Chapter 38: Lance's Fire Safety Awareness

words of the great love poet, yet those images kept coming unbidden, accompanied by the maddening voice of the great love poet, flooding his mind uncontrollably, driving him to the brink of insanity....Chapter 38: Rancy's Fire Safety Awareness

Sunlight dappled through the green leaves, falling onto the stone steps of the ancient library in the Sage's Courtyard.

A few people who had gotten up early hurried past on the side road in the morning light. A gentle breeze blew, bringing a mix of floral and ink scent.

"So, what kind of challenges would there be in the Shadow World if you joined the team"

Lanche didn't immediately agree to join any team, instead he naturally continued chatting with Vivian.

Since first-year students are not allowed to challenge the Shadow Realm alone, Ranch cannot participate in the match by himself.

Once a challenger enters the Void Gate, the Shadow World will automatically match them with a corresponding difficulty level based on their overall rank.

When a team is not full, challengers from all over the world who enter through dimensional rifts will often be matched.

"There will be silver-level sophomores and juniors to lead you in challenging the Shadow World. With your comprehension, you'll quickly become familiar and adapt to the combat within the Shadow World."

Vivian answered Lanci's question.

When they saw the important landmark of the Wise Men's Academy, the library, they knew they had entered the territory belonging to the Wise Men's Academy.

Gold-tier registered challengers are almost exclusively found in Year 3 and rank at least level 5.

Without discussing the rationality of this, such challengers are constitutionally unable to compete with a second-tier Lanche team.

The Southern Continent Shadow World Management Association stipulates that, considering the safety of all challengers, challengers with a rank difference exceeding 2 are prohibited from forming teams to significantly increase the difficulty.

So, even if you join the team, at most it will be led and guided by a senior silver-level student in their higher grade who is in their fourth year.

"I basically just follow orders and play support well, right"

The answer is yes.

Let me think about it again.

Ranch's answer was very tactful.

But Vivian knew that this was a refusal.

Often, the rewards received in a world of films are related to the achievements made throughout the entire film world and also to the individual's final evaluation.

If you pass through the Shadow Realm in World of Warcraft, the rewards are not very substantial. After reviewing it, the South Continent Shadow Realm Management Association found that the challenge points awarded to successful challengers would also not be high.

Generally speaking, if a newcomer can clear the game smoothly, they're considered to have made good fortune.

...nor can we even talk about the extremely high personal evaluation you could get when clearing customs, unless you are a god descending to the mortal realm and wreaking havoc in the Shadow Realm.

Vivian had a change of heart.

"Do you intend to personally command"

She asked somewhat uncertainly.

Ranch shouldn't be this crazy, right

Even if the team's commander is from the support role, it would be absolutely impossible to let a newcomer take command.

After all, the Shadow Realm is a challenge that risks the entire team's lives!

"It's nothing, I'm not very good at commanding a lot of people."

Lance hurriedly denied.

"Challenging the Shadow World is something you must be extremely cautious about, it's far more dangerous than you could imagine! Especially for a newcomer like yourself, don't get overconfident. Take your time, learn and observe carefully."

Vivian warned solemnly, she always felt that Lance seemed to have no awareness of the danger of the Shadow World,

If you consider all factors and think our team is not bad, you can contact me directly. Also, be careful of some teams that are very strong in terms of skills but have very poor character.

Vivian wasn't in a hurry to recruit Lance, she just said that.

After all, there will still be many teams for Lanchi to compare and choose from. She doesn't want Lanchi to settle for joining them.

Unbeknownst to them, Lance and Vivian had arrived at a towering red brick building resembling a manor hotel.

"Alright, thank you, Vivian Your Highness."

Lanche laughed and thanked them as he walked through the automatic revolving glass door of the Sage's Academy dormitory building.

It seems that some people in the school are already interested in him, whether they join the team or not, his shadow world challenge will be quite popular.

To register as a Challenger to enter the Real Shadow World, you must bring the official [Shadow World Record Program] magic card issued by the South Continent Shadow World Management Association.

It will be able to livestream and record all the circumstances and information of challengers as they undertake challenges in the Shadow World, and it will also be the most important reliance for many research societies to conduct post-mortem analysis of Shadow World information.

At the same time, only with it can the Shadow World Management Association calculate promotion points for registered challengers after the end of the Shadow World.

But most importantly, the 【Shadow World Record Program】 has a live broadcast function similar to that equipped in the 【Artificial Shadow World Launch Terminal】!

