My Soul card is a Reaper
Chapter 267 Adam’s Unique Arcana

While the members of the losing teams are running around the stadium with their leaders wearing 100 kg armor because of failing to finish the task, in the middle of the grand arena, Arley Blood, the instructor brought a sparring robot in front of team Azrael and let them spar for five minutes, one after another.

As the leader, Azzy got the first chance. Being the most experienced in sparring against a robot, he displayed his favorite fighting style, the combination of various fighting techniques of boxing, taekwondo, and jujitsu.

As these high-quality sparring robots analyze the opponent's fighting pattern and employ a strategy, Azzy cannot use one style and so, he decided to different techniques to make it harder for the robots while he aims for their joints and blind spots.

From the moment Arley started the stopwatch, the robot with low-rank-6 strength was completely overpowered, leaving the spectators amazed, especially the juniors as well as the transfer student Adam.

"Senior Azrael is so strong. He didn't even summon his Arcana. It looked like he held back his strength in Champions League." Flora commented with her eyes fixed on the sparring. Gideon was standing beside her.

Crossing his arms to the chest, he replied, "It is probably because his opponent isn't a human."

"Huh!" The others who were also paying attention to his words took a glimpse at Gideon as if they were asking what he meant by that.

Gideon explained to Flora, "Azzy had a lack of control over his strength for a long time. So, even after acquiring control with all the hard work, he tries to hold back his strength in a worry that he might kill his opponent."

It was at that moment, the instructor spoke while looking at the stopwatch, "Student Azrael, you have fifteen seconds left."

Upon hearing it, Azzy kicked the ground and increased his speed as he charged forward, making a fist covered by pitch-black-colored energy.

The robot's blue eyes turned deeper.

"Incoming Danger… Activating Divine Shield."

As the robot raised its arms, a familiar blue shield appeared before the robot like a three-meter big and two-meter wide wall to block the attack.

However, Azzy was no longer a rank-4 like in the past. Even back then, he managed to shatter it. How can it block his punch, now that his physical strength is almost equivalent to that of a peak-rank-6 Arcana Master?

As soon as his energy-powered punch landed on the shield, it broke into pieces like glass and it put its arms forward to defend against the incoming punch that hit it head-on.

The robot flew for a couple of dozen meters before it crashed onto the ground. Sparks flew out of its body while it spoke to itself, "Core Damaged by 73%. System is malfunctioning. Self-repair isn't possible. Emergency Hibernation activated."

Within a few seconds, it went offline and just lies on the ground like a dead body

A frown appeared on Arley. "It looks like I underestimated his strength."

He quickly turned into a blur and reappeared beside the robot and placed it in the storage card. "I should bring peak stage one, next time. Or just maybe, I should have a talk with Principal Barton and ask for permission to use one of the guardian robots. Azrael is still growing. Only rank-7 ones might tame his power."

After placing it in the storage card, Instructor Arley Blood took out another robot for the others to spar. This one is only peak-rank-5 and is weaker than the earlier one but Arley felt it is sufficient considering the strongest of the remaining bunch is only at the beginner stage of the Elite realm.

"Okay, student Azrael, you can join the rest." Arley shifted his eyes towards the juniors and decided on the next interesting genius. "Student Flora, you are next. As I have mentioned before, the robot will adjust its strength based on its opponent. So, you have no need to worry."

Flora felt like her heartbeat rose because of nervousness. This is the first time she had even sparred against someone that is over her realm.

Passing by her, Azzy gave a suggestion, "Your opponent is a lot stronger than you and will only focus on defense. Just give everything you have got without worrying about control."

She doesn't know why but Azzy's words eased up her a lot and she proceeded to summon her soul card and call out her Arcana.

"Everest, wake up."

Her soul card vibrated for a few seconds before a ten-foot-tall ape with a furry coat of white hair landed before her. It was a Yeti with pure ice attribute.

In a normal situation, its appearance alone would scare away the people, especially a grade-3 student like Stephanus. But, after seeing the gigantic Leviathan, a couple of hours during the afternoon break, none of them had much of a reaction.

And with Flora's soul power is only in the early three digits, it didn't impress anyone until Flora attacked the robot with a soul skill right away, instead of warming up.

<strong>"Soul skill: Tundra blast."</strong>

The Yeti let out a roar and blasted an Ice beam towards the robot.

Surprising everyone, the robot made a move that is very similar to the one that Azzy faced earlier.

"Warning. Incoming danger. Activating Divine shield."

The robot conjured its last line of defense, which blocked the incoming ice beam but to everyone's surprise, the entire shield was frozen for a few seconds before it melted on its own and the water fell down on the ground.

"Did you see what I saw?" Gideon exclaimed as he pointed his finger at the sturdy shield.

"Yes." Azzy nodded in response and said, "It looked like the soul skill has the capability to freeze the things in contact. It will become a terrifying weapon in the future."

Other than that one soul skill, her performance wasn't worth remembering. Her techniques were poor, her punches and kicks were too weak, and due to the lack of control, she consumed a lot of recovery cards within five minutes of sparring. But still, it was enough to make a huge impression on this instructor of Exalt realm.

Arley was also as surprised as others too. Since Flora is only nine, he didn't pay much attention to her data before. Now, he felt like he should teach her diligently.

After her, Gideon went and showcased his swordsmanship. Then, it was his partner, grade-7 student, Rain of the Nightingale noble family's turn. Even though his attribute is dark, he is an Assassin.

Maybe, it's because both are melee users, they were paired up or so, Azzy thought.

After them, it was Adam's turn. At first, Azzy wasn't that curious about him as he isn't even at Elite realm yet. However, when he revealed his Arcana, even Azzy was taken aback to see a guitar as Arcana. It's not just Azzy, but everyone also appeared to be stunned by its appearance.

"Seriously? There's such an Arcana spirit?" Every spectator has the same thought as they watched how Adam started to play the music, releasing energy beam attacks.

Usually, every Arcana spirit when materialized, they were in the form of beasts, plants, or ancient weapons like swords, daggers, bows, hammers, etc... None of them ever heard of a guitar like Arcana in their life.

The only one that's looking calm is Arley Blood, who had lived over nine hundred years. In his life, he had witnessed Arcana that look like music accompaniments like flute, zither, violin, etc…

While Adam did develop curiosity in spectators, the results of the spar were much disappointing that even a newly awakened Arcana master like Stephanus was left unimpressed in the end.

But, it isn't Adam's fault. It's just that this class is full of geniuses. And with everyone showcasing extraordinary abilities, and he, on the other hand, couldn't hit the robot even once along with his less mobility, he left a bad impression.

Perhaps, only two people saw him in a different light. One is the instructor and the other is the Reaper. The former thought it might be because of his rare Arcana, Adam didn't receive good guidance until now.

The Reaper on the other hand was looking at the future and thought he would make an interesting company to Azzy.
