There’s Absolutely No Problem With The Magic Cards I Made!
There’s Absolutely No Problem With The Magic Cards I Made! - Chapter 2: Dekan Decides To Beco

Theresia blinked, her mouth agape like a small hole.

"How old are you?"

"Fifteen."

Dekan answered unenthusiastically.

This made Theresia even more surprised, Dekan was a year younger than her!

Fifteen year old tier 2 magic card makers were very common in the Hevenlit Magic Academy. It could even be said that they’re the baseline for standards.

However, most of the rookie card makers in the Hevenlit Magic Academy were only capable of creating [White Common] grade magic cards!

Card grade largely reflected the strength and value of the card as well as the skill level of the maker.

If a rookie card maker could create [Blue Uncommon] magic cards, they would be deemed to be extraordinarily talented.

As for Dekan, the batch of Goblin Gangsters he made were all Blue Uncommon!

It was as if Blue Uncommon was his baseline!

When a card reaches [Purple Rare] grade, their cost begins to increase exponentially. They were simply unaffordable for ordinary people.

That was also the reason why the Goblin Sheriff card ended up costing all of Thearesia's budget.

For the wealthy nobles and those with power, Purple grade cards would often compose the core of their decks.

As for the next level in rarity, the [Orange Epic] cards, they were seen as the highest level card for most people and were like symbols far in the horizon.

For cities and villages located in the border, they would likely never witness a holder of an Epic card.

Even for the Hevenlit Magic Academy, not many of their professors possess an Epic card.

As for the highest rarity [Red Legend] cards, they exist almost only in legends. Most people weren’t even sure if they truly exist in this world.

A fifteen year old tier 2 card maker that could make Purple Rare cards was completely different from an ordinary fifteen year old tier 2 card maker!

Generally, only those tier 4 or 5 card makers would be able to make tier 1 or 2 Rare cards.

There was no doubt that Dekan was a true genius.

As for the cards that Dekan made, if one must describe them, they were extremely weird.

Those cards were capable of easily disrupting everything.

He must have a unique production method and skills to create those outrageous cards.

Theresia swallowed her saliva and asked tentatively: "By the way, do you still have any more magic cards for sale? I want the ones you made!"

"The magic cards I made... they were pretty much all sold. The villagers all "like" the magic cards I made. That said, let me have a look. I think I should have a couple more."

After speaking, Dekan rummaged through the card book. It didn't take long before he found a Blue grade card and handed it to Theresia.

[Hydrogen Explosion]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Blue Uncommon]

[Tier: 2]

[Effect: Create violent explosion damage; unaffected by the caster's magic attribute. ]

[Note: Shooting stars is an art! ]

"This card can probably do a bit more damage than tier 3 fire magic. The disadvantage is that the mana consumption is slightly higher than ordinary tier 2 spell cards and the casting time is longer." Dekan explained.

"No! This doesn't conform to the principle of spell cards! It's outrageous enough that a tier 2 spell can cause tier 3 damage; why is it not affected by the magic attribute of the caster!?

Generally speaking, the damage caused by a spell card is a certain percentage multiplied by the magic attribute of the caster!

"That’s because of science."

"???"

After being puzzled for a long time, Theresia asked again: "The production of this card must be very complicated, right?"

"Not at all. Tier 2 Electric Shock plus tier 1 Waterball and tier 1 Fireball. Experiment a couple more times and it’s done."

"What the hell!?"

Theresia felt like she couldn't understand Dekan at all.

But she still bought the card.

Just as Theresia was happily preparing to find somewhere uninhabited to experiment Hydrogen Explosion, Dekan asked: "By the way, Miss, I'm going to take the entrance exam for Hevenlit Magic Academy this year. How much would it cost to hire you to escort me to the capital?"

Dekan’s teacher had told him that he should check out a major city if he wanted to learn how to make better magic cards.

He just so happened to encounter a student from the Hevenlit Magic Academy. It would be great if he could journey together with her.

"You need an escort?"

"...I’m only tier 2. Furthermore, I’m a scholarly individual."

Magic cards were equal to artifacts in this world. With abilities sealed inside them, they were tools for combat.

It was extremely dangerous to duel others with cards.

Dekan was not fond of battles at all. He only wanted to write and draw.

Of course, if others were to disturb his peace, it would be a different story.

After all, he had never lost to anyone.

Theresia was left momentarily stunned before extending her hand, "I won’t charge you! Let's be friends!"

She knew that Dekan had a bright future. After arriving in the capital, he might even become a master card maker in the future. At that time, one would have to line up in a long queue just to request for him to make cards for them.

Now is the perfect time to befriend him!

"Sure."

Dekan held Theresia's hand.

Mmm, so soft.

Dekan knew that what was free was actually the most expensive. Nevertheless, he admired Theresia’s foresight.

Respect me more and I'll make better cards for you!

Dekan's three favorite things were money, drawing, and being respected by others.

The two made an appointment to set out early tomorrow morning and chatted for a while before Theresia left the store.

Dekan leaned back on his chair with a cup of grapefruit tea. He was leisurely humming a song.

“Never was a cloudy day~”

It has been fifteen years since he was reincarnated into this world. In the fifteen years, he had not encountered any crisis nor had he awakened any special kind of system.

This world was quite peaceful. The only exception would be that natural disasters were quite frequent by comparison.

The kingdom he lived in also had a harmonious relationship with that of the neighboring kingdom. It was quite a satisfactory job to look after this convenience store.

However, since it was so easy to earn money, Dekan felt that he might as well spend a couple years in the capital before returning as a rich man!

Durkan's purpose in life was simple.

He enjoyed making magic cards.

His dream was to make the most beautiful wife card.

Ah, no, a Red Legendary card.

When he thought about his luxurious future and the beautiful lady cards, oh how satisfactory!

Pygmalion doesn’t lie.

The only thing Dekan was a bit unhappy about was that traveling merchant. That merchant purchased his batch of Goblin Gangsters at 100 cast coins each!

Theresia mentioned that the Goblin Gangster card had reached over 2 gold coins in the capital.

Back then, that dishonest merchant even told him: "This card is very ordinary, it’s just a little bit stronger than the White Ordinary goblin."

His teacher would also often tell him:” What kind of garbage are these magic cards you made?”

Because of that, Dekan really believed in that merchant.

The more he thought about it, the more furious he became!

That merchant actually scammed such a naive and kindhearted youth!

Theresia was the person who’s actually genuine and upright.

In order not to spoil his good mood, Dekan decided to think about happy things.

Unable to help himself, he took out a magic card. The moment the card appeared in the store, it instantly lit up the store.

There were faint ripples present on the surface of the card. As for the card itself, it was emitting an orange glimmer.

"Fortunately I didn't sell this card to that scamming merchant. This is the only Epic card I made."

Dekan smiled smugly, admiring his masterpiece.
