That disdainful gaze was obvious to Fane even despite the distance. Logically speaking, Rudeus should have been happy that someone wanted to participate.
After all, he had been shouting at everyone for so long, but no one had been willing to volunteer. Aaron's actions could be counted as breaking through the silence. At the very least, they would not be laughed at by White Marsh Continent's alchemists for not having enough people.
Aaron had clearly felt Rudeus' disgust and mockery as well. It caused Aaron to feel both frustrated and confused. It was as if he had been wrong to do what he did.
Rudeus snorted, "With someone like you?"
Those words definitely stunned Aaron. What did Rudeus mean by that? At that moment, the alchemists all looked at Aaron as well.
They had looks of mockery on their faces as well.
Aaron's lips twitched as he said, "Didn't you say that everyone could take part? Since no one's taking part, can't I?"
Fane felt like Aaron was being very reasonable. Both
Fane and Aaron knew that Aaron did not have the skill to get a treasure. He could not even get a black
treasure.
"That person clearly doesn't know his place.
Something must be wrong with him. He's not even a seventh-grade alchemist, but he wants to take part. He's just going to embarrass us all..."
Aaron's lips started to turn purple as he felt a chill in his heart. It was as if he had been thrown into ice water. He sniffed, feeling like he was being an absolute joke.
As he was being stunned, Rudeus immediately shouted, "Why haven't you put it down?! Get lost!"
Aaron shuddered as he immediately placed the array down. He then turned and ran back with his tail between his legs.
