NOVPUBThe nightfall of Ichrite had already set in, and the curtain on Lanci’s dormitory balcony made the living room already quite dim. Only the light inside the Cardmaking Workshop was soft and warm.
On such a night, everything in the Cardmaking Workshop seemed even more serene and smooth.
Lanci kept picking up and putting down the tools in his hands, cooperating with the Great Love Poet. Both of them had reached an indescribable state of calmness.
On Lanci’s work desk, an unfinished semi-transparent Magic Card was continuously radiating dangerous light arcs, unable to maintain a stable structure, and twisted under high pressure.
Previously, every time he made a Magic Card, this phenomenon would occur just before the Magic Card was about to explode.
But even under these circumstances, Lanci remained indifferent to its mutations, proceeding with the final steps, blocking the Magic Card’s magic circuit, and final debugging and encapsulation.
Resolutely, he did not give up on this Magic Card, which was on the verge of collapse or was already irreparable. He linked the numerous magic inscriptions he and the Great Love Poet had engraved throughout the day, forming a complete magic operation cycle, allowing the Magic Card to keep operating after it’s charged with the user’s Mana.
Although the cardmaking seemed to be getting closer to success, it was actually heading toward a dead end.
This card was already faulty from previous steps, evident from its unstable structure.
Normally, such seriously erroneous failures should be abandoned and exploded immediately, but Lanci kept pushing forward.
Trying to recover such a structure, allowing it to operate smoothly without exploding, was almost impossible.
If the situation cannot be contained, the destructiveness of the card explosion will far exceed any previous occurrence.
The Cat boss outside the workshop widened his eyes.
it finally understood.
Instead of saying that Lanci was saving this Magic Card, he seemed to be constantly throwing dangerous fuel into a volcano that was about to erupt!
He seems to have deliberately studied card explosions during that previous period!
He wanted to trigger a card explosion.
He aimed to develop the highest destructive power of Magic Card, destroying the principles of Magic Engineering.
All for the sake of using it on the card today!
"Meow meow meow! I am not playing with you anymore."
The Cat boss was almost scared to death.
Curiosity had kept it watching Lanci’s card-making from outside the Cardmaking Workshop.
It didn’t dare to imagine if the card exploded, whether it would shatter the whole protective enchantment.
It dared not stay in Lanci’s home for a single second longer, leaping from the balcony and hiding under a distant tree from the Sage Academy, gazing at the window of Lanci’s dormitory.
Inside the Cardmaking Workshop, the Great Love Poet was still looking at the Magic Card intensely and focusing on helping Lanci complete the last life-risking step.
"Lanci, what if the reaction can’t be stopped?"
The Great Love Poet asked softly.
According to her judgment, the whole protective barrier is enough to prevent the explosion from affecting other rooms, but the intricate spell that protects the Cardmaker is not enough to safeguard Lanci. It may even destroy the entire Cardmaking Workshop due to a violent explosion under high pressure.
If Lanci dies, she will also disappear with him.
As a craftsman, she was never afraid of death. In fact, when it comes to persistence, she is many times crazier than Lanci.
What she’s questioning Lanci about was actually the possibility of the card being successfully made, which might be more dangerous than the card failing.
The new Magic Card explosive principle that Lanci used could produce a chain reaction, triggering another Magic Card’s explosion under certain conditions.
If the temperature, pressure, and time reached a certain level, the energy produced could make this Magic Spell work again, maintaining a new Magic Card explosion. Lanci called this situation self-sustaining card explosion, and he even successfully experimented with chain explosions.
The Magic Card itself is an excellent explosive material. Once it is returned to the unfinished state from a stable state, unable for usage, it becomes a potential explosive.
At extremely high temperature and pressure, combined with the chain spell Lanci had developed from repeated card explosions, it could potentially trigger a chain explosion of Magic Cards.
If it can’t be stopped, it might lead to unpredictable consequences!
"..."
However, Lanci’s turquoise pupils reflected a hint of melancholy. It seemed like he had already thought it through.
"Humans always imagine the future, a future that should make people afraid."
"But most people are not afraid because they can’t understand its underlying implications."
With inscriptions constantly on his mind, he muttered quietly.
Hearing his words, the Great Love Poet didn’t say anything and began to cooperate wholeheartedly for the last time.
Although Lanci’s idea has bi-characteristics, she agreed with it.
It was both the love and peace Lanci desired.
As well as the terrifying balance she enjoyed.
Perhaps they were both too focused, the dramatic transformation of the card in their hands didn’t attract their attention, until the moment the final forming and disintegration happened, neither of them showed any hesitation.
Before they could react, a flash of intense light had already burst out. It lit up the entire Cardmaking Workshop in an instant, spreading waves of rampaging magic power in circles.
All of a sudden, several magic tools in the workshop exploded one after another!
In the fierce flames and booming noises, things gradually settled and quieted down ...
...
"Who’s renovating again?"
"At the start of the semester, there was some jerk who made loud noises, and now it starts again!"
Students walked out onto the balconies of Sage Academy dormitory building, leaning against the railing and complaining.
"..."
In the garden outside the dorm, Cat boss who was hiding behind the large tree protruded his head.
He sensed that Lanci’s workshop had exploded, but it wasn’t as severe as he had imagined, although the sound insulation enchantment seemed to have been blown up.
"It really exploded, didn’t it..." 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
The little black cat was covering its ears, which was still lying on the ground earlier.
"What a pity those materials are. They must be worth a lot of money..."
Especially that silver heart-shaped material, it was quite certain that this was not something that could be acquired by money or measured by value.
After confirming there won’t be continued explosions at Lanci’s workshop, it hurried back. If Lanci was injured, it had to help him immediately.
It can’t lose the human it is taking care of!
The little black cat quickly dashed to the balcony of Lanci’s dormitory, slipped in through the window seam, and then familiarly reached the door of Cardmaking Workshop.
However, it was astonished and it widened its cat eyes.
Behind the workbench in the Cardmaking Workshop, Lanci and the Great Love Poet both slumped on their respective sides of the couch, looking exhausted.
In front of them, a finished Magic Card was floating in the air!
It was a highly unstable Orange Magic Card, the shape seemed uncertain, and it could cause a violent explosion at any moment.
"Or... Orange Epic?"
The Cat boss had a total brain freeze.
"Let me see what’s so great about this card."
The Great Love Poet mustered some strength from her lazy state to sit up a bit.
Although she participated in making this card, she was very sure she was the most incredible Magic Card.
When she tried to touch it, she pulled back her hand as if she had touched flaming fire, hollering in pain.
"It’s best not to touch this Magic Card."
Seeing the Great Love Poet rolling around on the sofa, Lanci shook his head with a helpless smile,
"It is the sealing skill of true warm sunshine."
He turned his head, smiled at the Magic Card as if not afraid of the pain, and grabbed it.
