Irene covered her mouth and exclaimed. She was stunned on the spot and was at a loss for the moment.
...
Raymond: "Damn it... I've been doing this for a long time, and you're here to do this?"
Most of the readers have complained that your move is based on ancient plots. You, an important villain in the early stage, can you try some new tricks?
But at the same time, the cold light in Raymond's eyes became more solid, "Tsk, tsk, this guy wants to die..."
...
"Oh, my God, look, Arthur proposed to Miss Irene!"
"Wow! It turns out that Arthur is the first heir to Grand Duke Orm. I thought he was just a potion genius, but I didn't expect that he has the hidden identity of such a high-ranking nobleman."
"..."
Arthur's proposal of marriage did not deliberately avoid others and quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Naturally, the people at Orm Academy followed suit, and their voices became louder and louder. They thought that if Arthur could marry Princess Eileen of Philip, even if he lost the game, it would not seem so embarrassing.
.....
"I...I...don't..."
Irene's crystal eyes were full of panic.
She wanted to refuse, but she had never had the experience to deal with such emergencies. For a moment, she couldn't think of what to say, something that could politely refuse without losing aristocratic etiquette, and would not affect the Orm family and the Philip family.
Words of friendship.
Just when Irene was panicking and didn't know how to deal with it, she suddenly heard someone replying on her behalf.
"not good."
Say no quickly and neatly.
These words are like a drowning man suddenly grasping at straws.
"Classmate Raymond..."
A flash of joy flashed across Irene's crystal eyes, and the aggressive feeling was finally gone. She turned her head and looked at the dark-faced Raymond next to her, and even felt a little excited.
Obviously, this matter was probably directed at him, and Raymond felt that he had to intervene. He looked at Irene and said calmly, "Irene, you are too kind. If you encounter something you don't like in the future,
, just refuse it directly.”
...
The proposal ceremony was interrupted, but Arthur was not angry. Instead, his eyes revealed a smile that suited his purpose.
"Classmate Raymond, what do you mean by this? Can I interpret this to mean that you want to challenge me to a duel?"
In the upper-class aristocratic circle, interrupting someone else's marriage proposal is a serious provocation or even insult. The person being provoked has the right to initiate a "duel".
After hearing this, Raymond was almost certain that Arthur's inexplicable proposal was because of this bad idea.
He raised his brows and said with a half-smile, "You want to compete with me in refining medicine again?"
"..."
Arthur's face twitched, and the momentum he had just brewed was instantly shattered.
"I'm talking about a life and death duel!"
"That's not interesting."
Raymond responded expressionlessly.
coward?
Love it as much as you like.
Raymond doesn't need the baggage of being an idol, and he doesn't have it at all.
duel?
No!
In the exchange between the two houses, even if it is a fight to the death, a master will intervene at the last moment to resolve the situation, and Arthur, who is sensitive to his identity, will never be allowed to die in the ring.
If you beat the snake but don't die, the consequences will be endless!
Besides, Raymond didn't intend to reveal his secret in front of so many people.
His head is now full of calculations, how to kill this "cruel lord" who will become notorious in the future without anyone noticing!
...
"Why is this guy named Raymond so rude?"
"Yes, interrupting such a romantic proposal is not what a gentleman should do."
"Hey... Now it seems that potion talent cannot prove a person's character. After all, he is a low-class citizen from the slums, and his behavior is too vulgar."
"..."
This kind of cowardly behavior is simply an embarrassment to Philip Academy!
Public opinion gradually shifted to one side, and both the aristocratic students from Aum Academy and Philip Academy seemed to point the finger at Raymond with the same hatred.
But he, Raymond, cares about them?
At this moment when thousands of people are scorning me,
Raymond never expected that Judy on the side would actually help him to save himself.
"Classmate Arthur, it's just the first time you and Irene met, and you behaved like that. Isn't this a very rude behavior for a noble?"
Judy paused and then said: "Besides, Raymond has not yet awakened to the extraordinary. Do you think it is appropriate to challenge him to a 'duel'?"
Haha, sorry?
Arthur snorted in his heart, obviously not taking it seriously. On the contrary, he was more concerned about the last sentence, frowned and asked: "Isn't he a transcendent?"
How is it possible that a quasi-two-star potion master is not a transcendent?!
Judy said categorically: "All of our classmates at Philip College can testify to this."
Arthur was thoughtful.
Just now he asked someone to inquire about some things.
He even couldn't believe it when he heard about Raymond's experience of failed awakening three times.
I thought it was just a rumor, but now that someone has spoken out with confidence, it is certain that this matter cannot be false.
Is it possible that the guy who took it really has some kind of flaw in his extraordinary talent, or maybe he didn't find a potion sequence that fits well enough?
"Yes, Judy is right, classmate Raymond is indeed not an extraordinary person."
Some of the bystanders also responded.
Many people know Judy. She is the daughter of the Chief Sheriff of Philip Territory. She has a distinguished status, so it is naturally impossible for her to lie.
...
"What? That guy named Raymond is actually not a transcendent?"
"A potion master with excellent talent is not an extraordinary person? Is it because the extraordinary talent is defective?"
"Probably... Otherwise, with Dean Aldrich's massive potion reserve resources, as his disciple, no matter how bad his qualifications are, he can awaken the extraordinary."
"It's a pity... I thought he was the only genius in Philip Academy who could be compared with classmate Arthur, but if he can't even advance to the extraordinary level, his future achievements will be limited."
"No wonder I don't even have the courage to duel."
"..."
Those at Aum Academy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The avalanche of genius that Raymond showed in the ring before made them unable to lift their heads. Now that they heard the news, their depressed mood was instantly wiped away.
They even gloated a little bit about their misfortune,
After all, God is fair.
No matter how talented he is, he is just a poor guy who cannot awaken to the extraordinary.
...
Arthur squinted his eyes. Although he was confused, he did not hold on to the question anymore and turned to look at Irene.
