My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 19 27 Years To The Past Part-3

Garcia family compound, Death Clan village;

In the audience chamber of the palace, Vesryn was standing alone in the middle of the hall while the rest of the clan elders are kneeling.

"Someone Time-Traveled? But, that's impossible even with the legendary hourglass of our clan," Vesryn was taken aback upon hearing his ancestor's statement.

The clan elders are speechless at this scene. In the whole clan, except for that old monster of Blood clan, only he talks to the clan head as he wishes.

The old stroke his beard, shaking his head, "nothing is impossible, Vesryn. There exist various Arcana spirits in the spirit world. I think it must be a powerful time spirit.

If he's someone from the past, then, bring the person here either by poaching or by forcing. We'll help the Arcana Master to return but if it's someone from the future, you have to give a death sentence to protect the future."

"Death Sentence? But, that's..." Vesryn was taken aback since it is unfair to just kill someone just because they time traveled.

"Our clan existed to maintain the balance of this world," Qridus reminded him of their purpose of existence and shut his mouth.

"I understand." Vesryn accepted the cold-hearted truth. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

"Get going..."

'Everything is fine but how do we recognize that person on a planet that has 3 Billion of population.' Almost every elder has the same thought running through their minds.

They looked at each other faces before saying in unison, "we understand."

At that moment Vesryn once again saved the day as he asked, "can you tell any other details about this person?"

The six clan elders gave a thumbs-up in their minds.

The old man stroked his beard once again, "No. I can find nothing else. The energy is untraceable but you just need to find the people with Time ability Arcana.

And their Arcana is definitely above the gold grade."

"Platinum?" Vesryn was dumbfounded upon hearing it since Platinum grade Arcana users are extremely rare.

Qridus nodded, "Yes. So, it might be easy for you to discover them. Here..."

A platinum-colored item card suddenly flew towards him. Vesryn caught it in reflex.

"This..."

Looking at the card, he was taken aback and looked at his ancestor.

The latter just replied casually, "If the person turns out to be too strong. You can use this to capture the target."

Vesryn immediately kowtowed, "thank you, your grace."

The remaining clan elders looked at him in envy. If looks could kill, Vesryn might die thousand times on the spot.

It's no exaggeration to say that this clan head of theirs really dotes on him. They thought it might be because he has twin Arcana but the truth is quite off from them. Only he and a certain tomb keeper know of it.

After dismissing everyone, Qridus mumbles, "I wonder if this person really possesses the mythical Time Beast Znuvo as Arcana."

Shaking his head, "I must be getting old..."

***

Aclein City, Lusha Province, Northern Qudour Nation;

*Hiya* A cute and high pitch sound was kept on repeating over and over in the courtyard.

Azzy and Snieca's princess are watching little Avia practicing the martial arts with her teacher.

Azzy can't help but be amused to see a cute Avia, an entirely different image from the one he knows.

As he let out a deep sigh, thinking how Arcana can changes one's personality, especially himself, she asked, "What happened?"

Azzy shook his head and spoke in an emotionless tone, "it's nothing. I just remembered my sister." He dodged her question with a quick lie.

Upon hearing him, Snieca can't help but look at the boy in pity.

It's been a month since he returned to the past.

Since Azzy doesn't belong in this current timeline, and neither have a place to live, he made up a lie on the spot that his entire family was massacred by the beasts when they made a trip to the Arcana World.

He asked them to let him stay with them for a few days before he leaves for the Arcana world to train.

The story also synchronized with how he suddenly appeared before their vehicle. They thought one of his family members might have used a rare teleportation card on him to let him escape the crisis.

Since they are rich, they forgot the most important point. It costs at least 10 million credits to buy such a rare card.

Both of them didn't take the market of teleportation into account and made their own theory.

Azzy kept his story vaguely and let them run their imagination. As he expected, the couple took pity on him and let him stay for a while.

Azzy was sure that it worked as he would knew his grandpa very well, although he didn't expect the princess was the one who readily accepted it.

The few days became weeks and Azzy still continued to live with them.

At first, he wanted to leave after a week to spend the rest of the three years at Arcana World before applying for an elite Arcana academy.

But, after hearing out his plan, Affea suggested him to live with them for three months till the admissions begin.

With Oakley's recommendation, he can join the Arcana Academy of Aclein directly to grade-8.

Since Oakley is family and close to his heart, so is his wife. His grandpa taught him that one shouldn't hesitate to take help from the family or help them.

Remembering his words, Azzy continued to stay.

Since he's too free, he helps out them with keeping an eye on Avia's training and became a chat-buddy for his grandma Princess while his grandpa is busy with work at the clinic.

Back to the present, both of them sat together in a corridor, watching Avia train.

"Princess Snieca, can I ask something?" Azzy asked while continue to stare at Avia.

"What is it?"

"Suppose if you have the chance to go back in time, what would you do?" Azzy asked slowly in the hopes of getting an answer that bugging him for the past month.

"Hmm, if I can go back in time, huh!" She rests her elbows on the rail and stared at the sky, "well, there are a lot of things I wanted to do but wasn't able to because of customs.

I have never eaten ice cream in my childhood nor did I eat street food for the past 120 years. Do you know that I saw my first movie after 60 years? I also..."

Azzy quickly interrupted, "not that kinds of things, Princess. I mean, like very important things that might have changed your current present."

She turned her head towards Azzy and said, "There is something... When I was young, I got the chance to study at the Heavenly Academy of Arcana. I rejected the offer back then since I was scared to live in Arcana world."

"Hmm?" Azzy was taken aback, "living in Arcana world? Is that academy forces you to adapt in the world or something?"

"Huh! What are you talking about?" She looked at him in surprise, "don't tell me you never heard of it?"

Azzy shook his head.

"Ah! That's right, you are a commoner. I forgot about it." Princess Snieca then explained, "It's the most prestigious academy of all the ones that were built in the world of Arcana.

It's like a rival for the Central Academy of Arcana, although there won't be an entrance test to get in. You can only join through the invitation sent from the Academy."

Azzy was amazed upon hearing for the first time that there are academies that were built in the Arcana world.

Until now, all he thought that the Arcana world is a place full of different landscapes and beasts living in it.

He realized that the world of Arcana might be nothing like he imagined after all.

Princess Snieca continued, "My brother graduated from that academy. Do you know that you have to be at least rank-6 to graduate? More than two-thirds of the students wouldn't even bother to graduate and return as it would take a long time."

'And still, it is a top college?' skeptically thought Azzy.
