“Great, I will create the mecha cards for demonstration. And trust me, they will be worth your money.” They say if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. And creating things that were just a theory or concept back on earth was what I loved, and when Anna and the rest asked me to create a mecha made out of runes for demonstration. I was pumped.
“Okay then, what are you waiting for?” Asked Lorenzo, he seemed to be bummed about Anna giving me an opportunity to earn the broken runes as he wanted to exchange the broken runes in his possession for the share of silver milk powder in my hands.
“Well, creating a mecha card requires a lot of rare ingredients and resources, which costs a lot of money. As an orphan student, I lack the funds and the broken runes to create a mecha card.” I was not ashamed to use the orphan student card to get the funds and broken runes to create the mecha card for demonstration. Heatsend royal family is loaded, and they would not sweat the small expenses.
“Seriously…” Lorenzo was about to talk snark again but was interrupted by Anna, “forward me the list of ingredients you require. I will have the stadium staff bring it.”
“There is no rush for that. How about we move the party to my card boutique? There I can use my card lab for the card creation, and Susan can make arrangements for the ingredients. Of course, you will be paying her.” Creating mecha cards using broken runes would be a massive project. I will require a lot of rare and expensive card ingredients in their creation process, which was an excellent opportunity for Susan to make a buttload of money sales commission. Therefore I advised Anna that we should move to the Association guild warehouse, aka my card boutique.
“Sure. On the way, we can buy some pizza for dinner.” Anna agreed and pitched that we should have pizza for dinner.
“But we had pizza for lunch. Not that I am complaining, I love pizza.” I commented as I used my grimoire to send a private message to Susan.
…
Wyatt: [ Susan, I hooked a big fish. So, please leave whatever you are doing and quickly head to the warehouse and make it presentable.]
Susan: [Okay. Where are you at? And what is the estimated time of your arrival?]
Wyatt: [We are leaving the card stadium right now.]
Susan: [ I am still at the stadium too.]
Wyatt: [ No worries, we will be stopping for pizza. Do you want me to bring some for you?]
Susan: [That’s not enough. Stall the client as much as possible until I DM you.]
Wyatt: [Okay. What about the pizza?]
Susan: [No, I don’t want a pizza. Could you bring me a kale salad?]
Wyatt: [ Really? Your choosing Kale salad over pizza]
Susan: [Yep, I had lobster for lunch. So, I want to eat something healthy for dinner.]
Wyatt: [Well, you can order it from the staff mess at Guild association mall yourself.]

“Anna, give me three broken runes of Fire, Wind, and earth elemental rule.” I said, picking up the last pizza slice.
“Okay. I will help you refine these broken ruins. Meanwhile, you get started with the card creation process” Anna offered her help in refining the broken runes, but I did not need her help as my calamity daughter gem could easily dominate the will of the broken runes and turn them into slaves.
“Thank you. I can refine them myself.” Wiping my hands and mouth on a napkin, I politely rejected Anna’s help.
“Are you sure?” Anna asked again. She knew I had turned six broken runes into ego elementals in less than 20 minutes but still, she could not help but be concerned.
“Yes, give me the broken runes. I will handle them.” For some people, Anna’s concern would come off as clingy and smothering, but I enjoyed it. I loved the attention and care she had shown me. Though it’s another thing that my trust issues are keeping me from reciprocating similar feelings for her.
“Here, What about the other ingredients?” Handing me a red spherical orb, Anna asked me about the status of the other ingredients that Susan had gone to acquire.
“They are on their way. And what is this?” I asked Anna, curiously fiddling with the red spherical orb that she handed to me.
“That’s a Rune Jewel. It is an item used to store broken runes. You can access the broken runes in them using your mental energy.” Anna answered, explaining how to access the broken rune stored within the Rune Jewel.
“Wow, then is it like an artificial ego gem?” I asked curiously while gazing at the three dots of red, green, and yellow floating around inside the Rune Jewel. Those three dots must be the broken runes of elemental runes fire, wind, and land.
“Calling a Rune Jewel an artificial ego gem would be incorrect, but the idea behind the creation of Rune Jewel was indeed to create a synthetic ego gem. It is more like a failed product as a result of trying to make a fake ego gem.
Ego gems can help store and nourish runes and broken runes, but the rune jewel can only store broken runes.” Luna did not miss the chance to correct me and explained Why? What? And How? About the Rune jewels.
“Thank you for that. I will get started on refining the broken ruins. You guys make yourself at home and when Susan comes with indigents, ask her to leave them at the door of the card lab.” Thanking Luna for the useless facts that she unloaded on me, I headed towards the card lab to refine the broken runes until Susan arrived with the other ingredients.
“Will do. Ask if you need any help.” Anna reminded me that she is available to help if I need any. Despite being rejected by me repeatedly.
With the help of three-card emperors, creating the mecha card would be a lot easier and more time-saving. But my card creation method is very crude, which involves a lot of help from my soul pupils and memories, making it impossible for me to collaborate with other card creationists, especially with competent card creations like Luna and Lorenzo. They would easily spot that I have bare minimum knowledge of card creation.
