Selena was holding Prince Erin's arm and smiling,
"Hello, Duke."
She wasn't even bowing to him, on the one hand, this act in front of the Duke was unforgivable, but except for the members of the immediate royal family,
"She speaks as if she is of equal standing to me!!"
Aemon thought, it was inconceivable that his son, a minor nobleman in terms of the hierarchy, would speak so friendlyly to the Duke, who was considered to be on a par with the Crown Prince, and even the Duke of Josburg was on a par with the kings of entire countries.
"Welcome, Minister's daughter."
Selena had red hair and green eyes, a pretty face, and a rather small nose and mouth, she was very pretty but she didn't have a soul, so to speak, it was clear that she admired the Prince, but it was a morbid admiration, not love.
Prince Erin was standing next to her.
The prince was blond, white-faced, and had very handsome features.
He looked like a knight from a fairy tale with blue eyes and a sharp jaw that stood out among those present.
If there was a comparison between everyone present and the prince and the duke, everyone would lose without exception except the heroine.
Before they could say anything, a notification came from the system.
Aemon felt that time had stopped.
[Warning, warning, ahead of you, the first event in the novel: "The Heroes' Meeting."
In the novel, the hero and heroine got closer for the first time at this time. In the original story, when the duke came and tried to appear as a friend to the prince and tried to get close to him, but the prince rejected him and made him the joke of the day.
"Note: The prince hates nobles, especially rich nobles, and he hates the weakest ones who have no self-respect :-[
" And they will see that these specifications apply to him.
The host must get out of this day without being insulted, and it is better to insult the prince ^_^].
He looked at him and Seron was smiling inside, changing the first event in the novel usually meant a big change in the story, that is, in stories that transitioned to novels, the change that happened would make the hero lose an important advantage, which is the advantage of knowing the events, but in our case, Seron did not know the events of the story at all, so changing it would not hurt him much on a personal level.
"Hello, Prince,"
Seron said.
The prince did not look at him, then looked at him and put on a face of contempt as he raised his upper lip and said,
"Hello, Duke Seron Vad Josburg, my name is Erin Anson Dirkson."
He was speaking in a loud voice and it was clear that he did not like him.
"This is very unfortunate, unfortunate,"
Seron said in a loud voice as well.
"What is unfortunate?"
The prince said,
"Is His Majesty deaf?!! Why is he shouting?"
People didn't understand what was going on, everyone was already looking at them, on the one hand, these two were the most important people in the academy and on the other hand, they were the two most handsome young men so their strange talk caught everyone's attention, the teachers hadn't arrived yet so everyone's attention was focused on Siron and Irene.
"Don't say strange things, I hear well and speak well, but I didn't want to talk to someone who doesn't know royal etiquette and noble manners and doesn't bow down to the prince."
Everyone whispered in front of this heated discussion, it was certain that tomorrow's newspapers would publish the news everywhere and would live on this news for a long time, Aesta was looking at the problem and feeling stupid from these actions
"How can someone be so stupid, is this really a prince who is a candidate for succession?!"
"Oh prince, do you know the royal etiquette and laws of this kingdom? Don't you know that the duke and the prince are of the same status, and there is even a law written at the beginning of the foundation that says,
'The lords of the Johnson family and the Yusburg family are of the status of a crowned prince, and no one from the royal family has the right to force them to bow except the emperor.' And do you know that you are not even a crowned prince, so how do you want me to bow, and I am the lord of the Yusburg family?"
The people whispered,
"That's right, it was said that the duke is a prince who has no right to claim the throne."
"Do you remember that the uncle of the current king has the title of duke?"
The prince felt angry at this matter, at first he despised this duke who spent most of his time playing around according to what he heard, he is one of the people who do not respect anyone but the competent and talented people, but now he has become a laughingstock in front of everyone,
"Prince, I heard that you like to learn swordsmanship and magic and that you are more talented in it than your brothers, so I was thinking of supporting you as a candidate for the throne, but I think that the Yusburg family will…"
"You lose a lot if someone who doesn't know the royal laws ascends the throne."
"Hehehe what."
"Did you hear?"
People whispered, this statement that Siron made was the most dangerous statement he had ever made in his life, it meant that he would not support Eren who was considered the strongest candidate.
"And I hope your fiancée learns to bow to the duke.
According to the laws, nobles who are lower than the duke are required to bow to anyone who has that title, even if the person only has the title of duke formally.
I don't think your fiancée has the title of duchess so she wouldn't bow to me."
Selina looked at Erin in shock.
She thought that Prince Erin was the strongest person of his generation.
The duke looked ten times more mature and powerful than him. She never thought that she would be humiliated in front of the prince in this way.
On the other hand, Erin was feeling angry.
"This foolish girl is always trying to look cool by sticking to me."
It was hypocritical of the prince to force the duke to bow and abide by the royal laws and forget about his fiancée who did the same.
"I apologize on behalf of my fiancée."
"Don't worry, prince."
Seron was standing in front of the prince and his fiancée while Aesta was a little far away from them.
Aesta was surprised by Siron's new personality.
In the original novel, when Aesta came to Siron and told him not to do anything to her at the academy, he got angry and tried to assault her, had it not been for the intervention of the knight who protects her.
Then he tried to keep her and forcefully lock her up in the palace.
So when the prince insulted her, she was happy, and she even started to admire the prince's personality, who hates cowardly nobles.
Then the story begins.
Now, the situation is very different from what it is in the novel
. [Congratulations, host, you have earned 1000 points. Maybe now you have changed something big in the novel, but this has opened up a strange future for you, so try to survive everything. Now choose a gift that suits you from the gifts:
1 - Stamina boost.

