You think you're worthy of saving the world?

In other words, pulling the sword out of the stone by 31 centimeters means that Euryphus has already reached the third rank.

This is impossible!

Eileen simply couldn't understand how an ordinary boy could advance from the lowest rank to the third rank in just six months.

The sword in the stone could not possibly be wrong, but the other party was, after all, the child of prophecy…

Eileen called out to Euryphus, who was about to leave.

"Teacher Eileen?"

"Excuse me, could you please try calling again?"

Yuri gave her a strange look.

He figured that to dominate the academy in the future, he would need the approval of every head teacher, so he might as well be reassigned—

This time, Yuri switched to his left hand.

Seconds later, a new number was generated—

It remains at 31 centimeters.

The male students looked on with admiration, while the female students blushed.

Looking at the astonishing numbers on the measuring tape, Eileen's shoulders trembled violently.

115 Euryphus, is he my master?

Euryphus Falción has quietly advanced to the third rank!

Eileen was so shocked by the news that she was speechless.

How did he advance from the lowest rank to the highest rank in just six months?

Or has he been hiding his true strength all this time?

In either case, Euryphus sent a chill down Eileen's spine.

Yesterday afternoon, Annabelle had boasted to herself that she would give Euryphus a good thrashing, but it turns out he's already at the third rank!

What should I do? Should I tell her about this beforehand?

During the latter half of the outdoor class, Eileen was distracted by the outcome of Euryph's Holy Sword challenge.

"Eulifesto, please wait a moment."

When get out of class ended, Yuri was about to go to the cafeteria with Safia when Eileen stopped him.

"Eulifusa got a private tutoring session with Teacher Irene!" "How enviable!" "No wonder he's the prophetic child with 31cm!"

The male students were making a fuss, but were angrily chased away by the pink-haired female teacher.

“Let’s talk as we walk, Euryphus.”

"OK, all right."

The two walked through the long corridor outside the Holy Sword Garden and headed towards the new campus.

"Is there something you need from Ms. Eileen?"

Eileen composed herself and then gave a gentle smile: "Ulysses... so you've already advanced to the third rank."

Yuri feigned surprise, then smiled and said, "Yes, so, that sword in the stone..."

As he expected, the teachers at the school all knew the truth about the holy sword.

Eileen praised, "You really did discover it."

The sword in the stone in the Garden of Sacred Swords is actually a relic used to measure rank.

Of all the students who visited today, you were the only one who noticed that. That's truly remarkable.

"Because I'm the only third-order rank, that's why I was able to discover this secret, but it doesn't mean I have keen observation skills."

Eileen shook her head and complimented, "Hehe... Even so, it's still remarkable."

After all, this shows that your abilities have surpassed the vast majority of students in the academy.

St. Cromwell Theological Seminary was, after all, just a noble officer's academy.

Although the noble students here admire chivalry, they do not regard cultivating personal martial arts skills as their primary goal.

A person's energy and time are limited.

If a noble lord is busy practicing martial arts or magic, he will naturally have no time to attend to domestic affairs and will only be a mediocre lord.

In this world's value system, the mission of minor nobles is to govern and develop their territories and cultivate outstanding heirs, rather than to pursue personal military power.

Of course, the most important reason supporting them in doing so is—

On the surface of the earth, there exists an absolute authority called the "Papal Palace" and an absolute power called the "Saintess," which constitute the absolute order that has maintained the stability of human society for more than 10,000 years.

Small countries can simply hand over their defense to the world's hegemon, then focus on developing their economies and enjoying their benefits...

Such ideas seem to be quite common even in Yuri's previous world.

Therefore, there are very few students at the seminary who are at the third level or above, and they are mostly upperclassmen. Otherwise, Yuri wouldn't have been able to get first place so easily today.

"In this way... no one can question your student status anymore."

Eileen said with a smile, "Let me congratulate you in advance on your official enrollment, Euryphus."

“Thank you, Ms. Eileen,” Yuri replied, bowing her head.

He suddenly felt that the female teacher's smile was a little stiff... Was it just his imagination?

After a moment of silence, Eileen suddenly spoke.

"Oh, right! Let's celebrate Euryphus's enrollment by having lunch with you today!"

……

……

……

Despite Yuri's repeated refusals, he couldn't refuse her kind invitation and finally followed Eileen to the cafeteria.

"Look, it's Euryph! Have you heard the rumor?" "Ah, yes, I have! The Child of Prophecy may look cute, but he actually has a giant beast inside him."

The events that occurred in the Garden of the Holy Sword seem to have begun to spread.

Eileen's "suggestion technique" could only prevent students from delving into the true effects of the sword in the stone; it did not prevent the spread of the matter itself.

After all, the school's goal was to make the Holy Sword Challenge a legendary tale of the seminary.

Ignoring the hushed discussions around them, Yuri and Ms. Eileen ordered their food in the cafeteria.

They found a quiet corner and sat down facing each other, eating the lunch they had bought.

"Is it okay for a boy who is still growing to eat only this much for lunch?"

"Yes, I tend to eat a lot for dinner."

Yuri ordered fried fish fillets and hash browns, while Teacher Eileen ordered macaroni.

"So, what does the teacher want to talk to me about?"

Eileen blinked, and Yuri explained, "You've been fidgeting since earlier, so you must have something to say to me, right?"

"!"

Eileen was taken aback.

She wasn't as restless as Euryphus had described; in fact, she felt she had hidden herself quite well.

But Eileen's positive self-esteem was useless; Yuri could still tell at a glance that she had something on her mind.

"You're really perceptive, Euryphus."

Eileen hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to tell the truth: "I heard from Anna about the bet between you and her."

If you are able to advance to the third rank, Anna will have to wear a maid's outfit and serve you as your servant for a week.

"That's true."

This was supposed to be a secret bet, but given the close relationship between Eileen and Annabelle, it's quite normal that she would find out.

“Teacher, the bet wasn’t proposed by me, but by Teacher Anna,” Yuri said.

"Yes, I know, I know very well...that's just her personality..."

Eileen lowered her head and said earnestly, "I'm sorry, Euryphus."

Why did Ms. Eileen apologize?

The pink-haired female teacher shook her head: "Please allow me to apologize to you on Anna's behalf. She didn't mean any harm."

Anna is a very proud and somewhat clumsy girl... who doesn't know how to express herself.

If she knew that Euryphus had advanced to the third rank, even if she didn't show it, she would probably be happy, so..."

Eileen looked up and asked in a pleading tone, "Can you just let go of your bet with Anna? Pretend it never happened?"

She knew Yuri was about to go to Principal Joseph's, and if she waited any longer, it would be too late.

Before Euryphus became a special admissions student, he begged him to forgive Anna!

"..."

Yuri put down her knife and fork, her face showing displeasure. "Teacher Eileen, isn't this request a bit too much to ask?"

Eileen looked apologetic: "I know my request was very rude."

Euryphus, I hope you can understand Anna's feelings. She has a very strong sense of pride, she..."

"I'm sorry, but I cannot accept this."

Yuri decisively rejected her request: "A bet is a bet."

If Ms. Anna has any objections to this bet, she is perfectly free to refuse to honor it.

After all, I'm just a student. I was prepared for Ms. Anna to deny it, but it's absolutely impossible for me to pretend it never happened.

That's what they say, but Yuri knew very well that Annabelle would never renege on the bet, given her personality.

Yuri's answer was firm, leaving Eileen no room for speculation, hoping she would give up on the idea completely.
