Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 100 - 91: Lanci’s Talent Type_1

Lanci followed Talia into a room, which turned out to be her bedroom.

Talia turned on the floor lamp on the plush carpet beside her bed, the soft light reflected off the white walls illuminating the space, making it instantly spacious and bright.

From the doorway, Lanci could see numerous sealed meal boxes filled with various desserts such as cream puffs, flaky cheeses, and mango pancakes on a side oak cabinet. These seemed to be her breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even her midnight snack companions.

Before Lanci had a chance to think, he felt the intense stare of Talia.

"Don’t look around."

It seemed she had no intention of showing Lanci these sweets, which were quite inconsistent with her character.

Talia pulled out a small suitcase from under her bed.

Accompanied by the sound of metal hinges opening, she opened the suitcase, which contained a set of high-grade portable card making tools. Then, Talia found some card making materials from a storage cabinet.

"Sit down."

She pointed to a desk on one side of the bedroom, signalling Lanci to go and sit there.

And she herself sat on the other side of the long table, at the edge of her bed.

"Next, I’ll make basic semi-finished first-order magic cards of all kinds. I’ll teach you a general formula principle, you just need to complete a very simple step, and then I’ll complete the rest. From the final completion degree deviation, we can see how well you are compatible with this type of magic."

As Talia spoke, she had already picked up a few card-making tools and began to work.

"Er, what should I do if I accidentally blow up the card?"

Lanci seemed to have started looking for firefighting tools around the room.

If he were to accidentally blow up Talia’s bedroom, Lanci wasn’t sure what the consequences would be. Moreover, the shop was still open downstairs, he had to consider others too.

"You try it."

Talia lifted her head to stare at Lanci, her eyes shining like a chilly moon.

Lanci felt a chill down his spine, knowing Talia was serious this time.

"...I won’t blow up the card."

Lanci assured confidently, even tightening the grip on the card-making tool.

Although Talia appeared more strict than ever, Lanci has always held the virtues of respecting elders, he would only be polite towards a few hundred-year-old lady.

Then, Talia temporarily stopped paying him any attention, focusing on her preparation work.

The Demon Race always treated their apprentices this way. Since she was teaching, she would teach seriously.

Although Talia didn’t have much teaching experience, she felt it was correct to teach Lanci, a human-born demon, in this way.

She had been observing Lanci making cards since his first try, so she naturally knew his flaws and how to train him to become an outstanding cardmaker.

The biggest problem this rich kid had was—

Besides his natural talent for blowing up magic cards, his previous state of card-making was too relaxed, which was abnormal.

Although being completely unconcerned during card-making is something most card makers envy, if this state is maintained permanently, Lanci would fall into another trap—being too carefree, leading to a persistently low success rate.

In Talia’s view, "Challenge Target" and "Card Making Technique" are the main factors influencing the "Card Making State". If the challenge target is too high, the card maker would feel anxious or frustrated due to their lack of control over themselves and the magic card. Conversely, if the challenge target is too low, the card maker would feel bored and lose interest, even making cards would become too casual.

The best card-making state of "Full Immersion" mainly occurs when the challenge target and card-making technique are balanced.

Since Lanci always likes to be in a state where his skills and talents greatly outweigh the challenge, this indirectly led to him being indifferent about blowing up cards.

So, Talia was going to start training Lanci in the way of the Demon Race—if he didn’t do well, he would die or even go beyond death. This way, she could bring Lanci’s card-making state to a balanced level.

Talia showed Lanci the first semi-finished "Spirit" system magic card she made.

"I have already engraved the basic spirit-affecting magic structure for you, and you need to embed an additional formula in the array, which can be understood as a kind of supplement or magic power identification, which can increase directionality or friend and foe identification."

As Talia taught Lanci, she demonstrated in front of him how to complete it,

"This card is for demonstration. From now on, every card will be completed by you."

Lanci nodded solemnly.

Talia was patient and gentle in her instruction, conditioned on the premise that he would carry out all instructions and commands.

If there was any deviation later, he feared he would be doomed.

At the same time.

Lanci gradually grasped the essence of the teaching methods of the Demon Race not fully experienced at the Demon Academy -

Stimulating the potential of students between life and death under high-pressure conditions.

If he needs to guide other students in his school or other schools in the future, this method could also be handy.

Lanci was confident that his role as a principal had become even more solid.

Next.

The room fell into silence.

There was no more communication between them; they just concentrated on their work, but there was an unspoken understanding when they passed cards to each other.

When one is fully immersed in an activity, they would forget their surroundings and the time, gaining great satisfaction, enjoyment, and experience.

Talia occasionally looked at Lanci, assuring herself that Lanci’s state of card making had indeed changed from before.

It seemed she needed to pay more attention to his teaching in the future.

...

The sky outside the room subtly changed.

The bright morning sky had unknowingly been covered with a pale orange-red, and the clouds, under the setting sun, looked like lit torches.

The sky’s color gradually transformed from azure to violet, then into a deep navy blue.

The sun slowly descended on the horizon and finally disappeared beneath it, leaving behind twilight.

Until nightfall, they continued making cards.

In Talia’s room at this moment.

Accompanied by quiet breathing sounds.

Lanci was asleep, face down on the table, his face as unguarded as a baby’s.

Whether it was due to being too focused, or the pressure from Talia being too great, making him dare not slacken, he didn’t even realize that he had reached his limit. After finishing the filling of the last card and handing it to Talia, his head drooped until he was asleep on the desk.

Talia looked at the stack of Magic Cards on the table, which were also the test results -

Besides [Spirit] Magic, [Healing] was also decent. Among all the elemental magic, only [Light] was barely passable, but nothing too outstanding.

Other small types of magic, compatibility for most was as pessimistic as she had originally identified, like [Curse] and [Poison].

However, there was one magic card engraved with colorless runes, shimmering brilliantly, different from the rest.

This was evidence of excellent compatibility.

After Talia had tested all the Magic Types that could be included, she indeed found only one Magic Type that had excellent compatibility with Lanci.

Talia picked up this card, her expression complicated.

"How is it that the magic he’s most suitable for is the [Seal] type..."

Looking at Lanci’s naturally sleeping face, she felt his novice level had greatly increased after the Registered Card-making Master exam.
