My Soul card is a Reaper

Some students were happy that students of a prestigious academy will be joining them while the others were disappointed that they were all males.

In the whole school, their class was extremely popular for two things. One is Azzy, a rank-5 Arcana master and the other is that it is the only class with no female students.

These adolescent single boys were so desperate to date a girlfriend that some of them even wanted to perform poorly in the monthly tournaments to go back into a different division.

But, as the conditions were too better at Elite division whether it is the classroom or the dormitory, they can\'t help but stay here.

Back to the present, finishing with their little background introduction, Rubin looked at them, "Please introduce yourselves."

The tallest boy was the first to introduce himself, "Hello, My name is Roland, 14-years-old, grade-8, Forest Division, 99241 soul power. Nice to meet you."

Everyone in the classroom stared at the boy in silence as he gave such a weird introduction.

Maybe, Rubin understood their thoughts. He quickly clarified, "Maple Academy\'s divisions are unique. It starts with the Root, then, Leaf, Branch, Trunk, Tree, and at last, the Forest. Obviously, the Forest division means they are elite students…"

While everyone who heard it thought it was weird, they kept their mouths shut.

Then the second boy, who was the shortest of the bunch, introduced himself, "Hello, My name is Kyle Ferlet, 14-years-old, grade-8, Forest Division, 97885 soul power."

\'Why are they revealing their soul power in introductions?\' Gideon whispered to Azzy.

Azzy shrugged his shoulders, "who knows…"

The last one was different from the other two. He was neither short nor tall. Just average but what made him unique is his bald head and a foolish grin on his face.

Azzy, who never saw a bald person in his life, looked at him curiously as if he was watching an animal in the zoo.

He raised his hand in the air while introducing himself, "Hello, I\'m Drake of Forest division."

Almost everyone closed their ears in reflex as his voice was too loud. The shorty nudged him from beside with a frown on his face.

The baldy toned down his voice and continued, "My soul power is 99999. I hope that I will break through to rank-5 before my 14th birthday, which is a week away."

His voice once again rose as he waved his hands, "Let\'s get along."

Although everyone was impressed by their soul power, they still felt that this baldy was going to be a troublesome brat.

As the representative of grade-8, Lark felt more pressure.

"Please, sit wherever you like," Rubin told them to take any of the empty seats.

Except for Gideon and Azzy, and two more students that got promoted to Elite division a while ago, everyone spread all over the room, making it appear empty to them.

To make it livelier, each of them shared the desk with the original student. Gideon can\'t help but gave the looks of being envious towards them.

Azzy shook his head and continued to focus on the book.

*Clap* *Clap* Grabbing the attention from everyone, Rubin then spoke, "the annual tournament is only two days away. I\'m hoping everyone is prepared. I\'ll be busy with other things in the following days, so, I\'m cautioning you guys in advance."

Everyone wondered what he was going to tell. However, his next words only caused nothing but displeasure in their hearts.

"To maintain optimal condition in the tournament, rest is necessary before the match. That\'s why… make sure to practice with all your heart today and take rest for tomorrow."

Looking at this lazy guy now behaves like a model teacher before these foreign students, everyone else scoffed in their hearts.

He is their homeroom teacher for the past nine months. Out of nearly 230 school days until now, they saw him sleeping at his desk for more than 200 days.

He rarely gives advice; rarely check their homework; he was even spotted sleeping in the staff room multiple times while everyone else is preparing for the Champions league;

In their trips to the Arcana world, except for giving the information about the place, they never saw him help them out with any monster.

A lot of times, the students found him sleeping. They didn\'t know whether he was brave or foolish.

He grabs them and takes them away only when their life is at risk. And that too, when there is no one else is available.

So, most of these kids find him extremely unreliable. Only Azzy knew that the teacher was lazy because of his Arcana spirit.

When he complained informally to the principal in usual study sessions, his master explained to him the reason.

Back to the present;

"Okay then… I\'m leaving. I have lots of work." Rubin then looked at Lark and told him to look after the guests.

As soon as he left, everyone except Azzy quickly surrounded the three foreigners. As they were introducing themselves to form a friendship with them, the shorty from the Maple Academy kept on glancing at Azzy, who was busy with something.

From the moment they arrived at the classroom, naturally, the three of them noticed Azzy who seemed stronger than themselves.

Who wouldn\'t be surprised that a person who was of the same age and has a higher soul rank is studying in a mediocre academy like Aclein…

Naturally, they became curious. However, only Kyle wanted to spar with him.

Of course, he was only expecting a friendly spar. Kyle wished to know whether Azzy is just of higher rank or whether he is really strong.

After talking with the others for a while, he suddenly asked, pointing his finger towards Azzy, "what is his name? Is he really, rank-5?"

The three of them turned their heads towards the direction his finger was pointing towards and then one of them replied with a nod, "His name is Azrael and yes, he\'s a rank-5."

"Is he strong?" He asked the others.
