Card simulation, starting with the Goblin Deserter

Hayes stepped onto the stage, and the feeling of constraint from the boxing gloves made him frown slightly.

This not only limited his techniques in "free fighting" such as grabbing, grappling, and throwing, but also made him feel his power being suppressed invisibly the moment he stepped onto the stage, pulling him down to the same level as Gentry.

But he calmed down. After countless simulations of facing death, this little thing did not affect his mindset at all.

Hayes looked at Gentry across from him and chuckled sarcastically.

"Fatty, have you ever been in a fight? Like, a real fight."

Gentry was taken aback by the question, and his face darkened.

"Are you looking down on me? I admit your strength is terrifying, but on the same level, I'm not an opponent you can easily defeat."

After saying that, he lowered his head, braced his right fist on the ground, and assumed a professional sumo wrestling stance!

The butler, pointing proudly at Gentry, exclaimed from the audience, "Young Master used to practice sumo wrestling all the time when he was a child!"

"Every time he did poorly on a test at school, he would be punished by his master to train his physical strength when he got home. If he hadn't later awakened his talent as a card master, he would definitely have become an excellent sumo wrestler!"

Gentry's lips twitched, and he said irritably.

"You talk too much!"

At this moment, King, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, also spoke up to stir up the emotions of the audience.

Hayes also became serious, adjusting his breathing and pace to prepare for battle.

Just as King conjured a gong, preparing to announce the start of the match, Soraka appeared in front of him without his knowledge.

She looked up at the towering King, pointed at the ring, and said firmly, "It's not fair!"

Upon hearing this, King was taken aback, and then he explained.

"If we don't bring Hayes down in terms of physique, this boxing match will become one-sided, and then the show won't be very interesting."

However, Soraka shook her head.

"I mean, their weight classes are unfair!"

"All boxing events divide fighters into weight classes, such as featherweight, lightweight, and heavyweight..."

"Without being able to use cards, that guy weighs almost twice as much as Hayes, and you've also limited Hayes's strength—that's completely unfair!"

"In boxing, every pound of flesh can potentially determine the outcome of a match!!"

Under the spotlight, Soraka's eyes were unusually determined!

Hayes instructed her before she went on stage that if things went wrong, she should raise questions about the unfairness of the match and stir things up!

But he didn't expect that Soraka would actually find something unfair about the boxing match from the perspective of "weight class"!

These words really stunned King, and even the goblins in the audience started whispering among themselves.

In reality, they don't know anything about featherweight or lightweight. Fighting in the goblin world is inherently unfair. If you encounter a lion or tiger in the wild, are you going to make them go back and lose weight before you fight them?

However, Soraka's tone was simply too convincing, and she exuded the aura of a "top student," which won over these goblins whose heads were no bigger than almonds.

"She's right! We want to see a fair game!" a goblin close to the stands shouted at the top of its lungs.

Immediately afterwards, more and more goblins started making a ruckus!

"Rematch! Rematch!"

This gave King a real headache, but after thinking about it, he realized Soraka was right, so he could only wave his hand.

"You're right, little girl. Then I'll bring them all to the same level!"

A sliver of light shot from King's fingertip into Hayes' chest.

The next second, Hayes's figure suddenly grew taller! His original height of just over 1.8 meters suddenly reached nearly 2 meters, and at the same time, his limbs also grew in tandem with his height!

Hayes, who had perfectly digested his extra weight into every corner of his body, looked at Gentry like a basketball player watching a high school student!

"You can do that?" Hayes waved his arm in surprise, feeling no discomfort whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Gentry was completely numb!

He looked up at Hayes, his earlier imposing aura vanished, and his standard sumo wrestling stance now felt noticeably weak in the knees.

Enraged, he pointed at the enlarged Hayes and demanded of King, "Look at this! Is this fair?"

"Why is it that we weigh the same, but he's so much taller than me? Couldn't you have made him grow horizontally like me?!"

However, King shook his head and decisively refused: "If you look like that, Hayes wouldn't be handsome."

Gentry:...

"Alright, then I hereby declare the competition officially open..."

"Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong now?"

King was getting impatient. He turned his body and looked coldly at the butler who had spoken.

"You'd better not be spouting nonsense."

Meeting King's unfriendly gaze, the butler shivered, but he still forced himself to speak.

"Young Master's height... he's much shorter than Hayes now, which will be a huge disadvantage in boxing!"

Those in the know understand that taller fighters have a significant advantage in boxing!

King listened with a sullen face, pondered for a long time, and then waved his hand impatiently.

Gentry's height increased rapidly, growing until he was more than half a head taller than Hayes before stopping.

Seeing this, Soraka became unhappy and pointed at Gentry's calf, which hadn't changed much.

"His legs haven't changed, and his center of gravity is lower than Hayes', giving him an advantage in close-quarters combat!"

The butler also risked his life to gain an advantage for Gentry.

"Hays has a longer reach than the young master, giving him a distance advantage in a fight!"

Soraka shouted, "Gentry is so tall, he's almost a head taller than Hayes!"

The butler complained, "Why is my young master's growth so uneven? He'll easily fall over like this!"

"..."

To everyone's surprise, the two boxers started arguing even before the fight began.

As each question of "unfairness" was raised, King's right hand waved repeatedly.

The thousands of goblins in the arena were like a vast expanse of weather vanes, their heads bobbing in turn with the movements of the two fighters on the stage.

As Hayes and Gentry grow larger and taller, they are about to become two-person Ultramen!

King, unable to bear it any longer, finally flipped the table and said, "I'm done!"

If this continues, this detective show will turn into a comedy!

"Now, no one is allowed to make any demands of me!!"

King raised his hands and clenched them tightly. In an instant, the stadium, where countless goblins had gathered, fell silent. Only when he released his hands did everyone feel the binding force on their throats dissipate.

He waved his hand again, and the two people on the stage who were almost afraid of heights immediately returned to normal.

"The original rules remain unchanged; the match now begins!"

A sudden gong sound!

To everyone's surprise, Gentry, who had just been dizzy and looked to be in very poor condition, suddenly rushed towards Hayes the moment King struck the gong!

Beneath his fleshy, large face, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, revealing that he had long ago planned to strike first!

"No matter what, I, Gentry, will never die here!"
