T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 640, 639.6th rank = 8th rank

Due to time constraints, Renee's understanding of the group residing at the Jailer's Manor could not be comprehensive.

But at least it proves one thing—they really do a good job with mint.

It was so wonderful that she, who had never really experienced the warmth of home growing up, felt envious.

This group of "weirdos" from all over the world, even different continents, unanimously held Mint in their hands and willingly accompanied her, playing what outsiders would consider a very strange and childish role-playing game between mother and child.

They were completely absorbed and enjoying themselves, as if this was the most natural and normal way for them to get along.

Upon returning to the Star Speakers Academy, Renee went straight to Jiang Heyi, who was clearly the core of the team.

"Now, can you tell me your purpose?"

Jiang Heyi seemed to have anticipated her question and answered it crisply and decisively.

"After returning to the Star Speakers Academy, I hope you can create momentum for Rainbow Rain when the time is right."

"To create hype?" Renee's eyes narrowed slightly.

“You are one of the most prestigious and influential representatives among the younger generation of magicians.” Jiang Heyi calmly explained his plan. “If you publicly express your approval at the right time, or simply inadvertently reveal your appreciation and understanding of Rainbow Rain, it will greatly help them quickly establish their reputation among the elite of Anna Central.”

He paused, then added, "It should be natural; ideally, you should offer your comments spontaneously while others are discussing it."

The dragon Eleravia, three of which are at level 8, and there is also a special individual like the Slime King.

Rainbow Rain can certainly make its grand appearance in the capital.

What was the point of all this trouble?
"Can I ask why?" Renee asked, her curiosity piqued. "With the power you wield, you don't need such a cumbersome and awkward method to make a name for yourself."

"I cannot tell you the reason at this time."

Renee paused for a moment, her gaze involuntarily drifting to Mint, who was sharing a bucket of fries with the fries not far away.

Mint knew nothing about all of this, but she chose to trust these people without reservation.

She nodded and accepted the commission.

She doesn't mind playing the fool once and trusting her intuition.

“Rainbow Rain might be heading to the capital soon. When that happens, you can improvise and help expand their influence further,” Jiang Heyi said with a smile. “They are all highly skilled actors and can handle any role you throw at them.”

Upon hearing this, Renee suddenly felt a strange sensation.

It's a feeling of novelty and excitement about participating in a grand scheme.

Just imagining the grand spectacle she would be staging with this group of mysterious figures, and how it would stir up waves in the empire, even drawing the attention of her own family, made her impatient.

It seems that everyone has a desire to perform hidden in their subconscious, but some people just haven't been able to find the right stage and script for themselves.

"Is there anything else I need to remind you of?" Renee asked proactively, her mindset shifting from passive acceptance to active participation.

"I know you want to have a good spar with Mint. After this is over, I will give you her at her best, and your wish will be fulfilled."

Renee's pupils contracted slightly: "You seem to know everything... almost like a prophet who can see the future."

"You're not the first person to say that about me."

Where are the other people who have commented on you?

Jiang Heyi said confidently, "Isn't it right here in this manor?"

Renee said goodbye to Mint, and Jiang Heyi watched from afar.

She had been quietly sitting beside him, chewing on her "original" fries like a little hamster, before finally speaking softly.

"Regarding 'Dussel'...shouldn't we give her some hints beforehand? Even just a few words?"

Jiang Heyi shook his head: "Dussel's mental magic is clumsy, but it's effective. I won't gamble on it."

Renee returned to the Star Speakers Academy unnoticed, attending classes and studying potions as usual.

Discussions about rainbow rain have been rampant within the college.

The Empire has not seen an independent adventure group with an 8th-tier powerhouse at its helm for many years.

In general social perception, most capable adventurers, after advancing to the 6th or 7th rank, will choose to go to the ruling center of the empire to seek recognition from the mage tower or to attach themselves to a high-ranking noble in order to advance further.

In the game Proof of the Stars, this process is called "The Pilgrimage of the Seekers".

The Stars Bonfire event also organized pilgrimage adventure groups and competitive PK activities, which were very entertaining.

Wild mages have their limits; only in a more favorable environment can they truly demonstrate their value.

In this social atmosphere, Rainbow Rain's actions of remaining true to her original aspirations even after being promoted to a higher position are a fascinating and entertaining story.

