My Soul card is a Reaper

While Claire might not know completely about her Arcana, she at least knew that Agatha is originally a Celestial grade and had a part of her strength being sealed away by Archangel Michael himself before she awakened as Claire's Arcana.

From the divine sword spirit, she also learned a little bit about Celestial grade spirits. Unlike the lower grade spirits, their memories won't be erased even after rebirth.

Agatha is the one that gave her hope of defeating Leah in the future once she makes a breakthrough to the Exalt realm and breaks the remaining seal to unlock her full potential.

It is the reason why she felt Agatha must be right if she was forced to use such powerful techniques against a human. Her negative feelings for Estella made her think that she deserved the punishment too.

Azzy was stumped for a second as he didn't expect Claire couldn't understand his view. But, he didn't dwell on it for more than a few seconds and explained to her properly, "It was a friendly match, Claire. If it is a real battle, then, it wouldn't matter."

Feeling that his girlfriend doesn't seem to be satisfied with his simple explanation, Azzy lectured her, "Moreover, your Arcana spirit is quite reckless. Using such heaven-defying techniques in the public will bring the attention of several unknown people. What will you do if some Supreme Realm expert decided to abduct you to extract that technique of sealing other people's soul orbs? What will you do if the Angels sitting in the heavens will get angered?

Because of your Arcana spirit's actions, I had to reveal that I not only possess the knowledge of the forbidden technique but also have the power to destroy the sacred pillar. Even though the sacred pillar will repair itself later, both of us might draw the attention of the Angels. And how their reaction will be like, we aren't sure yet. People might even think twice before touching you because of your birth in the royal family but for me, who knows. You know what happened in the last year."

Claire fell silent after hearing everything. She felt like she harmed Azzy instead. After all, she was responsible for the actions of her Arcana spirit. She clearly remembered the invasion of Aethon Light and his aides. If not for a few people protecting Azzy, the soul of her boyfriend would have probably left to the spirit world.

"Sorry." In the end, she apologized to him.

Azzy felt a little bit guilty while saying those words to Claire as he doesn't want her to be feeling sorry for him or anything. But, still, he felt like he needed to remind her that sometimes, people needed to stay low unless they have the power to protect themselves from the possible danger created by their actions.

Feeling that he was too harsh, he quickly thought of something and spoke softly, "Thankfully, most of the spectators were of the lower realm and probably don't have any idea of what happened there. So, I think it's better to be careful the next time. In fact, you don't need to resort to using forbidden techniques to defeat Estella. Her Arcana spirit Leviathan has a demonic bloodline. So, instead of flying, if you just had used Holy Ground from the start…"

Claire's eyes widened in realization, "I would have suppressed the beast with ease. That's right. My golden energy spears heavily injured it until Estella used her soul skill and hardened her defense. I just need to drag the match a bit longer then."

Claire didn't know that Leviathan has a demonic bloodline. If she knew it beforehand, she would have used Holy ground from the start. After all, she knew her power more than anyone. At the very least, that's what she believed.

For a long time, Claire never understood why her sword has divine power when it was a gold grade and why she could heal very much faster compared to her peers. Her mother only said she was blessed by the Heavens but never gave the proper reason. It was only after Agatha's consciousness was released from the seal she finally got to know the reason behind her abnormal recovery rate. It was only then, almost everything became clear.

Of course, there are other things she was puzzled like why Agatha was sealed by her former master, why she had to resurrect, why she has chosen her in the first place, why one of the seals was broken during the fight, or why is it that she can't teach her how to summon the sacred pillars. In any case, Claire was glad to have an Arcana spirit that can possess her body in case she gets knocked out during the battle.

Having enough time for lunch, the couple returned to the cafeteria. Obviously, they attracted the attention of everyone around them. Only that the meaning behind their gazes was different this time.

Claire felt the gazes filled with admiration from all the sides with the news about her Arcana spirit spread like wildfire in just fifteen-twenty minutes. Thankfully, Azzy and Claire were used to the attention, so, they didn't care much and stood in line.

Maybe, Estella was feeling embarrassed to face the public or maybe, she was just angry. For whatever reason, she didn't eat lunch or go to the dorm. Instead, she returned to Class Zero's exclusive training facility at training grounds-1.

Upon finishing the lunch, Azzy planned to go to the Disciplinary Hall. However, due to the lack of time, he could only return to the classroom with Claire.

By the time both of them returned, none of them were in the classroom and everyone was making full use of the break time and roaming all over the training facility. The training rooms were nothing new for Azzy. So, he calmly took his seat in the middle of the first row. Claire also followed the suit as there were only five minutes left for the afternoon classes anyway.

Soon, the bell rang, and one after another, the students of class zero return and took the seats randomly.

"Get lost, you vermin," A familiar tone filled with annoyance was heard at the entrance of the hall and Claire glanced from the corner of her eyes. She nudged Azzy and gestured him to look.

As Azzy also took a glimpse in the direction where his girlfriend is pointing towards, he found Gideon seemed to be mixed into the group of three exchange students from the main branch. He doesn't know what this six-foot guy did, but it looked like he received a hit from Estella, considering how he was clutching his stomach. Surprisingly, Giden was apologizing to him, instead of Estella. Azzy wondered why.

Meanwhile, Gideon spotted his friends sitting together.

"Azzy," As soon as Gideon spotted Azzy, he abandoned the three of them and rushed to him before taking his seat and head locking friendly, "Bro, you never told me that you got 2nd rank in the second semester."

"Eh? Second?" Claire was the first to react. "What nonsense you are spouting?"

What second rank? Azzy wasn't even in the top 30 in his grade.

Maybe, Gideon was influenced by the battle between her and Estella. He flinched in reflex but was able to calm himself down and clarified before this violent woman take action, "I only meant the second semester."

"Oh, that means, my hard work paid off." Claire widely smiled in satisfaction. After all, she tutored him for two weeks before the annual examinations.

"What hard work? He would have scored even higher even if he had studied alone." Gideon mumbled to himself.

"What did you say?" She abruptly turned her head to glare at him.

"Nothing," Gideon looked away only to find Estella stopped before him. "Hmm?"

She stared at him and Azzy intently for a few seconds and fell into thoughts. "I was humiliated quite a few times already. Why should I risk it again? But, if I maintain the distance, that's the same as admitting the defeat to Claire. No way, that's the last thing I want to do…"

In the end, she decided on taking the seat beside Gideon instead of telling him to get lost or sitting far away from the couple.

Unfortunately, Gideon who pretty much falls for every pretty girl misunderstood it and his eyes lit up, "Estella, you want to sit beside me? hahaha, I knew you would want to..."

"Shut up."  Her face darkened as she interrupted him before taking out the card creation instruction manual for the next class.
