My Soul card is a Reaper

"Student Mia," Sahara called out Mia's name, surprising everyone. "You are an intermediate Card Master, so, in my class, you will be the monitor."

"Yes." Mia calmly nodded and took her seat. She didn't know how much of a surprise she gave to her friends. None of the students, not even Azzy thought of her when the vice principal hinted one of them is an intermediate card master.

Of course, Azzy knew the regulations to become one. So, unlike others, he didn't think of himself but thought someone from the transfer students might be the one. How in the world did Mia become one without him knowing?

Even if Mia doesn't tell him, it's fine. Then, what about Claire? She's Mia's best friend, right? Wouldn't she know of it beforehand? If that's the case, then, Claire kept it as a secret from him? Maybe, Mia asked her to do so?

Several thoughts appeared in Azzy's mind and he turned her head to see his girlfriend only to realize that she was also shocked just like others.

According to the regulations of the Card Master Council, to become an intermediate Card master, not only one has to demonstrate the skill of creating four-star skill cards in all the seven attributes but also create three item cards such as message cards, flying cards, and storage cards of at least Bronze grade.

Once they were able to fulfill the requirements, all they have to take a test at Card Master Council and gain the two-star badge from the council. The certificate from this world organization is usually considered as an official status.

While Azzy passed the exam with flying colors by rapidly creating gold-star skill cards of four-star level, he wasn't as proficient in creating other attribute cards as Mia. Unlike her, he was also bad at creating item cards too. It is the reason he was still at the beginner stage like others.

Sahara continued with giving demonstrations of some of the known skill cards after providing each student with hundred blank cards. All of them are bronze-plated. So, only one-star to three-star skill cards can be created on them. Along with them, low-grade item cards can also be made.

"My attribute is fire." Sahara created a two-star fireball before everyone just like on the first day of the previous academic years. "Before you think of creating other attributes, concentrate on your attribute.

The basic skill cards are usually created just by pouring soul energy into the card, although you need to control it. To do that, the focus is very much required. Now, do as I say…"

As instructed, Flora placed a blank card on the desk before placing the palm on it. She gathered all of her soul energy and poured into it to create a two-star skill card instead of starting with one-star. The overall soul power is only number 292 but Azzy was surprised by the density of soul energy erupting out of her palm.

It can't be compared to his but it was still dense enough for her to almost lose her control over it as she was trying to contain all the soul energy into the card.

"This…" Azzy's eyes widened as he saw the pure white energy. "Ice attribute? Is it why Estella was originally assigned to her as the mentor?"

Then, his eyes shifted to her face. She was gritting her teeth and her entire arm is trembling.

He remembered how his first day went in the academy. He blew up the roof due to the lack of control.

Azzy pointed his finger and quickly sent a wisp of his soul energy towards the blank card to destroy her soul energy before it explodes.

A wisp of his dark soul energy worth only 100 soul power entered the blank card and got contacted with the out-of-control white energy. To both of their surprise, instead of destroying it, both of them merged to form an image of black snow on the card. On its back, two silver stars appeared.

"Eh?" Flora was taken aback to see the image. She never saw or heard of black snow in her life and thought it was amazing. After all, she succeeded on her first try and the result turned out to be something different from others. Is she a talented card master?

"Teacher," the little girl raised the card and called Sahara out of excitement. For a moment, she completely had forgotten Azzy's existence and showed off her success to the whole class. Despite feeling exhaustion because of low soul energy, she was in high spirits and waved the skill card as the vice principal walked to her desk to inspect the card closely upon seeing the black snow image on the card.

Her friend and rival, Anner's face darkened and she proceeded to recover her soul energy and try again.

Meanwhile, Sahara reached the desk and took the card from Flora's hands in curiosity. Upon observing closely, a frown appeared on her face as she asked the little girl, "Student Flora, is your attribute dark?"

Flora shook her head in confusion. Her attribute is water.

Azzy opened his mouth, "Ms. Fauns, it's a fusion skill card."

"Fusion skill card? What is that?" Flora and other lower-grade students wondered.

"I see. No wonder." Sahara nodded and gave the card back to Flora and said, "It looked like you got a compatible mentor."

"Huh?" Flora didn't get what she meant.

Seeing the confusion in Flora, Sahara explained, "Basically, you created a skill card with student Azrael's assistance. Because of the compatibility, they merged to form a new skill card, which has the properties of both of your soul energies.

Usually, one normally uses elemental crystals to create a dual or multi-attribute skill card but they can't be compared to the merging of two soul energies of different Arcana masters."

"Oh!" Flora's eyes lit up in delight. It was then she finally shifted her attention towards Azzy. "Senior, when did you assist me?" She asked.

"When your energy is going to get out of control," Azzy replied calmly despite being surprised himself. After all, it was a miracle to find such a strong soul energy that was able to withstand his corruptive and destructive death energy.

"Cool…" Flora looked like she was ecstatic and turned her attention towards the card before admiring it. She was thinking of boasting to her elder sister, later.

Sahara then warned her, "Unlike other skill cards, Fusion skill cards have risks due to the presence of different soul energies. Even the user might be harmed if handled wrongly. So, it's best to be careful. Never use such cards without your mentor monitoring you."

Flora got a little bit taken aback by the warning. Nevertheless, she nodded and put the card aside to recover her soul energy.

Before she returned to the stage, Sahara gave a suggestion while the little girl was recovering her soul energy, "student Flora, first, focus on creating 1-star cards before trying for the higher rank."

At that time, Flora nodded. But, once Sahara returned to the stage, she turned towards Azzy and asked, "Senior, how can one improve their control over soul energy? I can't control the consumption of soul power to that of rank-1."

"Hmm?" Azzy stared back at her in silence. It was in fact, the toughest question for him.

Flora felt nervous while wondering whether she had asked a stupid question. "Nevermind," she turned her attention to the desk to place the card and try for the next card creation.

As she slowly poured the soul energy into the blank card, Azzy opened his mouth, "I did it by rigorously training of soul energy's usage over and over to improve my control."

"Ah, I see. Thanks," Flora was embarrassed a little bit. She finally remembered how Azzy used to be famous for not being able to control his energy despite being an eighth-grade student.

Because the Champions League is where only the strong geniuses appear, the lack of controlling one's power is not a bit of a problem. Believing that he is the last person to ask the question, she shifted her focus to the blank card.

Meanwhile, Azzy took a couple of fire crystals out of his storage card and placed them on the desk.
