It was hectic for me but I finally managed to assure everyone that I was fine, especially auntie Wyatt she seemed to be blaming herself for everything, but thankfully uncle Wyatt knew how to encourage her.
“Thank you guys for all your care and I really do not remember what transpired in the card room for me to end up unconscious in such comprising position. But if you guys can leave the room for a second I need to talk some things with Elliott. Uncle and auntie Wyatt please.” I pleaded, I just woke up and have been answering and assure them that I am fine again and again. Lots of things have transpired while I was unconscious so I wanted to catch up to perfect my cover story.
“So did you remember me…” Beth confronted me excitedly.
“Sorry, Miss I still do not remember you. You keep calling yourself my friend but you don’t act that way. Now if you are done I would like to talk to Elliott alone, please.” I said sternly, hearing my words Beth’s excitement died down Amy and Pax consoled her as they tugged her out of the room along with others.
Eliza who was quiet all this time suddenly moved and handed me a bunch of notes saying, “These are the contact numbers of some of the card hall Staff, they asked you to contact them when you are free. It seems they liked what they saw. And a heads up, these digits are of both male and female staff since I did not know your type.” Handing me the notes she walked out of the room with a devilish grin. Leaving me feeling violated all over.
“You seem to be quite popular among the Whiteburn family card hall staff.” Said Elliott looking at the stack of notes.
“Please stop! don’t bring that up. Even though I was unconscious I still feel violated thinking about it.” I really do, fuck! If I did not have enough confidence in my size down there I would be facing a whole lot of other mental dilemmas right about now.
“I don’t get it why the hell would you create a card while being naked!” Elliott’s expression seemed genuine enough but I knew better so I stuck with my story, “I really do not remember.”
“Yes, so what are we doing here!” Asked Elliott enquiring why I asked him to stay behind.
“What is the current date and time?” I asked
“25th and 2hrs past midnight. I don’t think you sent everyone out just for this.” Elliot was right, if I wanted to know data and time I could just summon my grimoire for that.
I completed my second origin card yesterday evening at 6 something… so about for 8 hrs, I was unconscious. I wanted to summon my grimoire and check the situation with my origin cards but I was worried if my origin cards would reject each other and battle for supremacy again or even worse, do I still have origin cards.
“What are false relics?” Hearing me Elliott’s expression solidified.
“Boy, you take the cake, Wyatt. why is it that every time I talk to you I end up fearing for my life?” Elliott exaggerated.
“Just answer me!”
“Before that, you answer me. you are graduating high school soon, are you planning on applying for the top 10 universities.”
“No, I don’t plan on applying for the top 10 universities. I am thinking of setting up my business here and attending a college nearby.” I told the truth since I need Elliott’s help to set up my business anyway.
“Are you dumb! Why would you do that? Do you know how many people yearn to enter any one of the 10 universities, even a genius like Eliza was not able to enter the top 10 universities! Heck, it has been 200 years since any citizen of Sky blossom city or its neighbouring cities entered the top 10 universities.” Elliott cried out.
“What’s so special about the top 10 universities?” As nonchalantly.
“Well for starters the answer for what a false relic is there.” Elliott sighed, “I really do not know what a false relic is but it is said that it an easier way to get stronger than an origin card. If you want to know more you can talk to Corey’s grandfather, he possesses a false relic.”
“Wait! That old fool has a powerful unique origin card and a false relic. How strong is he?” Good thing I know his kryptonite and am shameless enough to use it.
“His unique origin card is the false relic, you see false relics become a card after they are placed on a card apprentices origin card slot and enter a monogamous contract with that card apprentice. So, one card apprentice can only have one false relic.” Explained Elliott.
Now that explains why the Soul pupils rejected Calamity human core. But that opens a new can of worms, as to Why mama Wyatt’s grimoire happens to have a false relic? How did she get a false relic?
“You seem to know a lot for someone who said he does not know anything about false relics.”
“I said I don’t know what a false relic is but I know how to use it. Heck, it is every high ranked adventurer’s dream to get his hands on a false relic” beamed Elliott.
“Are you saying there are ways to get false relics?” I asked.
“Yes, there are. Have you heard of pregnant dungeons!”
“A dungeon within a dungeon!”
“Yes, that one! The dungeon within the dungeon is not a dungeon but a tomb of some big shot. The tomb has many traps, grave keepers and rewards similar to a dungeon so many mistake them as a dungeon within a dungeon and call it a pregnant dungeon but its real name is tomb dungeon these types of dungeons are very rare. And they usually have one or two false relics within them.
There are many stories of low-level card apprentices getting a relic in a tomb dungeon and becoming high ranking card apprentices within a few months. Now you know why the top brass dream for a relic.” Elliott empathised.
Did Mama and papa Wyatt find a tomb dungeon and end up becoming a victim of human greed. Whoever prevailed it seems mama Wyatt made sure to hurt them the most by hiding the relic in her grimoire, also securing her son’s future. Unfortunately, young Wyatt was not fortunate enough to reap what his mother painstakingly sowed for him. Wait! Doesn’t that mean there are still dangerous people searching for the relic… And why did they not check mama and papa Wyatt’s grimoires for the relic?
“Anything else!”
“Um… you remember the dungeon calamity seed that I gave you.” Reminded Elliott
“Yes, what about it?” Does he want it back, well too late I used it.
“That is also a kind of false relic.”
“What! And you gave me such a precious gift. Wait, What do you mean by kind of.” Acting ignorant I looked at Elliott with a suspicious gaze.
“Not all false relics are good and increase card apprentice’s strength. Dungeon calamity seed is one of the bad ones and is mostly referred to as a cursed false relic. So don’t even think about getting into a contract with it.” Cautioned Elliott.
“What were you thinking giving me such a thing in the first place?” I asked, I too wanted to know why someone would gift something like that to someone they just met.
“I wasn’t thinking I just wanted to show how much the card you created meant for me. At that moment if I could I would have written my entire JK group shares in your name. Alas, I only had a few soul stones and a cursed false relic on me.” Confessed Elliott. The rules dictate that Elliott, one of the major shareholders of the JK group cannot trade his share without a board meeting.
“It’s every child’s right to have a normal childhood and dream to become a high-level card apprentice but I could have neither.
Since birth, I was robbed of a normal childhood and after contracting a grimoire I was rodded of any future as a high-level card apprentice.
Though the origin card you created cannot chance my childhood and past it made sure I could pursue my dream of becoming a high-level card apprentice now. It meant the world to me.” Elliott poured his feelings out.
“Do not worry about it. I destroyed the dungeon calamity seed.” I said casually.
“You don’t have to lie to make me feel better, Wyatt.” Elliott did not believe my words and misunderstood my intentions.
“Please don’t misunderstand I am not lying, I did destroy the dungeon calamity seed.” I assured him.
“You are telling me, the problem which even the greatest minds of the top 10 universities could not solve you solved it.”
“Yes”
“You are telling me, the undying monster seed titled as Calamity and hailed as immortal and indestructible was destroyed by you.”
“Yes!”
“Unbelievable!”
