Out of frustration, Ivan threw the card away while cursing. The card flew for only a few meters away after Ivan threw it before disappearing into a puff of red energy wisp.

Ivan stared at the red wisps and gritted his teeth in extreme anger, for some reason Ivan’s mind wandered to a time over a month ago. To the day he had awakened, the experience he had gone through during the awakening process replayed in his mind.

“It’s your birthday Ivan, make a wish”

The words of the female figure sounded in his mind and Ivan’s eyes flashed with realization, it was as if he had just woken up from a long dream.

” Of course! Why didn’t I think of that, it might just work!” Ivan exclaimed, he smacked his forehead and jumped off his bed in enthusiasm.

Now he felt like it did make sense after staring at his profile once more.

NAME: Ivan Von Charles

Talent group: Primal         Talent type: Wisher   Talent: Wish card

Talent lv: SS          AP: 3.11%      Rank: NULL

His talent type was a wisher and his talent was a wish card! He was told to make a wish during his awakening which he didn’t get the chance to make!

“It just might work!” Ivan said to himself as he summoned another blue card and pinched it with two fingers.

Feeling a bit nervous and excited, Ivan took severe deep breaths before slowly saying.

“I wish…” he paused and suddenly burst into laughter.

After a good one minute of laughing like a maniac, Ivan’s face turned serious as he stared at the card in his hand.

” What should I even wish for?” He muttered in a self mocking voice.

He contemplated for a while before continuing to carry on with his experiment anyway.

” I wish…for my AP to increase” Ivan slowly said, his voice held expectancy and doubt.

Immediately after Ivan’s words fell, the card in his hand trembled violently while releasing a burst of blinding blue and golden light that made Ivan squint his eyes.

Btzzz!!!

Like a flash of electricity, the card made buzzing sounds before exploding in the air. It turned fine particles to blue and golden light before…vanishing.

Ivan hurriedly checked his profile, his AP was still at 3.11%.

Nothing changed.

“Looks like I hoped for too much, there possibly can’t be any talent that could be so overpowered” Ivan said to himself. He felt sad that his talent wasn’t able to increase his AP but he was delighted that he finally got the damned card to react!

“So that’s how to use them but what can I use them for then? I obviously can’t wish for anything” Ivan pinched his chin in thought.

“I’ll try again” he came to a conclusion and summoned another card which he held between his fingers.

“I wish… “

Although this time, Ivan wasn’t able to finish making his wish before everywhere suddenly turned dead quiet and a low whisper sounded in Ivan’s head.

“BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR…WISHER”

The voice was like a mixture of a whisper and a scream as it echoed in Ivan’s head like a loud thunderclap, Ivan held his head in pain. His vision was already turning dark and he could barely see.

” What’s…happening?” Was all Ivan managed to say before passing out.

……..

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Ivan who was currently laying on the floor beside his bed slowly began to regain consciousness; he had fallen off the bed after passing out.

His fingers twitched slightly and then his whole body, he made a groaning sound after a few seconds before proceeding to pick himself from the ground.

“Damn, my head hurts,” Ivan cursed after getting up. His head was throbbing seriously and he felt like he was hit by a big hammer on the head.

It took him a while for his mind to fully recover and he was able to think straight.

” I passed out? How long was I out?” Ivan mumbled while looking toward the wall clock.

The time was only 7:45 am.

” Huh, I’ve been out for over 2 hours?” Ivan said before his eyes widened in realization.

Over two hours! He had missed breakfast and would be late for combat training!

Without thinking, Ivan rushed out of his room and began running towards the lobby. Ignoring the curious gazes people threw at him, he raced in the direction of their combat classroom.

Though he was in a hurry, Ivan did not forget to observe himself if he could find out the reason he had passed out and he discovered that it was because he had run out of Nexus energy; his Nexus chamber was as empty as an abandoned house without the slightest bit of energy in it.

‘Looks like three cards is my current limit before I run out of energy’ Ivan concluded. He would continue his experiment after he replenished his Nexus energy later.

Ivan arrived in front of a door and pushed it open without knocking.

Inside was the combat classroom where everyone had gathered, he was the only one who had arrived late since it seemed like they were about to start training.

“This is only the first day of being the first place on the ranking and you think you are already too big to come to class early?” Miss Elora’s icy voice drifted into Ivan’s ears. He could clearly feel the contempt from her words.

“I’m sorry, it won’t happen again” Ivan gave an honest apology.

Miss Elora glared coldly at him for a while more before moving her gaze away, her impression of Ivan had dropped a bit due to this so she didn’t feel the need of saying anything more to him.

” If everyone is done pairing, then you can start ” Miss Elora’s voice echoed through the air as Ivan quietly walked over under the piercing stares of the trainees.

” Hehe, first place on the ranking and you want to skip classes already. People like you can only be trash. Why don’t you come show me why you were placed in first place? ” A taunting voice halted Ivan’s movements as a figure appeared in front of him.

It was a red haired youth who had a twisted smirk on his face. Luke had been very pissed about the ranking list, he could be said to be the angriest amongst the repeaters even. After all, he had already planned it all out and would use the fifth spot privilege to get a Nexus chamber in the tower; even if it was the trashiest one, it would still be able to increase his growth speed a bit.

But because of Ivan suddenly appearing in first place, he was pushed to the sixth position! How could he accept? If not for the petite girl acting up first, he might have rushed up to give Ivan a beating in the lobby.

So how could he not use this chance to teach Ivan a lesson? Although Ivan had improved a lot and had been giving him a hard time lately, he still believed that he would be able to beat Ivan if he got serious.

“What do you say? Dare to pair with me or are you too scared?” Luke taunted again with a wicked grin on his face seeing that Ivan wasn’t replying and was just staring at him.

“Won’t dare? What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just you and not a monster” Ivan replied calmly after silently staring at Luke for more than ten seconds.

His gaze was so calm as he stared at Luke that it felt like he was staring at a little kid and not an opponent. Luke felt that Ivan was looking down on him.

“Good, that’s how a first place on the ranking should be like” Luke laughed wildly but his mind was raging.

‘Damned bastard! You dare stare at me with such an expression, see as I wipe that cocky look off your face!’

The both of them got into a fighting stance, the other trainees stopped what they were doing and were watching these two instead; Elora didn’t say anything about this, she was also watching with interest as she was also curious as to why Ivan was put in first place instead of Sommy.

“Come on, I’ll let you attack first. Let’s say it’s my gift to you for getting first place” Luke beckoned to Ivan with a mischievous smile.

Ivan’s expression didn’t change, he still looked calm like someone who was quietly fishing.

” If you say so, then I won’t reject,” Ivan replied before suddenly lunging forward.
