Section 1: Stupid Provocation (Part II)
Section 1: Stupid Provocation (Part II)
If Bernard's criticism of Thomson just now was like a hurricane, then Townsend's insult to Berner now is like a bolt of lightning. Directly made the paranormal in the hall stunned, and even the general association Edwina opened his eyes wide-Townsend, a junior ability, had not yet been officially recognized, and he dared to speak to a fourth-level abilityman?
But after thinking about it, many people are relieved again, Townsend's nickname is rabies, and when rabid dogs bite people, what level will you be?
"Mr. Bernard," said the examiner, with a dark heart, "did you hear that? Do you agree with Townsend's explanation?"
He almost grabbed Berner by the collar and asked loudly, "How are you feeling now?!"
"Bastard!" Berner almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood, and the wrinkles on his old face were shaking violently as if they had come to life! His eyes widened as he wanted to tear Townsend and the examiner to shreds!
"It seems that Mr. Bernard does not agree with your explanation. The examiner, who was deeply hurt by Berner, did not delay at all, and turned to Townsend and said, "Townsend, Quelsa, do you have anything to add?"
"Yes, I would add, I didn't think about it just now, sorry sorry. Townsend nodded solemnly, pondered for a while, and then said in a very cautious tone: "Personally, I think - Berner is a blind old fool!"
The abilities present couldn't help but widen their eyes, and their mouths gasped.
Townsend said this...... It's really vicious, Berner is a fourth-level anomaly, and he has been in charge of the research faction of this branch for more than ten years, and he is still very powerful! Townsend spared no effort to humiliate him, and he will definitely suffer next.
The examiner slowly turned his head and looked at Berner with a smile, and was about to repeat Townsend's words again - Berner's throat had already emitted a heavy hoarse sound of + passion in his throat, the redness on his face was connected to his neck, and his fists were already clenched, obviously on the verge of going berserk.
"That's enough! This is the site of the dedication ceremony, not the vegetable market in the tent area. I remind you to be careful about your words and deeds!" His Excellency the Jacques Branch President finally spoke up, and he said in a tone of implicit anger: "The first to have the bearing of the first, and the later to have the awe of the latecomer, this is the tradition of the Miracle Master Guild. ”
At the crucial moment when Townsend and Berner were on the needle against Maiman, Jacques stepped forward to play fifty boards each. On the surface, His Excellency the Branch President is strictly neutral and unwavering, but in reality his partiality is already obvious.
Which is more important, a junior or a fourth-level ability? Of course, a fourth-level ability! If Townsend had been dragged out by someone before, and would have even been thrown into a water prison to discourage Bernard, Jacques would never have 'shot' Berner in his reprimand.
Jacques had already made a choice between the two, but his words and actions would not provoke a backlash from others, because it was Berner who took the lead regardless of his position, and everyone present saw it.
So surprised, at least half of the people found Townsend-Quelsa's words very relieved. Berner was a blind old fool, and he didn't know which branch to climb, but he had betrayed the West Coast chapter anyway.
"If you have something to say, it's all your own people. After reprimanding the two of them, Jacques slowed down: "Townsend, since Mr. Berner has an objection to your ability, you can explain a few words, aren't you usually quite kind?"
Everyone was silent, but they all hung a black line, when did Brother Rabid Dog get angry?
"Your Excellency, since this step is not explained in the dedication, I don't ...... at all I didn't prepare. Townsend smiled shyly and was a little embarrassed: "Speaking of which, I'm here to participate in a special promotion, and it has nothing to do with me if someone can't read it." Besides, he is not my apprentice, I kindly taught him, and people will say that I don't understand the rules and steal the job of other people's mentors......"
"Then these 'messy' nonsense words?" Seeing that Townsend didn't understand his hint, Jacques couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but his face was still deep: "Free discussion within the meeting, this is the fine tradition of my West Coast branch, there is no order to learn, and those who reach it are respected!"
"Your Excellency, I am so stupid that I really can't tell. Townsend actually understood Jacques's hint, but ...... He didn't mean to be tricky, because he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to explain properly, and there were a lot of paranormal masters on the scene, and if anyone saw through his secrets, he would have cried.
"Okay! I've traveled thousands of miles from the Quelsa Plain to Yintao City to take the exam, and I've been eating and sleeping in the open, trekking through mountains and rivers, how can I say that I am full of sincerity, right? Now someone has jumped out to slander me, and I am very hurt......"
"Plain Wind is the lowest-level branching ability. Jacques and Yan Yue said to Townsend, "He is not wrong about this. ”
"Your Excellency, I have read the rules of the gift, and I didn't say that you can't use plain style in the gift. Townsend shrugged: "To be honest, this is my gift, what kind of ability do I use to care about his!"
