In the center of the hall, natural light refracted from the dome gently danced. Though not bright, it provided enough illumination for this tranquil space.

Loren calmed her racing heart and hurried toward where Lance and Karen stood.

"院長Lorenz."

Lanchi and Karen greeted Loren upon his arrival.

They were all very grateful that Dean Loren was able to take time out of his busy schedule to give them the opportunity to view the original tablets.

"Ranch…"

Lauren's attention was mainly focused on Lance. He observed Lance's expression for a while,

"Maybe I should arrange another one for you then."

Whenever Lauren saw Lance appear here, she always had a bad feeling.

Ranch's eyes were filled with a bewildered confusion, as if he didn't understand why Director Loren was so hesitant.

The dean will have a lot of work to do over the next period. How can we possibly delay any longer

Just as Lance was caught in a brief silence, before he could inquire about Lauren's worrisome work situation, Karen spoke up first.

"Dean Loren, Lanche is powerful and reliable. I feel very safe observing the "Primordial Slate - Wind" domain with him."

Karen, in a very understanding manner, bowed to Loren and said,

"Mr. Lanchi must also want to lessen your workload."

"Is that so."

Lauren felt that Lancy and Karen got along well with a subtle distance between them.

It doesn't seem like Lance coerced or tricked Karen.

To suspect Lance without reason seemed to show a prejudice against him...

"Lance, Colleen is the most important student on this academic visit team from Alora. I need to ensure she returns to the Kingdom of Alora safely, healthily, and happily. But I'm incredibly busy lately and can't look after everything. Would you be able to help me"

Loren gazed at Lance and asked.

He essentially asked Lance to very gently promise not to do anything that would cause harm, physically or mentally, to Karen.

Lauren was really scared that something bad would happen to Karen.

I had to simply tell Ranchi directly about the commission.

"No problem, just rest assured, I guarantee that I'll make sure Karen has a happy time and won't let her be wronged at our school."

Lan Qi smiled and nodded responsibly.

"Then, you guys should watch together."

Lauren thought about it, this time she might have misunderstood Lance.

Ranch always says what he can do, and aside from his personal way of doing things, his promises are indeed trustworthy.

"By the way, Lance, although you're great at making cards, but..."

Lauren hesitated to speak.

"Well, just get along with Karen then."

He was actually a little worried that Lance would hit Karen, so there were some things he didn't want to say.

But coming to think of it, Ranch wasn't the kind of person who would be arrogant and domineering.

Given Lorene's understanding of Lance, he wouldn't abuse his talents to bully Karen.

"Just a moment, I'll open the portal to the inner sanctum of the stone slab for you."

Then, Lauren and the two briefly finished their conversation and went to the tables around the edge of the council seats in the center of the hall. They greeted and chatted with the scholars sent by the mage tower.

The mage tower's recorder was on duty as usual, along with several workers from various artificer guilds, who greeted Dean Lauren respectfully.

Clearly, although Lauren seemed unassuming at school and even had no distance from the students of the Academy of Sages, she was an extremely revered figure outside. She was not only the High Priestess of the Goddess of Fate's church, but also a renowned holder of the primordial tablets throughout the entire Southern Continent.

As for the Magic Engineering Academy, faculty members usually come to observe the results, but since today is Saturday, they refused to work overtime and didn't show up.

Out of the blue, a reporter from The Hulton Times showed up.

Since the beginning, a lively young reporter had been sitting in the audience, waving at Lance incessantly as if trying to get his attention. Lance merely gave a polite response and did not interact with her further.

At that moment, Rupert Murdoch's student journalist and Student Union Secretary, Louis Vierhile, was sitting in the front row, eager to interview Langie and Karen.

Although Lance didn't know her, after all they hadn't met in the Student Council room, she had already known about Lance and Huberlian, the two new members of the Student Council.

During this brief waiting moment.

Formerly, Dean Loren's words had rather piqued Kaelen's interest.

She looked over at Lance.

"Ranchi, you're really good at making cards, aren't you"

Karen asked curiously in a low voice.

Artificers also come in many varieties. Within the Academy of Sages, those skilled in magical engineering are more likely to be scrollmasters and appraisers.

A skilled artificer typically attends the Artificer's Academy rather than choosing to study at the Sage's Academy, which primarily focuses on combat professions.

Loren would have Lanche observe the primordial slate, surely Lanche possesses a natural talent for magical engineering, along with some sort of artificer abilities.

I didn't expect that Lance excelled at making cards.

"I have a little understanding."

Lance replied.

He could tell that Dean Lauren's words just now meant for him to be humble, so he would naturally be more composed than usual.

"Dean Lauren said you're amazing at making cards. Do you know how much weight those words carry"

Kallen smiled slyly. They had spent so much time with Lauren that they hadn't realized what kind of person she was in the eyes of other kingdoms.

"Dean Loren has never seen me do this."

Lance sighed.

Like Tata, who just keeps saying he's a trash card master all day.

After they had finished their hushed conversation and the usual procedures were complete, Loren also returned to the vicinity of Ranchi and Caelen.

Both of them stopped chatting.

Let's get started.

As Loren's voice fell, he effortlessly summoned an ancient stone slab. Thin and delicate, its warm texture had deepened with the passage of time, becoming rich and full-bodied in color. Faint magical runes, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, shimmered on its surface, their bluish-gray waves rippling in the wind as if recounting stories spanning millennia.

The moment the stone slab appeared, the entire ancient tower library seemed to be filled with a gentle breeze. Every slight current caused several pages to turn, dancing in the sunlight. They were the spirits of the hall, light and nimble.

And as the terrifying magic began to manifest, many students from higher floors were drawn in and gathered around their balconies, watching with a similar fervor as they peered down at Dean Loren in the center of the main square on the ground floor of the ancient library.

As Loren infused this uniquely shaped epic magic card with power, the stone surface gradually gained more and more cracks.

Until the entire slab cracked open, revealing its truest form.

It is a crystal-clear, translucent magic card.

But what truly captivates the eye is —

It was a flickering light unlike any other, not pure orange but tinged with a hint of crimson!

The next second, this card floating in mid-air devoured all of Yizai Luo's magic power and instantly underwent fission, forming a small void portal in the center of the ancient tower library.

"Let's begin."

Maintaining this primordial slate in its unfolded state requires Loren's magical energy.

But he believed that even without his needing to say much, Lynch and Colleen knew what to do next, because the process was similar to entering the Shadow Realm.

The two bowed to Lauren and then passed through the void portal one after another.

Unlike the real world of shadows, this slate domain is more like an artificial world of shadows. There's no need for matching processes or waiting times.

In a chaotic, pitch-black void, for only a few seconds, the entire world illuminated once again.
