Honestly, it wasn't Wyatt who gave Clara the soul sensitivity trait. It was her soul, her patient and understanding soul, that she had honed through decades of perseverance and benevolence, that had awakened the trait soul sensitivity. Yes, Wyatt did use an advanced soul cultivation method to enrich her soul but there was more at play here.

Even though mortals cannot feel their souls, their actions and choices affect and mold their souls. It was similar to how a scammer happens to be the most worried about being scammed, a thief happens to be most worried about someone stealing from them. Their actions and choices dedicate their mindset and heart.

Clara Cassidy might have been just a mortal but whenever a troubled soul came to her, she tried to understand their pain and help them to the best of her strength and knowledge. Sometimes she failed and sometimes she did okay, but she never stopped trying to help others. The kids of the orphanage were a living example of this.

The life she had led had helped Clara understand people, see through their complicated exteriors, and see them for who they really were. She would know a troubled soul when she saw one and a cry for help when she heard one. In a way, this helped her become more passionate about what she did. And this very skill she honed would allow her to become the 'Saintess of the South.'

All Wyatt and his advanced soul cultivation method did was help the skill Clara had honed to advance into her innate trait. That was to say if Clara's soul did not have that capability no matter what Wyatt did or how miraculous his advanced soul cultivation method was, she would not have received the Soul Sensitivity trait.

If one were to romanticize this, one could say that Clara Cassidy though a mortal, lived her life worthy of a demigod. She might not have been a demigod in terms of realm but her will had the quality of a demigod. She was the true demigod born by overcoming the test of life with the most brilliant grades.

"It is not me, it is her, she truly lives to her persona the Saintess of the South," Wyatt explained to the Field Marsha, who was staring at him as if she saw a ghost, pointing at Clara.

Clara no longer looked like a weak elderly woman, rather she looked like a woman in her early forties and still in her prime. If she had a few beauty cards equipped then, she could easily pass as a young woman in her late twenties. Becoming a Card soldier her physical body had undergone a visible metamorphosis. Not to mention, Clara who had lived a hard life from an early age had a very strong body for her age. With the boost from the soul energy, she had basically been rejuvenated, almost as if she had regained her youth.

Then, choosing to ignore the Field Marshal whose gaze kept switching between him and Clara, Wyatt removed a card from his card holder and passed it to Clara saying, "This is one of the first few cards I created. I have upgraded it a few times since then, I want you to have it."

"C-rank Atlas bear spirit guard card, I can't take something so precious," Clara tried to return the card to Wyatt, but Wyatt shook his head and turned to look at the confused crowd who were trying to understand what just happened, and said, "Equip it and show them that miracles are possible as long as they persist. I don't have to teach you on that front do I."

The C-rank Atlas bear spirit guard card was none other than the upgraded form of the E-rank Abyssal giant bear spirit guard card Wyatt had created. Wyatt, back when he still had free time on his hands had upgraded the E-rank card because its star rating was too high (26 stars.) When he created this card he was still figuring out card creation and soul pupils. If he wanted to keep using it he needed to decrease its star rating. So, he had to upgrade it but with his current abilities, he had no need for it so he decided to gift it to Clara so she put it to good use. As a silver grimoire holder she could use C-rank cards.

"Don't worry child, I will restore their faith in the hope of the South," Saying that, Clara equipped the card and took the stage, Wyatt quietly faded into the background and returned to Cortney's side, who was still trying to comprehend what just happened.

Equipping the card, Clara's presence instantly became stronger and gained the attention of everyone in the dining hall. Soon her eyes became sharp and an apparition of a ginormous bear almost touching the hall ceiling covered her. Despite its giant and ferocious form, the Atlas Bear spirit guard did not appear threatening at all. Rather, it appeared benevolent, enlightened, and a little cute. Instantly gaining the interest of the little kids.

Wyatt guessed this was because the Atlas Bear spirit guard was made from Clara's aura which was the most compassionate aura Wyatt had ever come across. Having gained everyone's attention, Clara began to put an end to the crowds confusion and speculations by explaining what they had just witnessed.
