The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

So there's really no need for Dekan to take up a spot.

In any case, he went to visit Tristine Magic Academy as a special guest of the Card Makers Association.

Professor Arno couldn't help but feel a sense of pride for Dekan.

Even if this guy is the most monstrous student he has ever met.

"By the way, do you have a list of the students visiting this time?"

"Dekan asked."

If his half-sister Mia were on his team, it would be pretty good.

Although the two drug addicts are highly compatible in research, Dekan has never tried to cause trouble with her.

Wait, that's not right.

He wasn't there to cause trouble.

He went there to make a visit and, in addition, to secretly maintain peace.

“I don’t have a specific list here, but I know that Princess Alice is going, so a seventh-rank knight will be escorting you this time.”

Professor Arnold was certain that the trip was very safe because Alice was among the group.

Therefore, with an additional seventh-rank knight commander as a guard, even if the Church of Resurrection dares to attack, they will surely be able to repel it.

In addition, the city of Tristan also attached great importance to receiving Her Highness the Princess.

Therefore, all accompanying personnel will receive the same level of security.

There is virtually no chance of danger.

If there were a truly insurmountable danger, even a full three-person team wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Hmm... then I'll go by myself."

Dekan rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment before saying this.

The Church of Resurrection has now added another possibility to its list of targets.

However, the probability is low.

If a member of the royal family is kidnapped, the king will never compromise with the kidnappers; instead, he will become a mad dog and relentlessly hunt them down.

This is an unwritten rule of the Norton royal family.

Regardless of the goals of the Resurrected Church.

Since the resurrected church has harbored treacherous intentions.

Nadekan then decided to meet with the Church of Resurrection.

Bringing Cornelia and Chloe might actually discourage the Church of Resurrection from joining.

It would be bad to scare the fish away.

Dekan was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to disrupt the plans that the Resurrection Church had painstakingly developed with enormous human and material resources.

Also.

Morion was able to deal with the Resurrected Cult members all by himself.

That's fine too.

Sometimes it's like that; men have a strange competitive spirit.

"Dekan, I have great faith in your talent, but please don't find me long-winded. You must not offend the Ice Princess."

Professor Arno, seeing Dekan deep in thought, couldn't help but give him another instruction.

"Alright, you can rest assured. I'm always prudent in my actions."

Dekan snapped out of his daze, and a bright smile returned to his face.

His interest deepened, and he could hardly hide his anticipation for the trip.

"Now that you've said that, I'm going to have a hard time sleeping..."

Professor Arnold covered his forehead, not wanting to see Dekan again.

He already had a bad feeling.

At last.

After Chairman Leilen handed over some tickets and documents to Dekan, Dekan bid farewell to the two men and left the office.

"Arno, why do you look so gloomy?"

President Raylen observed Professor Arno's distressed expression and couldn't help but chuckle.

"I hope I'm overthinking it."

Professor Arno let out a long sigh and stood up.

I'm getting ready to leave the office with Raylen.

"Don't worry, I think Dekan is always well-mannered and polite in the real world. He's a good young man."

"......Too."

Dekan was the one who caused Arnold the most trouble, but he was also the top student that Arnold liked the most.

However, this is the first time that Dekan has been sent abroad.

Professor Arno wasn't sure if Dekan would give him a big job.

Hopefully, Dekan will at least behave himself in the mortal realm.

......

Monday morning.

Before dawn, pale golden light shone into Dekan's room through the morning twilight.

A few crows seemed to fly by outside the window, their sharp cries cutting through the sky, which made Dekan, who had just woken up, feel particularly comfortable.

It looks like something good is going to happen today.

After making thorough preparations, Dekan shouldered his pack and set off immediately!

He feels like he's been on a high-intensity vacation lately.

My experience living at the college can only be described as perfect.

Dekan originally planned to bring the cat teacher along, but then he thought about Cornelia having to face a week of classes alone.

I'm worried she might not be used to it.

So Dekan assigned Teacher Cat an important task—

Spend more time with Cornelia these next few days.

However, now that Flora is playing with Cornelia, she shouldn't be lonely.

Hmm, I'm starting to worry again that Flora might lead her to skip class...

Dekan shook his head.

Forget it, I don't want to.

He believed in Cornelia's perseverance.

Dekan arrived at the Alchemy Institute's school building ahead of time, which was also the agreed meeting point for the visiting team from the academy.

Students were already waiting there.

Dekan spotted his familiar friend Mir immediately.

They quickly greeted each other and went over.

“I was worried I wouldn’t have any acquaintances this time, Mia, it’s so good to have you here. Oh, and Princess Alice too.”

"Humph."

Mier smiled without saying a word, leaving the conversation to Alice and Dekan.

Alice, however, avoided eye contact and awkwardly hummed in response.

She only found out yesterday that Dekan would also be joining their team.

Although the purposes of our visits are different, we will travel together on the way there and back.

“Your Highness Alice, please don’t hold my childish actions against me. I have always been taught by my teachers that true masters have the heart of a student. So that day I was indeed humbly seeking your guidance.”

Dekan rarely had the chance to chat with Alice.

I think we should take this opportunity to help her resolve her inner conflict.

Dekan felt genuinely guilty for scaring Alice into fainting in Mir's dorm room last time.

"Were you really not laughing at me back then?"

Alice will never forget the smile that Dekan gave her at the Card Makers' Guild that made her feel utterly ashamed.

Later, Dekan's smiling face would often appear in her nightmares.

"Huh? What are you talking about? I made a good card, of course I'm smiling."

Dekan looked puzzled.

"..."

Alice was skeptical of Dekan's explanation.

Although Dekan now seems incredibly sincere.

However, Alice witnessed Dekan's conquest of the Shadow World.

This person's acting skills are so controlled and natural, it's like a mask that's always on his face; you can't believe a single word he says!

But you don't trust me, and I don't trust you, so we'll never trust each other.

After hesitating for a long time, she sighed.

"Alright, alright, I believe you. Actually, I wasn't really blaming you; it's just that I was so embarrassing..."

Alice said helplessly.
