Location- Sky Blossom City, Lion Cubs High, School Infirmary
“Are you sure you were hit by a student, not an A-rank Mammoth Panda? Because your injuries dictate otherwise. The sluggishness you are experiencing right now is definitely due to the additional effect of the skill stun slap of an A-rank Mammoth Panda. Thankfully whoever hit you didn’t want to harm you and held back otherwise a Card Master realm card apprentice as you can never survive the direct impact of an A-rank monster skill.” Explained the School doctor as she used her medic occupational card on the new intern teacher Kathy Duskborn.
“I swear It was a female student who came to apply for tomorrow’s tournament. She is obviously in the card soldier realm but I never saw her slap coming. Not to mention I was almost out of it for a few minutes, letting her escape.” Kathy’s eyes shone fiercely as she held a grudge against that weird girl.
“A participant of the tournament you say, then it must be one of those irregulars who are too talented for private schools and are homeschooled by their families.
You are lucky. Poor class teacher Max, the one registering the external participant for the tournament before you had his skull bashed in for pronouncing one of the external participant’s family name wrongly. If not for the principal intervening personally class teacher Max would be late class teacher Max.
You cannot measure their strength with common sense. These irregulars are groomed by their respective families to be the future leaders and pillars of the family. If not for this year’s tournament rewards, these people would not bother to participate in the open for all under 18 sky blossom city resident Lion Cubs high tournament.” The school doctor explained in detail as she was the one who had to rush class teacher Max to ER, as his injuries were too severe to be treated by her occupational card. All the teachers in the school including her were in the card scholar realm or card soldier realm at best. The principal was considering registering the external participant himself, thankfully it did not come to that as the new intern was of the Card Master realm.
“Wow! That happened no wonder the principal’s attitude towards those students was unfriendly. What about my condition? When will my body response, reflex and coordination return to normal again?” Though Kathy was out of the stun effect of whatever card Cortney used she still faced the aftermath of taking a point-blank direct hit.
“A day’s rest will fix that, your card master physique is more resilient. If it was any other teacher they would be in a coma.
If you don’t mind me asking why a card master like you applied to do an internship in this little school.” Not just the school doctor the whole school staff was thinking the same but no one dared to ask Kathy this until now.
“I have a distant relative here, his parents asked me to take care of him in their absence.” Four years ago Kathy, who was still dealing with the passing of her only family, her mother received a stranger at her home who claimed to be her half-sister. After a lot of drama and explaining, Kathy finally knew why someone as beautiful and intelligent as her mother was living in the slums.
Though the person in front of her was her half-sister both of them lived a different life. One lived in castles and chose to forsake all for love and the other lived in a slum and chose to forsake love to someday live in a castle.
Knowing that her new Half-sister was one of the reasons for her mother’s fall Kathy had mixed feelings towards her half-sister. But the help and silver grimoire offered by her half-sister would allow her to build and live in her castle.
Letting bygones be bygone Kathy reluctantly accepted her new half-sister but never forgave her for her part in her mother’s fall. Over time the gap between the two sisters grew narrow and Kathy no longer felt like an orphan. Kathy was even appointed as the godmother of her nephew by her half-sister.
It’s as if the world did not want her to be happy, to surprise her sister and be close to her before Kathy went far away for her job at morning star university Kathy chose to do her internship in her sister’s city but upon arriving here on 17 March Kathy came to know that her half-sister and her husband were killed in their last mission.
Drunk Kathy cried her eyes out and finally forgave her sister but it was too late. Remembering her godson Kathy hurried to her sister’s residence at late night 23:32 but no one answered her. Dishearten Kathy left but when she sobered up she did not dare to meet her godson despite his obvious cry for help he displayed by attacking his classmates and being absent from school for a week.
Today she finally got a chance to meet her godson for the first time and was deciding to inform him of their relationship but all her plans were disrupted by a weird girl, so uncool. And now she was hiding in the school infirmary out of shame, she wanted to leave an impression of a cool aunt/godmother on her first meeting with her nephew/godson. But being slapped to blitz by a teenager no less on their first meeting was not how she plans to meet her godson.
“I have class later. I have no time for rest today. Don’t you have any cards to help my situation?” Kathy’s current condition did not allow her to teach a class.
“I do have a card but it will take an hour and a half at the min for you to regain control of your reflexes and coordination.” The school doctor explained the alternative.
“I have class at 2 in the afternoon, let’s begin right away.” Kathy decided to begin right away as she had a class later at 2 in the afternoon.
“Here take this pillow resting half an hour on his is equal to 8 hours of rest with an hour and a half rest in this pillow will equal to a day’s rest.” said the school doctor as she took out a pillow from her grimoire.
“Is that your origin card, I have heard so much about. I finally get to try it, thank you.” Kathy took the pillow and headed to one of the empty beds.
