S-rank Card?
Ree Shil doubted his ears.
He had never seen an S-rank card even in the simulated card table with second-level authority at the Showcase Club.
He had seen one or two S-rank cards on TV before, though.
But if he had to talk about seeing them up close with his own eyes, he had never experienced that before.
Even the Show Director didn’t have any S-rank cards, sa as the Old Curator.
He didn’t expect that today, he would see an S-rank card in BangBang City?
He knew that the card ga between the two sides has basically entered the stage of full disclosure.
The fewer cards there are, or the more single-type of cards remaining on the card table, the less room there is for maneuvering.
If the other party decided to reveal the S-rank King Card, then they must be 100% confident.
Losing wouldn’t matter; Shil felt that he had done his best.
For now, he would have the privilege of admiring a piece of S-ranklore: the legendary Colorful gold-edged card .
However, as he was thinking that, Shil noticed that the other party didn’t reveal the King Card.
Instead, sothing was tossed at him.
"What is this...?"
He caught it and took a look, puzzled.
The six-sided crystal was shaped like a token.
In the middle of the token, two large characters were written: Insight.
Of course, he knew that this was the Instance Crystal for the Path of Insight.
What puzzled him was why Boss N would give it to him?
At this mont, it was ti for...
"Just kidding, I don’t have any S-rank cards."
"I lost this round."
He heard Boss N laugh and then press the Surrender button.
Hum...
As the card ga ended, the Blue Light Barrier slowly faded away.
"... Huh?"
The audience watching the ga was stunned.
It took a few seconds of silence before whispers of discussion began to fill the room.
"Did Boss N just surrender?"
"Does that an he doesn’t have a trump card to counter the Frog Soldier Legion?"
"Uh, that’s the only explanation."
"Man, I never thought Coach Shil could win before this started!"
"Seriously, I didn’t even think he had that many A-level cards before!"
"An exciting card ga, this exchange eting was totally worth it."
"Impressive, it seems the Showcase Club will make so achievents in this City Competition."
"Ah! My Path of Insight!"
Winning and losing are common occurrences, and everyone present had a certain level of experience and career history as coaches, so they quickly accepted the outco.
If anyone couldn’t accept it, it was 7BZ alone.
Everyone else was filled with various emotions like admiration, astonishnt, appreciation, and regret.
"Well, thank you, Boss N, and may you have night after night of gold..."
"Hold on, that’s not a blessing you can say here."
"Oh, then may you have day after day of..."
"Alright, alright."
"? I just wanted to say may your na be inscribed in gold and enjoy smooth sailing."
"You better only be thinking of saying ’may your na be inscribed in gold and enjoy smooth sailing.’"
Boss N laughed and waved his hand.
But joking aside, Shil still thought Boss N’s expression and deanor just now were sowhat teasing and worth pondering over.
Plainly speaking, he felt that the other party might actually have an S-rank card.
Furthermore, that S-rank card could actually turn the tide and defeat the Frog Soldier Legion.
However, the other party didn’t reveal it.
Grasping the [Path of Insight] in his hand, all he could say was thank you and make a heart gesture.
Since it was an exchange eting, after the card ga, a review and analysis session naturally followed.
Boss N and Shil led this analysis session together.
They mainly discussed their thought process during the card ga and answered questions posed by the other coaches.
All in all, there were many reasons why the card ga took such a curved path of developnt.
A major reason was that Boss N had strong card deck strength, but he had too many support cards on his deck.
For example, the attack-reducing [Blue Glitter Core], and the completely attackless [House Salesman].
This led to a lack of output capability in the early and mid-ga, which allowed Shil to have many DPS cards left when [Machine N] entered the ga.
He dealt a burst of explosive damage, causing [Machine N] to only survive for 2 rounds and failed to finish the match in one decisive stroke.
Another reason was Shil’s keen early perception of the other party’s layout, which gave him more chances.
For example, he gave up attacking the more threatening middle row before [Interstellar Sentinel] was revealed, and instead focused fire to eliminate [Blue Glitter Core] instantly.
This thwarted Boss N’s plan to instantly recharge the [Interstellar Sentinel].
For instance, not wasting any dedicated DPS on [House Salesman] from beginning to end.
These and more decisions were accurate judgnts.
As for Boss N, there’s no need to say much, his layout was full of interlocking traps.
If the opponent made just one or two wrong moves, it could be irreversible.
On top of that, his card strategy in this ga was very solid; he didn’t take any risky paths, and his choices for each round were optimal.
Even when faced with options Shil deliberately threw at him, he was still able to solve the problem.
For example, employing a strategy of catching fish in a barrel against [Crow-man], and blood replenishnt with the last-row cards at the end.
Moreover, his predictions were very sharp.
Several tis, Shil’s sacrificial cards were eliminated by the opponent the mont they were played.
After the review, Shil had many thoughts of his own.
In his battle against Boss N, aside from the un-revealed trump card at the end, Shil felt that the other party was completely serious in competing against him.
