Date- 3 April 2321

Time- 10:19

Location- Sky Blossom City, Airstrip

"Master Wyatt, I don't know about forging an ego gem but with my waifu, I think I can match the strength of one of the leaders," Kane replied full of confidence eyeing the green-skinned beauty hugging his arm. Clearly, Kane's new origin card and victory over his bully have given him a huge confidence boost. I wanted to remind him that the bright trio were no longer as weak as when I defeated all three of them in the schoolyard and they had each forged an ego gem and started comprehension in at least one rule. But seeing Kane bloated with overconfidence I decided a good beating from one of the bright brothers would bring him back to reality and his original humble self.

"I like your confidence, it is settled then, as long as you defeat one of the current leaders of the bright lions gang I will allow you to start a branch of the bright lions gang in your school," Thinking it through, I decided to help Kane not lose himself in his newfound power.

"Thank you, master Wyatt," thanking me for agreeing to his request Kane then turned to Rami and said, "Grandpa, I will not be coming with you to the sun blossom city, I will stay here to complete master Wyatt's test for me."

"What? Can't it wait? You have a whole week free for that. Cheng and his granddaughter are expecting your visit to sun blossom city," Rami did not mind the idea of his grandson becoming an underling of the young card creationist after all he, himself, was planning to do that to get into the good grace of the future heir of the southern region.

"Sorry grandpa, send my regards to grandpa Cheng, I will meet him some other time," Kane did not budge to Rami's reasoning. I never thought that Kane would be so eager to prove himself that he would decide not to come to sun blossom city along with us but instead stay and challenge the bright trio. Rami turned to me for help, but I did not want to involve myself in their family drama so I ignored Rami's eyes. And also I don't think overconfident Kane was in a state where he would stop and listen to others.

After Kane left, I followed Rami to a huge carrier on the airstrip ready to take off. Witnessing the carrier I could not help but compare it with modern-day planes, and concluded that the carrier was 100 years ahead of modern-day planes, especially its floater system. This world's technology development in the day to day life has been hampered due to the presence of the cards but in other parts, technological development has exceeded the limit of the modern-day earth.

As I was about to enter the carrier after admiring its beauty, I felt a sudden burst of wind on my face, I had no time to dodge but I kept myself from closing my eyes instinctively. This way I was able to see the culprit behind this, it was Lorenzo, he seemed to have rushed to the location, right in front of me. Pissed I yelled, "Old fool, what heck are you doing? Are you trying to scare somebody to death?"

"That is what I am supposed to ask you, what the heck are you doing?" Lorenzo yelled back.

"Rami Kaga, head of the Blossom District medical card association greets the Raining Alchemist," Rami recognized Lorenzo at the first glance and immediately greeted him. Receiving a nod from Lorenzo, Rami felt like today was his lucky day, first, he got to meet the southern emperor and now the Raining Alchemist, right now he was the happiest man on this airstrip.

"I am heading out to the sun blossom city," I answered Lorenzo seeing him demand me an explanation for my actions. While I mentally cussed at Agatha for not giving me a heads up about Lorenzo's arrival.

"Who gave you the permission to leave the city?" Lorenzo asked glancing at me as if I was wrong for trying to leave the sky blossom city for sun blossom city.

"Oldman, have you gone senile, why heck would I require permission to leave the city?" I glared at Lorenzo hearing that I should be asking permission to do what I want.

"Master Wyatt, maybe you can use better words to avoid misunderstandings," Rami who was standing next to me whispered feeling that my words to Lorenzo were rude and I should be more polite with him to avoid misunderstandings. In response, I gave Rami a stare saying stay out of this.

Lorenzo too chose to ignore Rami and said, "Didn't I ask you not to roam round and study for the array master certification test?"

"When did you say that? And what makes you think that you can order me around?" Lorenzo's words were starting to get on my nerves. If not for this old bastard being stronger than me I would not have to stand here and listen to him.

"I am your teacher, you do as I say," Lorenzo announced as if I should be proud to have a teacher like him.

"Didn't you say you would not accept a disciple like me? And now you are shamelessly proclaiming yourself as my teacher, are you all card emperors and demigods so shameless? Is it a requirement for a card apprentice to step into a higher realm?" I snapped as Lorenzo's words reminded me of the shameless people back on earth who claimed to have a part in my success, only I knew how hard I worked and how many sacrifices I made in my personal life to achieve my success. The general public thought I was rude and arrogant for not recognizing these shameless people's part in my success. Therefore, be it back home or in this world, I did not care about my words while addressing people, especially the people who felt that they deserved respect because they were born earlier than me. Fuck seniority, if you were so capable then speak with your abilities and skills. I respect the senior's contribution so far to society to make it what it was today but don't accept me to be grateful for that, you did that because it was your job and out of your selfishness to live a better life. The trees clean the air in their process of survival, you don't see them asking humans to worship them for doing what was necessary for them to survive.

Yes, the current society was the hard work of our predecessors, I respect that but my hard work will shape the society into what it will be tomorrow. So stop trying to through your weight around and let me do my part.

Yes, I took Lorenzo's study material, but when I offered to be his disciple he rejected me, now that he has seen my brilliance he wants to use me to achieve what he couldn't by lending some study materials that I could have gotten by joining a university. It doesn't even have to be the top 10 universities, even a regular university from the southern academic region would do. All I am implying was that I could have achieved greatness in array mastery even without Lorenzo's help later than sooner, but now just because he lend me some study materials he wants me to be eternally grateful and indebted to him. It was like a quack doctor claiming that he curred the patient's common cold when there was no medicine in the world other than time to cure a common cold.

My ideas may seem rude, ungrateful, and arrogant, but those were my true thoughts, I respect you for the job you have done, but don't expect me to be grateful and indebted to you for you doing your job.
