"Hey, come on, speak to me. You damned rude bastard, what about all the time you were rude to me? Did I not forgive you with a big heart?" Agatha finally cracked to the silent treatment from the rude high schooler. This was unlike her sophisticated retainer front when they first met. Agatha was used to talking to Aba when she hid in her shadows for hours. Now it has become a habit.

"Well, I don't have a big heart like yours," I said sarcastically. Hearing me finally speak up Agatha went quiet. Shaking my head thinking, 'What is wrong with these people they are hundreds of years old and still keep acting like children. I guess I will have to live it to understand them'

"Have it your way, how do a card apprentice's talent and their comprehended rule meaning affect the physique or trait gained for stepping into the card overlord realm," letting out a sigh I indulged Agatha and asked her about the factors affecting the quality of the physique or trait gained.

"Good, first you have to know that all the physique and trait that are not gained during the contracting of a grimoire but gained after forming the contract with the grimoire through various means are called acquired physique or trait," Agatha did not overplay her hand this time around, having learned her lesson Agatha stuck to explaining acquired physique and traits and the factors affecting them, "In case of the factors affecting the physique and trait acquired by stepping into card overlord realm are the card apprentices talent and the rule meaning they comprehended.

By talent I mean the synchronization rate of the card apprentices ego gem, remember how I said the physique or trait gained was mostly about the ego gem forged by card apprentice, well this was it.

For example, If a card apprentice's ego gem's synchronization rate is low, yet he somehow managed to comprehend a rule meaning to ultimate mastery before stepping into the card overlord realm, no matter how capable the comprehended rule meaning was the said card apprentice was going to get a low-level physique or trait. This was because the physique or trait was said to come from the world will, so a low synchronization rate means, the card apprentice has a low connection with the world will. This meant that no matter his achievements in the rule meaning comprehension he would be getting a low-rank physique or trait due to his ego gem having a low connection with the world's will."

"Now, that's a pity," I said hearing that the achievements in the rule meaning comprehension did not matter it was the synchronization rate of the card apprentice's ego gem that mattered the most.

"I know right, it is not easy for a card apprentice with a low synchronization rate to comprehend a rule meaning to the ultimate realm before stepping into the card overlord realm.

But if you understand how the world will bestow the physique and traits you will know that world's will is not at fault here. Consider the connection between the world will and the card apprentice as a tunnel, the wider and spacious the tunnel the bigger vehicles can move from the world to the card apprentice, in case the tunnel was narrower and congested, then only small vehicles can move from the world to the card apprentice.

Therefore no matter the achievement in rule meaning comprehension by a card apprentice with a low synchronization rate they will be awarded a low-rank physique or a trait.

But in the case of the card apprentice with a high synchronization rate their achievement in rule meaning comprehension matters as depending upon their achievement in rule meaning comprehension the world would award them with a varying rank of physique or a trait," Agatha explained how the card apprentice with high synchronization rate had more choice when it came to the matter of the rank of the physique or trait granted to them by the world.

Hearing Agatha's explanation of how the synchronization rate affected the physique and trait acquired by stepping into the card overlord realm, I nodded in understanding, no wonder Anna was so proud of her synchronization rate. And could not help but feel that I had hit a jackpot with calamity soul gem when it comes to this matter.

"Wyatt, if you don't mind me asking, what is your synchronization rate?" Hiding in the young card creationist's shadow Agatha monitored his expressions as she explained the effect of the ego gem's synchronization rate. Though the young card creationist had a strong poker face his micro-expressions and response to her explanation gave him away.

If the young card creationist had a low synchronization rate then he would have complained about unfairness instead he showed an expression of pity, not the joy of having a high synchronization rate but a pity for the people with a low synchronization rate. This response of the young card creationist made Agatha curious about how high the young card creationist's synchronization rate was for him to not celebrate but show pity for the rest, so could not help but ask him directly.

"Not high enough," I replied to Agatha's question.

"Huh, does that mean you have a high synchronization rate, well how much is it? I will tell you mine in exchange for yours," Agatha offered.

"Not interested," I shot down Agatha's offer without even considering it, as I had more to lose than to gain by taking her up on her offer.

"Don't be such a miser," Agatha pestered but seeing it not work she gave up saying, "Whatever you miser."

"Enough with that, how does the rule meaning we comprehended affect the rank of the physique or trait we acquire by stepping to the card overlord realm," I asked Agatha to quit playing around and continue with her explanation on how apart from synchronization rate, rule comprehended by the card apprentice can also affect the rank of the physique and trait acquired.
