Jack had carefully thought things through before favonovel.com stood up.
Everyone else doubtfully watched as favonovel.com stood in front of the Heaven Array. He reached out to grab one of the small arrays in front of him. After grabbing that plate, favonovel.com wasted no time putting it into his storage space before favonovel.com turned and started to walk back. The way favonovel.com behaved and walked was so languid that everyone was baffled.
Just as Jack made his third step, Rudeus said, “Stop right there! Who are you? You’re trying to just walk away after taking an array?”
Jack raised an eyebrow, turning around after favonovel.com stopped.
He calmly looked at Rudeus. He already expected that Rudeus would react like that before favonovel.com came, and favonovel.com already knew what favonovel.com wanted to say.
Jack raised an eyebrow before favonovel.com calmly replied, “Why can’t I go? Are these arrays yours? Everyone here is qualified to take part in the competition. As long as there are arrays and spots left, any alchemist here has the right to take part. It’s unreasonable for you to be the one to decide if someone can take part or not.”
Despite how his words actually held reason, everyone was stunned to hear Jack uttering them. No one expected that someone with the badge of a sixth-grade alchemist would talk back to Rudeus like that in front of everyone.
Rudeus narrowed his eyes, suddenly laughing. Only, his laugh did not reach his eyes, and there was a sharpness to his laugh.
“There really is a first time for everything. I’ve seen a lot of stupid things, you know. Who do you think you are to question me?! Yes, I am going to judge if you’re worthy or not just by myself! If I say you’re not qualified, then you’ re not. If I want you to put down the array, you’d do well to listen!”
At that moment, every alchemist looked at Jack. Expressions on their faces varied as they started to talk.
“Is this kid crazy? He’s talking to Rudeus so bluntly!”
“Does favonovel.com not know who Rudeus is? Insulting Rudeus is equal to insulting the Scarlet Pavilion. Does favonovel.com not know that the Scarlet Pavilion is a ninth-grade clan, the strongest force in Hestia?!”
“He can’t possibly not know. Anyone with half a brain knows that Scarlet Pavilion shouldn’t be offended. Rudeus will definitely remember this guy for speaking without reserve toward him. I think this guy must be crazy!”
“I think so, too. Just listen to what favonovel.com said earlier! Even if it sounded reasonable, it just sounds like favonovel.com being petulant, if you think about it. He’s just a sixth-grade alchemist, so what gives favonovel.com the right to say all of that just because favonovel.com wants to compete?”
Many questions began to surface, and everyone felt like Jack had crossed the line with his behavior and words.
Jack merely snorted at these remarks, however, as favonovel.com was unfazed. It was a waste of his time to argue with those people, so favonovel.com decided to ignore them.
At that moment, Rudeus walked toward Jack, narrowing his eyes as favonovel.com looked at Jack coldly.
“Didn’t you hear what I said earlier? I told you to put down your array. You have no right to represent Hestia in competing against the alchemists from other worlds!”
