My Soul card is a Reaper

People are lining up at the entrances of their respective portal points. Before the entrances, each one has a signboard displaying their respective city name.

There was a wide road separating these twelve portal points and the other twelve portal points on the other side which are facing against them.

Azzy recognized one of the names. It's Larnwick, a city located nearby his native town from the Southern Qudour nation.

If one were to observe from the sky, they can see this base camp was divided into several blocks with 12 portal points and are parallel to each other, separated by a wide road.

Each of the blocks that contain 12 portal points is guarded by their respective governments while the officers of the Order of Arcana patrol 24/7 to make sure no disputes arose between them.

Currently, Azzy's attention was elsewhere.

Far away on the right, Azzy saw several modern buildings as if it was a small town, and on the far left there's a dense forest.

He was stunned to see a city was built here.

Azzy was already taken aback when he heard from Princess Snieca about the academy that was built here but now, he was completely shocked.

He always thought the Arcana Masters who venture into this world will eat in the wild and sleep at some caves or on the branches.

They hit the road started walking towards the city with Grade 10 students and 3 teachers on the front while the other 3 followed from behind to make sure none of them gets lost.

At the entrance of the city, the teachers paid 1000 credits per person as an entrance fee.

Like at the portal points, each of them was provided a badge with Nlethemar written on it, and the Galarian beast symbol was engraved below the name.

As they entered the city, Azzy saw not only there are tall buildings, but also various stores, businesses, tourism spots, and an observation tower at the center of the city.

The city was bustling with people. There are thousands of Arcana masters roaming here and there. None of them are of rank-6 and above as they aren't allowed in the level-2 region.

Suddenly, Gideon whispered, "Azzy, you look like this is your first time visiting Arcana city or something."

Azzy paused for a second. He wondered whether he should tell the truth or not.

After thinking for a while, he nodded his head.

"No way…" Gideon gasped in surprise. "You never visited an Arcana city on this planet?"

Azzy stayed silent as he can't say that it's the first time he was even inside this world, much less about the city.

Nothing good comes out of saying such a thing.

"This is the Nlethemar City." Gideon introduced him to the basics as he thought Azzy might have only trained in the wild before.

Maybe, it's because he's an orphan and the orphanage can't afford to spend money on entrance fees and the accommodation for the children.

No wonder his friend wasn't able to control his strength.

It's because the orphanage doesn't have enough money to hire a private tutor for him.

Like that Gideon formed his own theory in his mind.

After having a one-hour tour, the six groups separated from each other with their teachers and chose different lodging houses.

Because Leo was in the group, to befit his status, he spent his own money to book a few suites at the best hotel in the city.

Azzy felt overwhelmed for a while.

Even though he was born rich and raised like a young master in his town, he never experienced such luxury.

But soon, he quickly gets to his senses. They weren't staying at such a place much longer.

As he expected, they left their rooms just after an hour.

Azzy followed Hermon and the rest of the group towards the forest.

*Clap* "Alright listen to me. Moving in such a huge group is risky out there. So, we'll break into four more groups with a team of four.

Angelina, Acacia, and Ferrand Ogden… the three of you will follow Ms. Rose. Since none of you are peak-rank-4, I'll tag along with your group.

Arminius, Agustin, and Claire Leuf… Uhh… Ms. Claire… The three of you will follow Mr. Passel.

Reid Stripes, Silvester Stripes, and Kellen Stripes… You will follow Mr. Dale Stripes.

Gideon, Azrael, and Ranier will follow the Fifth Prince. The Tenth-grade students are quite experienced in wildlife. So, please follow their instructions for your safety especially you, eighth-graders.

Any unexpected issue arises and none of you can deal with it, then, captains, use the signal flare. If not me, then, some other teacher will come to your rescue.

Your goal today is to get to know the region and the monsters. Most of them here are relatively peaceful and won't harm you guys unless you provoke it.

But be cautious. You may encounter a wild Arcana beast once in a while.

And lastly, don't provoke a monster that's over your rank." Combat trainer Hermon passed the instructions. "Mr. Passel, Lord Fifth, I'll leave the safety of grade-8 students in your hands."

Previously, when he was sorted into groups, although Azzy suspected that there's a conspiracy going on, he wasn't a hundred percent sure.

Now, upon hearing Hermon's words, Azzy was sure that this prince is pulling the strings.

But he wasn't worried about the schemes that he's going to pull out now. In front of absolute strength, tricks are meaningless.

Right now, he was the strongest of the group in raw strength even if the instructor was included.

Worst comes to worst, he was prepared to use the Hourglass to turn around the time except that with his lack of control, he will only get back to the car incident that occurred a few months ago.

The group of 16 that divided into four groups went in different directions.

While they parted their ways, Claire glanced at Azzy's back, and once again, she became curious.

Even though dark and light are opposite, she never felt her Arcana hate the other dark attributed Arcanas as much as this one.

She felt that if not for her perfect control, the divine sword might even summon by itself and tries to cut him into pieces.

The divine sword doesn't answer her. Maybe, she can find out the reason if she gets to spent time with him.

Such a thought developed in this 14-year-old girl.

Meanwhile, Bay frowned as he witnessed the scene. His hate towards Azzy increased further.

Azzy's group of four entered the forest.

As Gideon requested that he needs to hunt down the Galarian beast to enhance his lightning element, Leo gladly leads them towards their habitat.
