The Genius Mage

After a long time, the second round of the competition finally ended. Audrey once again went down to inspect the potion.

Less than half of the people who had successfully refined it had done so. Audrey felt helpless. It was indeed very difficult for Spark City to nurture another advanced alchemist.

However, what made Audrey’s eyes light up was that Barbara and Ross had actually succeeded in refining it. Moreover, both of them were not bad. It seemed that the two of them had been studying very seriously recently.

Audrey silently gave the two of them an encouraging look before continuing down.

When she walked to the back, it was Eve’s seat. When she saw Audrey walking over, Eve’s expression became even uglier. She had actually failed to refine the potion this time.

“Eve, eliminated!” Audrey said in a low voice as she was about to continue down.

At this moment, Eve suddenly pulled Audrey back and shouted, “I’m not convinced!”

Oh? Audrey sized her up with a meaningful look as if she wanted to see how thick-skinned she was to be able to say that she was not convinced when she had not even refined the potion.

“Tell me, why are you not convinced?” Audrey sneered and asked meaningfully.

“It’s all because of you today. You disrupted me, which is why I didn’t refine it. I request to refine it again,” Eve said righteously, her eyes inadvertently glancing at Barbara and Ross.

How did Audrey’s two roommates pass? A sinister glint flashed in her eyes. The hands hidden behind her back faintly released some combat aura.

“Do you know why you didn’t succeed?” Audrey asked back.

“It’s all because of you!” Eve said unhappily as she glared fiercely at Audrey.

These words made Audrey find it laughable.

She stared at Eve with sarcasm, she said coldly, “You didn’t succeed because your heart wasn’t calm. You only wanted to go against me and didn’t focus on refining the potion. This is your problem. You only have one chance. If you’re not confident, you won’t be able to succeed.”

With that, Audrey gave Eve a meaningful glance and was about to leave.

As though Audrey had hit the nail on the head, Eve became even angrier. She shouted at Audrey sternly, “You’re playing favorites! This trial isn’t fair.”

“There has to be evidence to frame someone.” Audrey’s eyes turned cold.

In such a situation, she did not want to be too calculative with Eve. As long as the trial could proceed smoothly, it would be fine. However, the other party was not willing to let her off. No matter how good Audrey was, she was already enraged at this moment.

Seeing Audrey being framed, Barbara and Ross could not sit still and immediately stepped forward to defend her.

“That’s right. Audrey is fair and just. What right do you have to say that she’s biased and malpractices!”

“You’re clearly eliminated and taking revenge,” Barbara said unhappily.

Eve snorted coldly and swept a disdainful glance at the two of them. She said, “The two of you are the evidence.”

Hearing this, Barbara and Ross looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they were friends with Audrey, they had nothing to do with the trial.

At this moment, Eve had already stepped forward and brought over the potions that the two of them had just refined. She raised her voice and said, “Everyone, look. These two bottles of potions are so turbid. It’s obvious that they failed. However, Audrey allowed them to pass. Isn’t this cheating for favoritism?”

“You… how is this possible!” Ross and Barbara looked at the potion in shock. Even Audrey was stunned for a moment, but she immediately realized that the potion must have been tampered with.

“Now, what else do you have to say?” Eve smiled smugly. There was a hint of scheming in her eyes as she shouted arrogantly.

“You’re framing me! The potion we refined was clearly successful,” Ross said angrily. If Barbara had not stopped her, she might have gone up and fought with Eve.

Eve snorted coldly and said, “What evidence do you have to say that I’m framing you?”

Ross and Barbara were instantly speechless. They had suffered a belly full of silence and felt extremely wronged.

They could only place their hopes on Audrey. However, Audrey was also a victim. Eve wanted to use this matter to tarnish Audrey’s reputation.

“Indeed, there’s no evidence.” Audrey’s eyes darkened. After thinking for a moment, the corners of her mouth curled into a confident smile. “But the two of them are the best proof.”

“You’re both involved in this matter. You can’t keep your words.” Eve thought that she would win for sure. She spoke arrogantly and raised her chin, looking down on others.

The members of the Dragon Slaying Squad had also figured out what had happened. They rushed to Audrey’s back to help her.

“Eve, don’t slander people. Audrey would never do such a thing!” Klein said angrily.

Seeing Klein speaking up for Audrey, Eve’s jealousy became even more intense. How could Audrey become friends with all the members of the five big families so soon after she joined the Knights Legion? Why did everyone speak up for her?

“Then, ask her to show us the evidence.”

Klein frowned and looked at Audrey with a worried look.

There was no recording in the trial just now. How could there be any evidence?

For a moment, the two roommates and the members of the Dragon Slaying Squad fell into silence. They were very anxious, thinking about how to prove it.
