In Tresia Knight Academy's hall, someone walked toward Kaunitz. It was Dick, who had previously made a bet with Hogan that Fang Xingjian would definitely not be able to get into the top five.
Instructor Dick looked at Kaunitz and said with a smile, "I heard that in this Prefectural Selection, Kaunitz, you're the leader among the younger generation. It seems like you'll be Kirst's leader in the future."
"Instructor, you're too kind." Kaunitz said humbly, "Fei Yang Academy's Barbara, Shadow Moon Academy's Boris, and Aristocrat Academy's Ferdinand are all outstanding candidates …"
"But you're the most outstanding one, aren't you?" Dick patted Kaunitz's shoulder and said, "I have high hopes for you. In the Prefectural Selection a few years later, you'll definitely be the one to lead Kirst's Knights to shine."
Kaunitz lowered his head and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you for your praise, instructor."
"You don't have to be so reserved. After you enter the academy, I'll still be your teacher. After the Prefectural Selection, we'll be comrades." Dick said, "I have another motive for coming here. There are some societies in the academy, and I'm representing Kirst Condor Society to invite you to join them."
Kaunitz's gaze turned serious. Kirst Condor Society could be said to be a society that all aristocrats who had joined Kirst Royal Knight Academy were bound to join.
This was a society where aristocratic Knights would form alliances and help one another.
Hearing Dick's request, Kaunitz felt slightly excited.
'As expected, my results are outstanding enough for people from the society to come looking for me directly, and not like ordinary people who have to register themselves?'
Kaunitz nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "I can't wait any longer."
Dick smiled and shook Kaunitz's hand, saying, "Welcome to our society."
Just then, a commotion broke out among the crowd.
"They're here, they're here."
"It's the person who delivered the results."
Dick looked into the distance, then smiled and patted Kaunitz's shoulder, saying, "Go, this is your moment."
Kaunitz nodded heavily, a hint of excitement flashing past his face. He said to Vivian, "Wait for me here, I'll be back in a while."
Outside the gate, a staff member from Kirst Royal Knight Academy was holding onto a stack of documents, being sent to Tresia Knight Academy's Headmaster.
Tresia Knight Academy's Headmaster was an old man with sparse hair and grizzled sideburns. He wore a black swallow-tailed coat and exuded the demeanor of an ancient aristocrat. His refined and refined manner made him seem more like a gentleman than a warrior.
He was the current head of the Tresia Clan, Kaunitz's biological father.
Receiving the results from the academy, the old man smiled and looked at Kaunitz, saying, "In this year's Prefectural Selection, our Tresia Clan will finally have another Knight. This is not only an honor for our clan, but it also proves that the Empire is strong and prosperous. Here, let us toast to the Empire."
As he said that, he raised the wine glass in his hand, and the people below also raised their glasses.
"Long live the empire!"
"Long live!"
After finishing his glass, Tresia Clan's head said to Kaunitz, "Kaunitz, my youngest son, come and take a look at this results list. This is what you deserve after over ten years of hard work."
Kaunitz had long been prepared and walked up. This had been specially prepared to increase his prestige in the clan, to let the many aristocrats in Kirst get to know him.
Kaunitz smiled as he received the document, slowly opened it, and scanned through it.
Amongst the crowd, Vivian looked happily at Kaunitz, who was on the stage. She looked at the aristocrats around her, at their luxurious clothes, lavish food, and luxurious decorations. She looked at the maids and attendants who were constantly shuttling about, and her heart was filled with excitement.
'This is the life I want, to be part of the upper class in society. This is something that I'll never be able to obtain in The School of Sword Arts.
'Although Kaunitz is a little boring, he can be considered a good partner. It's just that his family's matters are a little troublesome, but as long as he can help me get into Tresia Knight Academy, it'll be enough. Here …'
However, at the next moment, Kaunitz's expression changed abruptly, and hints of fury flashed in his eyes.
"What's going on?" He looked at the person who had delivered the letter and said, "Is there a mistake with this name list?"
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
A commotion broke out. Seeing this, the clan head pressed down on Kaunitz's shoulder and said, "Calm down."
"But …" Kaunitz was about to speak when he felt a strong pressure coming from his father's palm, causing him to be unable to move.
The clan head received the name list and raised his brows slightly. However, he remained calm and said, "The tenth place in this Prefectural Selection is Aristocrat Academy's Carter. The ninth place is … "
As the clan head revealed the name list, everyone immediately became nervous. Even some of the Tresia Academy's students who had participated in the Prefectural Selection but had not gotten good results were staring at the clan head's mouth, as if they felt that if they were lucky, they might also appear on the name list.
"The sixth place is Fei Yang Knight Academy's Barbara.
"The fifth place is Shadow Moon Academy's Boris.
"The fourth place is Aristocrat Academy's Ferdinand.
"The third place …" The clan head paused for a moment, before continuing with his usual expression, "Tresia Knight Academy's Kaunitz."
After he said this, everyone present looked at Kaunitz in surprise, as if wondering how he could be ranked third. The first place was definitely Robert. Then who would be in second place? He had actually stolen the limelight from Kaunitz and the other three.
However, when Kaunitz heard his own name, his expression sank and turned even more grim.
The clan head continued, "The second place is Robert Abel."
"What?"
"How could this be?"
"Robert Abel, who had gone through the first transition, is only in second place? Then who will be in first place? "
"There's someone who has already gone through the first transition in this Prefectural Selection?"
The clan head paused for a moment, as if wondering who the person in first place was. However, after searching through his mind, he could not find anyone. He continued, "The Prefectural Champion for this year's Prefectural Selection is The School of Sword Arts' Fang Xingjian."
"Fang Xingjian? Who is that?"
"Someone from The School of Sword Arts? Wasn't it said that it had already declined? "
An aristocratic lady walked up to Vivian and asked curiously, "Vivian, weren't you from The School of Sword Arts in the past? This Fang Xingjian? "
"Fang Xingjian?" Vivian turned her head abruptly, looked at the lady and asked, "He said that the person in first place is Fang Xingjian? The School of Sword Arts' Fang Xingjian? "
The lady was stunned for a moment before saying, "That's right. Do you know him?"
"How is that possible?" Vivian was dumbfounded. "How could it be possible that Fang Xingjian is the Prefectural Champion?"
On the stage, Kaunitz let out a cold snort. Ignoring the congratulations from the crowd, he dashed out of the guest hall and headed in the direction of The School of Sword Arts.
