Time- 19:21

Location- Card World, Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City, Air Space

Witnessing Wyatt approach them in his grotesque red humanoid form, the crowd of kids from the Southern Capital that did not dare to be noisy in the presence of the Field Marshal and the Royal Instructor, gazed at him in fear. Though thanks to the slave contract that they signed death was their least concern, they were uncertain about their future. Some of the learned ones could not help but compare their situation to the mining slaves in the Empire. Basically, their future appeared bleak like the tunnels of a mine.

Standing before the crowd, Wyatt glanced at the clusters in the crowd, noticing who the kids gathered around. Obviously, the JJ, Crevos, and the other faction leaders continued to be the center of these kids. However, he noticed one of them was missing it was Armine. He wasn't missing per se but hiding in the space.?This one looked like a lone wolf compared to the rest of the crowd who were divided into various factions. Considering his abilities any of these factions would like to have him on their side, his aloofness too hard to get past.

When Wyatt's eyes landed on Armine, the latter eyes locked with Wyatt's causing his facial expression to freeze in shock. Until now Armine was under the impression that Wyatt was only able to capture him because of his unusual rule domain and its effects. Therefore, he hadn't genuinely admitted defeat to Wyatt. Though it was another thing that he along with the rest of the crowd signed the slave contract to save his life.

Seeing the astonished Armine, Wyatt smirked and ordered, "Come out of hiding and join the others, you are not special." Armine nodded in response and swiftly appeared right at the front of the crowd a few yards from Wyatt. Only then did the crowd know who Wyatt was talking to.

Wyatt glanced at the crowd, finding that he had all their attention, with a deep voice he asked aloud, "How many of you are planning to attend college in the Southern Academic city? Raise your hands."

"None," Wyatt asked seeing that none of the kids in the crowd raised their hands.

Knowing these kids' status and background, Wyatt had already guessed that their families had already made arrangements for them to attend college from the popular choices even if it was ten times as expensive as attending college in Southern Academic city. Wyatt did not blame them after all, he checked the state of the Southern Academic city and it was indeed the bottom of the barrel compared to the other Academic city. Even the fanatics from the Empire had more to offer academically than the Southern Academic city, forget the Northern region which had a reputation for being barbaric. If not for their predecessors' heritage they would not even be in the ranking.

"Wyatt, I am attending the college in the Southern Academic City," Aria proudly informed Wyatt. After being praised by the Royal Instructor in front of everyone including the Field Marshal, she was on cloud nine and had gotten a big head. She was full of herself.

"You have to, you big dork," a voice shouted amidst the crowd. Aria sharply turned to the direction of the voice and snapped, "Who said that? I dare you to say it to my face."

As a squad captain of the Southern Watch, Aria would receive a full scholarship to the college of her choosing in the Southern Academic City. Being the the part of Art family and carrying the royal bloodline Aria did not need the scholarship, however, attending college in the Southern Academic city would help her career in Southern Watch.

"Yes, JJ, why don't you say it to her face?" Wyatt said, having seen through JJ's little shenanigans with his enhanced senses.

"JJ, it was you— you cookie thief!" learning the culprit was none other than her cousin, JJ, Aria was more pissed than ever and tried to get back at him for calling her dork but she still needed to work on her name calling.

"Hehe, sorry boss. I was just pulling her leg. You understand how it is, right boss?" JJ tried to laugh it off but Wyatt shook his head and said, "I guess old habits die hard. JJ, you and your friends who were snickering will be cleaning the Sky Blossom city sewers for the next two weeks. It's about time you people began to contribute to the society that you guys take for granted."

"What?" JJ and his friends exclaimed in unison. Aria too was shocked by Wyatt's punishment to JJ. She did not know that he would be so harsh. Knowing he could not reason with Wyatt, JJ turned to Field Marshal who was talking to Corey with the Royal Instructor, and complained, "Grandma, this is too much. Royal instructor, didn't you say as a royal descendant I should watch my actions and words? So, how can he order me to clean the city sewers?"

However, to JJ's surprise, the Field Marshal and the Royal Instructor ignored his existence and continued their discussion with Corey. Seeing this Aria who was watching from the sidelines had her back drenched in sweat. It was known to all the Royal descendants that the Field Marshal didn't like to be addressed by familial titles when at work.

Being ignored by the Field Marshal for his offense was JJ's luck. Aria remembers her mother telling her how her uncle Ransom was flogged in front of the whole Southern watch by the Field Marshal for the same offense. That was the day her Uncle Ransom and her Grandma's relationship soured.

JJ clicked his tongue in annoyance being ignored by his grandma and the Royal Instructor not to mention the indifferent stare of Wyatt that never left him. Seeing that he was really out of options, JJ put on a flattering smile and accepted his fate just like how he signed the 'Agent of Southern Hope' slave contract saying, "Boss, in the next two weeks the city's sewers will be the cleanest they ever were."
