Just based on his physical strength, Lorne was confident that no one in the same level would be a match for him!
But that was only limited to his physical strength.
Zhou Jie was actually quite strong. It was said that he had a Green-grade Magic Card. If Zhou Jie could summon a Magic Card Dire Beast, Lorne would have been killed long ago.
He also knew that Lorne had never sealed a Magic Card before. If the ordinary people in the academy wanted to become Magic Card Masters, they would definitely return to participate in this competition.
Zhou Jie had made up his mind. As long as Lorne dared to participate in the competition, he would definitely let Lorne die without a burial place.
If Lorne did not participate in the competition, that would be even better. There would be one or two people dying in the mouths of Dire Beasts outside every day. He did not believe that Lorne would be able to stay in the academy forever and would always find an opportunity!
In the eyes of the surrounding students, Zhou Jie’s declaration of war was a fatal choice for Lorne.
Although Lorne had been working very hard in school during this period of time and had trained his body to be very strong, fate had played a joke on him. In the whole three years, he had not even sealed a single Dire Beast, if he was still unable to successfully seal the Magic Card after graduation, he would have no fate with the Magic Card Master.
In this world, people without strength were destined to have no human rights. The academy’s competition was also Lorne’s last chance to obtain a Magic Card, but at this time, he was actually targeted by someone like Zhou Jie, this was an incomparably fatal blow to his future.
And just when everyone was feeling sorrowful for Lorne.
Something unexpected happened.
Lorne actually nodded!
“I will wait for you on the competition field!”
Lorne calmly left, leaving behind a sentence.
The people around him were confused at his words.
…
River City, north into the village.
This was a village within the city of River City.
It was a very dilapidated self-built house with two floors and two courtyards. There was a mutt in the house and an osmanthus tree planted in the courtyard.
This was Lorne’s home.
It was an old house with a single door and courtyard. Therefore, Lorne could have a separate bedroom and even other rooms. The area was not small either.
Lorne’s home was not too far from the city center. It was only a 17-18 minute ride by bike, and it only took about 15 minutes to get to school. It was part of the North City, and its geographical location was not too far away.
After Lorne left school, he went to the city center to work. That was right, if he did not work part-time, how could he support himself.
It was already late at night when he returned home. Lorne parked the electric car and entered the house.
The big yellow dog lying in the yard looked at its master coming back and sniffed.
There was nothing to eat, so it went back to sleep.
The big yellow dog looked at its master symbolically, wagged its tail and went back to dozing.
His sister, Suke, was already asleep.
Lorne had a sister, who was adopted by his parents when they were still alive. Since his parents passed away, Lorne only had his sister as his family.
His younger sister, Suke, was weak. Lorne had always taken care of Suke, and the two of them had always depended on each other.
Lorne cooked a bowl of noodles, and he could vaguely hear the sound of insects outside the courtyard.
He looked up at the roof above him. There was no ceiling, and he could see the roof on the second floor. There were cobwebs in the corners, and there were cracks on the roof walls.
He shook his head.
The house was very old, and he had never had extra money to renovate it.
Here, it was a little extravagant for an ordinary person to want to live a rich life.
He shook his head and did not think much about it. After tidying up the kitchen, Lorne walked upstairs.
There were two bedrooms and a small living room on the second floor.
The innermost bedroom belonged to his sister, Suke.
Lorne quietly opened his sister’s door…
Looking inside, he saw that the room was dark, and he could vaguely hear his sister’s breathing.
It was already ten o’clock, and Suke was already fast asleep.
Lorn gently closed the door and turned on the light in the small hall. He took out a white card from his bedroom.
Two-thirds of the white card was blank, and the rest was a circle of silver-white irregular patterns.
This was a White Magic Card, but there was not the slightest energy fluctuation.
That was right, this was a dead card.
The so-called dead card meant that the Dire Beast sealed inside the card had already died, and there was no chance for it to be summoned again.
There were two ways to seal a Dire Beast with a Magic Card. The first way was to kill the Dire Beast, and a Magic Card corresponding to the Dire Beast’s level would appear at the spot where the Dire Beast died. The Dire Beast summoned by this Magic Card could only rely on the Magic Card Master to command the battle, it had no ability to control itself.
The second way was when the Dire Beast was on the verge of death. When it had no ability to resist, the Magic Card Master would use a special sealing technique to seal it into a magic card. This method had a certain risk. If the Magic Card Master’s own strength was insufficient…there was a high chance that the body of the Magic Card Master would explode and die during the process of forcefully sealing it.
However, the Dire Beast summoned by such a Magic Card was usually very powerful and had a sense of self, it could battle by itself with its own intelligence. Furthermore, it had absolute loyalty to the Magic Card Master.
No matter what kind of Magic Card it was, once the Dire Beast died in the process of battle, the card would become a dead card. At the same time, the Magic Card Master would also suffer a backlash. At worst, he would be crippled, and at worst, he would die.
This dead card was picked up by Lorne in an empty alley two days ago when he was doing a part-time job.
Lorn took the white card out of the bedroom, sat down on the table in the small hall, and carefully examined it.
This was Lorne’s first time seeing a dead card. The only value of this kind of card was that it was made into an advancement card by a professional.
The advancement card, as the name implied, was one of the props that the Magic Card Master used to advance his Magic Card.
In Suke’s room, Suke gently breathed a sigh of relief under the blanket.
Strange, why did her brother suddenly open the door of her room? It was something that had never happened before.
She thought to herself that she had to lock the door from the inside tomorrow.
With that thought in mind, she quietly turned on the flashlight in her bed and continued to read the novel in her hand attentively…
Lorne looked at the silver-white pattern on the white card for a while before losing interest.
“I thought there was something special about it. It might just be a white quality dead card. Even if I took it to the Magic Card Chamber of Commerce, I probably wouldn’t be able to exchange it for a few dollars.”
Compared to the lowest grade card, even if it could be used by trash to make a promotion card, it was just a white promotion card.
It did not have much value.
“No matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat. I understand that it’s good to exchange it for some money.”
He was also a little tired and sleepy.
With his physique, other than studying in school, he also had to work hard at night. He felt tired even at this late hour.
Lorne shook his head and sighed. He was about to put the card away.
But at that moment, he suddenly felt a surge of energy in the card on the table.
“What’s going on?”
Lorne was stunned. Then, he realized that his vision was becoming a little blurry.. A red light quickly lit up in front of his eyes…
