Chapter 685: Return to the World of Shadow Realm Powerhouses!
Chapter 685: Return to the World of Shadow Realm Powerhouses!
At the Mage Swordsman Academy in the royal capital of Midgar, Yecheng and his companions had returned to their studies after the conclusion of the 'Goddess's Trial' at the Sacred Ground of Lindblum.
"Yecheng, I baked these cookies myself. Please accept them if you don't mind."
"Yecheng, are you free after school? I'd like to invite you to explore the Shiyue Merchant Guild. I heard they recently introduced a new food called 'Hamburger', which is said to be incredibly delicious."
"Yecheng..."
Sitting in his seat, Yecheng had lost count of how many times he had politely declined invitations from his female classmates.
Ever since the conclusion of the 'Goddess's Trial' at the Sacred Ground, Yecheng's reputation had skyrocketed.
While he was already quite renowned in the royal capital and the Mage Swordsman Academy, it was merely fame and nothing more.
As a genius Mage Swordsman, he was just a genius, not yet fully matured, and thus, he had not caught the attention of the influential figures.
However, after the 'Goddess's Trial', Yecheng's status had completely transformed.
Previously, he was merely a genius at the Mage Swordsman Academy and the youngest knight of the Crimson Knight Order, known for his youthful talent but not particularly dazzling.
But during the 'Goddess's Trial', Yecheng summoned one of the three heroes, Olivier, and defeated the summoned Heroic Spirit projection with his strength.
In the past, warriors who could summon Heroic Spirit projections during the 'Goddess's Trial' would already be renowned throughout the kingdom, and those who could defeat the summoned Heroic Spirits would gain fame across the continent.
However, during that 'Goddess's Trial', Yecheng not only summoned one of the 'Three Heroes', Olivier, but also directly defeated the summoned spirit, causing his name to resound throughout the entire continent.
This was not to mention that in the Holy Realm, Yecheng had not only defeated the materialized Olivier but also the Calamity Witch, Aurora, and had drawn the Lake Holy Sword, becoming the 'Hero'.
Otherwise, he estimated that he might not have even been able to attend the academy.
Only a few people knew about Yecheng drawing the Lake Holy Sword, and naturally, the members of the Shadow Courtyard would keep this information a secret.
Princess Alice and Princess Alexia of the Midgar Kingdom, along with Roz, had also promised to keep it confidential.
Even if the events in the Holy Realm and the matter of the Holy Sword were kept hidden, the 'Goddess's Trial' itself had occurred in full view of the public. Even if Yecheng wanted to conceal it, it was impossible.
Defeating one of the former 'Three Heroes', Olivier, even if it was just a Heroic Spirit projection, was enough to make Yecheng's reputation soar.
Even a fool could see that Yecheng, at just over ten years old, had achieved so much, and his future prospects were undoubtedly boundless.
Yecheng's family, the Medis family, was merely a border noble, and to the nobles of the royal capital, they were considered insignificant.
Even with Yecheng's previous excellence, they would only give him a cursory glance.
But after the trial at the Sacred Ground, their opinions changed instantly.
For many years, warriors who excelled in the 'Goddess's Trial' at the Sacred Ground eventually rose to great heights.
In simpler terms, the so-called 'Goddess's Trial' was more like a future resume.
Yecheng had accomplished a feat that no one had achieved in centuries, which indicated that his future achievements would be limitless.
Currently, the Medis family was still a border noble, and although Yecheng held a title, he had no territory and had not yet risen to prominence.
In other words, if one wanted to win them over or form an alliance through marriage, now would be the best time!
Currently, they are merely heirs to a border noble family, but in a few years, they might become out of reach.
This led to the popular Night City in the academy becoming even more popular.
The noble female students, who once maintained their dignity, are now boldly expressing their love.
Night City's mother, Medis Omega, originally planned to return to her territory after her trip to the Sacred Ground.
But now, she couldn't go back at all. Every day, she receives numerous invitations to attend tea parties hosted by noblewomen.
These invitations come from countesses, marchionesses, and even duchesses and queens.
Poor Medis, although she is a noble, is merely the wife of a border baron. She has never even heard of countesses, let alone queens.
In this medieval world, the class system is strictly enforced. As a lower-ranking noble, if she were to decline the invitations of these upper-class ladies, it would be considered extremely rude.
If they were to take offense, it could bring disaster to Medis' territory.
To avoid causing trouble for her husband and son, Medis, despite her nervousness, had no choice but to accept the invitations to these elite tea parties.
At first, Medis thought that attending such high-class tea parties as a third-rate noble from the countryside would make her a laughingstock.
But after attending her first tea party, she realized that she had overthought it.
Not only was she not mocked by the elite ladies and young noblewomen, but as soon as she arrived, she instantly became the center of attention.
"You must be Lady Medis, right? You're just as noble and beautiful as I imagined."
As soon as Medis arrived at the tea party, she was warmly greeted by a countess she didn't know, who enthusiastically grabbed her wrist. Their passionate smiles made it seem like they were long-lost sisters.
"This gown Lady Medis is wearing must be a limited edition from the Shiyue Merchant Guild, right? I heard that the guild only designed a few pieces because of the intricate craftsmanship, and each one is unique. Even the Duchess herself couldn't buy one despite offering a huge sum of money."
As the countess held Medis' hand and warmly inquired about her well-being, a noblewoman nearby recognized the black gown Medis was wearing, which was from the famous Shiyue Merchant Guild in the capital.
Hearing their exclamations, Medis was completely baffled. What was this Shiyue Merchant Guild? What limited edition gown? She had no idea about any of it.
The gown she was wearing was sent to her mansion by a woman named "New," who said it was a gift from her son, Night City.
In addition to this gown, there were also various other outfits and matching jewelry.
Night City was just a student, and even with his work in the Knight Order, his salary couldn't be that high. Medis had always assumed the jewelry was fake and the clothes were cheap.
But since it was a gift from her son, she decided to wear it. She hadn't brought any formal gowns with her to the capital, so she wore what Night City had bought, thinking they were cheap. But now...
