Card Apprentice Daily Log

Location Sky Blossom City, Wyatt Residence.

Having slept at 18:44 in the evening, I got up early after midnight. Since I skipped dinner, I was feeling hungry.

Ordering a 12-inch sausage and mushroom crust deep dish pizza online I went to take a dump, brush my teeth and freshen up.

By the time I was done the pizza was at my doorsteps. After enjoying the pizza and filling me to the brim, I let out a satisfying burp.

It was 2 in the morning and I did not know what to do? Go to the guild mall to create more cards, no!. Then what to do?

I started to think about my first card fight. Even though I won, I thought I could have performed better than that.

My Abyssal giant bear spirit guard card was unmatched under D-rank yet it took all of me to defeat three goons.

What was it? That is it, I wasn't skilled enough to use the card to its full potential.

Skill Cards are like loaded guns, a 5-year-old or monkey can fire them, it takes an excellent marksman to use the loaded gun and accurately shoot the target across the field.

Similarly, any card apprentice can activate a skill card but it takes a card apprentice skilled in that particular skill card to use the card to the maximum of its potential.

The same goes for me and my Abyssal giant bear card. Yesterday was the first time I used the card, I had never performed or practised abyssal bear form before that.

Yes, the card gave me elite level proficiency in abyssal giant bear form and the complete prowess of an abyssal giant bear but I wasn't sure how to apply it to get maximum efficiency?

With the agility of gale rabbit boots and the strength of an abyssal giant bear, I should have been able to take out the three goons within seconds but I didn't.

This is the reason why card apprentices do not change their card deck unless it is necessary.

Thinking about it I went into the gym in the basement, it was mostly used by mama and papa Wyatt for their training. They never let young Wyatt inside.

The basement gym is way cooler than my expectations of it. It is vast and filled with numerous training equipment I never knew off.

Even though intrigued I stayed focused on why I was here. It was to practice the abyssal giant bear form and get used to its strength. To truly know my limit and how I can use it to my advantage.

I practised the whole morning forgetting about the time. The more I practised the more I felt this unstoppable feeling. There was this ginormous energy inside me that boiled with every move I made, over time I felt like a pressure cooker with enormous energy boiling inside of me and about to burst out any moment now.

Then this pressure slowly started to suppress as I became more comfortable with practising the abyssal bear form, it started to feel normal to contain that vast amount of energy inside of my body.

The Abyssal giant bear card effect read that I passively possessed the prowess of an abyssal gain bear yet I never felt a huge amount of change in my strength like I felt now.

It seems martial arts cards have their limits too, they can not be used to their maximum potential if the host body can not bear their complete strength.

No wonder not everyone chose martial arts skill cards as they are expensive and have a lot of requirements.

Realising the limitations of the martial arts skill card I sighed in understanding, it seems there is no way to skip the hard work part in this or any other world.

Done with the training I went for a bath, as it was time for school. I wasn't planning on visiting school anytime soon but the special class for the college entrance exam mentioned by teacher Wang had me intrigued.

I knew to get the most and best opportunities I had to get into the best college that was only possible if I was among the best in the college entrance exam.

Even though my soul pupil helped me create cards it was nothing if not for young Wyatt's knowledge of card creation.

My card creation knowledge was limited to Young Wyatt's card creation knowledge which was limited to what he learned from his parents in his childhood.

I could only create equipment cards with 99% surety because of my past history in engineering, as for the skill card abyssal giant bear spirit guard I created it using already created cards as ingredients so it was a lot easier than creating a skill card from scratch.

There are different types of cards out there and each has its method of creation and knowledge behind it. Some types of cards and card creation methods are only known and available to the secret and royal families.

Soul pupils were of no use if I did not know how to create the cards in the first place, therefore, joining a good college was a must for my future development of strength.

A good college would provide me with knowledge and opportunities I can not get out here. My experience of past life stopped me from being ignorant and thinking I could make it on my own using my cheat Soul pupils.

Time 8:30

Location Sky Blossom City, Lion Cubs High School.

The school gates were closed, as the school started at 8 and I was late by half an hour. Activating the double jump skill I jumped over to the other side of the gate not wanting to bother the school guards.

Following the memories of young Wyatt, I made my way to the classroom.

The class had already started and I could see the oiled shiny bald class teacher Wang take out his frustration and anger on the students.

I walked in without knocking or permission as Baldie Wang had lost all my respect as a teacher.

Baldie Wang was so immersed in reprimanding the students that he did not notice me till I walked to my seat.

Seeing me his voice went into high pitch almost sounding like a cat getting run over by a truck.

The students burst into laughter but soon started whispering about my bold action of entering the class late without permission and how baldie Wang would react.

"Student Wyatt, you came today. Please follow me to the principal's office, the principal is waiting for you and rest off you continue with self-studies." Wang was caught off guard with my sudden arrival but managed to divert the class's attention by calling me to the principal's office.

The student started to whisper again about how baldie Wang had enough of me and would be expelling me today.

I did not mind seeing the principal as I wanted more info on special classes for Card Student and if they are worth my time. Since the regular teacher of baldie Wang's level could not give me more info on this, I can only ask the principal.

...

"Sir, teacher Wang has brought student Wyatt to meet you."

"Send them in quickly"

Walking into the luxurious room I had a hard time believing that it was the principal's office as it looked more like a corporate CEOs office.

"Welcome, student Wyatt"
