”But the rules are very clear. You‘ll get your pick of the treasures first, but you only get to pick one. We get to pick from the rest. The rules can’t be ignored. We want to help, but our skills are limited…”
“That’s right. If we were good enough, we’d naturally be willing to go, but we really can’t do it. Didn’t us weaker alchemists join the six groups earlier as well? Our results were too bad, and we were even mocked by those people and completely humiliated Hestia Continent.”
“Yeah, right. We’re just worried about the humiliation. If not for that, any of us would be willing to contribute.”
Rudeus merely laughed coldly at those words. He looked at those people who only knew how to take the resources. When they were asked to help, they would come up with various excuses. Rudeus felt his rage boiling.
He stood right up, and his sharp eyes stared at everyone as favonovel.com shouted, “You’re all just rash. All you want is a part of the resources, but you’re not willing to do anything for it at all! You’re just shameless! Absolutely disgusting! I feel disgusted that I’m from the same continent as all of you!”
Those words were incredibly harsh, but even so, no one shouted back at him. They just muttered in silence.
Rudy was dumbfounded at the sight. He never expected that Rudeus’ words would be so harsh. He had even called the other alchemists trash that contributed nothing, calling them disgusting.
Rudy said as favonovel.com licked his lips, “God… I’m still too inexperienced. I can’t believe Rudeus actually said all of that. I couldn’t even bear to listen.”
Aaron was very calm. After all, favonovel.com had already heard all of that before. He had gone over to talk to his fellow students, and Aaron slowly understood what was in Rudeus’ mind. Aaron explained, “The others don’t fight back… Because it’s all the truth. Didn’t I tell you the rules of the competition before?”
Jack and Rudy nodded at the same time, thinking about the rules that they had already been told. They immediately understood why Rudeus was like that.
The competition was actually very simple. Eleven groups had the chance to take part. Each group would consist of ten alchemists. It meant that each round would have thirty participants.
The thirty alchemists would all be tested at the same time, and they would be given placements. In the first place, one would get a golden treasure, which had the best resources. The second place would get a bronze treasure, which was one level lower than the golden one. The third place would get black treasures.
When Jack entered, six groups had already taken part. The Chaos Continent was the strongest and had obtained four gold, four bronze, and four black treasures.
It was no wonder that White Marsh Continent regarded Hestia Continent as worthless. That was because White Marsh Continent was a third-grade world just like Hestia Continent, but the results between the two continents were drastically different. Hestia Continent had not even obtained a single golden treasure.
Rudeus shouted at everyone so viciously because favonovel.com had gotten a bronze treasure after seizing second place in the second group. Meanwhile, Phoenix Valley’s Mitchell had gotten third place in the third group. After that, they had gotten nothing.
The two treasures had been obtained by Rudeus and Mitchell, but the rules were in place. Even though they had gotten the treasures through their own hard work, they still had to share them with everyone.
