Card Apprentice Daily Log-Chapter 1344 Chris Ainsworth

Date- 7 April 2321

Time- 11:39

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

Chris Ainsworth leisurely conducted the card creation process not bothered by the crowd's gazes despite his beggar attire and his body smelling like filth, while the card creationist representing the southern card creationist association was sweating bullets. 

Poor guy was shouldering the weight of the southern region's honor so it was understandable. Whereas, Chris Ainsworth did not even seem to be that interested in the challenge or more like he was bored facing subpar competitors. 

In a way, it felt like Chris was putting up a show and the crowd was chewing up the content of his show with a hoot. The idea of a common man challenging a big organization like the Southern Card Creationist Association was proven entertainment gold. 

Showing the citizen's dissatisfaction with the big organizations monopolizing the card market. Unlike the Royal family that stepped up to protect the citizens during the monster war, the big organizations profited from the war by selling their services for a steep price. 

If not for the southern royal family needing these organizations to develop the southern region and help it keep up with changing times, these organizations would have been punished severely for profiting off the monster war. It was another thing that a month later the monster war the royal family raided all the big organizations and confiscated their gains to stabilize the southern region's economy. 

But that was not enough to erase the citizen's anger towards the big organizations. Because of their anger, many Southerners failed to notice that the beggar from the West was not just embarrassing the Southern card creationist association with his challenge but the entire Southern region. 

Ignoring the crowd's reaction, I focused my gaze on the challenger, "Interesting."

"What is it, did you notice something?" Ann immediately asked me wondering if I caught the challenger cheating or something. 

"Yes, I did notice something. This Chris Ainsworth has morphed his appearance with an ultimate tier rune. But, I cannot tell what rule his rune belongs to. Maybe if I get closer my ego gem can pick up on the rule of his rune," I explained to Ann. 

"He has morphed his appearance. Master Wyatt, are you sure?" the director asked in doubt. 

Many card emperors and card semi-demigods were monitoring this challenge, especially the challenger, none of them found anything wrong with the challenger's appearance but the boy took on look at the challenger's and declared that the challenger had morphed its appearance. So, the director was finding it hard to believe the boy's words. 

"Well, he is handsome for a beggar," Agatha commented. Then feeling the gaze of everyone in the VIP box on her, she defended, "I just said what every girl present here was thinking."

"I wasn't," Laura suddenly pointed out that she only had room for the way of the sword in her mind.

"Agatha, so this is your type," Aba chimed in. 

"I think I have seen that face somewhere," I said ignoring the nonsense of the girls while I asked the Hive AI to use facial recognition on the real face of Chris Ainsworth that Hive AI generated using his soul pathways arrangement. 

"Wyatt, you know him?" Ann asked. 

"No, not the fake appearance he has taken but his real appearance," I replied. As Hive AI continued to match Chris's real appearance that it generated using his soul pathways arrangement with every 17-year-old boy I came across in this world. 

"A grandmaster with ultimate tier rune and exceptional card creation mastery, there is no way this Chris Ainsworth is some random card creationist from the West. Since he has chosen to hide his appearance then he is trying to hide something," Ann then turned to the director and ordered, "Try contacting your contacts at the western card creationist association, I want every little information about this Chris Ainsworth." 

'So, we are just going to go with the boy's words then?' the director wondered seeing Ann go along with the boy's judgment without any evidence to suggest it. 

"Chris Ainsworth might not be the name he goes with so get me a list of every 17-year-old card creationist registered at the western card creationist association with the name Chris. I want his picture," I instructed the auction house director. 

"..." the director paused not knowing if he should follow through with what the boy just instructed him. Only to get moving to hear Ann yell, "Do as he says, fast." 

"Yes, your highness," the director immediately agree but then added, "So, Master Wyatt will you be representing the southern card creationist association in the next round?" 

It was not that the auction house director was underestimating the current card creationist representing the South in the challenge but Chris had already created his card while the South's representative was still struggling to create his card. It was already clear to whom the victory belonged. 

"Yes, I will," I already planned to help the Southern card creationist association as a gratitude to the Southern Royal family for their hospitality. As for learning what rule Chris was using, it was a bonus. 

An ultimate tier rune that allowed a card grandmaster to hide his appearance from the card emperors and card semi-demigods, I need to know which rule was capable of something like that. It would make a good addition to my arsenal. 

This rule was not for me but my calamity daughter gems as I already had Mike Brown's Myriad Devil Body card for disguise. Yes, I could use Myriad Devil Hex to morph the calamity daughter gems into any appearance I want but I think they will be more comfortable using a rune than being cursed. 

"Now, this is going to be fun to watch," Agatha commented. 

"I know right," Aba agreed while Laura also nodded in agreement. Though she was not aware of the boy's capabilities Luara knew that the boy had created her incredible origin card, which was a testament to what he was capable of and enough for her to believe that he will wipe the floor with Chris Ainsworth.
