　　Common conception was that there were no strong or weak rules and meanings, this does not work for me, as far as I am concerned there were two types of rules, useful ones and the rest. I found differentiating the rules based on their usefulness to a card apprentice convenient and more understandable. After hearing Agatha say that the rule meaning we comprehend affects the rank of the physique and trait we require stepping into the card overlord realm, my idea of the rules became firm and more resolved than before because if a said rule meaning cannot give a good physique or trait then its usefulness is questionable.

　　"I am getting to it. Why do you have to act so uptight? As if indulging in a little foolhardy will cost you a fortune," seeing that I continued to remain silent about my ego gem's synchronization rate, Agatha was annoyed and called out to me saying I am being too uptight. Hearing that I couldn't help but think, 'As a semi-demigod, you should be more uptight with a junior and not act like- whatever this is.' 

　　As if Agatha had heard my inner monologue she coughed and then continued with the explanation. This time around her voice was not as laid back as before and sounded more serious making me wonder if Agatha had heard my inner monologue. 

　　Agatha who was hiding in the shadow of her protectee glanced into his eyes and felt them questioning her, 'Where is your majesty as semi-demigod?' 

　　Feeling this Agatha could not help but think she was getting overly friendly and familiar with this rude high schooler, and could not help but wonder why was that. Was it the charm of his rudeness? Shaking her head and letting go of useless thoughts Agatha continued with an explanation in a severe tone, "When I said that the rule meaning we comprehend affects the rank of the physique and trait we require stepping into the card overlord realm, I meant the rule affinity between card apprentice and a rule.

　　It is not that the rules themselves discriminate between their card apprentice but the affinity of a rule with the said card apprentice was what affected the physique and trait they would acquire stepping into the card overlord realm. 

　　Since you have forged an ego gem you should know what rule affinity is right? It is nothing but the rules you feel the first time you enter the one with the world state. Those rules are the rules which have the most affinity with you. 

　　If you comprehend one of those rules to ultimate mastery before breaking through to the card overload realm then depending upon your synchronization rate you will be able to extract the maximum benefit concerning the physique or trait you were supposed to gain stepping into the card overlord realm."

　　Hearing that it wasn't the rules themselves being partial but their affinity with the said card apprentice was what that affected the physique or trait they gain, I couldn't help but wonder how can a card apprentice gain an ultimate mastery in a rule with they do not have an affinity with before stepping into card overlord realm. One has to know that comprehension of rules with affinity was not easy but for a card apprentice to comprehend a rule meaning which has no affinity with them to ultimate mastery was even more difficult and time-consuming, not to mention was that even possible? 

　　With that in my mind I asked Agatha, "-" but before I could ask her, as if she knew what I was wondering she said, "Compression of rules with no affinity to is possible. There are many ways out there for a card apprentice to comprehend rules and their meaning to ultimate mastery regardless of their affinity with them.

　　It will be easier with an example, let's take the Yin-Yang harmony sect that the Yin widow belonged to. They have a way to let all their members comprehend the silent rule. Though they have the means to let their members comprehend silent rules regardless of their affinity not many of them can comprehend them even if they did they can't achieve a high mastery as despite the special means, it takes a lot of dedication, hard work, and patience on the card apprentice's part. 

　　Yin-Yang harmony sect isn't the only one, there are many other sects, clans, and secret families with special means that allow their members to comprehend a rule regardless of their affinity. The southern royal family is one of them, I have heard they have a lot of hidden heritage sites left behind by their ancestors which allow them to comprehend various well-known but rare rules. If you're lucky, maybe Anna will take you to one of those hidden heritage sites." 

　　From Agatha's explanation of the special means to comprehend rules regardless of the affinity, I could not help but think of Bloodette, the blood rock cave dungeon, the blood rule rocks, and the Blood rule pills created by Bloodette. 

　　The blood rule pills allowed my calamity daughter gems to comprehend the blood rule regardless of their affinity. And the rocks in the Blood Rock cave gate dungeon ooze with blood rule, they were soaked in blood rule so long that they inherited the blood rule as their characteristic. Turning the Blood rock cave gate dungeon into a holy place to comprehend blood rule where with enough detection and patience, anyone can comprehend the blood rule within it regardless of their blood rule affinity. 

　　I don't know if the blood rock cave gate dungeon is one of the hidden heritage sites that Agatha spoke of but It appears that there were many places like the blood rock cave gate dungeon and the ones that were known to humanity seem to be under the control of the government, royal family, sects, clans, and secret families. 

　　Considering that Blood Rock Cave was in the southern region and was not known to the southern royal family, it is possible that there were many more such places out there not known to humanity waiting to be discovered.
