My Soul card is a Reaper

However, one compartment was filled with dead silence.

It was so silent that the passengers sitting inside it could only hear the noise made by the train.

The compartment which was actually packed with people at Aclein station now appeared to be deserted.

Only a total of twelve people are sitting in the coach.

Five members belonged to team Twilight. There's Camelot's crown princess Leah, Northern Qudour's crown prince Theodore light and princess Emelia Light, and four men in suits. Three of them are of peak-rank-6 and the other is in the realm of seven-star.

However, right now, everyone is silent with their eyes fixed on Azzy and Leah whose palms were joined together while their eyes were kept shut for the past 30 minutes.

They couldn't help but wonder what's going on with the two of them.

***

<strong>An hour ago, at Aclein station;</strong>

Feeling sleepy, Azzy was about to take a nap but was disturbed by the unexpected appearance of Leah and others.

They appeared to be very intimidating, at least for the lower rank Arcana masters who sat in their seats.

On the other hand, just like Azzy and his friends, it appeared these royals were also surprised to find Azzy and his team in the same train, that too in the same coach.

"Hey, Azrael." Leah waved her hands with a look of delight on her face as if she was meeting long lost friend. "What a coincidence. We meet once again."

As soon as she spotted Azzy, Leah's face brightly glowed and her walking pace increased.

"Once, it is a coincidence. Twice, it is not. It looks like you both are destined to meet. As for the exact nature of the relationship, who knows how it will turn out?" As the Reaper's voice echoed in his head, Azzy felt like there's something wrong with his words, although he couldn't put his finger on it.

Assuming that the Reaper was talking about collaboration in taking down their common enemy, the Draco-Galarian, Azzy returned her greetings, "It's been a while, Ms. Pendragon."

The knights frowned at his addressing and as just as the captain was about to summon his sword, not caring about the public around him, Leah nodded, maintaining her smile. "It is."

Gideon, who was excited like a fool thinking that he was traveling with a beauty in the same compartment by pure coincidence, opened his mouth as she reached them. "Princess Leah, are you also going to Egrein city?"

She merely glanced at him for a fraction of a second and gave a plain nod before she turned to Azzy. "You too?"

"Yes." Pointing his finger at Mia, Azzy further said, "Her father invited us."

"I see." She nodded and then said, "I wasn't that much interested to go to Egrein but Prince Light invited me to the palace. I heard that the Royal ancestor of this nation had made a breakthrough to rank-9. So, I thought it might be a good opportunity to meet him."

Her actions of focusing only on Azzy while giving unnecessary explanations to him gave others an impression that she's interested in him and was trying to clear a possible misunderstanding of something is going on between her and Theo.

Of course, that's only limited to Azzy's friends and Leah's companions.

As for others, no one cares as both of them look quite young but still, they were focused on the couple, mainly because of Leah's luxurious clothes accompanied by her beauty that attracted the attention of every male passenger present in the compartment.

Meanwhile, looking at Leah and Azzy, Theo felt jealous but he quickly managed to control his expression after taking a look at Azzy's indifferent expression.

It reminded him that this was the same person who lifted a 7000-pound Rhino like some cat and threw it away. This was the same person who even destroyed a 200 meters large rock with just a single punch and this was the same person who finished a strong team like Crescent within one single minute.

In Theo's eyes, regardless of his social status, Azzy was the number one person whom he couldn't offend unless he has the support of the Royal Ancestor.

For now, he swallowed his jealousy and stayed still, letting the princess continue her conversation.

However, in the compartment, he wasn't the only one who was angered by this situation.

There was another girl, sitting nearby the window while biting her nails in frustration.

It was Claire.

Watching their conversation, she cursed her inside, "first that Barbara and now, this b***h. Is the world lacking men or something? Did they only find my Azrael of all people? No, I should do something about this…"

Not intending to stay as a spectator anymore, Claire interrupted their conversation and reminded her that they were blocking the way of the people behind them.

"We'll talk another time." Soon, she took her seat that was far in the back. Theo also felt thankful for her interruption for it is unbearable for him to see his goddess behave this way.

Soon, the doors closed and the train started to move.

For a while, nothing strange happened. Azzy took a nap. Despite being ignored, Gideon was happy because of Leah's presence.

Snivy was scolding Gideon to not embarrass them by acting like an idiot.

In the meantime, Mia went ahead and sat with the group by exchanging the seats with Emelia. She wanted to catch up with her favorite cousin who she used to play with during childhood.

But, Mia didn't know that Theo was annoyed that his quality time with Leah was being disturbed by his cousin who was in a mood to recount their childhood days.

As for Claire, she was satisfied that this alleged love rival was finally left and happily chatted with this expert, who was working as the homeroom/all-subject teacher for grade-3 of Elite division.

Everything was fine until the train stopped at the next station of Crepus.

"Huh! What's going on?" Claire and others were bewildered to watch every passenger except stood up from their seats and stepped out of the train with their luggage.

Looking at the look on their faces that looked blank, everyone on team twilight realized that their minds were controlled by someone. The main character also woke up from his nap as his adjacent passenger did walk out like others, slightly colliding with his leg on the way.

It was only after everyone evacuated that he realized that it was the work of Leah as he saw the latter patted the knight captain beside her and said, "Good job."

As the doors closed, amid everyone's gazes, Leah suddenly stood up from her seat and walked towards Azzy.

"The compartment feels stuffy and too noisy with chattering of those civilians." She spoke to him while taking a seat opposite him.

"Why do you bother to even board this train when you don't want to travel with commoners?" Claire didn't hold back at all, feeling that this princess went overboard with her actions.

Turning her head, Leah replied that it was her first time to travel in this type of train.

She further said that those passengers were reimbursed with triple the amount of the ticket price, and the others were arranged special vehicles.

After giving an explanation to Claire, not caring about other people's opinions any longer, Leah stood up from her seat and sat beside Azzy on the window seat while inviting Theo and Mia to sit with her.

Mia and Theo also joined them.

Claire's face once again darkened while Emelia looked at them curiously.

She was wondering whether the girl had taken a liking of Azzy or she was intending to scout him as her knight.

As for scouting for the Heavenly Academy, Emelia didn't even think of it as it is impossible for a commoner to study at the place that was reserved for the aristocrats.

On the other hand, jealous Theo couldn't help but look at Azzy in an unfriendly way as he looked at how his crush sat beside another boy voluntarily. His blood boiled in anger.

For a while, Leah kept silent. She was bickering with her Arcana.

On the other hand, Azzy decided to spend the time reading a book on the history of the war between Northern and Southern Qudour.

Finally, after her bickering is over, Leah took a deep breath and opened her mouth, "Um, Azrael?"

"Yes?"

"There's someone that wishes to talk to you."
