Klaus smiled and pointed back to the stage with his thumb and said "Let's get going now, seems like it's about time for the ceremony..."
Reus and others nodded with shiny eyes with awe covering their whole faces and just silently followed Klaus
'As expected of Klaus!'
'All nobles turned back as soon as he came!'
'Having a badass friends seems cool!!!'
'He really does seem like SSS Rank Adventurer like this!'
'Is this what feels like to have connections?'
Reus and others kept staring at Klaus's back with rabbit like grateful eyes and shiny faces
The others who saw the nobles apologizing also looked amazed and shocked and just like that Klaus gathered all the attention within the first few minutes of his arrival
Klaus, Reus and his friends all sat in the front row of the stage, the next moment Ariana was sitting next on the left side of Klaus pointed towards the back
"Look at the back..."
As she said that everyone turned their heads back and noticed all the Gaurdians of relatives of students sitting in little distance with smiles
Sam's and Anna's both parents were standing with big excited smiles on their faces, there was no need for any proof of their relationship, their excited and cheerful presence proved both the families
Both of the families looked like pups and kittens just like Sam and Anna
Yumiko's gaze met with her parents and big brother sitting in japanese clothing, another fantasy cliche element
They just smiled seeing Yumiko from a distance but her big brother looked more to the doting side waving his hands and making embarrassing heart poses
Yumiko immediately turned back with an embarrassed red face
Reus's gaze met with his father and one big brother and little sister sitting in noble clothing, his brother and father looked mature but his sister was just too lively
"Do your best big brother!!! And get me an autograph from big brother Klaus!"
Reus laughed awkwardly in his heart and thought with a heavy heart and two drops of tears dropped from his handsome face
'Ahhh~ dammit seeing my own sister fanning over my best friend isn't easy, why am I feeling so jealous...'
Next were Ariana's father and mother, the mother was more like Ariana, calm and mature but her father was clearly too doting on her
"Oh My sweet daughter is looking so good today!!!"
Ariana just smiled awkwardly hearing her father shamelessly shouting like this, and both her parents were related with church too, so clearly the gazes kept moving towards Klaus from time to time too
"Get an autograph of the Saint too!!!"
Ariana sighed and moved towards Klaus and said "Don't mind my parents they ar-"
Ariana was just about to apologise to Klaus but Klaus was lost in his own world
Klaus immediately noticed his whole family including parents and both siblings waving their hands with big smiles in their faces
His whole family had brought big banners with them and waved it in air with 'Klaus is the best' written on them
"My baby is the best!!!"
"Do the best son!!!"
"Brother is the most handsome here!!!"
"My brother is the strongest!!!"
Everyone who saw that couldn't recognise the rumoured cold blooded Whiteblood Duke Family in front them because of their out of character behaviour
[Your presence has totally ruined these plots here...]
'Seems like it but...'
Klaus closed his eyes with a shaking body and next moment his behaviour also changed from charismatic strong guy to spoiled son of big shots
"Thank you guys! I will definitely be the best! Ahahaha!!!"
Ariana who had just turned towards Klaus noticed that Klaus was also waving his big hands while standing on his seat with a super bright face like a 10 year old kid seeing his family in school
Klaus and his family's shine was too awkward for all others gathered there as the image in their mind was continuously crushing as the time passed
But before that happened suddenly the principal of the academy arrived on the stage and other professors and teachers stood at sidelines of the stage
"Thank you for taking your time for today's Graduation Ceremony! Today the Golden Generation is going to graduate from our Academy
It is quite painful to see such students leaving but with this the future of our Empire will surely be very bright with this generation leading us to new heights!!!"
"Woooaaaahhhh!!! For the Empire!!!"
Hearing the principal's words everyone cheered with excitement, the principal nodded with a bright smile on her face and said
"Then let's begin our Graduations Ceremony with bright smiles on our faces and bid them a happy farewell for the future!!!"
Another wave of claps roused all over the ground from the students and their guardians
After that after a few minutes the names of students started getting announced for their achievements
Everyone congratulated each other with bright faces and gave respect to those who went to the stage
"Next will be Sam Ridens, he became one of the best mages to ever graduate from the Genesis Academy for his current age!
Reaching the peak of Tier 6 in just 24 years is a big opportunity for any human in this world"
Sam smiled and went straight to the stage and received the certificate scroll with a grin, he managed to gain a lot of cheers from the people gathered there and waved his hands with a smile
His family was clearly quite emotional right now and both of them waved their hands seeing the progress of their son
Next were there names of Anna, Ariana and Yumiko who also received a lot of cheers and congratulations of others
Anna was currently being counted as one of the best archers to graduate from here, just like Ariana and Yumiko for being best healer and strong swordswoman
"Next of Reus Ragnar, having a perfect record as the student of Genesis Academy and creating a massive number of achievements throughout these years along with his friends!
He is rewarded with the title of the 'Student of the year' and congratulations on your achievements!!!"
Reus took two scrolls of certificate and achievement with a wide grin on his face, the cheers for him resonated throughout the Academy
The presence of the protagonist was just on another level compared to others from the past
"Congrats!!"
"He really did a lot here!"
"Haha! The S Rank Adventurer in his 20s!!!"
"Congratulations Reus!!!"
Reus simply waved his hands towards others who cheered from him and nodded with his heavenly handsome face
'Haha as expected of the protagonist, his achievements stand out a lot for his age and position...'
And then came the turn of Klaus who had been mysteriously smiling throughout the ceremony
"Klaus De Whiteblood, because of some personal circumstances he didn't attend the academy for a lot of years
But his achievements show his competence, being acknowledged as Hero by world then being acknowledged as Saint by Gods at young age
Followed by absurd achievements and leadership throughout the two interschool and global competitions
And now being the first SSS Rank Adventurer in the last 300 years shows his talent and hard work!
He is being awarded the title of 'Espoir Genesis' and the honour of being 'Valedictorian' of the year!"
As Klaus entered the place, there was no one in the place who wasn't cheering for him, the cheers at place were far more strongest and passionate compared to anyone till now
Even Reus and his friends were surprised and looked back at the crowd everyone was continuously cheering for Klaus
Klaus's family was going crazy on their own from controlling themselves and kept clapping to the point the wind started changing into tempest
There were various record crystals being used for others to watch this event too who couldn't come here
Just like a certain imperial family who were watching it from their palace and other big shots of the world
"Klaus is really popular..."
Reus muttered with an excited smile on his face, Sam heard him and replied with a surprised face
"Haha, you didn't you know? Just being the son of Whiteblood Family was enough but now combined with the achievement of being the owner of the biggest merchant organisation to exist
The title of Hero, Saint, Magic Swordsman and SSS Rank Adventurer he's the biggest world wide celebrity to ever exist
His popularity even surpasses the legendary hero from centuries ago, he is popular with all races of the world!"
Klaus just went to the stage and took his scrolls and then went to the podium with a confident face and started talking as valedictorian
"Thank you all for your support here..."
As Klaus said started all the loud cheers stopped and everyone looked at Klaus with curious faces, Klaus continued
"Even after I left without telling the reason you guys still supported me throughout these years, I'm grateful for that...
In these years I have seen a lot of joy and difficulties, I have seen pain and sufferings of others but I have also seen warm unison and happiness in their eyes
As you keep going forward many will try to bring you down but you should keep your will strong,
Strong enough to reach the higher than heavens and deeper than the ocean, because that's the only path of survival for the future...
