My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 222 Graduating From Singlehood

Claire always used to be afraid of the outcome whenever she thought of expressing her feelings to Azzy. Back when she first proposed to him, it was because she thought they might die and without worrying about what Azzy will say, she boldly kissed him.

However, now the situation is different. They were in a peaceful era and so, she couldn't do it again.

But, with her friends' support, she managed to step forward and when she did that, somehow, Claire found her chest became too light and continued with her unique proposal.

When she heard from Gideon about Azzy's answer, Claire decided to pursue him even if he rejects her.

And the moment Azzy told her that he solved the puzzle, she threw away the plan she had in mind and abruptly handed a bunch of flowers that she picked from the garden. It was on impulse but she felt this is the perfect time to express her feelings rather than delaying the matter.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Rael." A beautiful smile appeared on her face. As Azzy involuntarily took them, she then said, "I don't know why but my Arcana spirit hates you to the core. This piqued my curiosity. It is also the reason I approached you in the first place. But, I don't know why or when I fell for you on the way. Now, I couldn't imagine my future with anyone else but you."

Claire revealed all her bottled-up feelings. She also wanted to be as honest as possible. And then, when her eyes fell on Azzy who have an indifferent expression, her heartbeat suddenly spiked for a moment.

She quickly looked away and stepped forward to walk away without waiting for his reply. No matter how much courage she gained, there was always that fear of rejection in this insecure girl's heart.

Just as she walked away a few meters, Azzy stopped her. "Claire, wait."

She turned around to look at him, wondering what he will answer.

"I'm sure that I might disappear one day in the near future. It might be 1 year, 10 years, or even 100 years. When the time comes, you won't stop me from leaving. I want you to brace this truth if you want us to be in a relationship."

"Huh! What did you say?" For Claire, the last sentence overwhelmed the other things. "Does it imply yes?"

Azzy locked all the seals and suppress his soul power below 10. It is the first time Azzy purposely sealed off his soul power to express an emotion voluntarily.

A smile appeared on his face. "Let's Date, Claire."

Claire's face glowed up like sun with her heartbeat spiking up in excitement. As she ran forward towards him, Azzy involuntarily stretched his arms a bit wide before she jumped into his arms, giving a flying hug.

Letting out a laugh, Azzy tightly grabbed her, feeling happy for the moment even though he doesn't understand why hugging her giving him this sort of pleasant feeling. But, either, he just doesn't want to release her but quickly put her down as he spotted Snivy and Gideon were watching them from the entrance door.

Feeling embarrassed, both of them looked away while his friends came out of the house to congratulate them.

<strong>A couple of hours later;</strong>

"Okay, then, see ya later." Mia parted ways with everyone else as she decided to visit her parents at the last minute thinking she will be uncomfortable at Silver city while tagging along with them.

If not for their next train arrives in one hour, they would have visited Mia's home too but too bad for them that they had to wait for another hour until the arrival of a train with a very long nose.

"Let's go…" Gideon took the lead.

The four of them took their seats. Azzy tried to sit beside Gideon but the latter didn't let him.

"C'mon, you are no longer single. Why are you being shy, now," Gideon forced the two of them to sit together while he sat with Snivy.

The train didn't wait for more than three minutes before the doors closed and it started to accelerate.

Meanwhile, inside the train, Azzy felt nothing. It was as if the train was stationary, although he could see the objects outside were disappearing at a terrifying pace. Suddenly, he felt a touch. As he glanced to the side, Claire was looking away but her hand seems to be trying to grab his hand but was hesitating.

Smiling inwardly, he grabbed her hand, locking his fingers with hers, leading to a smile on her face. It was a new experience for this new couple and they seemed to like it.

It was a three thousand km long journey, taking the train a little more than five hours. By the time they reached their destination, it was only 3 in the afternoon.

Azzy was really surprised when Gideon mentioned that the one they boarded isn't the fastest train.

As they got out of the station, everyone's eyes fell on a large group of skyscrapers, which were located a bit far away from the station.

They were familiar with skyscrapers but not like these. The city was full of buildings with over a hundred meters in height, some are over three hundred, a few are over five hundred, and there is one which stands in the middle of a city with over 1.2 km of height.

The city was indeed lavish and bustling with people and vehicles. Four-seater flight taxis were roaming here and there. Suddenly, everyone felt like they come from a rural place.

By 4 in the afternoon, they reached the organization's headquarters building. On the way, Gideon also contacted his master. A person was sent to receive them at the entrance.

It was a lady in a military-style all-black uniform.  She has three stars and an insignia of Dragon on her shoulder.

"You must be from Aclein Academy. Welcome to Silver City. I'm Hailey, Lt. Commander of Dragon Corps." She shook hands with everyone. "Our Supreme Commander is expecting your arrival. Follow me."

They quietly followed her. Along the way to the 86th floor, Azzy saw people were moving here and there. Of them, there were civilian outfits, there were also people in military outfits, research outfits, and most importantly, familiar-looking robots were assisting a researcher.

No one bothered to ask who they were or what they're doing. Everyone was busy with their works and let them go on their way. Azzy felt like infiltrating this organization might be easier due to ludicrously lax security arrangements.

He didn't know that the person they were following was one of the most well-known officers in the organization. It is why no one dared to stop them or even attempted to talk to them.

After changing elevators three times, they finally reached their destination. Two people were waiting in a spacious office. One is the familiar buffed old man in a suit and the other was a thin and shorty old man standing only 4 ft tall.

It was quite laughable when both of them stood together but no one did because the four of them knew that this seven-thousand-year-old man is a high-rank-9 expert, stronger than the Royal Ancestor, stronger than Angie Silverthorn. In fact, he was only a couple of hundred million soul power short of becoming a peak stage Supreme Realm expert.

"Welcome kids. Welcome to World Arcana Masters Organization." The President smiled as he stepped forward.
