“Madam Asong, don’t worry. Despite his age, Master Wyatt is a very capable card creationist.” Cole vouched for me in front of his client, which was given. If he cannot even vouch for me, he should not have contacted me in the first place.
“…” Cole’s words were not enough to assure Asong, she knew Cole had to say that. After all, he will get a hefty commission out of this.
“You would say that.” Aba commented and turning to the Asong she added, “Auntie Asong, though he is rude, he is a very good Card creationist. You can trust him.”
Hearing the little devil Aba vouch for the young card creationist Asong was taken aback as Aba has never gotten along with anyone of her age and considering her high standards the boy should know his stuff for him to gain approval from Aba.
“…” Seeing her Aunt Asong was still not convinced Aba turned to Agatha and signaled her to say some good words about her friend.
Agatha who wanted to get her hands on regular cards similar to Ronnie’s origin card so she followed her princess’s instruction without hesitation as this would be a good way to get on the good side of the young card creationist, “Your majesty Asong, please don’t underestimate Master Wyatt’s capabilities because of his age. He is a very capable and innovative card creationist who doesn’t stick to the conventional methods or fear testing the boundaries. If you require a truly unique origin card then you are in good hands.”
“Old friend, you are silent for once,” Asong said, glancing at Anna, who was awfully quiet.
“I trust him, you should too,” Anna said a few words, but they were powerful and more than enough to say and mean everything meant to be said.
“Little guy, you come highly recommended, it is good to see someone of your age with such high achievements, it seems my work in the capital wasn’t for nothing.” The gentle demeanor of Asong never left the room, but it also didn’t allow anyone to underestimate her. It had majesty to it as if anybody who looked at Asong couldn’t help but want to put her on a pedestal and just bathe in her gentle wisdom.
“…” Everyone spoke of Asong as if she was a big deal but I could discern her realm, she was a Card soldier, yes a card soldier. To be sure that I wasn’t being tricked by some realm suppression card I used my soul pupils to check her realm, she was indeed in the card soldier realm and her soul pathways were a mess, they seem to be clogged up with a lot of impurities. And her health was concerning as it seem to be deteriorating. It was already a miracle that this woman was standing.
Asong’s body displayed a very rare condition found in a few card apprentices but what was more fascinating to me was that the card overlord realm Cole addressed her as Madam, well he has to because she was his client but a card semi-demigod, Agatha, too showed respect to Asong and addressed her the same way she would to her master. Not to mention, Aba seemed to be very close to her and Anna too. Who was this woman, for a semi-demigod to show her respect?
“Wyatt, meet one of the key figures of the government and one of the most respected figures of the capital, Asong Young. She is solely responsible for most of the new reforms in our laws, the good ones of course.” Anna proudly introduced me to her friend Asong.
“Anna, don’t put me on a pedestal, I am just another woman doing my job,” Asong said humbly.
Learning of Asong’s profession and her relationship with Aba I finally made a connection to why Aba would go on from trying to establish the history’s strongest mercenary group to founding the new world government when the three mischiefs decimate the old one.
Then I had my super brain scour through the grimoire network to find out every information on Asong Young. In a second the superbrain provided me with every article on Asong Young. Anna had already informed me of Asong’s political achievements so I skipped that and looked into why was a card soldier was so well respected and received by a semi-demigod.
Asong Young is the direct descendent of the prominent noble Young family known for its political presence since the founding of the new government. Asong Young is one of the late bloomer card apprentices she contracted her grimoire in her fifties, but that didn’t stop her from going to the government at the age of 27 and making waves in the capital. As a politician, Asong Young can be called the voice of the unrepresented and the minority. What surprised me was that most of her reformers passed by the government were mostly capitalist, which seemed to mostly benefit the hard-working people, not just the card apprentice, but the rich still had an edge over the hard-working. This was unfair but still a big win for common people because in this world if you are not a card apprentice then you are worse than domesticated animals.
Scrolling through the articles on Asong Young I found one which had mentioned Anna and Asong attending college together, which meant that Asong had lived more than a hundred years which begs the question if she became a card apprentice in her fifties than fifty years later, at present why was Asong’s realm so low?
I know that late bloomers have a very low talent but still, Asong’s family was loaded, she could just pump her with enough soul jades until she breaks through to the card overlord realm. Well, I think the impurities clogging her soul pathways were responsible for this, if Asong were somehow able to get rid of the impurities clogging her soul pathways then it would be a different story.
“Madam Asong, it is an honor to meet you. Please, forgive my rudeness earlier.” Now that I knew why the others kicked up a fuss about Asong, I decided to appear a little enthusiastic.
