My Soul card is a Reaper

In the audience stand, several students were discussing various things as the match was going nowhere.

Of them, two rivals of tenth grade but from different classes were betting on the match as the tornado was destroyed in a clever manner.

Shaun: Mr. Gary is going to win for sure, Symonds.

Symonds: Nope, there's still a lot of time. Ms. Snivy can still turn this game around, Shaun.

Shaun: Since you are so confident, would you like to make a bet as they did?

Symonds: 1 million credits.

Shaun: Money is not interesting.

Symonds: What do you suggest?

Shaun: I don't know… how about you arrange a blind date with your sis?

Symonds: How dare you?

Shaun: I'll help you woo my sis to make her go on a prom date with you.

Symonds: Really? I'm tempted but…

Shaun and Symonds were rivals since their childhood with each one having a crush on the other's younger sister. Surprisingly, Shaun and his sister Evie are twins. And Symonds and his sister Clara are twins too.

Perhaps, the only stark difference here is that Symonds had a good relationship with his sister while Shaun has a cat-and-mouse relationship with his sibling.

Shaun was confident that he will win the bet and Symonds was slightly in doubt after seeing their combat instructor couldn't lay a finger on her opponent for the past 40 minutes.

It was at that moment Snivy made her move by activating a 7-star skill card.

As the skill card glowed, she didn't place it on her chest but instead stick it to the hammer.

The hammer freed itself from Snivy's grip and started floating in the air. Azzy calmly observed it. He wanted to know what his high school friend is up to.

Soon, the hammer turned into a clone of Snivy, looking completely identical to her, from the outside and inside. Even their soul realm appeared the same. Both of them looked like 7-star Arcana Masters.

Almost every spectator failed to spot who the real Snivy is.

However, Azzy managed to distinguish them by realizing the simple fact that one of them has the aura of life while the other doesn't have any life force.

Yet, he didn't speak anything and let her resume the battle.

As both of the women charged toward him to engage in close combat at the same time, Azzy thought of something and let out a smile, "let's have fun."

Snivy and her clone reached Azzy and threw punches and kicks simultaneously from different sides. Azzy barely dodged her attacks and tried to get away.

It heavily gave off an impression that Azzy was facing a struggle this time because of the lack of space compared to earlier. Seeing that, Symonds agreed to the wager set by Shaun.

Everyone thought that an attack would land on him if he were just half a second or a second late.

At first, it did appear like Snivy could win this battle but then as five minutes passed, and then ten minutes passed, the spectators as well as Snivy felt something was wrong.

How could Azzy escape narrowly every single time? A lot of people who were hoping for Snivy's win were frustrated. This battle doesn't need him to get knocked down. All it needs is one good punch to anywhere on his body.

Another 5 minutes later, the time is up and the clone turned back into a large hammer, making Snivy realize the fact that her opponent is toying around with her.

After battling him nearly for 53 minutes, she finally understood that she'll lose the battle she challenged and then lose her reputation among the students. It means kids stop fearing her. And that very thought forced a straightforward person like her to opt for an underhanded tactic.

Landing on the ground, she dismissed her Arcana and slowly started to walk forward.

"You know, I used to be a lieutenant-ranked officer of WAMO's General forces. There, I learned that there are two types of people in the world, one who breaks the rules and the other who follows them. And quite often, like 99% of the time, the first type of people always ended up as criminals at some point.

But, there is another type of people. The ones who make the rules. These people would want to force their views onto others. Whether they are heroes or villains, rulers or citizens, teachers or students, in a way, they are psychopaths."

Azzy didn't know what she was getting to but he decided to listen to her to the end and slowly landed on the ground.

Snivy continued, "You came here and make your own rules and flaunt your strength against children on your very first day.

I challenged you to force you to change your ways but it appeared that you are stronger, far stronger than me, well, atleast regarding our feet movements. Your speed is higher than my maximum speed. Your reflexes are top notch and you are certainly smart."

By this time, she was just a couple of meters away from Azzy. Taking a few steps forward, she raised her head to look straight into his eyes and said, "However you are, people like you who abuse their authority and strength aren't fit to teach students as they will either do wrong things and become criminals or become cowards and become useless to the society.

That is why I won't mind steeping low to stop you right…" Snivy suddenly expelled all of her soul energy from her soul orb before it was expelled from her body. "Now," she roared.

A gush of energy struck Azzy and he was pushed back for a few meters and fell onto the ground with a look of surprise on his face.

"Waaaa"

Students of a certain section (class 10-A) erupted in cheers as the attack successfully landed on Azzy. Class 10-B students, on the other hand, were disappointed.

Symonds: Yes, I win. You will have to help me win your sister for a prom date.

Shaun grunted as he hung his head down, "fine."

The Principal thought it was a pity and a few other teachers thought that the new student shot himself in the leg by being too arrogant. Flora just stared at them, not knowing how to react.

Looking coldly at Azzy who was sitting on the ground, Snivy then said, "It looks like you are far stronger than I expected. But either way, you lost. Now, be a man and keep your promise."

"Hahahaha, you deserved this kid for underestimating a woman's resolve." The Reaper laughed at him.

Azzy was ashamed a little bit but realizing that his opponent used an underhanded tactic, he made his decision and spoke, "Earlier you said that you are someone who follows the rules but in the end, you ended up being the one to break the rules for a win."

Snivy snorted in response, "Hmpf, in a war against evil, breaking the rules is also considered righteous."

"So, you believe in the concept of a greater good, huh? Didn't expect that," said Azzy as he rose to his feet. "I was slightly disappointed."

"Whatever." As Snivy looked away in the direction of the vice principal, indicating him to announce the end of the battle, Azzy then raised his hand. An Hourglass appeared.

"What are you doing?" Snivy furrowed her brows, wondering whether he planned to attack or something. At the same time, she couldn't help but take a glance at the hourglass.

Azzy replied as he titled it upside down, "Since you know that I'm the type to make the rules, then, I need to be thorough with it. Shouldn't I?"

"Soul skill: Rewind."
