The Field Marshal then, turned to look at Marcy was surrounded by Diana, Cindy, and a few other people. She made her way to Marcy, taking out a card from her grimoire, she extended it to Marcy saying, "Girl, I have no more use for this card. Take it, it will help you." "No, Senior, you have already done enough for me," Marcy rejected, feeling burdened. First the elixir and now an A-rank card, she felt that if she took the card then she would owe the Elder too much and feared that she would not be able to repay her. "Little Girl, just think of it as my investment in you. Use it to pay me back what you owe when you are strong enough," the Field Marshal added knowing Marcy would not take the card if she did not put it that way. Diana and Cindy who were aware of the Field Marshal's identity signaled Marcy to accept the card. Feeling pressured, Marcy took the card saying, "Senior, I will not let your investment in me go to waste." Equipping the card given by the Field Marshal, Marcy went through its card info: [Card Name: Pyrokinesis

"Senior, this card is too precious—" Marcy was shocked reading the card info, though it had only been a few minutes since she became a card apprentice, she was used to discussing about card apprentices and cards since she was little so she was aware how costly A-rank skill cards were especially the elemental skill cards. However, Marcy still had no idea just really how precious the card was. The card the Elder gave to her was not something she could buy in the market as it was too precious to be sold and could only be created by high-level card creationists with a lot of experience. Such cards would rarely appear in the auction. Even if they did they would be worth more than regular AA or S rank cards. Even though Marcy had no idea how precious the card was, she knew it was more than she could owe, but before she could return it to the elder, the elder interrupted her sternly saying, "That card is nothing compared to the elixir you drank. If you plan to replay me just use it, grow strong, and come find me." While saying that the Field Marshal signaled Diana and Cindy, and they nodded understanding her intent to have them guide Marcy for the time being. Marcy, unaware of all of this, was in a predicament, as unknowingly she owed more than she was worth. She was indebted to Wyatt and the unknown elder. Others in her place would be too busy savouring the stroke of fortune upon them but she was busy worrying that she was indebted to too many people. "Little Girl, don't tell me you plan to dine and dash," the Field Marshal said trying to provoke Marcy. Previously the Field Marshal wanted to throw Marcy in the Southern Watch after she became a legal adult, but now she did not want to reveal Marcy to the rest of the world. As her traits and physique were too tempting, especially the physique Gifted Lineage, so she wanted to keep her under her protection until she was strong enough to survive in the way beyond. Planning to train Marcy just like how her father trained her. "No, Senior, I did not mean that—" Marcy tried to explain from her end but the Field Marshal interrupted her and said, "Little girl, with your current strength you can never repay me. With that card, you have some hope. Use it to grow strong. When you are strong enough I will come to you to collect the debt. Got it?" "Yes," Marcy firmly nodded. The foolish girl only cared about repaying her debt but never once stopped to consider the hardship she would have to go through as hardship was not new to her, but being cared for was. How could she not understand what the Elder was doing? It was too obvious. Therefore, she did not hesitate to agree to the Elder's proposal. "Good, now go meet your sister and bother they should be worried about you," the Field Marshal nodded and instructed Marcy, having sensed the kids' worry for their sister through her intent sense. "Thank you, Senior," Marcy bowed to the Field Marshal in gratitude, then before leaving she headed to Wyatt, who was struggling to explain to Aurelia that he could not just grant her traits and physique because she asked him as he was not some sort of magician, to express her heartfelt gratitude to him. "Master Wyatt, thank you for everything. This life is yours, if you demand it I will hand it over." ...
