After Aurelia's soul underwent pseudo-bestowal, a golden light shovered her body as her silver grimoire began to radiate. The grimoire escaped Wyatt's grasp and floated in front of its card apprentice. Covered in a blinding light, Aurelia uttered, "Boss, what's happening? I feel an unknown power coursing through my body." "Aurelia, this is it. I have done everything in my power next is up to your luck," Wyatt answered as the light radiating from the card apprentice and grimoire began to diminish. "That's bad boss, I have had little luck my entire life," Aurelia responded in a panic claiming that luck has never been her forte. "Why did you not tell me sooner?" Wyatt asked in urgency with a mischievous smile, only to hear Aurelia cry in concern, "Boss, I did not know luck was required for these things. What do we do now?" "Sigh, it is not meant to be," Wyatt said shaking his head. Seeing him give up Aurelia's face turned pale and her eyes widened in disbelief but she was not prepared to throw in the towel yet and pleaded, "Boss, there has to be some other way."

"Aurelia, dear, just shut up and show me your status page," recovering from the shock of seeing Wyatt induce a phenomenon similar to bestowal in Aurelia, Field Marshal ignored the conversation between the s.a.d.i.s.tic boss and his dimwit minion asking Aurelia to show her status page. Reminded by Field Marshal, Aurelia too decided to check her status page, "One second, Your Highness." "Aah!" Aurelia screamed at the top of her lungs going through her status page. Then, she dashed toward Wyatt, midway she dropped on her knees, and slid onto the gymnastic floor. Arriving in front of Wyatt she hugged his waist tightly. Pressing her head against Wyatt's rock-hard abs she chanted in grat.i.tude, "Thank you, thank you. Boss, you are my savior, angel, and messiah. I don't know how to thank you enough." "That is what you have earned and deserve. But, if you strongly feel about repaying me. You can start by letting go of me and drinking this elixir," Wyatt said, taking out one of Van's A-rank blood elixirs created by extracting numerous A-rank monster blood using the blood rule meaning blood elixir. "Sure, boss," letting go of Wyatt's waist, Aurelia took the blood elixir from him and emptied it in a single gulp. And, slamming the elixir tube on the floor she asked, "Done, boss. What next?" "Clean up the gla.s.s pieces on the floor, kids play here," Wyatt instructed trying to be understanding of Aurelia's enthusiasm. "My bad, boss. I will clean it up right away," Aurelia replied as began to hand-pick the gla.s.s shards off the floor, while on her knees. Seeing this, Wyatt too was beginning to think Aurelia was more comfortable kneeling than standing. Feeling, she might not have a cleaning card, Wyatt turned to Diana and signaled, "Help her." Before Diana could act, Field Marshal used her cleaning card to clean the gla.s.s pieces off the floor and cleared her throat at Aurelia, *Ahem* hinting, 'Aren't you forgetting something?' "Thank you, Field Marshal," Aurelia thanked and scratched the back of her head as she pa.s.sed the Field Marshal her grimoire, revealing her status page.

While the Field Marshal went through Aurelia's status page, Aurelia however began to scratch herself feeling an itching sensation all over her body, when the itching got uncontrollable, she asked Wyatt, "Boss, what did you feed me? My skin is itching like crazy." "It was a healing potion. It is not as miraculous as the one Field Marshal used on Marcy but that should be enough to deal with your wounds. Remove your bandages, so that the scabs can fall off," Wyatt informed while looking at the myriad changes in Field Marshal's facial expression with great interest. "Oh, thank you, boss," Aurelia said feeling that her boss was good to her. "Also, when you are free go meet Van, the guild master of TSR guild, he should be able to give you enough blood elixir to help you with your special training," Wyatt instructed Aurelia, before she could answer he turned to leave saying, "Continue as you were but don't spend too much time in the card master realm, you have a surprise waiting for you during your next baptism." "Yes, Boss!" Aurelia yelled, bowing to Wyatt's back, resolving never to let him down.

Diana and Cindy followed Wyatt outside quietly, leaving Field Marshal and Aurelia in the gymnasium. However, soon Field Marshal's figure flashed before Wyatt stopping him in his tracks.

