Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

The students were buzzing with discussion, most surprised by Zhang Jingtian from the ordinary class.

They hadn't even heard of this person before.

Unlike Luo Shasha and Xu Qiang, these two had both been in the top ten of their grade during the last semester's exams, even surpassing many from the Panda Class.

Moreover, they had created their card sets early on and joined the ranks of prospective card creators.

Everyone had foreseen their transfer to the Panda Class.

But who was Zhang Jingtian? How could a student from an ordinary class leapfrog two levels and ascend to the Panda Class?

Everyone was puzzled; perhaps only those on the same school bus as Zhang Jingtian knew why he received such an opportunity.

Thinking of Zhang Jingtian's heroic spirit, many people shuddered.

Living in Lanruo City, they often saw ghost-type heroic spirits.

But few were like Painted Skin, which, despite its beautiful appearance, gave off an extremely strong, eerie aura.

The only explanation was that Zhang Jingtian had crafted his story very well.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhang Jingtian and the other two students walked towards the stern-faced Dean and Vice-Principal.

Wang Chunyan knew what they were going to do, feeling proud yet reluctant.

She hadn't expected that Zhang Jingtian, who had been quiet before, and whom everyone thought wouldn't pass the qualification exam,

would, in the blink of an eye, create a blue-quality card.

This was already considered genius level among high school students.

"Hello, I'm Xu Qiang."

Xu Qiang from the fast class was a tall, sturdy boy with a somewhat simple and honest round face.

He didn't overthink why Zhang Jingtian from the ordinary class was with them; he believed the school leaders must have their reasons.

Unlike Xu Qiang, Luo Shasha had a somewhat arrogant personality.

She felt she should have been promoted to the Panda Class long ago.

But she didn't expect that two other people would be with her, completely stealing her limelight.

Xu Qiang was okay; they would compete with each other during every exam.

But she had never even heard of this Zhang Jingtian.

Where did this person suddenly come from?

Luo Shasha cleared her throat and looked at Zhang Jingtian: "Are you also a prospective card creator?"

"I guess so," Zhang Jingtian hadn't had time to register with the Card Creator Association yet: "I just created a card and haven't taken the qualification exam."

As soon as he finished speaking, the burly Xu Qiang sensed an unusual atmosphere.

He had been a prospective card creator for three months before he had the chance to be promoted to the Panda Class.

How could Zhang Jingtian be with them after just creating a card?

"You're lying to us!" Luo Shasha pouted: "How could you be called over right after creating it? Do you know what we're going to do? We're going to the Panda Class!"

"Even if you created a blue-quality card, it won't work if you don't even know how to control it skillfully or have any practical experience!"

In fact, Luo Shasha was right, but she didn't know that Zhang Jingtian had everything she mentioned.

Zhang Jingtian smiled and said to Luo Shasha: "I think the teacher must have a reason for calling me here."

The Dean and Vice-Principal were also in front, and Zhang Jingtian didn't want to show off too much.

Lest he leave them with the impression that he was just a big talker, frivolous and unreliable.

After they arrived at the Dean's office, the stern-faced man said: "I called you here not to listen to your nonsense."

"In short, all three of you have been promoted to the Panda Class."

After the Dean finished speaking, he clapped his hands in coordination, and seeing Luo Shasha muttering, he immediately asked: "Do you have any objections?"

Luo Shasha's heart tightened, but she still asked: "Why can he also go to the Panda Class?"

"Does the school's judgment need to be reported to you?"

The Dean's words completely silenced Luo Shasha.

And the seemingly gentle Vice-Principal, the old lady with gray hair, said: "The reason for suddenly letting you enter the Panda Class is because we urgently need new strength."

"You should be aware of what happened at Joy Lake last night, right?"

"In the end, the president of the city's Card Creator Association, a Star Glory Card Creator, came forward to resolve the dispute."

Star Glory Card Creator… …

Zhang Jingtian knew the level divisions of card creators: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Star Glory, Legend, Pinnacle.

Nine levels, and each level has five stars.

It's just that the gap between one-star and five-star Bronze Card Creators is not large, so few people bother to distinguish them.

Star Glory Card Creators are definitely rare. Such card creators could destroy a city with their cards.

For him to come forward, the opponent must also be very strong.

The monsters of the Scourge Legion have the same strength divisions as card creators, a total of nine levels.

So on their side, there should be at least gold-card strength.

The original Zhang Jingtian was very interested in the story of the Scourge Legion. The last time a monster with gold-card strength attacked was twenty years ago.

No wonder the school attaches so much importance to it.

"To be honest," the Vice-Principal sighed: "The city's two card creator academies have already entered a state of preparation."

"And we naturally have to select more outstanding talents to provide backup for the card creator academies."

"The three of you are those who, after comprehensive consideration by our school, are considered capable of joining the Panda Class and participating in the High School League together."

As soon as she finished speaking, the three students were stunned.

High School League? They only knew that the card creator academies held a College League every year to determine the country's subsidies and resources.

But there had never been a High School League.

"You also know about the College League, it's actually the same thing." The Vice-Principal said softly: "Nowadays, the city government's subsidies for each of our high schools are actually the same."

"But now the situation is critical, and we can no longer divide the cake in the same way as before. The strong should get more resources!"

"So in March next year, there will be a High School League, and the final ranking will determine the resources."

Zhang Jingtian didn't expect that he would encounter reform just after entering the Panda Class.

But he did prefer this distribution method, which could make people more motivated.

"How will the candidates to participate in the High School League be decided?" Zhang Jingtian asked the first question after seeing the Vice-Principal.

The other party smiled: "Very simple, assessment. As for the form of the assessment, your homeroom teacher will tell you."

"In the end, there will be three people representing our school to participate in the High School League."
