Chapter 71: So High? So Low?

[Damn, why am I feeling so excited?]

[No wonder Master Karoso is so straightforward and has so many people willing to help him, I finally understand.]

[Honey Karoso’s persuasive ability is too strong, right?]

[This strong sense of trust, I am so touched.]

[Damn it, strategy team, this darn dungeon just lacks an S+ strategy. The old woman couldn’t do it, but we can!]

[However, the plot only mentions where this dungeon is, the old woman’s failures are quickly brushed aside, and we don’t even know the specific information about that dungeon.]

[We didn’t know the specific information about the previous dungeon either.]

[A group of players is not even as good as one NPC like Honey Karoso?]

Karoso pushed open the door and walked out, the principal was still waiting at the door.

"How are you, young one, did you learn how to make any new cards?" the principal said with a smile.

"I haven’t learned yet, I’m not prepared, I’ll come back in a few days." Karoso replied.

"Hmm." The principal nodded in satisfaction, this is the behavior of a normal student!

"Alright, go back to class now, you haven’t been paying attention in class since you started school." the principal said.

"Has the principal been paying attention to me?" Karoso was curious.

"Of course." The principal nodded and said, "You are a student that keeps me on my toes!"

……

Soon, Karoso returned to the classroom.

He came back at the right time, just in time for the break after class.

"Is Classmate Karoso awake?" 『』 tidied up the teaching materials while glancing at Karoso, "You have to attend class well when you come. There is one big class session on Card Maker exchange and discussion tonight."

"Yes, teacher." Karoso nodded and said, "I also want to take a few days off."

"Huh?" 『』’s mouth twitched, "You still want to take time off?"

Although Karoso spent a lot of time on Card Maker exchanges, is it too much to take time off?

"Yes, I want to take a seven-day leave." Karoso said, "I will attend the Card Maker exchange tonight."

"Alright." 『』 rubbed her temples, "You won this time, so if you want to make up for the missed classes in the next few days, I can help you catch up."

"Thank you, teacher. This is the test paper you left before." Karoso completed the paper that Ailina gave him earlier and handed it to 『』.

『』 took the test paper, quickly glanced at it, then took a pen and started grading it.

Karoso returned to his seat, lost in thought.

"Oh, Brother Karoso is back!"

As class was about to start, Ailina saw Karoso return and quickly sat behind him, saying, "Brother Karoso, you’re awake…I wanted to keep you company last night, but Neymar didn’t let anyone into your room."

"Hmm, I see. Thank you." Karoso nodded.

"Brother Karoso, you did so well this time, Marl Academy is proud of you!" Ailina exclaimed excitedly. "If it wasn’t for you, we might have lost…"

She wanted to ask the prince about her and Karoso’s marriage, but being a girl, she hesitated to bring it up.

The prince had been busy these days and hadn’t talked with Ailina, so the matter was left hanging.

However, this didn’t stop Ailina from being kind to Karoso.

"Even without me, someone else would have won," Karoso humbly replied.

『』 paused in her grading and shook her head with a sigh.

Karoso shone brightly in the exchange meeting, bringing great honor to all of Marl Academy Card Maker.

『』 knew that only one technique Karoso used in the competition was taught by her, the rest were Karoso’s own. It wasn’t Marl Academy’s glory, but rather that Marl Academy had recruited a talented student.

"Karoso, your grades are in," 『』’s gaze fell on Karoso, "Botany 72, Metallurgy 83, Biology 76, Soul Manipulation 97, Magic Array Usage 90, Equipment Card Making 75, Attendant Card Making 69, Spell Card Making 61."

"So low…" Karoso frowned.

"So high?" Ailina gasped, covering her mouth, "You got full marks in one subject, and two others almost got ninety, right?"

Even by the end of the first semester, it was uncertain if such high scores could be achieved!

"Card making is not as simple as you think," 『』 ignored Ailina’s words and focused on Karoso, "So, are you still taking leave?"

"I still need to take leave, sorry." Karoso stood up and said seriously, "When I come back from this leave, I will make sure to catch up on my lessons with the teacher."

"Okay, since you’re so insistent," 『』 nodded.

She knew Karoso was a very proud person. Even with scores in the sixties for two subjects, he still needed to take leave, which meant that what he had to do was very important to him.

She planned to teach this promising seed well and not ruin him.

Ailina saw that Karoso was still not satisfied with his grades, which made her smile and cry at the same time.

If she had these grades, she could walk with her head held high wherever she went.

You see, these aren’t first-grade level questions; they cover all three levels!

Especially in the subjects of equipment, followers, and spells, which include all professions and neutrals, currently, apart from Karoso, no one in the S class can pass in all three!

With the use of Soul Fragments, Karoso could skip two levels directly.

"Brother Karoso, why do you need to take leave again? What are you going to do?" Ailina asked curiously.

"Take Teresa on a stroll. Right now, in Canglang Province, we have a collaboration with the Presea royal family. My father wants me to build a good relationship with her," Karoso didn’t reveal anything to Ailina.

In an instant, Ailina tensed up.

Build a good relationship?

No, Brother Karoso belongs to me!

"Hehe, the other day I had a chat with Sister Teresa," Ailina said innocently. "She’s really nice."

"Yes, she has a good personality," Karoso nodded.

"I asked her what kind of boy she likes, and she said she doesn’t have any thoughts about the men she knows now…" Ailina looked regretful. "Otherwise, I wanted to set her up with my brother."

"Hmm, she’s a good comrade," Karoso showed little interest in Ailina’s words.

Seeing Karoso’s lack of interest, Ailina felt a bit relieved.

However, it’s impossible to have complete control over noble marriages. Most of the time, they are arranged.

Some matches are deemed suitable by parents.

Just then, everyone else returned. Rayne was chatting and laughing with the other four Card Makers, all happy to be around Rayne.

"Karoso, you’re awake." Rayne greeted Karoso, "That was impressive this time!"

"I’m fine."

"Alright, let’s begin the lesson. Today, we will learn about the use of plants…"
