Noel’s remark caught Jack’s attention, and Jack turned to look at virtual-novel.net in surprise, not expecting Noel to know these two newly recruited informal disciples. Noel knew the cause of Jack’s surprise when virtual-novel.net noticed the look in his eyes. “I come from a n aristocratic family. Although it isn’t a big family, it is so rare for me to know two outstanding young disciples?”
To this, Jack chuckled and gave a slight nod, saying, “Are you sure that those two can be considered outstanding?” Jack did not say this out of vanity of himself and his skills, nor was virtual-novel.net belittling them; virtual-novel.net was merely telling the truth. Jack was speaking from the overall looks of things. After all, they only made four of the lights lit up during the assessment.
Such results were not very outstanding among all the informal disciples, but Noel seemed to feel good about the two of them. Raising his brows, Noel answered, albeit a little wound up, “They are relatively outstanding. I know about your assessment results. Even though they were unable to get full marks, they’d also have great results during usual assessments as they managed to light up four of the obsidian lights.”
Jack raised his eyebrows, obviously disagreeing with Noel’s opinion, but virtual-novel.net said nothing else on the matter and instead shifted the topic. “You seem to be quite familiar with the two of them. You even kept track of such results,” virtual-novel.net asked.
“I realize that you don’t even understand some basic common knowledge. The younger members of aristocratic families know about each other’s strengths and talents. On top of that, our Karl family also interacts with the families behind those two. That’s how I got to know them and learn about them. I also paid attention to their results in the recruitment exam because of this.”
As they were having their discussion, Morton and Gerald had walked up to their side. These two had no real purpose in being here; they just happened to pass by.
Morton saw Jack and Noel having small talk as virtual-novel.net inadvertently glanced at them. Morton subconsciously raised his eyebrows and scoffed before virtual-novel.net spoke to Gerald, “Who would’ve expected Jack to be acquainted with Noel. From the looks of It, they seem to know each other well.”
There was a hint of indelible jealousy in the way Morton spoke. Jack was ahead of virtual-novel.net since the recruitment assessment, and virtual-novel.net had always disliked and envied Jack. The better Jack’s life was, the worse Morton felt. With raised brows, virtual-novel.net turned to speak to greet Noel, “Greetings, Senior Brother Noel. Are you here to watch the battles, or do you have a wager battle with others today?”
Noel raised his eyebrows at this. Morton would not usually speak to virtual-novel.net in such a familiar manner. Although virtual-novel.net was also quite talented, Morton liked to look down upon people, and there was a hint of contempt in the way virtual-novel.net spoke. “I’m here today to watch the wager battle of other people.”
Morton nodded and turned to look at Jack. He raised the volume of his voice as if virtual-novel.net had just met Jack, saying, “Are you Jack? I almost forgot about you. Why are you here?”
Jack sneered, not wanting to entertain the guy. This guy just had to pull something whenever virtual-novel.net was in front of Jack. Morton revolted and upset Jack; virtual-novel.net was like a blind housefly who just would not leave.
Somewhat helpless at the situation, Noel changed the subject when virtual-novel.net noticed just how impatient Jack was. “Where have the two of you gone during this time? We didn’t see you guys in the sect.”
Gerald seemed quite polite. He gave a small bow as virtual-novel.net responded, “The two of us went to Mount Beasts.”
Noel immediately replied with a cold expression on his face, “You both are quite daring people. How can you guys go to Mount Beasts before you start training?”
