My Soul card is a Reaper

"Djinn?" Almost all the guests have watched the invasion of Aethon Light. They saw everything until the end. So, everyone had an idea of the Prowess of Djinn even if they don't have prior knowledge about its history.

Looking at Ramiel, Barton explained, "Like the Jewel, the more powerful a soul is, the more ability they can draw from the Djinn sealed inside this magical object. I could only draw out high-rank-8 strength from my Djinn. Its limits are far higher than the ones displayed during the battle.

That means if its owner is the child of heavens, then, he/she will have an immortal Supreme Realm servant."

His words stirred everyone's heart. A look of greediness appeared on everyone's face.

Then, Barton continued to state its drawbacks. "However, it has a terrible price. The cost to summon the Djinn is longevity. Four weeks per second. So, for every minute, your max life limit will be decreased by more than four and a half years.

Along with that, a master of the Djinn can make a wish. The price will be depending on how great the wish is. I paid thousand years of longevity in exchange to escape the death from the Royal Ancestor.

Okay, I have stated everything I know about it. Now, I'm waiting for Vice President Crescent's judgment whether it is superior to that golden chalice or not."

Barton stared at him seriously. He was determined to acquire the Jewel at all costs.

Ramiel felt everyone's eyes on him. At the same time, Gedalya's face turned dark. He knew the true extent of the Djinn's powers even better than Barton. The War God Temple has records of them.

Meanwhile, Ramiel fell into a dilemma. His eyes are darting left and right. Both of them are heaven-defying items and neither is less precious than the other.

Right then, Gedalya spoke, "Vice President Crescent, I agree that the Djinn might be tempting but the Chalice of Athena will be more useful for an organization."

A few of them standing around nodded in agreement. However, the young couple from the Abel tower didn't agree with it.

Just when the girl was about to interrupt him, Gedalya continued, "How about a three-way transaction? You keep the Golden Chalice and I will give the Jewel of Life to Mr. Everglade in exchange for the Djinn."

His suggestion brought a huge surprise to everyone including even Barton. How could a person who was just haughtily claiming that the Jewel will be his, now, suddenly giving up on it?

None of the guests are fools either. They could clearly see that this man from War God Temple values the Djinn more than the Chalice and the Jewel. But, they are just outsiders at the moment and have no right to interfere. Only the Auction's host has the right to decide on what to do.

So, the guests and the Champions just looked at Ramiel to make a decision. With the Golden Chalice, the overall strength of WAMO improves. They can make it as a welcome bonus for every member that was a scout or put something else as criteria.

On the other hand, if he takes the Djinn, it could only be used at emergency times. Moreover, the organization might not allow any individual to possess it. Just like the jewel of life, the mirror will stay in the vaults.

After thinking deeply, weighing the pros and cons, Ramiel agreed to his suggestion and asked if Barton was okay with this deal. This Principal of Aclein Academy didn't care who the Djinn will end up as he already relinquished his ownership on it. Moreover, War God Temple isn't an enemy to him.

As the three of them came to an arrangement, they exchanged the goods with each other. Barton kept away the Jewel of Life, Ramiel kept away the Golden Chalice and Gedalya kept away the ownerless mirror. The Principal also gave an envelope to the Elder of the War God Temple. It contained the ritual to become Djinn's master.

Even though it was unnecessary, Gedalya took it for namesake with a smile. He felt that he was the biggest winner in the auction.

*Cling* Cling*

"Ladies and Gentlemen," The organizing committee head then informed everyone about the end of the auction and they are free to converse with the champions.

It was for this reason, the Auction was held specifically before the final segment is to let the champions.

A representative's financial strength is often considered the financial strength of an organization behind his back. If he's weak, no matter how popular and great his backing might be, the champions should understand that they aren't much interested in either feast or recruiting them.

Of course, being veteran participants in international tournaments, everyone except Leah and Team twilight understood that long ago. And by now, Azzy and others also had their first impressions based on the auction.

Soon, the adults began to converse with the teenagers in the hopes of scouting them.

Five of the eight legendary realm experts in the room seemed uninterested and were busy checking each other out.

The King left the hall very soon. Aegis was silent and not engaging with anyone.

Central Academy instructor brought a few guests and was introducing his team members. It's the same with the other instructors with everything being prearranged.

Surprisingly, Ramiel walked out of the room, taking Gideon with him to talk about something important. Is it some clan business? Azzy wondered.

Then, he looked at Mia, who was engaging in a conversation with Helix. Barton was with her just in case.

Snivy, on the other hand, seemed to be popular. She was surrounded by four exalt realm experts of different organizations and companies. Those people are competing with each other in offering better terms and signing bonuses. Sahara was looking after her as the busty loli was being overwhelmed.

As for Claire, she was silently standing beside Azzy. Because of her status as the Princess of the Triastal kingdom, no one dared to try scouting her.

It was also the same with Leah but unlike with Claire, people are talking with this princess, not to scout her but to establish connections with Camelot and gain something. Triastal doesn't allow foreign organizations to set up branches in the kingdom. With no possibility of gains, no one felt the need to talk with her.

"But, what about me?" Azzy himself was confused as to why no one is approaching him. He could still feel the gazes from those powerful legendary realm experts but no one is stepping forward. It's as if the one who makes the first move loses.

If it was before, Azzy would careless about anyone. However, after meeting with his future self, he realized that it's not bad to have a normal life like others. It's not like he had many great memories in the Death clan. So, for Azzy, staying with his friends became important.

After returning to the future, he can later revive the memories that they had with him. Right now, Azzy was in no hurry to go to the Arcana World and get stronger quickly.

Despite not being interested to join any organization, he at least wanted to know his worth, whether someone is interested to recruit him or not. But, unlike his expectations, he was just standing there along with Claire.

Because of the kissing incident, Claire was too shy and nervous to talk to him at the moment while Azzy couldn't hold any conversation with her as he knew she'll be his wife in the future.

It was at that moment, a translucent envelope appeared suddenly popped in front of him. Since he only has very few contacts, Azzy wondered whether it was from Aegis or Barton.

Surprisingly, it was Gideon who sent him an audio message.

"Meet him at the rooftop?" Azzy felt a little bit suspicious. But, at the same time, he remembered that Gideon was with Ramiel who could be trusted.

"Maybe, that bodybuilder old man left and Gideon was being held as a hostage to lay a trap?" With how the King is absent, Azzy couldn't help but get weary of the situation.

He immediately opened up the message card where his master's signature was recorded, and wrote a message with his soul energy, and sent it.

Barton, who was listening to Helix's offer to Mia, suddenly turned his attention towards Azzy. He has a look of surprise.

"I'll be right back in a second." After excusing himself, Barton went to a corner and contacted Ramiel.

After confirming that Gideon is safe and sound, he informed Azzy the same.

Meanwhile, at the rooftop, Gideon said to Ramiel, "He's coming. I only have one question, Vice President Crescent."

"Gideon, you can address me as Master. Anyway, what is it?"

"If he refuses, will I still be your disciple or is this an offer linked to his joining WAMO?" Gideon's face was dead serious.
