Chapter 34: Aura Sight

Date 21 Mar 2321

Time 9:49

Location Sky Blossom City, Lion Cub High School, Principal’s Office

“Sir, Student Wyatt is here to see you”

“Send him in.”

…

Every time I step into this office I am amazed by its lavish decor. Isn’t teaching supposed to be the most miserable and low paying job, I guess private schools are a different story.

Seeing me enter the principal got off his chair and welcomed me in, I really can not get used to how fake he is. Which principal stands up to welcome a student in his office, none.

After meeting the Bright brother’s trio I knew that silver grimoire is not that big of a deal in the upper circle of Sky Blossom city. It’s rare but not worth this much fuss.

“Student Wyatt, did you like your replacement homeroom teacher?”

“I haven’t met the new replacement teacher yet. I came here for another reason. What is the Rookie Card Fight Tournament?”

“Where did you hear that, I was about to announce it at tomorrow’s school assembly.”

“The Bright Brother Trio told me about that, they seem to take this tournament seriously.”

“They should since the top ten will be rewarded handsomely, especially the top five they stand to gain more.”

“What are the rewards?”

“You should not worry about the rewards as you are still too weak to even enter the top 20.”

“What?! FYI I just defeated one of the Bright trio along with another 20 card apprentices.”

“Oh! That I did see it, your performance was indeed remarkable for someone who awakened 4 days ago. But not enough, why do you think someone arrogant like Bright Trio chose to hide their card rather than beat your weak ass.”

“What is that supposed to mean?” You knew about the fight yet you did not stop it. What are you getting paid for, Wait! Does it matter as long as I am not punished for the school fights?

“Look kid let me give it to you straight, the two from Bright Trio are way out of the league for someone of your prowess.

Just like you both of them inherited their ancestor’s grimoire and also gained their ancestor’s origin cards.

Don’t think you are the only one to inherit your mom’s grimoire and origin card.”

Hearing the principal my mind thundered and my brain was in complete turmoil, till now I thought Soul pupils were my cheat of a transmigrator but turn out I was wrong.

“Mom’s origin card?” I asked, covering my shock with a clueless expression.

“No need to pretend kid, I saw you use your mother’s Aura Sight origin card in the fight earlier.

Otherwise, how could you predict the position from where the skeleton will attack or how were you able to see when the bust blocked everyone’s sight or how could you accurately find the cores of the undead summons.”

Wait! Aura sight. Thank god my heart almost jumped out of my mouth. So he knows nothing about Soul pupils. To think mama Wyatt’s origin card was also a mutated eye ability coincidence or?.

“I did gain the origin card when I contracted my mom’s grimoire but I did not know it was my mom’s card.”

Yes, I did gain an origin card when I contracted mama Wyatt’s grimoire and did not know the origin was related to her. But he does not need to know which origin card I had.

“Wait! you don’t know your own mom’s origin card.”

“My parents chose to keep their work life and private life separate, apart from teaching me about cards and card creation they never bothered to talk about work in front of me and I never bothered to ask.”

Mama and papa Wyatt never mentioned their work to young Wyatt, I can understand since no parent in their right mind would want to share the gruesome battle stories of survival with their young child.

“Ok, when you contract an ancestral grimoire you also inherit your ancestor’s origin card. But origin cards are supposed to be unique cards to that individual card apprentice so the inherited origin card slot becomes locked until you find a fated ingredient and fuse it with the inherited origin card to make it unique to the individual card apprentice again.

But in some special cases like your case student Wyatt, when the individual card apprentice is very similar to the ancestor then the inherited origin card does not get locked. This is very rare, almost near impossible therefore not many people know about it.”

Hearing this I got more confused because I belonged to neither the special nor the normal case. My origin card formed directly when I contracted the grimoire.

The only hypothesis I could come up with was that I belonged to the normal case and my fated ingredient was the remnants of young Wyatt’s soul, that is Aura Sight mutated to soul pupils fusing with the remnants of young Wyatt’s soul.

Nothing else came to my mind that sounded sane to explain my awakening of soul pupils origin card. Since it was out of my understanding I stopped worrying about it and inquired about why was here in the first place,

“How strong are the two silver graders of the Bright trio?”

“Officially I don’t know. But since I had promised to give you priority l will provide you info off the record.

Do you know the prominent Bright family of today was a nobody 56 years ago in the Sky Blossom city and If not for the infamous War Golem Twins they could not reach today’s heights and have three known golden card apprentices.”

The twin brothers of the Bright family were titled War Golem Twins because of their bravery during monster tide and their unique Golem origin cards.

56 years ago during a monster tide attack on Sky Blossom city, the twins of the Bright family defended the south gate of the city all alone until the reinforcement arrived, thanks to their unique golem origin cards.

Golem cards are item cards but if the golems are sentient then they become familiars and fall under the summoning card category.

Golems have immense strength, durability and are unstoppable until their core is destroyed similar to the undead creatures.

But Golem origin cards of the Bright twins were almost immortal. Contrary to other cards, origin cards are part of the card apprentice so the Bright twins were able to hide the golem core within them making their golems almost unstoppable.

Making it possible for them to hold off the monster tide from attacking the city till the reinforcements arrived.

These War Golem Twin brothers are the grandfathers of the two silver graders of the Bright trio from whom they inherited their silver grimoire.

“So, if I am not wrong they both should be able to summon unstoppable war machines each to fight for them. Now, do you think you are their match?”
