No doubt about it, Rozen was now absolutely famous.
Even without needing to spread the word, Rozen's reputation within the academy soared to the highest.
At that time, there were already many onlookers watching Rozen and Magnus's battle, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that all the students, professors, and high-ranking officials of the entire academy were following this fight.
Therefore, there was no need to spread the news. Rozen had already displayed his strength in front of everyone, and even if he wanted to hide, he couldn't.
Yet, that battle continued to be a topic of discussion for everyone.
There was no help for it; as long as they witnessed the fierce battle, no one could remain unimpressed.
Rozen's unexpected strength certainly exceeded everyone's expectations, but the power exhibited by Magnus was even more astonishing.
Especially in the end, the scene when Magnus used the Crimson Wing Formation made everyone in the entire academy deeply stunned, finally understanding that this individual was on a different level.
"Such a scale of magical power is not something a human can possess."
"How did he manage to achieve this?"
"At that level of magical power, combined with six powerful automata, how can one possibly fight back?"
The students within the academy who were aiming for the Wiseman's throne analyzed this way, some with solemn expressions, some with troubled faces, and all eventually reached the conclusion that they couldn't defeat him.
To make matters worse, Magnus's six automata's abilities were not completely revealed yet, still hiding a portion of their strength, leaving everyone feeling helpless.
"So, this is the Marshal?"
"He broke the academy's records and achieved the top comprehensive grades in the history of the academy."
"Truly living up to the reputation."
The students who viewed Magnus as a formidable adversary clenched their teeth in frustration.
To be honest, even without using the Crimson Wing Formation, and just using a single automaton, Magnus could easily rank among the "Thirteen."
And yet, this Magnus not only possesses six automata but also wields the Crimson Wing Formation. His abilities have reached the level of "Mind's Eye." With such an individual set to attend the Night Party, who wouldn't feel the pressure?
Of course, what's even more astonishing is Rozen.
"Facing someone like Magnus, this transfer student from the Far East can still rival him."
"His strength is at least at the level of the 'Thirteen.'"
"Although in the end, Magnus only used one automaton after using that magical power enhancement technique, this transfer student probably has unused means, right?"
"Leaving aside everything else, just the large eagle that declared war on Magnus, there's no sign of its use."
"Is it intentionally being concealed? Or is there another hidden agenda?"
"Regardless of which side, this Night Party will likely require extra vigilance for this dark horse."
Those students competing in the Night Party and aiming for the Wiseman's throne all had such thoughts.
It can be said that Rozen and Magnus's duel had intensified the atmosphere before the Night Party.
The glove holders were all calculating for this, those who were unrelated to the Night Party were constantly engrossed in discussion, and the students who hadn't given up on their Night Party participation were striving. Everyone had different thoughts.
Moreover, even the academy showed signs of activity, proving that they weren't indifferent to this.
However, no matter how much buzz was created outside, it had nothing to do with Rozen now.
Rozen, who had already achieved his goal, was quite satisfied with the current outcome.
"Next, it's just a matter of waiting for the Night Party officials to release the qualifications and obtain the gloves for participating in the Night Party."
Now, Rozen just needed to wait.
So, while the academy buzzed with excitement over this matter, Rozen continued his daily life as usual.
Even on that day, when Hinowa and Yuge came over with Subaru, the students who were still participating in the Night Party couldn't help but be stirred by Rozen's displayed strength. Some looked at Rozen with adoration, some were motivated to resist, and some were indifferent, but they all marveled at Rozen's current strength.
By the way, it seemed that Hinowa and the others had decided to continue participating in the Night Party.
"Although winning at the Night Party is not my purpose for coming here, since Rozen-sama is preparing to participate, I hope I can show my own strength as well," Hinowa said firmly, her spirited appearance truly refreshing Rozen's perception of her.
However...
"Yaya won't show any mercy, okay?"
Yaya said this with a smile, causing the atmosphere to turn cold.
As for the reason, it was naturally because Hinowa had said somewhat hesitantly, "I must let the world know that Hinowa is a woman worthy of Rozen-sama."
For Rozen, this was destined to be another bloody battle.
And Rozen had the same words as before.
"I'm used to it."
Rozen, maintaining his composure, felt that his "Mind's Eye" seemed to have been subjected to new training, reaching a higher level.
Of course, this was just an illusion.
...
The next day, in the morning.
After Rozen had breakfast in the dormitory and entered the building of Automaton Physics with Yaya, the classroom, which had been lively just a moment ago, suddenly quieted down when Rozen entered.
In the previous second, the students who were chatting lively all lowered their voices as Rozen walked in, their gazes towards Rozen now carrying a lot of awe.
Rozen didn't show any surprise at this, and like he hadn't woken up yet, he yawned while walking lazily towards the back row.
On the contrary, Yaya seemed to take pride in Rozen being so awe-inspiring, following behind Rozen with a cute look, chest held high.
In this situation, even Charl, sitting in the corner, cast her gaze.
"It's just obtaining the qualification for the Night Party, what's there to be proud of?" Charl propped her cheek, glanced in Rozen's direction, muttering such words.
To Charl's words, Sigmund lifted his little head and spoke up.
"We can't be careless. Without a doubt, that's a formidable enemy. If you're aiming for the Wiseman's throne, you must surpass Magnus and him no matter what."
Sigmund cautioned.
Hearing Sigmund's words, Charl couldn't help but recall the fierce battle from yesterday and fell into silence.
However...
"No matter how strong the opponent is, I absolutely can't lose."
Charl bit her lip, determination evident in her eyes.
"No matter what means I have to use, I must become the Wiseman."
Only on this point, Charl would absolutely not yield.
This Charl didn't notice, the gaze Sigmund directed at her was full of pity and compassion.
And these two individuals couldn't have anticipated that they would intersect with Rozen under unforeseen circumstances.
