The Royal Instructorʼs centuries of experience as a teacher made him a good judge of character. Even without his intent sense, he was able to learn a lot about Wyatt. Just based on how Wyatt was handling him around him, the Royal Instructor understood that Wyatt did not see him as a threat but rather as a potential stock. Which honestly astonished the Royal Instructor. Because it should be the other way around. It should be him judging Wyattʼs potential and if he was worthy of his time. However, it wasnʼt. Honestly, the Royal Instructor had no complaints instead was happy that Wyatt found him as a potential stock and was willing to invest in him. With Wyatt willing to share the secret to the realm will fragments with him this one was obvious. Therefore, the thought that Wyatt might be lying to him or not telling the whole truth about creating a celestial rule domain did not cross the Royal Instructorʼs mind. Instead, he believed that Wyatt himself might not know what he was doing differently and that he was able to succeed where the rest of the card apprentices failed.

”Nothing comes to my mind. There isnʼt really much to this except using both powers in unison,” Wyatt thought hard and replied seeing he wasnʼt being of much help to the Royal Instructor and the Field Marshal. ”Letʼs do this, you observe me attempt the same and tell me what I am doing differently from you,” the Royal Instructor decided he would try following Wyattʼs demonstration and create the celestial rule domain. Even though he knew would fail, he believed Wyatt could observe his failure and then tell him what he was doing differently for his attempt to end up in failure. ”Sure, I guess,” Wyatt who had no idea why the Royal Instructor was so sure that his attempt would fail even before he tried decided to go along with it as he wanted to help the Field Marahal and Royal Instructor in their pursuit of creating celestial rule domain as it appeared really important to them. It was written all over their face. ”Here, I go—” Before the Royal Instructor could proceed to attempt creating the celestial rule domain, the Field Marshal interrupted him saying, ”Instructor, why donʼt you let me attempt it first.” Seeing his student trying to save face for him in front of her new liege, the Royal Instructor shook his head and said, ”Recruit, when it comes to learning we all are equal. Besides, failure is the mother of success. If I had let fear and shame of failure stop me I would never reached where I am today.” The Field Marshal and Wyatt nodded agreeing with the Royal Instructorʼs words as he borrowed celestial force from the card world and channeled it along with rule power to create a domain. However, the domain never appeared. Actually, the Royal Instructorʼs celestial force and rule power did not mix together instead they remained separate like oil in water. The Royal Instructor forcefully tried to mix the celestial force and the rule power together like stirring the water and oil to mix them. Soon there were signs of a celestial rule domain forming but as soon as the mixture of power left his influence they separated and depressed just like how once you stop stirring the oil and water would slowly separate and settle forming two different layers. ”Sigh,” the Royal Instructor sighed giving on forcefully trying to mix celestial force. He even took Wyattʼs recommendation to mix them in equal parts but it was of no help. ”Oh,” Seeing the Royal Instructor fail Wyatt shook his head in realizing why the Royal Instructor was so sure that he would fail. From the looks of how the Royal Instructor managed to forcefully mix his borrowed celestial force with his rule power for a decent moment, Wyatt understood that this was not the first time the Royal Instructor had attempted to create a celestial force. He also learned why the Royal Instructor failed despite trying so hard when he easily succeeded. Realizing the Royal Instructorʼs dilemma he now understood that the questions the Royal Instructor was asking about the Celestial Rule Domain were not silly but real doubts. ”As you can see no matter what I do I cannot get my celestial force to mix with my rule power. Did you see what I am doing wrong?” the Royal Instructor asked Wyatt with great hope. ”Yes, I did,” Wyatt nodded, and after a pause, he added, ”The reason you keep failing is because the celestial force you are using isnʼt yours but borrowed. You seem to be forgetting that.” ”I donʼt understand,” the Royal Instructor said in confusion. After all, according to the Royal Instructor, the celestial force borrowed from the card world was the same as his celestial force because there was no other way for the card apprentice to gain celestial force. So when Wyatt claimed otherwise the Royal Instructor was confused. If the Royal Instructor were to consume Wyattʼs words as they were, then it would mean that Wyatt was successful in mixing his celestial force with his rule power because, unlike the Royal Instructor, he did not borrow celestial force from the card world but he used his own celestial force. Now that was impossible. The whole idea of a mortal having access to celestial force seemed absurd to the Royal Instructor so he asked Wyatt to expand on his words.

Seeing the Royal Instructor attempt to create a celestial rule domain and fail, Wyatt immediately learned that the reason the Royal Instructor failed was because the celestial force he used to create the domain did not belong to him, which was why both the powers did not mix with each other. However, Wyatt could not just tell this to the Royal Instructor because then the Field Marshal and the Royal Instructor would ask why he was able to succeed when they failed. Wasnʼt he also borrowing the celestial force from the Card world? Now the answer to this question went into the category of secrets that Wyatt was not prepared to share with the Royal Instructor or the Field Marshal.
