Chapter 902 - 529: Shen Sui Is Not Proper

"..."When Shen Sui heard Vivian’s words, his first reaction was that she was joking.

After all, when he left, Freymia had just finished a tough battle and lost her second Promotion Tournament match, but when he returned, she had already lost?

Although he played a card game in between, the duel ended very quickly before he even finished reading his book, as the opponent had already conceded.

Could it be that Freymia lost even faster than someone who couldn’t hold out through one turn on the offensive?

Considering the break between the two matches of the Promotion Tournament, Freymia must have lost even faster.

After confirming Vivian’s affirmative expression, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Shen Sui’s face.

This was not only due to Freymia’s swift defeat, but also a panic over breaking their agreement.

"So, how did she lose?"

"The usual problem. The opponent went first, she misjudged their starting point, and used her trapping card too early," Vivian explained, "Then the opponent just snowballed from there."

Shen Sui opened his mouth, but it seemed difficult to say anything.

After all, in this world, there are no pie charts, no prevailing archetypes. All Life Card Masters have different decks; trying to trap an opponent’s starting point is indeed challenging, especially in an information-opaque competition like the Promotion Tournament. It’s completely normal.

Even Shen Sui often misjudged opponents’ starting points, but he had many cards, so if he was wrong, he could at worst forcibly turn the game around.

"So, where is Freymia?"

"She went back," Vivian said, "She said she needs to seclude herself and strive for a perfect win next time."

Alright then...

"So.... aren’t you going to comfort her?" Vivian tilted her head and smiled at Shen Sui.

Shen Sui instinctively grew wary, but upon closer inspection found that Vivian was sincere, with no intention of creating a Chaotic Scene.

The group, led by Qishala, almost instantly returned home.

The space ability of the Star Abyss White Dragon was truly very handy.

Freymia seemed genuinely upset; her door was tightly shut, even sealed with an Elf Race Secret Technique.

However, for Shen Sui, it wasn’t difficult at all, he easily opened the door without any effort.

But upon opening it, Shen Sui realized that, according to the usual comforting approach, shouldn’t he have been turned away at the door a few times before forcing his way in?

However, at this moment, he had already opened the door; looking at his hand on the doorknob, Shen Sui felt doubtful.

If he were to leave and close the door now, it might come off as pretentious.

Just as Shen Sui hesitated, Freymia’s impatient voice reached him, "Come in already, why are you standing at the door?"

Shen Sui awkwardly smiled and walked into Freymia’s room, "Sorry, I just instinctively..."

Freymia rolled her eyes at Shen Sui, "This is so you. In your so-called first playthrough, wasn’t I forcibly taken away and trained by you?"

Shen Sui, who just sat down, shuddered and was about to say something, but Freymia interrupted him.

In front of her, there seemed to be a duel mat with some cards placed on it; she appeared to be engaging in a simulated duel.

Simulating duels with oneself is quite common among Life Card Masters, as it allows one to perfectly simulate an opponent who can read all their thoughts, thereby enabling them to calculate all possible reactions from the opponent.

Of course, such simulated duels also have drawbacks, the most common being overthinking and imagining the opponent’s actions to be too complex, leading to missing the real opportunity.

"Since you’re here, help me see when I should use this card to interrupt the opponent’s move," Freymia said, drawing a card from her hand and handing it to Shen Sui.

Shen Sui looked at the card in his hand and then at the situation on the other side, seeming to guess something, asked, "Are you reviewing the last duel?"

Freymia said, "My skills aren’t weaker than the opponent’s, but since I lost, there must be a reason."

"It’s normal to lose since going first has an advantage if the skill levels are equal."

"I need to find the reason," Freymia reiterated.

Seeing Freymia’s determined eyes, Shen Sui knew that this Elf Empress really wanted to thoroughly review and find the reason for today’s duel loss.

Freymia must have started reviewing as soon as she returned.

She had just taken a bath, and was wrapped in a towel, her mostly fair skin glowed with a jade-like luster under the lamplight.

A faint fragrance entered Shen Sui’s nose as he approached Freymia.

"Alright, let me help you take a look."

Saying so, Shen Sui smoothly sat next to Freymia.

Freymia complained, "For a review, you’re supposed to sit opposite me, why are you next to me? This space only fits one person."

Shen Sui also noticed the issue, Freymia’s hips were not small; with the two squeezed together, the scene was a bit ambiguous.

"Alright." Shen Sui said, then lifted Freymia and placed her on his lap.

"Hey hey hey? You’re supposed to sit opposite me," Freymia said with a slightly flushed face, her body unconsciously squirming.

Shen Sui stated seriously, "It’s a review, don’t mind these little details."

Freymia glared at Shen Sui, muttering, "You’re taking advantage of me again," but in the end, she didn’t get off Shen Sui’s lap.
