Chapter 68

While waiting, Tireda had already begun to feel somewhat irritated. He realized that everyone was not talking about him, not about how he had easily passed the复试 (retest), not about his extraordinary talent, not about his elegant dance at the family ball, but almost everyone was talking about a young man from Moonlight City.

To Tireda, the topics and stories people were discussing seemed largely unbelievable, absurd, and laughable. How could divine magic have no effect, and a severe injury that could not be cured be healed after being pierced through the head with a long sword, and then bleeding out? These classmates were truly stupid, believing whatever others said, as if they had no brains at all?

After a while, Tireda could no longer bear to listen and turned to look at the classmates behind him. Wearing a tattered white robe and coming from Moonlight City, these simple descriptions made Jiang Junming easy to identify. In the crowd, Tireda saw Jiang Junming. With just one glance, Tireda sneered. The young man who had become legendary in the rumors was nothing special, just an ordinary young man from Moonlight City who had never seen the world.

Jiang Junming also felt someone was looking at him, not with the curiosity of other classmates, but with a gaze that seemed to carry anger and jealousy. With his enhanced senses, Jiang Junming could clearly perceive things he couldn't before, such as the gaze now fixed on him.

Following the gaze, Jiang Junming saw Tireda. This person was very strong, much stronger than Little Price, which was Jiang Junming's first impression.

"Junming, hello." A young man wearing apprentice knight armor walked up to Jiang Junming and greeted him warmly.

The apprentice knight's armor was heavy and sturdy. The young man held his helmet in his hand, with a slightly pointed face, somewhat thin, and slightly curly, light yellow hair. He had a full forehead, bright eyes, a prominent nose, and slightly thick lips. His appearance was honest yet intelligent, making people feel joyful at first sight.

Jiang Junming felt this young man looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't immediately remember who he was. Recalling the people he knew, there shouldn't be anyone familiar in Moonlight City.

Could it be Caines? When Jiang Junming treated Caines a few days ago, his face was pale, and in such a tense and critical situation, Jiang Junming didn't have time to carefully observe what Caines looked like. After a few days, Caines had clearly fully recovered and had become a healthy, cheerful young man. This is why Jiang Junming didn't recognize him at first.

"Caines?" Jiang Junming asked.

"Yes, I am the Caines you saved." Saying this, Caines placed his right hand over his heart and respectfully performed the most solemn knightly salute to Jiang Junming.

"Thank the Goddess of Mercy for her blessings." Caines said.

"Thank the Goddess of Mercy for her blessings." Jiang Junming returned the salute, also speaking devoutly. Although Jiang Junming didn't really feel this way, at such a time, the more devout he appeared, the easier it would be to explain his surgical matters later.

The surrounding classmates moved aside, whispering among themselves, clearly no one had expected Caines to do this.

"Who is that person?"

"He is the one from the Combat Academy who was severely injured a few days ago. If it weren't for Junming, he would have died. I heard that even the high priest said he was about to return to the gods and serve them."

"Really! I thought you were joking. A severe injury that even the high priest's divine magic couldn't cure, I never thought, really never thought."

"But why does he look familiar to me?"

"Of course he looks familiar. He is the son of Sir Slo, one of the nine councilors of Moonlight City. This time, that young man named Junming has had a stroke of luck. Do you guess what benefits Sir Slo will give him to thank him for saving Caines?"

"I don't know, but it can't be that after graduating from the Church Academy, he will be appointed to preside over a temple, or enter the city council as his assistant?"

"Who knows."

Tireda's eyes seemed to be on fire. Seeing Caines' actions, his previous doubts were dispelled. Could it be that this young man, dressed in a simple and somewhat shabby manner, really saved Caines with such an incredible method a few days ago? Could it be that what he thought was absurd and boring was actually true? No, no!

"Six days ago, thank you for saving me. When I just recovered, my mind was still a bit unclear, and if I did anything impolite, please forgive me." Caines stood in front of Jiang Junming, with a gentle smile, and said.

"It's nothing, treating and saving people is the mission of our Church of Mercy." Jiang Junming smiled.

"Let me introduce myself. I am a student at the Combat Academy, named Caines. My father is Sir Slo. If you need any help in Moonlight City, please don't hesitate to come to the Combat Academy to find me." Caines said. At this moment, the high priest and several teachers in front of the square were already preparing to speak, so Caines didn't say much more. He smiled and said goodbye to Jiang Junming, "You are about to listen to the high priest's instructions, so I won't disturb you. When you have time, come find me, or you can go to the Combat Academy to find me, no need to be polite."

Saying this, Caines waved his hand, turned, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"Sir Slo, he mentioned Sir Slo, one of the nine councilors of Moonlight City?"

"There is only one Sir Slo in Moonlight City. Who else could it be?"

"The city council has great power, and almost all matters in Moonlight City are decided by the nine councilors and the bishop of the main church. This time, that young man has made it big. With Sir Slo's care, is there anything he can't do in Moonlight City?"

Listening to the classmates discussing Caines and his father Sir Slo, Jiang Junming began to feel a little excited, but then he thought, it seemed he didn't have anything to ask Sir Slo to do. If he was really judged as a follower of a heretical religion because of the surgery, even Sir Slo might not be able to help him.

However, when he had time, he could go find Caines to play. Having a few friends in this city would always be good.

"Silence, silence!" The teacher in the green robe stood on the square and loudly said. His voice was loud, drowning out all other sounds.

The students' spirits were immediately lifted, holding their breath and looking at the front. Finally, the school year was about to begin, and a new chapter of life was about to start. The young men were somewhat excited, suppressing their emotions, and carefully listening to the teacher in the green robe.

"Next, please welcome Bishop John Tello to give the instructions." The teacher in the green robe gently clapped his hands, stepped aside, and moved a few steps back, making way for the central position.
