My Soul card is a Reaper

"You…" Leo\'s face turned red as he clenched his fist tightly.

It\'s been only a week and this brat only offended him, the member of the Royal family but he also disrespected his words so many times.

Even if this guy doesn\'t care about the royal family, he should at least give a face to the Student council president who is also the head of the disciplinary committee but Leo fails to acquire even the minimum amount of respect from him.

For the past week, to not appear petty, Leo didn\'t touch Azzy and only thought of teaching him a lesson at the Arcana World but after seeing his potential combining with his rebellious actions, Leo\'s rage even increased further.

Even though he wanted to kill Azzy, Leo never killed someone before, so he still has some guilty conscience. But, Azzy\'s earlier actions removed the last shred of guilt left inside Leo.

Now, he doesn\'t feel guilty at all. Leo turned around and continued to walk. "Let\'s go."

"Hmm?" Azzy frowned as he looked at Leo\'s back. \'Is this hate? No, this is malicious intent.\'

"Where did you go, anyway?" Gideon asked him slowly. "You disappeared all of a sudden."

"Oh! I sensed a few people who are in need of help but it turns out that those kids are training and blamed me for interrupting."

"kids?" Gideon was taken aback. If Azzy was using the term kids, then, that means, they are of a lower grade at least by two grades.

Grade-6 or lower grade people at a level-2 region like Nlethemar... He wondered whether they belong to some top academies.

"Who are they? Gideon asked him.

"They said they are from Phoenix Academy." Azzy replied calmly before asking, "ever heard of it?"

Suddenly, everyone halted their steps. Even Leo couldn\'t help but turn around in surprise.

Meanwhile, Ranier widened his eyes and pointed his finger at Azzy, "do you met Phoenix Academy students?"

As Azzy nodded, Gideon exclaimed, "wow. You are incredibly lucky. Do you know that they are one of the top-3 academies here? It\'s also the only All-girl special academy."

"I see. No wonder all of them have peak-rank-3 soul ranks despite being so young…" They didn\'t see any reaction from Azzy. His comment was casual as if he was saying it\'s expected.

Azzy\'s comment made Gideon shook his head with a sigh. After spending a week with him, Gideon already understood Azzy\'s personality.

No matter what kind of situation it is, either nothing interests him or he can\'t express his emotions at all. Gideon believed it\'s the former case after seeing his strength and the gold-grade storage card that he possessed.

Meanwhile, Leo was excited as he knew how proud those students will be. \'He offended the Phoenix Academy students. Even if Azrael was killed, as long as I can drag their name, no one will bother to investigate too much.\'

"Guys… let\'s go…" Leo failed to hide his smile which made them wonder what happened to this leader who was angry at one second and happy at another.

The team of four continued their journey for a couple of hours before they found a habitat.

Looking from the edge of the cliff, Azzy saw a lot of Galarians lazing around each lightning crystal. Some are rank-3 and some are rank-4 in Silver and Purple grades…

"Oh! So these are the Galarian beasts, huh!" Azzy mumbled to himself as watching the familiar-looking beasts he earlier fought.

Leo then looked at Gideon and said, "this is the Galarian habitat. You can choose a monster you like. I\'ll cover you with other beasts while you lure the one you like but if you were to ask me, it\'s better to go into that cave."

He pointed in a certain direction.

Azzy and the other two looked in the direction where his finger was pointing towards.

There were several small caves on the edge of the field. There\'s a large mountain after that, blocking their view of what lies behind it.

"That is the boundary of level-2. Shelyra mountain acts as the barrier between this region and the level-3 region of Shelyra. Originally, it is called Xula but after a rank-9 Expert who fought against the beast tide during the Seventh Epoch, they changed the name to her.

But anyway, those aren\'t important.

The cave which is on the edge of the field has a lot of pure lightning crystals. You can find gold-grade mutated beasts which will help you a lot. Are you up for it?"

Since he was here to become stronger, Gideon naturally chose the risky route.

"Here…" Leo then took out a purple grade card. As soon as he pours his soul power, the card activated, and a large glass but with a hard surface appeared in front of them.

Jumping on it, he gestured everyone to get on this purple grade Flying Skill card that can carry 10 people at once.

With the help of the Flying skill card, they bypassed the monsters and stops before the cave. "let\'s get it."

As Azzy entered one of the caves, he found it was way too big than he imagined. There\'s a long path that leads to the underground cavern.

Because of the glowing lightning crystals, they didn\'t have a problem with visibility in this dimly lit cave.

"Everyone, stick together and depend on your senses. Only Galarians won\'t reside here. There are other monsters lurk in the darkness too.

Even if we get separated, all of you must stay nearby a lightning crystal, so that it will be easier to battle in case something attacks."

Summoning his giant Mantis, Leo further said, "It\'s best if all of you summon your Arcana, and Azrael, don\'t summon yours."

Before anyone misunderstands his statement, Leo explained, "You have a platinum-grade beast. It might be useful to scare the surrounding beasts but it will also pressure our Arcana which makes it only hard to fight at our best.

Gideon also can\'t accomplish the task, this way. Your physical strength is more than enough to deal with the monsters, anyway."

Gideon frowned upon hearing Leo\'s words. He wondered whether this Prince was purposely making things harder for Azzy but he also can\'t refute his words. Gideon and Ranier knew that their Arcana fears Azzy\'s black wolf.

Even though Azzy\'s thoughts were also in the same line as Gideon, he nodded as he was indeed confident to deal with any monster out there. "Alright."

Step by step, they walked down the road while Azzy activated his Aura sensing to check the positions of the monsters.

Immediately, his face turned dark and a deep frown appeared on his face as he stared forward. \'This isn\'t a gold grade. This aura, it\'s a lot higher… Is it a Platinum grade? The overlord?\'

Two miles deep into the cavern, a Galarian was resting nearby a lightning crystal. Unlike the others, this one has two horns on its forehead and it was white with black stripes.

It opened its eyes and sniffed, \'intruders. A rank-5 human with two rank-4 and a rank-3?\'

It stood up on its feet and suddenly, transformed into a handsome young man with long white hair. He crouched down and picked up the clothes that were lying nearby.

Wearing them, he grinned and mumbled in a human language, "It\'s been a while since my last hunt. I wonder how their tender meat will taste." He licked his lips.
