Card Apprentice Daily Log

Chapter 65: Tricky?

Date 22 Mar 2321

Time 9:17

Location Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no. 234

“I will remember this!” Having said that, Jaya left the warehouse as arrogantly as she came in, thinking, ‘Just you wait! asshole, so what if the circle is interested in you, as long as you are dead who will cry over spoiled milk.’

I took Jaya’s threat very seriously, so serious that I even considered helping the guy who just walked in for free. But who am I kidding, being poor I did not have the luxury to do things for free.

Shaking my head I walked next to Susan and greeted the guests.

“Wyatt this is Mr Elliot, he is here for your services as a card creationist.”

“Hey, Elliott. Before we start, tell me more about your relationship with Jaya and Fine Gold.” I said, trying to sound as polite as possible.

Elliott was surprised to hear Wyatt be so straightforward, but he could not tell how good the relationship between Wyatt and Jaya was but looking how sullenly Jaya left, ‘They should be acquaintance at best’ he thought.

“For that, it is better if I introduce myself properly first.”

“Don’t make it complicated, are you friends with Fine Gold or not? yes or no? Simply right.” I can tell Elliott should be a capable person since he could make Jaya desperate, but who cares! Right now I am in one of the city’s busiest and heavily guarded spot. Nobody dared to act arrogantly with city enforcers watching over this location.

“No, I am not friends or in business with Fine Gold,” Elliott answered.

“Good, because since today I had decided not to provide my services as card creationist to Fine Gold and anyone acquainted with it.

Now, how did you know about me?” I did not care who Elliott was or what opinion he had on Jaya and Fine Gold, all I cared is if he could afford my services, as they were not cheap.

Hearing me Elliott sighed and said, “I met one of your clients, Debra khan today and was impressed with the origin card you created for her. And my secretary found your online shop, if not for that I would have sold my soul to the devil to meet you, Mr Wyatt.”

“Big sis Susan, your idea is already paying off.” Corey chimed in before I could speak. Lately, I have noticed for some reason, Corey seems to worship Susan.

Susan just smiled politely and remained quiet, this is one of Susan’s qualities I feel guilty of loving.

When it comes to work-life, Susan never gets comfortable with me just because we are friends and always remains professional.

7 years at the bottom of Guild association mall’s food chain she seems to have experienced and learnt a lot.

“So Mr Elliott, How may I be of your service?”

“I want you to create a card for me to cure my Osteogenesis imperfecta a.k.a brittle bone disease using the ability of Ram bull Beast.”

Hearing Osteogenesis imperfecta I searched about it in the grimoire network. It was the same as I knew from my last life on earth a bone-related defective gene.

If it’s a gene defect then no regular card will be enough to cure or suppress it as with every ascension in the realm card apprentice entire body undergoes baptism meaning the gene defect will get worse with the increasing realm.

“Nope, I can’t do this.” And explained to Elliott why. But in response, Elliott just gave a knowing smile and said, “Forgive me, Mr Wyatt, I knew this already but could not help but test you.”

I nodded in understanding because if you trust a high schooler you just met to create your origin card then what are you if not dumb, no offence Susan. Looking at the bright side my friendship with Susan would not be this deep if not for susan blindly trusting me to create her origin card.

“Mr Wyatt thank you for understanding. I want you to create an origin card for me using the bone production ability of Ram bull. But the problem is my fate ingredient does not have any relation with bones, it might be tricky.”

Origin card unlike normal cards also get baptised as the host’s realm increase, so the Origin card was the only solution to fix the gene defect.

“Let me be the judge of that, what is your fate ingredient?”

“Sorry, you are the specialist here. my fate ingredient is Clear Scale Earthworm core”

Hearing Elliott’s build-up I thought this card creation will be complicated and challenging, ah! What was I expecting in this world with no comics or anime people here have almost negligible imagination.

If it was back on earth even a 14-year-old would have come up with a more creative plan to deal with this gene defect.

Letting out a sigh I provided Elliott with two options, ” Elliott I have two plans for your origin card first one is the one you proposed that is if you just want to cure the gene defect then Ram bull ability is enough.

However, the bone produced by the origin card level will fall by a grade fixing your gene defect.

The second route is if you want more than just a quick fix for your gene defect then you will have to trust me and let me take charge.

But with this card not only will you be cured of your gene defect but also become capable beyond your imagination.

Now it’s up to you Mr Elliott, what is your choice?”
