My Soul card is a Reaper

Gideon's statement changed the facial expressions of Snivy and Claire for a moment. Both of them cursed him in their hearts for making them look weak now.

Even they wanted to show off all of their skills to prove their worthiness but getting into WAMO is too important for these girls that they cannot gamble on the chances.

For Snivy, who was born in a normal middle-class family to commoner parents, her future career is important. This is why she fell into a dilemma when those scouts gave various offers. As for Claire, she just wants to spend her future with Azzy.

Although for different reasons, it concerns their futures. So, as soon as they take a look at each other faces, Snivy and Claire immediately knew what they are going to pick.

Without having any conversation, they just nodded together and a duo has been formed.

Meanwhile, Gideon summoned his lightning sword. Ramiel crossed his arms to the back.

"The rules are the same. Five minutes tops. Use everything you have, Gideon. Good luck."

"Good luck." Watching it from the audience section, Azzy mumbled to himself.

"Say, will he be able to do it?" Barbara who sat beside Azzy asked him. Since both are her family, she was looking forward to the results.

"He's the weakest out of all the contenders, junior sister. If Vice president Crescent was being impartial with his own student, then, the possibility is too less." Vann who sat on her other side answered in place of Azzy.

"I don't know what kind of strength you define as strong or weak but it isn't the stronger person that wins the battle, Vann." Azzy got ticked off because of the comment. "The one who wins the battle is called a stronger person and the one who gets defeated is called weak."

While he commented in his indifferent tone, he was cold inside. The one who was sitting near to him is a beast that must be killed at all costs.

Vann didn't refute Azzy's statement and just turned his attention towards the arena. For him, it reminded him of how he was being soundly defeated by Leah in the finals contrary to his expectations.

Gideon's test started.

<strong>"Activate, Skill card: Thunder Steps."</strong>

Gideon activated his favorite skill card. As soon as the card disappears, everyone saw lightning sparks on his legs. He turned blurry to most of the spectators the moment he dashed towards his opponent.

Pouring soul energy into the sword, he started aggressive attacks on Ramiel. Azzy saw dozens of attacks on Ramiel. After concentrating for a while, Barbara rubbed her eyes, "I feel dizzy… Gideon got even faster."

Azzy nodded in response.

For a whole three minutes, Gideon was relentlessly attacking from all sides with everything he got but Ramiel wasn't budging in the least. He was just standing like a wall, blocking all the attacks with his bare arms, forcing Gideon to increase speed even further.

At the fourth minute, Ramiel made his first move by blocking the sword with one arm and throwing a punch at Gideon's chest.

Just as it was about to land on Gideon, the latter suddenly jumped high, evading the attack, and slashed at his Master's shoulder.

This slash was different compared to the previous ones. Everyone saw blue Crescent-shaped energy which is quite sharp. But, Ramiel was even faster. He caught it at the last moment and crushed it with brute force.

"It didn't work?" Gideon got distracted for a moment.

Before he came to his senses, a powerful kick was planted in his abdomen.

Gideon flew away for more than a hundred meters and crashed on the wall.

*Cough* Cough*

Gideon slowly stood up on his feet, grabbing his stomach.

"Your swordsmanship is indeed good but you have two issues. One, you lack the raw strength, Two, you focused too much on your swordsmanship and forgot about your attribute. Do you what is the greatest gift of attribute?" Suddenly, as Ramiel went into teaching mode, Gideon stopped in his tracks and pondered about it.

Most of the spectators who still don't know that Gideon is the student of this peak-rank-8 expert wondered why Ramiel is doing this when he didn't do the same thing with the other participants.

Is he being partial? The audience had the reason to suspect it.

As there isn't much time left, Ramiel tried to give him a hint, "Earthquakes, Tsunamis, lightning strikes, tornados, Volcano eruptions, what is the common occurrence in these natural disasters except for the casualties and economic losses they cause for victims?"

Realization dawned upon Gideon. "Billions of joules of energy will be discharged from them…"

"That's right. It is called the attribute energy." Ramiel gave a nod and explained, "One of the inborn talents of the true children of heaven is that all of them can add the properties of attribute even in normal attacks without much effort. Others have to train hard to achieve it. Unless you tap into attribute energy, it is impossible for you to even move me from this spot."

"Anyway," looking at his pocket watch, he then said, "you still have a little more than 90 seconds left. Now, do what you can do…"

"Is he trying to discourage Gideon or giving a lesson?" Barbara didn't understand what's going on inside Ramiel's mind.

Vann glanced at Azzy, waiting for his opinion.

"He's telling Gideon to use the soul skills and skill cards." Leah who sat on Azzy's other side answered her in place of Azzy, this time. After remembering something, she added, "but, he's only at the beginner stage of Elite realm. There's no way it would work. It is too weak."

"Not if he uses our clan techniques as a combo." Azzy didn't even get to comment on her statement before Barbara pitched in and immediately, close her mouth in realization.

Azzy really felt the urge to slap her head for being a blabbermouth. Vann didn't care about her tongue slip. However, Leah, who has complete information on Gideon, fell into thoughts.

Before she expressed her suspicion, Azzy quickly covered, "Gideon is his disciple."

"I see…" Leah understood what Azzy implied. She misunderstood that Gideon might be Ramiel's disciple for a long time by now. Since Gideon is out of her radar, she didn't think of the matter too deep and focused on the battle.

It isn't hard for a child with 140 above IQ to figure out the meaning behind Ramiel's sentence. And he even went above Leah's thinking.

Dashing towards Ramiel, he once again continued to strike him one after another like before but with more speed. The spectators shook their heads in disappointment. Some of them felt pity for Ramiel who even went ahead and tried to help out this four-eyed teenager.

Even Leah thought Gideon might have been given up the test. Soon, the battle entered the fifth minute with only 20 seconds remaining.

It was then, a smile appeared on Gideon. "Good, the conditions are perfect." He then, jumped as high as he can and raised his sword above his head.

Looking down from more than a hundred meters above the ground, Gideon released three soul skills and a skill card simultaneously, to unleash a combo attack along with the finishing Crescent slash.

<strong>"Soul skill: Wrath of the Lightning Dragon"</strong>

Lightning energy descended from the clouds in the form of a wingless and limbless dragon.

<strong>"Skill card: Water Beam"</strong>

Huge volumes of water gushed out of the skill card at a rapid speed.

<strong>"Soul skill: Trident of Lightning"</strong>

And finally, a ten-meter huge Trident made of lightning energy appeared above Gideon's head. It was Gideon's fifth soul skill which was unknown to the public as he just entered the Elite realm.

Surprising everyone, Gideon pointed the skill card toward the sky and unleashed the water beam while also concentrated on moving the Trident in the same direction.

As the lightning dragon was passing through the water beam, Gideon's soul energy acted as a medium to transform it into a giant lightning-water dragon.

A part of the stadium was covered by a huge shadow for a moment. A Giant wingless Dragon with only two front limbs was seen floating in the sky. It has the trident in its grip.

*Roar*

It raised its head to roar at the heavens.

<strong>"Soul skill: ten thousand volts shock"        </strong>

Meanwhile, the lightning sword discharged a huge amount of electricity that merged with the crescent energy attack to form a circular disk with lightning energy dancing over it.

As the circular disk collided with Ramiel's palms, the Lightning-water Dragon descended like a flash and tried to pierce Ramiel's back at the same time.