"Does it need thinking?
Mind boost five times."
"Swish."
Siron felt his mind become stronger and felt that the headache he had had disappeared
[You can now handle legendary level information but your body warning is weak compared to your consciousness so you might have weak reflexes].
"Attention everyone, the student acceptance ceremony has begun so everyone can start measuring their mana and strength statuses."
A voice came from the stage, a group of people were standing in front of them, a large old man wearing martial arts clothing, he was wearing orange clothes, orange pants and a shirt of the same color, the shirt had short sleeves and the words
"Sky Lord"
were written on it.
The man was two meters tall and had a muscular body with a long white beard and was completely bald
"He looks like someone who calls himself Sky Lord, he he he he he"
Siron thought, he looked more like someone who came out of an oriental martial arts movie than someone living in medieval Europe.
The students began to form giant lines as they gathered in front of giant devices that looked like hourglasses but in a more wavy shape.
The devices were advanced magical technologies that aimed to awaken people and make them gain mana and also measure it.
[In the original novel, Siron had gone with Sebastian after the prince insulted him in front of everyone, so he did not discover his abilities and instead relied on his influence to stay in the academy.
He was very stupid so he did not even try to discover his talent and the news about him spread and this made everyone despise him very much.]
Prince Eren first walked up to the device, the device was two meters tall and glowed a transparent white color.
He placed his hand on the device, because he had awakened his abilities from the beginning this act was only a formality
"Mana: 300, Power: 100, the person has the ability to
become a Magic Knight."
The professor who was supervising the device said. Eren looked at Siron as he tried to tell him that he was better than him at this.
"Huh? Is that all he can do?!
How did he become a hero with this talent?!"
Siron sighed as he talked to himself, after hearing the system say this he felt that it was stupid.
"Next,"
said the professor standing on the platform.
Siron walked forward several times.
"Don't resist,"
said the professor.
He touched the device and felt something entering inside him.
He didn't resist this thing as the professor said to him.
The professor was looking at the device.
"Mana 500, power 500, he has the ability to become a magic knight."
Everyone was shocked by this number.
"Huhuuu this young man is very talented."
The huge old man said as he looked at Siron's statistics.
This old man was the academy's director, Frederick Allison.
"Next."
The students continued to awaken their magical abilities. When Siron opened his eyes he felt a strange feeling.
He felt that he was much stronger.
The transparent white light was the primordial mana that when it entered a person's body awakens their magical abilities.
[Congratulations, you were able to open your mana paths. You were able to become stronger without the system's intervention.
You gained 100 coins and now have 1100 coins].
He walked.
Siron walked out of the place towards his room
"Status Window".
He said as he entered his room

Speed: 17+.

Mana: 500 (Unlocked but needs a stronger body).
