"She contracted a golden grimoire on her first try."

"Holy shit! Is this the birth of a genius or what?"

"Now I have seen everything."

"Is it because she is too talented or is the silver milk powder that good?"

"First the orphanage headmaster and now a sickly girl, I think it's the silver milk powder."

"Well, it does look like it."

The onlookers were shocked and amazed to see a mortal teenage girl was able to shed her mortal status and become a card soldier while contracting a golden grimoire. They could no longer be silent and began to gossip making wild speculations.

Wyatt ignored the crowd and focused on Marcy, who was still skinny but her body appeared to have become sturdier and gained a rosy glow. Giving Wyatt the feeling that a healthy soul would keep a body healthy.

Compared to Clara whose metamorphosis after becoming a card apprentice was obvious Marcy's metamorphosis wasn't that obvious yet. After all, Marcy's body was at the death's threshold. Her appearing like she could take a punch or two was already a huge change not to forget with proper nutrition, the true change in her body would begin to show.

When Marcy regained control of her elements, Field Marshal was quick to act, she passed an elixir to her saying, "Here you go, child. Drink it, you will feel better."

"Senior this appears expensive," Marcy did not take the elixir and hesitated looking at its extravagant appearance.

"It's nothing child, just drink it," the Field Marshal had specifically prepared this elixir for Marcy she planned to give it to her on the day she recruited her but now plans had changed.

Unlike Wyatt who had managed to remove all the pathogens from Marcy's body thanks to his keen soul pupils, the Field Marshal planned to kill all the pathogens she could find in Marcy's body and have her drink in this elixir.

The Field Marshal knew she could not totally rid Marcy's body of all the alien pathogens but she thought she could help Marcy get stronger than pathogens before they once again grew in her body. This way the pathogens could no longer abuse her soul instead they would form a symbiotic bond and live in harmony like many other friendly pathogens in the human body.

The Field Marshal's idea was possible, if Marcy's soul had grown stronger than the pathogens before their recovery, then like the demons in the dark realm that have managed to live in harmony with these pathogens and as a result gained strong physique, Marcy too stood chances to develop a demonic physique fulfilling the original goal of the human experimentation.

Seeing Field Marshal insist, Marcy took the elixir and drank it. Soon, the loose clothes became too tight for her, revealing that Marcy not only had inherited a high talent for active soul control from her predecessors but extraordinary beauty too. The elixir helped her truly showcase the metamorphic change she had undergone getting rid of the pathogens in her body and becoming a card soldier with golden grade grimoire.

Noticing the change in Marcy the female onlookers could not help but ask, "What elixir is that? I want one of those."

After coming to terms with the change in her body, Marcy turned to Field Marshal and thanked, "Thank you for the elixir, senior. I will definitely repay you someday."

"Don't mention it," the Field Marshal shook her head acting aloof. She was happy, how could she now be, Wyatt did all the work and she got the credit by gifting an elixir.

Wyatt rolled his eyes at the Field Marshal, how could he not be aware of her intentions? But she was forgetting who he was. Marcy turned to Wyatt to thank him too but he dismissed her and said, "Summon your grimoire."

"Grimoire?" Marcy blurted, but soon recalled that when she was out of it, Wyatt seemed to have helped her contract a grimoire. Intuitively Marcy summoned the grimoire, seeing its grade she exclaimed, "Golden grimoire!!"

"What are you making a fuss about? open your status page and let me see that my efforts were not in vain," Wyatt said coldly, hearing him Marcy nodded and opened her grimoire to show him her status page. Wyatt indifferent went through Marcy's status page to find the following:

[Trait Name: Prodigious Soul

Trait Type: Innate (Passive)

Trait Effect: The user's soul has an extraordinary talent for soul cultivation.]

[Trait Name: Unbreakable

Trait Type: Innate (Passive)

Trait Effect: The user's body and soul will not collapse until the user's will is extinguished.]

[Physique Name: Gifted Lineage

Physique Type: Innate (Passive)

Physique Effect: The user's descendant will inherit the user's innate talent 'Prodigious Soul.']

"Two traits and One physique, not bad," Wyatt uttered going through Marcy's grimoire. Then returning the grimoire to Marcy he said, "You did not embarrass me."

Of the two traits and one physique that Marcy had, the trait 'Prodigious Soul' she had inherited from her predecessor, as for the physique 'Gifted Lineage' she inherited it from the pathogens that had been plaguing her since her birth. Lastly, her trait 'Unbreakable' was a testament to her life so far.

Just like Clara who gained the trait 'Soul Sensitivity' because of the way she lived her life, similarly, Marcy gained the trait 'Unbreakable' as a product of the way she had lived her life. Marcy never let her condition break her conviction and values. She had lived her life the best way she knew without letting her circumstances compromise her.

Listening to Wyatt say that Marcy had two traits and one physique, the Field Marshal almost drooled. Wiping her drool the Field Marshal cleared her throat, "*Ahem* Child, can I have a look at your status page?"

"Sure, Senior," Marcy passed the grimoire to the Field Marshal with a gentle smile even though she had not gotten a proper look at her status. Going through Marcy's status page, the Field Marshal's aloof expression was replaced with utter disbelief.
