My Soul card is a Reaper

360 World league: Junior division preliminaries (part-3)

Louis and Mia took a glance at each other. The latter said, "We take the position on 'Okie' (The Oak Tree Arcana)." Louis agreed with her.

Gideon felt a bit of pressure this time as he no longer has any trump cards left to surprise the opponents. Meanwhile, Estella replied, "I'll do you one better. The safety of Louis and Mia is my Levi's responsibility. It doesn't make any sense to hide it, anyway."

As the countdown timer reached 30 seconds, both of them teams summoned their respective Arcana.

On one side, everyone from Team Dragon Riders had dragons of different attributes.

Surprisingly, this substitute guy had a dragon that is constantly changing its colors like disco lights. Everyone was confused as their eyes fell on it. "What dragon is that? Shouldn't he summon a black dragon?"

On the other hand, Estella furrowed her brows as she spoke out loud, "I have seen this in the books. This is an Elemental dragon."

"Elemental dragon?" Everyone including Claire turned toward her.

Estella explained, "According to the ancient records, the divine dragon chooses a descendant of the Dragon clan every 10,000 years and blesses him/her with the ability to change an attribute.

The chosen warrior had the potential to change the attribute of his/her dragon with a simple thought. The elemental dragon has a set of seven soul skills per rank.

Of course, if one of those soul skills has been unleashed, the rest of the six soul skills will also enter the cool-down timer.

It looks like he has over 35 soul skills but he can only use 5 of them like every rank-5 out there, except that he has options to choose from. So, it is nothing to worry about. Not to mention, this poor guy had only awakened a gold grade Arcana. He isn't a threat, well, atleast for platinum grade users like me."

Once her explanation is over, Estella turned back her attention toward him and thought, "It's strange that the Dragon clan is exposing such treasure to the public. Are they too desperate for attention? Putting that aside, which family he was born into? Judging by the dragon's properties, he should belong to the unorthodox family, right?"

Yup, that's right. Team Dragon Riders are none other than the member of the Dragon Clan, which is facing a deep crisis along with the Sun Clan due to the stance of their respective leader on siding with the aliens and going into public. With their leaders gone, the fate of their clans will depend on the next hidden clans meeting.

So, the Dragon clan had sent a few teams to junior and senior divisions of the World League to gain some recognition from WAMO and gain protection status in case the other hidden clans give them some unfair judgment.

As for this team, Dragon Riders, they were the members of various branch families, forming a reserve team. The Dragon clan's division was a bit little different from the Death Clan.

More than the ancestors, the awakened bloodlines are what makes them a family.

The whole clan was divided into ten families (or sub-clans) such as the Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, Green Dragon, Yellow Dragon, Brown Dragon, Metal Dragon, Black Dragon, White Dragon, Unorthodox, and Outcasts.

The first seven families were close to each other and often cooperate in missions. There's no such thing as a main family here. All the members of these seven families are eligible to become the clan head.

While the white dragon family also stays in the same space as the other clans, the members will have to stay neutral and never interfere in the politics of the clan. For some unknown reason, every user who awakened the white dragon is a girl.

As for the unorthodox family, it consisted of people who were considered to be impure blood by some and mixed-blood by others. While their status is low when compared to others but still, geniuses aren't ignored by the elders. Those who have awakened gold grade or above dragons will still be given respect.

The metal dragon users are also in a way, unorthodox, considering their bloodline is a mixture of various attributes but due to their extraordinary strength, tens of thousands of years ago, they were sorted into the separate family by the council of elders.

As for the outcasts, these people might belong to the dragon clan but awaken other Arcana due to their ancestors. Not every dragon user will marry another. Some will fall in love with others and their descendants might even awaken a dragon. As a result, they will be treated as outcasts.

The children with potential will be sent far away from the clan to grow up in a normal world like the rest of the Arcana Masters. Sometimes, these people will work as spies for the hidden clan.

Apart from these, there are a tiny amount of geniuses within the Dragon clan who had awakened twice. They can choose to join either of the families on their 13th birthday.

Thankfully, there's no such thing as family compounds and everyone just lives together harmoniously, well, except for those elders who always politicize even the normal issues.

***

Back to the match, the countdown timer is nearing zero. Everyone from team Twilight is calm while everyone from team Dragon Riders appeared to be dead serious as if their life depends on the outcome of this match.

As soon as it gets to zero, Claire looked at Gideon, "let's go."

He nodded and in an instant, the sparks of lightning started to dance all over his body without the accompaniment of soul energy. It is pure attribute power.

On the side of team Dragon Riders, the leader named Kenneth Ravillon glanced to the right side, "Harvey, only you can handle that guy."

Harvey Ravillon, the user of the wood dragon, gave a nod in agreement. "I got him."

Even in the last match, his wood dragon managed to suppress Gideon due to its obvious attribute advantage.

But, will Gideon make the same mistake as last time? Obviously, no.

Claire charged toward the leader just like before. She charged forward with her sword and clashed with the Fire Drake.

Drakes are a sub-dragon species with shorter arms and legs compared to pure dragons. Their scales weren't tough as dragons and their appearance will be quite slimmer. As a result, they are more agile but could be injured easily.

However, Kenneth, who experienced a terrible defeat in their previous clash, decided to avoid her. Continuing to mount on the Fire Drake, he passed an order, "fly."

The Fire Drake flapped its wings and flew into the sky to face the giant eagle where Estella was mounted on.

In his stead, the substitute named Ainsley Ravillon faced her. He ordered the rainbow dragon, "Lenny, stop her."

The rainbow dragon let out a low growl and stomped onto the platform. In an instant, a mud wall was erected from the ground.

Ainsley then looked at others who are beside him, "Gideon will probably come from the left. So, Harvey, you better get ready. As soon as the wall is destroyed, let's bombard Claire with everything we have got."

Even though he was a substitute, his teammates listened to his words and nodded in agreement.
