Chapter 196 - The Hero Saves the Damsel in Distress?
The Genius Mage
Klein held it in for a moment, but in the end, he did not say anything. He bade Audrey farewell at the corner.
Audrey had originally planned to return to her original spot to watch the match, but she had not expected to encounter a group of uninvited guests on the way.
âHey, itâs you, isnât it? Audrey from the pharmacy department, the one who said she was very famous in the pharmacy department?â
Audrey turned around and saw a girl with a high ponytail standing behind her. That face looked very familiar.
If Audrey remembered correctly, the girl in front of her was the very popular girl from the Subdued Beast Department whom she had met at the beginning. At that time, Klein had even introduced her to her.
Audrey blinked and did not reply. After all, she had never been in a good mood for people who took the initiative to look for trouble.
The girl frowned. Thatâs not right. The news they received was that the person in front of them was very powerful, but he was not that arrogant.
âHey, didnât you hear me? Iâm talking to you now,â Claire said fiercely.
Audrey had no intention of responding to her at all. She only spoke politely and raised her hand, gesturing for her to keep her distance. Then, she planned to go around her.
Claireâs expression turned even uglier.
She frowned and raised her foot to block in front of her, blocking Audreyâs way.
âAre you mute? Iâm talking to you. Didnât you hear me?â
Audrey only glanced at her indifferently. After being stared at by that pair of azure eyes, Clare instantly felt a wave of fear that came from the bottom of her heart.
âIf thereâs nothing else, can you let me go first? I donât have that much time to play house with you guys here,â Audrey said indifferently.
Claire laughed coldly. âWhat do you mean by âPlay Houseâ? Didnât you hear what I was asking you just now?â
She raised her hand and pushed Audreyâs shoulder. Audrey did not react to this sudden action. She staggered a few steps back and nearly fell to the ground.
She took a gentle breath and tried her best to calm herself down.
She had originally planned to get along well with these people. However, since they had already made a move, she did not need to give them any face.
Audrey sneered in her heart. Her hands by her side had already formed a layer of ice crystals. Just as she was about to make a move, a voice suddenly came from the side.
âHey, what are you doing here? How are you bullying others?â
A boy appeared out of nowhere and reached out to help Audrey steady herself.
âWhat do you mean by bullying her? Didnât you see? I was talking nicely to her just now. But this person acted like he didnât understand. Heâs not polite at all,â Claire said unhappily, âAnd who are you? Why do you care so much?â
The boy said indignantly, âIâm from the Combat Aura Faculty. Even if she didnât talk to you, you canât just go up and say that youâre touching her. Thatâs too rude.â
Audrey, who was suddenly supported by someone, subconsciously retracted her hand and looked at the boy who had suddenly appeared in front of her, although she did not know who this boy was, it was rare for her to have a good impression of him.
âWhy are you people from the combat aura faculty being so strict? Just mind your own business. Donât forget whose territory youâre in now.â Claire snorted coldly and looked at Audrey beside her.
âI donât care what kind of person you are. Just you wait. How dare a mere pharmacist be so arrogant? I advise you to quickly withdraw from the competition. If I see you in the arena, it wonât be as simple as getting slapped.â
She directly left this threat behind and turned to leave. Seeing the pink figure leave, Theodore sighed and turned to look at Audrey.
âAre you alright? Are your injuries serious? Do you need me to bring you to the infirmary?â
âIâm fine. I was just pushed a little. Thereâs not much of a problem,â Audrey said.
âSince thatâs the case, Iâm relieved. You should hurry up and find your friend. Try not to separate from your friend here. Otherwise, it will be very easy for something to happen. After all, this is someone elseâs territory,â reminded Theodore, she smiled brightly.
âOh right, let me introduce myself. My name is Theodore. If you need any help in the future, you can ask me for help.â
Looking at the cheerful smile of the little boy in front of her, Audrey curled the corners of her lips. This Theodore was really a good person.
In such a society, it was rare to see such a warm-hearted young man like him. It seemed like she could go easy on him the next time she met him.
Audrey raised her hand and patted the dust on the hem of her clothes. After thanking him, she turned around and left.
When Audrey returned to the arena, she realized that Kate had been seriously injured.
âKate, whatâs wrong with you?â Audrey hurriedly went up to him.
Kate, who was sitting next to him, still had traces of blood on his face. He smiled gently and raised his hand to wipe away the traces on his face.
