Wyatt went through the proud primordial spiritʼs memories repeatedly, even emulating them. Though it had not undergone enlightenment like Michael, it possessed amazing talent. It could understand complex concepts in simpler terms and adapt swiftly. Remarkably, it deduced Michaelʼs footwork within half a day while on the run. Wyatt sensed that this primordial spirit could survive anywhere and excel in any field.

To his surprise, it was using their shared arsenal of abilities to execute Michaelʼs footwork in its card grandmaster form. Unlike Michael, who remained diligent and committed to the martial path, this spirit began modifying the footwork to work in harmony with soul energy and its abilities. Wyatt felt relieved that it hadnʼt discarded the footwork entirely.

It respected the fact that the main primordial spirit took time from a busy schedule to teach it, understanding that there must be a reason behind it. Otherwise, it would have long abandoned the practice.

Realizing that he was wrong to push his primordial spirits to learn martial arts without explaining its importance, Wyatt forgave the proud primordial spiritʼs impudence. Seeing its intelligence, Wyatt believed that if it knew the true reason for their combat training, it would also diligently follow the martial path like Michael. ”Hey, stop! Come over here,” Wyatt called to the primordial spirit, which was experimenting with combinations of footwork and abilities.

Hearing Wyatt, the primordial spirit hurried over like any other primordial spirit would, though its excessive pride remained. Since it was bound to Wyatt in eternal servitude like the rest, it approached him swiftly on his first call. Without explanation or any warning, Wyatt forced it to undergo memory emulations from a first-person perspective.

The memories were of Michaelʼs combat training: his enlightenment, the creation of the footwork they were practicing, his diligent exploration of the card grandmaster bodyʼs limits, and lastly Wyatt allowing Micheal to chose his name. Simultaneously, Wyatt delved into the proud primordial spiritʼs memories from first person perspective to understand how it grasped complex concepts so effortlessly. Nothing could be more complex than the enlightenment Michael achieved, which Wyatt had to emulate multiple times to fully digest. To his dismay, the proud primordial spirit comprehended Michaelʼs enlightenment in fewer emulations than

Wyatt himself. Viewing the memories in first-person, Wyatt was shocked by how easily the spirit perceived the complex Martial Path enlightenment. Its brain solved intricate problems with such ease that Wyatt couldnʼt help but feel astonished. Despite being impressed by the spiritʼs understanding, Wyatt was aware of its limitations. It wasnʼt capable of creating the footwork as Michael had. It had the talent but lacked the creative drive. This made Wyatt wonder if it truly reflected him. Creativity was central to who Wyatt was-his intellect came second.

The person who first invented the wheel didnʼt possess a profound cosmic understanding. They merely identified a practical problem, gathered the necessary tools, and innovated a solution. Those who followed could grasp its purpose and recreate it, unlike those who viewed it as a miracle or magic.

Michael fell into the first category, the proud primordial spirit into the second. Wyatt, however, dreaded the possibility that there might be a primordial spirit that might fall into the third. The mere thought was too agonizing for him.

It wasnʼt just Wyatt who understood the disparity between the proud primordial spirit and Michael; even the proud primordial spirit itself was aware. With its intellect, it realized that Wyatt had tried to recreate another Michael but failed miserably. It understood that Wyatt had sought a second Michael, only to end up stuck with it. The proud primordial spirit wondered if Wyatt would continue his experiments on the other primordial spirits in search of another like Michael. At that moment, its developing individuality experienced a frightening revelation. However, to its confusion, Wyatt sincerely apologized to it. ”It was wrong of me to experiment on you. I showed you the entire truth so that you could find it in yourself to forgive me.” ”I understand. You donʼt have to apologize. You did what you had to. If I were in your position, I would have done the same. We need more primordial spirits like Michael,” the proud primordial spirit responded, more understanding and reasonable than Wyatt had anticipated. However, Wyatt didnʼt dare take its words at face value, knowing it shared his cunning nature. Then, putting aside its pride, it suddenly requested, ”If you will allow it, I too would like to choose my name.”

Wyatt saw no fault in the request, especially after it having seen another primordial spirit receive a name. Moreover, he felt guilty for experimenting on it and agreed. ”Sure, go ahead.”

”Lucifer! I would like to be called Lucifer Wyatt, if thatʼs okay with you,” the proud primordial spirit announced, seeking Wyattʼs confirmation.

Wyattʼs eyes widened at the name it chose. Considering the name Michael had chosen for himself, the intent behind these primordial spirits became clear. His lips curled into a sneer as he asked, ”Are you openly declaring your rebellion against me to my face? Arenʼt you the bold one?”

”No, Master. You misunderstood. I chose this name because I believe it fits my circumstances. You wanted another Michael, but instead, you found a Lucifer. Master,

I have no complaints. I am honored to be your second named primordial spirit,” the proud primordial spirit explained. Wyatt didnʼt need to delve into its memories sense its sincerity, though he did so out of caution.

”Master, I hope you will allow me to use this name,” the proud primordial spirit. requested again. Wyatt shook his head and agreed. ”Sure, from today on, you are Lucifer Wyatt. But I will call you second star,” He knew that if the proud primordial spirit truly intended to rebel, denying the name wouldnʼt change anything. And he had the feeling its choice of name had to do more with Micheal than him.

”Second Star? Shouldnʼt it be Morning Star, or more accurately, the Bright Star? Second Star doesnʼt even make sense. Do you have to call me that?” Lucifer asked, trying to downplay his annoyance.

”It does now that I know how much you hate it. Letʼs just say itʼs our little inside joke. Just think of it being better than being called Second Son,” Wyatt laughed aloud. Since each of his primordial spirits were different, he would treat each of them differently. ”Come, Second Star. Letʼs go meet the others, so I can explain you all why weʼre training in martial arts together”
