A Man Like None Other

Jubilante turned slowly to face Jared and inquired, “What did you just say?” “I said your conduct doesn’t match your position,” Jared retorted directly. Jared’s remark immediately shocked Cade. The surrounding alchemists were left in disbelief as they stared at Jared in utter amazement.

“Where did this guy come from? He’s got some nerve talking to Jubilante like that!” “Absolutely audacious. How dare he say Jubilante’s conduct doesn’t match his status?” “He’s done. Even the Seizon family can’t save him now.” The alchemists chattered among themselves, ready to witness Jared’s downfall.

Cade attempted to speak up for Jared. “Jubilante, he-” Before Cade could finish, Jubilante gestured for him to stop talking. Jubilante looked at Jared icily and asked, “You said my conduct doesn’t match my status?” “Yes,” Jared replied nonchalantly.

“Do you even know who you’re talking to?” Jubilante narrowed his eyes slightly.

“I feel like you’re all talk. I don’t think you can even pass the tests you yourself set up,” Jared provocatively remarked.

Jared’s statement aimed to resonate with many alchemists who believed the assessment was too difficult, even for Jubilante himself. Sure enough, as soon as Jared spoke, it caused a commotion among the alchemists.
