Female Novel
chapter 2422 -2423
Chapter 2422 Had the vice-treasurer not been there, the other students would have burst into yells and cheers insupport of the one they were rooting for.
Jackie speechlessly looked to the side. The vice-treasure took a deep breath before he
said in a low voice, “Start!”novelbin
With that cue, footsteps were suddenly heard next to him, and an unknown face had started walkingtoward the east.
Each step he took had been very steady, but he was not like Gilbert from earlier, who walked with asense of emptiness. He did not seem to care about the baffled looks he received.
Gilbert’s mouth hung wide open. “What are you doing here?”

Jackie raised an eyebrow and calmly answered, “What about you? What are you
doing here?”
He shot the words right back at Gilbert, angering Gilbert in the process. “I’m here to show this guy who’sstronger and to obtain the right to enter the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance as a student!
“snapped Gilbert. Gilbert’s words were filled with a clear arrogance as if he was just born naturally betterthan everyone else.

Jackie nodded as he said very calmly, “I’m doing the same.”
Everyone was stunned by Jackie’s words, and his response even rendered the vice- treasurer frozen onthe spot. Everyone looked at Jackie as if he was crazy. There were so many people present, but most ofthem had only seen Jackie for the first time.
After all, he never actually appeared in front of everyone else as the eleventh student.He had spent mostof his time in his room or the Selena Cloud Room, and he had rarely interacted with anyone else.
Jackie just suddenly came out and suddenly stood next to Gilbert, claiming he would compete as well.He said he wanted the right to head to the Middle Province Alchemist Union, which completely puzzledeveryone.
Everyone assumed Jackie had gone bonkers, that he probably did not even know what the Way of thePill was. He was probably thinking that he could condense pill runes just because others could.
Gilbert almost laughed from how angry he was. “Are you crazy? Do you even know what we’re doing?”
Jackie actually could not be bothered with Gilbert, but if he did not respond, the vice- treasurer might justkick him out and call him crazy.
That was something Jackie was not willing to let happen, so he was forced to be patient. “What doeswhether or not I’m crazy have to do with you? I came here to compete, not to waste time with you. Didn’tyou hear the vice-treasurer’s words earlier?”
“Let’s prove whether or not we’re right through our results. I came here to do just that. I won’t affect youcondensing pill runes by standing here, anyway.”

Jackie’s words were quite reasonable, causing the vice-treasurer to not have any reason to questionhim. After all, Jackie was a student as well, even though the vice-treasurer seriously suspected that thekid did not even know what pill runes looked like.
However, after Jackie’s explanation, he would be incredibly unfair if he did not give Jackie a chance.
Moreover, Jackie being there would not affect anything. It would just look like one more person wasattempting to condense the pill runes.
Gilbert’s lips twitched. He was starting to hate Jackie to the core.
Every time Jackie spoke, Gilbert felt like he could say nothing in response. This was just like last time,with Jackie practically stuffing a sock in his mouth.
Gilbert’s hands started to tremble. If the vice-treasurer had not been looking at him, he would haverushed over and tried to choke Jackie.
Even though he knew he was no match for Jackie, he was far too angry. Despite his anger, however,Jackie did not even spare him a second glance.
Chapter 2423 Jackie remained unbothered by Gilbert’s actions as he said, “You’ve wasted so much timewith pointless words, and there’s no point getting yourself worked up over something that won’t affectyou anyway. Isn’t that right, Gilbert?”
Andrew burst into cackles at Jackie’s words. He might think that Jackie was a nutcase, but the enemy ofhis enemy was still his friend. Since Jackie was at odds with Gilbert, then he would side with Jackie.
Moreover, Andrevw did not think Jackie had a chance to win. That would be all too bizarre if Jackie won.
After a short silence, the students that were standing behind the vice-treasurer suddenly started todiscuss among themselves.
Damien knew who Jackie was. “This guy’s name is Jackie. There’s got to be something wrong with hisbrain, I know it. He’s only been a student for a short time, but he’s actually trying to compete with Gilbertand Andrew. Where did he get that courage from?”
“I think he’s crazy, too. I don’t even think he knows what pill runes look like. Maybe he needs Andrew andGilbert to show him? After that person said that, an uproar of laughter was suddenly heard all around.Some of them were even clutching their stomachs as they laughed at Jackie as if they had seen acomplete idiot.”
The calmest person present was Raphael. Raphael let out a sigh of exasperation as
he looked at the gold plate in his hand. He then focused his attention on the other students that weregiggling and sneering. He helplessly held the gold plate in his palm, not saying anything.
Despite their constant laughter, Jackie was not bothered by it at all. Jackie remained standing upright ashe said, “Aren’t we starting yet?’
Gilbert felt like Jackie’s words were basically a challenge to the rest of them. Gilbert wanted to use hisskills to prove that Jackie was just a complete idiot.
Hearing those words, he averted his gaze as his hands constantly moved. A red glow was on hisfingertips.
The pill aura around him was absorbed wave by wave as he slowly condensed pill runes one at a time.Staring at runes that were forming in Gilbert’s hands, Andrew Was not going to allow himself to fallbehind.
He adopted the same stance as he slowly started to form runes as well.
Jackie glanced at the two of them as he sighed in exasperation.
He had not wanted everything to advance so quickly, but he had to win this no matter what. Thinkingabout that, he got serious as he fixed his gaze on his fingers. He separated himself from hissurroundings.
He started to wave his hands as well, but it was a golden light that suddenly appeared in his handsinstead. He rapidly absorbed the surrounding pill aura, and faint golden runes started to condense in theair one by one.
Jackie’s progress was incredibly natural to him, since he had already condensed them in the pill auraroom numerous times. On the other hand, the others paled as if they had seen a ghost.
The vice-treasurer was especially shocked when he saw Jackie’s incredibly fluent motions. After Jackiecondensed a pill rune, his jaw dropped in shock, refusing to believe it was all real.
Jackie’s rate of condensation was far too quick, so much so that Gilbert ánd Andrew could not compareat all. For every ten pill runes Jackie formed, Gilbert and Andrew could only form one.
Furthermore, from the glow and aura of the pill runes, Jackie’s pill runes were far better in quality thanthe other two.
Damien’s face stiffened as he pointed at Jackie. “What…?”
He was stunned for a long time, not able to say anything. If he had not pinched himself, he would havethought he was dreaming, that none of this was real!
The vice-treasurer was rendered just as speechless by the shock. Everyone had been submerged in astrange silence.
Not one student spoke as everyone quietly watched on.
