Chapter 377: A World Apart
The next day, after saying goodbye to Neymar, Karoso returned to Marl Academy with 『』 and Alita.
『』 immediately returned to her job, and when Null saw 『』, he couldn’t help but look speechless, "You still know how to come back?"
"Cough, I took a little longer than expected," 『』 said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
This time helping Karoso took too long, and all the problems of the academy fell on Null’s shoulders.
Not only that, but the matters from the Kingdom Research Institute also rested on Null.
"Is it worth it? He’s just an outstanding student," Null said with a slight frown.
This time was full of dangers. The incident from the Pande Empire — it’s not surprising if anyone present ended up dead.
In Null’s eyes, Karoso was just a slightly smarter student who somehow learned about Null and 『』’s secret and made a deal with Null using that knowledge.
In short, Null had no good feelings towards Karoso, after all, nobody would like someone who immediately reveals their secrets and uses that to gain many benefits.
The problem is, Null didn’t want to tell 『』 about this; he would bear everything himself.
"It is worth it; you don’t know how much I gained from this trip," 『』 said.
"Enough talk, let’s duel," Null said as he took out a card.
"Hmm."
『』 also took out a card.
The two were twins, and their connection was far beyond what others could compare. As soon as one moved, the other knew what to do.
They arrived at a laboratory, set up the timer, arranged the materials, and their dazzling movements seemed dreamlike in their hands.
One by one, they carved and combined the materials, doing everything perfectly.
However, 『』’s movements were a bit more natural than Null’s, even carrying a touch of seriousness.
Bright colors gradually appeared around them. After finishing the materials, they both picked up brushes at the same time, and each stroke brought the painting to life.
After a golden light shone, they both revealed an eighth-tier Epic Card.
Null’s card was an eighth-tier companion, but 『』’s card was more interesting.
[Name: Power Boost]
[Category: Spell]
[Star Level: 8]
[Grade: Purple Epic]
[Occupational Restriction: Card Maker]
[Description: Available for eighth-tier Professionals, increases your magic limit by 30% and continuously restores magic points. Cannot be used with similar cards.]
"A card exclusive to Card Makers?" Null’s eyes widened in surprise. "I’ve never seen one before!"
"Yes, this is my prize."
『』 was already gifted, and Karoso’s instructions for 『』’s cards were advanced. Even if 『』 did not intend to steal the skill, she absorbed this advanced knowledge.
According to the principle of Emperor Goufuh, she created this card.
She could not find suitable materials for other professions, and at that moment, she thought of the Card Maker, which had no battle power boosts.
As long as she cancels the most important material of Emperor Goufuh and replaces it with something else, she can create this special card that boosts the magic power of the Card Maker!
If everything goes well, 『』 could even make a golden card, which would not be inferior to the cards of Emperor Goufuh.
It can be said that this is the true power of Null and 『』.
If the game hadn’t sealed their memories, the game company wouldn’t even know what kind of cards to create.
"Do you know what this means for the Card Maker?" Null swallowed hard.
"I know," 『』 nodded, "The Card Maker is weak because the boosts from the marks are weak, which cannot compare to battle professions. Just like Karoso, even if he has a Card Maker’s mark, it only enhances his mental abilities. He would not be as good as a normal wizard among the outstanding wizards. If he replaced the Card Maker mark with a wizard mark, he might become stronger, but then he wouldn’t be able to use cards from other professions, only limited to warrior and wizard…"
"Can you please stop mentioning that little guy?" Null said, feeling frustrated.
"Now, here comes the main point I want to make. The Card Maker is weak, and the Nature Mage does not hold the same status as the wizard, but this can all change." 『』 raised the corner of her mouth. "When the Card Maker has double the magic power, they might be able to face off against combat professions! Even though we don’t have extra boosts, we have plenty of magic!"
"This is definitely a huge discovery…" Null now had no way to simply dismiss it.
"Hmm, I will study this series carefully." 『』 stroked her chin. "The limit for Emperor Goufuh is seventh-tier, while the limit for Card Maker is eighth-tier…"
『』 felt a strange sensation; it was as if she had unknowingly touched a forbidden area.
Expanding the magic source, is this something a mere mortal should touch?
……
Karoso returned to school but did not go right away. Instead, he rested in his dormitory for a night and went the next day.
Looking at the classmates on campus, Karoso felt like he was in a different world.
"Did you hear? The third-year XXX has broken through to fourth-tier."
"So amazing?"
"In a few months, I will be able to earn my Professional Mark. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
"This is a special benefit for our first grade."
Now Karoso suddenly feels like a high-level player returning to a beginner village.
The topics they discuss are no longer something Karoso can join in on.
Karoso has already reached sixth-tier before finishing first grade, while his peers are still figuring out the free Professional Mark.
Even some nobles who have earned their Professional Mark are working hard to become fourth-tier.
Karoso is usually quite indifferent; he didn’t even check on Kirmin, who returned to school after arriving in Canglang Province, and went straight to the classroom.
The few classmates who looked at Karoso didn’t say hello, after all, this Class S is quite cold.
Ailina and Rayne have also come back, and they are in the same spots as before.
"Brother Karoso, you’re back!" Ailina greeted Karoso warmly, as if nothing had happened.
"Hmm." Karoso sat down in his place.
"Ailina!"
At that moment, Carrey arrived at the classroom door, "I had someone bring you your favorite tuna… you can eat it at lunch."
"Thank you, Brother Carrey." This time, Ailina didn’t explain to Karoso or avoid him, but walked to the door and accepted Carrey’s gift.
Carrey gave Karoso a teasing look, as if to say: She is mine now.
For some reason, Karoso suddenly found Carrey quite funny…
After they separated, Ailina politely asked Karoso, "Brother Karoso, would you like to eat together?"
Ailina treated Karoso like a good friend.
"No, thank you," Karoso waved his hand.
Clap, clap…
The sound of high heels echoed.
『』 came into the classroom holding a textbook.
Everyone was surprised to see 『』 come to class instead of Null.
"Everyone is here, so… let’s start the lesson!"
