The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

“Mr. Dekan, would you please come with us to see Chairman Raylen?”

Even though the examiner was a sixth-level card maker, he was quite polite to Dekan at this moment.

Because of Dekan, he will become a top-tier card maker.

Those who pass the exam can collect their corresponding licenses from the certification hall on the third floor.

However, they don't have the items for a master card maker readily available here!

It must be reviewed and produced by headquarters.

The specific details still need to be discussed between the president and Dekan.

The prestige of the title "Special Grade" cannot be described by class.

They were also very self-aware, knowing exactly where Dekan would end up, so from now on they treated Dekan with exceptional respect.

"no problem."

"Please come with us."

"it is good."

......

Dekan followed several examiners through the internal passage and left the examination room.

Next, the examiner led Dekan up the floating staircase to the sixth floor.

It is also the top floor of this building.

The sixth floor was rarely visited, and Dekan was led to the door of the most conspicuous office.

The examiner knocked gently on the door, and after receiving a response from the person inside, he pushed open the heavy door and gestured for Dekan to enter.

An elderly man was sitting in the extravagantly spacious office.

The old man looked to be over sixty, but his back was straight and his eyes gleamed with intelligence.

He was wearing the highest-grade association uniform, with a few gray hairs hanging down in front of his eyes, and a faint smile on his face.

The other party was clearly the branch president of the Card Makers Association in the Kingdom of Norton.

To Dekan's surprise, before he could even walk over, the chairman stood up and walked around the desk to shake his hand.

This made Dekan feel somewhat flattered.

"Dekan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello, Chairman Lei Lun."

Dekan noticed that there were seven purple stars printed on the chest of the other person's uniform.

The other party is clearly a seventh-level first-class card maker.

He's a real big shot.

Even a seventh-tier expert, in a clerical position, is terrifying.

Swinging a hammer and instantly killing a third or fourth-tier enemy is no problem.

After inviting Dekan to sit on the sofa, Raylen said, "First of all, congratulations on becoming a top-level card maker in the Card Makers Association. This is a lifelong honor, but the review process is also very complicated, so you may need to attend at least one review meeting next."

"The top-level card maker is the highest-ranking core member of our association. No matter what, the association will always be there for you."

"I cannot issue you your badge and uniform license for the time being, because top-grade symbolic items need to be reviewed and approved by headquarters before they can be specially made for you."

Dekan was stunned. He hadn't expected that making a Tier 3 Epic card would earn him such amazing treatment.

Although he had heard of the Special Grade Card Makers, the Card Makers Association rarely publicized the mechanisms and privileges of Special Grade Card Makers, so he didn't know much about them.

"So, what am I now...?"

Dekan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You will temporarily gain the rights of a Tier 3, Level 1 Card Maker until you pass the review."

"That's good."

Dekan felt that the Card Makers Association's coordination was quite good.

Although the review process may sound cumbersome, the mechanism is reasonable.

"Is the censorship process difficult?"

“I haven’t heard of any top-tier card makers being harassed during investigations. Uh… if it were you, headquarters might conduct an extra investigation into whether you have any connection with the Church of Resurrection, because your card-making style is really… even better than their archbishop’s.”

President Leilen seemed increasingly uncertain as he spoke.

He had also heard of Dekan's glorious deeds in ravaging the world of film.

And his crooked and unorthodox cards.

"..."

Dekan fell silent for a moment.

It feels like my package is going to be stuck in traffic for a long time.

Moreover, he suddenly has a strong desire to eradicate the Church of Resurrection.

It is because of the existence of this group of people that innocent citizens like myself are misunderstood as cult priests!

"Don't worry about Dekan, I will actively communicate with headquarters for you. You will definitely become the thirteenth top-level card maker among all registered card makers on the entire continent! And the second top-level card maker in the Kingdom of Norton!"

Raylen was clearly very excited that the Kingdom of Norton had two top-tier card makers.

"Even if I'm only at the third rank, can I still be considered on par with the other twelve?"

"The title of 'Special Grade' will not change no matter what rank you have reached it in, or even if your rank is raised later."

Leiren explained to Dekan.

If you take the third-tier exam at the fourth-tier rank, the cards you make will be considered third-tier regardless of their quality.

To achieve a second-class or higher rating, you must create a card of equal rank.

First-class and second-class honors are also a kind of honor.

This means that it is possible to produce high-quality cards of the same level.

The top grade completely surpasses the other three regular grade concepts; it is a symbol of the absolute strength of a card maker.

Those who can create epic cards are basically already renowned card makers.

Card makers who can create epic cards of the same tier are extremely rare!

047 Dekan's Repayment

"Although the timing of reaching the Special Grade varies for other Special Grades, it is quite rare to reach the Special Grade below the fifth rank."

Raylen couldn't help but sigh.

Dekan: "Shouldn't it be harder to craft epic quality spell cards of higher tiers?"

Leiren: "That's right. But the higher the rank, the harder it is to advance your rank. You might only stay at the third rank for a short period of a year, but you might stay at the seventh rank for decades."

Dekan nodded.

In the early stages, leveling up is fast, but skills may not keep up with one's rank.

Later on, when you can no longer level up, you gradually accumulate knowledge over time.

Of course, all of this applies to talented card makers.

Without talent, one might never even be able to create a purple-quality card in their entire life.

For the next hour, Raylen answered Dekan's questions.

Dekan also gained a considerable understanding of the master card makers and the association's upper echelons.

Once Dekan passes the review, he becomes a formal master cardmaker.

At that time, the Card Makers Association will not charge Dekan any service fees or handling fees, and he will be given a fixed and large quota of all basic materials every year.

Furthermore, when purchasing high-rarity materials, Dekan will receive substantial guarantees from the association.

That means you can buy on credit!

In addition, Dekan will be eligible to attend the special session as an observer.

The status of a top-level card maker is equivalent to the highest level of the Card Maker Association.

However, one needs to reach at least the sixth-rank special grade to have the right to vote.

Of course, there are also some scattered, very prestigious privileges.

......

"By the way, Guild Master, could you keep an eye out for Demon-type Epic materials of Tier 6 or higher for me?"

Dekan felt that the conversation had gone on long enough, but then remembered that he had another important matter to attend to at the Card Makers Association today.

Originally, I just planned to register my purchase intentions.

But now it seems that he might be able to ask President Raylen for a lot of help.

What do you need this material for?

President Leilen asked with some doubt.

Even for a seventh-tier card maker like him, it's difficult to handle sixth-tier epic materials.

"I have an idea for a super powerful card, and I will make it in the future."

"Okay, I will post your purchase request in my personal capacity. If a suitable one comes along, would you like me to buy it for you?"

Raylen still cares about Dekan.

After all, posting a request to purchase Tier 6 Epic Demon materials under the identity of Dekan would likely attract the attention of others.

It might even attract the attention of the reviewers at headquarters.

"No, President, I don't have that much money right now. I'm afraid I can only exchange this Tier 3 [Blood Purification] for it."

"...Well, generally speaking, a Tier 3 Epic card isn't enough to exchange for Tier 6 Epic materials, but considering the special nature of your card, there might be someone willing to trade with you. If you can find a suitable trading partner, I'll act as a go-between and let you talk."