"You said you had nothing to do with Marcy getting her 'Prodigous soul' trait and 'Gifted lineage' physique. Then, what is this?" the Field Marshal asked shoving Aurelia's grimoire in front of Wyatt's eyes. [Trait Name: Prodigious Soul

Trait Type: Acquired (Pa.s.sive) Trait Effect: The user's soul has an extraordinary talent for soul cultivation.] [Physique Name: Super Aurculean

Physique Type: Innate (Active/Pa.s.sive) Physique Effect: i) Aruclean (pa.s.sive): The user has an extraordinary physique and spirit beyond others in the same realm.

ii) Aurculean Adaptability (pa.s.sive): If the user's physical and spiritual body survives an intense situation, their body and spirit will adapt and grow stronger as a result.

iii) Unstoppable Aurculean (active): i) The user takes a golden form and is able to absorb eighty percent of both spiritual and physical damage to convert it and boost the user's physical strength and speed along with physical and spiritual defense. ii) The boost will stack with continuous damage.

iii) Twenty percent of the remaining damage will be directly inflicted on the user and stack with continuous damage.

iv) If the user can maintain the golden form long enough, their spiritual and physical body will slowly adapt to the damage sustained.] [Physique Name: Gifted Lineage

Physique Type: Acquired (Pa.s.sive) Physique Effect: The user's descendant will inherit the user's acquired trait 'Prodigious Soul.'] "I stand by what I said," Wyatt said pus.h.i.+ng the grimoire aside. Seeing the frown on his face, the Field Marshal hurriedly took a step back and explained, "Wyatt, please don't get me wrong. I don't mean to pry I was just too excited. Also I am asking this for your safety." "It is okay, I understand. That trait and physique are indeed too attractive. I wasn't lying when I said I had nothing to do with Marcy awakening them. However, by helping her become a card apprentice, I have come to understand how she gained them and helped Aurelia achieve the same," Wyatt answered not taking offense to the Field Marshal's sudden outburst. It was understandable as the Gifted lineage physique would have such an effect on anyone be it the Field Marshal or an Apex ruler cla.s.s being. Locking eyes with her, Wyatt continued to say exerting a strong confidence, "As for my safety, with you here, I don't think I need to worry about it." "Wyatt, I appreciate your trust and confidence in me but this is even beyond me. I do not think I can handle something like this. You should not be so casual about something like this. I think you should not have given her the trait and physique. This is too risky. Especially, if she babbles this to her mother," The Field Marshal shook her head understanding that if the card world were to know Wyatt had a method to give people the trait 'prodigious soul' and the physique 'gifted lineage' he would become the most wanted man in the world. No one he knew would be safe including the Field Marshal and the Southern Royal family.

"I would never snitch on the boss," Aurelia who had just rushed out of the gymnasium and caught up with the group yelled listening to the Field Marshal's words. Then, she rushed to Wyatt's side and locking eyes with him she swore, "In the presence of the World's Will, I swear" Wyatt moved and forced Aurelia's jaw shut. Interrupting her, he said, "Don't do something stupid that you cannot take back." "B-but bo-boss"Aurelia forcefully moved her tongue only to be interrupted by Wyatt once again, "Aurelia, I trust you."

Then, Wyatt turned to glance at Cindy, Diana, and the Field Marshal before proceeded to say, "I trust all of you. Do you think I would do something without thinking it through?" Then once again looking back into Aurelia's eyes, Wyatt let go of her jaw and added, "Besides, I want you to tell your mother about this." "Wyatt!" the Field Marshal shouted in disapproval. Before he could interrupt her the Field Marshal hurriedly spoke her mind, "Wyatt, I trust you but I cannot sit by and watch you do something so risky." "Field Marshal, if Aurelia's mother is as smart as you make her be, then she will know the best course of action for her, her family, her city, and the Southern Region," Wyatt remarked.

Taking her cue, Aurelia spoke up, "Boss, don't worry, I will help her make the right decision." Aurelia understood what Wyatt meant without him having to explain it to her and she did not hesitate to follow it through. ..
