My Soul card is a Reaper

"Student Azrael…" The instructor called out to Azzy, who crouched down to ask Vajra whether it knows the soul skills. "Hmm?" He looked at the instructor.

"Let me ask you something. Didn't your previous school teach how to use soul skill?" The instructor asked him.

Azzy replied, "I'm homeschooled."

The instructor then asked, "what about your parents?"

"I grew up in an orphanage…" Azzy's reply stunned the instructor.

He thought, 'an orphan, homeschooled, and yet, his soul power is this high. Even if his Arcana is a platinum grade spirit, it's impossible to rise this much without killing the monsters in the wild.'

"So, you don't know how to use soul skill," Hermon said with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Azzy nodded, implying yes.

Just then, the wolf barked towards him.

Upon hearing Vajra, Azzy quickly changed his stance, "but my Arcana says, it knew how to battle and use soul skill on its own."

His reply clearly surprised Hermon as well as Zona.

She mumbled, 'so, he's a summoner. No wonder…'

Summoners are the people who let their Arcana do their work. The advantage of such a profession is that Arcana can train in the mindscape on their own and have the innate ability to use soul skills.

During the battle, such Arcana is also independent of its host. This feature is like a double-edged sword though.

The disadvantage is that the summoner won't get a soul skill on his own. So, he's pretty much useless in battle and often be the first one to be targeted.

To avoid this, they have no choice but to stock up the skill cards. This way, they can not only survive but also can support their Arcana as well as their teammates from a distance.

But, right now, Hermon didn't care about that. In his mind, there's the only thing. To experience the soul skills of extremely rare platinum grade Arcana's abilities…

"Okay, then, as I've said, I'm restricting the strength of my Didier to rank-4."

The golem stepped forward and stood like a statue.

Vajra got angered as if it got humiliated by his words.

Azzy felt his rage through his connection.

*Grr* The black wolf growled as it looked at its enemy while the black lightning sparks on its body increased for a moment before it disappeared all of a sudden.

The kids were shocked. Zona was stupefied along with them, not believing her eyes. The instructor stood there in a daze before he slowly turned his head towards the golem.

"What the…" Even Azzy can't help but almost cursed out as he saw the wolf already reached behind the golem as if it was teleported. Meanwhile, there's a big hole in the middle of the Golem's chest.

*Thud*

It fell on its back and died.

The whole training ground is silent as Vajra slowly returning towards Azzy.

"Hmpf" Azzy felt like the wolf snorted as it passed the Golem's dead body and returned to Azzy.

"Didier…" The instructor screamed as he ran towards the Golem. He quickly unsummoned it back to the soul card, so that, it can revive later. Even though an Arcana spirit is immortal and can't die until its host dies, depending on its grade, the revival time will vary.

According to everyone's knowledge, Arcana Spirits are divided into seven grades.

White, Red, Blue, Silver, Purple, Gold, and Platinum;

Naturally, a monster of higher grade is a number of times stronger than a lower grade.

For example, if the combat strength of white grade spirit is 1. Then, Red grade spirit will be 2, the blue grade spirit will be 4, the Silver grade spirit will be 8, the Purple grade spirit will be 20, the Gold grade spirit will be 50, and the Platinum grade spirit will be 200.

That means if the hosts aren't involved and only the Arcana are battling on their own, a lower-ranked Platinum grade Arcana will sweep the upper-ranked white grade with ease, although it depends on the difference between their ranks.

And there are also other things to consider like differences between soul skills, techniques, battle experience, etc… There are a number of ways, a lower grade Arcana can defeat a higher grade Arcana but under the same circumstances, the latter always triumphs over the former.

Vajra is an Arcana spirit that used to be the weapon of the King of the Celestial world of Heaven. Something that a god used to wield.

With Protos energy combined, its strength only becomes higher.

So, it's safe to say that even if a Golem still has rank-6, a Silver grade isn't a match for Vajra that transcends the platinum grade.

The most common grade one can see is the Silver or Blue grade. Purple-grade Arcana spirits are attention-worthy. Gold grade spirits are favored everywhere. As for Platinum, only a son/ daughter of heaven will possess them.

*Wow* The wolf barked towards Azzy and wagged its tail like a dog yearning for praise.

Azzy crouched down and stroked its fur, "Good job."

Vajra disappeared into the soul card.

Meanwhile, taking back the Arcana into his soul card, the instructor pointed his finger at the wolf. His finger is shaking as he said, "Your Arcana is of Platinum grade. What is its name?"

"I call it, Vajra," Azzy replied to him in a calm tone, implying that it is a nickname.

"The same name as the top 3rd Arcana spirit. Good." Despite losing his face in front of the kids, he didn't feel embarrassed but instead, he was excited to see a platinum grade Arcana from up close.

"I give you full marks. No doubt, you are selected for the Elite division. I hope to see you at the World League, soon." Hermon shook hands with Azzy and told him to join Zona and the rest of them.

As Azzy returned to the group, he felt everyone's gazes on him. Most of them are filled with envy while the rest of them are filled with admiration.

'A platinum grade spirit, huh. It's my first time seeing such a thing in person. I wonder how Leo will react if hears this…' She can't help but grin upon remembering that Prince's expression.

Meanwhile, the instructor called the other two transfer students one by one.

Since it will take several days for his Arcana to revive and heal, he asked them to perform their attacks directly towards him.

Since they are nothing but peak two-star ranks, they were easily handled in a spar and received low scores simultaneously, allotting them into dropout division in their respective grades.

After scoring the three transfer students, the instructor then took out a gold-colored card and placed it on the ground before pouring his soul power into it.

It shined for a while and a digital machine appeared before them. It kinda looked like a scoring machine in Arcade games except that it was a blank screen.

Azzy saw there's even an insert option.

Pointing at it, he said, "This is a gold grade analyzing machine. All you have to do is to insert your soul card and the data will be displayed on the screen.

This machine can display the exact amount of your soul power, the innate potential of the soul card, and the grade of your Arcana spirit.

Since you are just rank-1 beginners, everyone's score will be decided by this method.

Form a line, everyone."

Except for Zona, and the three transfers, everyone listened to the instructor.

The first student nervously summoned the soul card and hesitated to insert it.

Understanding his concern, Hermon spoke, "don't worry, not even a rank-9 can destroy or take away one's soul card."

Trusting the instructor, as he inserted the soul card as one would insert in the ATM, it came out after five seconds.

The student took back his soul card while the data is displayed on the screen.

"Age: 4 months

Soul power: 43

Rank: 1

Arcana Spirit: Spiral Platypus

Grade: Silver

Potential: Rank-6

Overall Score: 72"

The instructor nodded calmly, "good. You are allotted to Soul beast division, Class 3A. Next."

"You are allotted to Soul weapon division, Class 3B. Next"

"You are allotted to Dropouts division, Class 3E. Next."

If it was before, Hermon would be excited to find so many talents but now, even with a student who has a Purple grade Arcana, he doesn't feel excited at all.

After everyone's results are over, Zona said, "Junior Azrael, don't you want to see your Arcana's data?"
