012 Dekan decided to help her craft a few pieces of equipment.
Cornelia didn’t like the library very much.
In fact, she rarely came to this place.
However, if she wanted to avoid failing her courses in the future, it seemed she would have to follow Dekan to study more often.
They sat across from each other at a small round table.
Dekan had originally planned to finish reading the book before discussing the Shadow World strategy with Cornelia.
But when he looked up, he noticed Cornelia sitting quietly opposite, eyes closed.
She had been reading for a while but seemed to have a headache and put the book back.
Then she started meditating quietly.
Dekan realized she was very good at calming her mind.
This was also one of the qualities that made her a top warrior.
She just didn’t like studying.
Dekan lightly tapped the table.
Cornelia quickly opened her eyes and looked at Dekan.
Dekan: “Check your card.”
Cornelia took out a few magic cards from her pocket and handed them to Dekan.
Then she quietly watched him.
Dekan frowned as he examined the cards.
Cornelia was using all three-star white common cards, which had relatively poor attributes.
Her usual weapon appeared to be a sword.
Because all these cards summoned the same mass-produced swords.
“Damage…”
Cornelia said somewhat embarrassedly.
“I understand.”
Dekan nodded and returned the cards to Cornelia.
Dekan guessed why Cornelia had brought so many plain swords.
If the equipment summoned by the equipment card was destroyed, it could not be used again until a repairer fixed it.
Cornelia’s brute force often broke weapons.
To her, weapons were like consumables.
Also, due to her insufficient mana, and the possibility of needing to summon weapons several times in one battle,
she did not carry any body enhancement spell cards, nor did she need any summon cards.
Magic cards were divided into three categories: summon cards, spell cards, and equipment cards.
The mana consumption order was summon cards > spell cards > equipment cards.
The combat system was also differentiated into: summoners, mages, and warriors.
Summoners emphasize tactics, and as long as they carry summon cards and a few spell cards depending on the situation, and are suitable for people with high spirit and high stamina.
The mage system usually carries a bit of all three types of cards and is suitable for people with high magic and high spirit. They are naturally good at spells, and the damage caused by using spell cards is the highest.
Warriors mainly carry equipment cards and a small number of spell cards, suitable for people with high strength and stamina but insufficient spirit attributes.
Cornelia was undoubtedly a standard warrior attribute.
“Can I see the results of your four-dimensional attribute test?” Dekan asked.
Cornelia took out a piece of paper, scribbled on it, and handed it to Dekan.
It was written:
Strength SSS Magic C Stamina S Spirit D
This was her four-dimensional growth test result at the time of enrollment.
Dekan remembered his own: Strength E Magic C Stamina D Spirit SS
Actually, being able to reach level A in a single attribute is already very excellent.
S is the genius level, and above that is the monster level.
Dekan had originally thought that reaching SS-level spirit growth was already absurd.
But he couldn’t believe there were people who could test at SSS level.
After some thought, Dekan realized Cornelia still had a lot of room for improvement in her combat power. If he crafted some cards suitable for her, it would help.
Since they were supposed to team up frequently in the future, it was best to update her cards before they set out.
“When will we fight in the Shadow World?”
Cornelia, seeing Dekan silent for a long time, asked the question that most concerned her.
“Wait for me for two weeks.”
Dekan replied.
He needed time to craft equipment for Cornelia and wait for the cooldown of his Crown of Suffering.
Since they were going to the real Shadow World, it would be safer for him as a frail fighter to have more life-saving strategies.
It was also a good time to take these two weeks to finalize his elective courses.
Upon hearing this, Cornelia nodded.
Having agreed on the time to fight in the Shadow World together, Cornelia happily bid farewell to Dekan and left the library.
…
In the next two weeks, Dekan went to the required classes on time every day.
Although these classes were a waste of time for him, he could easily accept this level of workload.
Just consider it as rest.
Moreover, reading books borrowed from the library during class in the back row won’t bother the teacher.
Because few people in the classroom take the classes seriously anyway.
As long as you follow the principle of “doing what you want without disturbing others,” the teacher will turn a blind eye to students’ distractions.
After leaving the A class classroom, Dekan would go to listen to some elective classes that interested him.
In the end, he only chose two elective classes.
Since Cornelia didn’t want to choose any elective classes, she appeared particularly relaxed.
Dekan realized that if he went to the library, he could start meeting Cornelia.
She always sat at their regular small round table.
Although Cornelia didn’t like studying, she was a good student who tried hard to do her homework.
But sometimes while doing math problems she would grit her teeth.
Seemed she really couldn’t solve them.
At this time, Dekan would kindly give her a piece of paper with hints.
Even though Dekan was reading books across from her, he would occasionally see her stuck, then write some formulas and problem-solving ideas on white paper to help Cornelia.
Whenever she saw Dekan’s hints, she quickly found the solution.
She finally realized that Dekan was really good at studying.
Eventually, Cornelia moved her chair next to Dekan.
Whenever she encountered difficulties, she would look at Dekan.
Dekan could only helplessly pick up his pen and scribble on her rough draft.
Math in this world mainly focuses on arithmetic and algebra, not much more difficult than high school math in Dekan’s previous life.
As a study fiend, this was too simple for Dekan.
Gradually, Cornelia also chose to stay next to Dekan to do her homework for the other two required liberal arts courses.
Because she realized Dekan was really good at these.
Although Dekan wouldn’t directly tell her the answers, he could always see where her knowledge gaps were and quickly point out the best path for her.
If so…
Perhaps next semester she should consider choosing a few elective courses with him?
Cornelia’s biggest fear of failing courses was no longer a nightmare.
Her mood improved a lot every day.
…
The two weeks passed quickly.
If there’s one thing that caught the attention of the freshmen in the third week of school, it was that Dekan and Cornelia were going to challenge the Shadow World.
Even many seniors and teachers began to pay attention to their first battle.
Three students from the combat department can challenge the Shadow World during their classes.
Since some Shadow Worlds take a short time and others take longer, they might miss some classes.
However, as long as they get approval from their class mentor in advance, it’s fine.
The missed classes can be made up later.
In truth, it’s rare for freshmen to start challenging the Shadow World right after enrollment.
Students usually start attacking Shadow Worlds in the second semester.
Freshmen’s challenges need special approval from their class mentor.
Dekan and Cornelia went to Professor Arno’s office and expressed their intentions.
Professor Arno hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and decided to approve their request.
If it were other students, he would not allow them to challenge the Shadow World this early.
But if it were Dekan and Cornelia, there should be no problem.
Just a bit of concern about the safety of the other explorers paired up with them.
