Location- Card World, Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City, Orphanage

Arriving at the orphanage Wyatt found that a crowd still surrounded it. The crowd has remained strong with time. It had turned dark, instead of dwindling it grew. Wyatt did not know he was that popular. However, even with the staff from the Fine Gold and the TSR guild managing the crowd they were being a nuisance to the orphanage. He wanted to do something about it but understanding that his showing up would only worsen the situation, he decided to leave alone believing the crowd would disperse with time. Wyatt did not have the heart to be strict with the crowd because it was filled with people who came to ask him for help. Having watched him help the orphanage head Clara Ca.s.sidy and the orphan Marcy Davis, many in need rushed to the orphanage hoping that by some miracle they would meet Wyatt and solve their troubles. As much as Wyatt wanted to help all of them, there were just too many of them. Not to mention most of them weren't even serious cases. Though guilt did grip Wyatt's heart see those that could truly use his help. However, he forcibly stopped himself from acting out of guilt as those in need were more than the time had his hands. But Wyatt did not abandon them. He had bigger plans. It was part of his criminal reformation program. Most of the notorious criminals were multi-talented they weren't just dangerous card apprentices but good card creators or array masters. He planned to have them use Hive AI to aid those in need of special help. Since he did not have enough time to help everyone in need, Wyatt planned to borrow the time of those worthless sc.u.ms that sold their humanity in exchange for power. They could start in Sky Blossom City spread to the Southern region and then to the entire Card world. Not to mention, Wyatt could use this to justify the existence of his personal army. After all, the world was not blind they would soon catch on that he was building an army using reformed criminals. There will be strong protests about this by those in power but Wyatt did not plan on letting it stop him from achieving his goals. "She is still in the headmaster's office?" Wyatt used his soul pupils to track Cortney, Bloodette, and Clown Mask in Clara's office. So, he headed there. Seeing the office door wide open, Wyatt did not blatantly walk into the headmaster's office. However, noticing him arrive, Cortney asked, "Wyatt, you were still here?" "I returned to talk to you, what are you still doing here?" Wyatt asked, as he noticed Clara fustratedly hang up a call saying, "...and please don't you ever call here." "What's going on?" Wyatt inquired. "After your speech video aired, people from all around the five regions have been calling non-stop to adopt kids," Clara replied in annoyance. Wyatt was surprised to hear that people from all five regions were calling. However, considering that his speech was trending in grimoire top search he thought it was not surprising. "Isn't that a good thing?" Wyatt asked despite knowing that not everyone calling to adopt the kids from the orphanage might have pure intentions because he believed there might be few diamonds in the ruff. If someone can find them, it would be Clara Ca.s.sidy, the Saintess of the South. "No, because not a single one of them genuinely wanted to adopt. They all wondered if they adopted a kid from this orphanage would they get to meet the Southern Hope or get a VR-slime card? Some were more blunt about it than others. When I said no, they offered to pay a ton of donations to the orphanage if I helped them meet the Southern Hope. These people have no shame," Clara revealed, she appeared to be losing her patience with these people. Which was something as she was the most patient person Wyatt knew. "Some people are just insensitive and only care about themselves. They don't mind ruining other's lives if it can make their life comfortable," Cortney suddenly complained grudgingly. "What are you going on about?" Wyatt frowned wondering what got Cortney so worked up. People trying to take advantage of orphan kids should not be new to her. "She is just angry with her mother," Clara replied with a teasing smile only to hear Cortney protest, "Headmaster, don't call her my mother. After knowing what she did to you, Wyatt, and countless others I can never forgive her." "Cortney, I have long forgiven her and you should too. I don't want to be this between your mother and you. Just let it go," Clara persuaded Cortney to forgive Clown Mask and not let the latter's past cause distance between them. After all, Clara knew that though Cortney did not like to show it she always longed for parental bonding with Clown Mask.

"Listen to the Headmaster, Cortney. I have not forgiven Clown Mask but I am willing to let our grievances go and give her a second chance. You should too. Don't let this burden you. You are one of my most precious friends and I want you to be happy," Wyatt too spoke a few words to persuade Cortney to do what made her happy. If anybody deserved to be happy then it was her. n.o.body would blame her if she found it with Clown Mask, her mother. "But she—" Listening to Wyatt call her one of his most precious friends made it more difficult for Cortney to let Clown Mask off the hook however Wyatt interrupted her as she continued to find a reason to not forgive Clown Mask for what she to those she cared about and others. "Cortney, listen to me. Your mother is a miserable person in her own way. Life has not been kind to her either. She had paid her dues, believe me. Though it doesn't forgive her for what she did I hope you guys can move past this and live happily."
