"You owe me one," Corey said, cleaning herself, Susan, the floor, and the couch, using her set of cleansing cards.
"Yes, I do. And I am sorry." Susan agreed and apologized again.
"Oh, stop apologizing. You know what, I will give you a card, and you're going to equip it without uttering a deep from your mouth." Saying that Corey handed Susan the Turtle's Dream card.
"Don't look at it. Just equip it." Susan took the card from Corey and was about to read the card info but was interrupted by Corey's angry yell, urging her not to dilly-dally and equip the card already.
"What? When did you upgrade your grimoire to silver grade? You are still a card student. Upgrading grimoire in this realm is impossible." Corey fussed, seeing Susan summon a silver grimoire to equip her gifted card.
"It's possible now, thanks to Wyatt's recently discovered silver milk powder. I upgraded my grimoire using that earlier this morning." Equipping the Turtle's Dream card, Susan finally had a chance to read the card's effect. Realizing the precious nature of the card, she added, "Corey, this card is too—"
"You owe me one, and if you consider me as your little sister, you will not bring it up ever again. Also, I promised my uncle that you could keep a secret" Knowing precisely what Susan would say, Corey interrupted her and reminded her the card was confidential.
"..." Susan gazed deep into Corey's eyes. Seeing that she would not back down, Susan decided to go with it for now.
"Good, now go get ready." Said Corey reminding Susan about their adventurous plans for later.
"I am ready," Susan assured Corey that she was, in fact, ready.
"Get changed. Your office formals and heels are not fit for a dungeon raid." Corey rolled her eyes and announced that they were going to a dungeon raid, not an office meeting. Hence Susan should get changed into something appropriate for a dungeon raid from the formal attire.
"Slime armor morph, C-rank Armor 'The Amazon Princess.' " With Susan's command, with a flash of bright light, the formal attire worn by Susan morphed into black liquid and covered her entire body, then the black liquid morphed, changing into a golden female armor. Downing the golden armor, Susan turned to Corey and said, "I told you I am ready."
The office attire worn by Susan was, in fact, the morphed slime armor. Since the day I helped Susan create her origin card, she had grown a habit of collecting various armor cards. The armor cards that Susan collected mainly were considered as failed products and sold at low prices to the association guild. Failed cards, meaning cards with low card durability and high card rating. Since Susan's origin card, Slime armor eats armor cards and replitaces them regardless of their durability and rating.
For Susan, the failed cards sold by card creationists to the association guild were a golden opportunity to collect good cards at a low price. No matter how low the card durability and high the card ratings of a card were, as long as it was an armor card, Susan would purchase it at a bargain regardless of their rank. Over the period, Susan has collected an arsenal of armor cards with various attributes, stats, and skills. Susan herself doesn't know that unknowingly she has grown invincible in the card student realm.
"Wow, just like the first time I saw you. " Corey was left mesmerized as she saw Susan change into the Amazon Princess armor.
"Ah~ So this is the rumored armor I have heard so much about," Diana murmured, unconsciously witnessing Susan's office dress morph into a golden armor.
"Sister, I want one." Demanded Jaya.
"If you know where you can buy one. Buy one for me too." Replied Diana.
"..." Cindy grew speechless hearing the two sisters.
"Well, as the creator of that armor, let me inform you guys that unless you have metal-type fated ingredients, you can forget about owning such armor." Seeing one of my masterpieces at work, I felt proud. And remind the girls to stop dreaming about such an armor if they do not have metal-type fate ingredients.
"Well, currently, I don't, but in the future, if I do, I hope Master Wyatt will help me create such an armor." Diana seemed to have taken an interest in the Slime armor.
"Sure, my doors are always open for my friends and subordinates." I carefully chose my word even though I did not require seeing how Diana has decided to work with me for now.
"Wyatt, speaking of fated ingredients... I have found my second fated ingredient. It's basic E-rank Black steel female knight armor. I found it dusting in the association guild storeroom among the other failed cards collected over the years." Susan reported that she had found her second fated ingredient.
"Aren't you lucky? Hadn't you just found your first fate ingredient?" I could not help but ask, considering how most of the card apprentices go a lifetime without finding a single fated ingredient, and Susan had already found both of her fated ingredients in a span of a few days.
"I know. Ever since I have met you, my luck has totally changed. After our first meeting, I contracted my grimoire and found my first fated ingredient.
After our second meeting, from an ordinary sales rep, I became the youngest auction manager.
After our third meeting, you helped me earn my first million dollars.
Since then, I have progressed a lot in my professional life, social life, and personal life." Susan reminisced about the past events and how high she had climbed in a reasonably short period.
"Yes, all this because you were foolish enough to bet your entire life savings on a high schooler you had just met. And I thank you for that." Susan was my first friend in this world and the man I am today is because of her involvement in my re-life
