Chapter 7: The Prince in the Small Town

  The young man, however, showed no intention of hiding anything, coughed twice and put on a prince-like demeanor.

  "I am Seron, the eleventh prince of the Kingdom of Brian, Xialai Rely. It's an honor to meet Your Highness, why aren't you kneeling?"

  Ceylon, who had been waiting for a while, was slightly surprised. The scene he had imagined, where Hoshi and Namida were terrified, did not appear.

  But it was Xing You and Lian Zi who exchanged a glance, their eyes as if they had seen a superstar on TV, utterly shocked.

  Seira and Rui ignored Seron's "dignity" as a prince and directly surrounded him.

  In front of Seron's astonished expression, Dong looked left and right, and the two people actually commented recklessly in front of the prince.

  "Blonde hair and blue eyes, proud and handsome, with a retinue of fearful attendants. Tear, you might really be the prince!"

  "All I need is a white horse, a sword, a suit of armor and some attendants. That would be perfect! Who would have thought that I'd actually meet a real prince?"

  Seiya and Reiko were suddenly too excited, Your Highness! In their time, it was only possible to exist in books.

  Never thought that after coming to a different world, I would actually be able to see a real prince.

  As the old steward of the Wang family, he was furious at the two people in front of him who did not know how to behave.

  "How dare you, are you looking for death in front of the prince?"

  Cailon was at a loss for words, and the prince's "dignity" collapsed instantly. He had also never met such a "commoner".

  A little angry, but more curious: "Are you not afraid of His Highness, ordering to behead these two bold guys?"

  Xingyou and Lianzi looked at Xiaoming's slightly frightened appearance, only to realize that he was a prince, while they were commoners.

  A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, extremely embarrassing.

  "Excuse me, then may I ask Prince Celoron, why would you appear in a small town like Nasta?"

  Cailon didn't have the habit of killing people to vent his emotions, although Lui and Xingyou were a bit rude. But that frank attitude did bring everyone closer together, reducing the awkwardness and distance of their first meeting.

  "What's the point of showing up here at this time? It must be for the entrance exam of Berrios Academy."

  Xing You, who was drinking tea, almost spat out a mouthful of water.

  "Are you kidding me? The prince is actually going to take the entrance exam with us? Can't you just make a phone call to the higher-ups at Berrios Academy and get in?"

  Cerlon's face was filled with helplessness: "It's precisely because he is a prince that he must take the entrance exam. The other family members are fine, but the prince represents the future of the kingdom. If even the prince can't set an example by relying on his own abilities to get in, then how can the royal family convince others?"

  And Cailon remembered that Xingyou had just said the word "also".

  "Are you three also planning to take the entrance exam for Berrios Academy?"

  "That's a given, my brother is a rare profession summoner, and I'm a wind system formal magician."

  "Luosi sister, but isn't she the super strong demon summoned by my brother?"

  As soon as the three words "summoner" appeared, the old man looked at Xingyou and Lianzi with an extremely serious gaze.

  "Why are summoners called a rare profession? It's because they possess special talents, are born with the ability to make contact with the demon world, and can sign contracts with demons, allowing them to descend."

  "The Summoner doesn't just represent rarity, but also strength! Because the number and power of the summoned creatures can grow together with the Summoner. To duel a Summoner is to engage in a one-against-many battle!"

  "Although there are many summoners in the kingdom of Brionac, those who can summon humanoid demons are rare. Even throughout the history of summoning, there has only been one, the first summoner from a thousand years ago, Hornheim! The man who opened up the most glorious era in summoning history."

  Perhaps in everyone's eyes, the old man was just standing respectfully behind Prince Selon, but no one knew.

  As Lü Bu approached, Lao Zi had already quietly made complete preparations for battle.

  Just as Tiers can sense the power of Elders, Elders can also sense the power of Tiers.

  His sixth sense even reminded the old man that this young girl who looked no more than twenty years old was stronger than himself!

  These three people, what kind of gods are they!

  As a prince, being sensitive to the atmosphere is a basic skill. Selon could clearly feel the change in his butler's attitude.

  His butler was none other than Blaise Zabini, one of the wizards of the royal family, who surprisingly had every nerve stretched taut.

  So Cailon would lower his posture because he was extremely interested in Xingyou, Leizi and Xiaoxiao.

  "So based on your abilities, this year's exam may not be stressful for you."

  As soon as the exam was mentioned, Xing You's whole body stiffened up at once.

  He discovered a very important issue. As an examinee of Beiros College, he didn't even know the form of Beiros' entrance examination and what to take.

  "Excuse me, Seron, I'd like to ask something. What was the entrance exam for Beiros this year like?"

