Hero Aba Windsor who saved the world with her overpowered origin cards, heavenly physique & traits, along with her demigod father's inheritance was a one-of-a-kind martial arts card prodigy the card world had ever seen. 

To defeat the three mischiefs that forced the current government and the royal families into hiding, Aba needed to be an overpowered all arounder. So that she could counter everything they could throw at her. 

To be able to take on the three mischiefs and end their regime all by herself, Aba was the most powerful and influential being in the card world in the Clown Mask's future vision. 

However, the Aba Windsor in front of me was nothing like the heroic figure portrayed in the Clown Mask's future vision. She did not have any overpowered origin cards nor heavenly physique & traits or her demigod father's inheritance. She was just a spoiled little girl on the verge of being addicted to Virtual Reality. 

I needed the heroic Aba portrayed in the Clown Mask's future vision, not the spoiled little girl in front of me. So, I decided to use Aba's addiction to shape her into my version of heroic Aba Windsor. 

I could do nothing about the overpowered origin cards, heavenly physique & traits, and demigod father's inheritance that Aba had in the Clown Mask's future vision but I could uncover her untapped potential as a martial arts prodigy and make the full use of it to nudge her to walk a heroic path she was destined to walk under the direction of Asong Young. 

While Agatha did her best to persuade Aba to stop demanding a soul contract I walked right in front of Aba dent over so that we both were at the same eye level. Making eye contact with Aba I said, "Aba, I see you as my friend. So, seeing you go down a path of no return I had to step in. You know better than planning to live in a make-believe world. No matter how hard you try to avoid it you will have to face the real world someday. 

I am not asking you to abandon the comfort of virtual reality but be smart about it and make use of the comfort of virtual reality to prepare for reality. 

Trust me, no matter how real the fake thing is it will never amount to the same as the real thing. 

In three months I will be attending Morningstar University with my friends and if you consider yourself as my friend you will join as an equal." 

With the word equal, I highlighted the difference in my and Aba's strength to Aba indirectly. In this card world where jungle rules were unspoken rules, strength was a sign of respect, honor, and pride. 

Aba gazed into the boy's eyes as she listened to his words, and felt that every word he spoke was genuine and from his heart. Aba's eyes turned moist thinking, 'He did consider me as a friend.'

Then closing her eyes to hold in her tears and control her emotions, Aba said, "Wyatt, I know it must have been hard for you to say these words to me in front of everyone with your aloof personality. 

Thank you, for being my friend and caring about me. 

I promise you, I will enroll in MorningStar University along with you as your equal. Let us skip the soul contract and let this be a verbal agreement between you and me." 

Listening to Aba's promise I nodded to which she solemnly nodded and resolutely declared, "I will graduate from the martial arts school in VR-universe before the university starts." 

"I believe in you princess," Agatha cheered. 

Aba nodded her head in confidence and then turning to Laura she said, "Laura, I am sure the martial arts school teaches sword arts, do you want to attend the school with me?" 

Laura didn't immediately respond to Aba's request, instead turned to Ann and asked, "Your Highness, can I learn sword arts in VR-Universe?" 

"The teacher chosen by my grandma to teach you sword arts is stationed at Way Beyond, he can't leave his post until somebody relieves him. That ain't happening anytime soon. So, if it is possible to learn sword art in VR-Universe, sure go ahead. It is better than wasting your time waiting around," Ann answered Laura after giving it a thought. Then Ann, Aba, and Laura turned to look at the boy for an answer.

"Yes, it is possible. The martial arts school I am enrolling Aba in the VR-Universe has a Sword Peak where the practitioners devoting their life to the sword path practice and teach sword art. If you want to, I can enroll you along with Aba," hearing my answer Aba and Laura's eyes shone. Aba was enthusiastic about attending school with a friend and Laura was enthusiastic about learning new sword arts.

"Thank you, Master Wyatt," Laura thanked the boy for helping her enroll in the martial arts school in VR-Universe. 

"Great, Laura we are going to be classmates," Aba exclaimed, seeing her so happy Agatha smiled and asked the boy, "Wyatt, do you plan on giving this card to Susan? If you have no arrangements for that I can help you with that." 

Seeing Aba get so happy to attend a school with one friend, Agatha thought Aba will be happier if she gets to attend school with Susan. 

"Yes, Susan can also attend martial arts school with us in the VR-Universe. I call her and ask about it right away, " Aba yelled with great excitement before summoning her grimoire preparing to call Susan. 

"Aba, how about you hold off on that for now? The auction is about to start, let us talk business first," Ann suddenly proposed interrupting Aba from calling Susan. 

Listening to Ann say that the atmosphere in the room turned cold. As everyone in the room was aware of Susan's relationship with the boy and Ann's intention for the boy. The cold silence did not bother Ann, as she was confident and not afraid to get what she wanted. Especially when the boy too seemed to have feelings for her.
