"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.

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 a 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 2-star 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 being gullible and vulnerable enough to believe in this scam.
He thought becoming Card Apprentice could change everything, gain him his teacher's and classmate's respect, keep away the bullies maybe even teach them a lesson.
The scamster easily spotted Young Wyatt's insecurities and started to make all sorts 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 realized 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 parent's Silver Grimoires.
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.