When Renee returned to the single dormitory area, she happened to overhear several female students from prominent aristocratic families chatting idly in the common room, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

Their conversation gradually shifted to the rising star, Rainbow Rain. Their words mostly expressed their bewilderment at her unconventional style and her willingness to work without expecting anything in return, their tone tinged with the disdain and arrogance typical of the nobility.

"If you ask me, that so-called 8th rank might not be as good as us in actual combat."

"Exactly! Without high-level magical knowledge to support it, having magical power but no magic power is just as laughable as a child waving an unsharpened knife around in the street."

"No, no, no, whether it has any magic is also questionable. I've heard my teacher say that there are abnormal ways to achieve rank advancement. Who knows if they used similar methods?"

"Those country bumpkin adventurers in the south of the empire have never seen the methods of a real great mage. A few decent tricks might dazzle them and make them mistake him for an 8th-tier powerhouse."

"Ultimately, it's questionable whether they even have the ability to judge rank and strength."

"If you ask me, a wild mage's level 8 is probably only equivalent to our level 6 academic mage."

"Then why don't you go and try out the rainbow rain yourself, and verify the theory?"

The sudden interruption of the conversation startled the group.

"Rennie..."

Upon recognizing the newcomers, the group toned down their tone but did not rise.

They certainly have the confidence to back it up; they are either direct descendants of great noble families or descendants of renowned magical clans.

"It sounds like you approve of this rainbow rain?" Someone smiled, their tone slightly teasing. "Those newbies who started as wild mages in the academy praise them highly. I didn't expect you to share their opinion."

"I'm just respecting hard work and skill," Renee said calmly. "After all, my understanding doesn't allow me to say things like 6th rank is equal to 8th rank."

Renee knew perfectly well that among the truly elite noble circles of the Anna Empire, those key figures who held power and possessed sufficient judgment would never easily mock Rainbow Rain.

At this moment, all they can think about is finding ways to get in touch and build a closer relationship.

Only those fools who have enjoyed the best educational resources since childhood, who have followed the path carefully paved by their parents, and whose cognitive poverty is often laughable, would feel offended by the rise of an adventure group from a distant frontier, and thus generate this kind of void-induced resistance.

Renee can accurately read the sensitive and vulnerable psychology of these people.

If any amateur adventure team could reach such heights, how would these privileged young women, nurtured with massive amounts of top-tier resources, conduct themselves?
Where will the sense of superiority be placed?
In the deeply ingrained beliefs of these pure-blooded aristocrats, the lower classes are considered to be lowly, stupid, and utterly worthless.

Even their existence is meant to await the pity and salvation of these nobles, which aligns with their consistent understanding and education.

Renee loathed associating with these so-called pure-blood nobles in the academy, who, without exception, exuded the same nauseating arrogance and extreme selfishness as her parents.

They consider themselves superior and look down on everything from a high place, but they have never truly understood what hard work or talent is.

They simply cannot comprehend the incredible amount of hard work and sweat that Mint has expended to achieve her current success.

In their simplistic and rigid mindset, they can only crudely divide people into two labels: "wild mage" and "pureblood mage," and use this as the sole criterion for judging all value.

Lineage and political stance have replaced talent and character, becoming their ridiculous yardstick for measuring the world.

99% of the people in the college are no match for even a single finger of Mint!

“You can’t teach us a lesson, after all, we’re not your followers.”

Upon hearing this, Renee did not offer any further comment.

Since Potato said to stop when she should, she stopped there.

However, she believed that these people would exaggerate and spread the word throughout the college.

Listening to the rustling sounds behind her, Renee felt more and more strongly that...

The jailer's manor is probably the most suitable residence for her, the place that can truly embrace her!
There, none of the things she hated were present.

The most important thing……

She was so envious of Mint for being cared for by so many people!

Can you get it by joining the Jailer's Manor?
It's not impossible to immediately abandon one's identity as a member of the Grelian family.

Unsurprisingly, the argument in the common room spread throughout the Star Speakers.

As a leading figure among Anna's younger generation, Renee's speech carried considerable weight.

Some of the weak and isolated wild mages in the academy have been given a boost.

That's how public opinion often works: the entry of a powerful figure can quickly sway those who were initially observing to take sides.

In no time, statements such as "Rene acknowledges the power of Rainbow Rain" spread to every corner of the royal capital.

While the poorly informed nobles were still wondering "who Rainbow Rain is," this eye-catching adventure group had already arrived in Fragrant Breeze City.

The nobles who received the news couldn't help but laugh.

"If you make money, do you go to spend it with Master Jailer right away? You must have a real appetite."
