Netizens Got Excited

"Don't worry, I won't fall for any traps since I know about them in advance," Caroso said, rubbing his temples as he watched the bullet screen analyze Elena's behavior for him.

Honestly, even with the netizens' early warning, he didn't think Elena was that kind of person.

It seems my cultivation is still insufficient.

Compared to Elena, Caroso's trust had clearly shifted towards the netizens.

"Never mind that, I think I need to properly study my card deck," Caroso picked up the course schedule. "We have three days to familiarize ourselves with the campus, and classes won't officially start until after that. The first class is practical combat."

These three days were for students and their families to react.

Many people's first choice of academy wasn't necessarily the one that suited them. Today, through aptitude tests, some people were given the chance to choose again.

These few days were also for students who had re-chosen to notify their families and discuss it with them.

If their families strongly objected, they could then negotiate with the school.

From this perspective, it was quite humane.

[Card deck?]

[Hahahaha... Boss Caro, you're finally going to study your card deck properly!]

[Quick, call Nimel over, we can do some serious work!]

[Is this 'serious work' supposed to be proper?]

[Damn, the characters in our 'underworld' card game always react the same way. Now I really want to know what their expressions are like when they see how 'underworld' our cards are.]

[I especially want to know what my expression is like!]

Speaking of card making, the netizens' enthusiasm was ignited.

Rather than introducing a girlfriend to Caroso, showcasing their own 'underworld' cards was what they wanted to do most.

The game was just a game, and the netizens' cards could only be discussed among themselves for how 'underworld' they were.

But now, it was different. Caroso using cards was in his real world.

[Did you find it? What kind of card deck is suitable for a Third-tier Card Maker?]

[A Third-tier card deck... I used one when I first started playing. Let me check...]

[Don't just think about complete decks. Boss Caro is different; he can even use the cards he makes himself.]

[So, Boss Caro can use the 'underworld' cards for every class?]

[Damn, that's a lot of work for us too.]

[For Baby Caro, we'll do it!]

[We need to consider Boss Caro's actual situation.]

[Right, Boss Caro's materials aren't infinite.]

[Boss Caro, let's go over the materials list first.]

"This..." Caroso frowned. "It's just a normal practical combat test. My practical combat isn't weak."

[Baby Caro, not weak and invincible are two different things!]

[Exactly! Your aptitude has already shocked the entire campus. Don't you want to shock them even more?]

[A powerful card deck can increase your combat power several times over, really!]

"Is it that serious?" Caroso asked. "A card deck is essentially just an auxiliary tool. For example, a three-star blue sword's power in my hands will definitely be different from its power in someone else's hands."

[Baby Caro, you don't know how terrifying our card decks are... Let's put it this way, your Priest card is quite powerful, right? What if your entire deck was made up of cards like that?]

"I think I can still be first in my class using a sword," Caroso said confidently.

[Baby Caro, you can't just think about being first in your class. You have us as your cheat! How can you not challenge higher tiers?]

[That's right. With our card deck, you can even contend with Fourth-tier opponents.]

[Your stamina isn't infinite. If you encounter a tough opponent or need to conserve strength, you'll know how useful our cards are.]

[As the strongest heir of the Kolea family, someone who makes the whole world tremble, you need to protect yourself and grow. You wouldn't want to experience the tragedies we've told you about, would you? Strengthening yourself is always a good thing.]

"But I'm in the growth stage right now. If I rely too much on external forces..." Caroso was still hesitant.

[How can this be considered an external force? You're a card maker, not a warrior.]

[Besides, the tragedies you've experienced all happened during your growth period...]

The last sentence convinced Caroso.

Caroso let out a long sigh and nodded. "Alright, thank you. If you need anything, I will definitely help."

"If any of you have any... lingering regrets? Yes, that's what you call it, right? If there's someone you have regrets about, I'll risk my life to help them."

[Sob sob sob... Baby Caro, you've moved us.]

[Who wouldn't love such an understanding child?]

After communicating with the bullet screen, Caroso tidied himself up and headed to the cafeteria.

He saw Rayne and Elena eating with some people at that moment.

Several tables were pushed together, laden with a lavish spread of food.

If not for the academy's rules against holding banquets outside of special occasions, Rayne would have probably organized one.

"Brother Caroso!" Elena spotted Caroso immediately, as if she had a radar.

Besides Rayne, another man was sitting next to her.

Caroso ignored the other man and walked straight up to Elena.

"Caroso, welcome," Rayne said, standing up and bowing to Caroso.

Seeing this, Caroso returned the bow.

Ever since Caroso entered, all eyes in the cafeteria had fixed on him.

"Is that Caroso Kolea?"

"All his potential is S-rank, isn't that terrifying?"

"I bet he cheated using some extraordinary item."

"Hmph, vanity..."

"To think he'd go to such lengths for Kolea's reputation. Doesn't he realize this will only damage Kolea's prestige?"

Some believed in Caroso's potential, while others didn't.

To Caroso, these rumors meant nothing; he would prove everyone wrong with facts.

"Brother Caroso, please sit, let's eat together," Elena chirped excitedly.

Caroso flashed a friendly smile. "We're friends, right?"

Elena's pretty face flushed. Was Caroso here to stake his claim?

She had been chatting happily with another Duke's son, but his qualifications paled in comparison to Caroso's.

Elena only wanted a casual interaction with the other man; her primary target was still Caroso.

"Mhm..." Elena nodded, covering her face.

[Boss Caro, didn't you say you wouldn't fall for her charms?]

[Don't get involved with her, she's not a good person!]

[She's a royal, so the chance of her being possessed is extremely low!]

[Baby Caro, be good, ignore her, let's go back.]

"Since you're here, let's eat together. There's an empty seat over there," the man beside Elena said, standing up and pointing to a seat further away.

"I'm not here to eat," Caroso shook his head. "Elena, I need your help."
