Fane had carefully thought things through before he stood up.
Everyone else doubtfully watched as he 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, he wasted no time putting it into his storage space before he turned and started to walk back.
The way he behaved and walked was so languid that everyone was baffled. Just as Fane made his third step, Rudeus said, "Stop right there! Who are you? You're trying to just walk away after taking an array?"
Fane raised an eyebrow, turning around after he stopped.
He calmly looked at Rudeus. He already expected that Rudeus would react like that before he came, and he already knew what he wanted to say.
Fane raised an eyebrow before he 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 Fane uttering them. No one expected that someone with the badge of a sixthgrade 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.
