My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 34 Card Creation Class Part-2



Azzy saw a fireball on the card that the old lady created in an instant.

Showing the skill card to the students, Sahara spoke, "This is but a simple skill, a very basic one. You can see that unlike the item cards, instead of the color, it only has the number..."

Two black stars appeared on the back of the card. "Just like the stages in an Arcana rank, it also has three stages. Basic, Intermediate, and advanced. Black stars refer to a basic level. Red stars refer to intermediate, and Gold stars tell that it is an advanced level card.

The required soul power is different for each one, according to their level. For example, this fireball is a basic two-star card. The required soul power you need to consume to activate this card is 100 to 300, depending on your mastery.

Likewise, the intermediate one would consume 300-600 and the advanced one would consume 600-1000.

Some geniuses can activate the cards with far lesser soul power but they are exceptions. So, we don't take them into account when we are considering them in general.

As for the usage, you can use these blank cards until rank-3. Rank 4 to Rank 6 needs a card made from special materials. Some of you might know them as metal cards."

She takes out a card that looks like some bronze plate. "This card made from bronze metal is used to make a rank-4 card."

Taking out another two shining cards, "Rank-5 is silver and the Rank-6 is made from gold. And as for Rank-7 and above... they need custom materials... You can't find them in the market...

Either you have to craft the card for yourself or meet a card crafter to make them for you while you acquire the required materials. The most popular material used is Mythril ore but they aren't easy to acquire either.

There's another way to obtain those though... You can either join the royal family or the government. Once you are a rank-7, you are welcomed openly in arms in every nation.

Anyway, that was something you don't need to worry about now. What you need is to concentrate on making your first card

I need to warn beforehand. Card creation isn't as easy as fighting a beast. Not everyone is talented to create a card.

Some will take a day; some will take a week or even a month..."

*Clap*Clap* "Now, grade-8 students, move far from each other. There must be atleast three feet distance between each of you. I don't want any accidents to occur.

All of you will first learn how to bring out the soul energy from your soul or to outside of the body and control it.

As usual, Grade-9 and Grade-10 students will go to the training room and wait for me. I'll teach you the method of creating advanced level cards. Meanwhile, practice creating an intermediate skill card. Grade-10 students, you will mentor your juniors."

"Good luck..." To Azzy's surprise, the senior who sat beside him spoke with a smile before leaving with her classmates.

Azzy didn't get to say thank you. Just as he was about to, Gideon whispered from the right, "looks like you caught Miss Lefeuvre's attention."

Azzy saw a grin on his face. He didn't understand what Gideon meant.

He shrugged his shoulders and no longer paid attention to the matter.

"Everyone close your eyes..." Sahara started teaching them as everyone spread throughout the room, maintaining distance from each other as she advised.

Azzy closed his eyes.

"Now, the easiest way to gather soul energy is through the hands. So, try to redirect your soul energy towards one of your hands. If you are lefty, prefer the left hand, if you are a righty, prefer right and if you are ambidextrous, then, your choice..."

Azzy, who was already struggling with the lack of control, gathered more than half of his soul energy into his hands. His soul power was decreased by almost 40000.

"Hmm?" Sahara, who was observing everyone, frowned as she looked at Azzy. 'That's way too much... Does this boy have a lack of control over his soul power? Or is it intentional?'

She then spoke, "Now, imagine the most precious thing something you like. It can be anything from an object to a living thing." Her voice appeared hypnotic to everyone.

A lot of things that he liked appeared in his mind and disappeared. Book of Death, the Reaper, the wolf, his Grandpa, his parents who he never met, Evelyn, his hourglass, toys that he liked when he was a kid, his storage card, etc...

But in the end, the only book is left in his mind.

Azzy was shocked, finding that the Book of Death is more precious to him than even his grandpa or the parents. 'Is it because my grandpa is now a different person and my dead parents are alive. So, I no longer care about them?' Azzy wondered.

He wasn't capable of understanding his inner feelings in his present state.

Meanwhile, Sahara's voice continued, "now, think of that thing is just a few meters away from you while you are chained to a pillar."

Azzy felt her voice isn't like Evelyn or the rune teacher, Exea. Unlike those who can use it naturally, this one contained soul power.

It's an ability all rank-7 or above experts have. They can cause illusions to weaker people with just words.

And the illusion already took effect. Even Azzy wasn't able to resist it and found himself in a dark room.

He found a desk before him and the Book of Death is placed on it. It was now burning.

His hand reached out to it, unconsciously but it was just a few inches away from touching the book.

​ He heard a whisper in his head, "if you don't hurry up, your precious thing will be gone away. Surpass your limits and reach out your hand."

"Isn't this a bit similar..." This isn't the first time he emitted the soul energy from his body, although it ended up in a disaster.

As soon as he realized the meaning behind the illusion, suddenly, he felt the chains no longer bound him and he grabbed the book on the table. The fire was also put off.

He returned to reality.

"Good... You understood the concept. What are you waiting for... Force the soul energy out of your hands." Sahara's voice entered his ears.

*Bam*

The chairs under Azzy crumbled and he was flattened to the ground as the soul energy gathered into his palm that was pointing towards the ceiling.

As soon as it was gathered, it was shot into the ceiling like an energy beam, causing everyone to flinch because of the loud noise and sensing powerful energy.

Sahara was taken aback to see a large hole in the ceiling. She stared at the ceiling in a daze. "Not even dust remained. Just how destructive is that dark energy...."
