Holding the Silver Grimoire in one hand I dropped a drop of my blood soul on its cover to initiate soul contract with it, to my surprise as my blood soul came in contact with the grimoire, the grimoire shined brightly and started to hover in front of me as it slowly opened to a page from which a hologram of a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared,
“Son! Congratulations on becoming a Card Apprentice, sorry mother could not be with you on such a happy occasion.”
I could see Mrs Wyatt suppressing her tears she knew she was going to die.
“I have a lot of things to say but I am short on time. Son, we love you and are proud of you. Even though we can’t be with you, remember this we will always be watching over you.”
“I have left you a gift, hope it helps you in your adventures. Sayonara my sweet pea.”
Without my knowledge, a teardrop rolled from my eyes. Maybe it was due to Young Wyatt’s memories even though I didn’t know Mr & Mrs Wyatt I felt an unknown understanding towards them.
After the end of the hologram, the grimoire page turned my status page,

*beep* I cursed seeing my status page, my active soul control had risen by 4%, while I had obtained an Origin Card.
Seeing Young Wyatt’s struggle I knew how hard it was to raise soul power but to my astonishment just signing a contract with Silver Grimoire increased my soul power by 4%.
Signing a soul contract with a higher level grimoire doesn’t increase soul power, sometimes if not careful it has adverse effects.
But not only did I gain soul power but obtained an Origin Card, I think it has something to do with Mama Wyatt’s gift.
Come to think of it there is a forbidden method used in prominent families where the elderly at the edge of the death bed, at the expense of exhausting their soul they leave behind some of their soul power in the grimoire for their progeny.
When their descendants do contract the grimoire not only do they get a high-rank grimoire but also receive a huge boost to their soul power.
Understanding that her end is near in her final moments Mama Wyatt used the forbidden method to leave behind her last gift for her beloved son.
I think Mama Wyatt’s methods ensured that I succeeded in contracting the silver grimoire.
“Thank you” I muttered to myself.
Receiving the grace of Mama Wyatt made me feel burdened, this fueled my resolve to punish all those involved in Young Wyatt’s suicide.
Origin Card’s, are unique grade cards which are distinctive to their Card apprentice. For some lucky ones, they are revealed naturally but for others, they have to spend huge fortune and materials to create their exclusive Origin card.
Origin cards are very rare because they represent the unique Individuality of a Card apprentice, for it comes as easy as breathing air or drinking water but for some, they are never able to reveal their origin card in their entire lifetime.
[ Card Name: Soul Pupils
Card Type: Origin Card
Card Rank: Unique grade
Card Rating: nil
Card Durability: nil
Card Effect: secondary pupils with the ability to see the soul pathway. ]
There are many advantages to Origin cards like they don’t require soul power nor do they have the durability to watch out for, since the Origin card is the representation of Card apprentice’s individuality they are indestructible.
Even though I was excited and full of anticipation to see my first ever card, all my excitement and anticipation died, unable to understand the Card effect. So I decided to activate the origin card to see how it works.
As soon as I activated the Origin card, other than my normal vision I was able to see a bright aura leaking out of everything including me and I could see a bright string pathway forming the boundaries of everything, I could even see the aura of the Bank clerk standing outside the locker room through the dim aura of the wall.
Soul pupils were some kind of soul x-ray vision, its perks were yet to be revealed.
