63 – Cleric (2)
Survival practice is over. Each student took a break and waited for the evaluation.
First of all, the teams tried to eliminate Sivar by joining forces. It was a meaningless plan in front of overwhelming power, so everyone had no choice but to be terrified.
From noble mtl dot com
Even though we cooperated, we couldn’t achieve our ultimate goal of survival. In many ways, the evaluation is inevitable.
But Luna didn’t care. Whether or not her rating is reduced, she has achieved her own goal.
That’s a chance to be alone with Shivar. This opportunity was very rare.
‘Once we’ve decided that the two of us are together, how can we make an excuse?’
I thought about it the whole time after being eliminated. How should I get an excuse to face Sivar alone?
Gloria and Cronus are secretly meeting under the pretext of sparring. But Shivar is different.
He is a person the academy pays close attention to even more than Kara. No matter where he goes, rumors are bound to spread.
Fortunately, the president and the road were covering it well, but even the road had to be deceived. Embarrassing in many ways
‘Cafés can’t be persuaded. The restaurant is also ambiguous. I don’t want Dalian to be destroyed.’
I thought about it the whole time after I returned to the dorm after being eliminated. Is there any justification that even Rod can convince?
This is an issue that needs to be convinced not only by Rod, but also by Ellie and Kara. It was good to have an appointment, but there are a lot of problems.
‘All that’s left is to go gather herbs together every weekend…’
I go gathering herbs with Ellie every weekend. It was okay to deliberately aim at this time.
Originally, Shivar should have been by her side, but if Ratatosque stood by her instead, there would be no problem.
Ratatosque is a spiritual creature with power comparable to that of Sivar, and he is sensitive to nature, so it will be of great help.
‘Or should we go alone without Ellie?’
This is the best. A situation in which no one is suspicious while taking care of the proper cause.
But the first time is always difficult. It is difficult to make the situation natural.
Luna had no experience like this and went through troubles, but unfortunately, there was someone who went through something similar.
She did not exactly go through something similar, but it is currently ongoing. People who have not even been suspected by anyone from the past until now.
“Oh, oh, oh, what did you just say?”
“I wonder how I can make an appointment without being suspicious of others.”
The breeders, Gloria and Cronus, are teaching Luna and Shibar various magic techniques.
Gloria heard her Luna’s question and her blue eyes twinkled. A face full of interest and anticipation.
Then she turned her head and looked in Shivar’s direction. Shivar is honing his martial arts with Kara’s help.
Cronos was included here as well, but the martial arts demonstrations are flowing smoothly because they need at least two people to see the proper effect.
“Does the student of Sivar know?”
Gloria asked in a whisper. It’s a very quiet whisper so that no one else, especially Kara, can hear it.
The point is that Kara was so focused on Sivar’s training that she didn’t even pay attention. At that, Luna also glanced at Sivar for a moment.
The promise was made. He said he had something to say and asked me to meet him alone. Shivar also nodded his head.
The process of reaching the result was difficult, but the result itself was fixed.
“Yes. I said it during survival practice. Let’s talk the two of us later.”
“At the time of practice?”
Gloria widened her eyes at the reply that she had talked about during practice. She too knows how her practice works.
So, it is very likely that the professors are also aware of the fact that Luna made her appointment with Shivar.
The equipment installed in the forest must be aware of the situation in real time. Instead, the speed at which rumors spread will be slow.
‘At this point, even the swordsman would know… And it would be understandable if it was kept a secret only from Kara’s students.’
Gloria looked at Kara again. She is teaching Shibar with a cool smile.
I don’t know what happened during the survival training because I only heard it by ear. Because I didn’t have much interest in the first place.
But I think you should listen to it at least once. What happened between Shivar and Luna, and what kind of situation was directed.
It was very thrilling to have a secret love affair with Cronus secretly from others, but it was also very thrilling to help someone else’s secret love affair.
“Sure. All right. I’ll give you some advice as I find it helpful.”
“Really?”
Luna’s blue eyes opened wide and she smiled brightly. Her pure smile shone like the sun, and it felt really beautiful.
Gloria smiled happily at that smile. Love also makes a person more beautiful than before.
“Of course. It’s something that might become my junior in the future, isn’t it? There’s no reason not to help a student like that.”
“Thank you!”
“Shh. Be quiet, right?”
As Luna bowed vigorously, Gloria put her index finger to her mouth, as if telling her to be quiet.
If she catches her attention for nothing, the promise she made at best may turn into nothing.
