My Soul card is a Reaper

While the rest of the lower grade students are on their way to the school gate, the upper-grade students of all divisions except for the dropouts division were summoned at the training grounds-1.

Azzy followed Gideon and the rest of the class to the downstairs.

He saw a group of around 17 members gathered on the side. Azzy saw there are hardly any girls in this group. He wondered whether this is a male-dominated school or something…

Once again, he saw the pretty sister and the arrogant student council president.

They were called to stand along with them so that the Elite division can move together.

Azzy and Leonard's eyes met. The latter's expression darkened while Azzy looked at him blankly for a second before he followed the rest. Azzy was the only one in grade-8 who didn't greet him.

Leo thought of teaching him a lesson in the combat class.

*Clap* Getting everyone's attention, Zona said, "Okay, now that all of us are here, let's get going…"

As Azzy followed the group from behind, he realized they were going in the same direction as the auditorium.

Only after getting there, he found out that the training grounds is right behind the school auditorium, all along. The wall behind the auditorium that he thought to be the outer walls of the school turned out to be the wall for the training ground-1.

Upon reaching the massive door, Leo everyone to wait until the students from the other three divisions have also arrived.

Despite their age, gender, or rank, they greeted the Elite division with a light bow. It was actually more like they are greeting the Prince but since the rest of the members are standing behind him, it appeared that way.

The girls in other groups, especially grade-9 and grade-10 are murmuring among themselves.

With his current strength, it wasn't hard for Azzy to hear their murmurings. All it needs a light concentration.

But, soon, he realized that it's just a useless discussion of how handsome the student council president or the vice president looks… They are made for each other, blah, blah…

Leo then used his key card to unlock the entrance and after everyone entered the place, he locked it. "Let's go…"

Standing on the platform, Azzy looked around in curiosity since it is the first time he's here.

He found out that this training ground is quite different from the one he went to participate in a test.

Instead of some barren land, it has a number of various habitats.

"This isn't a natural habitat…" Azzy mumbled to himself.

Gideon, who heard it from beside explained, "You are right. This round was made by the Principal when the school is founded. At first, it just contained different habitats but over the course of time, the academy further developed it.

"I see…" Azzy nodded.

A few students nearby glanced in their direction upon listening to their talk. After all, that kind of information is known to everyone. As they were unfamiliar with Azzy, they wondered whether he's a transfer student.

Azzy felt the gazes for a while but since he was used to it, he didn't care about it but what troubled him is a certain gaze from somewhere. It was a malicious gaze.

"Hoho… Interesting…" Reaper's voice filled his head once again.

Azzy asked him, "What is it, Chronos?"

But, there's no reply from him.

At first, he thought of Leonard as he's the only one who hates him but it proved otherwise. Leo was busy talking with his friends.

Then, who is it? He found it was from another student nearby him but wasn't able to figure out who. Having no other choice, Azzy behaved as if he didn't sense it.

They reached a hall, containing three sections and a podium with a large screen on the wall.

Since divisions or grades don't matter anymore, they sat together. Azzy ended up sitting with Gideon. On his left, a girl took the empty spot. Since it is the first day and no one wore any uniform, Azzy didn't figure out which division she's from.

"Hello…" A sweet voice entered his ears.

Azzy turned his head. He found a fellow foreigner. Even without talking to her, just looking at her blonde hair and ocean blue eyes, one would figure out that she isn't a citizen of the north Qudour nation.

Either that or one of her parents might be foreigners and she received their genes.

As Azzy looked at the girl, he found out she's just a high-rank-3. The only thing that stood out about this 14-year-old girl is her appearance, which is unique compared to the rest of the schoolmates. She can be considered beautiful but not the popular type to date.

He returned the greetings with a plain tone. "Hello…"

"I haven't seen you around before. Are you a transfer student?"

She asked the same question as Gideon at the orientation.

He nodded.

"I'm Claire Lefeuvre, Soul weapon division, grade-9."

'Lefeuvre? What a surname. Her accent is also a bit different… Maybe, a noble from a distant country?'

Putting his thoughts aside, he replied, "Azrael, Elite division, grade-8."

"Nice meeting you." She smiled. He nodded blankly.

After that, there was no conversation between them. Maybe, she wasn't interested to talk to him anymore. Who knows…

Their teacher arrived at the classroom.

When tried to sense her rank, Azzy felt that this old lady is more powerful than the old Avia, which explains her strength must be atleast mid-rank-7.

"Who is she?" he took the initiative to ask Gideon, this time.

"Sahara Fauns, our academy's vice-principal." Misunderstanding that he asked her, Claire quickly answered him, "she's the only rank-7 in the academy except for the Principal. She's his wife, by the way. Together, they found the school. Hah! how romantic is that..."

'Two rank-7 couple…' Azzy was indeed amazed. Even though the Death clan contained many experts, he didn't see a single couple that gets to live 1000 years together. How amazing is that…

The only couple he heard in the clan is his parents.

"Hello, new students." She addressed the grade-8 that is new to this subject. "My name is Sahara Fauns. You can call me Mrs. Fauns. Don't need to be too formal with me…"

Azzy was excited about this lesson. Not only will his fellow classmates start learning with him but also he was interested to see what kind of skill cards he can create with his attribute.

"Now, let us start with the introduction. To put into simpler terms, Card Creation follows the same way as one creates their soul card except that you will manifest it according to your will."

She raised her hand and Azzy saw visible soul energy on her right palm. In her left hands, a blank card appeared. Showing it to others, she continued, "All you need is to concentrate on controlling your soul energy and seal it into the blank cards."

The blank card sucked the soul energy that was dancing on her palm and a drawing appeared.

The screen behind her showed the skill card.
