<p>Chapter Eleven: Your Title</p>
<p>Who could it be?</p>
<p>A hint of confusion surfaced in Shaya’s mind as he set down the spoon in his hand and glanced toward the door.</p>
<p>It was just a glance, but he froze for a second, then quickly averted his gaze.</p>
<p>Two girls walked in, one after the other.</p>
<p>After seeing their faces clearly, Shaya understood why Tilius had shown such an expression.</p>
<p>The girl in front was tall, stunningly beautiful, with a confident smile playing on her rosy lips. Her platinum short hair fell softly against her cheeks and shoulders, the curves of her body gently accentuated by the loose rose-colored mage robe. She wore a pair of mid-calf high-heeled boots, and as she walked, her robe swayed slightly, revealing a glimpse of her fair calf.</p>
<p>Though dressed conservatively, the way she moved made her starry eyes appear to shimmer and beckon, stirring a sense of restlessness in those who looked.</p>
<p>Following the girl in the mage robe was an elegantly delicate girl, with flawless fair skin and waist-length, lightly golden wavy hair. Her deep green dress perfectly showcased her slender waist, and the hem of her skirt was complemented by light-colored wedge shoes that encased her delicate feet, with white lace trim adorning the top of her ankle socks.</p>
<p>The two girls had a noble demeanor, and although they resembled each other to a degree, each had her own distinct characteristics.</p>
<p>Shaya pondered for a moment and quietly asked, “Is the one in front the fourth-year senior, Angelica?”</p>
<p>Hearing this, Tilius nodded and added with an envious tone, “The current president of the Blood Rose Association, the daughter of a grand duke, who was exceptionally admitted as a teaching assistant in her fourth year, and is the fastest in the entire academy to advance to mage… Oh, I think the record has been broken now.”</p>
<p>Even so, it was enough to make him envious, considering he had worked hard for many years and still remained at the stage of a magic apprentice, just like most others.</p>
<p>Blood Rose Association?</p>
<p>Shaya was taken aback; he vaguely remembered that the academy indeed had such a mysterious organization, though he wasn’t very clear about what it actually did, having only heard about it from Deyora.</p>
<p>Angelica Algeria and her twin sister, Xivista Algeria.</p>
<p>These two twins could be considered the most prestigious students in the academy, not inferior even when compared to princes and princesses, simply because their father was Duke Algeria, the brother of the current emperor and the ruler of the Northern Earth Duchy!</p>
<p>Such nobility underlined why the two young ladies should be having tea parties with high-society girls in the mansion, so how could they appear here?</p>
<p>Not only Shaya but everyone shared similar questions in their minds.</p>
<p>Such thoughts flickered away.</p>
<p>Soon, Shaya turned his attention back and continued to wrestle with the food on his plate.</p>
<p>However, the sound of high heels did not stop; instead, it came closer, piquing Tilius’s curiosity.</p>
<p>“Tap, tap, tap, tap…”</p>
<p>Finally, the sound halted as it approached him, accompanied by a faint scent of roses. A slender shadow was cast over the long table, blocking the light on his side.</p>
<p>“Excuse me, are you Shaya Adelaide, Naya’s brother?” </p>
<p>A clear and pleasant voice came from above, prompting Shaya to raise his head.</p>
<p>Upon seeing them up close, he could appreciate even more the beauty of the twins. Even without makeup, it was hard to find any flaw.</p>
<p>In Shaya’s mind, besides the witch he met in the Abyss, it seemed that no girl could match their appearance.</p>
<p>Looking for me?</p>
<p>Clearly, Shaya’s astonishment was no less than Tilius, who sat across from him, although he appeared somewhat calmer.</p>
<p>Suppressing his confusion, he nodded slightly and replied, “Yes, that is me.”</p>
<p>Upon seeing this, the elder sister Angelica smiled, gently clasped her hands together, and said, “It’s great that we finally meet… um, may I sit here?”</p>
<p>“Please do.”</p>
<p>Shaya spread his left hand and said.</p>
<p>Angelica nodded, crossed her legs, elegantly straightened her robe, and gently sat down on the wooden chair brought over by Xivista. She then propped her snow-white chin on the edge of the wooden table, carefully sizing up Shaya.</p>
<p>This motion caused her wide sleeves to slide down slightly, revealing a segment of her pale, slender arm, which was inexplicably seductive.</p>
<p>The more timid Xivista stood quietly behind her sister, occasionally sneaking glances at Shaya and quickly averting her gaze, seemingly lost in her own thoughts.</p>
