My Soul card is a Reaper -
Chapter 540 The Great Wolf Is Here For Revenge
"Well, the original thing that I planned to talk to you about has been sorted. Snivy explained me on the way about everything," said Flora. In order to keep his mission a secret, she didn't go into details and kept her conversation simple.
"However, unlike Snivy, I don't have any obligations to help you for free. I refuse to cooperate unless you do something for me in return. A favor for a favor," Flora was clear with her decision.
Snivy was taken aback for a moment. She almost raised her voice as she spoke, "Hey, that's not what we agreed upon."
Flora shrugged her shoulders, "well, I suddenly remembered something important. So, I thought I might as well take this opportunity to suit my purpose."
Meanwhile, Azzy frowned at her statement but remembering what happened earlier due to the lack of control over his emotions, he kept his calmness and tried to deal with it in peace. "Alright, what do you want from me?"
Flora replied, "You see, my family kept on torturing me by arranging blind dates. I want you to act as my boyfriend and meet my sister for lunch or dinner. Just once would do. It will get a couple of years for me and I will say that we broke up later on."
"What kind of bullsh*t is that?" Snivy muttered under her breath as he stared at her friend.
Meanwhile, Azzy stared at her while thinking about it. "A favor for a favor, huh? Sounds plausible but what if it is a trap? Forget it. Even if it is a fake, I can't do that to Claire."
He quickly thought of an excuse and said, "It is not recommended. Our looks don't match. Your sister won't believe you."
"Hmm, you forgot who my sister was?" Flora reminded him of her sister's identity. Matilda was his deputy when he ran as the president of the Disciplinary Committee. It was her existence, which made him choose Flora as his mentee.
Azzy thought of another excuse and said, "There are still problems. I won't take such a step without asking my girlfriend. She won't agree to it."
As if Flora was already thought of that problem too, she immediately countered him, "She doesn't need to know. I will purchase an appearance-changing skill card from the card store, although it will only work for an hour or so. You don't even need to worry about your teenage appearance either."
"Damn, this girl is hell-bent on making him her fake boyfriend," thought Snivy before something clicked in her mind. "Don't tell me she has fallen for him or something?"
Snivy was amused and looked forward to seeing where this goes.
Meanwhile, Azzy felt uncomfortable. After much thinking, he gave a nod, "Fine, but it is just one time and no more. And also, I need my 1.8 million credits before we proceed with the deal. I paid that money to cover up your bill."
"You drank that much?" Snivy was taken aback by the amount while Flora looked away as she replied, "Consider it as my fee to assist you with the other thing. This favor is just for keeping my mouth shut."
"You brat…" Azzy was ticked by her response but he took deep breaths and calmed down. In the end, he let out a sigh, "Forget it. That kind of money isn't much."
"Ho! You seemed quite rich. Damn, I should have used the favor to ask for more money." Flora couldn't help herself but jokingly comment about it.
Azzy: "…"

The next day;
Over the entire morning, the topic of Raydon's class transfer was largely discussed by everyone including the staff members and students. Naturally, the rumors spread.
Some say that he fell in love with a girl from 10-B. Some say that he fought with his classmates and was forced to transfer. Some girls who love to read BL novels gossiped about a secret relationship between Gary/Azzy and Raydon. This is the reason why he came to the school and why they argued in the class.
And those who are interested in triangle love stories spread the rumor that Raydon is in a secret relationship with teacher Flora and the appearance of Gary, Flora's-ex in her life made him frantic. That is why he purposely transferred to 10-B and challenged teacher Gary during the practical combat class.
Whatever ridiculous rumors they might be, Azzy turned a deaf ear to them, and since, no one had the guts to say that to him (except for Serestia), he was fine with it.
Around 4:30 p.m. in the evening, all the students of 10-B were gathered at the portal point. There is no one to look after them except for Azzy.
Since they were only going to a level-2 region and no influential kid except for Raydon is participating in this class, the principal and the vice principal also gave their permission.
After paying 24000 credits for the transfer (500 credits per each), the guardians there transported all of them to the portal point located inside Nlethemar city.
There are two types of portal points. One type of portal point is built and managed by nations and kingdoms on the outskirts of every Arcana City. These world portal points were used to travel from Gaia to Arcana World and vice versa. Of course, one can also travel to other world-portal points.
Another type exists within the city. These portal points are used by people to travel from one city to another within the Arcana world. And to enter the city, one would have to pay money (depending on the city and the city lord. Some are expensive and some are even free).
Azzy used the second one. Hence, he would only have to pay for the transport costs. Of course, it also means that he would have to pay the entrance fee while returning.
At the moment, the fee to enter Nlethemar City was about 2250 credits. Combined together, he will have to pay 108,000 credits. It is equivalent to the monthly salary of a teacher at Emerald Academy. There's a reason why the academies rarely conduct trips and prioritize giving missions to the students to go at their own expense.
It might not be much for someone like him, but why would he waste such money?
To escape such a fee, he planned to use the world portal point located outside the Nlethemar to travel to the world portal point located outside of the Emerald City.
Students and teachers of Emerald Academy don't require paying an entrance fee for entering Emerald City as it is considered their second home.
Never in the world did he expect such a decision would bring tremendous change in him.
It was around 6 o'clock in the evening.
After allowing the students to battle against rank-3 beasts without the support of their Arcana in the hopes of improving their basics, Azzy brought back the students with him.
As he planned earlier, instead of entering Nlethemar City, he used the world portal to travel to the outskirts of Emerald City.
Leading the group of 47 students, Azzy was walking toward the entrance. He could see the towering walls of the city with a large gate in the middle. The guards are on the side.
Turning his head to look at the students, he said, "Alright students, you know the drill. Take out your IDs and keep with…"
Azzy didn't finish his sentence and abruptly turn his head to look at the surroundings as the Reaper's words echoed in his head, "Something is wrong. I sense a powerful force is watching you."
Raydon sensed something is wrong as he watched Azzy, "What happened?" He asked.
Azzy didn't answer him and activated his aura sensing to scan the surroundings but he found nothing suspicious.
Just as he was about to converse with the Reaper, he saw the sky change red all of a sudden, and the guards, the towering walls and the city that lies behind it, the portal points, everything has disappeared from his view.
"What's going on?" screamed a girl from the crowd. Some of the students also appeared to be slightly scared as thunders were rumbling in the sky very loudly.
Raydon, Ace, and a few students turned serious and instinctively summoned their Arcana.
It was then a cackle of laughter was heard in the surroundings, followed by the words, "Welcome to my domain, the slayer of Loren."
"Loren?" In an instant, as a certain memory appeared in Azzy's head where he killed a werewolf in the past timeline, the Reaper spoke in a serious tone, "It's the Fenrir, Azrael."
"Fenrir?" As Azzy wondered out loud, a wolf of ordinary size but with gray and white fur appeared a few meters away from everyone.
It spoke in a human tongue, "Bingo, although no points for you."
