It feels as if it is fate at play here.
The time I would graduate would be when the Rutgurd's family heir would be selected. Whether William wins back his position or not, he would come after me, at that time.
This was because I would graduate and the academy has no reason to support me, unless I take up a position in the academy but to do that I have to reach Tier-4 at the least.
To the world, I am still trying to reach Tier-3 at this point. So there was no way to convince them to let me join after this year unless I showed them my real status.
Once I do so, they would definitely be suspicious of me and could hire someone or use artifacts that can show everything about me. They would want to know whether I am real or not.
I mean, I would be someone who hid their true status for so long and I am not a weak person. So there is now way that they would trust me from the get-go.
