There’s Absolutely No Problem With The Magic Cards I Made!

Dekan fell into silence once again, contemplating how he would handle this Shadow World if it were his.

It seemed like he could enslave both the Hero and the Demon Lord...

But for that, he needed the cooperation of others.

Relying solely on Dekan would not be enough.

"Is there any way the Resurgence Church can snipe Mauleon while matching with the Shadow Worlds?" Dekan asked again.

Dekan's first encounter with the Resurgence Church in the Shadow World was purely coincidental. The second encounter, however, was a bit more inevitable. He had hypnotized himself into a villain and was matched against a combat-oriented Shadow World. A single "villain" wasn't enough, and the Shadow World naturally matched him with others who wanted to destroy the world, which happened to be Resurgence Church members.

However, the abnormality was that Mauleon could frequently encounter Resurgence Church members in the Shadow Worlds. There must be some secret behind it.

Dekan not only wanted to learn from the Resurgence Church on how to collide with Mauleon, he also wanted to consistently encounter the Resurgence Church members who were like walking treasure chests, just like Mauleon.

In a way, most of Dekan's current cash was contributed by Resurgence Church members.

Ourola nodded slightly and said, "Mauleon challenges Shadow Worlds at a fixed time. He goes to conquer Shadow Worlds on the first day of even-numbered months at 7 AM."

"..."

It turned out to be that simple. Mockery filled Dekan.

Mauleon was straightforward: If you think you can, come and kill me. I'll give you a chance.

The Resurgence Church naturally couldn't tolerate this. Perhaps every first day of even-numbered months at 7 AM, a large group of tier 5 Resurgence Church members were ready to ambush Mauleon.

There would always be a few successful encounters. In the luckiest scenario, besides Mauleon, everyone else could be Resurgence Church members. That would be a spectacular gold mine.

Dekan could hardly imagine it.

According to this information, Mauleon's next challenge to the Shadow World would be more than a month later. It was December 23rd, and Mauleon's next challenge would be on February 1st.

This coincided with the estimated time of Dekan and Cornelia's next raid attempt. As long as they also matched at 7 a.m. on February 1st, there was a chance to encounter Mauleon.

With Teacher Cat, their team member’s tiers were three, four, and five, and there was a chance to match into a tier 5 Shadow World.

Dekan nodded in satisfaction. Although this method wasn't a 100% guarantee to encounter Mauleon, trying a few times would likely yield results. Moreover, when it came to attracting great benefactors, Dekan's luck had always been good. He believed in the connection between himself and Mauleon.

"Ourola, is there any other important information lately?"

Dekan didn't rush to leave and turned another page in the book. Since he was already here, he might as well ask a few more questions.

Ourola thought for a moment, as if remembering something important. She quickly spoke up, "Recently, the Resurgence Church will take action against the Tristin Magic Academy, but I don't know the specifics."

Dekan frowned slightly. Was there really a scoop? Why would the Resurgence Church target the Tristin Magic Academy?

The school was located in the Magical City of Tristin, known as the City of Magic. Although it was not as prestigious as the capital’s Hevenlit Magic Academy, it had its own remarkable features. Their education emphasized the practical use of magic.

If Hevenlit is a comprehensive academy, then Tristin is a magic-specialized academy. Moreover, the school's Magic Card Crafting Program was also very powerful. The Grand Magicians produced by the Tristin Magic Academy are likely to be outstanding card makers as well.

The strongest teacher in the academy was also the pinnacle of card makers in the entire Norton Kingdom - the kingdom's only Special Class Card Maker.

Furthermore, they were tier 8.

Although Tristin City lacks the absolute security and stability of the capital, it shouldn't be a place where the Resurgence Church dares to make a move in broad daylight.

"Why do you know this?" Dekan asked.

"Some time ago, the superiors in the Resurgence Church instructed us to pass on information to members in other regions. I tried to pry into the information, but I could only find out about a plan related to the Tristin Magic Academy without being discovered," Ourola explained.

"You did well," Dekan complimented her on her competence. While completing organizational tasks, she also used her intellect to think about how to help the organization.

Unfortunately, although intelligence was crucial, it wasn't much of Dekan's concern. Even if he disclosed this intelligence, no one would believe it. If he really spread the news, either the Resurgence Church would temporarily change its plans, or they would continue with the plan, and when the Tristin Academy encountered trouble, suspicion would fall on Dekan.

The worst-case scenario would be if Dekan shared the information with someone who happened to be a high-ranking member of the Resurgence Church in the capital. In that case, both Dekan and Ourola would be in trouble. Therefore, Dekan decided to just observe this time and not do anything.

"Good, you'll have a promotion opportunity soon, whether in the Resurgence Church or in our Rejoice Church. Also, your salary for this month has already been delivered to your home."

Dekan used the bookmark to mark the current page, closed the book, stood up, and left the bench without looking back.

In terms of financial transactions, he couldn't have direct contact with Ourola or leave a transfer record in the bank. He didn't want to be caught with any evidence. So, Dekan had already entrusted his small transport worker to deliver the salary to Ourola's home.

"Thank you, Lord Dekan," Ourola said gratefully, still looking at the lake.

When Dekan returned to the dormitory entrance in a leisurely manner, before he could open his own door, a fellow student from the neighboring room popped out.

"Dekan! Professor Arnold is looking for you. He asked me to tell you to go to his office as soon as possible."

It seemed like Dekan's neighbor had been waiting here for a while.

"Oh, thanks."

Dekan pulled out his key, briefly bid farewell to the neighbor, and left the dormitory, heading towards the school building.

Professor Arnold wouldn't look for him on the weekend unless it was something important.

Soon, Dekan arrived at the familiar office door and knocked on it.

"Knock, knock."

"Come in."

After pushing open the office door, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure came into Dekan's view. In addition to Professor Arnold, there was also Leyun, the president of the Norton Kingdom’s Card Makers Association and a tier 7 First Class Card Maker who had been looking out for Dekan.

"Professor Arnold, and... President Leyun, good afternoon."

President Leyun was sitting on the sofa, seemingly having a chat with Professor Arnold.

"Long time no see, Dekan."

When Leyun looked up and saw Dekan, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you for your kindness last time."

Dekan politely replied.

In the instant he saw Leyun, Dekan understood. The person who really sought him out was not Professor Arnold but President Leyun.

It seemed like the special review for Special Class Card Craftsman had made progress!
