The Genius Mage

Chapter 145 - Provocation

Chapter 145: Provocation

“In that case, I have to apologize to you for my rudeness just now,” The old man apologized.

Everyone present was dumbfounded. After all, they knew that the old man in front of them could be a teacher in the trial of the Templar Knights. Obviously, his strength was not low.

Now, he actually apologized to an ordinary student.

One could imagine how serious the matter was just now.

When Daisy heard this, her expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Why was it that Audrey had stolen all the limelight when it was clearly time for her to shine?

Everyone’s attention should have been focused on her.

“Teacher, I feel that the work I’ve done here needs to be perfect. So, may I ask how many points will you give me?” Daisy raised her hand, attracting everyone’s attention.

The old man just casually glanced at the finished product he had made.

“It’s undeniable that your professionalism is very good. To be able to use a problematic herb to make a potion proves that you are already like a professional alchemist. Unfortunately, you didn’t see that the herb itself had a problem.”

“So, I plan to award this student Audrey with the highest score in this exam.”

When he said this, everyone present cheered.

“I knew it. It seems like it’s not that I don’t know alchemy, but that there’s something wrong with the medicinal ingredients themselves. It has nothing to do with me.”

“Hahaha, I don’t believe it. How can others succeed and only you fail?”

“I have to say that Audrey is really amazing. She can actually see the resemblance. I didn’t notice these details at all.”

The voices of discussion rose one after another. The old man frowned as he looked at the crowd. “Silence. Do I need to emphasize the matter of maintaining discipline in the trial a few more times?”

Everyone was so frightened that they shut their mouths.

“Congratulations, you’ve passed my test.” After the old man looked at Audrey, his expression turned a little better, “What I need to tell you is that I hope you can maintain your attention. This will be of great help to you in your future life.”

Audrey nodded in response. “Thank you for your reminder.”

The old man found Audrey’s name on the scroll he owned and drew a pentagram on the back of her name.

The alchemy trial ended very quickly. After coming out of the venue, Hera had yet to react to what had just happened.

“Audrey, how did you know that there was a problem with the earth’s core? They look exactly the same to me, and I didn’t even know that the earth’s core could emit light.”

Hera’s tone was filled with excitement.

Audrey smiled. “It’s actually very simple. As long as you have the corresponding theoretical foundation, you can know these things. Also, I only realized that something was wrong after I saw the earth’s core. Then, after careful observation, I can find the source.”

“As expected of Audrey. She’s really amazing!” Jill praised from the bottom of her heart. “I think I made a pitch-black object. The teacher looked at me strangely just now as if he was saying that I’m an idiot.”

It was just these words that made everyone burst into laughter.

“In that case, I don’t seem to have noticed how well you guys are doing.”

Audrey turned her head to look at Morris, who was a few steps away from them. “Morris, why aren’t you following us? We’ll be going to the next trial soon.”

Morris seemed to have a lot on his mind. At this moment, he gave a simple reply and followed everyone’s footsteps.

Just as they were waiting for Shadowless Ghost Hand to bring them to the next trial, a familiar voice came from behind them.

“I’m here to warn some people not to feel proud just because they got the first place in the trial by playing tricks. After all, playing tricks is not a very moral thing.” Daisy snorted coldly.

Her voice was not soft, and there were many people around her, so someone immediately looked at them.

“What are you talking about? Audrey’s ability to discover problems is her ability. We’re not like some people who don’t even know that the things they use are broken.” Jill stuck out her tongue at Daisy and made a face.

“You!” Daisy gritted her teeth.

Even if she did not discover that the thing was broken, she had succeeded in making one. Therefore, it could be considered a perfect potion.

After all, was it not better than Audrey, who had not done anything but had been praised so much!?

She snorted coldly and placed her hand on the whip wrapped around her waist. It was as if she could whip it out in the next second, lashing out at the provocateur in front of her.

Xavier hurriedly raised his hand to pull her back. “I know you won’t let this go, but calm down. You should know that this is such an important occasion.”

“But listen to what she’s saying. Isn’t she blatantly provoking me?” Daisy said angrily.

Xavier calmed himself down and comforted her. “Don’t worry. She can only act as she pleases. Aren’t the upcoming trials what you’re best at?”

That’s true.

Daisy managed to calm herself down. She looked up at Audrey, flicked her sleeves, and walked into the crowd.

“What’s wrong with this person? Why does she like to cause trouble when she has nothing better to do?” Jill complained softly.
