There’s Absolutely No Problem With The Magic Cards I Made!-Chapter 188

Two days later.

Today was the first day of the second semester of the first year at Heavenlit Academy.

Dekan had begun his peaceful campus life again.

However, after experiencing the comfortable campus life for another month, he would be embarking on a journey with his friends for the 7th-rank team assessment.

Although Dekan could live a stable life as long as he stayed in the Royal Capital.

But he needed to be able to go to higher-rank Shadow Worlds.

Because only by going to 7th-rank or even 8th-rank Shadow Worlds could he come into contact with the follow-up stories of the Holy Kingdom and help Shijiang find the missing parts of her memory.

And.

Some things about himself.

Perhaps his friends around him also had people who had entanglements with the Holy Kingdom.

Like a kind of destiny.

They met each other in the present world, and when they challenged the Shadow World together, they encountered the Holy Kingdom, as if the Holy Kingdom Shadow World was calling to them.

There was a piece of history that had to be unearthed by them.

Dekan straightened his clothes, prepared to finish today's only class, and then return to the dormitory to start making cards.

Dekan had not chosen any elective courses this semester.

On one hand, it was because he already had plenty of credits.

On the other hand, he would be quite busy this semester.

There was still a month and a half until the 7th-rank team assessment, and they needed to set off half a month in advance to ensure they could arrive on time.

So Dekan still had a month of preparation time.

He needed to make some of the most practical 4th-rank cards as much as possible before departure.

After all, this time Dekan could be 100% sure that someone would come to trouble him.

Anyone like that would definitely play dirty and bring a full set of counter cards.

For example, his slave Isabel had brought enough cards like 【Pain Shielding】 and 【Spell Counter】 when she dueled with him.

If it weren't for Dekan's information advantage, it would have been difficult for him to play her in the palm of his hand.

If everything went smoothly, after the Beautiful Mind Squad completed the assessment, the journey back to the academy would take another half a month.

By then, it would already be early May.

They could also consider clearing a 7th-rank Shadow World.

However, they couldn't just match for a 7th-rank Shadow World whenever they wanted.

After all, its appearance frequency was relatively low, unlike low-rank Shadow Worlds which were readily available at any time.

Only when a new 7th-rank Shadow World appeared could they apply to challenge it.

In that case, Dekan and Cornelia would have to put aside the matter of bumping into Morion for now.

After all, Cloix was now in the second semester of his third year, and they wanted to let Cloix clear a Shadow World this semester as much as possible, leaving no regrets.

In addition, according to Morion's challenge pattern, he would challenge a Shadow World on the morning of April 1st and June 1st, rain or shine.

Although Dekan and Cornelia could continue to team up as a duo to bump into Morion on these two days.

But on April 1st, Dekan was going to participate in the 7th-rank team assessment, so the time conflicted.

And if they went to bump into Morion on June 1st, due to the longer cooldown time for challenging high-rank Shadow Worlds, after challenging a 6th-rank Shadow World, they would be in a cooldown period of more than a month. At that time, even if a 7th-rank Shadow World refreshed, they could only watch helplessly, and would likely miss the opportunity for Cloix to clear a Shadow World before graduation.

So Dekan and Cornelia decided to prioritize Cloix and go after Morion after this semester was over.

Then this semester they would probably finish after challenging one Shadow World.

And then it would be a happy summer vacation.

There was an important event during the summer vacation between the first and second years.

That was the once-every-five-years, rare opportunity, the 【Kingdom Federation's Hero Festival】.

Dekan, Cornelia, and Cloix had agreed to go to the 【Hero Festival】 to have fun.

This was what Dekan and Cornelia had agreed upon with their new friend, Miss Lilith, whom they had met in the Shadow World when challenging 【Mysterious Figure in the Barren Mountain's Blizzard】.

This year, the kingdom hosting the 【Hero Festival】 was in Lilith's hometown, which happened to be in the south.

And Morion was also hiding in the southern kingdoms.

Dekan believed that a speculator like Morion would not miss a large-scale event like the 【Hero Festival】.

At that time, they might be able to truly capture Morion in the present world!

Dekan felt that there were still quite a few things to look forward to, and his travel plans were packed.

So before going out, Dekan, who was in a good mood, still took out 【Dekan's Gospel】 first and gave Laxus VI his daily curse.

After thinking about it, he could give Laxus VI an extra curse of regular intensity today.

This way, Laxus VI would realize—

Don't think you can rest easy after being cursed once a day.

If no extra mana was injected, the second curse would not cause a backlash that would make him bleed from the nose like last time when he cursed King Ashston of the Rick Kingdom.

So Dekan didn't push himself too hard this time.

After completing the two curses, although Dekan was a little tired, he embarked on the road to school for the new semester with a particularly refreshed mood.

