The group of juniors all looked at John with mixed expressions. Some stared at him with curiosity, some confusion, and some as if he was stupid, with both Russell and Mason staring at him in such a manner. Mae and Hartley stared at John with amused curiosity, while June ignored everyone, focusing only on the gate in front of her.
John began to become annoyed at how many of them were staring at him, namely the two boys in the front of the group.
"Look at this stupid bumpkin, daring to step forward despite only being in the mid Qi Condensation Realm," Mason commented in a snide tone, causing John to frown.
"What the fuck are you looking at?" John grumbled out towards Mason and Russell.
He was still in a bad mood from his arduous journey, and did not like the way he was being looked at by those two, as if he was beneath them. He had been on constant edge in the forest, always having to be prepared for a battle with a powerful beast at a moments notice.
