“I did not rebirth or reincarnate as you think…” Corey’s expression was tense as if she was thinking too hard to come up with words to describe her situation but none she knew could do the trick.
“Well, what is it? Did you die in another world and suddenly woke up occupying your current body. That is called a transmigrator, to pass at death from one body or being to another. Do these words explain your experience?.” I decided to help Corey by recounting what I had experienced as a transmigrator.
“No! I did not die, I was born Corey Bright and I am Corey Bright!” Corey started spiralling, her shout sounded more like she was reminding herself that she was Corey. It was like seeing an amnesia patient suffering from an identity crisis.
“Okay, okay. Calm down and take deep breaths. Just tell me what you know.” Seeing Corey spiral I could only think that her soul transmigration was not smooth as mine. Instead of pressing her to speak in detail, I asked her to tell me what comes to her mind.
“First of all, I am Corey Bright. Get that through the thick head of yours. I did not die and nobody occupied my body. capeesh?” Corey intimidatingly asserted as her eyes glowed bright red.
“Sure, whatever you say.” Seeing the red glow in Corey’s glare grow stronger I added, ” you are Corey.” I could literally slap her to death but I had to endure to get some answers.
“I am not a transmigrator for sure. It’s my origin card, ReLife. It has a weird ability that allows me to relive my past life memories or more like grants access to my past life memories. These memories are too real and …” Just as Corey was explaining the weird shit happening to her, we heard a famine voice calling out to me, “Wyatt”
It was Class teacher Kathy, seeing her Corey went silent. ” Please continue, she won’t understand what we are talking about anyway. You were saying…” I tried to encourage Corey to confess and confide in me. Unfortunately, that ship had long sailed.
Corey snorted, saying, “Why the hell am I explaining myself to you, step away creep.” Before she turned to leave she gave me a hard glare and added, ” If you tell any of this to my mother I will kill you.”
“You mean Susan right, not your birth mother.” I asked to confirm. This psycho for some reason has imprinted Susan as her mother. Corey did not answer, she just left hastily passing by Kathy who was headed towards me.
Kathy neared and winking at me she said, “Sorry, did I disturb your alone time with your little girlfriend.”
“Not my girlfriend and she is not my type” I replied plainly. Right now my mind was occupied by what Corey said and her origin card, Relife.
Corey’s origin card was the very example of how much I had underestimated cards of this world. First fated encounter and now Relife, fuq it was as if there was no word such as impossible in this world’s dictionary of card creation. It was hard for me to imagine what kind of cards the top 10 universities and the demigod use. Sometimes I even felt that my past life’s way of explaining everything with logical and scientific reasoning was holding me back. I need to be more open-minded making the importance of the top 10 universities became clear. Yes, I had modern and advanced science but clearly, it was not enough to create cards that broke the confines of physics and science as I know.
“Do not be shy, it’s normal to have girlfriends at your age.” Kathy teased her nephew, today was the day she was going to come clean to her nephew. Kathy remembers the day her half-sister introduced herself and how enraged Kathy felt despite being comforted knowing that she was not an orphan. Kathy was ready to face her nephew’s anger for not being there for him when his parents died. Though it was going to be hard Kathy had decided that today was going to be the day.
“So, you are saying something is wrong with me for not having a girlfriend at this age.” I did not know what Kathy was doing here but I was pissed at her for showing up at the right place at the wrong time.
“…” Kathy was speechless and realised that if it continued like this she wouldn’t achieve even a single of the reasons she was here for in the first place. So she hurriedly said, “Wyatt, I have to tell you something important why don’t we take a seat.” While pointing at the couch.
“Sure” Kathy was being awkward but since she said it was important I decided to follow her advice and sat on the couch.
“Wyatt I know this is sudden but I am your mother’s half-sister making me your aunt and godmother.” Finally having said the matter weighing on her heart, Kathy felt relieved.
“Okay.” I agreed nonchalantly. Since I already knew that she was my aunt. I had my doubts in the morning when she called to inform me about the changes in school tournament rules and liability waiver, later I confirmed my doubts as I met her in the principal’s office. After I used my soul pupils to check on Kathy for any possible injuries after being slapped silly by Cortney I noticed a 9% soul pathway arrangement match between young Wyatt’s soul pathway arrangement and Kathy’s soul pathway arrangement. Any soul pathway arrangement match above 7% between two humans meant that they were related in some way.
“Here are the blood test results between your mother and me. Now I understand if you are angry with me but I am your aunt and godmother you can’t change that.” Explained Kathy as she sent a few documents to my grimoire.
“Okay” I did not even bother to check the blood test results of mama Wyatt and Kathy as the soul pathway arrangement match has already confirmed that she is my aunt.
“You have to understand, I could not come earlier because I did not know about my sister and brother-in-law until last week when I moved to this city. Before last week I thought my sister and her husband were on a mission, sorry my ignorance led you to suffer alone for two months. Please forgive me for not being a good aunt and godmother.” Kathy apologised again and again explaining why she did not reach out to young Wyatt earlier.
