Upon arriving at school, Su Yun found that, as expected, a large number of people were late, including teachers and even school administrators.

When Su Yun arrived, he saw a crowd of people rushing toward the school gate. Those who usually drove were nowhere to be seen; given the current situation, they were likely stuck in traffic, and it was unclear if they would even make it by noon.

Because of this, the school's morning classes could not proceed at all, so they simply announced that the entire morning would be dedicated to self-study.

For the students, this was naturally a cause for celebration, and everyone in the classrooms was excitedly discussing the situation.

The content of their discussion was, naturally, the Light Screen footage that had aired that morning.

King Arthur, the knight Diarmuid, the Conqueror King Iskandar, and the elderly Li Shuwen.

Each of these figures, whether existing in myths and legends, history, or even modern times, had appeared. Every one of them was a point of discussion; even Diarmuid, the "least" famous among them, possessed his own stories and legends.

In this era of convenient information transmission, in less than an hour, the profiles of the various Servants from the Holy Grail War had already been popularized online.

The most discussed, without a doubt, was Artoria, who served as the absolute protagonist, displayed overwhelming strength in the Light Screen footage, carried the entire battle, and possessed stunning beauty.

This Knight King had already gained countless fans globally, especially among the youth, with many being captivated and becoming her die-hard fans.

After all, beauty is justice, and that young King Arthur was undoubtedly an existence that maxed out the justice stat, so gaining fans was only natural.

Following the Knight King was the Conqueror King Iskandar. This tough guy, who appeared at the last moment with sparks and lightning, fully demonstrated what heroic passion was through his bold personality and domineering style.

His personality was the perfect embodiment of a man's martial arts dream, adventurer's dream, and king's dream.

Therefore, the Conqueror King also gained countless fans, though unlike the Knight King who appealed to both genders, his fan base was primarily male, with only a small number of women who liked the muscular and exotic types.

In contrast to the Conqueror King was Diarmuid. This handsome man also gained many fans; although he lost to the Knight King in battle and only survived due to his Master's support.

However...

He was handsome!

That handsome face and the perfect physique outlined by his blue bodysuit made many women and even gay men drool, wishing they could rush up and lick the screen displaying the Light Screen footage.

Do not doubt it; there really were many people who wanted to do that.

A world that judges by looks is just that speechless.

Finally, there was Li Shuwen. The identity of this old gentleman had also been exposed, causing a storm online, and the discussions were mostly among middle-aged and elderly people or adults with rich life experience.

For these people, Li Shuwen, who became a Heroic Spirit as a modern person, was more worthy of discussion.

However, among the student body, it was the complete opposite; the level of discussion was not high, and only a few individuals with knowledge of him were interested.

In addition to the Servants, those Masters were also within the scope of discussion.

The weak and embarrassing Waver was mocked and teased by many.

The beauty and strength of Irisviel evoked goodwill and pity.

Emiya Kiritsugu's "LYB" (hidden schemer) attribute was impressive, and many felt he did a great job.

The curiosity regarding how much support Diarmuid's Master, as a top-tier mage, showed for his Servant also led to a longing for magic.

Undoubtedly, although the video that appeared today only totaled twenty minutes—the regular length of an anime episode—there were countless points worth discussing and pondering. It was destined to spark topics for a long time, and there would certainly be countless content creators, streamers, news reporters, and others acting as unpaid promoters, constantly circling these characters and events to discuss them, thereby maintaining the topic and continuously producing Fantasy Power.

This was absolutely a good thing for Su Yun, especially when he saw that his Fantasy Power had broken through the 40,000 mark, making him feel happy and very satisfied.

Of course, there were five digits after the decimal point; in reality, according to the normal conversion method, it should be the sum of all these digits that represented the true unit.

However, as a game designer, Su Yun had an instinct to prevent numerical inflation, so when he constructed the system, he brought his professional habits into it, forcibly adding decimal digits after the overall number.

Of course, these things were not actually important; one only needed to know that Fantasy Power was having a bumper harvest.

At the same time, fragments of Fantasy Crystal were also being produced continuously, and it was not far from condensing a complete Fantasy Crystal.

