Chapter 2422


    Had the vice-treasurer not been there, the other students would have burst into yells and cheers in support of the one they were rooting for. Fane speechlessly looked to the side. The vicetreasure took a deep breath before he said in a low voice, "Start!"


    With that cue, footsteps were suddenly heard next to him, and an unknown face had started walking toward the east.


    Each step he took had been very steady, but he was not like Gilbert from earlier, who walked with a sense of emptiness. He did not seem to care about the baffled looks he received.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Gilbert''s mouth hung wide open. "What are you doing here?"


    Fane raised an eyebrow and calmly answered, "What about you? What are you doing here?"


    He shot the words right back at Gilbert, angering Gilbert in the process. "I''m here to show this guy who''s stronger and to obtain the right to enter the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance as a student!" snapped Gilbert.


    Gilbert''s words were filled with a clear arrogance as if he was just born naturally better than everyone else.


    Fane nodded as he said very calmly, "I''m doing the same."


    Everyone was stunned by Fane''s words, and his response even rendered the vice-treasurer frozen on the spot. Everyone looked at Fane as if he was crazy. There were so many people present, but most of them had only seen Fane for the first time.


    After all, he never actually appeared in front of everyone else as the eleventh student. He had spent most of his time in his room or the Serene Cloud Room, and he had rarely interacted with anyone else.


    Fane just suddenly came out and suddenly stood next to Gilbert, iming he wouldpete as well. He said he wanted the right to head to the Middle Province Alchemist Union, whichpletely puzzled everyone.


    Everyone assumed Fane had gone bonkers, that he probably did not even know what the Way of the Pill was. He was probably thinking that he could condense pill runes just because others could.


    Gilbert almostughed from how angry he was. "Are you crazy? Do you even know what we''re doing?"


    Fane actually could not be bothered with Gilbert, but if he did not respond, the vice-treasurer might just kick him out and call him crazy.


    That was something Fane was not


    willing to let Rappen, so he was


    forced to be patient. "What does whether or not I''m crazy have to do with you? I came here topete, not to waste time with you. Didn''t you hear the vice-treasurer''s words earlier?


    "Let''s prove whether or not we''re right through our results. I came here to do just that. I won''t affect you condensing pill runes by standing here, anyway."


    Fane''s words were quite reasonable, causing the vicetreasurer to not have any reason to question him.


    After all, Fane was a student as well, even though the vice-treasurer seriously suspected that the kid did not even know what pill runes looked like.


    However, after Fane''s exnation, he would be incredibly unfair if he did not give Fane a chance.


    Moreover, Fane being there would not affect anything. It would just look like one more person was attempting to condense the pill runes.


    Gilbert''s lips twitched. He was starting to hate Fane to the core.


    Every time Fane spoke, Gilbert felt like he could say nothing in response. This was just likest


    Vel


    time with Fane practically stuffing a sock in his mouth.


    Gilbert''s hands started to tremble.


    If the vice-treasurer had not been looking at him, he would have rushed over and tried to choke Fane.


    Even though he knew he was no match for Fane, he was far too angry. Despite his anger, however, Fane did not even spare him a second nce.
