Looking at the cluster of soul pathways resembling the soul pathway arrangement of Agatha hiding in my shadow, I said, "You are here early." 

"I had to, your sugar mama was kicking up a fuss," Agatha complained in dissatisfaction that Anna chased her out of the warehouse without letting her savor the delicious pancake breakfast that she had cooked. 

"Stop whining, if you want to whine and mop, then go find yourself a capable sugar daddy to whine to," I was in no mood to hear how overprotective Anna taught Agatha one or two lessons about being a bodyguard. 

"You rude jerk," Agatha uttered and then asked, "How did you find me?" 

Agatha was surprised to see her protectee found her hiding in his shadows in mere seconds. Even her semi-demigod colleagues had a hard time noticing her presence when she used her card Haunted Shadow, yet her card soldier realm protectee was able to sense her presence in seconds. Agatha was impressed and couldn't help but think that this little protectee of her never cease to impress her. If only he were not so rude, sigh, guess all genius have their quirks. 

"You hid your presence pretty well but once you entered my shadow the vibration of soul pathways in my surroundings changed, especially the vibration of the soul pathways of my shadow. With what you reminded me about your card's ability, it wasn't hard for me to guess that the change in the vibration of the surrounding was because of you," I explained to Agatha hoping that she understands that her card was not invincible, many prominent card creationist and array master were sensitive about soul pathways so for them feeling Agatha's presence among them through the change in the vibrations of the soul pathways in their surrounding was possible. 

Theoretically detecting Agatha's presence through the change in the vibration of the soul pathways in the surrounding was easy but for it to be put into practice, the said card creationist or array master had to be very good at sensing the soul pathways, even with the gore bat earbone card, it would be hard for them to discern the minute disturbances and changes in the soul pathway. After all, there was a limit to how much a D-rank card could do, there were other high-grade card ingredients with similar abilities but they were scarcer and highly regulated than the D-rank Gore bat earbone and core. Yet, I was able to put this into practice because the ability I extracted from Gore bat and added to my calamity soul gem had undergone baptism and its capability had risen considerably to match that of the soul pupils. 

"So, it was just a guess and I gave myself away," Agatha said after hearing my explanation of how I was able to find her. It was the opposite of the lesson I wanted her to learn about her card. 

"Yes, pretty much," I gave up on trying to help Agatha understand what I was implying with my explanation. I had already said what there was to be said how much Agatha will learn from it was up to her. 

"Well, I did not know that card creationist and array masters were capable of this. Thanks by the way," It seems I was worrying for nothing, Agatha did get what I was trying to imply. 

"Don't mention it," I said then after a pause I added, "Hey Agatha, what do you know about gaining a physique or a trait after breaking into Card overlord realm?" 

"Why do you ask me and not your sugar mama? Was she not willing to answer you?" Agatha didn't directly answer my question but instead savored the moment by taking cheap shots at my ambiguous relationship with Anna. 

"..." I did want to ask Anna about gaining a physique or a trait after breaking into Card overlord realm at our breakfast date earlier but I couldn't bring myself to do that Anna, she seemed to be enjoying the breakfast, and I did not want to ruin it by bringing work to it, "Leave it, I will find somebody else to ask about it," 

"Angry? Good," Agatha commented, adding, "I didn't say that I was not willing to talk about it. Ask, what do you want to know?" 

I ignored Agatha and continued to fiddle with my grimoire. Seeing the young card creationist ignore her, Agatha was annoyed and began her monologue on gaining a physique or a trait after breaking into the Card overlord realm, she did not care if the rude high schooler was listening to her or not, "It is indeed possible to gain a physique or a trait after breaking into Card overlord realm, but there are two conditions to be satisfied to achieve that." 

Seeing still no reaction from the card creationist Agatha continued with her explanation, "The conditions to be met to gain a physique or a trait after breaking into Card overlord realm are,

1. Forging your ego gem in the card lord realm before trying to break into the card overlord realm. This step is mandatory as the second step is impossible without an ego gem and because the physique and trait to be gained have a lot to do with a card apprentice's ego gem.

2. Achieving ultimate mastery in one of the rule meanings, as the acquired physique or trait will be derived from this rule meaning. 

If these two conditions are met, one can gain a physique or a trait after breaking into Card overlord realm." 

Agatha paused to see if her explanation had managed to intrigue the rude high schooler but it did not his eyes seemed to be glued to his grimoire, letting out a sigh Agatha continued as she did not have the habit of leaving things halfway through, "The physique and traits gained vary depending up on the talent and rule meaning comprehended by the card apprentice. Since you have already formed your ego gem it will be easier for me to explain this to you."
