Location- Sky Blossom City, Lion Cubs High, Teacher’s Lounge

Kathy laid on the floor powerless being slapped by Cortney, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth and a fresh red handprint was visible on her face. I used my soul pupils to check on Kathy, it turns out she was a Card Master she should not be so defenceless against Cortney’s slap unless Cortney used a passive ability of a card. Kathy still appeared to be muddle-headed. As for Andrea, that bitch of a principal he was still bowing as punishment, I was right here but I did not have the slightest idea of what was going on. Even facing a card emperor I was not this helpless.

“Wyatt, I hope you are strong enough to kill me tomorrow because I don’t want to kill you.” Courtney finally stopped crying, wiping her tears off. She looked at me with a gaze that raised goosebumps all over my body. Then turning to Andrea she said, “help me register for the tournament.”

“Yes! Young lady” saying that Andrea Stood straight only to be yelled at by Cortney again, ” did I give you permission to stand straight.”

Begging for forgiveness again, Andrea in a bowing pose took Kathy’s file to search for a liability waiver. Thankfully Kathy carried extra waivers on her. Filling the info required by the liability waiver he gave the waiver to Cortney for her signature. Having signed the Waiver, Cortney left, taking one last glance at me.

Five minutes after Cortney left, Andrea finally stood straight and yelled profanities that even I had not heard of. Calming down he then used a therapy card on Kathy to bring her back to senses.

“Where’s that bitch!” Having awakened Kathy searched for Cortney, she was no humanitarian; she wanted payback but Cortney had already left. Kathy may look soft but she was raised in slums by a single mother there every day was a fight for survival. And Her card master realm was not just for show.

“Class teacher Kathy! Enough. She is not someone you can offend, forget this incident and be grateful she did not kill you. Please head to the school infirmary just to be sure, she did not hide something mortal in you.” Andrea advised Kathy. I had already checked with my soul pupils Cortney didn’t leave any hidden danger in Kathy.

“Yes, sir.” Hearing the principal’s warning Kathy hurriedly headed to the infirmary for a proper check-up. As Kathy left Andrea finally sighed and slumped on his chair in his career this chair has never been as comfortable as today.

“Care to explain?” I asked, seeing Andrea taking his sweet time relaxing and trying to avoid the topic.

“Who asked you to offend the emperor of the south?” Retorted Andrea.

“What? Be clearer.” When did I offend Anna, instead I am under her protection.

“Today early morning a piece of news started to circulate between upper echelons. A powder that can help mortals cultivate active soul control has been found, the discoverer is a high school student and a resident of our sky blossom city. Nobody believed so they checked for the patent, and such a patent happened to be granted.

Then another news circulated that the high school boy gave the exclusive rights to his patent to card emperor Anna Heatsend for her protection.

Then another news circulated that the high school boy made use of the card emperor’s trust to cheat her of 35% royalty.

Then the higher-ups in the sky blossom passed a request to Lion Cubs high asking to change the rules of the tournament and allow any 18-year-old or below resident of the sky blossom city to participate in the tournament and also the participants must sign Liability Waiver.

Later a rumour started to circulate stating that anybody who will kill Dalton Wyatt in the tournament will gain the favour of the southern watch and their commander.

And that crazy girl Cortney is a disciple of the Circle’s hunting dog codename clown mask. In a way, the Crazy girl is my superior.

Since you are the shadow leader of the budding TSR guild you should know about the Circle.

That’s the summary of what happened! So are you still participating in the tournament? ” Andrea summarised everything that happened in the Sky blossom city after I tricked Anna into giving me 35% royalty.

Hearing Andrea summarise what happened in such a small period I was shocked. To think all this happened in a single morning. It seems Anna found out about my relationship with the TSR guild. It was obvious but how did she know that I was the shadow leader, the one controlling everything in the TSR guild from shadows. Considering Anna was the ruler of the south it was not surprising that she could find all my secrets and I was not that keen on hiding my ties with the TSR guild.

Most important of all, how did that bitch manage to bypass the soul contract. No! She did not completely manage to bypass the soul contract otherwise Anna herself would come for my life, she made use of the loopholes in the soul contract.

By revealing to everyone that I had a 35% royalty of silver milk powder Anna gathered their jealousy onto me.

By revealing that I tricked her she told everyone that our relationship was sour and she wanted me dead more than alive but had to protect me due to soul contract.

So now everyone in the sky blossoming city thinks that by killing me in tomorrow’s tournament they can gain the favour of a card emperor.

In a way Anna did not break any rules of the soul contract as she did not ask the people of sky blossom city to kill me, they came to that conclusion by themselves. That is it! That bitch.

But there are two loopholes to this,

1.I could just not participate in tomorrow’s tournament.

2.how do they plan on killing me under the protection of Anna the emperor of the south.
