'How did I do it? Does it matter?' Wyatt asked the Field Marshal, not receiving a reply he shook his insect head and said, 'I will tell you later.'
'Fine, but show me Clown Mask so that I can conclude the wager and take responsibility for my foolishness,' the Field Marshal's voice did not have drive. To Wyatt, it felt like he was talking to Hive AI but not a living person. Understanding that Field Marshal must be devastated by the turn of events, Wyatt nodded and said, 'Morph your appearance and join me for breakfast. Clown Mask will also be joining us there.'
'Sure,' The Field Marshal wanted to reject Wyatt's invitation but hearing Clown Mask would be there she decided to descend from the clouds for a change and check if it was truly Clown Mask who would be joining them from up close. Though she agreed she had lost the wager, without knowing how she lost there was a tiny shiver of hope in her heart that she still had hope of winning or annulling the wager as Wyatt might be resorting to some sort of trickery that he learned from the Dark Realm.
Having made sure the orphanage compound was clear of all threats using his soul pupils, Wyatt headed to the orphanage dining hall where everyone was waiting for him to join them for breakfast. Upon arrival, Wyatt scanned the crowd with his Soul pupils to make sure that none of them was hiding some surprise and only when he was sure that it was safe for him to reveal himself, Wyatt morphed into his original form with a causal attire on.
The causal attire that Wyatt was wearing was the product of his soul energy manipulation and myriad devil transformation skills. Wyatt has become proficient with these skills so much so that he can now control his soul energy to make soul energy constructs such as clothes and shoes. Then, to give them a human touch he would use the myriad devil transformation skills on them to morph them into regular clothes.
The Myriad Devil transformation allowed Wyatt to transform into animate or inanimate objects, the soul energy construct was a part of him so morphing them into regular clothes was within the limits of the Myriad Devil transformation skill.
"Wyatt!" Cortney exclaimed seeing Wyatt suddenly appear next to her when she was watching over Bloodette playing with the kids in using her clone while her real body was still in Cortney's innate blood-rule rune.
"Sorry, I got delayed. The kids had something to eat right," Wyatt apologized for the delay.
"Don't worry, they had chocolate milk as they waited for your arrival. Now that you are here we can commence with The Breakfast. But first I have to introduce you to the person who made all this possible," Cortney planned to introduce Wyatt to the orphanage Headmaster before they began breakfast.
Honestly, they had a welcome ceremony with kids' performance and everything planned and ready to welcome Wyatt to the orphanage but he came so late that they did not have the time for all that. Now at the least, Cortney could take this opportunity to introduce Wyatt to one of the most important people in her life, the orphanage headmaster.
However, just when Cortney was about to do that a plain-
looking old woman appeared behind Wyatt, causing her to ask in surprise, "Who is this?" It was the Field Marshal, she had taken Wyatt's advice to morph her appearance before joining him for breakfast. Before the Field Marshal or Wyatt could answer, chaos descended.
Seeing Wyatt suddenly appear out of thin air, the employees who were either playing with kids or talking with their colleagues immediately stopped what they were doing and then looked at Wyatt in reverence, some even bowed a little bit. Seeing the adults around them act odd, the kids paused and followed their line of sight to find Wyatt. Then the chaos ensued as they all rushed at him exclaiming, "Wyatt!"
Soon the crowd of kids surrounded Wyatt, Cortney tried her best to control the kids but none would heed her as in their minds she was one of them and not a grown-up. Seeing the mob of cute little children surrounding them without regard for their fellow kids, Wyatt was worried they would hurt themselves, so he mobilized this celestial force to gently carry all 178 of them into the air. Soon the dining hall was filled with floating kids gasping in shock which soon turned into laughter as they saw their friends floating around them like balloons.
178 would be a huge number for any orphanage back on earth but here it was not high besides the older kids had yet to join them.
While carefully floating the kids watching out for the ceiling, Wyatt monitored their hearts to ensure none was having a panic attack or something and were genuinely enjoying the lift.
"Wyatt, me too, me too," Bloodette rushed to Wyatt's side demanding him to lift her like the rest of the kids, feeling let out. Wyatt looked at her in confusion and asked, "Can't you fly?"
"This is just a clone, my abilities in this form are limited. Send me toward Daisy and Brian," Bloodette responded, instructing Wyatt to send her to her friends.
Recalling the two kids Bloodette was playing with earlier, Wyatt covered her clone with the celestial force and sent her next to them. Seeing the kids were enjoying the ride and had forgotten about him, he glanced around the room, surprised to find that the staff looked at the kids enviously. Wyatt shook his head not knowing whether to laugh or cry, only to hear the Field Marshal ask, "How are you doing it? How are you able to borrow the celestial force of the world with ease consider your realm?"
"Tell you what, make a list of things you want to ask me about, now that you are one of my own, I will answer them all. Trust me, Field Marshal Heatsend, I want my people to be the best. That is, prepare to become the strongest in the world."
