My Soul card is a Reaper
Chapter 121 Leah’s Destined Knight

"This guy isn't a human but a disguised beast? Are you sure about that, old man?" Upon first glance, Leah's Celestial grade Arcana spirit recognized that Leo isn't Leo.

Leah was shocked to replace that the person below waiting for them is a platinum-grade beast.

"It looks like your friend's twin brother has already been killed and got replaced." Excalibur further revealed to her that a platinum-grade beast from the wild can take the shape of a human once it consumes its flesh.

Although the truth stunned her, Leah managed to keep her face as calm as possible upon realizing that Leo is nothing but a peak-rank-4 beast. She thought that as long as Leo's true combat ability is not greater than high-rank-6, she would be able to deal with it easily.

As for why she wasn't willing to mention to the instructor, it was because her Arcana spirit being a celestial grade is a secret known to no one. And only a peak-rank-8 Arcana master or a child of heaven with the eyes of truth would be able to distinguish any disguise.

Now that she can't claim to possess eyes of truth just to expose this beast, Leah kept quiet as the flying card slowly landed on the ground.

As soon as she entered the academy, the first thing she saw is Leo's greeting towards his twin. Although she didn't know what kind of relationship these twins have, from Leo's tone, Leah felt like the relationship doesn't seem good.

A part of her tells her to take advantage of it somehow and the other part of her tells her to just go and swung the sword to cut off its head.

As for leaving the matter alone, she never thought of it. After all, she's the only descendant of Legendary Arthur Pendragon, who once ruled this Eastern continent.

Even if the Empire of Arcana vanished a hundred thousand years and only left with the tiny kingdom of Camelot, which used to be the capital region of the empire, Leah still takes pride in her ancestry and felt like she would tarnish the reputation of her ancestors if she let the beast getaway.

No matter what, she decided to see Leo's end before the tournament is over.

But, since Leo's identity is that of a royal prince, she felt like she had to be careful in dealing with this matter, or else, an international incident would arise because of her.

Moreover, she also had her own mission to participate in this competition.

"Welcome to the Aclein Academy." Meanwhile, Leo greeted the rest of the guests with a smile after greeting his twin brother.

As Theodore was also looked down on by the instructor as well as the other representatives, they paid no attention to Leo's earlier actions to their teammate. Instead, they returned the greetings, maintaining their etiquette.

Leah also maintained her usual bright expression as she greeted the two of them. "You must be Leonard Light and Zona, nice meeting you two..."

Zona was taken aback as she was suddenly greeted by this princess. "You know me?" She asked in disbelief.

"Of course, one should always know the names of their worthy opponents. Your unique mimic ability is something desired by every academy. Too bad that we weren't able to become fellow classmates. Our academy rules are strict after all."

If it was someone else standing before them, they would have frowned as they would feel that Leah was mocking Zona because of her birth. However, Leo is a Galarian King and Zona felt happy instead after being acknowledged by someone from the royalty.

The representatives from the Heavenly Academy were also happy thinking that their captain was reminding the girl that no matter what kind of potential Zona has, she lost the qualifications to enter their academy from the moment she was born to commoners.

As for the person in question, Leah, she just said it without thinking much.

With everyone having their own thoughts, the group set out towards the dorms as it is already too late for the tour.

Meanwhile, after having dinner outside due to Claire's request, Azzy, Gideon, and Claire returned to the academy.

Feeling like a third wheel, as soon as they reached the entrance, Gideon left the two of them alone.

In the end, Azzy ended up walking Claire to the female dormitory. Having no important topic to discuss, Azzy simply stayed silent as he continued to walk. Meanwhile, Claire was hesitating to talk about something.

Taking a deep breath, she finally opened her mouth, "Azrael... actually, I wanted to ask you about something."

"Yes?" He looked at her.

"Are you considering the offer from Sun Academy?" Even though it's her sister who urged her to ask him about his decision as he has yet to give his answer after the academy rejected the offers from the other top academies, Claire herself was curious about it. After all, she decided on her future path to get into this Elite Academy.

In response, Azzy shook his head, "No, I don't have any interest in joining any academy for higher studies."

"Eh?" Claire was taken aback and she halted her steps. "That means, you are joining an organization?" She didn't expect even organizations had their eye on Azzy.

Turning around, Azzy once again shook his head, "No. I don't have an interest in joining the organization either. Once I graduate from the academy, I will roam the world of Arcana and train along the way."

His response made Claire go in shock. For a while, she just stood there like a statue, not expecting Azzy to choose such a path. She felt all of her future plans with Azzy seemed to be broken like glassware.

"Claire? Claire?" Azzy was even more puzzled to see her unexpected reaction. As he waved his hands, she returned to reality and apologized before forcing herself to smile, "I guess you must have taken that decision after thinking thoroughly. Good luck..."

Although she was smiling on the surface, Azzy saw a trace of disappointment on her face. He wondered whether she was sad because he rejected her sister's offer.

Both of them continued to walk slowly. Claire didn't open her mouth until they reach the dormitory before he said bye to her.

Meanwhile, inside the dormitory, the warden was escorting Leah and her teammate to the third floor where there's a room available for them. Although they disliked the fact that they have to share a small room with another person, the girls put up with it.

After Zona left while informing a few people about their identities on her way, soon, Leah's room was swarmed with the neighbors.

Not willing to show themselves as arrogant princesses, both of them socialized with them for a while before the spirit of Excalibur spoke in her head, "He's very near, Leah. The aura wasn't exactly the same as a hundred thousand years ago, nevertheless, it was him, the one we are looking for and your destined knight."

Trusting her Arcana's words, Leah excused herself from the crowd and left the room to go downstairs and meet the person who was destined to be her knight and help her reviving the ancient Empire of Arcana.

As she exited the dormitory, Leah saw a few people walking by. She wondered who it was. "There are too many people here. Who is it, old man..." She asked the sword spirit.

Excalibur let out a sigh, "I can no longer sense him. Perhaps, he already left..."

"Ugh... You are seriously too weak, old man..." Leah didn't waste any opportunity to tease her sword spirit. "Why does a celestial spirit like you have the worst sensing capabilities... Even I can sense a person from ten kilometers away. Maybe, you should have stayed in retirement in the spirit world instead of reincarnating..."

"I already told you that I represent the authority, you annoying brat... not the power. You should be happy that a celestial grade spirit like me chose you." The old man snorted in response.

"Yeah, yeah. I heard those words, a million times already. Try something new..." Leah didn't take his words seriously either as it was just their everyday quarrel.

Putting aside the matter, He then said in a serious tone, "I think he must be passing by when I sensed his presence. How about you follow this road? When we get near, I would be able to sense him."

"Doesn't matter..." She shrugged her shoulders, "If he's as powerful as you claimed him to be, then, he will be in the tournament. We will eventually meet sooner or later."
