"Next student, step forward." The Archpriest's voice echoed through the grand hall, causing the murmurs of the gathered nobles to die down. "Javier De Armand of the Armand Household." At the mention of his name, all eyes turned toward him - some with curiosity, others with thinly veiled skepticism. The youngest son of Count Armand, known more for his carefree attitude than his noble obligations, was about to receive his blessing. Javier let out a small sigh and rose from his seat. With a lazy stretch, he adjusted his uniform and strolled toward the altar. His steps were unhurried, unfazed. Liana and Gloria watched from the side, both poised and composed. Meanwhile, Iria and Iziya, his newer maids, shifted nervously, feeling the weight of the moment. Arriving at the altar, Javier stood before the Archpriest, a regal - looking man draped in ceremonial robes, who gestured toward a massive glowing crystal. "Place your hand upon the crystal, and may the divine blessing reveal your path." Javier wordlessly placed his hand on the crystal. For a brief moment, silence. The crystal erupted in a brilliant glow. A pulse of radiant light spread outward, illuminating the entire hall. The noble children gasped, some instinctively shielding their eyes from the sudden brightness. The murmurs grew louder. "That's… brighter than usual." "What kind of blessing is this?" "Is it a powerful class!" From his seat at the front, the Headmaster smirked as he observed the reaction. Meanwhile, the Archpriest carefully examined the shifting light within the crystal. His brows furrowed slightly before he took a small parchment, wrote down the result, and passed it to the Headmaster for confirmation. After a long pause, the Archpriest finally turned back to the crowd. With a booming voice, he declared - "Javier De Armand has been bestowed with the title…" A tense silence filled the hall. For a moment, no one spoke. The hall erupted into murmurs. "That's the first time I've heard of such a class…" "What does it even mean?" Even among the gathered noble families, confusion spread. Titles like Mage, Knight, Warrior, or Healer were common. But Noble Lord? No scholar, priest, or noble had ever heard of such a designation before. Javier, still standing at the altar, exhaled slowly, his expression neutral.