<p>After being stared at by such a beautiful girl for a while, even Shaya felt somewhat uneasy, prompting him to initiate conversation: “Did you come to find me because of Naya?”</p>
<p>She was very beautiful, fitting his type, and while her skills in knightly training appeared to be decent, they could only be described as “adequate,” far from excellent and as ordinary as rumored.</p>
<p>Currently, it seemed that she didn’t even qualify to be on the review list for the Blood Rose Association.</p>
<p>Angelica quickly made a cold judgment in her mind, yet her face remained adorned with a gentle smile: “That’s right! Additionally, I actually share the same teacher as Naya, so if you don’t mind, you can call me Senior Angelica, like her.”</p>
<p>Shaya remained silent.</p>
<p>As expected.</p>
<p>Mr. Sital’s reminder, Sergey’s insinuations, as well as the reactions of the older students around, all related to that genius younger sister, Naya.</p>
<p>It seemed that Naya and Angelica had a good relationship, and both were students of that female court magician.</p>
<p>He hesitated, choosing not to mention that he barely interacted with Naya, instead opting to listen to what the other party had to say.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, having finished her observations, Angelica appeared to lose some interest. She loosened her right hand and adjusted her sleeves, leaning her delicate body back in the chair.</p>
<p>“Well, I’ll get straight to the point.”</p>
<p>“Junior Shaya, just three days ago, your sister Naya Adelaide successfully ascended to the status of mage at the Mage Tower and formed her first Magic Ring… do you know about this?”</p>
<p>She looked directly into Shaya’s eyes as she spoke slowly.</p>
<p>Mages are a realm above magic users, and reaching this level at the age of 14 is something that historical texts have few records of.</p>
<p>What kind of concept does this represent?</p>
<p>Even in the academy, this level aligns with that of many instructors; some professors of mysticism who aren’t well-versed in magic are merely at this level.</p>
<p>After a brief moment of surprise, Shaya gently shook his head: “I was not aware of this.”</p>
<p>Hearing this, Angelica smiled subtly, and her expression turned somewhat peculiar: “Then you must not know about another matter.”</p>
<p>“For certain reasons, this news even reached the court. His Majesty the esteemed Emperor expressed deep sympathy upon learning about the tragedy that befell the Adelaide family a decade ago due to invaders, and he has exceptionally proposed to grant Naya a reward.”</p>
<p>“This serves not only as an investment in a future sorcerer but also as compensation for your family.”</p>
<p>Calmly, Shaya replied, “She is the only family I have in this world now; if that’s the case, I will sincerely bless her.”</p>
<p>“Oh, what a responsible and good brother! If I were Naya, I would definitely be moved to tears.” Angelica pretended to wipe her eyes, then blinked her enchanting big eyes, “So, Junior Shaya, would you be willing to offer some ‘little’ help for your sister’s future?”</p>
<p>Shaya fell silent for a moment, recalling Naya’s cold attitude and unapproachable comments.</p>
<p>But ultimately, he nodded gently, “If this help is within my capacity.”</p>
<p>At these words, Xivista, who had been quietly standing behind her sister, suddenly lifted her head to look at Shaya, revealing a somewhat worried expression.</p>
<p>She glanced at her sister and then at Shaya, her pink lips slightly parted, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. Her delicate hands nervously twisted together, modestly resting on her abdomen.</p>
<p>Due to the angle, Angelica didn’t notice her sister’s unusual behavior. After receiving Shaya’s affirmative response, she smiled slightly, seemingly filled with meaning: “Don’t worry; it’s not a difficult matter at all. It just requires signing a contract.”</p>
<p>A contract?</p>
<p>Shaya sensed something amiss.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, a contract involves one party exploiting the other, containing many unequal restrictions, and may even include some harsh magical punishments.</p>
<p>“What kind of contract?”</p>
<p>He furrowed his brows and asked.</p>
<p>“A contract promising to renounce your right to inheritance and transfer the title to Naya,” Angelica’s smile curled up, her melodious voice carrying a hint of coldness, “As compensation, I can agree to let you join the Blood Rose Association as an outer member.”</p>
<p>“This is both your teacher’s advice and mine.”</p>
<p>The trap had been set.</p>
<p>After discussing for so long, she finally revealed her true intentions, much like a beautiful siren showing her vicious fangs.</p>
<p>Shaya silently realized that this was what Sergey had hinted at earlier.</p>