For example, as a formal partner institution of the Shadow World Management Association, the Magecraft Academy's internal publicity department can live-stream some educational and attention-grabbing student challenges on campus magic screens.

If only Lanchi's attention level is high enough, he has a good chance of being caught by the Magic Engineering Academy staff!

I don't want to be publicly executed.

Lan Qi was conflicted. The last round assessment, [Hidden Flame of Winter], didn't seem to go well.

In my thoughts, a breath of fresh air struck me in the face, accompanied by a light and cheerful melody.

Stepping into the dormitory building of the Sage's Courtyard, you can see a magnificent platinum chandelier hanging in the hall, like bright stars illuminating the entire space.

In the grand hall, there are sofas and coffee tables where students can relax at any time. Even in the morning, you can see students sitting on the sofas, drinking tea or chatting, looking very relaxed and happy.

They didn't really pay much attention to Lance and Vivian. To them, it was common for new students to move in these days.

Lanche and Vivian stepped across the antique carpets covering the floor and came to the reception desk in the hall.

And the manager also looked up at them.

"Are you moving into the dorm today"

The administrator, wearing a badge from Ictheire Academy, smiled and addressed Lance and Vivienne.

"Yes."

The boys' dormitory is on the left building, the girls' dormitory is on the right building, and the building behind them is the restaurant. Rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. As the two students who arrived at the boys' and girls' dormitories earliest during registration, they can choose their favorite rooms. Currently, there are vacant rooms on each floor.

The administrator smiled and explained that since the graduating seniors from last year had all moved out, their former dormitory rooms were now vacant.

Then I'll choose the second floor. See you later.

Vivian made a decision immediately.

Then, taking the key from the administrator, he turned and left.

"Goodbye."

Lanche waved his hand.

He felt that Princess Vivienne seemed haughty and imposing, but she wasn't someone who was difficult to talk to. When she responded to others, she was truly sincere.

Even during his hesitation, Lan Qi felt that the second floor of the boys' dormitory was a good choice.

It's convenient to go up and down the stairs, and unlike the first floor, it doesn't feel damp. It's also quiet amidst the hustle and bustle of people coming and going.

Let me add that besides the lobby, there are also a few rooms on the first floor. However, because the first floor has always been unpopular, the school later decided to deal with the long-term vacancy by knocking down two adjacent rooms and rebuilding them on each floor. Therefore, the dorm space on the first floor is twice as large as that on other floors.

The administrator said somewhat helplessly.

Before the princess had a chance to recommend something else, he firmly asked for the second floor. He didn't dare to go against the princess's wishes.

I can't figure out how this black-haired, green-eyed boy can be so calm in front of the princess.

"In that case, I'll just stay on one floor."

Ranch replied casually.

He felt that the dormitory manager seemed to really hope that someone would live on the first floor.

"Here's the key to room 101."

The administrator smiled and handed Lance the silver key engraved with the inscription of the spell.

Even if I always recommend a first-floor room every year, it doesn't necessarily mean it will be recommended out.

The first student this year chose the first floor, which made the administrator quite happy.

"Thank you. Where are the fire tools"

After receiving the keys, Ranch politely asked.

"!"

Although the administrator knew Lance was asking a very benign question.

But this was the first time he had encountered a student who, upon moving into the dormitory, immediately raised the issue of fire safety.

It always gave him a strange feeling of fear!

The reception area on the first floor of the Sage's Academy dormitory was plunged into a brief silence.

The administrator looked at Lanchi.

And Lanci tilted her head, her eyes wide and questioning.

"Cough."

Soon, the administrator cleared his throat.

This student looks meek and gentle, embodying all the virtues. It's unlikely that he could be a dangerous person.

Of course, students, our school places great importance on the safety of its students, and fire safety is undoubtedly one of the key priorities. The entire dormitory building fully complies with and implements all fire safety regulations and building standards of the Kingdom of Heston...

In keeping with professional ethics, the administrator explained the safety exits and locations of fire-fighting tools in the dormitory building to Lance.

Lanche listened intently, nodding occasionally.

This scared the administrator even more....

"Classmate, perhaps my question is a bit impertinent, but you shouldn't be carrying any dangerous items, right"

After explaining the details of Lanchi's issue, the administrator followed up with another question.

"No, rest assured."

Lanche assured him confidently.

The administrator, hearing this, thought to himself that it was indeed so.

