095 Dekan’s Special-Class Evaluation
Dekan fell silent once again.
He was pondering how he would handle this Shadow World if he were in charge.
It seemed possible to enslave both the hero and the demon king…
But that would require the gathering of Sleeping Dragon, Phoenix, Water Mirror, and the Enigmatic Swordsman.
With Dekan alone, it’s far from enough.
“Does the Rebirth Church have any means to snipe Morion during the alignment with the Shadow World?”
Dekan asked again.
Dekan’s first encounter with the Shadow World and the Rebirth Church was purely coincidental.
The second encounter with the Rebirth Church was a mix of chance and inevitability.
At that time, he hypnotized himself into being a villain and was matched to a combat-oriented Shadow World.
However, one “villain” isn’t enough; the Shadow World would inevitably match other world-destroyers.
Thus, it would naturally match with members of the Rebirth Church.
But it wasn’t normal that Morion frequently encountered Rebirth Church members in the Shadow World!
There had to be a secret behind it.
Dekan not only wanted to replicate the Rebirth Church’s encounters with Morion but also aimed to meet the Rebirth Church members who were like cash-bringing children every time, just like Morion did.
One could say that the majority of Dekan’s current cash came from the Rebirth Church members.
Aurora nodded slightly and said:
“Every time Morion challenges the Shadow World is fixed; he starts his Shadow World expedition on the first day of even months at 7 a.m.”
“…”
So it was this simple.
Sarcasm filled the air.
Morion was practically playing open cards —
If you have the guts, come and take me down, I’m giving you the chance.
Of course, the Rebirth Church couldn’t stand it.
Probably at 7 a.m. on every even month, a group of Rebirth Church members around the fifth level were all geared up waiting to intercept Morion.
A few of them always manage to succeed in meeting him.
In the luckiest scenario, except for Morion, everyone else might be a member of the Rebirth Church.
That would be a magnificent goldmine.
Dekan couldn’t even imagine.
According to this information, the next time Morion would challenge the Shadow World would be over a month later.
It’s December 23rd now, so Morion’s next challenge would be February 1st.
This happened to be close to the time of the preliminary plan for Dekan and Cornelia’s next challenge.
If Dekan and Cornelia also go to align at 7 a.m. on February 1st, there would be a possibility of meeting Morion.
After bringing Teacher Cat along, their team levels would be three, four, and five, giving them a chance to get into a fifth-level Shadow World.
Dekan nodded in satisfaction.
Although this method doesn’t guarantee a 100% chance of meeting Morion,
Trying it multiple times would surely result in a meeting.
Moreover, when it came to attracting great benefactors, Dekan has always had good luck.
He believed in the fateful connection between himself and Morion.
“Alright, Aurora, are there any other important bits of intelligence you have recently?”
Dekan did not rush to leave, flipping another page of the book.
Since he had come this far, might as well ask a few more questions.
Aurora thought for a moment, recalling something important, and promptly answered:
“Recently, the Rebirth Church will take some actions against the Tristine Magic Academy, but I don’t know the specifics.”
Dekan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
So there is some drama?
Why is the Rebirth Church targeting the Tristine Magic Academy?
That school is located in Tristin City, known as the magic metropolis.
Though it’s not as prestigious as the Hewenlit Academy in the Capital City, there are still many highlights.
Their education places extreme emphasis on the application of magic.
If Hewenlit Academy is a comprehensive institute, then this one specializes in magic.
Simultaneously, their Magic Card crafting course is also quite renowned.
It’s common for great mages trained by the Tristine Magic Academy to also be exceptional card makers.
The strongest teacher at the academy is the peak of all card makers within the Norton Kingdom—
The lone Special-Class card maker of the Norton Kingdom, with a rank as high as eighth.
Though Tristin City doesn’t have the absolute stability of the Capital City, it shouldn’t be a place where the Rebirth Church dares to act openly under the sun.
“Why do you know this?”
Dekan asked.
“During the previous period, my superiors in the Rebirth Church instructed us to pass on intelligence to members in other regions. I tried to secretly probe into the details, but under the condition of not being discovered, I could only discern that it was related to the Tristine Magic Academy.”
Aurora explained.
“You’ve done well.”
Dekan was satisfied with her competence.
Not only did she complete the organization’s tasks but she also thought critically about how she could help the organization.
Unfortunately, even though the intelligence was significant, it didn’t concern Dekan.
Even if this information had the potential to find the flaws in the highest-level Rebirth Church commander in the Capital City.
In reality, if Dekan were to openly share this information, no one would believe him.
If he spread it recklessly,
The Rebirth Church might either temporarily alter their plans,
Or they might proceed as usual. If something were to happen to the Tristine Academy, it would be Dekan’s turn to get suspected.
In the worst scenario,
If Dekan shared this information with someone, and that person happened to be a high-ranking official of the Rebirth Church in the Capital City,
Dekan and Aurora would both be doomed.
Therefore, Dekan decided this time to just watch and do nothing.
“Fantastic, and soon you will have a promotion opportunity, whether in the Rebirth Church or in our Happy Church. Additionally, this month’s salary has already been delivered to your home.”
Dekan placed a bookmark on the current page, closed the book, stood up, and left the bench without looking back.
In terms of monetary transactions, he couldn’t have direct contact with Aurora or leave transfer records at the bank.
He didn’t want to leave any evidence.
So Dekan had already arranged for his small delivery person to deliver the salary to Aurora’s house.
“Thank you, Master Dekan.”
Aurora, heartfelt thanks, spoke as she looked at the lake.
…
When Dekan returned leisurely to his dormitory entrance.
Before he could open his own door, his neighbor upstairs emerged.
“Dekan! Professor Arno is looking for you. He asked me to tell you to go to his office as soon as possible.”
Dekan’s neighbor seemed to have been waiting for Dekan all along.
“Oh, thank you.”
Dekan pulled out his key, bid a brief farewell to his neighbor, and left the dormitory, heading in the direction of the school building.
If Professor Arno sought him out on a weekend, something important must have happened.
Soon, Dekan reached the familiar office door and knocked.
“Knock knock.”
“Come in.”
After pushing the door of the office open, a figure, both strange and familiar, came into Dekan’s sight.
It turned out that apart from Professor Arno, President Reilen of the Capital City Card-Making Association was also in the office.
That very considerate seventh-level Special-Class card maker who looked after Dekan.
“Professor Arno, and… President Reilen, good afternoon.”
President Reilen was sitting on a sofa, apparently having a chat with Professor Arno just prior.
“It’s been a while, Dekan.”
When Reilen looked up and saw Dekan, a warm smile once again surfaced on his face.
“I owe you a great deal for your prior favor.”
Dekan politely acknowledged.
Upon seeing Reilen, Dekan immediately understood that the one who really summoned him was not Professor Arno, but President Reilen.
It seems that the Special-Class card maker evaluation has made progress!