Once he had the first complete Fantasy Crystal, Su Yun could begin to let the Trainee Agent Artoria start working.

Yes, Su Yun had spent so much effort and so much Fantasy Power; could Artoria, whom Su Yun had selected as his gold-medal agent, be this lazy?

It is time, young lady, you cannot stop yet.jpg.

Before he knew it, it was noon.

For lunch, Su Yun took out the bread and milk he had bought at a convenience store on the way to school that morning. It wasn't a feast, but the nutrition was sufficient. For him, with these conditions at school, there was no need to dwell on it.

The main reason was that he didn't want to squeeze into the cafeteria or the school canteen with everyone else; otherwise, he could have had a more sumptuous lunch.

As a world-renowned top-tier high school, both the hardware and software were maxed out.

After finishing his lunch, Su Yun left the classroom and began a post-meal stroll around the campus. Along the way, many girls peeked at him; many had sparkling little stars in their eyes, and some had flushed faces, wondering what they were imagining.

After all, the beauty of this skin was truly maxed out. The World Consciousness had simply and crudely strengthened and beautified his body during his transmigration, and at the same time, it had given him the world's blessing, making anyone who saw him naturally develop a certain degree of goodwill, with some even having fan filters directly applied.

In this situation, it made him look like a prince who had walked out of a manga book.

At least in this school, influenced by the long-standing "chuunibyou" culture of Yingzhou, he had already earned the title of "Noble Prince of Flame" of Tianwang High School.

"Flame" referred to the Flame Kingdom, and the meaning contained within was that he was an existence representing the image of the Flame Kingdom.

When he first learned of this, Su Yun couldn't help but twitch his face. How thick-skinned must one be to call someone the "Noble Prince representing the image of the Flame Kingdom"? Although he was indeed very handsome, he didn't go so far as to represent the image of a great nation, right?

However, thinking about how Yingzhou often gave strange nicknames to powerful figures from the Flame Kingdom, such as "The Absolute Empire's Destroyer Dragon," "The Supreme Fierce Tiger of the Takamagahara High Kingdom," or "The One-Hit Kill Heartless Demon King," the nickname given to him wasn't that strange. At least, while it was embarrassing enough to make one cringe, it wasn't that outrageous.

Of course, the reason for this situation was also due to the cultural victory of the Flame Kingdom.

Just as the West on another Earth had cultural hegemony, causing many people around the world—especially young girls—to think of those beautiful and handsome Hollywood stars whenever they thought of "foreigners," directly substituting them for the image of men and women of that country, and then saying things like "foreigners are so good-looking" every day, they would never think that those who looked that good were only a minority, and most Western men and women were far less attractive than Easterners.

This is the terror of a cultural victory. The Flame Kingdom did not choose the crude and brutal path of military conquest, but instead pursued a cultural victory, creating a global fanatical worship of and rose-tinted view toward the Flame Kingdom.

Mm, the classic "even the air in the Flame Kingdom is sweet" meme.

Of course, these matters had nothing to do with Su Yun. His mission was not to make the Flame Kingdom of this world prosperous; in fact, there was no need for him to do so, as the Flame Kingdom was already the world leader.

Dealing with the Mystery was the reason he came to this world and why he had received numerous benefits and blessings from the World Consciousness in advance.

Then, while walking through the school garden, Su Yun suddenly encountered someone.

"Ara~ isn't this our dear Noble Prince of Flame? Why aren't you with your lovely classmate Artoria today?"

A somewhat playful voice, carrying a deliberate tease, rang out. It was a sweet voice, and one Su Yun was familiar with.

Su Yun turned his head calmly, his bright eyes narrowing as he smiled—a standard "the smiling ones are all monsters" expression.

"Good afternoon, Kurumi. Have you had lunch?"

Tokisaki Kurumi, a student at this school, in the same grade as Su Yun, and the young lady of the Tokisaki Conglomerate.

At the same time, she was also the fiancée Su Yun had acquired at the start of his transmigration—the fiancée he had directly broken off the engagement with.
