Eight o'clock in the evening in Ikelite, the lights on both sides of the street dotted the city like stars, bringing an elegant and peaceful atmosphere.

While the large shopping mall in Hutton Walking Plaza was still open, the three first went to buy some daily necessities.

After putting the things back home, Talia followed Lanqi and Hyperion to the Sage Academy dormitory building of Ikelite Academy.

After Hyperion packed a change of clothes that would last her two weeks at Talia's house, and walked out carrying the suitcase, Talia took Hyperion away.

Watching them walk away on the quiet road under the campus lights.

Lanqi turned around and walked towards his dormitory.

If he didn't have to give the "Great Love Poet" to Hyperion, Lanqi would have been fine on his own with "Radiant Virtue" and "Wonderful Notes" in hand.

He'd find Frey later; Frey must have prepared the board games. If the president's work wasn't so busy, he'd probably be called by Frey to play together.

With Hyperion's matter perfectly resolved, Lanqi felt that next would be a carefree and wonderful campus life!

His mood became extremely relaxed, and even the autumn night air became much fresher.

Usually, when he's in such a good state, he's very inspired.

Lanqi hadn't touched the card-making tools for several days, and he had just returned from the Shadow World this morning.

He felt a long-lost unfamiliarity, and a bit of nostalgia.

"It's time to practice card-making, can't be lazy and waste time."

Lanqi walked in the corridor of the dormitory and stretched hard.

While still in his dormitory, with the condition of a card-making workshop, he couldn't wait to study card-making.

Before going to the Northern Continent for the "Finding Slate Holders Project" during the winter vacation, he had to make the magic card with [Wolf King Proud Heart] as the core material, so that he could become a seal master who could bring warmth to everyone, breaking people's cold inherent impression of the seal masters headed by the Bishops of Oblivion.

This was his responsibility and goal.

Thinking, Lanqi had already walked to the door of dormitory 101.

He opened the door of the dormitory, turned on the light, and went straight to the card-making workshop, which was transformed from a spacious storage room.

Since Lanqi installed a barrier with protection and sound insulation functions in the workshop, the same as Talia's room, he no longer worried about disturbing other students.

Walking into the workshop, there were strange bottles and jars everywhere, filled with various herbs and mineral crystal powders.

Ancient blueprints and scrolls were piled layer upon layer on the long workbench, and instruments and props were neatly arranged on one side.

He simply cleaned up, and tools such as card-making magic pens, carving knives, tweezers, and small hammers appeared in front of him one by one.

Then he put on a work coat and prepared to start his card-making research.

First, Lanqi chose the material for the card.

He didn't plan to make advanced magic cards this time, just for practice and experiments with new ideas.

He took out a stack of blank magic cards from the drawer, and after quickly preparing, he dipped into a bottle of prepared dark red magic ink and began to draw runes on the paper.

Every stroke and every line of his technique was steady and precise. At the same time, he chose a deep red mineral powder, interspersed it in the steps, carefully sprinkled it on the card, and then carefully carved it with a carving knife and a small brush.

More than ten minutes passed, and he was still working intently.

However, the structure of the card gradually became unstable, as if sparks were jumping and hovering on the card.

Immediately afterwards, the runes on the card were really ignited, flashing with fire, and the explosion accompanied by a violent tremor in the workshop resounded loudly!

As always.

His card-exploding skill was still so powerful.

Because he was in an exceptionally relaxed mood now, the explosions were more casual.

"Continue!"

Lanqi was not discouraged, and even showed a relieved smile, rolled up his sleeves, and started making again.

Next.

Every time the magic card in his hand exploded, his shadow would shake violently in the firelight.

As if his shadow was afraid of him.

Even Lanqi didn't notice the sense of disharmony in his shadow.

He just exploded more and more enthusiastically, like playing with fireworks. It seemed that exploding like this was right. What he wanted was the greatest power!

Until an explosion engulfed the entire card-making workshop in flames, almost breaking through the protective barrier, and shaking the bottles and jars on the cabinet, Lanqi finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Great!"

Lanqi raised his hands and cheered. The experiment was currently progressing in a successful direction!

Then he planned to strike while the iron was hot and try again.

However.

His originally calm shadow finally trembled violently after noticing his movements.

"Meow meow meow! Who makes cards like you!"

A cat jumped out of Lanqi's shadow like separated ink. Its fur stood on end and it shouted at him with its limbs upright.

It seemed really scared.

There's a terrorist here doing building demolition experiments!

"Eh!"

Lanqi was also taken aback.

How could a cat jump out of his shadow!

"You are..."

After Lanqi calmed down a little, he sat on the chair in confusion, looking at the little black cat on the ground.

Lanqi felt that it was not an enemy.

Because its rank must be very high to be able to hide in his shadow all the way without being discovered by him.

And Talia must have discovered it long ago, but didn't catch it out, indicating that it should be harmless.

"I'm Cat Boss, you always go to my shop, meow."

The little black cat reported its identity with lingering fear.

"Cats can also cook?"

Lanqi was shocked.

If his cat could cook him three dishes and one soup, his happiness index would be unimaginably high.

"Watch me, meow."

The little black cat shook its paws triumphantly, and suddenly the things on Lanqi's table floated up a little.

It knows force magic, which is also the only magic it is good at, but because it is too weak, it is basically not lethal.

In addition, the magic of sneaking into shadows is its talent.

It can be said to be the weakest seventh-order, bar none.

"Do you have something to ask me?"

Lanqi naturally picked up the little black cat and asked, looking at it gently.

"Uh... I want to stroll around Ikelite Academy, meow."

Cat Boss looked away, telling a lie.

It didn't expect this teenager to be so accepting, without exploring it much, and without blaming it for secretly following him without permission and breaking into his home.

Cat Boss was actually very worried that Lanqi was a scumbag who deceived Tata, so it decided to observe the character of this teenager.

It likes sweet love and is also a matchmaker angel.

No one knows more about being a matchmaker than it does!

Unfortunately, it was discovered immediately.

It's too weak...

"Is that so? It's getting late today, do you want to stay here with me? I'll take you around the campus tomorrow."

Lanqi's clear emerald green pupils were full of kindness as he said to the little black cat.

As a truly good student, he must show the best appearance of the school to every visitor, which is also his obligation and responsibility.

"Can I?"

Cat Boss found that this teenager was surprisingly easy to talk to!

So pure and friendly, like a little angel, no wonder Tata would be willing to accept him.

Moreover, the closer it gets to this human, the more inexplicably it feels close, and it feels so safe by his side that it wants to fall asleep...

"Of course."

Lanqi replied with a smile.

Tomorrow he will just be receiving the international friend Adams, helping Dean Loren with matchmaking, doing great things, and showing Cat Boss a thing or two.

He didn't know if Cat Boss liked to see him help people make marriages.
