Location Sky Blossom City, Lion King National Bank.
"This way sir, locker no. 817. Please take your time. Call me if you need anything."
Saying that the bank clerk walked out of the locker room.
Entering the locker pin I opened the locker, I wasn't excited cause I knew what was inside thanks to Young Wyatt's memories.
Two Silver Grimoires and nothing else, these were the most prized possessions left behind by Young Wyatt's parents.
These two grimoires can be ranked among the top 100 of Sky Blossom cities most coveted possessions.
In this world ruled by Card Apprentice, Grimoires represented everything status, power, wealth because they played such an important role in the hands of a Card Apprentice.
Grimoires are livelihood and weapons for Card Apprentice, from card creation to card fusion grimoires are needed in every step and a high-level grimoire will come a long way.

To understand the difference in various ranks of Grimoire one has to understand the different power levels of Card Apprentice. Card Apprentice power levels are divided based on the percentage of active soul control in a person. A person with a minimum of 10% active soul control can be considered as Card Apprentice,
G - <10% - 0stars - Mortals
F - >10% - 20stars - Card Student
E - >20% - 40stars - Card Scholar
D - >30% - 60stars - Card Soldier
C - >40% - 80stars - Card Master
B - >50% - 100stars - Card Grandmaster
A - >60% - 120stars - Card Lord
AA - >70% - 140stars - Card Overlord
S - >80% - 160stars - Card King
SS - >90% - 180stars - Card Emperor
SSS - 100% - 200stars - Card Demigod
1% of active soul control can mobilize 2star soul power.
Young Wyatt was still yet to gain 10% active soul control to be officially called Card Apprentice. Therefore like other mortals, he could only use an Iron Grimoire.
When young Wyatt was at his weakest a scamster promised him to help achieve 10% active soul control within a week for a price that is.
If it had happened during some other time maybe Young Wyatt would not have fallen prey to this scam but recent tragedies in his life and facing alienation in school lead to him be gullible and vulnerable enough to believe in this scam.
He thought becoming Card Apprentice could change everything, gain him his teachers and classmates respect, keep away the bullies maybe even teach them a lesson.
The scamster easily spotted Young Wyatt's insecurities and started to make all sort of false promises until finally, Young Wyatt fell for it.
But all was not in vain there was a lesson in all this, Young Wyatt finally realised that there was no shortcut to improve active soul control otherwise the government would have been using it for ages or at least his parents would have mentioned it to him.
The reason why I am here is that I had achieved 12% active soul control that is I can mobilize 24star soul power and be officially called a Card Apprentice.
It seems the fog covering my soul did not vanish instead it got absorbed by my soul giving me complete memories of young Wyatt and rising my active soul control percentage to 12% within a night.
Normally when a person achieves 10% soul control they usually sign a soul contract with a Bronze Grimoire to officially become a Card apprentice. But there are always geniuses who leapfrog and contract a Silver or above rank grimoire.
Conditions to contract a silver Grimoire is to achieve a minimum of 20% active soul control or to have a very powerful soul which can bear the burden of a higher level soul contract.
Not to seem narsastic but I do consider myself a genius after all I am a transmigrator. So, instead of going to school to sign a soul contract with the government issued Bronze Grimoire, I decided to sign a contract with one of young Wyatt's parents Silver Grimoire.
I was not confident that I could sign a soul contract with a Silver Grimoire but it did not hurt to try after all I had two Silver Grimoires at my disposal. I would be a fool not to.

IGotStones I know all these grimoire rank, card grade, power level are confusing but once we apply it during card creation in future chapters it will seem reasonable.
