Listening to Diana say that she should focus on her studies more, Aurelia exclaimed, "You guys are calling me dumb." "For you to get so defensive about this, it must be a sensitive topic for you. Let us just drop it at here," Diana took a step back finding Aurelia gets defensive whenever they bring up studies or school.

Listening to Diana, Aurelia frowned brows eased. However, Cindy did not let the matter rest instead tried to persuade Aurelia to give the school a second try saying, "Aurelia, honey, you have the trait 'prodigious soul.' It has the word prodigy in it. I think, if not for anything just for the sake of exploring the extent of your trait you should give the school a second try. Who knows, maybe your trait might have made you an academic genius." "Is that even possible?" Aurelia asked Cindy in longing, it seems she did not hate the idea of studying but had a hard experience with it. "I think so. How about I arrange a secret private tutor for you to test the effect of your trait in the academic field? Let us just think of this as a trial round. If your trait has made you a prodigy then you can start attending the school and show off your brilliance," Cindy proposed. Her boss had made her responsible for Aurelia's education. She planned to get it done even if it meant tricking Aurelia. "Yes, let us do that," Aurelia nodded agreeing to follow Cindy's arrangement. Diana had a knowing smile seeing Cindy trick Aurelia, but she did not blame Aurelia for being gullible because many would find Cindy's words enticing. Heck anyone would jump at the first opportunity to rectify their past regret.

"But I have a special training session with Field Marshal after this," Aurelia suddenly recalled her arrangement with the Field Marshal. "Don't worry, we can experiment on your trait after your training is concluded," Cindy assured. As long as Aurelia was willing to give studies a try half of Cindy's work was done. Another half was to make studies fun for Aurelia such that she would not give up midway disappointed that her trait doesn't help her with her academics. Cindy never believed that Aurelia's 'prodigious soul' would make her an academic prodigy otherwise their boss would not be one of a kind and so quick to rise to fame.

"If nothing, this girl can take a beating," Diana suddenly said looking at the live stream of Jaya's fight by the edge of the void. Cindy and Aurelia walked next to her to see a bloody Jaya looking around the sky in alert as multiple shadows flashed around her. Her opponent seemed to be an assassin-type card apprentice well-versed in illusion and agility. The card apprentice was just too fast for Jaya, was using tricks to confuse her mind, and seemed to have a extraordinary weapon that could break Jaya's skin, muscles, and bone that were near invulnerable in same realm.

"How are they able to fly at that height? If my hoverboard cannot fly at that height," Aurelia asked looking at the occasional spectators shown in the live stream. They all appeared to be kids of her age but they all were capable of hovering by the edge of the void. In the live stream she could not tell their realm but considering that they were all of her age, they must be in the same realm as her or at most in the Card Lord realm. "Aurelia, honey, your hoverboard is an E-rank basic model item but they are all equipped with a minimum of C to A rank items. Those kids who appeared in the livestream just a few seconds ago were all equipped with the latest Void-Step boots. Even the C-rank Void-Step boots item card would allow one to easily walk in the air at any height while automatically rearranging the center of gravity of the user according to their movement. Those cards are not only expensive but hard to find in the regular market. Fine Gold wanted to stock a few of those considering their demand in the market but we could not get our hands on a single one of them," Diana informed Aurelia based on her observation. "When I get my first salary I will buy one of those," Aurelia uttered with resolve. Listening to her Diana felt as if her words fell to the deaf ear. "I know that Bright Lions pay is generous but with your current salary scale you will have to save up about a decade to get one of those cards unless you raid the dungeon on the side," Cindy informed pouring cold water on Aurelia's dream. It was because Aurelia acted like this, none of the employees of the Fine Gold or Bright Lions thought Aurelia had a huge background. She did not have a single princess bone in her body despite being the princess of the Border City.

Cindy and Diana felt that Aurelia had a tough childhood in the Border City for her to grow up spineless and shameless despite her honest tongue. Otherwise no descendent of a Demigod would be as comfortable groveling on the floor as standing on the floor. Knowing that everyone had their story they did not try to pry in on her past instead tried to be part of her present to hope for a better future together. "Okay, from now on I will start raiding dungeons in my free time," Aurelia announced having resolved to buy Void Step boots. "Or we can just hand boss a list of cards that are in demand in the market and he will mass produce better versions of those cards for us to sell and use," Diana proposed the alternative that she had been thinking for quite a while. "Boss's hand is full with VR-slime cards do you think he will have time to take on new card projects, especially with the Slime Fairy card project still under development," Cindy asked in doubt. After all, their boss was a busy man. "It won't hurt to try. Besides we will need those cards to help us and other employees to keep up with the boss's astonishing growth rate. I am starting to worry that the Blossom district branch of operation will soon become obsolete in the boss's grand plans at his current pace of development if we do not get creative and hesitate to take risks," Diana has long realized that if they wanted to be in Wyatt's grace for a long period with the addition of new and capable members they would need to be of use to him and that was only possible by quickly conquering the blossom district and expand to a nearby district. "Um, guys. With the boss's flight speed shouldn't he have already reached the edge of the void? Jaya will die at this rate," Aurelia said in concern, noticing that blood-covered Jaya was wobbling and was barely able to maintain her flight at that height. It was already a miracle that she was able to last so long sustaining such severe injuries.
