"Silence!" As the guards' voices echoed in the Assembly Hall, the heavy sound of their long spears striking the ground resonated in everyone's hearts. The overwhelming force of it caused the previously noisy nobles and officials to immediately quiet down, all eyes focusing on Swen. His voice was firm and powerful, making the atmosphere in the hall even more solemn. All sounds faded away, leaving only his hopeful call: "Please step forward, Summoners!"
Following Swen's instructions, the five-member team, led by Wei Dong, slowly walked toward the platform. Their movements were synchronized, as if each step carried the weight of their past efforts. When they stood before the platform, everyone in the Assembly Hall could feel the determination and courage radiating from these young individuals. Wei Dong, as the leader of the team, showed the most noticeable change. Unlike his casual attire during his last encounter with Swen, this time he was dressed neatly, with every detail reflecting his respect and importance for this moment. This change was not just superficial; it was evident in his demeanor as well. He seemed to have transformed into a true leader, prompting Swen to squint his eyes in deep recognition and anticipation of Wei Dong's growth.
This moment was not only an affirmation of the five-member team's past achievements but also an expectation for their future journey. At this significant time, they represented not only themselves but also the future of Noxus. As they stood on the platform, waiting for The Triumvirate's speech and coronation, the air in the Assembly Hall became tense, all gazes fixed on them, eagerly awaiting the impending moment of glory.
In contrast to Wei Dong's demeanor, God Tone maintained his usual carefree appearance, seemingly indifferent to this formal ceremony. However, today Swen did not express any displeasure at this; his eyes were filled only with a desire for victory and recognition of achievement. Swen understood that in Noxus, power and accomplishment were paramount—anything that brought glory to the nation took precedence over all else.
Swen's voice echoed throughout the hall, each word filled with authority and pride: "Summoners, you have defeated the Nightmare and become the first challengers to succeed on Rune Continent, bringing unparalleled glory to Noxus! On behalf of all citizens of Noxus, I salute you!" His words were not only an acknowledgment of the five-member team's past efforts but also a hope and encouragement for their future journey.
Everyone in the hall was moved by Swen's words; nobles and officials alike could not help but be touched. At that moment, all attention was focused on the five-member team; they were not only proud of themselves but also proud representatives of Noxus. Swen's speech was not just a commendation for the five-member team but also a hopeful vision for the future of the entire nation.
At this moment, although God Tone still maintained his carefree exterior, he could not help but feel a sense of honor and pride under Swen's words. Beneath this honor, his carefree attitude transformed from mere posturing into a symbol of pursuit for freedom and strength. In this important moment, God Tone joined with the other four as heroes of Noxus, bearing the mission to bring even more glory to their country in the future.
With a gesture from Swen, the atmosphere in the hall reached its peak. The attendant beside him carefully produced a gleaming silver tray. Arranged on it were five dazzling badges, each engraved with Noxus' national emblem and silver iron medal insignia—this was Noxus' highest honor awarded to those who made extraordinary contributions to the nation. They represented not only glory and courage but also symbolized loyalty and contribution to Noxus by those who received them.
Swen and Darius stepped down from the platform; each step showcased their authority and determination as they approached the waiting five-member team to personally bestow upon them this supreme honor. Swen's gaze was filled with affirmation and respect while Darius scrutinized the heroes before him with a deep gaze as if silently conveying that this recognition was not only for their past achievements but also a hope for their future.
The entire process was solemn; each medal presentation was accompanied by enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience. When Swen and Darius pinned each medal onto the chests of the five members, at that moment they were no longer just members of Team Summoner but also proud representatives of Noxus—heroes of all its people. Their names would be recorded in Noxus' history as legends passed down through generations.
At that moment, each member of the five-member team felt an unprecedented sense of honor and pride. They understood that their responsibilities had become heavier; their future path would be more arduous—but they were also more confident and determined to continue creating brilliance for Noxus.
As Darius raised his arm, his movement suddenly became clear-cut and decisive. He took one silver iron medal and with almost ritualistic force thrust it into Wei Dong's chest. In that instant, Wei Dong felt a sharp pain as the medal's sharp edge pierced through his clothing and lightly pricked his skin, causing warm droplets of blood to slowly slide down his chest.
However, for Wei Dong, this pain seemed to be replaced by another emotion, an indescribable sense of excitement and honor. His gaze was resolute, and a faint smile appeared on his face, as if this pain was the best proof of his courage and determination. He looked directly into Darius's eyes, where there was not a trace of fear, only an endless desire for future challenges.
Darius saw this expression on Wei Dong's face and a glimmer of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He knew that the young Summoner before him was the warrior that Noxus needed. In that moment, the medal was not just a material reward; it was a recognition of Wei Dong's courage both in spirit and body.
The audience below witnessed this scene and could not help but erupt into even more enthusiastic applause and cheers. They saw a true warrior, one who was willing to endure all pain and challenges for the sake of honor and responsibility—a hero of Noxus. The silver iron medal on Wei Dong's chest sparkled with brilliant light, becoming an eternal bond between him and Noxus.
