Location Sky Blossom City, Fine Gold Sky Blossom Branch, Fine Gold Tower 1, G6 Training Hall.

Under everyone’s gaze, Debra slowly walked towards Skeleton Centaur Knight and his minions while removing her jacket and boots.

As she walked milky white fluid started to pour out of the pores of her palm and sole. The fluid climbed covering her entire body. The layer of milky white fluid covering Debra started to harden forming a modern full-body knight armour exactly similar to the one worn by the Skeleton Centaur Knight.

Seeing Debra walk towards it the skeleton centaur knight walked out of the formation and behind him the skeleton centaur soldiers lined up in a 10×10 formation.

‘Thud!’

When bone armour covered Debra stood in front of it, the skeleton centaur knight and its minions bowed while kneeling in respect.

Debra turned to face the crowd while chanting ‘summon undead mount’.

A 1.7-meter tall skeleton warhorse surfaced above the ground next to her. With a flip, Debra mounted the skeleton warhorse and started to demonstrate all the skills previously performed by the skeleton centaur knight.

Bone Weapon Mastery

Storm Rush

Stampede

Epicentre

Borrow Strike

Leap

Enrage

For the finale, she muttered ‘Undead Minions’

100 E-rank humanoid skeleton foot soldiers in a perfect 10×10 formation equipped with old tattered armour and weapons surfaced above the ground behind her.

Since Debra is a D-rank Card soldier and of the human race, she could only summon E-rank humanoid skeleton foot soldiers.

Even though Skeleton Centaur Knight’s strength has been weakened to D-rank due to Debra’s lacking strength. Skeleton Centaur Knight is still considered a C-rank undead and therefore it can summon D-rank Skeleton Centaur Soldiers.

Both the humanoid skeleton foot soldiers and skeleton centaur soldiers infantry stood next to each other. While the skeleton centaur knight and the skeleton warhorse stood in front of the skeleton centaur soldiers and humanoid skeleton foot soldiers infantry respectively.

Getting off the skeleton mount, Debra stood in between the warhorse and the centaur knight.

Looking at me she and the skeleton army behind her with a hard stomp on the ground in unison bowed and expressed their gratitude while Debra shouted, “Thank You, Master Wyatt!”

…

Debra had almost given up on her career as an adventurer, no guild was willing to recruit her as they considered her finding her fate ingredient as a lost cause because no matter what Debra would not give up on creating her origin card. Which was a gamble with less than 50:50 odds and costed a small fortune to create.

The money for the origin card creation was not a big deal for these guilds but they did not think that Debra was worth it as they could easily hire any other capable D-rank card soldier.

But all this changed a day ago when her childhood friend Susan mentioned the name, Dalton Wyatt to her.

If not for Cindy wanting to test Wyatt’s card creation prowess it is debatable if she would have hired Debra in the first place.

She had given up on her origin card and was satisfied being recruited in the Fine Gold Guards. But her fate surprised her once again and she had a powerful origin card overnight all this was possible due to one person Wyatt.

Because of him, she was recruited in Fine Gold and because of him, she had a powerful origin card that even she could never dream of.

Being treated like trash in society these past few days Debra appreciated her new life and opportunities more and she had one man to thank for all of this, Dalton Wyatt a high schooler.

Right now everything she had was given by Wyatt either directly or indirectly, so all she could do was offer a bow as gratitude.

…

200+ skeleton bowing to me was a majestic sight and all but I did not know how to respond to her theatrical gesture of gratitude.

The whole crowd in the training hall turned their gaze at me, all of a sudden everyone started to notice me now. I wasn’t bothered by their gazes. I looked back at Debra and said, “Summon Soul Link right? So it allows you to use all the abilities of your undead summon. Interesting”

“Yes, Master Wyatt. I can use all the skills of Skeleton Centaur Knight thanks to the skill Summon Soul Link. Not only that we can speak to each other mentally using the link.” Debra respectfully answered me.

I did not know that downloading the artificial beast will to her subconscious would lead to unexpected gains. Looks like I will have to do more research on this part.

…

Summon Soul Link (active) – The user can use the skills of his summon. The user and the summon can communicate with each other using the link.

Additional effect – Summons intelligence grows according to users intelligence stats.

…

Summon undead mount (active) – the exclusive ability of every undead knight to summon an undead mount.

Additional effect – Cavalry Master level

…

Being a half-horse Skeleton Centaur Knight did not require an undead mount but Debra who was equal to an undead knight thanks to summon soul link she could use the skill ‘summon undead mount’.

By now everyone was out of the shock of 200 undead soldiers infantry unit summoned by Debra. An origin card being able to summon 200 undead and providing 8 different rare skills could be considered a mythical grade card. this caused them to envy Debra for having such dumb luck.

After knowing that I had created the card they all looked at me with eyes filled with worship. There was no envy or jealousy or disdain in their eyes because they knew about all the knowledge and hard work required for card creation. For a high schooler to be able to achieve that, they acknowledge me wholeheartedly.

Especially Jaya, she looked at me as if she would swallow me whole. So I chose to distance myself from her, in response she just sneered.

Even Cindy looked at me differently I could tell from her eyes even though her expression remained unchanged.

Debra’s show of power just now had gained her approval of all the trainees in the training ground. They surrounded her and asked her various questions about her origin card and me.

They did not dare to near me as Cindy was standing next to me. Having watched the Skeleton Centaur Knight in action it was time for me to leave.

“Transfer the money to my account. I will be heading home.” Having said that to Cindy I headed towards the elevator I did not wait for her reply. But only to be blocked by Jaya who suddenly appeared in front of me.

“Mr Wyatt you must be really tired after making such a powerful origin card. Why don’t you enjoy our Fine Gold hot spring, it will relieve you of all your stress and fatigue.” Suggested Jaya.

Soaking in hot springs sounds better than a bath at home and I have heard a lot about Fine Gold hot springs, let’s check it out today. So, I agreed, “sure why not.”

Hearing me agree Jaya excitedly called a trainee and had her escort me to the hot springs.

…

“Carla, escort Mr Wyatt to hot springs no.02” Jaya whispered in Carla’s ears.

Hearing Jaya, Carla looked at her wide-eyed as if she heard wrong and said ” but ma’am that spring is..”

“Shh! Just do what I say, I will handle the rest.” Jaya hushed Carla.

Carla hesitated at first but Jaya was her boss’s sister and she could only bite her lips and do as she was ordered to.
