The Genius Mage

“The first round of the competition will begin. First, you will need to refine a bottle of recovery medicine. The standard is fast and of high quality!”

After saying this, Audrey was about to take a break when a voice came from the crowd. “What right do you have to be an invigilator and instructor? You are only a member of the Knights.”

Eve was still the one who said this. Although she was a little afraid of Audrey, she was still unwilling to be trampled under her feet.

Looking at Audrey’s glorious appearance on the stage, Eve’s jealousy quickly grew in her heart.

“Just because I’m better than you.” Audrey snorted coldly and retaliated without holding back.

Audrey had always been straightforward when dealing with people like Eve, leaving her speechless.

Eve’s expression stiffened. The last time in the classroom, Audrey had personally proven that she was better than her. The entire class witnessed it, so she had nothing to retort.

“You… then you don’t have the qualifications to be an invigilator.” Finally, after holding it in for a long time, Eve could only say these words.

“Invigilators are all very experienced. You’re still young, so who knows if you’ll make a mistake? If you make a mistake, wouldn’t our division trial be completely ruined? There wouldn’t be any fairness at all!” Eve quickly found some excuses. She began to stir up trouble in the crowd.

When everyone heard that it would affect their interests, they would naturally be worried and question Audrey.

Although they knew that Audrey’s alchemy was perfect, that she could even master level 20 and level 30 potions, they were still a little worried because of her young age and lack of experience.

“That’s right. Why don’t we invite Teacher Thor?”

“It’s rare to have a class-dividing trial. We’re all relying on this trial to enter a better class. We can’t be ruined.”

“Although Audrey’s strength is strong, she’s still too young.”

…

Hearing these doubts and disturbances, Audrey frowned slightly. She felt sarcastic in her heart. It was no wonder that they could only stay in the mediocre academies. If they had the time to think about these things, they would have already mastered the potions.

Seeing that Audrey did not respond, Eve thought that she had won. She smiled smugly and said, “I’ll go invite Teacher Thor.”

Audrey then glanced at her. Her eyes were icy, as the frost of the twelfth lunar month.

“Are you sure you want to go?” She curled the corners of her lips, her eyes filled with a hint of playfulness and oppression. “I’ve just said that the first round of the competition has already begun. So now… there’s still an hour left.”

She lowered her head to look at the time and said in a calm and collected tone. These words were not only told to Eve but also everyone present.

When they heard that the time was ticking down, everyone panicked. They no longer questioned the invigilator’s matter and focused on refining the potion.

Eve felt indignant, but she did not dare to use the trial as a bet. She could only return unwillingly to complete the trial.

Audrey snorted coldly in her heart. She glanced at everyone with her clear eyes before returning to the side to rest.

At this moment, a group of people from the Dragon Slaying Squad walked over.

“Audrey, so you’re here,” Cole said, “if we didn’t hear that you were invited to be an invigilator, we wouldn’t have come here.”

“I had no choice.” Audrey sighed.

“It’s fine. Your strength is enough,” Klein comforted her. “By the way, you were amazing just now. You took care of that group of students so easily.”

Hearing this, Audrey chuckled. She had to be tougher when dealing with them.

While the few of them were talking, the first round of the trial ended very quickly. Audrey went down to check the potions one by one. Most of them had completed the first round of potion-making, but there were also some who were good or bad.

“Congratulations on entering the second round. Take a short break and start later.”

Many people heaved a sigh of relief. There were also a few who had failed the first round and were already dejected. Fortunately, the two roommates that Audrey had been paying attention to, Barbara and Ross, had both passed the first round of the trial.

“Audrey, I didn’t expect you to be the invigilator tutor.” During the break, Barbara and Ross immediately ran toward Audrey, feeling extremely delighted.

Audrey shrugged and revealed an innocent expression. “I was surprised too.”

“But it was so cool when you took care of Eve and the others. They usually like to cause trouble in the Academy.” Barbara smiled and gave Audrey a thumbs up.

Audrey was not interested in Eve’s matter, so she did not reply. Instead, she asked about the trial situation between the two of them. “Do you think the trial was alright?”

“Yeah… it was quite smooth, but I’m not sure what’s going to happen next.” Barbara pouted and frowned slightly.

Ross had the same attitude. The strength of the two was not too far apart.

“Then, you have to work hard.” Audrey winked at the two with a hint of playfulness and cuteness.

The trial quickly entered the second round. This round was to refine a medium-grade advancement potion, which was a big problem for many students.

At the beginning of the trial, many people had a ‘tragedy’ because they had mixed the wrong potion and ended the competition midway.

However, there were also people who did it rather smoothly.

The second round of the competition was even longer. Audrey was a little sleepy from waiting, so she decided to chat with Kate and the others.