"Maybe Mr. Bernard doesn't think you're glamorous enough. Jacques smiled, and slowly led the topic to the right path without hurrying: "He is a fourth-level ability master, he has deep experience, and he still has the right to judge his speech." ”
"This is difficult to do, I use Su Feng, do I have to explain to others what is so powerful about my Su Feng? Who would do such a thing as a self-prolific thing?" Townsend swept his contemptuous gaze over Berner: "I don't even buy tickets, I have no obligation to explain to him!"
"Of course you don't need to explain it to him, but I have this question too," Jacques had to do it himself: "Can you explain it to me?"
"Your Excellency's question, of course, I have to answer it. Townsend nodded, avoiding the important and trivial: "Actually, the answer is very simple, I have no choice." Because I haven't mastered other abilities other than Su Feng, I can't just collapse half of the ability for the sake of looking good, right?"
After listening to Townsend's answer, the Abilities Masters began to talk to each other again, and they had never heard of such a thing before they were familiar with other abilities, and they had never heard of such a thing! You know, when preparing for a special promotion, Prospective Abilities would work hard to learn at least three or more sub-abilities, primary, second-level, and some even third-level.
This is an appearance, and it is related to the future growth of the Anomaly.
Didn't Townsend have Marcia by his side?
"Aren't you proficient in the other abilities?" Jacques glanced at Townsend suspiciously, then at Marcia, "Really?"
"Your Excellency, it's true that Townsend hasn't learned any of the other branch's abilities," Marcia stepped forward and replied in a positive way, "When I met Townsend, he was just a budding person. After that, I watched him grow step by step to this day. A lot had happened during this time, and he simply didn't have the time or opportunity to access the higher levels of ability information. ”
"Then the accusations of deception and contempt are not established. Jacques nodded, "Mr. Bernard, do you accept this explanation?"
"No!" Bernard's face was gloomy: "Miss Marcia's personal relationship with Townsend is too close, and her words are not very credible. ”
"I accept, and I believe that everyone in this hall, will accept Miss Marcia's explanation. Without waiting for the others to speak, the Jacques branch president pushed Berner back, and by the way, he also defined the "sex" of Berner's behavior today: "If there are others like Mr. Berner who do not accept this explanation, please stand up." ”
The paranormal masters on the scene looked at each other, but no one was willing to speak up, including those who were close to Berner - in the face of the overall honor of the West Coast chapter and the majesty of President Jacques, Berner was already isolated, even the people of the research faction would not jump out to support Berner at this time, is this different from looking for death?
Jacques's ability to control the field is good, he grasped the main contradiction in a few words, and drew the positions of both sides cleanly, so that everyone can see things clearly, even if the master of the world does not rhyme, he will not choose the wrong side.
"As for you, Mr. Bernard, it doesn't matter whether you accept this explanation or not. President Jacques's gaze was very calm and kind, and this gaze passed over Hughes and rested on Lady Edwina: "Lady Edwina, you have come from the General Assembly, you have a broad vision and extraordinary attainments, what do you think of Townsend's gift?"
"I'm just here to watch the ceremony, why do you suddenly want my opinion?" Edvina still smiled, but her words were not polite at all: "I think Townsend-Quelsa's gift is quite reluctant, and Bernard's questioning is not for nothing......"
"Oh, then, Ms. Edwina has the same doubts in her mind?" President Jacques nodded in relief, and then turned his head to look at Townsend - he had already figured out the reason for Berner's madness, and the following part should be completed by Townshend: "Townsend, it seems that Berner is not the only one who thinks that your ability is not gorgeous enough, do you have any solutions?"
"Yes!" Townsend understood Jacques's intentions, nodded and said, "Whoever is not convinced, just fight with me!"
The onlookers had been surprised several times, and by now, their resistance should be very strong. But when they heard Townsend's words, everyone was still a little dumbfounded. That's right, Townsend is going to challenge Bernard, who is a level 4 Anomaly!
In fact, not to mention them, even Edvenna, who was sweeping the flames, was taken aback, and the smile on her face changed shape.
"Townsend, don't be so aggressive. Jacques hurriedly reassured Townsend: "There is too much difference between you and Berner's level......"
"It's okay, I'm used to fighting this kind of fight. Townsend squinted at Bernard, "How about it?"
"I've got your wish!" Berner's face was calm, but his heart was overjoyed. When Townsend insulted him just now, he didn't have no intention of making a move, but because the guild had rules that didn't allow high-level ability masters to shoot at low-level ability masters, he couldn't make rash moves.
Now that Townsend is taking the initiative to challenge, he certainly won't let go of this opportunity......
Although his target is not Townsend, and he does not do it himself, who made Townsend grow a stinky mouth?
