Chapter 125 - 114 Lanci’s Artistic Limit Performance_1
In the Cardmaking Workshop styled office of the headmaster.
Lanci cleared his wide working desk and commenced brand-new material processing and matching.
At that time, 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 time to mix and match.
After moving the compartments to the working desk, Lanci started processing the resources with a calm and skilled demeanor.
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 lamenting his consistent failures at critical moments.
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 extremely 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."
Someone 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 some 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 mention a summoned beast like Great Love Poet, who has an astonishingly gorgeous and adorable appearance.
"Wait, beautiful woman, grey hair, red skirt..."
It seemed like someone was reminded of something,
"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.
However.
Lanci seemed oblivious to it, without hesitation proceeding with the final stage, completing the drawing and finally tuning, processing and encapsulating it!
At this moment.
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 moment.
"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 something so magnificent... "
Some of them marveled, some were startled, some regretted.
Even knowing that Lanci was bound to fail, some couldn’t resist staring at the barely discernible Magic Card beneath his and the Great Love Poet’s hands.
Because Lanci seemed 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 extreme immersion,
He seemed 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 transformed did Lanci truly realize.
That was when Lanci’s eyes couldn’t withstand the strong light for a moment.
The moment he closed his eyes, an instantly dazzling light seemed 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 moment, as if the air had frozen.
The light on the screen expanded in an instant, as if to devour the real world.
At that moment, 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 mechanism. Even if it explodes, it will return to normal when you come out."
"What a pity."
However,
Just as many were sighing and preparing to turn back to their weekend trips,
It seemed 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!
[Shining Virtue]
