Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before 6:00 a.m. the following morning, people crowded the gates of the top 120 institutes. It was the day the institutes would announce their accepted students’ names.

The institutes would send the names to the local education bureau that afternoon. After compiling the names, the education bureau would report them to the Ministry of Education. After the ministry compiled the names and entered them into the system, the students could find them online.

Therefore, the fastest way to determine if the top 120 institutes had accepted the students was to look at the names that morning. Of course, Kyoto received the most attention among the 120 institutes.

More than an hour remained before the announcement, yet people had already crowded the entrance to the institutes.

The crowd consisted of students, teachers, parents, and spies from various institutes. Many citizens also watched the show alongside friends from the news media all over the country.

“I heard this year’s college entrance exams made many examinees cry, but they also produced many outstanding students.”

“Yeah, this year’s exams were the most difficult in history, yet some scored full marks.”

“Right, I also heard that a student named Noel from Kyoto’s Number Four High had ranked first in the country.”

“Wow.”

“Did you guys hear? Kyoto Institute’s Dean of Administrations traveled thousands of miles just to offer a scholarship to a knight from White Deer High.”

“I heard about that, but I feel like it’s a publicity stunt. Kyoto is number one, so why would they go to an unknown high school just to recruit a knight?”

…

Time would always quickly pass whenever one chatted to their heart’s content. In a blink, it was already time for the top 120 institutes to announce the name list.

“Look, the name list is out!” Someone in the crowd shouted as the others immediately quieted down. Everyone fixed their eyes on the big screen.

The screen initially showed this year’s outstanding graduates from Kyoto Institute. Then it flashed and revealed 108 sets of names, classes, and high schools the students attended.

Click, click, click.

As soon as the name list appeared, many took pictures with their cameras and phones. At that moment, the scene was even more spectacular than the press conference when the mayor took office, simultaneously stirring waves of heated discussions.

“The fifth person in the front row named Moss is the most attention-grabbing student.”

“Holy sh*t, am I seeing things? There are knights on this list?!”

“I can’t blame you for being ignorant. Indeed, knights haven’t appeared on Kyoto’s list for many years.”

“It’s like I’m looking at a giant panda in a zoo. That’s a rare class in Kyoto. I’m afraid he’s the only one in the entire institute.”

“Kyoto couldn’t have made a mistake, right? What era is this? How could a knight make it on their list?!”

“I think it’s a mistake too. Kyoto based its list on the national rankings of the admitted candidates. Even if a knight attends Kyoto, he can’t be ranked fifth.”

“That makes sense, but how could Kyoto make such a silly mistake? Especially since they’ve always been strict with their choices.”

“Indeed, Kyoto never makes mistakes. Moss is the top scorer in S Country’s college entrance exams, and he’s ranked tenth in the country,” a man wearing a black top hat and black sunglasses said indifferently.

His face was expressionless. His name was Hayward, and he was a senior editor for the Kyoto television station. Simultaneously, he was a fan of studying the knight class.

His words were like a bomb, instantly causing an explosion among those discussing animatedly.

“Young man, you have the freedom of speech, but you can’t spew such nonsense.”

“Exactly. What decade do you think this is?”

“Although I hope what you said is true, knights have been on a decline.”

…

Hayward was accustomed to people’s doubts. He removed his reporter’s ID from his pocket and showed it to the people around him. “This is my ID. My job guarantees that everything I say is true.”

He looked at the people’s doubtful expressions, smiled bitterly, and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can look at S Country’s report on their top scorer.”

Afterward, he removed a professional-grade microphone with a logo from his bag and handed it to the female teacher beside him. The female teacher was wearing Kyoto’s Number Four High uniform.

Hayward asked with his magnetic voice, “Miss, what do you think of Kyoto Institute’s name list?”

The cameraman nearby noticed this and hurriedly ran over to set up his camera. Initially, the female teacher was stunned, but then she saw the logo on the microphone, Hayward’s badge, and the cameraman behind her.

A brilliant smile appeared as she responded, “As Kyoto’s Number Four High teacher, I am proud that Kyoto Institute has recruited this many outstanding talents. At the same time, I am honored that our school’s Noel and other students have made it to Kyoto Institute’s list.

“It also means that a large group of outstanding experts will walk into society and make even more significant contributions to society in four years.”

She knew how influential Kyoto’s television station was throughout Kyoto and was honored that a reporter from Kyoto’s television station was interviewing her. Her answer was excellent, indicating her identity and pride in being a Kyoto citizen.

At the same time, she praised her school’s excellent results in this year’s college entrance exams.

Hayward nodded and asked smilingly, “From the students on Kyoto Institute’s list, which class do you think will be more popular next year?”

After some thought, the female teacher excitedly replied, “Combat and magic classes are still popular. As for specific classes, darkness and magic should be the best. Some future full-time classes will also receive more people’s attention.”

A look of admiration appeared in Hayward’s eyes as he asked, “Last question, what’s your take on Kyoto Institute recruiting a knight?”

Knight research enthusiasts like Hayward would always ask about knights.

“Hmm…” It was apparent that the female teacher took longer to think about her answer this time. She brushed the right side of her hair and tucked it behind her ear.

She slowly said, “I think knight is a great class. Although they have declined over the years, it would greatly benefit society if someone can bring about a second rise.”

“Thank you, miss.” Hayward’s heart surged after the short interview, especially when he heard the female teacher talking about the second rise of knights being a significant contribution to society. Then he fixed his gaze on Moss’s name on the list.
