“Corey, What are you doing here?” Tammy asked in alert, after the duel with Corey her impression of Corey had improved but she still did not completely true her.

“Relax, I am here to talk.” Seeing alerted Tammy Corey shook her head and a.s.sured Tammy that she just wanted to talk.

“Your sword arts is it a pa.s.sive or active skill. I could feel an extra force behind your slashes. It must be the effect of your sword arts because Tainted one has no such effects even if you add the extra attributes it gives.” Corey asked Tammy about her sword arts as she was genuinely interested in it.

Martial skill origin cards are very rare. They grow slowly compared to other types of origin cards using baptism. Because the first few baptisms fix the flaws and get rid of unnecessary parts of the Martial skill contained in the origin card. Therefore not much boost is seen in the card info of the Martial skill origin card after undergoing the first few baptisms. But once all the flaws of the martial skill are fixed the next baptisms are going to upgrade the martial skills by a huge margin allowing the hosts to destroy mountains and rivers effortlessly.

Corey after her duel with Tammy saw that Tammy’s martial skill had undergone two baptisms and reached perfection. And instead of being stuck in a 3rd rate guild if Tammy is given proper help and guidance, she could become a legendary figure. Corey, who had the memories of Corey Park, had insight into my truths that would be considered top-secret information by the government and leaders of this world and some even the government did not know about.

“It’s pa.s.sive. My sword art is more like a supporting technique for other sword arts. Meaning it automatically integrates with other sword arts and enhances them with additional skills and effects.” Tammy hesitated but still answered Corey. Her origin card details were not a secret; both the Lion Cubs High school and the New Song guild had the card info.

And she was truthful about her origin card as it pa.s.sively provided 5% critical chance no matter what sword arts she used and every nine successful attacks on enemy units triggered an invisible 10 attack with total damage from periods 9 attacks and 45% critical chance. Meaning that she could kill or defeat any enemy of the same realm if she were to continuously land 9 attacks on them despite the type of sword art she uses. This is the reason why Tammy chose to face Corey head-on without dodging but she underestimated Corey’s sword arts which stacked double damage for every successful hit up to 7 times.

“Awesome. Are you happy working here?” Without caring for the eavesdropping New Song guild leader Corey asked Tammy if she is happy working at the New Song guild.

“What do you mean? I thought you just wanted to talk.” Tammy was puzzled and cautious about why Corey would ask something like that when her boss is within 10 meters distance of her.

“I mean do you see yourself working for New Song 5 years from now. Do not worry about them, just tell me what you feel.” Corey disregarded the New Song guild members and leader who were awkwardly eavesdropping on their conversation but the same could not be said for Tammy.

” Our line of work is dangerous. I am not sure if I can come out alive from the next dungeon raid or mission. But currently, I am satisfied. It helps me pay my bills which is better than sleeping on the streets.” Tammy chose her words carefully as she cannot offend both her boss and the heiress of the right family.

“I see. I have just opened my card studio and am yet to hire staff. How about you come work at my card studio? It’s a lot safer and will pay triple the amount of what your current job pays.” Hearing Corey, the New Song Guild leader almost flipped seeing a brat pouch one of his previous members but calmed down quickly knowing he could do nothing but sit and watch as everything unfolds.

“Sorry, I would like to but I have a 10 years contract with the New Song guild. My hands are tied” Tammy’s hands were literally tied by the New Song guild contract for 10 years.

“Do not worry about that, I will take care of that as your signing bonus. Just say yes and I will handle the rest.” Money did not matter to current Corey but talent did. After living through Corey Park’s memory she understood that her family was just a small fish in the pound. And this pound was one of the many pounds formed by the long river of s.p.a.ce and time. If she wanted to leave the pound and enter the river then her power alone was not enough and would require allies, strong allies with a raw potential enough for them to leap out of the point and into the river. Tammy was one of them, agreed that she required a lot of guidance and work to be done on her but she had it in her.

To Corey’s astonishment, in the three days since she had gained the memories of Corey Park excluding Tammy she was able to find 6 people with greater potential and most of them she had met today, Wyatt, Jaya, Pax, Sarah and Elliott.

Other than these 5, there was Anna; she was the strongest and oldest. With her current realm, Corey could not figure out her exact strength and age therefore she did not add her to the list but she was sure that Anna was about peak Card Overlord in strength.

And also Elliot had missed the golden and ideal age of practice and would require all of the guidance and resources to make up for it.

Jaya, Pax and Sarah, all of them seemed to be descendants of some higher being because within their body ran strong bloodlines.

Lastly, Dalton Wyatt, the person she has mixed feelings about as Corey before the second baptism was close to him but the current one who hates him believing that her ex-mama was interested in him. As for potential, he is the one who has suppressed her even with her t.i.tled Demon Core. Her core would always send distress signals to her whenever she is next to him. It’s as if the Demon Core has found its natural enemy or someone stronger.

Either way, she planned to recruit all of them but all of them were kings in their own right and n.o.body would choose to follow her as she is now. so she started with the weakest one Tammy.

Despite her Careful a.s.sessment and planning, what Corey failed to notice is that all the 5 people she planned on requiring had one thing in common, Dalton Wyatt.
