Arcana Mob

-Present day-

Cade closed his eyes and opened them again.

[Spectre Dullahan]

The picture of the headless knight remained there without a single change. Signifying that it was all not a dream.

Looking back at it, Cade really couldn't imagine that yesterday was real.

His current world was just a game world that he had played in his previous life, and to make it worse, a galge game which was only created to satisfy the lust of some teenagers.

Still, now that he had the power to turn back his fate, Cade believed that he would at least not be as powerless as before.

To hell with the game settings. As long as he and Elsa could survive, then it was all good for him.

' Hahahahaha, and for that, you must thank me, no?'

Grigory's voice came out of nowhere.

It was true though, the Guillotines were the turning point of his life.

​ Back then, the delinquents thought the Guillotines were just to intimidate the guest.

However, who would have thought that the Guillotines could possess a secret function, and that is to merge arcane cards.

Using the Cards given by Grigory, Cade was able to fuse his Arcane Card, Spectre, and evolved it into the Rank (III) Dullahan that he holds in his hand right now.

' Hahaha, don't be that surprised, okay. In fact, what you have used is just the very crust of the usefulness of the Guillotines. Later, I will tell you some more interesting info.'

The eery sounds of Grigory woke cade up from his daze. Now, he could see a transparent figure of Grigory floating above him.

Hearing those last words, Cade grew a self-mocking smile.

For sure, he was a transmigrator, and he fully knew about the usefulness of the Guillotines.

When fusing the Arcane Cards using the Guillotines, Grigory actually revealed some interesting facts.

First, the fusion couldn't be done by any normal people. Arcane Card was directly linked to a person's soul, so fusing an arcane card would mean harm to the person's soul.

Second, for anything, there was always an exception. And as for the fusion, the exception is the ghost-type arcane card. When you fused a Ghost-type arcane card and an inanimate object card, rather than fusion, it would get into a special case called possession, and it wouldn't pose any harm at all to the person's soul.

Last but not least, possession was essentially different than fusion. You could cancel the possession any time, while it was not the case with fusion.

Other than the protagonist, who for some reason could use the guillotines like a toy and possessed more than one Arcane Card, it could be said as a miracle that Cade was able to fulfill those criteria.

Using those three facts, Cade was able to use his arcane card, spectre to possess an armor card given by Grigory, and the result was this Dullahan card.

Eerily laughing, Grigory ignored Cade's feeling and said: "Don't be happy soon, though. You are still far from our goal."

Of course, Cade was very clear about this. Even with Grigory's help, he would still need to put in an extra effort if he wanted to survive in this world. After all, there's no guarantee that he wouldn't get the same fate as his counterpart in the novel: "I know, I have lived two lives until now. It is way too early to get complacent now.."

Grigory, with a satisfied face nodded as he said: "Good. I like that spirit. For now, our next target is to ace the university exam. The protagonist and his group would soon enter the best university in the country, and to make us closer to our goal, you will need to enter that university too!"

. . . . . .

The next morning, Cade ate some breakfast and went to school.

His sister, Elsa had already calmed down. Last night when Cade returned home, Elsa cried and admonished him hard. She cried as she said she didn't want any egg-fried rice anymore, and just wanted Cade to return home safely. For this, Cade could only try to soothe Elsa, and only until almost midnight that Elsa stops crying and fall asleep.

This made Cade feel at ease.

Luminous City, Luminous High school, year 3, Class 2.

It was the college entrance examination season again. Every year at this time, all the high schools would be busy preparing for it.

But there was something a bit different than usual here.

Cade, who from the beginning of the first year had always been bullied wherever he go, now was left alone, and it seemed people were afraid to make eye contact with him.

" Look at him, he is the sole survivor of that strange incident, and now he comes back like there's no problem at all. I don't believe if he isn't related at all to the disappearance case."

" Psst... shut your mouth. Either way, this has nothing to do with us. Let's just keep our distance away from him. After all, we don't want to get implicated in this matter."

A lot of murmurs came as there were a lot of rumors regarding Cade. From he was related to the disappearance case to something like he was the mastermind behind it.

Obviously, the one at the center of the storm, Cade didn't put any thought into this. All he wanted to do now was to do his best in the following university exam.

He ignored every rumor regarding him, and just focused on the lecture of the teacher in front of him.

"Two months, there are still two months left. The remaining students should work harder and raise the magical beasts properly."

"At the very least, you should have raised your Arcane Card to rank (II) And not dilly dally yourself with some weird rumors.."

The homeroom teacher, Ms. Delphine slammed, looked very stern, her emotions slightly agitated. As she spoke, she intentionally shifted his gaze to Cade.

For her, Cade was the worst kind of student that she would ever meet. He is weak, not talented, and surrounds himself with some weird rumors.

If not for the fact that she is a teacher and he is her student. Ms. Delphine definitely would have thrown Cade away from her lecture.

Cade met the gaze of the homeroom teacher, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.

It seemed the teacher was thinking bad of him once again. Still, who could blame her? After all, even Cade previously thought that he had no hope.

In the entire class, he was the only one who was not able to raise his Arcane Card to rank (II), and to make it worse, his Arcane Card didn't have any usefulness in either support or combat.

Now was different, though, Cade had Grigory to back him up, and he believed it wouldn't be long until he began to rose. Of course, his identity as a transmigrator who knows the story also helped here. With both Grigory and the knowledge of the future at his disposal, there's no reason for Cade not to succeed.

However, just like one says, Obstruction could come from anywhere.

Just after Cade finished the lesson and was about to get back home, a group of delinquents came and surround him.

" You bastard!! Tell me where is my brother!!!"
