Andre Johnson is the principal of Lion Cub High school and a silver card apprentice. Being born in the projects only Andre knew how many people he had to step on to reach his current position.
With his increasing age Andre's ambition declined, people started to call him soft but only Andre knew that with his increasing rank it became hard for him to find opportunities to climb higher. And the waters here were deeper than in projects.
But yesterday night he received a piece of unexpected news, Andre saw an opportunity in this if he played his cards right he can finally become an associate superintendent.
Knowing what he had to do Andre put an end to his vacation and returned to the school today. The school was running, as usual, thanks to his opportunistic assistant and the hard-working vice principal.
Andre didn't bother to go to his office, instead hurriedly walked to the staffroom. Seeing the principal the staff seemed to be surprised and greeted him hurriedly,
"Principal! Go-good morning."
"Um, where is teacher Wang?"
"Robert Wang had gone to the washroom, he should return anytime."
Seeing the principal still wait in the staffroom the teacher added, "Sir I will ask Teacher Wang to visit you in your office!"
"No need I will wait for our star teacher here?"
The teacher was dumbfounded hearing Andre's unexpected answer, thankfully Robert Wang returned.
"Principal good morning, I heard you wouldn't be back for another week." Entering the staffroom Robert Wang noticed the principal waiting beside his cubicle.
"With hardworking teachers such as yourself working how can I be lazy?."
"No sir you work the hardest around here without you the school would be closed by now. "
"Haha, Teacher Wang I heard that recently a student in your class was promoted to card apprentice by contracting a silver grimoire. "
"What?!" Robert Wang was puzzled. He never heard of this, yes many of his students did happen to promote to card apprentice but none had contracted a silver grimoire.
Andre's words attracted the attention of other teachers in the staffroom. 'No wonder the principal is so approachable today.' They thought.
"It should be Dalton Wyatt, he is in your class right?"
"How sure are you sir? Because I know Dalton, he is a bum, how can he possibly contract a silver grimoire."
"You! " Hearing Robert, Andre was furious he almost punched him. " I received the update from one of the board members. forget it, take me to student Wyatt. Why hasn't he reported his promotion in the school?"
"Sir... Student Wyatt is absent for two days now."
"What?! You have his number right, call him now!"
"That.. "
"I said call him now."
Teacher Wang summoned his Bronze grimoire and called Wyatt,
[Calling Dalton Wyatt]
'Toot'
"Hello, Dalton this is…"
"Fook your fat mama, fook you and your fat mama. Sorry, wrong number."
"Wait, Dal.."
'Toot...Toot.."
'WTF' what the fook did just happen?. Andre did not know what was going on here but he did not care he pointed to Robert Wang's nose and said,
"I don't know what is happening here, I don't care. Make sure student Wyatt reports to the school otherwise you can find another school to teach."
Hearing Andre's cold tone Robert Wang shivered in fright. As Andre left the staffroom Robert slumped to his seat.
Never in his dreams did he think that the wimpy little brat he toyed around with would contract a Silver Grimoire, had he known earlier he would have been more careful around the kid.
Pretty soon the news that Dalton Wyatt of class 1 A had contracted a silver grimoire spread like a forest fire in the school.

'Do people not sleep in this world' I thought, hanging up on class teacher Wang.
Well since I am up already might as well get out of bed.
Picking the sand out of my eye corners, I walked into the washroom. Washing my face I brushed my teeth.
Then I filled the bathtub with ice-cold water and mixed in a 1:1 ratio of vitamin E and Biotin potion.
After waiting a few minutes for the mixture to mix well I equipped the Mud frog skin card and got into the tub.
Fully immersing myself in the water I widened the pores of my skin allowing them to breathe in the mixture of cold water and potions.
Soon my skin turned dark accumulating the mixture of potion in them. Then I got out of the tub and walked into the shower.
While in the shower I made sure to widen my pores and breathe out the accumulated mixture in my pores, as I breathed out the mixture along with it all the dirt, puse within my skin pores poured out.
Narrowing my skin pores and drying myself I looked into the mirror, my skin was glowing with an attractive charm and was smooth as a baby's skin. The acne and dark spots on my face were no were to be seen.
'Ah! This card stuff is magical.' I sighed admiring my hand face along with my smooth and glowing skin.
Afterwards, I looked at my updated stats page,

Since I have 16% Active Soul Control I can only equip cards up to 32stars, Bear Form - 16stars, Mud Frog Skin - 12stars and Gale Rabbit Leather Boots - 1star totalling up to 29stars.
Star/soul power is the limitation of a card apprentice therefore cards with low star ratings are preferred and expensive.
This is also the reason why my cards sold for nearly 25 times their base price.
