My Soul card is a Reaper

According to the rules of the former Aclein Academy or the current Eternal Institutions or just any other top academy, it's a formal tradition that those students who have an extreme problem with someone can challenge them as long as the latter's soul power isn't lesser than the former.

Once both parties are ready to battle, a teacher can stand as a referee for their battle. In rare incidents, a witness can also be a referee as long as he/she is stronger than the participants and has the power to stop the battle at any time.

Both of the participants then put forth their conditions and whoever loses must abide by the rules of the match. Once the match is over, then, the two must not show any grudges to each other. It is the job of the disciplinary committee and student council to take care of the situation.

In case the loser doesn't adhere to the commitment of fulfilling the conditions that he/she accepted, while the school management couldn't take any action against them, their dignity will fall in everyone's eyes and might get taunted by even teachers later.

And now, on the first day of the semester, a huge battle is going to erupt between the two Elite realm experts where the reason for their battle isn't even that great to show such animosity, well, at least to the spectators.

For Claire, the name Rael holds significant importance in her life. She addressed him by that name for the first time when she kissed him on the train and confessed her feelings. Even she doesn't know why she calls him that way but it felt natural and very familiar for her. Now that she is in a relationship with him, Claire felt it was reserved for her as if she owns it.

On the other hand, there's Estella, who thinks of herself as the Arcana Master with the highest potential. She believes her world was different from these ordinary geniuses and thought only a person, who possesses the same talent like her, would probably understand her.

She couldn't transfer to other academies like Heavenly Academy and others as the academy wouldn't let her go. And so, when a lucky opportunity arrived before her, she didn't hesitate to transfer to Aclein Academy to train and fight alongside Azzy.

With a record of not getting lost by her peers in the same realm all her life, she looks down on everyone and believes every Arcana Master with a Gold or lower Grade spirit is below her. So, when Claire obstructed her path, she felt humiliated and decided to teach her a lesson.

Both of them have their own views that go against each other and so, they eventually ended up at the Training Grounds-2 along with Poor Azzy, who not only didn't get to each his lunch but was also forced to become a Referee. Gideon, Mia, and several others became spectators, taking the seats at the audience section.

As the news spread too quickly, several teachers also joined the audience, although a majority of them were only interested in this true daughter of heaven who transferred from the main branch.

"Okay, let me recount the conditions of the match." Azzy who became the referee for the first time carefully followed the rules that he remembered. "If student Claire loses, she'll kneel before the winner and apologize for her actions. And if student Estella loses, she'll… *Ahem* she'll never address student Azrael with a short name or any kind of nickname."

Azzy was a little embarrassed because of the strange condition put forth by his girlfriend. What kind of stupid terms is this? It's ridiculous. Azzy inwardly sighed and then, leaped back to land smoothly on the ground a few meters away, "both of the participants will have one minute of preparation. And let me remind you that usage of pre-activated skill cards is forbidden."

"I don't know whether you are brave or a fool." Estella sneered as she stretched her hand forward, summoning her soul card. She continued with a taunt, "But, then again, this is a good thing. After this match, everyone will also realize not to mess with me. Since you are doing me a favor by becoming an example, I'll go easy on you."

"Come out and have fun, Oh the lord of the seas, Levi," Estella calls out for the spirit of her Arcana and summoned it from her soul card.

In an instant, a giant cyan-colored dragon head exited the soul card, followed by the rest of its body before landing on the ground. A huge shadow fell on Claire, taking her by surprise.

It is by far, the biggest monster even Azzy saw until the present. The students were in awe to look at this four-hundred feet large sea serpent that was covered by dragon scales and had fearsome red eyes with no visible pupils. In fact, the height they were seeing is only half of its true height, considering half of its lower body was still on the ground.

*Roar* It let out a powerful roar that was a mixture of demonic and draconic. The roar shook the hearts of several students who were at the lower realm and was so loud that even the people passing by had heard it and took a glimpse in the direction of the source, only to get scared by its appearance. Several passersby on the road stopped and stared at the Leviathan in shock. Even they didn't see such a large monster in their lives.

The freelancers who were lurking around the academy couldn't help but take pictures of it, although from far away as the security personal won't allow them inside. With the image of the Academy soaring to new heights due to the Champions League, the main branch heightened the security with several Upper Elite realm experts and even appointed an Exalt realm expert as the head of the security.

Despite its sheer size, it was still at a peak stage of the Elite realm. So, higher realm experts around didn't feel much threatened by it except for being shocked that its energy gave the intensity of a platinum-grade beast.

Meanwhile, Claire quickly calmed down and just observed the giant monster that lowered its head to the ground and let its master mount it. "So, what if it's big? In the end, it was only a platinum grade monster, not even a mutated one, much less a Celestial grade." She wasn't intimidated in the least. If anything else, Claire was even more confident in winning against her because right now, she was at a higher level despite her lower soul power.

"It's time to show your new self, Agatha." Claire let out a smile as she summoned her Arcana. A familiar-looking heavy sword brimming with a holy aura appeared in her hands. However, the entire stadium went silent for a moment.

"The Hell, Platinum grade?" "That sword…" "How is this possible?" Every spectator had something similar going on in their head as soon as the sword of the Michael has revealed itself. Even her best buddies couldn't believe their eyes now.

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ "Is it me or did I just see that Claire's sword gives off the same intensity as that monster? No, it appeared even higher? What's going on?" Gideon asked Mia in disbelief. To which, the latter replied, "It looks like something happened during the summer."

She was best friends with Claire for several years and she very well knew that Claire's Arcana spirit was only gold grade, which mutated during her breakthrough to rank-4. How did it suddenly turn out to be a mutated platinum grade, now?

While everyone was left with confusion, Estella who was standing on the head of her prized Leviathan mumbled in seriousness, "So, this is why you were so confident on taking me head-on, eh. Then, let's see how strong you are."

Upon seeing the sword, Estella no longer looked at Claire as someone weakling but as a potential rival. She summoned her storage card and took out an exquisite bow where the bones and blood of a rank-7 platinum grade beast are used in the process of making it.

"She's an archer, huh." As the person who uses the same type of weapon, Mia was interested in her archery skills. At the same time, she felt it makes sense to use the Leviathan's size to its advantage.

As soon as the minute is up, Azzy announced loud and clear, "start."

"Levi, attack." Estella made the first move without wasting the time.

The Leviathan didn't even need to move from its spot to attack its enemy. It lowered its head and stretched towards Claire or more specifically aiming at the sword, which is a natural enemy of it, considering it has a demonic bloodline in it while the sword has a holy aura.

Upon reaching the enemy, it opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth that are bigger than even Claire. A few of the spectators gasped as if they felt the monster is going to swallow Claire.

Thankfully, after training at 20g surface at Camelot, Claire was a lot faster in a normal environment. It was a piece of cake for her to dodge the attack using the wings.

It was then, Estella conjured a cyan-colored energy arrow and then added wind attribute to it, consuming a little more than two hundred thousand soul power. With the help of wind attribute energy, the arrow shot towards Claire swiftly.

"Oh, no." Azzy became worried as he found the arrow almost about to hit the side of Claire's abdomen.
