Rudy whispered into Jack’s ears, “Why does this place feel like a funeral?”
Jack could not stop himself from letting out a laugh. He looked up at everyone, and it really did feel like it was a funeral.
Everyone was incredibly sullen and miserable. They were in incredible pain.
Aaron smiled as he whispered, “I don’t think that this is a funeral at all.”
Rudy raised an eyebrow and said, “Then what is it?”
Aaron coughed and said seriously, “It’s like all of them ate a bucket of crap.”
The three of them let out slight laughs. After a moment, Aaron continued, “I think that the reason they’re suffering
so much isn’t that the other worlds are too strong or that they are too weak, and that they dragged Hestia
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtContinent down. It’s just because all of them have been shouted at by Rudeus.”
Jack raised an eyebrow, “They were shouted at by Rudeus? Is he allowed to do that? Even with his status, surely the
alchemists here are all no regular alchemists? Middle Province isn’t owned by Scarlet Pavilion!”
Jack’s face was puzzled. Ever since he came to Middle Province, he had started to learn about the various forces.
Even though Scarlet Pavilion was the strongest in Middle Province, the other clans would not just take it lying down
either. Lately, the Unbreaking Pavilion had been trying to become the second ninth-grade clan, splitting up the
resources of Middle Province.
The Unbreaking Pavilion was very strong. Normally, they only treated Scarlet Pavilion with surface level respect. If
Scarlet Pavilion really crossed the line, they would not just take it lying down. They would even fight back.
The other eighth-grade clans might not be as good as the Unbreaking Pavilion, but they would still not just take
things lying down. Dignity was incredibly important to those of them from high-grade clans. Some of them saw it as
more important than their own lives.
Because he understood that, Jack was curious.
When he saw how serious everyone was, how could they have just taken being scolded like that lightly?
Aaron could tell what Jack was puzzled about, and explained to Jack, “I said this earlier on, but this happened slowly.
Initially, Rudeus would not have shouted no matter how angry he was, but with the continuous losses, our results
were so bad that White Marsh Continent’s alchemists kept on mocking them. That was why Rudeus erupted.”
Jack still felt like it was quite unbelievable. After all, he had seen how much they valued their dignity, especially
those who were more skilled. They had all already gotten used to being praised. As long as they got rejected or
things happened in ways they did not want, they would immediately explode. They would feel like they suffered the
greatest humiliation.
Rudy thought about it and said, “I feel like he‘d probably just said a word or two and vented his frustrations. Surely
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit’s not that bad...”
The moment he said that Rudeus started to speak. His voice was very somber. Rather, his whole person was in an
incredibly heavy mood. He suppressed his anger, but his arms were still shaking.
“The seventh group! There are still two hours left. Only five people have taken the challenge tokens right now. Is there
anyone else?”
No one answered.
The alchemists that were sitting in front started to retreat with guilty looks on their faces.
After a moment of silence, Rudeus could not hold back anymore and shouted, ”Are all of you just trash? If you just wait
around, you won't be able to get anything anyway!”
The moment he said that the silence broke. After all, this involved their personal benefits. The alchemists toward the
back started to mutter amongst one another.
