My Soul card is a Reaper

"Rael," Claire rushed forward and hugged him, planting a light kiss on his lips as a greeting as soon as she saw Azzy in the Student Council Building. It's been four days since she last saw him, so, she missed him a lot despite exchanging messages very often.

Azzy blushed a little bit by her bold action considering Mia is still there. Thankfully for him, he didn't seal his soul power. So, his facial expression was indifferent as always. After greeting her, he congratulated Mia before asking what Claire was doing at this building.

Was she perhaps joining the Student Council? Considering her grades are in the top 5, he wondered whether she was aiming to become Vice President or something. Contrary to his expectations, Claire gave him a simple reply while shrugging her shoulders, "She just forgot something. I'm here to give it to her."

"What is it?" Azzy was curious. Mia flinched a little bit and was about to grab Claire's hand before the latter shook her head, "nothing important. Just some girl's stuff, you don't need to know about it."

Mia sighed in relief inwardly. She was worried a bit that Claire might accidentally slip her tongue about her period. It will be too embarrassing then.

Azzy was confused for a moment but he put aside the matter and asked Mia about the Elite division list.

It was then Mia told him a surprising thing regarding the divisions. "Three of the divisions were scrapped. The students were now divided into two divisions, Elite and Common."

"What did you say?" Azzy's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing that divisions like Soul weapon, Soul beast, and Soul plant divisions were removed.

Mia then started to tell him about every change the academy is going to bring in.

In fact, these pieces of information were not known to the students yet and will be informed during the Orientation. However, being the student council president, Mia had the access to the information beforehand and she informed Azzy and Claire the same without hiding anything as they will hear it again soon anyway.

With no vice-presidents available for either student council or disciplinary committee, Azzy was forced to stick with Mia at the entrance of the auditorium, guiding everyone to their seats. Every grade was allotted a separate section where they were supposed to sit.

Naturally, most of the students don't need it but the higher grade students are teenagers who were going through a rebellious phase. They can't be trusted to be followed the rules. This is where Azzy's presence helped a lot. Whether it is a junior or a senior, everyone quietly entered the auditorium and only started to chat after taking their seats.

Mia continued to remind the people patiently. A student council president ought to remember every face and name of the student. This is why being top in academics is a necessary qualification to become one. So, Mia doesn't need to ask their grade and directly told the students about what section they need to take the seat. Azzy, on the other hand, was just standing in silence with his arms crossed behind and occasionally nodding to the greetings of his juniors.

It was 8:28 and almost every student attended the orientation. Looking at his watch, Azzy informed Mia, "Only two minutes left. Let's go inside."

"I think there are still students who didn't arrive yet." Mia replied to him, to which, he shook his head, "not our problem. If they are late, it's on them. Let's go. Principal Barton is here. I'm closing the entrance door."

As if she was waiting for someone, she looked at the road for a moment before she followed Azzy to go inside as the Principal arrived on the stage.

Just as he was almost about to close the door, suddenly, he sensed the presence of an Elite realm Arcana Master nearby the entrance, rushing inside with a super speed, almost rivaling his own. Azzy halted his movements and activate his aura sensing in reflex.

"Hmm, Azrael?" Mia who was about to walk forward sensed that Azzy was still standing at the door and she turned around to see him staring outside.

His Master was also a little bit puzzled but as he sensed the incoming person, he waited in silence.

Soon, a teenager appeared in Azzy's view. He looks tall, reaching almost six feet in height, a little buffed with broad shoulders, and seemed to have heterochromia with a blue right eye and emerald left eye. With long blond hair tied into a pony tail and short pointed ears, the stranger absolutely looked like a protagonist who came out of an anime.

"Oh, wait up." The teenager waved his hands and increased his speed. Within just a few seconds, he covered almost two hundred meters and stopped before the door.

Mia also spotted the teenager. "This guy…"

"Umm, Hello." The mysterious teenager immediately greeted Azzy with a slight bow. "Sorry for the late. I'm new to this city. So, I was kinda lost for a while."

"Louis, right?" Mia, who was standing behind Azzy with a look of shock on her face, opened her mouth, "The exchange student from the main branch."

The teenager nodded with a big smile on his face, "Yes, senior."

"Azrael, he's also a Grade-9 student and your classmate. Please take him with you." Mia said to him before she turned around and walk towards the Grade-10 section.

Azzy closed the door and walked towards a seat in silence. Gideon was preoccupied with something and couldn't attend the Orientation. So, no one saved him a seat, and Azzy was forced to sit in a corner, which doesn't have a good view of the stage. Louis followed him and took an empty seat.

With everything set, Principal Barton who was standing quietly on the stage finally started to speak. "Okay, I guess, everyone is here except for you but anyway, let me warmly welcome every one of you to the brand new exciting academic year. To those who are here for the first time, let me introduce myself. I'm Barton Everglade, a rank-8 Arcana Master and currently working as the principal of the academy.

First things first, as you all know, there's a change in the name of our academy. So, I hope every one of you here will get used to calling yourselves as the student of Eternal Institutions of Arcana from now onwards.

For those who are new or those who are old, everyone must place attention to the few points I'm going to address now.

All the grades have the same regime. Every grade is now divided into two divisions. One is Elite and the other is Common. As for what the academy is expecting from each division and how the curriculum will be like, it's best if you hear it directly from your respective homeroom teachers. However, let me just tell you something. Your beginning isn't decided by you.

If you have awakened a low-grade Arcana spirit, you might not be able to catch up with the geniuses. It is a harsh truth and there's nothing you can do about it but as long as you work harder and not give up, you can still find a path in your lives and accomplish something worth it."