  Cerlon and Old Man Laplace exchanged a look of incredulity: "As an examinee, you actually don't know what to take the exam for?"

  Xing You touched the back of his head, extremely embarrassed. This expression showed that Xing You really didn't know what to take the exam for.

  "Alright, you win. The entrance exams for different professions will definitely have subtle differences. However, there is one exam that cannot be changed for all professions, which is the written test on magical basics."

  "If it's a Wind-type formal magician, then they must test their skills, magical strength and actual combat. As for Summoners, it's more complicated because the most important thing for Summoners is to control magic, what standard is like that, I also can't be sure."

  As soon as the two words "written test" appeared, Xing You's face turned pale, what's going on?

  Why can't I escape the hell of exams even if I cross into another world?

  Because he doesn't know any magic knowledge, if it's a written test, then it's even more miserable than taking the exam naked, definitely fail!

  Cailon looked at Xing You who had everything written all over his face: "I think you should have no problem getting into Berros Academy."

  Xing You was slightly surprised: "Even if I scored zero on the written test, I still have a chance of entering Bellrose Academy?"

  Cailon pointed at Lixiao who was sitting next to Xingyou and eating quietly, Lixiao looked a bit puzzled.

  "Even if you don't have any combat power at all, as long as you have Miss Tear, this overwhelmingly powerful familiar, it's enough for the higher-ups of Belleros Academy to break the rules for her."

  But Xing You didn't show any joy, her slightly lowered head covering up the faintly gloomy expression.

  Actually, Xingyou understood everything. It was Leizi who defeated and subdued the Blood Lion Mercenary Group; it was Leizi who protected Xiao Mu and herself along the way. Was she still going to have to rely on Leizi even when entering Berros Academy?

  Although it's natural for a summoner to rely on their summoned creatures, Sei Yū couldn't help but feel an intense dislike for this feeling.

  It's not one's own strength, but rather living under the protection of tears.

  As a summoner himself, he unexpectedly had such a powerful familiar as Tear, his only weakness.

  Xing You suddenly lifted her head, and her eyes, which had been wavering all along, gradually became determined.

  Even if I can only rely on Tear to enter Bellrose Academy, so be it!

  I still have time, I still have the Tianxuan Summoning System, and I will definitely become stronger, becoming as powerful as Lian'er!

  Become an existence that has the qualifications to fight alongside each of the powerful messengers.

  "Your Excellency Cailon, I feel greatly honored to have had the opportunity to converse with you today. However, it's getting late and we three will take our leave first."

  Cailon looked at Xingyou who suddenly became polite and felt a bit unaccustomed.

  "Don't mind those extra formalities, who knows if I'll be lucky enough to travel with the three of you tomorrow morning?"

  The prince actually wanted to go together, and Xiao Mu was extremely excited, shaking Xing You's small hand.

  "Brother, let's go together, it's lively with more people!"

  Being able to travel with Prince who is familiar with the situation of Beiros Academy will save a lot of detours and make things much more convenient.

  Xing You stretched out his right hand: "Take care!"

  Cailon also stretched out his right hand, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.

  "Me too!"

  As the butler, Lapis remained tense until Tear left the surveillance area, his nerves slowly relaxing afterwards.

  Looking at the prince who was drinking alone under the moonlight: "I didn't expect you, young master, to be traveling with them. Don't you have a mission to complete?"

  In Xie Long's hand, the tea cup was shaking slightly, and the tea water was rippling in the faint light of the silver moon, just like his restless heart.

  "Is there a task at hand? This is just an excuse for that gradually aging king to exile me."

  "That old king, yet he built a legendary father. He knew that even if he exiled me to the distant Berros, it would not shake the foundation I had laid in this kingdom, so he just wanted to buy time and cut off my connection with the imperial capital."

  Lapse's eyes widened in dismay as he glanced around cautiously. His young master had actually uttered such words in the midst of a crowded gathering.

  But Cailon didn't care, gazing at the endless starry sky, continuing to mutter to himself.

  "Every time I gaze up at the starry sky, I am aware of my own insignificance!"

  "So I really want to know, where is the end of this starry sky? Why are those stars twinkling?"

  "A mere kingdom of Briony, giving it to Second Brother is nothing! What I want is everything under this starry sky!"

  Laplace knew what Ceron wanted a long time ago, and he thought it was just a childish fantasy.

  But this wild fantasy and extravagant hope that made his whole body tremble with excitement was slowly coming true.

  Perhaps he himself would not live to see this day, but La Papes believed that the man before him could do it!

  A faint smile appeared at the corner of Selon's mouth, and an irrepressible thought suddenly emerged in his heart.

  Not a tear child, but Xingyou! That man who firmly pursues power may become one of the keys to opening up a new era!
