The so-called slow pace wasn't about tactics being slow.
It was about dragging every operable phase of each round to the last possible moment.

Yet, this time, Ree Shil had waited almost 20 minutes, and not a single duel had concluded.
Fortunately, he had faced adversaries like the God of Patience, so this was just a minor scene for him.
At this very moment, at one of the 17 card tables.
The young man gazed at the card face before him, a bitter taste rising in his heart.
Because he recognized the cards of the opponent, who was remarkably a teammate from the Balance Representative Team.
In the current setup of the competition, facing a teammate was undoubtedly the worst outcome.
Especially for the young man, this was acutely true.
If he won, he would further cement his reputation as a Civil War God.
