The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Just stick with the big shots and play support, and you'll have it easy.

As for the choice of the "big brother" (a person who plays a crucial role)...

Dekan couldn't help but look at Cornelia beside him.

Cornelia may only be a third-tier character, but her strength is comparable to that of a fourth-tier character.

If Dekan teams up with her, they will likely be matched into a second or third-tier Shadow World.

They could be described as an unruly and domineering duo.

perfect.

"Please be sure to study the materials distributed carefully. It's a good time to consider your elective subjects. Today's assembly is now adjourned!"

Having finished discussing the important matters, Professor Arnold left the classroom decisively.

Dekan tidied up his books and materials and prepared to leave.

However, he noticed that Cornelia seemed troubled, crumpling the documents in her hand.

If you apply any more force, this document might be reduced to scraps of paper.

"what happened?"

"Dekan asked."

"number......"

Cornelia, bad at math.

For navigating the Shadow World and using magic cards, mathematics is the most fundamental and extremely important element.

But she really isn't very good at math.

She almost failed the written test during the initial screening.

In addition, she didn't know which elective courses to choose.

She considered not choosing any special skill and just focusing on the Shadow World.

It would be great to find a teammate who is good at studying.

After all, most of the worlds in the shadows cannot be traversed by brute force.

Intelligent characters tend to survive longer than physically strong characters.

However, it seemed that none of the martial artists were doing very well in their studies, and she didn't know anyone from the other three academies.

She felt somewhat distressed.

Dekan: "Teach".

Cornelia: "Good?"

Dekan: "When."

Cornelia: "Food?"

Dekan: "Let's go."

Cornelia's mood instantly improved.

Communication between intelligent people is that simple and unpretentious.

......

Dekan and Cornelia left the classroom together.

They attracted the attention of many students along the way.

It turns out that these two not only sit together in the classroom, but also hang out together after school.

If they were in another college, they would definitely give people the impression of a perfect match.

They became the most talked-about topic of gossip when everyone first started school.

but.

What can I say about these two people?

The two most dangerous freshmen of the Knights Academy have formed an alliance.

It has a... gang-like feel to it.

It only makes people feel scared.

......

Dekan and Cornelia found a restaurant that served a European-style buffet.

Unsure of each other's preferences or how hungry they were, the two agreed to choose this restaurant.

These kinds of restaurants usually take a slightly excessive amount of food towards the end, so Dekan didn't take too much.

Cornelia didn't get much either.

The two ate in a relatively quiet manner.

Neither of them are the type to chat while eating.

Dekan was full very quickly.

He glanced at Cornelia, who was already sitting opposite him waiting for him, and asked, "Have you finished eating?"

"Ah."

What are your plans for elective courses?

"All of them, fight, fight the Shadow World."

"Together?"

"Okay, okay."

Cornelia didn't know how well Dekan was doing in his studies, but she was sure he was doing better than her.

He must be a very quick-witted person.

And most importantly, she acknowledges Dekan's ability.

Cornelia: "Next, where to?"

Dekan: "The library, perhaps."

Cornelia: "Together?"

Dekan: "Okay."

012 Dekan decided to help her craft some equipment.

Cornelia doesn't really like libraries.

I can say that I rarely come to this place.

However, if I want to avoid failing any courses in the future, it seems I'll have to learn more from Dekan.

They sat on either side of a small round table.

Dekan originally planned to finish reading the book before discussing the Shadow World strategy with Cornelia.

But when he looked up, he found Cornelia sitting quietly opposite him with her eyes closed.

She had been reading for a while, but seemed to have a headache, so she put the book back.

Then I sat quietly and began to meditate.

Dekan discovered that she was very good at calming down.

This is also her qualification as a top martial artist.

She simply doesn't like studying.

Dekan tapped the table lightly.

Cornelia quickly opened her eyes and focused her gaze on Dekan's face.

Dekan: "Look at your card."

Cornelia took out several magic cards from her pocket and handed them to Dekan.

Then I watched him quietly.

Dekan stroked the cards, frowning as he looked at them.

Cornelia uses only Tier 3 white common cards, which have relatively poor attributes.

Her preferred weapon appears to be a sword.

Because all of these cards are the same mass-produced swords.

"damage......"

Cornelia said somewhat shyly.

"I understand."

Dekan nodded and returned the cards to Cornelia.

Dekan had already guessed why Cornelia was carrying so many unskilled swords.

If the equipment summoned by the equipment card is destroyed, it cannot be used again until it is repaired by a repairman.

Cornelia's brute force seems to frequently break weapons.

Weapons were like consumables to her.

Furthermore, due to her limited magical power and the fact that she might need to summon her weapon several times during a single battle.

Therefore, she didn't bring any body-enhancing spell cards, and she didn't need summoning cards either.

Magic cards are divided into three categories: summoning cards, spell cards, and equipment cards.

The mana cost is: Summoning Cards > Spell Cards > Equipment Cards.

The combat system also diversified into: Summoner, Mage, and Warrior.
