Chapter 264: The Protagonist and the Supporting Character
Chapter 264: The Protagonist and the Supporting Character
"Seven Shadows" learned a lot about "modern society" from Sida, and they referred to this knowledge as "Shadow Wisdom."
This was a world set in the medieval era, and its cultural and entertainment levels were undoubtedly far behind the vibrant 21st century.
Therefore, the so-called "Shadow Wisdom," in the hands of the Seven Shadows, was naturally put to its best use.
Sida probably never imagined that the knowledge he usually used to brag about would, after being learned by the "Seven Shadows," develop to such an extent.
He also never expected the Seven Shadows to be so capable of causing trouble. In just a few short years, they had gathered so many "Possessed Demons" from all over the world and expanded the 'Shadow Courtyard' to its current scale.
Midgar Mage Knight Academy, despite being the largest mage knight academy in the kingdom, had a surprisingly low entry threshold.
As long as one possessed a certain foundation in mana and swordsmanship, along with a noble background, they could qualify for admission.
Originally, Gaius believed that with Yecheng's strength and swordsmanship, there was no need to waste time at Midgar Mage Knight Academy. Even if he inherited the territory now, it wouldn't be a problem.
However, Yecheng's mother, Medis, disagreed. As a mother, Medis believed that with her son's excellence, he shouldn't be confined to a rural barony. She wanted him to set his sights further.
Moreover, her son had a naturally reclusive personality. If he didn't take this opportunity to experience the outside world and college life, would he end up like her and his father, hiding in the countryside and growing old?
Of course, besides Medis, Yecheng himself also had the intention to go to Midgar Mage Knight Academy in the capital.
After all, even Sida, the "Child of the World," planned to go there, and in various otherworldly stories, the capital was always one of the most important stages. Yecheng couldn't miss out on such an opportunity.
During the opening season of Midgar Mage Knight Academy, when Yecheng and Sida arrived at the academy's entrance together, Sida proactively distanced himself from Yecheng and acted as if they were strangers.
The reason was simple: Sida's dream was to become a "Shadow Power Seeker," and as someone who could only show off in the shadows, his public persona was that of an inconspicuous supporting character.
Now, seven years had passed, and the current fifteen-year-old Yecheng not only had a handsome appearance but also dazzling silver-white hair and an elegant noble aura.
With such qualities and looks, even if he were thrown into a female-oriented novel, he would undoubtedly be the male lead. How could Sida maintain his role as a supporting character while being around such a person?
A supporting character should be someone who is completely unremarkable and lacks any distinctive features.
Sida was now looking for people like this in the crowd, planning to join them to solidify his supporting character role!
"Who's that guy? He's such a show-off, and he's getting all that attention even though we're all freshmen. What gives?"
"Exactly! I didn't think the people in the capital would have such bad taste. That guy is obviously a player who toys with women's hearts."
Hearing these typical loser remarks, Sida looked at the two speakers. One had golden hair but a delinquent-like demeanor, while the other had a rice ball-shaped head and a lecherous expression. Sida's eyes lit up.
It was clear that he had found the so-called "Extra Group," and by joining such a group, his character setup would become more perfect.
An already unremarkable character mingling with obvious cannon fodder would solidify his ordinary persona.
However, approaching them directly and expressing his desire for friendship would be too obvious, and they might not accept him.
After some deliberation, Sida's face contorted with righteous indignation: "Damn Yecheng! We're all from the same place, but this guy is always so popular."
"If I could, I'd love to put him in a sack and beat him up, so he'd stop showing off!"
Sida intended for the extras to hear his words, so he carefully controlled his expression, tone, and volume.
Hearing Sida's indignant words, the extras, who had been listening, were drawn to him.
"You can't stand that show-off either?"
Seeing Sida's indignation, the extras felt like they had found a kindred spirit. When they heard Sida's plan to take action against Yecheng, they looked at him with a sense of camaraderie, as if they had found a long-lost friend.
"I'm Jaga Imo," introduced a tall boy with blond hair and a rogue-like demeanor.
"I'm Rulo Gari," said a short, rice-ball-headed boy with an extremely low presence.
"So, Jaga and Rulo? I'm Sida Kageno."
Hearing their introductions, Sida quickly introduced himself, putting on an act of being a country bumpkin.
"Sida-kun, is it true you know that show-off and were planning to take action against him?"
Jaga was very interested in what Sida had said. As new students, they were all freshmen, especially Jaga and Rulo, who had hoped to lose their virginity during their wonderful college life.
But among their peers, there was a damn normie, making them envious, jealous, and hateful.
With such a character among their classmates, how could they fulfill their wish to lose their virginity?
"Of course, I know him. He's Yecheng Omega, the heir to the nearby Omega Baron's territory. In our area, he's had the nickname 'Child of the Gods' since he was young.
Whether it's his looks, demeanor, magic, swordsmanship, or how he conducts himself, he's like a perfect Child of the Gods. In our neighborhood, he's the nightmare of his peers.
I was just talking about putting him in a sack and knocking him out. It was just talk. With my strength, I couldn't possibly sneak up on him.
But I hate him, no doubt. Even my beloved older sister, who was once a siscon, met him and was taken by him!"
Sida didn't know how much Kreaya, the former siscon, had suffered. For Sida, Yecheng was his savior, drawing fire away from him.
But now, in front of the extras, Sida became a victim.
