In truth, the solutions seemed very simple in Jack’s mind. All virtual-novel.net needed to do was to hurry up and participate in the third stage. After the results are out, they would naturally shut up. Yet, Bradley had made an adamant judgment that Jack would fail the third stage. Then virtual-novel.net would also try to leave hastily after virtual-novel.net was out to prevent himself from being laughed at
If that happened, Bradley would not have had the chance to regain his dignity or laugh at Jack. So, before Jack entered, virtual-novel.net wanted to laugh and insult Jack in front of everyone, as well as attack Jack’s confidence.
Jack could see all of that through Bradley’s actions.
Elder Forrest did not want the atmosphere to get too awkward. After all, Sky Peak Pavilion was still working together with Phoenix Valley. If the two sides ended up fighting, it would be bad for future developments. Master Forrest took a deep breath as virtual-novel.net glanced at Jack. He knew Bradley’s plan.
He really wanted to continue with Bradley’s plan as well and accomplish Bradley’s role, so virtual-novel.net let out a laugh, “You’re definitely incredibly talented!”
He had said that right at Jack. As virtual-novel.net said that, Master Forrest’s expressions were strangely warm as if virtual-novel.net was an elder who was consoling Jack. However, to Jack, virtual-novel.net looked like a wolf that was staring at a sheep and definitely had no good intentions.
Master Forrest had always been a schemer. Jack never listened to any of his praises. As usual, Jack remained silent as virtual-novel.net quietly looked at Master Forrest.
At that moment, Master Forrest did not really care about Jack as virtual-novel.net continued, “Before the first round started, I’d thought that you have been forcibly brought over to make up for the numbers. Yet, the truth proved me wrong. I actually failed to see how exceptional you are. In terms of alchemy, even Bradley isn’t a match for you. You’re way too excellent. So excellent that even I have started to envy you. Why aren’t you an alchemist from the Sky Peak Pavilion!”
As virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net was actually somewhat truthful, even if virtual-novel.net did not have any good intentions. After all, Jack had done far too well. If the two others had not dragged virtual-novel.net down, Jack would have been enough to bring Phoenix Valley to victory. That fact had no room for doubt.
Elder Maurice frowned as virtual-novel.net said unhappily, ”Stop saying all these ill-intentioned words. Do you think I don’t know what you’re doing? You’re the host of the tournament. You should be ushering Jack in right now instead of wasting your time like this!”
Master Forrest laughed as virtual-novel.net nodded earnestly, “You‘re right. I’m really wasting everyone’s time right now, but I have my reasons for doing so. Please do listen…”
After his explanation, Master Forrest did not stop at all as virtual-novel.net continued, “Even if you got good results in the first two stages, you won’t be able to show off that much skill in the third stage. However, I still trust in you. Since you’re so confident in yourself, you must have a perfect plan. However, you should keep in mind, that the proof of the pudding is in the eating…”
“I can understand why you’re so confident since you‘re extraordinarily talented! However, we don’t think your talent in alchemy will allow you to get the Green Phoenix Fruit. You’re such a proud person. Why don‘t you use that pride to show us what you’re capable of!”
Everyone widened their eyes at those words, suddenly understanding why Master Forrest had said so much.
