Green tree shadows sway in the gentle breeze, filtering through glass and curtains, casting streaks of morning sunlight that make the entire living room more serene and peaceful.

At this point, Lynch had already brewed two cups of tea and placed them on a tray. He carried it from the sink to the living room and handed one cup to Vice President Ron.

Lanch didn't speak first, he just sat there waiting for Ron to speak.

Finally, after a moment of contemplation, Vice Dean Ron held his teacup and spoke.

"Lanche, this time I came mainly on behalf of the Wise Men's Academy to ask you about the origin of the [Friendly Exchange] card you used in the third round test."

Ron seemed to be concerned that Lance was under pressure, speaking very slowly.

Of course, if it's not convenient to reveal, you don't have to answer my question. I just wanted to understand a little bit, and there's no malice intended.

Although Lance performed admirably in yesterday's Shadow World simulation, Ron felt that as a human he wasn't qualified to judge the event. He also believed that the Wise Men's Research Group needed to carefully consider which segments of the Shadow World should be archived as restricted material or potentially adapted for educational purposes after appropriate modifications.

As for the silence spell card 【Friendly Communication】, it could have a significant impact on the Sage Academy's future teaching model.

Likewise, in order to protect Ranchi, Ron, who agreed with Dean Lauren's opinion, had to communicate with Ranchi first and ask about the situation.

"……"

After Dean Ron's voice fell silent in this quiet space, a short silence ensued.

Although the card was made by Ranch.

But the most crucial poison magic principle came from Talia. Since "[Friendly Exchange]" used demon-related poison magic, if traced back to its source, it might cause trouble for Talia.

Lanchi has only planned to produce two "Friendly Exchange" cards so far, one for himself and one for Talia. After all, his master-apprentice agreement with Talia stipulates that any practical magic cards he creates must also be shared with Talia. Moreover, whether or not these magic cards can be sold requires Talia's permission first.

It was precisely because of this that their interests were completely tied together. Talya would feel at ease teaching Lanchi wholeheartedly and helping him become wealthy as soon as possible to repay his debts.

"It was obtained from a mysterious old woman who traveled among the people near the Nan Wan Tina border. She claimed it was an ancestral secret, but after some time, she disappeared."

Beside the sofa, Lan Chi simply said that.

After spending time with Talya, he developed the habit of being honest.

"So that's how it is..."

The deputy director, Luo En, nodded upon hearing this.

Then it seems that "Friendly Exchange" is not the work of a new generation card master, but an old card passed down, which was accidentally obtained by Lance.

Although Lance hesitated just now, he was looking directly at me with unwavering eyes while speaking. His magic also remained stable, which isn't how people usually behave when they are lying.

High-level magic users can often determine a great deal of information by sensing the magical fluctuations emanating from their enemies.

Therefore, the higher the rank, the more they practice controlling their magic to deceive their opponents.

Lance clearly still doesn't have much control over his magic.

Ron wasn't intentionally trying to probe Lynch, he just wanted to make sure that if Lynch was later questioned by someone with ulterior motives, they wouldn't be able to easily extract information from him.

"That means this card is very likely a naturally produced magic card from the Shadow Realm, rather than a man-made one, right"

Ron stroked his beard thoughtfully, and then asked.

Natural magic cards can only be obtained through the Shadow World, even purple ones are likely to be unique.

Ron really felt that the card "Friendly Exchange" looked more like something from the Shadow World than something a person could make.

"I personally think it's more like a natural magic card."

Ranch approved.

After hearing Ron's words, Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the worst-case scenario of "this card spreading widely in the market" is unlikely.

Immediately, Deputy Dean Luo En stood up from the sofa.

It's like I already understand what I wanted to know.

"Ranch, Dean Lauren has archived your record of the third round of trials and warned all other teachers watching this combat assessment to keep any details confidential."

Ron looked at Lance with a grave expression, his voice serious.

Lance nodded.

He finally knew why even Princess Vivian didn't understand the details about his third round of examinations.

It turned out that the great priest Loren had been protectively hiding him.

"So for now, the "[Friendly Interaction]" card hasn't been made public. And even though you secretly used it for a moment in the Demon World Shadow Realm exam grounds, its effect wasn't obvious, so no one would realize the difference between it and Silence."

Ron continued,

"We can only help you conceal this for now. When you use the 【Friendly Exchange】 card again in public, be careful of those who covet it. Some greedy individuals and even fanatics might go to any lengths to obtain this valuable card and try to replicate it."

Although Ron knew Lance had a unique talent for tormenting people, those lawless and utterly mad cult members who never adhered to rules or logic could make countless mistakes. And young Lance, with only one precious life, couldn't possibly risk his neck against these insidious cultists who were deeply rooted in both North and South Continent. As a student, he simply couldn't afford to play such a dangerous game.

"I understand, thank you, Ron Teacher."

Lanche sincerely bowed to thank the vice president.

"Well, I'll be going now. If you need any help, feel free to come to my office at the Wise One's Institute."

Vice Dean Luo also has a lot of official duties. Just to come to find Lance, he had arranged his schedule weeks in advance.

"Besides, as the most outstanding freshman in our academy of sages, you might have the opportunity to accompany the school team to other prestigious academies in the member states of the South Continent Kingdom for an academic visit this semester. When you meet leaders from other schools, don't be as overly restrained as with me. You should still bring some youthful energy, but also remember to be respectful and courteous."

Ron looked at Lance with satisfaction.

The more I look at him, the better he seems.

"Okay, don't worry."

Ron nodded and quickly ran ahead to open Ron's dormitory door.

After a brief exchange and time spent together, Ron got a very good impression of Lance, far more gentle and polite than he had imagined before.

At first, Ron was worried that Lance's outgoing personality and potential arrogance might cause trouble in the real world.

Now it seems, there's no need to worry too much about Lance. He's still a sensible student who knows the difference between the shadow world and reality.

……

After closing the dormitory door.

Lan Qi leaned against the door, letting out a breath.

"Phew, close call. Almost mistook myself for the principal again."

The instant Lan Chi heard that Ron was the vice-dean, he instinctively wanted to give him work guidance.

And then in every subsequent sentence he had with Ron, he strained himself to act like a student rather than displaying the aura of the headmaster.

But according to Dean Ron's words, when conducting academic visits to other schools, it should not be so restrained.

Despite his age, Lanchi still has confidence in showing the youthful vigor of young people.
