My Soul card is a Reaper

As Terry wracked his brain to think of a perfect explanation, another problematic student interrupted it with a reply, "Daniel has a number of life-saving treasures on him, given by his family. Even in an unconscious state, he doesn't need any help unless there is a exalt realm beast.

Terry can just escape by using a teleportation card. If you want to give a scenario, please take everything into consideration. After telling us about the power of having the information, you forgot to apply it, Mr. Gary."

Azzy's gaze shifted to the amber-eyed and white-haired student who was chewing gum in his mouth. The attitude is clear for everyone.

Upon going through his memories, Azzy realized that this fellow is said to be the strongest student in this academy with his soul power at 999,999, just a step away from a breakthrough to rank-6.

Raydon Geller, nicknamed Craze, doesn't belong to Daniel's gang. He can be considered a loner but still a problematic student as he doesn't have the habit of listening to his elders, just like Azzy.

What's more interesting is the fact that the 16-year-old has the eyes of a killer. The fellow students couldn't see it but Azzy could see it clearly.

Azzy looked at him, "fair enough. So, I'll ask you then. Who among your classmates will you recommend to replace him as an unconscious person?"

Raydon didn't even take a couple of seconds to give his answer. The name came out of his mouth as soon as Azzy asked him. "It would be Wiley."

A student sitting beside the window was startled as his name was suddenly brought up.

As Azzy asked who this Wiley is as it wasn't on the list of potential targets, the boy stood up while stuttering, "Sa… Sir, it's… it's me… me."

Azzy scanned his soul power and found that he was still at the peak stage of rank-4, definitely the weakest.

After gesturing for him to sit down, Azzy turned his attention back to Terry and told him to give the answer.

And once again, as if Raydon wants to spoil the class, he interrupted with a comment, "Terry was more or less a stranger with Wiley. There is no reason for him to risk his life for him. He can leave Wiley and escape. And it is not wrong to do that either."

The effect of Azzy's earlier intimidation was disappeared by Raydon's two counters in a row and some of them burst into laughter, feeling that their teacher has met with the right match.

Meanwhile, Azzy also felt like Raydon was trying to play with him on purpose but he isn't the type to admit defeat by showcasing his real emotions.

Instead, he decided to go on into a war of words with the student.

"If they were together, that means they were teammates, Student Raydon," replied Azzy. He further added, "So, Terry is obliged to save Wiley if the latter is unconscious. In the military, those who abandon their comrades will be called traitors and deserters."

"But, we are just students, Mr. Gary." Raydon countered Azzy's statement with his own logic. "We aren't bound by any duty. And Wiley isn't any relative or a friend that Terry should care about him. Each one is responsible for their own safety."

Azzy didn't back down and continued with his debate, "So, you are implying that one shouldn't risk his life for a stranger?"

Raydon nodded in response, "unless he was bound by any promise or any professional duty, one doesn't need to risk their life for some stranger."

"Then, what if a burglar enters your house and kills your civilian parents living in Deloris town while you are here?" Azzy decided to make this a personal matter to see the student's conviction. "Will you be fine if neighbors say that they didn't dare to try helping your parents as it posed a life risk?"

At once, Raydon was stunned by Azzy's words. "How do you know?"

Azzy had gotten the information from WAMO. Obviously, he would know something about the targets that weren't known to the public.

Raydon's secret is that he was adopted into a noble family of Llyne nation when his parents were alive and well.

The Geller family had struck a deal with Raydon's parents when he was eight years old after awakening a gold-grade Arcana.

In exchange for his legal adoption into their family, the Geller family saved the company of Raydon's father from getting bankrupt.

Raydon would even rarely meet his family and that too in secret. He couldn't understand how Azzy knew of this information.

However, the problem is that Azzy didn't know that it was a piece of secret information. He thought everyone knew it.

Seeing the look of shock on Raydon's face and the confusion on the other students who don't know the truth, Azzy realized that he fuc*ed up and quickly managed it by ending the matter using a powerful voice, "my point is, it is easy for you to ignore strangers but for the family member of victims, it will be different. And you can never expect when your karma will affect your loved ones.

I can give you a hundred examples until you understand this fact but I'm not interested to spend that much on one student. Hence, we are putting away this topic and going back to the original question.

Student Terry, suppose your principal gave you the duty to keep your teammates safe.

In that situation, how will you save yourself and your teammate Wiley from the onslaught of Galarian King?

Will you save yourself and abandon your teammate? Or will you risk your life and try to save both of them?

Whatever your choice is, we need a detailed explanation of your escape. After all, it wasn't just the Galarian King you have to worry about. There are other beasts you might have to face too."

As Terry got up on his feet once again, cursing his bad luck, Azzy shifted his attention from Terry to the whole class for a few seconds and said, "How about this? I'll give the same question to all of you except for Wiley who will be your job to protect. Write your strategies on a piece of paper and submit them to me within 15 minutes.

Everyone except for those who manage to escape with Wiley without any mistake in their strategies will be punished. It will be a light punishment because of a neglect of your duties."

"This…"

Everyone's face stiffened upon hearing Azzy's words. He not only lectured Raydon and managed to defend himself but also took out his anger on the rest of the class.

They felt like they were being punished for Raydon's actions. Those who praised him inwardly for logically arguing with their teacher now cursed him in their hearts.

"Your time starts now."

Azzy then sat in his seat and continued to read his novel.

20 minutes later;

Except for eight, the remaining students were found sitting at their desks but without chairs as Azzy was asking questions.

"What's the weakness of Esom beast?" (A: water)

"How does flanking maneuvers strategy work against the monster of a higher rank when there are three of you?"

"What is the fastest speed of the Scorpio Ape and what are the effects of its sting bite?" (A: 24 kmph, sharp pain, numbness, swelling, difficulty breathing, increased BP, Rapid heartbeat, muscle strain, blurry vision, etc…)

"Using a team of three rank-5 Arcana Masters, prepare a strategy against a rank-7 assassin on the whale island. Your location is at the foot of Mt. Estrya."

He allowed the students who gave the correct answer to sit normally and continue their punishment if fail to give the right one.

Eventually, the class time is over and Azzy told everyone to relax. "We'll meet tomorrow again."

"I hope we don't." Such thought came to the majority of the students at the same time as they stared at Azzy's back with mixed feelings of fear and hatred.

Three hours later;

Azzy who had no classes anymore was seen sitting on a bench outside the gardens, reading a book and having a coffee on the side.

After a while, the sunlight hitting the right side of the face was blocked by someone who descended onto the ground. Followed by that, the person spoke, "I'm looking for you all over the academy, Mr. Gary. And here you are…"

"The classes weren't over yet, Snivy. Don't you want to wait for everyone?" asked Azzy while continuing to read the book.

"I don't care about the audience. Vice Principal Aaron volunteered to be our proctor. That will be enough," replied the woman.

Azzy shut the book and turned his head with a smile, "then, let's get started."
