my father, Noah Wilford, citing compensation for the damaged terminal and include my confession letter with it.If the King rejects the application, you can use the 8,000 pounds from my father. If the King approves it, take the 8,000 pounds from the King first. We'll split the 8,000 pounds from my father seven to three - seven for you and three for me. The funds from both sides are mutually exclusive and not considered double-dipping on the King's funding."

Lanche finished by clapping his hands together, as if the problem had vanished.

"Hiss—"

Professor Bo Luo took a deep breath when he heard this, and carefully scrutinized Lynch with his eyes for several moments.

After resolving the most crucial financial issue, and even potentially turning a handsome profit, Professor Bolaro could not help but feel increasingly pleased with Lance, this young man on the verge of becoming a platinum-level cardsmith.

What they need at the Academy of Magic Arts is someone who can make the electric meter run backwards!

"You're quite impressive, you know. Perhaps in the future we could invite you to help us test the safety of our new magical devices. You would be the ideal tester without a doubt. I really admire your out-of-the-box thinking."

Professor Bolao stood up, walked to Lanche's side, and patted him on the shoulder, his voice taking on a note of respect.

From the fact that Lance could utter such outrageous words, we can deduce that his father, Mr. Noel Wilford, must also be quite wealthy.

"Professor Bolao, I especially admire you, I've been a fan of yours for a long time. I read all your books in the South Man Tina Library before, and I would like to take more of your classes in the future. If there is any security inspection needed, I will definitely do it."

Lanche patted his head, he naturally understood Professor Porau's meaning, and said humbly with a chuckle.

On Old Man's side, it's considered as tuition fees, and an investment in the great construction of magical engineering.

And when Dad finds out about how excellent my studies are later, he'll definitely be very happy!

Besides the things about the Card Maker Association, you can usually find me in the old Humanities building on the second floor most afternoons. I'm just below the Student Union, and I basically spend all my time in that lab researching new magical engineering gadgets. If you have some free time, you're welcome to come over and lend a hand. And if you have any questions about magical engineering, feel free to ask me directly.

Professor Bolao, after many years, finally met someone young who he thought was promising.

Only one side can be right.

It's mainly about being knowledgeable and perceptive, that's the most crucial part.

in the distance.

The sudden atmosphere of harmony and joy almost made me forget about this place.

"...."

Loren just watched as Lance naturally discussed ways to make quick money with Professor Borallo, the most eccentric professor at the Arcane Academy.

It felt like a lump in my throat.

What on earth did he do to get yelled at like that

I had been scolded by Professor Polao for Ranchi before. What was it all about this time

Laurent now only feels that life is not worth it.

He finally realized that it was the same in the entrance exam, in the Shadow World, and even in his student council work.

When faced with everyone's contradictions, Lan Chi could always effortlessly come up with a way to make everyone as uncomfortable as having a fly in their mouths, but it also effectively solved the problem and satisfied everyone's demands as much as possible.

It's truly a matter of luck that this kind of person managed to survive until now.

Tomorrow begins the world of shadows!

(The End)
