My Soul card is a Reaper

With the presence of a rank-5 platinum-grade-beast, and that too in the form of a skeleton, all of the spectators stood up from their seats upon realizing that Azzy is a necromancer.

Even Vann was in the same condition. Like Gideon, he too concluded that Azzy is a twin Arcana user.

According to his investigations, Azzy's Arcana is supposed to be a black wolf with dark/lightning attributes. As for him being a necromancer, he doesn't care about it much. Even in his kingdom's Army, there are necromancers, although the citizens hate them like elsewhere.

On other hand, Claire finally realized why her sword spirit hates Azzy. She misunderstood that it is because he's a necromancer who can summon the dead. As a light attribute arcana, they were indeed mortal enemies. However, it didn't change her feelings even a little bit. 

Only Barbara is in a calm state as necromancy is common in the Death clan. With Azzy's beast being a top-tier platinum-grade beast, it is no wonder he can summon the beasts of the same level.

*Roar**Roar* *Roar* *Roar*

As the four heads of hydra gave a powerful roar at once, the mighty bison and bull suddenly became pitiful as their legs started to shake. They were hesitating to go forward anymore.

Meanwhile, Floyd, who forced himself to calm down, shouted, "Wake up Minos. It is only one low-rank-5 beast and is nothing but an empty shell. You are stronger." "Use Soul skill: Fire Rush"

*Moo*

Heeding it to its master's order, the bull mustered its courage and unleashed its soul skill. Flames started to dance around its horns as well as the legs.

At the same time, Gold also ordered the same. The bison also unleashed its soul skill. It turned into a steel bison as it rushed towards the four-headed giant snake. 

Looking coldly at the beasts that were about to attack the skeleton Hydra, Azzy gave an order, "Use soul skill: Tornado."

Almost instantly, a familiar tornado that the audience has seen in the tournament finals reappeared. However, this seemed more powerful than the last one due to its higher grade and higher rank.

Both of the beasts that tried to attack the beasts, now are helplessly floating in the air and going along with the sharp winds. 

Gideon who stood beside Azzy was also affected by it. Just as his feet about to rise in the air, Azzy caught him and quickly backed away before they too get swallowed by the wind.

"Use soul skill: Fire breath" Azzy didn't stop there. He immediately used the combo attack.

Upon receiving Azzy's order, one of the heads released a tremendous amount of flames into the tornado. In no time, a simple harmless tornado had transformed into a lethal fire tornado.

At the Arena-3, Vice Principal Sahara, Leo, and Zona were waiting for the special guests that were about to arrive. Both of them are standing on a platform that was prepared beforehand for the guests to land.

It made them wonder whether they coming by aircraft or something. 

Soon, a large helicopter appeared in their view. Unlike a traditional one, this one is different, unlike anything they have seen.

It was big with four sets of tires and has two sets of large rotor blades, one on the front and one at the other end to balance the weight.

As the helicopter is landing, it attracted the attention of nearby students who were training around.

More than eight students wearing military-style uniforms exited one by one. Along with them, a burly middle-aged bald man also stepped down from the vehicle.

He was at least 8ft big and 4ft wide. His black skin color and built made it apparent that he was someone that hailed from the mysterious western continent or at least where his ancestry belongs to.

Their physique was strong that most nations fear to go war against them. In a physical brawl, even a normal civilian will be able to defeat a four-star Arcana master.

Zona can't help but feel amazed and a little bit of fear while watching the eight-foot giant human walking towards them. 

"The Air around the Central Academy is really different," Zona commented while staring at the students who are following him in a uniform manner. Their pace and steps were so synchronized that Zona remembered a military parade she saw when she's a child.

"Well, they are the number one academy for a good reason." On the other hand, Leo was a lot calmer. He only felt threatened by the old woman beside him and the monster in human skin. In his eyes, the rest of them weren't that strong.

"Welcome to Aclein Academy." The old woman greeted them with a smile. "I'm Sahara Fauns, the Vice Principal of this Academy."

Taking the handshake, the burly man replied, "I didn't expect your headmaster has the connections to force our management in withdrawing our complaint."

His face was serious and he doesn't seem pleased either.

"Well, my husband has his own secrets." She maintained the smile, feeling proud of the Principal.

Although he was surprised that this rank-7 expert is Barton's wife, he still managed to keep his face straight and shrugged his shoulders, "It all the same whether the venue is Egrein Academy or the Aclein Academy. Anyway, please lead the way…"

"Mr. Jordon, this is Leonard Light and this Zona. They will take you to the respective dorms." Sahara then introduced the both of them, implying that she will part her ways right away as she had more important things to do.

It brought a frown to the instructor as well as these students who think themselves too high. But then, as Jordon heard both of their names, he looked at Zona and said, "I heard of you from our management. You are the girl with mimic abilities, right." He completely disregarded Leo's existence as he hates people with strong backgrounds.

Leo also didn't feel offended a bit as he was just a monster from the wild that only looks for survival.

After handing the responsibility to the two students, Sahara left in swift steps.

"First, take us to the place where the Championship will be held. I want to see for myself whether it is good enough." Jordon gave the instruction right away.

A few minutes later, they entered the training grounds-1. While leading to the Arena, she started to explain about the habitats.

However, unlike the students from the other academies that were impressed with it, no one from the Central Academy is interested to listen to it as they too have similar habitats in their Academy.

In fact, they felt like this training ground is a complete copy of theirs, although on a small scale. Instead of being impressed, it only made everything think the Academy is nothing but trash.

But, as they weren't allowed to comment when the instructor is there, everyone stayed silent.

Zona didn't realize their thoughts and continued to explain until they reached the path that leads to the Grand Arena.

"It was acceptable." After a long time, finally, Zona heard Jordon open his mouth and it turned out to be a compliment. "Let's get inside. I want to check the VIP rooms, waiting rooms, and the battle ground."

Just then, everyone witnessed a huge tornado formed in the middle of the Grand Arena. Soon, it turned into a fire tornado…

"What is this energy?" Jordon frowned upon sensing high rank-5 power from the fire tornado.