<p>“Although the empire’s laws do not prohibit women from holding titles, gaining a title through bestowal is ultimately several times more difficult for women than for men, unless… it is inherited.”</p>
<p>“Your sister, being an unprecedented super genius, will have a title to her benefit, making a significant difference compared to not having one.”</p>
<p>“If she can enter His Majesty’s sight as a female viscount, then she won’t have to start from scratch accumulating merit; whether it’s future promotions or other matters, it will be much easier. Perhaps upon graduation, she can immediately become a court magician, which means countless resources and broader horizons.”</p>
<p>“For Naya, who has no foundation, this is a test as well as an opportunity to change her fate.”</p>
<p>“And for you, that title may just be a way to solidify status and elevate your esteem. So, achieving a similar purpose by joining the Blood Rose Association is the same.”</p>
<p>“We can even provide you with a decent life that you don’t currently have, such as high-society parties, excellent companions, and… easily obtainable wealth.”</p>
<p>With a sweet smile on her face, Angelica articulated cold and brutal words one by one.</p>
<p>Seeing that Shaya remained silent for a long time, she assumed her words had an effect. So, with a haughty smile, she continued, “Perhaps you still do not understand what it truly means to join the Blood Rose Association.”</p>
<p>With that, she gently clapped her hands.</p>
<p>At her command, many senior students stood up simultaneously and walked toward the two.</p>
<p>“My name is Efi, from the Golden Griffin Clan, a three-star knight, a candidate for the Holy Radiant Knights.”</p>
<p>The brown-haired boy at the forefront was handsome and exuded an extraordinary presence; he gave Shaya a slight smile and introduced himself.</p>
<p>After finishing his introduction, he took a step back and quietly stood aside.</p>
<p>Next, the people behind him followed suit: “Gaspar Croft, co-proposer of the theory on the enhancement of magical devices. By the way, my mother is a great sorcerer.”</p>
<p>“I’m Sally Latusos, from the Violet Family; my fiancé is Prince Fifth… just call me Sally!”</p>
<p>“Ferguson Sylport, the second son of the Snow Wolf Family, with three rare mines valued at hundreds of thousands of gold coins; that was my birthday gift from my father.”</p>
<p>“Horace Zimmermann, an exchange student from the great academic capital, currently a five-star magician; I should be able to ascend to mage like your sister by the end of this year.”</p>
<p>“Ivan Archer, a first-year student, currently an outer member, recently advanced to a one-star knight; my father is the Earl of the Archer Border.”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>After everyone introduced themselves and their backgrounds, the entire dining hall fell into silence.</p>
<p>This was merely a part of the Blood Rose Association’s members, yet it already included descendants of prominent noble families.</p>
<p>Clearly, they were all exceptionally talented individuals supported by substantial families; it’s no exaggeration to say they were among the elite at the top of the academy’s pyramid, destined to excel in various fields after graduation.</p>
<p>In contrast, Shaya, hailing from a small territory under a remote province, felt rather insignificant.</p>
<p>Even if he inherited the title of viscount, he could only be seen as a rootless fallen noble, lacking industries or connections, and he was even less substantial than some affluent merchants.</p>
<p>This served not only as a display of the Blood Rose Association’s foundation and strength but also as a subtle intimidation towards Shaya, pressuring him to bow his head before so many.</p>
<p>Faced with such a luxurious lineup, it was likely that the vast majority of people would exhibit humble and fearful expressions.</p>
<p>“Well then, please give me a definite response as soon as possible.”</p>
<p>Angelica smiled sweetly and confidently, lightly adding her final weight to the balance.</p>
<p>Silence.</p>
<p>The entire hall sank into prolonged quietude.</p>
<p>It seemed that in the presence of such a force, everyone combined would become insignificant.</p>
<p>At this moment, all the pressure was concentrated on one person.</p>
<p>It was a suffocating pressure.</p>
<p>To agree? Or to reject?</p>
<p>Then, the person concerned gave his answer.</p>
<p>“I do not agree.” Shaya raised his head, gripping the spoon tightly in his hand, his expression calm, “I, do not agree.”</p>
<p>Who could it be?</p>
<p>A hint of confusion surfaced in Shaya’s mind as he set down the spoon in his hand and glanced toward the door.</p>
<p>It was just a glance, but he froze for a second, then quickly averted his gaze.</p>
<p>Two girls walked in, one after the other.</p>
