"Looks like Fei Lun is going to lose."

"Hey... That guy named Arthur is so powerful, his skillful potion refining technique just now is perfect, much better than Feren... I didn't expect Orm Academy to hide such a hole card. ”

"He's so powerful, so likely he's still a Potions apprentice? This method may not be so skillful even for a formal potions master who has been immersed in it for many years. ”

"We're going to lose face tonight... Fei Lun's classmates have no chance of winning, and the others are even more impossible. ”

Most of the students participating in the exchange in the banquet hall today were students from the elite classes of the two academies, and they all knew some knowledge of potions to a greater or lesser extent.

So even though the final result hasn't come out yet, they watched the whole process and probably guessed the final result.

No one was optimistic that Feren would win.

......

The side halls of the Potions competition are already overcrowded,

The lights were focused on the ring, and everyone was engrossed in the potions competition.

The warmest applause and praise at tonight's exchange dinner is destined to fall on the two talented teenagers in the ring.

They are the protagonists.

Two experimental operating tables filled with precision pharmaceutical instruments were arranged in the ring.

Feren and the brown-haired boy named Arthur stood aside.

And they all had a prepared potion in front of them, one red and one purple.

There was a faint smell of herbs in the air, and the potions had already entered the final stage of reaction fusion, and the winner would soon be completely separated.

However, at this moment, the expressions of the two were completely different.

Faeron was pale and nervous, completely devoid of the confidence he had when he first came on stage.

And Arthur, on the other side, has a victor's smile on the corner of his mouth.

......

The most shocked were Erin and Judy in the audience.

Although this result was unexpected, they had already heard a shocking prediction from another person.

They had heard from Raymond that Aum Academy had a very powerful Potions apprentice.

But because Judy thought he was lying, the two had a very unpleasant quarrel.

Now the facts are in front of us, and this is exactly the same situation that Raymond just guessed!

Faced with the potions genius named Arthur, Feron really didn't have any chance of winning.

Judy looked incredulous, her eyes trembled, and she murmured, "That guy... It's all right. Don't... He's really not a liar? ”

Erin, on the contrary, was relieved for some reason, and muttered with a complicated expression: "No wonder Raymond doesn't want to come to see this competition, it turns out that he has already guessed the result." ”

But at this moment,

Suddenly, someone spoke.

"Erin, is anyone sitting here?"

......

Aldrich went to negotiate with the people of Aum Academy,

Raymond has to wait for the time being.

He thought about finding a position close to the ring to sit and get on stage for a while.

It just so happened that there were a few vacant seats near the podium, and the only classmate he was familiar with, Irene.

Raymond saw that there was another empty seat next to her, and walked straight over.

"Nobody, sit here."

Erin warmly invited Raymond to sit next to her, and asked, "Are you here to see them play?" It's a pity that the most wonderful refining and fusion link has been missed, and the potion will be completed soon. ”

"Oh, it's okay, I wasn't going to watch it. I'll just sit there for a moment. ”

Raymond nodded, just wanting to sit down and rest quietly for a while.

But it backfired.

"Why, instead of looking at alchemy, you're here to see the joke?"

Judy on the side snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "You guessed that Classmate Fei Lun was going to lose, so you are very proud?" ”

She didn't really have any malice, but subjectively thought that Raymond was the kind of prodigal son in love. thought he was trying to take the opportunity to deceive Erin's favor, so his tone was not too polite.

"I'm not here to see his jokes, and I'm not interested in that."

Raymond explained calmly, spread his hands, and said, "I don't want to come either... But an old fellow had to ask me to come over. ”

Erin blinked, curious, "Old fellow? ”

Raymond thought that he wouldn't be able to hide it when he came to power anyway, so he simply told her first.

He pursed his lips and muttered, "Yes, old man Aldrich." ”

"How dare you call Dean Aldrich 'that old man'?"

Judy had never seen such an arrogant guy.

Didn't he know that Dean Aldrich was the first potions master of Philip's collar, and his status was so respected that even the Duke had to shout a mentor when he saw him?

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Raymond frowned slightly, and just now he casually called out his nickname as he usually called. reacted, and then said, "I should call him 'teacher'." ”

Judy was stunned for a moment, but didn't react.

At this time, the two potions on the experimental table were about to be made into medicines, and it was obvious that the outcome was about to be revealed.

Seeing that Judy was about to speak again, Raymond also felt very uncomfortable, and said to Erin, "Forget it... Anyway, I'm about to go on stage, so I won't sit more. ”

Hearing this, Erin suddenly thought that she had misheard, and said in surprise: "Raymond, you want to go on stage?" ”

"Hmm. The old man called me over... That's the purpose. ”

Raymond nodded.

suddenly

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

"You see, the test results of the two potions refined by Faeron and Arthur have come out!"

The banquet hall fell into a tense atmosphere of concentration and breathlessness,

A pin drop can be heard,

Everyone is staring at the testing equipment to see what the final data will look like.

At this moment,

Raymond looked at the focus of the lights in the ring, and Aldridge beckoned.

He let out a long breath,

"It's time for me to go on stage, too."
