Chapter 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A Blue-grade Magic Card meant that as long as one’s body and mental strength were strong enough, they could seal a Gold-grade Dire Beast and turn it into their own Magic Card creature.

Dire Beasts were just what the federation called those monsters. In reality, in the spatial cracks all over the world, besides Dire Beasts, there were many other species. The most common ones were Dire Beasts, other than that, there were also Ghost Clan, Immortal Clan, Demon Plants…and so on in the spatial cracks.

And all of these could be sealed by the Magic Card Master.

The profession of Magic Card Master also began to be born at that time.

The reason why everyone wanted to become a Magic Card Master was because the social status of Magic Card Masters was extremely high.

Human society needed strong people like Magic Card Masters to maintain social order, maintain world peace, and stabilize development.

“What does the Magic Card Master have to do with me?!”

Lorne shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He raised his head and looked at the clock on the classroom. It was almost six o’clock. Lorne saw that Yang Kai was still immersed in his reverie and did not disturb him. He carried his backpack and walked out of the classroom alone.

…

Lorne was in this world was alone. His parents had died in a Dire Beast incident.

Therefore, even though he was almost 15 years old, Lorne was still unable to receive a White-grade Magic Card.

There was no other reason. He did not have the money to buy a Magic Card!

It was even more impossible to seal a Dire Beast alone. With Lorne’s strength, even the lowest bronze-level Dire Beast could easily tear him apart.

“It’s not bad to be an ordinary person. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be someone to hold it up.”

Lorne walked in the campus and could not help but laugh at himself.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard a disdainful sneer.

“Yo, isn’t this the talented Lorne?”

“Why do you look like you’ve lost your soul?”

A girl with heavy makeup, wearing a cowboy outfit, slowly walked over.

Her eyes were filled with disdain and a look of ridicule.

Lorne’s expression was normal, and there was a hint of disgust in his black eyes. He said lightly, “Whose broken shoes are these? Why are they so smelly?!”

The girl with heavy makeup was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red. She said angrily out of embarrassment, “Lorne, who do you think you are?”

“You’re just an ordinary person who hasn’t even sealed a White-grade Dire Beast Magic Card. How dare you talk to me like that!”

The girl’s name was Xu Li, and she could be considered Lorne’s ex-girlfriend. The reason why the two of them were so hostile with each other was from an incident dating back to last week.

Lorne, who was self-reliant, scraped together 200 star dollars and finally bought a White-grade Magic Card. Just as Lorne was about to try sealing it into his first Magic Card.

Xu Li, who had always been an obedient girl, actually stole Lorne’s Magic Card when Lorne was not paying attention. Furthermore, she was very lucky and successfully sealed it, becoming a bronze-level Magic Card Master in one fell swoop.

It was not easy to seal a Magic Card. Even if it was the lowest grade Magic Card, it meant that Xu Li’s aptitude was not low.

What was even more unexpected was that Xu Li, who had relied on Lorne to get promoted in one fell swoop, actually turned her back on him and even hooked up with another man. It was said that he was a famous second-generation rich kid in the academy.

However, Lorne was not angry about this. Using money to see a person’s true colors, he felt that it was a good deal.

“Take that Magic card as a break-up fee!”

“I’ve played with you too much. Get lost!”

Hearing Lorne’s disdainful tone, Xu Li was even angrier. What made her even more dissatisfied was that Lorne had been unusually calm from the beginning. He did not think the same way as she did, she wanted him to persuade her nicely, he even begged her to return to his side while crying bitterly.

This indifference and lazy attitude made Xu Li gnash her teeth and go crazy.

“What are you pretending to be noble for? Believe it or not, I’ll beat you to death!”

She held her small hand and was about to slap him, but Lorne grabbed her in midair.

Lorne grabbed her hand tightly and snorted coldly, “It’s already good that I’m not looking for trouble with you. Don’t be ungrateful!”

Xu Li sneered, “With just you? I’m not afraid to tell you that my current boyfriend is from a famous family in River City. You’re not even worthy of being a shoeshine!”

“What do you have to trouble me with?!”

She laughed wildly, as if hooking up with someone else would give her a beautiful future.

Lorne did not get angry. Instead, he laughed and raised his left hand to slap her.

Slap!

The crisp sound of a slap instantly rang out in the corridor.

Xu Li was silent at that.

Her eyes instantly turned red, and Lorne said coldly, “Don’t be so shameless. The next time I see you barking, it won’t be something that can be solved with a slap!”

Xu Li said, “You dare to hit me! Ah… I’ll kill you!”

Slap!

Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Li was slapped on the face.

The quarrel between the two attracted the attention of the passersby. When they saw Lorne beating Xu Li up, they all joined in the fun.

“Xu Li was actually beaten up by an ordinary person. What a big melon!”

“If Zhou Jie finds out about this, I’m afraid that this man is doomed!”

“This Xu Li isn’t a good person either. I heard that the reason she became a Magic Card Master was because of her ex-boyfriend. Now, she dumped her ex-boyfriend and hooked up with Zhou Jie.”

“This woman is really a gold digger. Who’s her ex-boyfriend?”

“I’m not sure about that. I think he’s just an ordinary person.”

Zhou Jie was Xu Li’s current boyfriend. He was also part of one of the richest families in River City. His father was a first lieutenant and held real power.

Relying on his father’s authority, Zhou Jie was arrogant and domineering in the academy.

Now that Lorne had publicly slapped Xu Li in the face, the consequences could be imagined.

However, Lorne was not afraid. He turned a deaf ear to the noise around him. His eyes were still staring coldly at Xu Li.

Xu Li was so angry that she started to cry, “You really don’t know what’s good for you. My boyfriend will definitely kill you!”

Lorne had only slapped her a few times today. It was already considered a light slap.

“Who dares to hit my girlfriend! Get out of my way!”

A rough voice sounded in the crowd.

Judging from the tone, it must be Xu Li’s boyfriend, Zhou Jie. However, Lorne did not even have the interest to look at him.

Zhou Jie was tall and sturdy. He swung his fists at Lorne, wanting to hit Lorne’s head.

Lorne let go of Xu Li’s hand and easily dodged the incoming fist. His right hand quickly lit up and a hook landed on Zhou Jie’s stomach.

“Urgh…”

With a muffled sound, Lorne stood where he was while Zhou Jie fell to the ground and vomited continuously.

“Either get lost or get beaten to death!”

“I, I, I…”

These words scared Xu Li so much that her entire body trembled. Her face was pale as she hurriedly ran to Zhou Jie’s side.

Zhou Jie slowed down and held his stomach. Blue veins popped out on his forehead as he said, “Lorne, I’ve underestimated you. Your agility and footwork skills are really good!”

He looked at Lorne with a cold and gloomy gaze.

“It’s fine if you’re in the academy, but you’ll come to the tournament in a week’s time, right? I’ll wait for you there!”

In the academy, it was forbidden for students to summon Dire Beasts to fight, and those who violated the rules were expelled..
