What happened that night at the freshmen's welcome ball embarrassed everyone in the Student Union, especially Caesar and the other two. Afterward, President Jefferson tried his best to keep a low profile in order to protect the reputation of the Andrea Family. However, there were too many people present that night, and it was impossible to keep any secret. So, the news eventually got out.
The original version only said that a certain freshman from the Swordsman Department had suddenly appeared at the Student Union's freshmen's welcome ball. Then, he fought against two opponents, consecutively defeating a second tier magician and a third tier magician. In the end, he left with the girl he loved. This kind of thing usually only appeared in novels. Who would have thought that it would actually happen in real life? In just a few days, the incident of that night had spread like wildfire in Siames.
At first, the news didn't reveal the names of the male and female protagonists, but nothing could stop the burning spirit of gossip among the onlookers. In less than two days, more and more rich details were dug out.
As the main person involved, Rob naturally couldn't escape. Not only was his background completely exposed, even the scandal with Lolo not long ago was dug out. What was even more shocking was that according to an insider, the young master of the Andrea Family had been pursuing Lolo. The reason why the freshmen's welcome ball was held earlier was because of him, and the purpose was to celebrate the girl's birthday.
The girls were all excited when they heard this news. Caesar was recognized as the perfect boyfriend by all the girls in the school. He was handsome, charming, gentle, and had a good family background. It was hard to imagine that such an outstanding man would be so obsessed with a girl. In order to pursue Lolo, he didn't hesitate to set up such a big battle, and even instigate the whole Student Union to cooperate with him, just to surprise and move his beloved girl. If it were an ordinary girl, she would have fallen for this romance long ago.
Compared to him, the guy named Rob who came out of nowhere was much dimmer. Most people hadn't even heard of this guy's name before.
But soon after that night, some busybodies found Rob's class. As a result, they found out from the students of the same year that this freshman rookie was completely ordinary.
It had been a long time since the school started. Except for a ridiculously fat roommate, he didn't have any other friends. He was only nodding acquaintances with most of the people in the class. His performance in the usual training classes was neither good nor bad, and he was inconspicuous in the crowd.
He seemed to have some special skills. Occasionally, he would participate in group activities, but basically, he was the kind with no desire to show off. Previously, a guy from the Swordsman Department had a social gathering with a girl from the Thief Department. That time, he and Gage also went, but they basically took this rare opportunity to drink and eat free snacks.
Perhaps the only thing that was slightly different from the rumors was that he was a commoner. The gossipers heard that this guy seemed to have a bakery outside. But even so, when he was put together with Caesar, who was from the Andrea Family, who was expected to compete for the position of the next head of the family, anyone would feel that there was no comparison between the two.
Therefore, there were many similar conspiracy theories. For example, some people suspected that Lolo was coerced by someone that night, and that she was under a mental spell. That was why she abandoned the young master of the Andrea Family and chose such an insignificant character. But in fact, everyone who attended the ball that night knew that this theory was completely untenable.
The girl's final decision was completely out of her own will. As long as one was not blind, everyone present could clearly see the feelings that the two revealed during the opening dance. On the contrary, Caesar looked awkward no matter how one looked at it, and he was more like a third party who had interfered.
Of course, due to the influence of the Andrea Family in the south, this kind of thing was not mentioned openly. But in private, there were many rumors that embarrassed Caesar. Therefore, recently, the young master of the Andrea Family had been wearing a gloomy face, and Leo, who followed behind him, was no longer as intimidating as before. Although the eyes of the vice president of the Student Council were still sharp, his nose that was wrapped several times in bandages looked funny no matter how one looked at it.
However, the most miserable one was Grant. He had already made a fool of himself by drawing a turtle on his face while investigating the game by the lake. This time, he was punched and sent flying in front of everyone. The physical damage was secondary, but the mental blow was the most fatal. This guy simply took a week off and locked himself in the dormitory, refusing to see anyone.
Rob had also encountered some trouble these days. Recently, no matter where he went on campus, there seemed to be eyes following him. Even during training classes, there were people pointing at him nearby, and there were many sneaky guys near the bakery.
Fortunately, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor was quite calm. Since he had appeared at the Student Council's ball, he had naturally expected what would happen next. That night, he had a sense of propriety and did not use any magic from the beginning to the end. He only relied on his own body to defeat Grant and Leo, which was something that most people found unimaginable!
Moreover, the two people involved, Grant and Leo, had been very secretive about the battle that night. So until now, no one knew how Rob, who was not even a Grade 1 Swordsman, defeated the two masters of the Student Council. And the most important part of this, his understanding of magic and his strong perception, was not something that could be seen from the outside.
In the end, this matter became a mystery.
In fact, no one could be blamed for not being able to guess it. In the history of mankind, there had never been a case of a high-level Magician changing to a Swordsman halfway through. Naturally, there was no Swordsman like Rob.
Therefore, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor was not worried that his true identity would be exposed. However, after this incident, he realized that the identity of the little scholar he had been using was becoming more and more difficult to maintain.
In Gudilesi, not only did he have to complete his studies and manage the bakery, he also had to protect Lolo against the threat from the Temple. Apart from that, he also had to battle wits and courage with the master of the Black Serpent Golem, decipher the secrets hidden in Saint Roland's Brotherhood Academy, and uncover the truth of the incident that happened to the Bretton Family.
If this continued, he would one day run into trouble, be it the Temple, the Andrea Family, or the mysterious secret protector behind Siamus. Compared to these people, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor's biggest problem was that he couldn't get help from the local forces.
Whether it was Lolo or him, they were out-and-out outsiders to the city of Gudilesi. Now, Rob even had to be sneaky about setting up a temporary laboratory. If he had the support of a force, he naturally wouldn't have to worry about this.
Another example was the young master of the Andrea Family. According to the normal development of the story, that guy would definitely think of ways to take revenge after suffering such a huge loss at the ball. He would most likely ask for help from the family, and then the Andrea Family would send experts. If he was forced to use magic, he would have no choice but to silence them. Then, the entire Andrea Family would be shocked and send even more experts. Thus, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor would be forced to reap another wave of heads …
If this continued, he would fall into a vicious cycle. The enmity between the two sides would grow bigger and bigger. In the end, he might even have to find time to annihilate the entire Andrea Family. So why bother?
If he could reveal his identity, he could directly look for the current Patriarch of the Andrea Family and have a peaceful chat with him. Then, he could say something along the lines of, "You have to control that naughty kid of yours. If he dares to provoke me again, I'll chop him up and feed him to the dogs!" After the friendly greetings, the Andrea Family would probably find a cold place thousands of miles away on the map and send the latter there overnight.
