My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 592 Raydon and Serestia (part-2)

On the island, Azzy was standing alongside his superior from WAMO, Emerald Academy\'s Principal George Danvary, Dragon Academy\'s Vice Principal Alan, Phoenix Academy\'s Principal Amelia Hearth, Maple Academy\'s Principal Elowen, and Sun Academy\'s Principal Eldric Frost.

Apart from the Dragon Academy, Respective Principals of the remaining top-tier academies volunteered as representatives to watch over this annual trial, not because they were interested in this dungeon or the competition between the students.

It is due to the presence of the chief guest, the Supreme Commander of WAMO, Kruger. They wouldn\'t miss such an opportunity to interact with such an expert.

Azzy had to use several merits he accumulated over the years to invite his superior and also to buy the rewards he promised to give his clansmen who joined him in making this dungeon.

If not for the Principal roping in the other academies, Azzy wouldn\'t have invited the Supreme Commander. Due to the availability of talents, he thought it was a good opportunity to recruit them.

Just like the others, Commander Kruger was also staring at a floating giant mirror. The treasure belongs to WAMO and Azzy just rented it for this occasion.

With the help of this divine mirror, the user can watch everything within a 1000-kilometer radius. 

Azzy, who was connected with his undead beasts, controlled the mirror to display the live videos of various candidates.

Until a while ago, the mirror was displaying Raydon and Serestia. After they decided to take the break, Azzy changed it to some students of Phoenix Academy and Sun Academy. They were working together to clean up a monster zone in the fire habitat, where pits of volcanoes are randomly spitting flames.

However, the elephant in the room still happened to be those two.

Maple Academy\'s Elowen couldn\'t help but comment, "That girl is seriously a contender for becoming a pillar of the future. It\'s extremely rare to find such Arcana Masters who can unleash attribute energy at such a young age."

"I agree," Dragon Academy\'s Alan nodded. "If not for that past incident, I would love to scout her for advanced courses. It\'s a pity that she won\'t choose our academy. " He lets out a deep sigh.

"Hmm?" "Hmm?"

Elowen and Amelia Hearth looked at him in wonder. The latter asked him about it.

As Alan explained the incident during the Arcana Festival, leaving the girl with a damaged soul orb, Principal Danvary took the chance to brag that people like her who don\'t give up on setbacks always find an oasis in a desert.

"What do you think of her, Sir?" Azzy slowly whispered to his superior.

His whisper was clearly heard by the others due to their high soul realm. They couldn\'t help but glance at the elf through the corner of their eyes. At the same time, they were also astonished to realize Azzy was closer to this elf than they expected. After all, one won\'t whisper with just an acquaintance. 

Commander Kruger thought for a bit and said, "She\'s talented but we cannot recruit her."

"Eh?" Azzy was surprised. The others also appeared to be taken aback. Principal Danvary couldn\'t help but ask him directly. "Why?"

WAMO\'s Supreme Commander then explained in a plain tone, "Her mother is Mia Leveret, Northern Qudour\'s President. Ever since Ms. Leveret came to power, our organization lost tens of billions of credits of profit. She snatched away our long-time partners who used to buy weapons from us. Call it unfair but I\'m helpless too. Unless she proves herself to be a heaven-defying talent, it will be a no from us."

"Ohh, I see…" Principal Danvary was slightly dejected by Kruger\'s reply but consoled himself by thinking about Raydon. The school\'s reputation will increase more when a student is recruited by WAMO compared to a student making it big in the championships. 

Recruitment means job security. That will be enough to instill confidence in today\'s parents to send their children to the academy.

Hence, he secretly asks Azzy to switch the live feed to Raydon when he battles the main boss.

Azzy agreed to it but unfortunately, that moment never arrived.

At the monster zone of Shimmerwood tortoise, Serestia used her control over wind attribute and flew high in the sky before starting her assault with energy attacks.

She knew that the best way to defeat that tortoise was to attack from the front where there were gaps beneath its shell due to its missing skin.

However, she opted to attack from the sky. Now, the only way for her is to break its shell.

While she wasn\'t confident in destroying that powerful shell, she was still a fire attribute user. Her flames are lethal to undead beasts because of the burning effect.

Adding on top of that, the Shimmerwood tortoise\'s attention was on the boy standing not far away from it. 

Regardless of whether they are undead or free ones, the beasts have this natural instinct toward their predator and they can sense which opponent is more threat to them. 

Serestia didn\'t like how she was being ignored but she kept her calm and took advantage of the situation to launch her first soul skill, the fireball.

Sensing the fireball descending onto it, the Shimmerwood tortoise finally raised its head to look at the attack and quickly acted on instinct, retracting its head into the shell.

The fireball descended onto its shell. It didn\'t do any direct damage but the flames spread apart its shell and started burning it slowly.

"Kraaa…" A scream escaped from inside the shell.

"Good…" Serestia let out a smile and proceeded with her next attack.

Serestia went on unleashing her fourth soul skill, PyroPenta Lances, and went on adding wind attribute to it.

As a result, five spears made of blazing fire made their appearance above her head. "Die." She launched all of them at the undead tortoise.

It was at that moment, the secret guardian who was observing them saw cracks appearing on its shell at once. 

His eyes squinted as he saw some kind of shadow figure leaving the place before those blazing spears reached it. "An intervention from the outside or…" The observer\'s attention was momentarily shifted to the boy standing simply.

In the next instant, two of Serestia\'s fire spears completely broke its shell, letting the other three strike what was beneath it.

The vulnerable core was instantly struck by one of those spears, releasing a massive amount of energy in the form of an explosion, throwing away Raydon who stood there like a statue, as if he was stunned.

Ten seconds later, Serestia landed before the boy who was still lying on the ground. With a simple glance, she saw that he had no external injuries. She couldn\'t help but ask, "What are you doing there? Come on. Let\'s go and get the loot."

"Ugh…" Raydon let out a painful groan in response, "You go and collect the loot. I have a muscle spasm in my legs. It\'s yours to take it anyway as you defeated it by yourself."

Serestia stared at him for a few seconds, thinking something, before she turned around to walk away without a care, "Fine, suit yourself."

Meanwhile, Raydon looked at the sky while clutching his legs, "Man, I overkilled myself this time. I should be careful about using that technique in the future."