“Ah. Yes. I’m sorry.”
Luna too, belatedly, realized her own mistake and put on a sorry expression. In Gloria’s eyes, it felt cuter.
“Then you made a promise to each other, and you’re having trouble fulfilling that promise…”
“By the way, fighting with Shibar is difficult, and eating together somewhere is also difficult.”
“Why is that? Then there must be a place to make an appointment…”
Gloria tried to speak her mind, but she stopped. Certainly, Shivar is very different from the average person.
If she was an ordinary person, she could have given this and that reason, but Shivar is extremely limited.
Then what would be the best? Gloria pondered for a moment in a similar yet different situation.
‘I don’t know much about Sivar’s students, so I should start by teaching them how to draw the big picture rather than the details.’
Originally, Kronos is perfect for drawing the big picture. He has traveled to various battlefields and has a wide field of vision.
He is a person who rose from the bottom to the position of general, so he has considerable ability to draw a big picture.
It’s a bit funny to use that ability for a secret love affair, but it’s hard otherwise.
“It’s definitely difficult. Maybe it’s harder than the situation we’re going through?”
“Is that so difficult?”
“Because the methods are limited. At least the methods are…”
Gloria has been thinking about her troubles for a female student who is developing her fresh love.
She guessed that it would be a very difficult ordeal for her because she had a rival, but she herself was an advisor to the last.
While giving advice, it is always Luna who makes the choice. Originally, the future changes according to individual choices.
“Hmm! I’ve come up with a good idea.”
“Really?”
“Yes. If you miss it instead, it will be difficult to get another chance. Did you know that there will be greetings from the Byzantine side of the Holy Kingdom soon?”
“Is this your first time?”
This is the first time I’ve heard of it. I hadn’t heard much of it since survival practice.
Gloria nodded her head as if she knew it. She’ll be informed by the academy sooner or later, but it doesn’t hurt that she knows ahead of time.
“The Academy visits the Byzantine side once every quarter to find talent. Each time, the students pray or hold ancestral rites in a way appropriate to each religion. At that time, they find their aptitude.”
“Jesa ramen…”
Gaia, the goddess of life, is for prayer, and Gulag, the god of destruction, is for sacrifice. Of course, I couldn’t help but look at Kara.
Most Tatars believe in Gulag, to the extent that it is safe to say that the state religion is Gulag. As a result, I tend to control the thunderbolt freely.
“You can aim for the opportunity at that time. Just in time, Kara students are followers of Gulag-nim, so they have a justification for leaving, right? They say they are going to pray to Goddess Gaia and seize the opportunity to be together. How is it?”
“I… I think that would be a bit difficult.”
“Huh? You think it’s going to be difficult? Are you sure Luna is also a follower of Gulag?”
She couldn’t help but think that way for Gloria. It’s a really rare opportunity, but Luna drew the line first.
But contrary to her thoughts, the problem is Sivar, not Kara. Luna already knows which god Shivar was chosen by.
“It’s none other than Sivar. Sivar has been chosen by Chaos.”
“Chaos? Is this the Chaos I know?”
“Yes. Chaos, the god of chaos. I heard he was chosen by him.”
“It’s amazing. There are really few people chosen by Chaos-sama…”
As she said that, Gloria looked at Sivar. As she practices grappling, she rolls across her floor with Kara.
It’s not a strange expression, it’s literally an exercise. Never do anything stupid
“What happens to the person chosen by Chaos? I heard that Byzantium is the place where all religions exist…”
“Well, I don’t know if Chaos-sama’s followers will come. It’s a religion with so many geeks…”
Believers of Chaos are famous in many ways. The smaller the number, the more noticeable it is.
The reason why it is not persecuted as a pseudo-religion and recognized as a religion is very simple.
“On the contrary, the Chaos Church has many people who are surprisingly strong. They rarely cause damage to those around them.”
“Who is representative? I don’t know.”
“Representative… I can only think of one person.”
Gloria thought as she raised her head. She is an eccentric among priests, but one with firm convictions.
At the same time, he is an infinitely righteous righteous man who does not forget his duty as a priest.
“Kwon Seong Rize.”
“Kwon Seong? Is someone with similar skills as the president?”
“Yes. Sword Saint, he is someone who uses indigo magic like Lord.”
It sounds very strong just by listening to it. It was Luna’s idea.
“It is also called this. Saint Rise.”
“Saints…?”
Luna’s face was bewildered. She came from a rural corner, but she had only heard of a saint.
