    Location- Card World, Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City


    As Wyatt headed out of the orphanage to greet the people who were creating a ruckus in the Sky Blossom city air space, the Field Marshal followed him saying, "I can send them on their way if you don''t want to meet them." "No, let us give the people what they came for, the Hope of the Southern region," Wyatt said as he exited the lobby. Walking into the orphanage garden he added, "It seems your video is a hit among young people, to thinking they would all rush over here leaving everything else." before shooting into the sky at max speed. "No no, it was your speech ''You are the hope of South,'' it struck a chord with them," the Field Marshal said as she followed behind Wyatt with ease. Aurelia summoned a hoverboard and followed the Field Marshal and Wyatt, unable to keep up to their speed in her hoverboard she lost sight of them in a mere second. Yet, thanks to her new trait ''prodigious soul'' she could feel the numerous strong presences wildly emitting their soul signature in the air space and head toward them thinking they must be the people Wyatt was talking about. "Need a lift?" Diana asked as she and Cindy quickly overtook Aurelia''s hoverboard in the gship of her phantom fleet origin card. "Awesome!" Aurelia eximed, she didn''t hesitate to jump on Diana''s phantom ship thanking her for the lift and adding, "Hurry, I don''t want to miss the show." "It seems they are by the edge of the void, will the phantom ship be able to fly at that height?" Cindy asked Diana with a frow learning the location their boss was headed. "The phantom ship will consume a lot of soul energy to fly at that height but don''t worry I have stocked up on enough mid-grade and high-grade soul jades just for asions such as these," Diana informed, as her gship suddenly picked up speed and gained altitude. "By the edge of the void, that means they are not here to simply meet the ''Hope of the South'' as the boss made it sound," Aurelia added, staring into the sky. Even though it was clear sky, Aurelia could not spot a single figure, she could see nothing but asional white clouds in the blue sky. If not for her soul warning her that there were powerful presences in the sky she would doubt that there were numerous figures in the Sky Blossom City''s air space. "Let us head there first before jumping to any conclusion," Diana said as the phantom ship continued to gain altitude at an incredible speed for an origin card of a Card Lord. This was because Diana was burning a lot of mid-grade soul jades to get to their destination as fast as possible. "Oh my goodness, Jaya!" Cindy suddenly yelled as she stared at her grimoire in sheer shock. "What happened?" Diana asked as she peeped into Cindy''s grimoire to find a video of bloody Jaya engaging in aerialbat. Noticing that the video was being streamed live, she could not help but exim, "What is she doing up there? Shouldn''t she be behind closed doors forging her ego gem?" "She can''t even react to the opponent''s attacks. Sigh, I had warned her on multiple asions that her extraordinary might was useless if she did not have the proper training and skills to use it. Still, she did not correct her ways. Sigh, losing to me was not enough now she is losing to some spoiled brat from the Southern capital— This is so embarrassing. Fuck! Look at those stupidments," Aurelia kept sighing and criticizing Jaya. But it was worth noticing that Aurelia who gained extraordinary strength from her physique felt Jaya''s physical prowess was extraordinary.


    Then, ignoring Diana and Cindy''s stare, Aurelia began to retort the onlinements on the live stream with gusto: "Hey, buddy, she is the weakling and misfit of our organization winning against her means nothing." "Your parents must be proud to know you can use these vulgar words." "If they are struggling this much to defeat our weakling then, they are overestimating themselves to say they will defeat Bright Lions." "Come to the Sky Blossom City and try saying that to my face."


    "You are crazy and your family is crazy." "Even in your dreams, you can''t defeat us with that level of strength."


    "You are a virgin." "Up yours, buddy"


    "Your mom…" Aurelia tried to hold her ground in thement section, but by the time she posted onement, thousands ofments targeting her would be posted. Finding herself outnumbered, she proceeded to call on the members of Bright Lions to help her deal withizens writing infuriatingments about Fine Gold and all other rted organizations. These people were so hateful and vulgar that after a fewments, even she started to swear at them and their families. Seeing them call her attention whore was her tipping point.


    None of theizens dared toment on Wyatt, the Southern Hope. Even if they envied him and had opinions about him, they did not dare to voice them as no matter what he was the ''Hope of the South'' agreed by the Southern Royal family and the Southerners. Insulting him would be the same as insulting the Southern Royal family and the Southerners who had elected him for that title. Therefore, they targeted and focused on the people around Wyatt instead. Anna''s mother might have conferred the title ''Hope of the Southern Region'' to Wyatt using his achievements at such a young age to prove his worthiness to carry the title, but she was only able to convince the average public not the rich and the powerful. The average public was simple-minded and easy to sway but the rich and powerful hadplex thoughts and they all had their own opinions. However, none dared to voice their opinion as they did not want to be targeted by Anna''s mother. After all, going against her in the Southern region was equal to attempting suicide. Still, there were always calves in the mountain that were not afraid of the tiger. "Can this thing go any faster?" Aurelia asked Diana in impatience. Losing to the hatefulizens on the grimoirework, Aurelia could not wait to go to the edge of the void and beat the shit out of those stuck-up snobs. "Hey, I am going as fast as I can here," Diana snapped back at Aurelia. This must be the tenth time Aurelia rushed her in the past minute. She was a human and her patients also had limits. "Aurelia answer me this, how do you n to fight them in at the edge of the void if you can''t even fly?" Cindy reminded Aurelia. "I have my hoverboard," Aurelia answered immediately


    "Sure, if you want to plunge to your death your hoverboard is a good choice," Cindy said sarcastically hinting to Aurelia that there was a limit to the height at which her hoverboard could fly.


    "No, if Jaya can do it I too can," Aurelia said feeling if Jaya could fly by the edge of the void it would not be hard for her hoverboard to fly at that height. Not to mention, Aurelia did not want to be outdone by Jaya. Even though Jaya was losing devastatingly, she was in the game and Aurelia wasn''t.


    "Your teachers must adore your genius-level intellect," Cindy mocked Aurelia listening to her dumb argument. "Sigh, Cindy leave her alone. She still has a long way to go," Diana sighed defending Aurelia against Cindy. It was not a secret though Aurelia was a quick learner she was not that bright. So, Diana was in awe of Aurelia''s mother who had done a good job teaching her about judging people and politics. Seeing Aurelia in action against the Field Marshal in the gymnasium Diana and Cindy were in awe, but listening to her say she nned to fight at the edge of the void on her hoverboard they could not shake their head in dismay wondering how she could not know something so basic. "Well, not every teenager can be like the boss. Otherwise, our existence would be obsolete," Cindy gave up teasing Aurelia, recalling that Aurelia had been a little dumb since she met her. She believed it was one of Aurelia''s charms that made people not feel threatened by her by taking their minds off her other outstanding qualities. "Are you guys calling me dumb?" Aurelia asked Diana and Cindy with a frown. "We would never, honey. You are smart and quick on your feetpared to many we know but we feel that you need to focus on your studies a little bit more," Diana did not just say this to console Aurelia, she honestly felt that way about Aurelia. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After all, not just any teenager could stand tall under the Field Marshal''s intent pressure. Diana, herself, had almost been manipted by the Field Marshal into going against her boss''s orders. But Aurelia held her own and assisted Wyatt against the Field Marshal. Aurelia had her strengths and weaknesses. She was still young, with her age and experiences her weakness would only decrease and her strengths would increase. ..
