"There's no need."
Audrey refused.
At some point in time, the other teenagers had also appeared by her side. They looked at Audrey with curiosity.
"Klein, I think she's pretty good, " Cole said, "give it a try?"
Hobart sneered from the side, "Pretty good? Then, don't you know what kind of attitude you had towards her just now?"
"Didn't I want to test out his personality? I didn't expect him to be so smart. We just happen to need a very smart person here, " Cole joked with a smile.
Audrey looked up at the crowd, not understanding what they meant.
What did they mean... they needed a smart person.
Moreover, these young masters were not as incompatible as they appeared to be. On the contrary, they seemed to be on good terms with each other. They even seemed to be close friends.
"Looking at you, you probably don't know our plan. Then, let me introduce it to you." Klein smiled as he put the phoenix feather that he had just handed out into his pocket, "Let me put it this way. Do you really think that the Templar Knights are a completely bright place?"
Audrey did not say anything, but her beautiful azure eyes revealed a hint of deep thought.
Klein smiled and said, "You should know that there's a saying that goes like this. It's called 'where there's light, there's darkness'. It's the same in the Templar Knights.
"As the supreme combat strength of the Jones Empire, everyone in the Templar Knights can be said to exist for the Jones Empire. If we were to go to war with other countries one day, we would be the first to rush forward and die.
"Moreover, the last time we went out to play, we accidentally heard a great conspiracy."
Klein raised his hand to cover his mouth with a folding fan, and his voice became much softer.
"Klein, there's no need to tell her about this, right?" Cole frowned, looking a little disapproving.
"Since we've already decided to go with us, we naturally have to explain this matter clearly. After all, if we don't explain it clearly, it can be considered quite troublesome for us, " Klein said.
After Cole heard this, he did not say anything else.
Klein continued, "Just like what you've just heard, to put it bluntly, all of us here are puppets raised by the Jones Empire. We're just waiting for the day when we'll all be sent to the battlefield to die."
Audrey's breathing paused slightly. Jones Empire's... puppets?
"Therefore, we've already decided that we want to form a small team. Although we don't have any goals for the time being, we just want to wait until that time, when we're strong enough, then we can completely break free from the shackles and pursue the life we want.
"Therefore, Miss Audrey from the Davis family, are you willing to join us?"
Audrey lowered her eyes and pondered. This matter was too mystical for her, and the danger factor was too great. She had to think about it carefully.
However... she did not know why, but she suddenly felt that this idea was somewhat interesting. If she joined them, it might not be a bad thing.
"Alright." Audrey looked at them."I'm willing to join you."
The few of them had smiles on their faces. Klein smiled and extended his hand to her."Then, welcome to join us, Miss Audrey."
Audrey politely shook his hand.
The few of them had no idea how much of an impact their decision would have on the situation in the Jones Empire in the future.
After chatting for a moment, Klein told Audrey a special piece of news.
Although there seemed to be only three branches to choose from among the Templar Knights, in reality, there was a hidden branch, and that was the mages.
One had to know that in the current world, combat aura was the main force wherever one went. Magic had long been forgotten by the world. Now, there was actually a magic branch, which made Audrey somewhat unable to believe it.
Klein seemed to have seen the doubt on Audrey's face. After telling her a location, he asked her to find it herself.
However, before she went to find the mage faculty, Audrey still had a very important thing to do.
She was dragged into the classroom by the old man who had taken the potion exam at the beginning. Then, he gave her a pile of very rare herbs and asked her to make the potion in front of him.
"Teacher, if I remember correctly, this should be something that only high-level colleges would learn. A person like me doesn't have the qualifications to come into contact with such things, " Audrey said helplessly.
However, Thor looked indifferent."What's the big deal? When the test began, I could already tell that you're different from ordinary students. It's because of this that I chose to entrust this heavy responsibility to you."
Audrey pondered for a moment, and the words 'there's no need' suddenly flashed through her mind.
Indeed, she felt that it was nothing. She did not want to expose her identity now. She just wanted to be an ordinary student and make a name for herself in the Templar Knights. That was enough.
And looking at the old man in front of her, it was as if he wanted to nurture her as the main force.
This attracted the hostility of many people.
This was especially so for Daisy, who was beside her.
Audrey looked back and happened to meet Daisy's envious gaze.. There was even a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
