Chapter 10: Chapter 7 Lanci understands enrollment_1
The floor clock in the study room rhythmically ticked and tocked, the sound of its gears clearly audible.
Coupled with it was the soothing scent of old books from the elaborately carved bookcase in the corner.
Gazing at the magic table lamp on the desk, which emitted a soothing amber light, Noe took off his glasses, closed his eyes, and gradually relaxed his furrowed brows.
Regardless of whether Lanci was acting or not, at least his unhurried attitude provided him with some comfort.
"But Father, I will need some money before the exam. Can you ensure that I have ample funds for these three months?"
Just when Noe thought Lanci was about to leave, Lanci's words made him open his eyes again.
"What do you need it for?"
Noe asked warily.
He seemed to suspect that Lanci wanted to extract as much money as possible before the entrance exam, perhaps to indulge in some final extravagance.
"Making Magic Cards requires a lot of money for materials, and I need to hire a suitable teacher."
Lanci's expression and tone remained calm.
Not at all as if he was lying.
He was indeed telling the truth.
Because after reading the code, he would begin researching Magic Cards.
"You know how to make Magic Cards?"
Noe asked in surprise.
This time, Lanci did not reply right away.
Actually, he still didn't know how.
He needed a perfect speech to gain his father's trust, and persuade him wholeheartedly to invest.
However, at that moment,
"I assure you, Master, he will make excellent Magic Cards."
The butler standing behind Noe spoke up.
He bowed slightly, spoke beside Noe,
"If you could see the painting in young master's room, you would no longer worry about him."
"Oh?"
Noe turned his head to look at the butler upon hearing these words.
Surprised by the butler's words, he soon realized something and felt joyous.
Then looked at Lanci with interest:
"Lanci, have you started painting again recently? If Hans speaks so highly of it, it must be a good painting."
Hans is the butler's name, but his predecessor rarely called him by his name, and Lanci, adopting his predecessor's habit, referred to the butler only as "you" when communicating with him.
"More than just..."
The butler shook his head with a smile.
"Uh..."
Seeing him like this, Frances began to question if Lanci had given up already and was simply enjoying some last frenzy.
However, she did know that even if Lanci didn't pass, he wouldn't be scolded or end up a destitute on the streets of the Royal Capital.
The young master could struggle in the Royal Capital.
Just by selling his paintings, he would certainly earn a lot.
"Do not worry, I will study the exam rules tonight."
Sensing Frances' concern, Lanci smiled revealing a touch of certainty in his voice, his eyes clear as if facing the legal code.
"That's good..."
"Hmmm? Exam rules?"
Frances suddenly realized.
She had a feeling that there was more to Lanci's words.
Reading the instructions carefully before the exams is certainly a good habit...
But what was there to study about the entrance exam rules of the Alchemy College?
Soon after, Lanci bid her goodbye, quickening his steps towards his bedroom, leaving Frances alone in the corridor, her face mirroring her confusion.
...
Back in his room, he closed the door.
Lanci took out the entrance exam reference book for the Ichrite Academy from the bookshelf.
He walked towards the desk, leisurely settling into the chair, picked up a pen, gazed at the book in his hands and gradually began mapping out his schedule for the coming three months.
When it came to admission, he was serious.
He had indeed promised his father that he would succeed in securing admission.
But he didn't specify which sub-college he would be admitted to.
"Although I'm a peace-loving person, I appreciate a good fight... and I don't think I'd lose if I prepare."
Lanci murmured, his eyes scanning the prospectus of the Ichrite Academy.
The academy had colleges that focused on theoretical research and backup support, like the Alchemy College and Magic Engineering College, which were hard to get into without a rigorous study.
Of course, they also had the Sage Academy and Knight College that emphasized direct combat and tactical application.
His solution was simple.
That was, admission via a roundabout way.
When the time came, he could just change his preference from the Alchemy College to another sub-college.
The Law Knight academy focuses on spontaneous adaptability, character and heart, and practical combat ability.
This is closely related to the "Shadow World", the most challenging instance in this world.
In the next three months,
As long as he can successfully produce a few 'Lanci-special' magic cards, and purchase a few commercially available magic cards to pair with them,
He might even be able to handle the admissions in such a way that leaves all the college heads in the dark!
