He nodded and replied excitedly, “Yes! We won! We have completely won! We got three hundred and fifty points more than they did!”
They had thought that defeat was certain, but managed to gain a surprise victory. Even though it was only the first part of the competition, Jack’s results proved that they would definitely win if virtual-novel.net continued!
With that in mind, Elder Maurice looked up at Master Forrest. The moment virtual-novel.net thought of how often Master Forrest had mocked him, virtual-novel.net felt his anger soaring. Now that virtual-novel.net had the chance, virtual-novel.net would not let it go.
“Master Forrest, your eyes really are sharp. I wasn’t like you and could not tell how special Jack was at a glance. He was able to beat you so decisively. Even though Bradley performed quite well, he’s still a distance away from Jack! It’s all thanks to you for saying all of those words to console us. It led me to believe that Jack was someone extraordinary!”
After Elder Maurice said that, Master Forrest almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had thought that Sky Peak Pavilion would definitely win this time. Not only would they be able to gain a lot of resources, but they would also be able to bolster their reputation. The moment the tournament was over, virtual-novel.net would spread the results far and wide.
The fact that Sky Peak Pavilion stood on top of Phoenix Valley would definitely cause them to be regarded much higher by everyone else in the future. After all, Phoenix Valley was at the core of the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance. It was a place dedicated to cultivating alchemists. However, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry, so Jack had not been crazy after all.
Jack had been so calm and had said so many strange things completely because virtual-novel.net had been confident in his own talent and ability.
Jack let out a smile as virtual-novel.net looked at Master Forrest, “Thank you so much for the earlier praises. I have absolute confidence in myself as well. The Sky Peak Pavilion has talented alchemists, but they aren’t really much to me.”
Jack was no idiot. Of course, virtual-novel.net knew that Master Forrest’s earlier words had all been to humiliate him, so virtual-novel.net had the perfect chance to fight back.
Master Forrest was so angry that his whole body shook. He almost collapsed on the floor at that moment, but thankfully Bradley was right next to virtual-novel.net and reached up to help the swaying man. At that moment, Bradley’s expression finally changed a little. From the moment Jack announced his results, Bradley suddenly had a sharp expression on his face as virtual-novel.net stared right at Jack’s condensing card.
After Master Forrest steadied himself, Bradley finally said, “You completed a lot of very hard pill runes. You really are quite skilled. Why do you still have a sixth-grade alchemist badge? You should already have been a seventh-grade alchemist with your capabilities a long time ago. Why do you need to do that…”
Bradley frowned as virtual-novel.net said all of that. He felt like Jack was someone who enjoyed fooling others. Jack clearly had skills that far exceeded a regular seventh-grade alchemist, so why did virtual-novel.net still have a sixth grade alchemist badge on?
Bradley refused to believe it was not intentional.
Jack frowned as virtual-novel.net replied to Bradley’s questioning look, “I’ve never taken part in the seventh-grade alchemist test, so I naturally won’t have the badge. What does the badge on my chest have anything to do with anyone else? I haven’t been in Phoenix Valley for that long. Even those from Phoenix Valley don’t really know me, so stop looking at me with that accusing look. If you have lost, then you have lost! Are you refusing to admit defeat?”