The dormitory building is equipped with the latest automatic safety inspection equipment from the Magic Engineering Academy. Flammable and explosive items cannot be brought into the dormitory building at all.

Then, after saying goodbye to the administrator, Lance happily took his key and went to find his room.

He didn't bring much luggage from the Nan Wan Tina border, planning to purchase everything he needed in the capital after moving into the dormitory.

including card-making tools and so on.

Then, if the dormitory could be as spacious as possible, it would be even better to set aside an area for a painting studio and a card-making workshop.

This is also one of the reasons why he tends to choose the first floor.

Failure is always woven throughout the process of card making, that's what card making is.

Talya now teases Lanchi as a "card bomber".

So if you practice making cards in the dorm, the first floor should be the safest.

Lan Qi thought.

He found room number 101 on the corridor just outside the hall in a few steps.

Insert the lock, turn the key, and with a crisp sound, the solid wood door swings open. The entrance hall comes into view, featuring an expansive European-style classical coat rack and shoe cabinet for convenient storage of coats and shoes.

The entire entrance hall was simple, practical yet elegant. As Lance passed through the entrance hall, he came to the most spacious living room, the heart of the dormitory.

The living room has a comfortable sofa, a matching coffee table, and a magical screen fixed to the wall.

The pillows and blanket on the sofa are all in warm colors, next to a vintage floor lamp stands, sunlight shining on various brown wooden furniture, making the whole space soft and cozy.

Ranch quickly figured out the layout of his new home. The living room connected to four spaces: a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, a balcony, a study, and finally, a large storage room that was essentially empty and could be customized and decorated according to the student's needs.

Although the room is a bit too big, if the space were too cramped, students would surely complain.

As thoughts raced, the door to Ranchi's dormitory was also knocked on.

He walked over, opened the door, and found that it was a staff member from the Student Service Center who had brought his luggage there for Lance.

Next.

The organizing work went very smoothly and was basically set up by noon.

The furniture is complete, and the storage space is very ample and reasonable. This is the most satisfying part.

Lanche sat on the sofa, leisurely flipping through the "South American Card Association Registration Regulations," waiting for lunchtime.

This was the first step that made him a world-famous card master.

The minimum requirement for applying to register as a Cardmaster is Rank 3, and you must be able to create all three types of magic cards: 【Summoning Cards】, 【Spell Cards】, and 【Equipment Cards】.

Lanche needs to hone his card-making skills for a while longer.

...and strive to elevate yourself to the third level as soon as possible.

Now that you're ready, you can try taking the cardmaster exam at the Cardmaster Association's capital branch in Ikerite, on the southern continent.

Only by becoming a registered card maker and obtaining certification can one obtain patent protection.

It can also save a lot of tedious appraisal and guarantee procedures, and on the official trading platform of the card maker association, it can be sold efficiently under its own name.

"As for the Shadow World, I got a direct Iron-tier Registered Challenger status without even taking the exam. I wonder if my proficiency as a Card Maker will allow me to start at a higher point during the assessment..."

Lance flipped through the pages of the book, muttering to himself.

The registration card examination, also known as the level assessment.

The level system continues to use the seven levels of similar Shadow World Management Association: iron, copper, silver, gold, platinum, magic crystal, and master craftsman.

And when registering for the exam, the initial level will be determined based on the card maker's potential.

Generally speaking, being able to pass and be ranked as Iron is already a great achievement. Of course, there are also ultra-talented card masters with immense potential and outstanding performances who can be directly ranked to Bronze and Silver.

Even a Silver-grade card maker is already very skilled.

Even supposedly this school has very few Gold-level Cardmakers, and throughout the entire Southern Continent, Gold-level Cardmakers are far fewer than Gold-level Challengers.

"Oh, my craftsmanship is still too unstable."

Lan Qi sighed and closed the book in his hand.

He had previously independently produced two purple rare-quality magic cards, "Basic Etiquette" and "Friendly Interaction".

But over these past few months, he has only made these two cards and a small number of blue rare first edition cards.

The rest of the error-correcting magic cards were all bought from the association. Fortunately, these cards were sold at the bottom price and were not expensive.

"No matter what, let's go to the real Shadow World first! You can't even take the Card Master exam until you reach level 3."

Ranch has always been optimistic and won't worry about things that may happen tomorrow.

Live life to the fullest today, for tomorrow is another day!

Becoming a master card maker is not something that can be achieved overnight.

All that matters right now is —

His brand new life at Iketerite Academy is about to begin!

(The End)
