Lanchi's Humanity is Being Coveted

On the Ilyavin Great Plains.

"Uh... didn't they say artificial Shadow Worlds weren't dangerous?"

Lanchi muttered to himself, looking worriedly at Ferrat who was lying motionless on the ground in the distance.

It seemed he had hit too hard.

According to Lanchi's plan, the more opportunities Hughberlian could create for Ferrat to get angry, the greater their chances of winning.

But Lanchi had never practiced this kind of fighting style before.

He wasn't sure how angry he needed to make Ferrat before he could use the [Poet of Great Love] to make Ferrat instantly go from furious to not angry at all.

So Lanchi had only asked Hughberlian to stall as much as possible.

That way, it would be safer.

He hadn't expected the power of [Poet of Great Love] to be so terrifying.

Detected severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular damage in examiner Ferrat beyond the artificial Shadow World's protection program. Emergency transfer measures will be taken immediately...

Along with the prompt that suddenly appeared in the sky above the Shadow World, Ferrat's figure on the ground was teleported out of the artificial Shadow World.

At the same time, Teacher Theresa, who was in charge of scheduling in the examination hall, was anxiously wringing her hands and stomping her feet.

After observing Ferrat's condition, she had immediately contacted the medical team from the Alchemy Institute. They were already on their way to the examination hall with a stretcher.

Most healing magic spells were geared towards external injuries.

Internal injuries that weren't pathologically complex could also be treated with advanced magic.

But a cerebral hemorrhage, she really couldn't treat that.

It required a specialized doctor to perform surgery and rescue Ferrat.

"Student Lanchi... and here I was worried you'd be troubled by Ferrat..."

Theresa covered her face with her hands and muttered to herself, her voice full of despair.

It turned out she had worried about the wrong victim.

She didn't know how to evaluate the young man who had so frankly told her he was a "White Mage" when he enrolled.

Thinking about how Lanchi would study at the Sage Institute in the future, or even join the Healing Mage Department, Theresa felt that the school's reputation was going to be ruined.

Lanchi might single-handedly change the connotation of the term "Healing Mage."

Even in the entire history of Healing Mages, he would be a significant figure.

The conference room in the Sage Institute was neat and solemn, with long tables arranged around a large circular Magic Screen in the center.

Several crystal lamps hung from the ceiling, and the carefully polished details on the walls and neutral color scheme made the entire space bright and comfortable.

But at this moment.

The conference room had fallen into chaotic discussion.

"Just got the latest news from the exam hall. Ferrat was driven to a brain hemorrhage by Lanchi."

"His set of Magic Cards is truly something else!"

"If you get worked up by that kid, you're finished. He'll make you lose control of yourself instantly."

"But if you were in Ferrat's position, who could guarantee they wouldn't be provoked by him?"

"..."

Everyone understood the logic.

But even though everyone now knew that Lanchi provoking his enemies was a deliberate tactic...

If they really had to face Lanchi, no one could say for sure if they could keep themselves under control...

Lanchi even had a mysterious Tier 1 Magic Card he hadn't used at the end.

Who knew if it was an even more infuriating card! And what other tormenting methods Lanchi would come up with in the future!

"As an opponent, you either kill Lanchi directly, or even if you're held back by him or his teammates, you must maintain an unwavering inner state before killing him."

Vice Principal Ron commented, reviewing the assessment.

With the [Poet of Great Love] card as Lanchi's core trump card, facing him, various emotions other than "anger," including "surprise," "sorrow," and "joy," could also be fatal.

And clearly, Lanchi himself was very skilled at manipulating the enemy's mind, causing them to fall into some extreme emotion, and then letting it become unstoppable like a rolling stone down a mountain.

"Generally, those who like to toy with the enemy's mind are the most evil members of the Demon Race, a tactic they favored during the Demon Race's nation-destroying holy wars."

Witnessing the replay of the decisive battle on the Magic Screen, a teacher couldn't help but sigh.

"How about we check his humanity status again?"

Immediately, another teacher proposed this idea.

Vice Principal Ron shook his head.

"There's no need to do something so disrespectful to a student. His race was verified upon enrollment."

"Lanchi's card, which doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, is something even the Demon Race wouldn't dare to use carelessly, because the Demon Race's desires are precisely their weakness. When infinitely amplified, it's equivalent to self-destruction."

"Unless the user is someone with a mind as clear and still as a mirror, they cannot be affected."

Ron sighed.

It was clear that Lanchi was someone with this kind of unsolvable mindset. His disposition was indeed remarkably optimistic and composed.

No matter what situation he encountered, he had never shown the slightest wavering.

The teachers present could only nod helplessly.

Although it was difficult to define the strength of Lanchi, who was currently only Tier 2, they knew that no one would want to face Lanchi after he grew.

His lower limit was close to zero, but his upper limit was also terrifyingly high.

For example, in this exam, with the increased difficulty, Lanchi and Hughberlian not only passed but also achieved the special clear condition of defeating the examiner, which was bound to earn them extremely high scores.

Vice Principal Ron knew that Hughberlian, Lanchi's temporary teammate this time, was not the most compatible with Lanchi.

If Lanchi really found a teammate with perfect compatibility, it would probably be an unimaginable disaster...

Thinking of this, Vice Principal Ron couldn't help but take off his glasses and rummage through the freshman forms from the Knight Institute.

When he found one page, he took a deep breath.

It seemed their school had recruited a pair of hidden talents this year...

In Phantom Canyon, along with the message that the test was passed, Lanchi breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed he hadn't broken the artificial Shadow World terminal this time.

But this terminal did have significant hidden dangers. What did they mean by "no life-threatening danger"? Didn't he just find one?

Presumably, the professors at the Magic Engineering Institute would be very grateful to him, a freshman from the Sage Institute, for helping the Magic Engineering Institute eliminate a safety hazard.

"I'll go back outside first."

Hughberlian, far away, waved tiredly at Lanchi and exited the artificial Shadow World test environment first.

Compared to Lanchi, who was completely unharmed, she had suffered many injuries and was not feeling well. Only by exiting the artificial Shadow World could she recover from her injuries.

Lanchi nodded in the direction where Hughberlian disappeared.

Then he glanced at the Epic-level summon – the [Poet of Great Love].

The reason he couldn't directly exit the artificial Shadow World was that he had to recall all his Magic Cards before he could pass through the Void Gate.

Seeing this little demon summon that looked extremely similar to Talia, Lanchi couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

When he collaborated with Talia to create this card using the [Poem of Compassion], he was the one who handled the drawing step.

To make this card as perfect as possible, he naturally used the drawing method he was best at –

Directly imitating Talia's appearance to give the summon its image!

Moreover, the main Card Maker of this Summoning Card was Talia, and there was a deep bond between them.

Using her image to shape the card unexpectedly achieved an inexplicable level of compatibility.

Even though Talia was surprised and angry about it in the end.

But in order not to ruin this astonishing work that was about to be born, and for the huge card-making reward Lanchi promised her, she still forcibly endured it.
