Chapter 286: Yecheng Joins the Royal Knight Order
Chapter 286: Yecheng Joins the Royal Knight Order
After two days of rest, Yecheng finally returned to the Mage Knight Academy for classes. His body, which had been in good shape, was further nourished by a feast of meat and fish during this time, making him feel incredibly refreshed.
Kreaya and Alexia frequently visited him, bringing various supplements and nutritious items each time.
After two days of rest, Yecheng returned to the Mage Knight Academy, and his popularity soared even higher.
The reason was simple: the recent events in the capital city had reached the ears of most within the academy, and even the kingdom's strongest Mage Swordsman, Princess Alice, had come to the academy to request leave on Yecheng's behalf, explaining the situation to the academy's director.
With such an exceptional student in their midst, the Mage Knight Academy naturally wanted to recognize his achievements.
Thus, while Yecheng was still lying in bed, the news of his heroic deeds spread throughout the academy.
Initially, the story was relatively accurate, but as it spread from person to person, it became more and more exaggerated.
Tales of uncovering a corrupt teacher's scheme, enduring humiliation to deceive the Phantom Snake, and bravely rescuing a princess from the heart of danger emerged.
As these various narratives intertwined, Yecheng himself was astounded by his own supposed greatness.
Yecheng had already been popular in the academy due to his outstanding academic performance and handsome appearance.
After this incident, he even topped the list of the Mage Knight Academy's "Most Desired Love Interest."
His popularity soared due to his excellent academic performance, good looks, powerful abilities, exceptional intelligence, and chivalrous nature, which were the common perceptions of the female students in the Mage Knight Academy.
Of course, Yecheng couldn't please everyone, as he wasn't made of money or gold.
Due to his immense popularity among the female students, many male students began to view him as a rival, a public enemy of sorts.
"Damn it! How can that guy be so amazing? We're all born of the same flesh and blood!"
"Sida, didn't you grow up with him? Don't you know any embarrassing childhood stories or juicy gossip about him?"
Jaga and Rxu looked on with a mixture of envy, jealousy, and hatred as they watched the numerous girls flock around Yecheng after class.
Previously, they thought the gap between themselves and Yecheng was bridgeable, and their recent efforts had brought them closer. But now, after witnessing Yecheng's extraordinary actions, they could only watch his back as he moved further ahead.
Hearing the comments of his two friends, Sida couldn't help but roll his eyes.
These two idiots, they should be focusing on studying instead of harassing girls! Even if Yecheng hadn't displayed his prowess in this incident, their annoying behavior would only push him further away.
It's worth mentioning that Sida was once again accepted by this pair of scoundrels and temporarily bestowed the title of "Best Friend."
The reason was that he had been dumped by Alexia, or more accurately, they had mutually agreed to end their fake relationship.
Alexia had asked Sida to pretend to be her boyfriend to deal with her Fiance, JENO GULIPI. Now that the latter was gone, there was no need to continue the charade.
However, the other students in the academy, including Jaga and Rxu, were unaware of the truth. They believed that Alexia had been saved by Yecheng, and now, having witnessed his heroic rescue, she had fallen for him, discarding Sida like a defeated dog.
Seeing Sida in a worse state than himself, Jaga and Rxu, as his "dearest friends", naturally embraced their injured "dearest friend" once again.
"Is it about Yecheng's embarrassment? I don't recall any such scene, but I still advise you not to plot against him again.
Not long ago, I heard from my sister that she and Yecheng were invited by Princess Alice to join the newly reorganized Royal Knight Order."
After this incident, to investigate and respond to the sudden appearance of the Diabros Cult and Shadow Courtyard, Alice reorganized the Royal Knight Order.
Through this incident, she realized that the previous Royal Knight Order was too arrogant, and this time, the enemy was not ordinary thieves or criminals, but an unprecedentedly powerful force.
In the previous Royal Knight Order, there were many members, but among them were several second-generation members from various noble families who were there just for show.
The abilities of these second-generation members were uneven, directly lowering the overall level of the Royal Knight Order, and during this battle, they couldn't help at all.
So this time, Alice requested her father, the King of the Midgar Kingdom, to allow her to form a new Royal Knight Order, and all members must be selected by her personally.
Alice's reputation as the strongest Mage Swordsman in the Midgar Kingdom was well-known, and as soon as this Knight Order was established, it directly gathered many excellent Mage Swordsmen from the kingdom.
To quickly enhance the combat power of the Knight Order, Kreaya, who had always been on Alice's radar, and Yecheng, who performed exceptionally this time, naturally received invitations as well.
Regarding Kreaya, let's leave it aside for now, Yecheng was someone Alice believed must be invited into the Knight Order.
In the previous battle, Alice discovered Yecheng's outstanding Talent and strength, perhaps his practical combat abilities were slightly weaker than her own.
But looking throughout the entire Royal Capital, it would be hard to find a few Mage Swordsmen of the same age who could match him.
To invite Yecheng to join the Knight Order, Alice even promised him the position of "Deputy Commander" and applied for a noble title from her father for him.
In this incident, Yecheng first uncovered the plot of the Diabros Cult, and then contributed significantly to the defense of the Royal Capital and the rescue of Princess Alexia. If the Royal Family didn't offer some recognition and rewards, it would be quite unreasonable.
So, a week after Yecheng "recovered" and returned to the Academy, Alice also came to the Academy again, bringing the good news of Yecheng's new title as a Viscount.
In this medieval world, there were typically six levels of noble titles: King, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.
Yecheng's cheap father, Gais, and Sida's father, Kageno, were both low-level nobles from remote rural areas, holding the title of Baron.
But after this, Yecheng directly skipped the Baron level and obtained the noble title of Viscount. Even before inheriting his family's title, his personal title had already surpassed that of his cheap father.
Although Yecheng only received a title this time without any territory, the rank of the title was clear, and in the future, Gais would have to address him as Viscount Yecheng.
To compensate for the lack of territory, the King even generously bestowed a manor in the Royal Capital to Yecheng, expressing his gratitude for saving his daughter.
