Date- 7 April 2321

Time- 15:09

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Southern Card Creationist Association, Auction House

The audience and viewers were not the only ones who were shocked having witnessed the card soldier create two cards even before Chris but the staff of the Southern card creationist association and the mighty referee were also dumbfounded. 

They all wanted to argue the impossibility of such a thing but knowing that the Card Soldeir's physique allowed him to split his mental strength into four and do four tasks simultaneously. They felt that anyone could create two cards at a time with such a physique. So there wasn't much surprise there but what surprised them was the time he took to create the two cards. They wondered if the card soldier realm card creationist could create an A-rank card in such little time or did he create a lower-rank card, believing to make up for it by creating two cards.

Everyone present in the auction house was now looking forward to the card demonstration of the Card Soldier. They wanted to see what rank and type of cards he had created. So much so that they all hurried Chris to finish his card creation in their mind. Since they already knew what kind of card Chris was going to create they did not look forward to his card demonstration, all they cared about was he would finish his card creation faster so that they could get to the Card Soldier's card explanation and demonstration. 

Ultimately, all the gimmicks and showmanship Chris used to get the audience on his side were not failing. As they were curious about the Card Soldier. They were not only curious about what card the Card Soldier had created but also curious, why would someone so talented resort to fraud and ruin his future.

They felt that there was an untold story here. Especially considering the attitude of the Southern Emperor and Aba Windsor towards the boy. Why would someone with their status be seen along with a fraudster? The audience and viewers began to strongly believe that there was more to what the media was telling them about the Silver Milk Fraud.

However, more than that they wondered if the two cards created by the card soldier were enough to outmatch the A-rank card that Chris was creating. As in a challenge finishing card creation faster than your opponent meant nothing if you created a card of lower rank than your opponent. 

Finishing the card creation, I went through their card info and nodded in satisfaction seeing that they were exactly what I imagined them to be. Then I decided to address the heated gaze I felt on the back of my neck, when I turned I found the referee staring at me and salivating. Such a sight sent a chill down my spine still I calmly nodded at him and turned to look at Chris who was still busy with his card creation. 

12 minutes later, Chris completed his card creation and with a satisfied look, he turned to look at his opponent only to find him looking right back at him. Chris was dumbfounded, he did not expect to once again be outdone by his opponent. Especially when he had an edge over his opponent. Now this was embarrassing. In frustration, Chris clenched his fist so hard that his nail dug into his palm however the wounds did not bleed as they quickly healed.

Seeing both the card creationist were down with their card creation the announcer quickly took to the stage and announced, "Folks, both the card creationist have completed their card creation. Now let us move to the card explanation and demonstration phase."

"Master Wyatt, since you finished card creation first again. Please choose if you will go first or later?" the announcer asked the card soldier. Only to see him signal that he would demonstrate his card after his opponent. Understanding the signal, the announcer looked at Chris and said, "Master Chris, please." 

Chris hide the humiliation he felt well and quickly took over the controls of the auction hall array formation and displayed his card for the audience to watch.

Being unable to finish his card creation faster than this opponent once again despite having an obvious advantage, had left a dent in his confidence but then thinking about his opponent's physique he felt better but irritated out of envy.
