Chapter 46. Dekan Starts to Shift the Blame to the Resurrection Church

Looking at Iris' fleeing figure, Teresia wanted to chase after her but felt that it would only embarrass her more.

But if she didn't chase after her, she and Iris might not be able to speak to each other for a long time.

She looked at me helplessly.

The smile on my face seemed to say, "My apologies for the poor hospitality."

"Sigh."

Teresia let out a deep sigh.

This guy was becoming less and less human.

When she first met him in the small border town shop, she thought he was quite normal......

Normal?

Pah, that Goblin Sheriff was clearly not something a normal person could make.

As if seeing Teresia's dilemma, I shouted towards her, "Teresia, you should go find Her Highness Iris. I'll probably be stuck here for a while."

It seemed the chief examiner had something important to discuss with me.

I also felt that Iris needed a little comfort.

I had indeed been a bit too harsh.

Actually, I hadn't planned on making an epic card at first.

I had originally thought that successfully making a Rank 3 rare quality card would be enough.

After all, having spent so much on the registration fee, even if I couldn't make the meter run backward, I couldn't afford to lose money.

But as I was making it, I got carried away.

It wouldn't have been strange if that card had exploded at any point during its creation.

After all, every step of its process was reversing and rewriting the holy attribute.

Unfortunately, my luck was really quite good.

Not only did it not explode, but it also successfully reached epic quality.

What? You say I was always a luck-based player?

What are you talking about? I don't understand.

"Then I'll see you back at school!"

Teresia waved at me and ran off quickly.

She was going to save Iris' heart, which was as ruined as scorched earth.

......

The exam was over.

Now, several examiners were gathered around me.

The moment I produced the orange card, the other few candidates who were still struggling obviously couldn't withstand the dazzling special effects.

Without a doubt, they were all blinded and failed.

Or perhaps their spirits were so shocked that they no longer had the confidence to continue.

In any case, being able to watch such a miracle up close didn't seem like too much of a loss.

"Mr. Dekan, could we trouble you to come with us to see President Relun?"

Even though the chief examiner was a Rank 6 card maker, he was now being very polite to me.

Because I was going to become a Special-Grade Card Maker.

For classes like 3rd to 1st, one could go to the certification hall on the third floor to receive the corresponding license after passing the exam.

But for a Special-Grade Card Maker, they didn't have one ready-made here!

It had to be reviewed and produced by the headquarters.

The specific details had to be discussed with me by the president.

The value of the "Special-Grade" title could not be described by rank.

They were also very self-aware and knew how far I would go in the future, so they were exceptionally respectful to me from now on.

"No problem."

"Please come with us."

"Alright."

......

I followed a few examiners through an internal passage and left the exam hall.

Next, the chief examiner led me all the way up a floating staircase to the sixth floor.

It was also the top floor of this building.

The sixth floor was rarely visited. I was led to the door of the most conspicuous office.

The chief examiner knocked gently on the door. After receiving a response from within, he pushed open the heavy door and gestured for me to enter.

Inside the ridiculously spacious office sat an old man.

This old man looked to be over sixty, but his back was straight, and his eyes shone with a sharp light.

He wore the highest-grade association uniform, with a few strands of graying hair hanging in front of his eyes, and a faint smile on his face.

This person was clearly the president of the Norton Kingdom branch of the Card Makers' Association.

To my surprise, before I could walk over, the president actually stood up himself and walked around his desk to shake my hand.

This made me feel a bit overwhelmed by the favor.

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

"Hello, President Relun."

I noticed that there were seven purple stars printed on the chest of his uniform.

Clearly, he was a 7th-rank, 1st-class card maker.

A true big shot.

A 7th-rank powerhouse, even in a civilian role, was very terrifying.

Swinging a hammer to instantly kill a Rank 3 or 4 would not be a problem.

After inviting me to sit on a nearby sofa, Relun said, "First of all, congratulations on becoming a Special-Grade Card Maker of the Card Makers' Association. This is a lifelong honor, but the review process for it is also very complicated, so you may need to attend at least one review meeting."

"Special-Grade Card Makers are the highest-level core members of our association. No matter what, the association will be your backing."

"I am temporarily unable to issue you your badge, uniform, and license because the symbolic items for Special-Grade need to be specially made for you after passing the review from the headquarters."

I was a bit stunned listening to this. I didn't expect that making one Rank 3 epic card could grant me such an incredible treatment.

Although I had heard of Special-Grade Card Makers, the Card Makers' Association rarely publicized the mechanism and authority of Special-Grade Card Makers to the outside world, so I didn't know much about it.

"So right now I am...?"

I asked with some confusion.

"Before you pass the review, you will temporarily have the rights of a 3rd-rank, 1st-class card maker."

"That's good."

I felt that the coordination of the Card Makers' Association was quite good.

Although the review sounded a bit tedious, the mechanism was reasonable.

"By the way, is the review difficult?"

"I have never heard of a Special-Grade Card Maker being given a hard time during the review. Uh... if it's you, it's possible that the headquarters will conduct an additional investigation into whether you are associated with the Resurrection Church, because your card-making style is really... even more extreme than their archbishop's."

President Relun's tone seemed to become more uncertain as he spoke.

He had also heard about my glorious deeds of rampaging through the Shadow World.

And my unorthodox cards.

“......”

I was silent for a moment.

I had a feeling that my package was going to be held up for a long time.

And right now, I suddenly felt a strong urge to eradicate the Resurrection Church.

It was because of the existence of this group of people that a pure and good citizen like me was mistaken for an evil cult priest!

"Don't worry, Dekan. I will help you communicate actively with the headquarters. You will definitely become the thirteenth existing registered Special-Grade Card Maker in the entire continent! And the second Special-Grade Card Maker in the Norton Kingdom!"

Relun was clearly very excited that the Norton Kingdom could have two Special-Grade Card Makers.

"Even though I'm only Rank 3, can I be ranked alongside the other twelve?"

"The title of 'Special-Grade,' no matter which rank you achieve it at, will not change even if your rank increases later."

Relun explained to me.

If one participated in a Rank 3 exam at Rank 4, no matter what quality of card was made, it would be counted as 3rd-class.

To get a 2nd-class or higher rating, one must make a card of the same rank as oneself.

1st-class and 2nd-class were also a kind of honor.

It meant being able to make high-level cards of the same rank.

But Special-Grade completely transcended the other three conventional grade concepts. It was a symbol of a card maker's absolute strength.

Those who could create epic cards were basically already famous card makers.

And card makers who could create same-rank epic cards were even rarer than rare!
