Free Web NovelChapter 56: Chapter 27: Come Again Next Year
"Pfft..."
Secretary Brown almost burst out laughing when he heard this.
Coach Shil is infamous among the students for his sharp tongue, every student who has sat at his card table has been educated.
"Director Show, your guys are talking big..."
On the other hand, Director Thompson’s face didn’t look so good.
You need to know that those who run card clubs care a lot about their reputation, one of the things they least like to hear is that their teaching is not good.
"It’s a misunderstanding, he didn’t know that’s your student."
Director Show shrugged and laughed.
"Humph...well, I want to see, whether he has the ability to match his bravado."
Director Thompson’s gaze returned to the card table.
At this moment, Ree Shil was indeed suffering from occupational disease.
Although he loved to slack off and wanted to only get his salary, once he sat at the card table for teaching, he was very serious and responsible.
If it was his own student who played cards like this, they would have been punished by now.
"I can’t play cards?"
Jason Hou on the opposite side was not annoyed but instead looked a bit stunned.
The arrogant attitude he had before, was completely drained in an instant.
Keep in mind that he had been a student at the card club for almost 5 to 6 years.
The one students fear the most, of course, is the teacher.
And this guy in front of him, clearly only looks a few years older than himself.
But both his posture and tone, reminded him of his strict teacher.
"Try again next year."
Ree Shil suddenly remembered this was a match, and the person on the opposite side was not his student, so he didn’t bother to give further explanation.
He simply flicked one of his first row cards.
Ding!
The card flipped over, with the card face up.
[Brother Grieving Beast]
A tall muscular man jumped out of the card face.
He was naked all over and a spot of light served as the mosaic where it was inconvenient to describe.
"This, this card!!"
Jason Hou took a closer look and was dumbfounded.
[Brother Grieving Beast]
Balance, 35 Points, C
Attack 35, 100/100 freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
[Eat Meat-Passive]: When Brother Grieving Beast attacks humanoid cards, it inflicts an additional 10 points of damage
[Muscle Flash-0 Energy Point]: This round, Brother Grieving Beast can choose a target, making it blind for 1 round
(Blind: Cannot choose targets this round)
Being unable to choose a target, is equivalent to being unable to attack or release skills, healing effects, etc.
Although it can only be released once in the entire round, it’s enough for the current round.
[Crazy Apprentice] is designed for 1 round of strong burst, spending a whopping 100 points and getting affected by [blind], what’s the point of playing then.
This is why Ree Shil challenged whether the opponent knew how to play cards.
The combo of [Old Sect Leader] + [Crazy Apprentice] among the D-C ranked cards, is considered a rather strong burst.
However, in the hands of this guy on the other side, this combo is used so crudely and flawed.
Unveiling them simultaneously in the first row is too risky.
"..."
At this moment, Jason Hou had a pretty ugly look on his face.
He was still talking about winning beautifully earlier, but now everything has turned into being brilliantly beaten by the other party.
But who would expect to encounter a controll-type card from the first round opponent in this rookie competition?
If he had been more steady and first assessed the situation of the opposite side before playing these two cards, it would be fine!
If there is anyone to blame, it’s only his own impatience to look cool.
"Little Brown, you’ve hired a talented guy while I was away."
Director Show was ecstatic.
One or two cards alone do not determine the quality of the player’s card skill and deck.
But the fact that he slapped the neighbouring card club in the face was praiseworthy.
"Sorry Henry Thompson."
"You’ve lost your best student."
"This is only the first round, and he’s going to be sent home by our Coach Shil."
"If I knew it was your student, I would have just asked him to go easy at the beginning."
"So, you don’t lose too ugly and ruin the friendship between our two clubs."
She patted Director Thompson’s shoulder, repeating almost word for word the words he had spoken earlier.
The more radiant and annoying Director Thompson’s smile had been earlier, the more radiant and annoying her smile was now.
"Hehehe..."
Director Thompson’s smile was stiff, thinking that we’re hurting feelings right now, aren’t we?
Watching Jason Hou surrender and the blue light barrier being lifted.
His mood was awful.
Lost to the Showcase Club who was last place in our city!
"Director Show, I’m not going to stick around today."
He stood up, and before leaving said, "I hope that when the city competition selections come around, we can meet your card club’s members again."
As these words left, Director Thompson felt much better and leisurely led his team away.
The city competition, a large-scale competition between card players from different cities.
Among them, card club players make up an important part of the participants.
However, the participants sent by the Showcase Club haven’t achieved anything for many rounds.
Not achieving anything is just a polite way of saying it.
The truth is, the card players they recommended couldn’t even compete for a place in the city representatives.
Compared to the city competition which happens once every three years, the local yearly Nova Championships are nothing.
So, Director Thompson’s words instantly threw Director Show’s face back into a frown.
"How about... I take part this year."
Watching the retreating figure of the opponent, she gritted her teeth and said.
"That won’t do, director."
Secretary Brown hurriedly stopped her.
The unspoken rules of the industry meant that senior figures such as directors won’t participate in the city competition.
