Fane turned around and headed back to the ground, standing firmly. At that moment, David was already stunned. He looked at Fane in disbelief.
It was then did David realize that Fane did not just know how to use the laws of space. Fane was actually not weak either. Otherwise, how could Fane have split open his attack?! David's lips trembled slightly as his expression stiffened.
When he realized the fact, he was naturally not very willing to accept it. However, he was still forced to! David gulped as his expression darkened. He glared at Fane through clenched teeth.
After a long time, he finally spoke, "So you're actually not that weak. Were you just putting on an act the whole time?"
Fane was speechless after he heard that. He had never tried to put on an act. He had even told all of them quite firmly that they were no match for him. Yet, they always refused to listen. They felt like Fane's words were a joke. They did not believe him nor accept what he said.
Now that they saw the truth, they ended up accusing him of faking everything. Fane was incredibly exasperated at that moment, not knowing what to say.
After a long time, Fane finally spoke, "What is wrong with your heads? Tell me, when have I ever put on an act? In the waiting area, I answered everything you asked me honestly, you were the one who refused to believe it."
David replied furiously, "Aren't you an alchemist?! How could an alchemist possess skills like that? What else could it be other than you putting on an act?"
Fane let out a laugh before he took out his sixth-grade alchemist badge from Mustard Seed. He lifted the badge and shook it around, "Look closely! I've never put on an act. I really am an alchemist. I'm not just a sixth-grade alchemist either. Are alchemists not allowed to fight?"
David's lips stiffened when he saw the sixth-grade alchemist badge and he gaped slightly. He felt like something was stuck in his throat. He was unable to say anything. Upon closer inspection, David was sure that the badge was real.
It really was a sixth-grade alchemist's badge. Even though they were from different worlds, the patterns and seals on alchemist badges were the same. There was no way to falsify it, and Fane's name was even on it.
David's lips twitched as he struggled to find something to say. It was clear that Fane was not lying. It was just that they misjudged Fane because they were too stuck on their own impressions.
However, they could not really be blamed for that. In the first place, Fane was from Hestia Continent. Just that alone would have invited them to look down on him.
Secondly, Fane was an alchemist. Whether it was in Hestia Continent, Chaos Continent, or White Marsh Continent, it was practically impossible for alchemists to be strong when it came to combat. That was common knowledge!
Alchemists usually put all their thoughts and focus on alchemy. How could they have time to practice fighting? If an alchemist was stronger than warriors that dedicated themselves to combat, it would be unreasonable!
Yet, everything that he had seen that day had shattered David's preconceptions! Even if he hated Fane, he still had to accept that truth. The viewing area once again exploded in an uproar thanks to Fane.
Fane had faced David head-on, and actually did not lose. They had also seen that the slash still had some power to it after breaking through the thunder.
However, it had just consumed too much energy to hold on to its form, causing it to disperse in the air. None of the warriors there realized that Fane had been the one to disperse the slash.
