Chapter 37 - 37: Arcane Library
"I see... what other types of cards are there?"
In response to Erik's question, the woman began to explain as a hyperrealistic holographic image of different cards appeared on the table.
"There are five types of student cards besides the crystal one. The most common is the Obsidian card, which is given to all students who are not part of the faction."
The woman pointed to the first image on the desk, which was a black card similar to Erik's, though clearly much less refined, before continuing her explanation and pointing out the different cards.
"There's also the Ruby card, which is for disciples of mana users who are part of the faction and have some achievements but are below the title of Sage. Next is the Sapphire card, held by disciples of mana users at the Sage and Arcane levels.
Additionally, there are two special cards: the Diamond card, for those who have shown great excellence at the university, and the Black Diamond card, which is for representatives of other important factions."
The woman pointed to the last two card images, which had much finer details and were clearly crafted by superior artisans, though they were still slightly inferior to Erik's, one almost transparent and the other of crystalline black.
Erik looked at the cards with interest as he listened to the explanation, then nodded in satisfaction and asked.
"Alright, I understand... But isn't it unsafe that the card just needs to be placed to register? What happens if I lose it and someone else uses it?"
"You don't need to worry about that, direct disciple. The faction's disciple cards are special and are made based on your identification as a disciple, so they only work for you. If someone else tries to use it, it will self-destruct. The other cards have different security measures." the woman explained with a smile, while wondering why an honorable direct disciple didn't know something like that.
"That's very interesting... and lastly, where will my class be?" Erik asked as he took his schedule from his storage ring, to which the beautiful woman replied with an amused smile that she tried to pass off as professional.
