Listening to the Royal Instructor utter, 'Turning disaster into fortune' the Field Marshal looked at Wyatt with a dignified look as recalled his history and found that Wyatt overcame numerous crises and each time he came victorious his fortune took a sharp rise. For example, the time Anna learned about the silver milk powder.
Back then Wyatt was just a card student or soldier, no matter how she wrecked her brain the Field Marshal could not think of how Wyatt managed to get Anna to let him keep the patent and a major chuck of its supply and distribution shares while ensuring that the Southern Royal Family could not kill him but also were responsible for his protection. Marking Wyatt's rise in the Southern Region.
Thinking all this the Field Marshal shook her head, as she still could not comprehend how Wyatt got her to switch sides. But this did not stop her from giving her hundred percent to Wyatt. Then, her mind wandered, making her ponder if Anna's mother was another one of Wyatt's disasters and where he would be able to overcome it.
"You old people and your superstitions. Don't misinterpret something you don't understand into a miracle or act of god," Wyatt promptly corrected the duo's thought process. He wanted them to believe his lies by letting their imagination take control but not turn him into some sort of chosen one.
Now that kind of blind faith was dangerous. It helped Wyatt's case but he did not need-blind followers he had his calamity daughter gems for that. The only reason he was willing to share profound secrets with the Field Marshal and the Royal Instructor was because he wanted them to grow strong and shoulder the burden of protecting the card world. Now all that would be moot if they started believing that Wyatt was the chosen one and became lazy wanting him to shoulder the burden of protecting the Card world.
"Sorry, your chance encounter is nothing short of a fairy tale. I have heard and had my chance encounters but yours takes the cake. Even the Mohawk devil would not have expected you to survive the plague egg and also make use of its precious realm will fragment to increase your synchronization rate. I mean how did you get rid of the plague egg and how did you know that you could use realm will fragment like that?" the Royal Instructor who was here for the secret to the Celestial Rule Domain now found himself at the crux of something more profound and could not believe his luck.
"All of that is related to my secrets so I will skip the details. However, I will share how to use the realm fragment to gain various benefits. It isn't just limited to increasing one's synchronous rate," Wyatt promised not going into details about how he survived the plague egg and ended up using the realm will fragment in it to increase his synchronous rate claiming he was not comfortable sharing his secrets yet.
Seeing the Field Marshal and the Royal Instructor patiently wait for him to share the ways to use realm fragment and its various benefits, Wyatt awkwardly said, "Guys, I need time to document what I know on this topic. So, I will share it with you later. I mean, I had no idea that I would be revealing this secret to you guys. Honestly, I thought I would not be sharing this secret with another card apprentice until I was strong enough to be responsible for the consequences that followed. As you can see card apprentices like Gideon Grim are willing to aid dark races to destroy the card world and take its will fragments. When this secret gets revealed there will be many more card apprentices who would be willing to help dark races in exchange for a realm will fragment and residence in the dark realm. This is why I trust you guys to be very careful with the information that I shared with you."
The Field Marshal and the Royal Instructor nodded in understanding. However, a few seconds later, the Royal Instructor said, "Young man, you were right to not reveal this information. Actually, do not share the information. I cannot use it anyway. Instead, it will only serve as a temptation to push me across the line. I will learn to be happy with what I know now."
"Wyatt, the instructor is right. I don't think the card world is ready to learn this information. I can already see a few world leaders forming a secret alliance and negotiating with the dark races. This might as well become the reason why the Card World falls. Let us just forget that we know this information," the Field Marshal also agreed with the Royal Instructor thinking about the disastrous consequences of this information being revealed.
The Card World was not short of demigods that would not think twice before allying with demons if it meant they could increase their strength and get a new beginning in the dark realm. Therefore, the Royal Instructor and the Field Marshal who did not have realm will fragment did not want to learn more about it. As it would serve contrary to its purpose and act as a temptation to cross over to the dark side.
Listening to the decision of the Field Marshal and the Royal Instructor, Wyatt nodded in understanding but also felt a little happy that he did not trust the wrong people which meant he could invest in them without worrying about them betraying humanity. The duo betraying him would not matter to Wyatt as much as the duo betraying humanity. Wyatt could not bear the responsibility for something like that again. Once was more than enough.
"Young man, thank you for explaining why you were able to avoid our intent senses. If you don't mind could you also be kind enough to share the secret to creating the celestial rule domain?"
