Hesston Walk had begun to bustle with the brightening morning. The large department stores' glass windows, each meticulously crafted with displays, caught the eye of passersby. This Saturday morning already buzzed with a vibrant energy. {[Write here I hope readers remember our domain name]}

The large magic screen on the second-floor glass wall of the Cardmaker's Association, which had previously been displaying the association's rotating advertisements, has now been switched to a preheat broadcast for the registration cardmaker exam that will soon be starting.

The pedestrian square is filled with families laughing and playing with energetic children, couples smiling at each other as they enjoy this leisurely weekend. The outdoor seating areas of cafes and restaurants are also occupied by many customers.

At this moment, gradually, some people began to lift their heads and turned their gaze from the bustling street scene to the giant glass screen of the association.

Card Making Association, Fifth Floor.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, I gazed at the expansive square scenery below.

Lanche and Huberly chatted idly.

According to the sign, you can walk towards the courtyard in a while and reach the registration and card making test area directly.

I feel great today!

Ranch looked at the time, it was almost time to enter the examination room and wait, so he bid farewell to Huberlian for now.

Today, Lanchi just finished doing a good deed. Feeling extremely happy, he even had more confidence in making the card.

"Come on, Lan Qi!"

Hubberley knew that Lancy's hot streak was definitely not good news for Sophia.

But she will certainly wholeheartedly bless Lance.

Perhaps even for fun, Huberlian wouldn't hesitate to unleash his full potential in making cards today.

Well, I'm used to it now.

Hubert's feelings were very complex.

She hopes that Lance will pass and get a good grade, but she's also worried that he'll perform too well and that Sophia won't be able to handle it mentally.

But it should be fine.

Hubert also knows the process of registering for the card making exam.

Generally speaking, wanting to directly jump from the first-tier Iron rank to the second-tier Bronze rank is already very difficult.

A candidate has five opportunities to create cards. At least three successful creations are required to pass, and must include at least one card of each category: spell card, equipment card, and summon card.

This is also a reason why it's difficult to pass the registration and certification exam by luck.

And on the basis of qualification, the association will evaluate and grade the manufactured magic cards.

The total score of all finished cards is the grade.

To reach the initial bronze rank promotion points, if all three finished cards are blue rare quality, they will add up to just enough.

Someone with this foundation also possesses the strength of a bronze-level card maker.

Even reaching the silver level is incredibly difficult.

Hubleyan had already talked to Lance, knowing his card-making techniques were high in potential but low in consistency. The biggest issue was the lack of stability in quality; even then, only sealed cards guaranteed a successful outcome.

As for the "Great Love Poet" card, that was a masterpiece created by his teacher. He himself has never been able to create a pink divine-grade card.

So Syberlian felt that today, Lanci could perform to his usual standard and make a purple two white. Getting to the bronze level would already be quite good.

"Nalanchi, I should be waiting for you on the third floor later."

Hughbert and Lanche beckoned him to enter the examination hall.

She was going to go up to the third floor to check on the situation. If Eleanor and Sophia were getting along, she would likely stay with them and watch the Registration Mage exam through a tiered magical screen.

"Well, I'll find you after the exam."

Lanche nodded, then turned and strode toward the examination area.

……

More than ten minutes later.

The registration for the card maker exam was held in a spacious atrium.

Natural light streams into the room through the large stained-glass rose window on the ceiling.

At this time, Lanchi had already passed the preliminary qualification confirmation and was sitting quietly in the waiting area, waiting for the exam to begin.

The hall was lined with giant magical devices along the walls, like silent giants. The dim lights cast upon them reflected mysterious and magnificent beams.

These massive magical engineering components wound together, their gleaming silver and crystal hues giving off a chillingly impressive visual impact.

Many examinees in the waiting area, especially those unfamiliar with such large-scale magical devices, were awestruck by this masterpiece of magic engineering.

However, Lance was used to it by now.

The "artificial shadow world activation terminal" used in the entrance exam at the Icterite Academy.

In recent years, the registration card maker exam has been upgraded from a traditional examination at an exam venue to an AI-powered online examination.