...

At the same time.

The northern kingdoms.

The Royal Palace of the Tomafis Kingdom.

In a retro-style grand hall, the walls were carved with lifelike heroic epic scrolls, shining brightly under the magnificent lights.

On the throne at the end of the grand hall sat a majestic and domineering man. He was the ruler of the Tomafis Kingdom, Laxus VI.

Laxus VI's eyes flickered with the light of wisdom, and he had an arrogant look, as if he disdained everything in the world.

"Your Majesty, the arrangements for the 7th-rank team assessment have been made. The Resurrection Church has agreed to cooperate."

"Please rest assured, this cooperation does not require our excessive intervention. The Resurrection Church's desire to eliminate Dekan seems to be even more urgent than ours, and the transaction went more smoothly than expected."

"I have also prepared a backup plan. We will be completely clean by then, and there will be no evidence pointing to us having made this transaction with the Resurrection Church."

"Even if Dekan escapes by a fluke, he will have no evidence to trouble us and can only suffer in silence."

Laxus VI was listening to the mission reports from his confidants, nodding frequently.

His mood was gradually improving.

That was how it was originally.

However, in the next instant.

"Ugh!!"

Laxus VI's expression turned to shock and anger as he clutched his chest, convulsing on the throne as he leaned back against the chair.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, the priest beside him quickly removed the cursed state for him.

"Didn't you say it was impossible for anyone to curse me again? And you, how many times have you searched the entire Royal Palace?!!"

Laxus VI, having caught his breath, gasped for a few breaths, and then roared at the priest and his subordinates.

This was the third time he had been disturbed by this cursed state.

It seemed that he was cursed once every day, rain or shine!

And the time was unpredictable!

"I apologize, Your Majesty. This is truly puzzling..."

The priest's expression was also full of confusion. He even began to suspect that his own cultivation was still shallow, as he could not feel the occurrence of the curse at all.

"Then search again and again! Until you find him for me. If you can't find him, expand the search area!!"

Laxus roared in exasperation, not knowing who he was roaring at.

Anyway, no one who heard this sentence dared not to carry it out seriously.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

"Better to kill by mistake! Than to let a suspect go!! I want this curse to stop immediately, right now! I want to see the head of that guy who cursed me tomorrow!"

Laxus VI was already convinced that he was being targeted.

In the recent turmoil in the Rick Kingdom, there was a mysterious curse master who was secretly pulling the strings.

Although the mysterious curse master only indirectly pushed the occurrence of the internal strife in the Rick Kingdom.

But many people guessed that this curse master was the one truly manipulating everything behind the scenes.

After all, he was the one who gave the final push to that rolling stone that would become uncontrollable once it lost control, causing the Rick Kingdom to collapse at a crazy speed.

This made many people wonder, was he really just a curse master with superb curse techniques?

Who knew how many arrangements a person with such ability to stir up trouble in the dark had made in the Rick Kingdom in advance?

The several princes were probably just pawns being played by him.

Perhaps the entire Rick Kingdom had long been under his control, and he had just chosen the best time to show his masterpiece to everyone in the world!

A mysterious curse master who could manipulate everything from the dark undoubtedly made anyone feel fear.

Due to the war in the Rick Kingdom, Laxus VI, as the leader of the northern kingdoms, was also at his wit's end.

Just when Laxus VI thought that this mysterious curse master would temporarily keep a low profile and stop for a while.

He was shocked to find that he had been targeted!

This strange method of casting curses without a trace was undoubtedly from the hands of that mysterious curse master!!

The constant curses were like a death notice, conveying to Laxus VI that he had become the new target.

This made Laxus VI feel uneasy while being angry!

But on the bright side, this curse master seemed to be able to only curse him once a day.

At least for the rest of today, he could be at ease.

However, immediately.

Laxus VI felt that familiar pain again!

It was as if to slap him in the face, he was hit with a second curse!

The priest also quickly dispelled the curse for Laxus VI.

"Ahhh! Who is it! Who the hell is it!! Are you watching me?!"

Laxus VI grabbed his scalp, his eyes bloodshot.

If this continued, he felt he was going to go crazy.

The other party was like observing him from a god's perspective, constantly sending down punishment to torment him slowly!

And like a ghost, it could not be captured.

"Don't let me find you! Otherwise, I will make you die in the most brutal way!!!"

Laxus VI's roar seemed to be able to resound throughout the entire Royal Palace.

He had already gathered the 7th and 8th-rank powerhouses in the kingdom who were proficient in magic to come to the Royal Capital to help him conduct a thorough investigation.

In at most a week, the powerhouses would be assembled! By then, not even a fly would be able to fly out of the entire Royal Capital! Laxus VI would spare no expense to investigate thoroughly, until he found that arrogant and despicable curse master!
