Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no. 234

"Where's Corey?" Susan asked, unable to find Corey. 

"Corey went to Fine Gold Spa. She told me she had a rough night, so I gave her a day off." I half-heartedly replied to Susan as I was busy going through all the dirt old Ben had collected on the Circle. 

"That girl, already slacking off. It seems I need to have a talk with her." Not knowing the whole reason behind Corey's actions, Susan decided that Corey was slacking off and needed some stern disciplining. 

"Yes, you should do that," I answered without thinking. 

"..." Feeling a lack of intent in my answer, Susan knew I was not paying attention to her words. So she turned to old Ben and asked, " Mr. Ben, how may I be of your service."

"I want you to sell these cards," saying that old Ben handed Susan a D-rank storage truck card. 

"I am sorry, Mr. Ben. Could transfer the contents of this storage truck card to a lower grade storage trunk card. I am just a bronze-grade grimoire holder." Susan is still a card student with a bronze-grade grimoire which meant she could not equip D-rank cards. Without equipping the storage truck card, Susan could not access the cards that Old Ben wanted to sell, so she asked old Ben to change the storage card to a lower grade. 

"Sorry, my bad. I will change it right away." Old Ben apologized. Though old Ben was suffering from emotion paralysis, over the years, he had learned how to act normal so that he could blend in with the people surrounding him and not make people around him feel uncomfortable

"That won't be necessary old Ben." Just as old Ben was about to shift the cards in the storage card to a lower grade storage trunk card, I interrupted him from doing so. 

Having gone through the evidence collected by old Ben, I heard his conversation with Susan. Then a thought strikes in my head. I had many silver and gold grimoire with me that I collected as the spoils of war from the fools that came looking for trouble. The thought I had was to give one of the silver grimoires to Susan and help her to upgrade. 

I was already planning on giving a silver grimoire to Susan once she reached the card soldier realm as the average card apprentice meets the threshold of contracting a silver grimoire when they break through to the card soldier realm. Yes, there are exceptional cases such as myself, Corey, Amy, Pax, etc. And I did try getting Susan contracting silver grimoire when I got an extra silver grimoire, but it turns out Susan was not included in the exceptional cases. Susan tried upgrading her bronze grimoire to the silver grimoire with lots of hope but, in the end, failed. 

Despite already knowing that Susan could not upgrade her bronze grimoire to the silver grimoire, why did I think of having Susan contact the silver grimoire again? Because this time it was different, I had an idea. It would be more appropriate to call it a shortcut to help Susan upgrade her bronze grimoire to a silver grimoire. And the name of this shortcut was Silver Milk Powder. 

Yes, I was planning on using Silver Milk powder to help Susan upgrade her bronze grimoire to the silver grimoire. The silver milk powder helps mortals increase their active soul control by temporarily improving their connection to the soul and soul power. This is basically like increasing the aptitude of a mortal in terms of active soul control. This aptitude is what separates the average card apprentices from the exceptional cases. This means that with a better aptitude in terms of soul and soul energy, anyone can become an exceptional case. 

Therefore I planned to feed Susan with the silver milk powder, temporarily increasing her connection with the soul and soul energy, in turn temporarily increasing her aptitude. Finally, allowing her to upgrade her bronze grimoire to the silver grimoire. This is all a theory that I had just thought of and did not have any proof to support my theory. 

Upgrading grimoire is not a dangerous event except for some loss in soul energy. There will be no other side effects unless you consider a decrease in self-esteem as a side effect. Failing to upgrade her bronze grimoire to the silver grimoire the first time was already a massive blow to Susan's self-esteem, and going through it the second time would be devastating. 

Still, considering the gains and losses for taking a chance to upgrade Susan's bronze grimoire to the silver grimoire was worth it. But in the end, it was up to Susan to decide whether she would go through the shortcut I thought of to upgrade her bronze grimoire to the silver grimoire. 

"Wyatt, why do you say that? Is something the problem?" Seeing me interpret Ben from shifting the cards in the D-rank storage card to a lower grade storage trunk card, Susan could not help but ask in surprise. 

It was one thing for old Ben not to know that she was just a bronze grade grimoire holder, but I should already know that as I was the one who helped her create her origin card, I was right next to her as she failed to upgrade her bronze grade grimoire to silver grade grimoire. Therefore Susan did not understand why I would stop old Ben from transferring the cards to a lower grade storage trunk card. 

"Susan, I know you have already failed to upgrade your grimoire to silver grade once but listen to me, I have a theory that could help boost your chances in upgrading your grimoire to silver grade.. Would you like to try it?" I started to explain the theory I thought of to help Susan upgrade her bronze grade grimoire to silver grade and asked Susan to decide whether she planned to go through with it.
