My Soul card is a Reaper

Azzy tapped one\'s shoulder that was blocking his path.

"Senior Azrael," The sixth-grader gasped in surprise. His voice was also enough loud for everyone to turn their heads towards the source.

As soon as they found Azzy, these eleven to thirteen-year-olds immediately gave the way.

Reaching the door, Azzy found a couple of people gathered at his desk where a number of Rose plants were neatly arranged together. And each plant has at least five or six red roses but have not fully bloomed yet.

"No wonder everyone gathered here," Azzy muttered under his breath. While it is not uncommon in this modern age where even girls take initiative to propose their crushes, the fact that someone sent him Rose plants was extremely weird because most of the guys don\'t like to receive flowers when they were being confessed.

So, either someone did it on purpose like trying to play a prank on him or it might be placed on the wrong desk. Of course, the other possibility was thrown away because only he knew that he likes flowers and plants.

"Azzy," Gideon called him and waved his hands with a grin. Clearly, there\'s a look of amusement on his face as if he was enjoying this situation. The other students who were sitting at their desks also turned their heads, placing attention on him.

Suddenly, Azzy felt gazes from every side.

Ignoring the others, he walked into the classroom and stared at the row of plants. Everyone is also quietly gazing at him from the corner of their eyes. They were quite interested to see his reaction to this incident.

There was a greeting card placed at one of the pots. He opened curiously to know the identity of the sender.

<strong>"Roses are timeless just like my love for you. Happy Rose Day!"</strong>

However, except for a quote printed on it, Azzy didn\'t find any name or any special message, or any proposal.

"Who sent it?" Azzy asked Gideon. But, the latter shook his head and replied that they were already there before he arrived.

Azzy didn\'t bother to ask the others and observed each of them for a while.

The others thought Azzy was probably looking for clues but only he knew that he was actually observing their state. "Hmm, might take a week for them to fully bloom."

Attempting to tease him, Gideon stood up on his feet and put his arms around Azzy\'s shoulder, "Judging by the size, your admirer really seems to be fond of you. Do you want to find the person? Should this brother help you?"

"Forget it." Azzy stored all of them in his new storage card of platinum grade that was gifted by Barton and took his seat as if nothing happened.

Not intending to back from having fun today, Gideon sat beside Azzy and said in a low tone, "If that sender is a girl of our class and is secretly observing you, she might think that you are interested."

"Don\'t spout nonsense." Azzy gave a quick excuse to him before taking out his books. In reality, he couldn\'t bear to leave or destroy them but was too embarrassed to admit it.

When Azzy was a child, he used to see the aura of death often. To counter those depressed feelings, someone advised him to water the flowers and plants as they represent nature, as in life. Watering them daily in his back garden, he used to observe their growth.

Because of it, he grew up as a normal bright child and this is also why his grandpa hoped Azzy to awaken a healing type plant as Arcana. However, he didn\'t know that fate has written something else for him.

Thankfully for Azzy, he wasn\'t the only one that received such a proposal, although he is the only male who is also the only one who received in the form of a plant instead of a bouquet. The rest were all girls who have unofficial fan clubs in the academy. So, he was saved from embarrassment. Moreover, no one dares to make fun of him in open either.

The first day of Valentine\'s week ended without any major issues.

And then, comes the second day, the most troublesome day of Valentine\'s week, where a majority of the confessions take place. So, Azzy and Matilda stressed the members to keep alert.

Just like the previous day, Azzy\'s desk and bench were occupied with flowering plants, this time, it was Lilac. There was another greeting card with a quote written inside.

<strong>"My feelings for you in my life have only grown stronger since the day we first met. I want to seal our bond forever. Happy Propose Day!"</strong>

Azzy silently stored all of them into his storage card and sat down.

That day was a hellish one for the Disciplinary Committee. Just in those ten minutes of morning break, one hour of lunch break, and ten minutes of afternoon break, more than thirty people attempted confessing their feelings either at corridors or directly in classrooms.

Other than that, there were several girls as well as boys who attempted to confess to their crushes in the classroom as soon as the study hour ends and everyone was about to return to their dormitories.

By the end of the day, a total of 16 couples formed in the academy, of which eight are only from ninth grade.

Obviously, neither the Student council nor the Disciplinary committee could do anything about it other than noting down their names. This is why Azzy knew this rule itself is ridiculous. Still, for breaking the rules, he had to give punishment for them. So, while everyone left the academy building, Azzy became busy with paperwork while cursing Valentine\'s Day to fall on Sunday.

Because of that, students only have Propose day as the alternative to confess their feelings to their respective crushes.

After finishing his work by evening 5, he left for home and planted the lilacs in their garden.

Affea asked him again and he replied the same as what he said the previous day. "I don\'t know the sender."

She didn\'t think too much at first as she knew it is common for a youngster to have crushes. She was even a little bit happy that her foster son is popular.

But then to her surprise, the next day, Azzy returned with a hundred chocolate boxes that he received from various people as an appreciation. The other members of the team also received the same.

Later, as he planted a bunch of camellia flower plants in the garden, it was then she had an inkling that all of these presents might be one same girl as all of these flowers represent love in a way.

Her suspicions grew stronger when the next day Azzy brought Iris plants with him on the fourth day and Alstroemeria flower plants on the fifth day. By then, even Azzy believed the same.

And the news spread all over the academy. People started to talk about how this mysterious girl giving various types of flowering plants to Azzy every day of which every one of them represents love.

A couple of them even shamelessly try to take the credit to attract the attention of Azzy but it only brought them a letter from the Disciplinary Committee. To escape the punishment, they too admitted the truth that it wasn\'t them.

As Azzy was too popular in the academy, everyone became curious and also started to analyze. A list of possible candidates has been made by a few enthusiasts.

Azzy who was too busy with the paperwork didn\'t get the time to think about it either. He wanted to show his indifference to show the anonymous girl that he wasn\'t curious about her identity at all. So, he behaved the same as every day.

It was the sixth day of Valentine\'s week. For Azzy, it was a day he finally started to think seriously about the issue.

Because this time, there was a courier from anonymous sender arrived at evening 5 p.m. directly at his home, but strangely, it turned out to be a bunch of black tulips plants along with a usual greeting card.

<strong>"Kissing makes us fall in love with each other again and again. Let\'s create more memories from tomorrow."</strong>
