The Whiteburn family wasn't the only one, even the Bright family and some of the other prominent families seemed to have gotten the list of participants and their personal info. I also received the list last night as the Bright brothers forwarded me the list that they had received from the Bright family. Was this cheating no, Yes the weak family and humble background participants were at a disadvantage but nobody ever stopped them from trying to get the list. I bet that they never thought that something like this was even available and lifted their asses to participate in the tournament hoping that the circumstance worked in their favour.

I did not have a prejudice against the small family or humble background participants but I was merely stating the fact because most of them may even be thinking it's against the rules to gather information on participants before the tournament. This is the difference between rich and poor. The poor only know to work hard and hope but the rich know to work hard and be smart.

"Isn't it a common courtesy for the participant to introduce themselves to their opponents before Card duel? What is your name?" Duke was pretty adamant about hearing Pax speak his name.

"You can read right, Our name is written on the jumbotron, read it yourself." Pax knew better than falling for Duke's chivalry and nonsense BS.

"It seems you know about my Origin card. Well, it doesn't matter since I have already met half of the conditions and can make use of the additional effects." Hearing the response Duke realised that his opponent knew about his origin card.

Card Effect: The host can attack the enemy unit while avoiding their physical and magical defence if the following conditions are met,

1.The enemy unit should reveal his/her name to the host.

2. Names of the enemy units should be whispered to the origin card.

3. Races of the enemy units should be whispered to the origin card.

Additional effect: Homing, Follow to the end of the world.]

Homing: the ability to find and hit an enemy unit whose race is whispered to the origin card.

Restriction: the enemy should be within sight of the host when activating this effect.

Follow to the end of the world: To follow an enemy unit whose name and race is whispered to the origin card anywhere, including the most remote or inaccessible places.

Restriction: the enemy should be within sight of the host when activating this effect.

Note: under this effect, the enemy unit cannot use any form of teleportation.

"Do you think that will matter? You should have seen my origin card in action right, if not then feast your eyes." Saying that Pax chanted activating his origin card,

"Iron Flesh, Third Form." Within a matter of a second Pax turned into a 21-meter tall Mecha, and took off in the air spreading its angelic wings. Raising gasps and examination from the audience most of them had already seen this in news and broadcast of the Whiteburn family deathmatch but the real thing was more awe-inspiring to behold.

"I give up." Seeing the greatness and majesty of the huge-ass puppet/golem in the sky Duke looked at the Light Now he was he had just summoned and shaking his head he surrendered.

If his origin card details were not revealed Duke could have KOed his opponent in under 30 seconds. Duke knew where it all went wrong. It was when he registered his origin card details in school records for a full scholarship. Turns out the school records are not as confidential as they claimed them to be. Through this card duel, Duke finally realised that having fallen prey to the greed of money he had made a huge mistake that would possibly haunt him all his card apprentice career. But he did not regret any of it as it had to be done, he could not see them suffer anymore.

Duke Bania was from a small merchant family, Though his family was merchant family both his parents were bottom level in the family and had to work 16 hours a day in the family shops to put him through a private school thankfully his hard work had paid as he reached the Card Soldier realm before reaching 18 years of age and had created a mystery/ranged origin card. Which gained him a full scholarship rebating all the money which his parents paid for his education at a prestigious private high school over the years but this required him to register his origin card and its effects in school records which in turn lead to his loss in the first round of the tournament.

Having won his match Pax unsummoned Iron flesh and returned to the VIP box. Where all hell broke loose on him,

"What the hell were you thinking going all out for a simple battle, you could have used the first tier of your origin card and the combat skills I trained you in to defeat your opponent instead you had to show off, how many times have told you not to rely on your origin card." Eliza went full-on training master on Pax who had returned to the VIP box with a victorious smile
