Card Apprentice Daily Log

Time- 23:46

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Southern Royal Palace, Royal Guest Palace No.1

"What funny business are you up to, bringing me to an empty bedroom?" Jill asked Ann, believing that Ann might be planning to confine her in an empty room since the royal guards refused to arrest her under false charges. 

Jill had read a similar plot in some romantic . Where the disgruntled stalker of the male lead locks the female lead in an abandoned room. For obvious reasons, Jill was reminded of that plot in her current circumstance.

Jill did not know that the empty bedroom Ann had led her to was currently being occupied by the boy as the last time she visited the guest palace the boy had received her in the guest palace hall. Hence the misunderstanding. 

"Wyatt, I know you can hear me, come out. I need to talk to you," Ann ignored Jill and shouted in hopes that the boy could hear her from his mobile space card lab. 

"..." Jill looked at Ann as if looking at a nutcase and chose to keep her thoughts to herself while patiently waiting. 

"Call Wyatt," Getting no response but looks from Jill, Ann summoned her grimoire to call the boy. However, before her call could connect the boy suddenly appeared in the room. 

"What are you two doing here late at night? What do you want?" transferring out of the seed world I was surprised to see Jill and Ann in the same room together after the last time when Jill's physique went haywire due to Ann's strong pheromones nullifying its own. 

"Wyatt, you broke through to the card master realm congrats," Ann congratulated the boy for breaking through to a higher realm having felt the change in his soul energy level.

As for Jill, her face was flushed and she stared at the boy like a pig in heat. Jill was barely able to utter the following words, "Wyatt, it seems your physique has grown stronger~ah"

Feeling her condition worsen Jill summoned her grimoire and chanted, "A-astral coffinN!" 

Summoning a huge wooden coffin in the middle of the room, Jill reluctantly locked herself in it. Soon to the boy and Ann's surprise, an astral projection of Jill phased out of the wooden coffin. 

"What the…" Ann almost cussed in surprise seeing Jill's odd actions. 

"Sorry, my body is unwell so I can only use this means to communicate," Jill's astral protection used telepathy to convey her thoughts to Ann and the boy simultaneously.

"What are you saying? You were fine a few minutes ago," Ann looked at Jill skeptically. 

"Interesting, you separated your spiritual body from your physical body to suppress the side effects. Smart," After the baptism, my physiques and traits have grown stronger and I gained new ones too. So I wasn't surprised that Jill's physique had such a strong reaction to my body. 

"I was able to think of this method thanks to your VR-Slime card. When I entered the VR-Universe with my spiritual body I noticed the difference and thought of using this method to suppress the side effects," Jill explained. She and the boy choose their words carefully to avoid revealing information about her physique. 

Seeing the boy and Jill sharing some kind of secret and talking about it, Ann felt left out as she had no idea what they were talking about. This caused Ann's jealousy to flare up once again but to not let the boy witness her ugly side Ann suppressed her envy and rage and then put on a forced smile on her face. As if she was not bothered in any way.

"I see, then I have just the right card for you, it will be a step up from using this Astral coffin card. I will create it for you when I have some free time on my hands," I said, thinking of a better card that Jill could use to separate her spiritual body from her physical body in public. 

"Really! Thank you, Wyatt," Jill was overwhelmed with happiness hearing the boy's words and thought, 'he does care about me.'

"No need to thank me. The card will not be for free, it is going to cost you a fortune," I reminded Jill that I don't do things for free. 

"..." The boy's words left Jill without words and then she grudgingly added, "Fine, it better be a damn good card."

"Don't worry the card will not only meet all your requirements but also go beyond that. Tell you what, if you bring me more clients for bulk purchase of VR-Slime cards I will create the card I speak of for you as an incentive," I suggested to Ann. This worked better for me. Ever since I have tasted earning devil-grade ingredients I no longer planned to go back to earning soul jades. 

"Aren't you generous?" Jill sneered as she added, "First you need to be alive and a free man for that."

"What do you mean?" I asked Jill, frowning my brows. 

"Did you or did you not accept to attend the early admission interview of the Morningstar University tomorrow at 9:45 at Prestige Four Seasons' Exlor hall?" Jill asked the boy, appearing to be mysterious.

"Oh, I see you heard about it, huh," I said nonchalantly and then asked, "I did, so what about it?" 

Listening to the boy both Ann and Jill were dumbfounded, and Ann yelled, "Wyatt, how can you act so casually about this? And why did you not inform me about this." 

"I did not inform you about this because it is none of your business and also I thought you guys were monitoring all my calls and texts," I was aware the Southern royal family can trace my activity on the grimoire network and it was one of the reasons why I choose to fuse my Demon Merchant Codex with my grimoire. 

"Yes, we were but for some unknown reason, we can no longer monitor your calls anymore. Don't tell me you are behind it. How did you achieve that?" Ann owned up to the fact that her family was sparing no efforts to surveil the boy and his actions but their efforts were proving to be a failure.
