The Genius Mage

Chapter 205: Show of Goodwill?

When Kate woke up, he found himself lying on the bed beside a very familiar scene.

If he remembered correctly, he seemed to be watching the game at that time. But then, he suddenly saw a figure appear in front of him. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain on the back of his neck, and then…

He lost consciousness.

Kate raised his hand and rubbed his temples. He felt a terrible headache, and he had no idea what had happened when he was unconscious.

“Kate, you’re awake.” A familiar voice sounded in his ear.

Kate looked up and saw Audrey, who was guarding beside him. But, unfortunately, Audrey seemed to have been here for a long time. Even her face showed obvious fatigue.

“Audrey, I’m…” Kate said suspiciously.

Audrey looked away. “It’s nothing. I guess the potion I made had some side effects. You fell into a coma not long after drinking it.”

Kate frowned. He could not believe that Audrey had said that.

After all, everyone knew how powerful Audrey was. She was definitely very good at making potions. So how could she make such a low-level mistake?

Moreover, he clearly remembered that he had been attacked, which was why he had fainted. So why did Audrey choose to say that it was because of her potion?

Kate hesitated for a moment. He had a feeling that Audrey was hiding something from him.

And it was something very important.

“So that’s how it is. No wonder I’ve been unconscious for such a long time. I don’t have any memory of what happened before,” Kate said as if nothing had happened. “Audrey, it seems like you need to learn more about potions.”

His tone sounded very relaxed, as if he was joking.

Audrey smiled gently. “I know. If such a thing happens again, I definitely won’t give you such a defective product.”

The matter ended so easily.

The next day in the arena, Audrey was as usual. She waited obediently for her turn and ended the battle within a short period of time. Her overwhelming strength left everyone dumbstruck.

It was also because of this that many people ran over to get closer to Audrey after the competition ended.

They tried to ask her to show some mercy when they ran into her later.

Just as Audrey was packing her things and preparing to go to the Magic Faculty to continue studying, a girl wearing a scarf came over.

“That… Audrey, I see that your results this time are pretty good. Congratulations.” A girl wearing a scarf came over.

Audrey glanced at her. She had an impression of this person. The two seemed to be in the same class. They would occasionally exchange a few words, but they would not have much interaction.

“Thank you.” Audrey thanked her. “How are you? Are you alright?”

Candice forced a smile. “Not too good either. I was eliminated this afternoon. If I’m lucky, I can still enter the intermediate class. If I’m unlucky… I guess I’ll have to stay here.”

She was from an inconspicuous branch of the Davis family, and she was not the eldest daughter. She was ranked third, which was why she did not have much of an existence.

“I don’t think so,” Audrey comforted her.

While Audrey was observing the competition, she had already secretly recorded it in her heart. Although it seemed like many people had successfully advanced in this competition, their strength was uneven.

The main reason was that the gap in strength was too severe. This resulted in a situation where the strong might encounter the weak in the later stages. For example, the two people she met today were not very strong to be easily dealt with.

Candice forced a smile. “I know you’re saying this to comfort me, but I don’t need to be comforted. I know my own strength very well.”

Audrey did not say anything. Instead, she just looked at the girl in front of her indifferently.

She could sense a strong aura from the girl. It was a denial of herself.

If a person denied themselves from the inside out, they might not have any achievements in their lifetime. Although people who could enter the Templar Knights could be considered outstanding in the outside world, the problem was… no matter how powerful they were. There would always be someone stronger than them.

This was indeed a matter that tested one’s mentality.

“In that case, I can only advise you to work hard when the competition starts,” Audrey said.

Candice smiled. “Thank you. Actually, the main reason I came to find you this time is to get to know you. I’m also from the Davis family. If it’s possible, can the two of us look after each other here?”

Candice carefully brought up this matter.

Although the two of them came from the same family, Audrey was the daughter of the patriarch. She had received a lot of attention since she was young, so it could be said that she was completely different from her.

Before Audrey could say anything, Candice hurriedly rejected her.

“I’m sorry, I forgot. You probably don’t remember me. Then, treat this matter as if I’ve never mentioned it before…”

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.

“I remember.” Audrey looked at her. “Candice Davis, I remember you.”

It was this sentence that made Candice look up in disbelief.
