The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2960

"Rudeus' behavior in arranging things this way is because he doesn't want Hestia to be humiliated. If everyone participates so brazenly like you are, won't it show the other two continents that our alchemists are all so bad?!"

Hearing that, Fane raised an eyebrow as he said loudly, "Stop looking for excuses; I won't be convinced just like that. You keep on saying you don't want

Hestia to be humiliated, but what you're doing will only embarrass us even more.

"There are so many alchemists here. Is it that hard to pick out a few seventh-grade alchemists? The fact that the seventh-grade alchemists are all unwilling to step up is purely because they'd be humiliated by Rudeus if they didn't satisfy him.

"Who'd want to step up just to be berated? You're stopping others from taking part and humiliating our continent even more! In your eyes, sixth-grade alchemists are nothing, but what about seventh-grade alchemists?!

"Surely it won't be hard to pick out a few seventhgrade alchemists when there are over ten thousand of them here! Why can't we even pick out ten? Simply put, no one wants to be scolded!

"The standards you uphold are hilarious. As long as they have a seventh-grade alchemist badge, they

won't be mocked when they enter. After all, the badge doesn't explicitly say how skilled a person is.

"Even if the alchemists from the other continents are skilled, there's no way there will be a lot of eighthgrade alchemists. After all, there's an age restriction!"

Fane's words were quite logical, and the other alchemists slowly became convinced. Everyone slowly felt like Rudeus' earlier arrangements were too tyrannical and too reliant on him alone.

Many alchemists were present, including seventhgrade alchemists. It should not be difficult to pick out 10 of them to compete. The reason why no one stepped up was simply because of Rudeus' horrible temper. If they were not to his standards, they would be shouted at.
