My Soul card is a Reaper



"The lightning attribute is often touted as the most destructive element of the basic attributes. However, there's a catch.

Unlike flames, the lightning energy becomes weaker as it spreads far. The more compact it is, the more destructive it becomes. That's why the users must make sure to practice targeting a single opponent with their lightning-based attacks while working on their footwork.

The faster you are, the higher your chances to defeat your opponent.

As for the relations, the Earth attribute is its nemesis. Water is its natural ally, strong against wind, incompatible with the rest. However, metals are good conductors of electricity. Hence, if it was me, I would rather choose a teammate with a metal attribute over a water attribute user."

Pointing the marker at the student in the back row who had the highest soul power in this class, Azzy asked, "Student Ace, as a lightning-attribute user, tell me what would you choose as an ally, metal or water?"

The silent student with bandages covering all over his left arm answered immediately, "None."

"Why?" asked Azzy.

"I don't want to be a supporter," replied the student. He didn't go too much into the details and became silent after giving a short and precise answer.

Nevertheless, Azzy was satisfied to see that a student understood the properties of lightning. Giving a nod, he then said, "As student Ace pointed out, lightning doesn't have a supporter like fire or water. It either acts as a lone element or a support element. 

You add lightning to another attribute. The reverse isn't possible. It is also why lightning-attribute users don't make good leaders. 

And in general, it is also risky to work with a water-attribute user as you could endanger the lives of your other teammates in the process. 

Now, could anyone tell me the best role of a lightning-attribute user?"

A few hands shoot up in the air. Azzy pointed the marker to a random student, "You."

The curly-haired boy answered, "It's the finisher."

Azzy shook his head, "that's in the wild zone. I'm talking about team matches."

The boy thought for a bit and answered uncertainly, "Isn't it the same?"

Azzy didn't answer and stared at the other students, "does anyone have a different answer?"

The blonde-haired boy Julius raised his hand and said, "Sir, it is a support role."

Azzy nodded with a smile, "Just now I told you guys that lightning is either a lone element or a support element. You use it to cover fireball. You use it to run through the water. You use it to empower the metallic objects, giving them the power of electricity. 

In a team match, the user of the lightning attribute must stay as support to look after his/her teammates in order to ensure the win. If you chose to be a loner, then, a team match isn't for you as you would only bring disaster to your teammates."

Azzy said casually but a lot of students couldn't help but glance at Ace as they felt like he was telling him. Ace doesn't cause problems but he is a stubborn fellow. He believes in something and sticks to the end.

As a result, this statement has no effect on him.

Meanwhile, Azzy continued, "The last remaining two are Earth and Wind. Earth's ally is water and it actually doesn't have a natural nemesis. Depending on the circumstances, it is weak against fire and wind. But, it can also become their allies too.

For example, if the wind is sharp and violent, it will cut down the rocks, but if it is spinning, as I have displayed in my battle against teacher Snivy, the rocks can also increase the wind's attack power, although sacrificing its speed in the process.

As for Wind, it could be a support or an enemy to fire and earth as we discussed above. Water is its ally. And its nemesis is lightning.

And this is the relation between attributes so far. We will then go deeper into the fusion techniques, next. But before that, any questions?"

A few hands were raised as usual. Azzy gave the opportunity to Talia, the short-haired girl with a high IQ.

However, she didn't ask about those five attributes as he expected. Instead, she asked, "Sir, what about light and dark attributes? And what about variant/advanced attributes?"

Azzy replied, "We could discuss them but none of you possessed any of them. And our current lesson is about how to improve yourselves. Let's just focus on what we have on our hands, first."

Later during lunchtime;

Azzy probably arrived rather early, not many students were present in the dining hall. He didn't mind eating alone and started his lunch.

Soon, Snivy joined his table. He and Snivy sat together like a couple as the others were too afraid to approach those two, feeling some kind of invisible pressure.

Then, the students arrived in a rush. They stood in lines. Serestia was also one of them. She spotted both of them and observed until she get to the front of the line. 

She saw that Azzy and Snivy were eating in silence without a word speaking to each other. Feeling that relation between the two teachers became too sour after yesterday's battle, she walked toward them with three of her friends.

"Excuse me, can we join?" She asked after reaching the table amid gazes from all around. Everyone felt like she is too courageous.

Azzy and Snivy raised their heads and even nodded at the same time, letting Serestia, her best friend Navi, her fiancé Bill, and Bill's secret lover Laura join the table.

"Ummm… Sir, Susie was saying that you offered them…" As Serestia cautiously tried to open up the topic, Azzy interrupted her, "We are not at class, Sera. I'm not your teacher here. So, you don't need to address me in a formal way and that also means we shall not discuss things from the classroom, okay?"

Serestia nodded and stuffed her mouth with a dumpling while Snivy slightly raised her head to look at Azzy, "in that case, let me ask you, Gary. Is what Vice Principal told me true? You and Flora spent the night together?"

"Eh?" As Azzy was taken aback by the sudden question from Snivy, Serestia and the other three meaningfully looked at their homeroom teacher. Furrowing his brows to show his displeasure, Azzy answered, "No, we didn't. She was drunk and slept at my apartment. That's all."

Serestia then said, "The rumors are all over the academy, uncle. One rumor says that both of you are lovers for a long time. You came to the academy for her. Another rumor says that both of you were drunk and it was just a one-night stand. One rumor is that you are s*x friends with her as your girlfriend is living far away. Another says that…"

"Okay, I have listened enough." Azzy didn't let her continue anymore. He appeared to be displeased on the surface but he was inwardly embarrassed cuz, in reality, he is just a 17-year-old virgin who was surprised to hear the kids of the same generation talking about s*x in such an open manner as if it is a normal thing for them.

But then again, had he experienced a normal high school and college life, it wouldn't be a matter. He is a special case. So, that's where the problem arises.

Anyways, swallowing his embarrassment in order to act like an adult, Azzy further said, "People spread rumors due to several reasons like the lack of information, boredom, envy, fun, lack of intelligence, and so on. Some try to clear the rumors by speaking the truth over and over while others try to ignore it. I'm the second type. I don't care and don't worry about it."
