In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

Lu Mingfei stroked his chin, starting to think about where he could put the card.

"Rather than calling it an elf card, it's more like... a one-time offensive spell card with an elf as its external form?"

300 damage ignoring armor is already quite high. If the enemy chooses a high-armor, low-health starting card, this elf might be able to gain the upper hand in a real match.

Even if it's not possible, exchanging one energy for 300 damage isn't really a loss.

Moreover, if his board state is good enough, a single charge might not kill the card, allowing it to retreat and rest until another charge.

Lu Mingfei put the card away and turned his gaze to Rong En beside him.

He was holding the card-making pen, his face and forehead covered in sweat. His hand was manipulating the pen, struggling to draw a not-so-perfect circle.

Then... well, then he stopped, opened the book to find the first transmutation circle, and tried to draw it by copying the example diagram in the book.

Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes—he had already completed the process, but Rong En had only just begun drawing.

Was Rong En watching the card refining process the whole time? If he was just watching, he should have understood it by now, right?

—Lu Mingfei selectively forgot that he needed Spark to understand piano techniques just by looking at them.

"Hmm, this isn't anything special, let's look at something else..." Lu Mingfei shifted his gaze, letting it wander across the entire class.

Thanks to his seat in the corner of the last row, the fact that he had just completed a card was not revealed to the others—after all, unless they turned their heads, the magical radiance could not reach his eyes.

Ashley Inclair did turn her gaze over, but after Lu Mingfei gestured for her to shush, she naturally chose not to make a sound.

After all, this was the son of a hero, and teachers do talk about things, so she naturally already knew about Asmodeus's situation.

Now he has to hide the fact that he has already become a magical spirit... Although I don't know why he wants to hide it, that doesn't stop Asvi from deciding to help him out.

—Aswi Inclair, a five-hundred-year-old sun elf, whose hobby is playing pranks.

After getting rid of the teacher's interference, Lu Mingfei turned his gaze to another person.

Les Kinster.

She and Lu Mingfei exchanged a glance, then she puffed out her cheeks and abruptly turned around, picking up her card-making pen and scribbling on the card. A moment later, another beam of light flashed in the classroom, and a new magic card was born.

Unlike Lu Mingfei's low-key approach, this beam of magical light was at the front of the classroom, visible to all the students making cards. Instantly, the entire class's attention was focused on the front.

—To be more precise, it applies to Les Kinster.

Light converged and fell upon the card. She glanced at the card, and without hesitation, raised her hand to cast a summoning spell:

"In the name of Rais, summon!"

What was summoned was a living, breathing fairy spirit!

This fairy spirit was very small, like a child, with a small, round horn on its forehead and a trailing peacock tail.

As soon as she appeared, she raised her hand and summoned wisps of flame, which then surrounded her body.

"Excellent! We've found a fantastic template for summoning spirits!" Professor Asvi clapped her hands in satisfaction and waved her hand. Chalk immediately floated up, perfectly capturing the image of Lacey's card on the blackboard.

Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes as he looked at the lines of description:

【Wilderness Fairy】

【✪】【100/100/300】

[Race: Fairy] [Attribute: Psychic]

[Ultimate Move: Demonic Fire]

[Demonfire: Fairies can unleash demonfire magic, causing units that pass through the demonfire's area to glow, illuminating the surroundings and breaking their stealth; all attacks against them will be considered ambushes.]

...Does that mean the seemingly intimidating flames actually don't cause any harm?

However, consider it an ambush...

Lu Mingfei seemed to be deep in thought.

In card games like Hearthstone, there's no concept of "missing" when one unit attacks another, but it's different in reality:

Magical spirits can dodge attacks. Although probability is linked to agility, and agility is a hidden value not visible on the card, there is indeed a possibility of missing an attack.

This led to the concepts of "ambush" and "flanking attack," which roughly mean reducing the evasion ability of units that are ambushed or flanked, and reducing the chance of missing.

What Lu Mingfei was pondering was that this "ghost fire" clearly came from the druid spell "ghost fire" (which also appears in the spellbooks of evocation mages, bards, and mechanics), and it popped up on its own when he searched for ghost fire on the entire network.

So, can the Druid Magician Luian in his hand cast this Demon Fire spell?

……

As time passed, Lu Mingfei simply recorded this idea in his memo and then left it at that.

There was nothing he could do. He needed an opportunity to bring people out for testing before he could continue the experiment. But since he sent Louisiana and Jing Shu into the Mirror of Eternity, neither of them had come out.

So he had to put that matter aside for the time being and start working on the land parcels.

Unlike Magical Spirits, 'Land Cards', or 'Field Cards', are genuine advanced content.

How advanced is it? Let's put it this way: at St. Marian, a prestigious institution that specializes in teaching magical techniques, there are plenty of students who graduate without ever having a single field card.

Even for the students here, "successfully creating a venue card" is something that can be put on their resume.

"But is this stuff really that difficult? It doesn't seem so..." Lu Mingfei frowned, quickly going through the refining process in his mind.

Perhaps due to the territorial effect of his growth path, Lu Mingfei felt that the key points recorded in those texts could be vividly rotated in his mind, and he could vividly imagine every refining process—even the subtle feeling of manipulating magic could be reproduced.

But no matter how talented he is, can he compare to those senior students who have studied this field for six years? Even if they don't have the internet, they have time and resources. Even if they try and fail, they can still find a solution, right?

"Or is it that the so-called 'venue card' here is actually different from what I understand as a 'venue sign'?"

Just like how the webpage describes magical spirits using "traits," this description uses "ultimate moves" to describe magical spirits.

"To get to the bottom of this, I'll have to take a look. So, is there anyone who can let me see this venue card...?"

Just then, Lu Mingfei's college card suddenly vibrated.

He pulled it out and saw it was a letter from his teacher—

Professor Lintel invited him to the "Cat Servant Tavern" in Zone C when Traveler's Street opened, and the two had a private talk.
