Listening to his primordial spirit announce its name as 'Martial Mad, Wyatt shook his head, realizing that his spirit was even worse at naming than he was. "No! That's not how names work. That's what I'll call you as an inside joke between us. Choose something normal. We've learned so many languages by now-can't you think of something you'd like to call yourself? A word that describes you."

"Okay, I think I get it now. Let me think..." Martial Mad's words trailed off as he searched through his memories, as well as the collective memories of his brothers, for a word that best described him. Finally, he spoke. "I found one: Michael. What do you think?"

"It's way better than Martial Mad," Wyatt replied. Before his primordial spirit could change its mind, Wyatt declared, "From now on, you are Michael Wyatt the Martial Mad"

"Martial Mad Michael Wyatt... I like the sound of that," Michael Wyatt said with satisfaction. Simply gaining a name had accelerated the development of his individuality by several times, and though he was an iteration of Wyatt, he now truly fit the template of an individual.

"Can I ask why Michael?" Wyatt inquired, curious to understand what had prompted his primordial spirit to choose that name out of the vast vocabulary available to him. "Can I keep this one to myself?" Michael's cheeks flushed red as he shyly asked. Finding it endearing, Wyatt nodded. "Sure."

On the other side of the training room, Wyatt had summoned another free primordial spirit. The he used the study room's array to plac them under probation to limit them to their mortal bodies. He recreated an environment identical to the one where he and Michael had first started their combat training. Wyatt even went as far as to display the same subpar performance he had shown back then. He was conducting a simulation-everything apart from the primordial spirit would mimic the original training session to see if this primordial spirit would develop like Michael and gain a enlightenment in Martial Path like him.

However, to his surprise, the experiment deviated from the script during their first. break after a long run. It was when the Card Intent ordered them to stop, previously Michael had collapsed to the ground, resting, only to crawl forward to outpace Wyatt seeing him run ahead of him take rest. That had prompted Wyatt to leap on Michael's back, yelling, "Stop! I won! Accept it! Stop, you fucker, stop!" That was the defining moment of their rivalry, it had solidified in that moment.

In contrast, this new primordial spirit didn't collapse to the ground. Instead, it halted and gracefully sat down. When it saw Wyatt run ahead and stop to rest, it scoffed and ignored him entirely. It freaking ignored him.

Frustrated, Wyatt kicked it, just as he had with Michael back then. But instead of glaring at him like Michael had, this spirit continued to ignore him.

For the sake of the experiment, Wyatt suppressed his anger and continued the simulation. In the next part of the training, he exaggerated his movements and exploded his lower half, mimicking the clumsy effort of trying to think of a way to run faster as he had shown back then. However, to Wyatt's surprise, the primordial spirit didn't pity him like Michael had seeing him constantly exploded his lower half of the spiritual body. Instead, it recognized what Wyatt was trying to do. In the next instant, it corrected its posture and perfectly paced its steps, running even faster. It didn't taunt Wyatt or acknowledge him for pointing it out-it simply continued training, ignoring him entirely.

Infuriated, Wyatt accelerated the pace of the simulation, using the footwork Michael had developed after his enlightenment. He taunted the spirit every time he passed it, mocking it and feigning pity. Yet, to his astonishment, the spirit continued to ignore him, maintaining its own pace and taking its time-until, finally, it replicated Michael's footwork. It actually mastered Michael's footwork, despite being bound by the constraints of a mortal body.

Wyatt had once considered trying that same footwork during his initial training but ultimately gave up, thinking it was a waste of time and pointless. Yet, this primordial spirit did it-and took its sweet time doing so. They had been running for a day and a half continuously, whereas Wyatt and Michael's first training session had ended after just one and a quarter days. Forget achieving enlightenment like Michael; this spirit had completely thrown Wyatt's simulation off course with its defiant, indifferent

attitude.

Frustrated, Wyatt stopped the training and lifted the restrictions on their abilities and the realm. Delving into its memories, he discovered that, like Michael, it wanted to prove itself to him-but it was simply too proud to show it. Wyatt couldn't help but wonder: 'How could a slave primordial spirit be so proud? What amazed him even more was that it had the talent and capability to match and justify its pride unlike Michael.
