My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 58 Missing Family

<strong>Elite division, Aclein Academy;</strong>

Homeroom teacher Rubin entered the class as if he was forcefully dragging his body.

Everyone stood up.

He gestured for them to sit down.

"Hmm?" The teacher found something amiss. He was only sensing seven of them. As he opened his eyes properly, Rubin saw Azzy missing.

"Student Gideon."

"Yes?" 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

"Student Azrael didn't come to the class?" He asked him as they sit together. "Was he sick?"

Gideon shook his head, "I don't know. He doesn't stay in the dorm."

"Anything unusual happened, yesterday?" Since both of them were in the same group, he wondered whether Leonard traumatized him or something. After all, everyone in middle or higher grade knows about how Azzy was alienated.

But, since he isn't being bullied directly, none of the teachers bother themselves with the matter. After all, the other party is a Prince.

If even his Master, the Principal is silent on the matter, why would they go and offend the Royal family over such trivial matter and fall into trouble…

"Nothing, Sir. Azrael was alright…" Gideon didn't know what happened between Azzy and Leo during the time they were away from him but he was sure that nothing happened at least to Azzy.

After all, he has a platinum-grade beast.

"Perhaps, he was with the Principal." The teacher made a passing comment before changing the topic to their trip towards Arcana World.

"Today, everyone will come here, one by one, and share your experience with your classmates. You only have 40 minutes. So, that's five minutes for each of you."

The teacher took his seat and closed his eyes to take a short nap.

After they shared their experiences of their first trip, the teacher spoke, "The monthly competition is roughly two weeks away. All of you just experienced level-2 region. Some of you even fought with rank-4 Experts.

I heard that a few students from other divisions managed to breakthrough to rank-4. So, expect a tough competition.

Get careless, you never know when you were going to fall back to other divisions.

As a part of the Elite division, all of you will get another chance in the next week. So, make sure to use the opportunity."

Unlike his usual lazy tone, the teacher appeared serious this time.

Everyone nodded.

Meanwhile, just as the homeroom teacher guessed, Azzy was sitting before the Principal, although for different reasons than he imagined to be.

"Are you saying that you defeated a mid-rank-6 Assassin?" The Principal was more surprised to hear that Azzy defeated an assassin, instead of focusing on the issue.

That's what Azzy thought upon hearing his question.

But, the Principal was correct in his thoughts too.

Although he expected that Azzy's combat strength is on par with early-rank-6 or mid-rank-6, still he is just an inexperienced kid who is also a summoner.

Everyone in the world knew that assassins are the bane of summoners unless the latter are skilled at close combat. So, the principal can't help but think that it might be a weak one with lesser grade Arcana.

"I was lucky…" Azzy also tried to be modest. However, his expressionless face gave an impression that he was serious.

Then the Principal also started to think about the issue. "I think the royal family of Snieca might be involved in this. You get back to the class. I'll ask around in the meantime."

Azzy nodded and went to the classroom.

By the time he got there, the mathematics teacher is in the middle of his class. Strangely, he didn't ask him about the reason for his lateness. He continued to teach as if nothing changed from before.

Meanwhile, Gideon whispered, "Why are you late?"

"It's complicated," Azzy replied in a low tone while concentrating on the lesson.

<strong>Five days later;</strong>

Azzy was sitting in the downstairs hall before a television. It was late midnight and he just sat on the sofa, kept on looking towards the door every 15-20 minutes.

He doesn't know when he fell asleep but he woke up around 8.

For the past five days, never once Azzy went and slept in his room. Every day, he wakes up at like 8-9 and misses the homeroom period or gets woke up by the cleaner at 10 and skips the morning classes.

Either way, he never missed the afternoon class with the Principal.

There, his Master/Principal will teach him new things every day and give him homework.

After finishing school, he comes home and waits until midnight before falling asleep on either the sofa or the floor.

This is the sixth day, a.k.a Sunday. It's time for him to go on the trip to the Arcana world again.

As the bus leaves by 9, Azzy hurriedly freshens up and changes his clothes, missing his breakfast.

By the time he reached the academy, he saw two buses are parked before the Elite division building. While it was a rest day for others, for the Elite division, it was a trip.

The intermediate grade students (Grade 5,6,7) went into one bus. They are going to a level-1 region.

Meanwhile, higher grade students were going into the other one that was going to the Allerton, a level-2 region that was famous for its volcano and the lava beasts.

An hour later;

After teleporting to the portal point, Aclein academy students, like everyone else, went to the harbor directly, instead of going into the city like their previous time.

They rented a ship to travel to the distant-looking island with a volcano in the middle of it.

Azzy looked around. Because of several ships and boats that are traveling to and fro, he wasn't even able to saw the island except for the active volcano where the lava is flowing down like a river.

Even from 10 km away, he felt the hot temperature. As for the rank-3s from his grade, one of the teachers casted a barrier on them to negate the heat.

Looking at the front, Gideon commented, "I wonder why it is called Whale Island…"

Azzy shrugged his shoulders, "maybe, it's because of its large size?"

Earlier, while they were walking, he coincidentally heard someone saying that this giant single island is over a hundred thousand square km in area.

However, to their surprise, the lazy homeroom teacher, who was tagging along with them interrupted their conversation, "it is because the island is in the shape of a whale.

"Oh!" Gideon exclaimed in surprise, not because of this answer but right now, he looks very much active.

Azzy was also surprised to this lazy guy even shaved his beard, neatly combed his hair, and wore some good clothes instead of a plain old tracksuit.

Another strange thing about him is that, as soon as he got on the bus, he transformed into a completely different person.

It even made him wonder whether he was some platinum-grade beast or something. However, his aura remained human.

On the way to the island, Rubin answered all of their doubts without any complaint.

Soon, the ship reached and they step down.

Taking a deep breath, the teacher spoke to himself, "finally, after 20 years… I'm back here…"

"Hmm?" Perhaps everyone around heard it. They instantly turned towards him.

He waved his hands, "it's nothing."
