My Soul card is a Reaper

After giving a tight warning to Leah and the sword, the Reaper returned and Azzy found himself at the same spot as he was standing before.

"Did you once again possess my body without asking me?" Azzy was annoyed at the Reaper.

Maybe, it's because of the increase of closeness during the past year, Azzy was no longer as polite as before. Unlike with others, Azzy won't keep it in his heart and often complains directly whenever the Reaper does something that displeases him.

Right now, the same thing happened.

He was listening to an interesting story and suddenly, his body was taken over without his permission.

The Reaper simply replied that it's for the sake of protecting his host's innocence.

Azzy didn't understand what he was implying but at the very least, he realized that whatever Reaper did, it was for his sake.

So, he put the matter away and said to the Excalibur who was silent, "I bet you were going to say something about General Garcia that I wasn't supposed to know. I understand that. So, let's forget about the history and come to the matter directly."

Leah was taken aback to see how Azzy appeared to be calm and collected even after all this.

Arcana possession at normal times is something that is heavily criticized by almost every Arcana Master. In her view, no one would want to do that unless they were being controlled by their Arcana.

So, she wondered whether the Arcana possession is common to him or whether it's just his emotionless face…

At the same time, she was also surprised to realize that Azzy was the host of not just one celestial grade beast but two of them.

As soon as she saw the black wolf, Leah had already found out that he's the possessor of a celestial grade spirit like her, which led her to think that Azzy might not be the one that she wanted as her knight.

That's why she hesitated to meet him even after being pushed by the Excalibur every single day.

A few days ago, she got the chance to talk to him by pure coincidence but as they formally met for the first time, she left the matter alone.

And right now, as she met him for the second time by coincidence, Excalibur told her that they were destined to meet again and again because Azzy is one of her destined knights.

So, she took the chance and successfully managed to let him meet her Arcana. However, she didn't expect that not only Excalibur's words are right but it appeared to be as if Azzy was the favorite child of the heavens.

Although her self-esteem was a little bit hurt realizing that there exists a person with far more potential than her, when she thought about the future of Camelot, she calmed down.

In fact, another intention has also emerged in her mind as she threw a glance at Azzy. After all, the fate of the kingdom is at stake. But, considering their ages, she thought it was too soon and only encouraged herself to be kept in touch with Azzy.

Meanwhile, the sword spirit thought it is better that way and spoke about the reason Azzy was invited to its mindscape.

It revealed that Vann was in fact a disguise of the Galarian beast that was evolved to Draco-Galarian after consuming the original prince of Hildegard.

Azzy was unsurprised about this as he already knows that they knew of it.

The sword further said that even Leah might not be strong enough to face the Celestial grade beast unless she had some help with Azzy.

"Only by working together could the two of you defeat the beast."

He proposed an alliance to face against Vann after the tournament is over. In return, he promised that Azzy will get a fifty percent share of the monster's core to absorb.

Azzy was perplexed to find that the monster's core can also be shared as he never heard of it.

In response, the Reaper chuckled and explained to him about a seal that can let do that. There are also advanced seals that can practically store the energy of the monster's soul core and absorb it, later.

A moment later, Excalibur also told him the same thing Azzy heard in its head.

Azzy was surprised to know that Leah mastered those advanced seals and at the same time, he felt annoyed when the Reaper praised her for her mastery over runes.

It instilled a seed of competitiveness in his heart. Azzy decided to work harder once the tournament is over.

Just then, another doubt emerged in his mind.

Azzy quickly asked that why couldn't they just tell it to the so-called Royal Ancestor now that they are visiting him? After all, Leo is a member of the Royal family.

In response, Excalibur said that their words have a little bit of credibility in serious matters like this. After all, Vann was currently a witness.

Now, if she says that Vann was a beast, not just the royal ancestor, anyone with a right mind would think that she was resorting to using underhanded methods to eliminate his opponent.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Hildegard and Camelot aren't what would you call allies. If anything else, they can even be termed as enemies because Camelot is the largest trading partner of Prailon while the latter is bitter enemies with Hildegard because of border issues.

The nation of Prailon and the kingdom of Hildegard were fighting for an uninhabitable 1873 sq. km of land for the past seven hundred years with both of them have historic claims.

With neither of them intends to share the land with the other, WAMO took the control of region Noxaris until the dispute solves.

So, that's why unless Leah claims to possess the eyes of truth and proves it to the world, she couldn't accuse Vann. Anything goes wrong; the prestige of Camelot will be also hit.

So, she couldn't risk putting the matter before the rank-9 expert.

Upon listening to the possible issues, Azzy agreed with the cooperation.

"Thank you." Leah smiled as she put forth her hand.

Azzy shook her hand, "no problem."

Once the matter is finished, Azzy left her mindscape by returning to the tunnel and then, disconnects the connection of their souls.

Both of them opened their eyes simultaneously and their palms separated.

"It's over. They are back."

As soon as Gideon's voice was heard in the silent compartment, everyone abruptly turned their heads towards Azzy and Leah.

Feeling several gazes on him, Azzy turned his head and gave a surprising statement to them, "It appears that both of our Arcana spirits are friends in their past lives. Her Arcana spirit seems to be remembered in its past life and wanted to meet my Arcana after discovering me. There's nothing important to go into the details."

Azzy didn't know why but he didn't want to give such a long explanation and yet, he gave one to clear misunderstandings. Even though he was telling everyone in general, most of the time, Azzy glanced at Claire.

Suddenly, something clicked in his mind upon realization.

"Wait a second. Why should I bother about what Claire thinks of the situation?" Azzy quickly turned his head and looked straight ahead while taking out the book he was previously reading before Leah disturbed him.

Meanwhile, for a moment, Leah also looked at Azzy in surprise not expecting Azzy to be frank to his friends for something this important. After all, she didn't even feel the need to explain it to either Theodore or Emelia that were glancing curiously at her.

However, as Azzy didn't reveal any important matter to them, she thought it was fine. and stayed silent. After all, the existence of Celestial grade spirits is a secret for a reason.

And if the world knows about it, the assassinations couldn't be count on hands anymore. Many rank-8 and Rank-9 experts would come out of their seclusion to kill or capture people like Azzy and Leah.

For the rest of the train journey, Leah and Azzy didn't talk to each other at all as if they are ignoring each other.

Azzy was busy reading the book while Leah conversed with Emelia, Theodore, and sometimes, Gideon or Mia.

Claire who was keeping an eye on her from the start felt relieved that there's no development between them. She was satisfied with just that.

A couple of hours later, the train arrived at the destination.
