The villainess shall be mine-Chapter 147 Reactions

After Adam left with the twins, every person present within the training area felt like a huge boulder was taken off of their shoulders, and the feeling that felt like a metal chain wrapping around their heart was finally gone.

Uriella was the one who had taken a lot of mental damage from what had just happened.

She wasn't a bad person otherwise Redmond wouldn't have let her in charge of the participants but she had a pretty stubborn character.

"Are you alright, Miss Uriella?" One of the ten high-level gift holders who were tasked to help the participants approached Uriella as she still looked confused.

Still, no one could blame her after what happened. Some of the participants were still trembling.

"Don't worry, I am fine. I need to talk with Redmond. I will leave the rest to you guys." After a few minutes, Uriella regained her usual composure and stood up then left without making any comment.

She never felt this humiliated before but at the same time, she experienced being utterly powerless.

Nevertheless, she didn't let any of that show on her face or attitude as left.

"My master asked me to retrieve his and his guests' ID cards." Blanca's voice startled the man who held the ID cards.

Only a few people noticed that she didn't leave with Adam because they were focused on Adam himself.

Moreover, Adam was one thing but the woman who was standing in front of those high-level gift holders made them feel pressured.

Most of them were level 7 gift holders, and they were proficient at using their but they couldn't evaluate Blanca's strength.

"Certainly. What's your master's and his guests' name?"

Nonetheless, they had their pride as members of the Raizel family, and even after what happened, all of them acted as if nothing happened.

"His Name is… Adam, Adam Von Kepalta. His guests are Rose and Azalea Vyh Kristen," Blanca said, and it looked like she forgot Adam's name but Cristal reminded her.

"Please wait for a few moments, I am searching for their ID cards."

While Blanca was waiting for the man to find Adam's ID cards, the other trainers began to organize the participants.

However, the participants were still chatting among themselves and Adam began the focus on their discussions.

Most of them never experienced this kind of situation before, so they began to share their experiences with others.

"What do you think Banred?" Even Alexander who was always prideful and confident asked Banred's opinion on what happened because he didn't know how to interpret it. After all, no matter how he thought about it, there was no way for him to say something about himself seeing what happened.

"What do you want me to say? We all know about stories of powerful gift holders and we grew up trying to be like them. That g-… That person is just like the power gift holders depicted in those stories. However, that doesn't mean that our goal will change, does it? Instead, we should try harder to catch up to him," Barned said and he looked frustrated but at the end of his sentence, a confident smile appeared on his face.

Everyone else nodded at his words, and their group's morale had increased a big.

Indeed, rather than envying Adam and criticizing his actions, they should focus on how to achieve his level.

Barned was frustrated even though he said these words, and he knew that everyone else must be the same. They trained hard to hone their skills and increase their level but in front of Adam, they were the same as everyone else.

This fact was hard to accept, mostly for someone like Alexander, so Barned's words were important.

After all, if they focused on what happened and compared what they had achieved to what Adam did, they would never reach the next level, Banred understood this.

"But I wonder why did he ask the twins to come with him," Felicia remarked.

"I am wondering about that too," Yoru added.

Indeed, all of this had happened because Adam had asked the twins to come with him, an action that puzzled everyone else. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

The same question popped up inside of their mind but there couldn't come up with an answer.

"Well, it depends on what he saw during his observation," Barned replied. "He must have seen things that we didn't. Well, it makes sense considering his power."

"I wonder what did he see," Felicia mumbled.

Barned and his group weren't the only ones who wondered about the reasons behind Adam's actions.

At first, some people thought that Adam was trying to exploit the girls because they appeared to be weak but seeing how strong he was, people found this more unlikely.

Thus, they reached another conclusion and speculated that the twins might be more special.

Of course, some denied all of those theories and just thought that Adam was arrogant.

These people weren't convinced that they wouldn't be able to win against Adam. They thought that in a serious fight, they still have a chance and this time, they were just taken by surprise.

Among the participants, some began to admire Adam and found him cool, but some wanted to test his abilities. Some had even thought about seducing him or getting close to him to increase their own influence and take advantage of Adam's strength.

"Hmph! I know a lot of people who are stronger than him. And it's not like his gift is that powerful. It looks like he can control metal. In other words, an elemental gift. In a few months, I will be already above him and I will make sure to pay him back for this," the blonde boy who had his testicles compressed said, and even though he could still feel the pain between his legs, he had already begun to talk arrogantly.

Listening to all of this, Blanca wondered if this was also within Adam's expectations. After all, she noticed that there was something a little bit odd about some people's reactions.

It looked like some of them were not even fazed after seeing Adam's demonstration of power. Moreover, even though Blanca didn't really care about these people, she found it interesting that Adam displayed his power in front of them.

She wondered about why Adam had chosen this method though or was he genuinely angry? Bianca couldn't tell.

"Here are the ID cards."

After retrieving the ID cards, Blanca left immediately but people were observing her.

Who was she? Why was she with Adam? Was she strong? They couldn't guess the answer to these questions.

"What's the meaning of this, Redmond?!" Entering Redmond's office, Uriella spoke with an almost furious tone.

"Meaning of?" Redmond had already seen Uriella angry before so he wasn't really surprised but he didn't expect to see her in such a mood that day. After all, she looked extremely excited to see the participants.

"That kid, why didn't you tell me that he was this troublesome? You talked with him right?"

"What do you mean?"

"He just forced us all to kneel to the ground and spouted some kind of nonsense and then forced two girls to come to his room. I admit that he is strong but his attitude is very problematic," Uriella said, and she sat abruptly on top of a luxury sofa-like chair. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

"Did you see him do all of that?" Redmond inquired.

"Yes, I did. Well, he was already on his way back when I caught him and asked him to explain himself," Uriella said.

"Is that all? From what I saw earlier, Adam is smart and tends always to act rationally. So have you asked him the right questions? Depending on what you said, you might have found it offending and I already told you that he has the status of a Lord. Adam is a prideful individual and he can take responsibility for his decisions there must be a reason why he asked these girls to come with him," Redmond explained.

"What? You don't trust me?"

"I am just saying that you might have not entirely understood the situation."

"I understand it perfectly. That brat is trying to use his power to do everything he wants," Uriella said in an annoyed tone.

"Uriella, this isn't unlike you. I know that he is not like the other kids but that doesn't necessarily mean that he has bad intentions. He may be young but he is stronger than you and has a higher status than you, so you have to show him the respect he deserves. Didn't you see how he acted once he was given the treatment he deserved? I knew that the method we used was unusual and you seemed to enjoy bossing the kids around, but if these kids claim their rights and you know that they deserve it, ignoring them would be the same as denying the Empire," Redmond said.

Uriella reflected on her actions but what happened had still made her feel irritated.

"Even so…"

"We will talk with him together later and ask him directly. However, you need to act properly in front of him," Redmond continued.
