In the lounge of Tresia Knight Academy, someone walked over to Kaunitz. It was the person who had made a bet with Hogan that Fang Xingjian would not be able to get into the top five, Dick.

Instructor Dick looked at Kaunitz as he smiled and said, “I heard that you had performed extremely well in the Prefectural Selection held this time around and that you were the top amongst the younger generation. Seems like in the future, you’ll be one of Kirst’s leading figures.”

“You are too kind.” Kaunitz said humbly, “Fei Yang Academy’s Barbara, Shadow Moon Academy’s Boris and Aristocrat Academy’s Ferdinand are also very strong…”

“But you are the best amongst them, is that not true?” Dick patted Kaunitz on the shoulders and said, “I think very highly of you. You’ll definitely be the one to lead our Kirst’s Knights to bring about brilliant results in the Regional Selection a few years down the road.”

Kaunitz lowered his head, bowed slightly and said, “Thank you for your compliment.”

“No need to be so rigid. After you enroll in the academy, I will be your teacher and in the future, we will all be comrades.” Dick said, “I have another purpose for my visit this time around. There are some societies in the academy and I represent Kirst Condor Society to invite you to join us.”

Kaunitz’s gaze sharpened. Kirst Condor Society could be said to be a community that all aristocrats enrolled in Kirst Royal Knight Academy must join.

This was a community where aristocratic Knights built alliances and supported each other.

Hearing Dick’s request, Kaunitz felt a little excited as well.

‘Is it really because of my excellent results that the people from the society came to approach me directly and do not require me to approach them myself like the others have to?’

Kaunitz nodded, reached out his hand and said, “I can’t wait.”

Dick smiled and grasped Kaunitz’s hand, “Welcome.”

At that moment, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

“It’s here, it’s here.”

“It’s the person sending the results slip.”

Dick took a look in the distance before smiling and patting Kaunitz on the shoulders as he said, “Go on, this moment belongs to you.”

Kaunitz nodded his head and a slight flush of excitement flashed across his face. He looked to the Vivian who was beside him and said, “Wait for me here, I’ll be back in a while.”

At the entrance, a member of staff from Kirst Royal Knight Academy held onto a stack of documents and handed it over to the principal of Tresia Knight Academy.

The headmaster of Tresia Knight Academy was an old man with white and sparse hair. He wore a black tuxedo and had a charm like only those ancient aristocrats had. His elegant appearance made him seem like a gentleman rather than a Warrior.

And he was also the current head of Tresia Clan, Kaunitz’s father.

Receiving the results slip sent by the academy, the old man smiled as he looked towards Kaunitz and said, “Our Tresia Clan will finally have another Knight from this year’s Prefectural Selection. This brings honor to our clan and also serves to show the prosperity of the Empire and to our military strength. Here, let us make a toast to the longevity of the Empire.”

Saying that, he raised the wine glass in his hand. The rest of the people followed.

“Long live the Empire!”

“Long live!”

After finishing the toast, the head of Tresia Clan said to Kaunitz, “Kaunitz, my youngest son, come take a look at this results slip. This is what you deserve after the more than ten years of tough training you have gone through.”

Kaunitz was long since ready to walk up. This setting was intended to boost his reputation in the clan from the start and was specially arranged so that Kirst’s aristocrats would become familiar with him.

Kaunitz smiled and received the document, slowly opening and throwing a glance at it.

Amongst the crowd, Vivian looked happily at Kaunitz, who was on the stage. She looked around at the aristocrats surrounding them, looked at their luxurious clothings, extravagant food, lavish decorations and the numerous maids and servants around, she started to feel very excited.