After the exam begins, the examinee will enter a harmless, first-level artificial shadow world individually carrying a 【Portable Card Making Kit】and a set of magic cards.

Individual examination booths separated by dividers ensure that candidates are not affected by external factors during the card making process, and they will not interfere with each other. Meanwhile, the association can record and evaluate the exam process extremely conveniently.

The entire examination process will be transmitted not only to the headquarters of the Cardmaking Masters Association but also simultaneously to a large screen on the exterior wall of the Ikereth City branch of the Cardmaking Masters Association and smaller magic screens on each floor for local broadcast.

Generally, after the card making exam begins, customers who come to the card maker association to handle affairs or conduct transactions will also take a look at the exam as entertainment.

On Hetton Walk there are also some citizens who find a place to rest, such as scenery flower boxes, benches or steps at the edge of a flowerbed sit down and watch.

This led to many first-time participants, and even those who had failed several times before, being quite nervous.

Compared to the anxious card makers around him, Lance seemed remarkably calm.

His steady demeanor seemed more like that of an examiner than a contestant.

He had taken the artificial world exam twice and the real world exam once, but he remained unmoved.

Since returning from that dreamlike academy of demons, Lance felt that his heart had been taken by the demon world. Perhaps there would be no joy or sorrow in this life anymore.

Lanche waited peacefully like that.

From some point, calm footsteps echoed from the hall into the ears of the waiting examinees.

The sight of the examiner entering naturally silenced the examination hall, which had been slightly noisy before.

Lanche walked toward where the examinees' gazes were focused.

Suddenly, a figure walked in from the side of the entrance hall. He was wearing a dark suit, and both his outer pocket and lapel had accessories indicating his status as a registered card maker and a senior examiner of the Card Makers Association.

He was a man in his forties, well-dressed but with a hint of weariness in his eyes.

He strode to the front of the waiting area, his gaze fixed on the crowd of examinees.

The examination area is filled with young people. Almost all of these aspiring card makers are from the Iktelite Academy or other schools in different cities, such as the Sacred Doctrine Research Society and the Divine Craftsmanship Academy, who have come to take this registration exam.

Although the Heton Kingdom has other major cities that offer registration for Card Master exams, the number of available slots is limited and the schedule varies. Sometimes, to catch up with the exam as soon as possible, many candidates will take the Magic Rail Train to the capital city of Ekretheria for reference.

And most of the students and faculty at the Hekate Academy were indifferent to such registration, card making, and magic examination. Often, only the Artificers' Institute paid attention to it.

If a student performs exceptionally well in the registration for the Card Maker exam, the Association will notify Professor Borao, the Dean of the Artificer's Academy at Ecthelion College.

Every time there is a master craftsman registration exam, when promising students from the Magic Engineering Academy participate, the professors at the Magic Engineering Academy will eagerly await good news.

However, it seems that there weren't any promising new students from the Arcane Engineering Academy today, so the professors over there probably didn't take this exam too seriously.

Midlife, his thoughts drifted aimlessly before he spoke:

"I am today's chief examiner, Lawrence."

Even without much introduction, a middle-aged man's status as a gold-card craftsman speaks volumes of his authority.

Each of you will enter a personal, harmless shadow world and can freely choose the environment. The exam time is at most 5 hours, and after the exam starts, you have a 30-minute preparation time to read the specific exam rules and purchase materials for making cards.

The exam will officially begin at 9:00 am and end at 2:30 pm. Additionally, if you get hungry during the exam, you can also purchase lunch in the Artificial World.

After Lawrence briefly introduced the process, he inserted a key with a white, shimmering flaw into the "Artificial Shadow World Activation Terminal."

Next, the space directly in front of the magical device began to warp and twist. The colors gradually shifted from transparent to a deep, dark hue until finally, a man-made void portal materialized completely.

And other card-making association staff began to guide the examinees into the world of artificial shadows.

Meanwhile.

On the glass curtain wall of the entire I-Keter Guild branch, the scene finally changed to the registered card maker exam!