Because priests who went on pilgrimages from time to time did missionary work. Among them, the name of the saint was always included.
But the combination of Kwon Sung and the Saint. I don’t know what kind of crazy combination this is.
“It can be said that she is the face of Byzantine and the force itself. She is also the most favored person of Chaos.”
“Uh… That doesn’t really appeal to me? What the hell are you doing…?”
“He’s probably out of touch, but the convictions he holds are so famous.”
Luna was curious. How can that combination be directly linked to one target?
What is that belief, why is it favored by Chaos?
In the meantime, Gloria told me about the beliefs of Rize, a monstrous hybrid.
“As a rule, a true priest is not one who heals damage. One who finds the source of damage and removes it. That is the virtue a true priest should have.”
“··· ···”
“It sounds a bit heretical, but it means pouring water into a bottomless bank if you don’t solve the root cause. He’s a person who always leads by example, so he’s highly respected. Can you get a rough idea of what kind of person he is?”
Luna answered briefly.
“No.”
It feels like all common sense is being destroyed. I don’t know what priest that is. Even if it’s a demon crusher.
Gloria nodded her head as if she understood the feeling. She felt the same way at first.
“You don’t have to dig too deep. He’s a very busy man and he’s unpredictable. And besides, he’s not going to attend this kind of thing.”
“Hmm…”
Something is very disturbing.
Besides being a person favored by Chaos.
*****
The Holy Kingdom of Byzantium.
A country with the highest status and authority in the world in terms of religion alone.
Each country has a different religion as its state religion, but Byzantium is a city built only for the gods.
Of course, the unique color of religion has been buried, and there are many believers in Gulag, the god of destruction, so the national power is great.
Above all, the biggest characteristic of Byzantium is that it is a neutral country. It is a position that a neutral country can never have if it does not support anything.
In that sense, the influence of Byzantine on the world is innumerable. It is only natural that there is a holy place in the place where the most priests are produced.
“Please reconsider once more, Rize-nim! Why are you suddenly leaving the academy!”
However, Byzantine was currently in a noisy situation internally. The exterior is in stark contrast to the endless silence.
“Chaos-sama said. Go there and meet your fate. I’m just following Chaos-sama’s words.”
A woman······ answered the plea of a man presumed to be a paladin.
Contrary to her beautiful and beautiful voice, the woman’s appearance was very impressive. In a slang word, it’s a muscle cake.
Biceps and trapezius muscles that are bigger than most men. Two legs as thick as pillars supporting a building.
From the outside, she looked like a man, not a woman, and even her appearance was quite rugged. She is a look that would never be thought of as a woman.
It was a truly unconventional outfit that exposed most of her muscles, but it completely covered her breasts. Confused, confused in many ways.
“If you don’t follow God’s word…”
From noble mtl dot com
“That can’t be! It’s just so sudden! If you go without warning, everyone will be confused!”
The paladin answered in an urgent voice. If she heads to her academy, she won’t even be in a frenzy.
It would be noisy just by the head of the religious order, but the greeting in front of her was even worse than that.
“At least, please go as a ‘saint’ instead of ‘Kwon Seong’! If you go in that state, you’ll feel like you’re judging heresy!”
More than anything else, the current situation is the problem. Her appearance is no different from that of a muscle cake.
Heading to the academy in this state? That is to say that there is something wrong with it.
Therefore, she should go to the academy as a saint, not as an authority. Please understand our position as well.
Couldn’t I have ignored the paladin’s lamentation? Or was it a reasonable persuasion?
“Whoa…”
Puong!
As the woman let out a deep sigh, a tiny, tiny explosion occurred. Bang exactly! It exploded, and the smoke spread.
As if the paladin had always happened, there was no reaction to the explosion. She just quietly waited for the ‘saint’ to be in it.
“I don’t like this look, but I can’t help it.”
Different from the stiff tone just before, the way he spoke became infinitely softer.
In the hazy haze, a figure shimmered like a shadow.
He looks much smaller than before. The paladin was relieved to see the figure.
‘No. Why am I relieved?’
It’s only less than ‘Kwon Seong’, but ‘Saint’ is also confusing enough. The paladin lifted her head and looked towards her haze.
Just in time, the haze was dispersing, revealing the inside.
That look is undeniable.
“It doesn’t matter, though.”
From anyone’s point of view, it was fair to call her a ‘saint’.
“Because Chaos said it would be fun.”
Even the grinning face was so beautiful.
