"Snap!"
The sound of footsteps rang out unbelievably clearly, entering everyone's ears.
"— —"
At that moment, the entire arena, which was extremely noisy, became silent, and even the sound of breathing seemed to have stopped.
Everyone turned their attention to one of the passageways that led to the entrance.
There, a youth dressed in a luxurious and noble pitch-black haori appeared with three incredibly beautiful automatons.
Looking at that boy, whether it was students, professors, guards, or guests from other schools, they all held their breath.
"Is that Winter of Fimble?"
"The oldest magus in modern times …"
"The son of Akabane Clan in the far east?"
"That's him …"
The audience's expression and eyes became solemn unconsciously.
Nowadays, many people have conducted a very in-depth investigation on Rozen and knew a lot of information about Rozen.
No, it was not so much because of the investigation that they got a lot of information, but because of the integration of all the information about Rozen.
For example, the power that Rozen relied on to defeat the strongest magus in the 19th century was an ancient magic before the emergence of mechanical magic. It didn't abandon the cumbersome chant and the traditional magic circle. It was even more ancient than Yin-Yang Technique and Elven Technique, which were still passed down today. Therefore, without the assistance of automatons, magic equipment, and magic stones, he could use a variety of spells.
And the legion that appeared in the city two months ago was a Shikigami summoned by Yin-Yang Technique.
Many people knew that Yin-Yang Technique in the far east was a kind of inheritance that focused on Shikigami and divination. Yin-Yang masters who learned Yin-Yang Technique did not need the power of automatons to condense Shikigami and easily manipulate multiple magical creatures to fight. And the more excellent the Shikigami was, the higher the number and quality of the Shikigami.
For example, Hinata, who was ranked eighth among the Thirteen, could summon a group of Shikigami with a talisman as a medium and commanded an entire army of Shikigami to fight. Many people in the academy learned that Lian Maru and Rozen had shown the power of summoning Shikigami more than once, and Rozen was familiar with them, plus he used Yin-Yang Technique to deal with the dean, so people thought that Rozen mastered Yin-Yang Technique, which was more ancient than the Izanagi clan.
Thanks to that, many people gradually found out about Rozen's identity.
For example, the fact that he was the adopted son of the Akabane Clan in the far east and was once known as a prodigy has been spread among the upper class.
And the fact that the Akabane Clan used to be a Yin-Yang Master family confirmed that Rozen was a Yin-Yang Master, but his skill was extremely superb. He could even defeat the strongest magus in the 19th century, and he could summon hundreds of thousands of Shikigami, which made him famous.
In summary, Rozen was gradually called by many people as the oldest magus in modern times, which meant that he mastered the most ancient mystery.
"He's really the same as the information mentioned, an unquestionable" prodigy "."
"The Akabane Clan in the far east is really lucky to have adopted such a genius."
"Unfortunately, luck makes people jealous, and Akabane Clan has been destroyed."
"There's such a great talent in the far east, but they let him go and let him come to this place, where he's coveted by so many countries. I really don't know what they're thinking."
"Don't say it. The high-level officials of the island country are now depressed every day. It is said that they didn't know that the child prodigy of the Akabane family was such a great person. As a result, they let him go. They regretted it so much that their intestines were green.
"In other words, he's actually just a member of the Sakura Country, right?"
"Definitely not. He's not even a Japanese. His nationality and bloodline are unknown. Otherwise, there won't be so many people trying to win him over."
"It's probably because of this that the Easternmost side didn't try to rope him in before. I guess it's been a complete mess in these two months."
"That's good, we'll have a chance."
"Don't get your hopes up. I heard that Winter of Fimble isn't interested in the olive branch extended by the world's powers, and he didn't reconcile with the School of Mechanical Engineering. Instead, he has some connections with the Magus Association. Although he didn't join the Japanese military, he's very close to Karyuusai, the number one in the field of robot puppets. Look at the three puppets around him. That's Karyuusai's masterpiece, Tsuki Tsuki."
"Even automatons of that level are given away? It seems that the Easternmost Clan wants to win over Winter of Fimbol, right? "
"But it seems that he still hasn't announced to join the Japanese military."
"Interesting."
Many of the people present came for Rozen, and now that they saw Rozen's appearance, they were naturally excited.
And those people's little tricks naturally couldn't be hidden from the decision makers of the academy.
"Sure enough, the appearance of Ania has completely ignited the atmosphere."
In the most central position of the special seats, a middle-aged man with a strong physique and a secretary wearing a military saber beside him said with a chuckle.
He was the dean of the Walpurgis Royal College of Mechanics, the strongest magician of the 19th century — Edward Rutherford.
"It seems that you're in a good mood. He took away your position as the strongest."
The one who said this with a mocking voice was a white-haired, skinny old man.
He was the professor representative of the Walpurgis Royal Academy, the head of the medical department, and the most powerful and intimate person around the dean, Percival.
The two also attended the night party and became the audience, seeing Rozen's entrance.
The dean stared at Rozen and suddenly smiled.
"Even if I lose the position of the strongest, it doesn't matter to me. I'm happy to be able to use this to lure out a hidden powerful figure in the academy."
That seemed to be the dean's opinion.
"But for the children who participated in the night party with Winter of Fimble, it's not something to be happy about."
Percival said meaningfully as he swept his gaze across the surroundings.
Taking a closer look, there were students with high status in the surroundings.
There were girls who were as beautiful as elves and noble ladies.
There were students from India who exuded an atmosphere that couldn't be ignored.
There were people who looked like brothers.
There were people who looked like junior high school students, or even primary school students.
They were all geniuses who were ranked in the Thirteen.
There were even six masked men with female dolls.
Who else could it be other than Magnus?
These people either appeared in the special seats or hid in various corners, silently watching Rozen in the field.
"All kinds of people have gathered here."
The dean squinted his eyes at the situation, and his voice was full of deep meaning that others couldn't perceive.
