34 – Invitation
Aether, Goddess of Light.
From noble mtl dot com
A goddess known to be the greatest among the gods.
Most of her countries worship her as their main deity.
Aither is such a great goddess.
I knew that.
[Apostle. What do you want? Yes? As long as you defeat the demon, I will listen to everything. So please don’t ignore me and listen to me!]
The supreme god who reigns above the gods and receives countless human prayers. Aether.
She was no different from a child now.
[Are you ignoring me now? Right now, there is nothing good for the apostle. I know? Please listen to me just once!]
Her words pour out like rapid fire.
[Seongguk. I only go there once. Yes? How good is it to go and meet the pope and meet the beautiful saint? If you go, it’s guaranteed to be a VIP treat!]
He spits out all kinds of flattery, but he ignores it.
[Let’s go! Let’s go to Seongguk! Is the world going to end? Why don’t you listen! Listen!]
A very sweet voice. Anyone who hears her voice will like it.
Watching the way he was being pampered with such a voice made me feel sorry for his voice.
No matter how good your voice is, if you listen to those words all day long, you might get annoyed and tired.
But I wasn’t.
I enjoyed every moment.
No matter how much she cried and begged, she had no intention of listening to her.
[Apostle! Does Sado-sama have no family? Isn’t it the end when only the apostle dies?]
She must have been really cornered when a writer called Goddess even touched her family.
Though I haven’t answered her words since morning. She decided to answer at least this time.
“You brought me into this world as a single person, so there is no such thing as a family?”
For the first time, her voice, which had been talking nonstop all day, stopped.
But after a while, she opens her mouth again.
[…] … Uh, that was wrong. I was wrong! But you’ve been apologizing since that morning, right? Even if I look like this, I am the goddess of light! God is apologizing like this, but can you do me a favor? Isn’t it? Yes?]
Please.
Yes. If it’s an easy request, no matter how many enemies it may be, I’m sure they’ll be able to do it at least once.
But to kill a demon?
That’s not a request. Isn’t that a death sentence?
When I think about it again, I feel disgusted.
To kill God without prior consent.
After pulling the gloves out a few times, I entered the classroom.
“Nice to meet you all.”
“Oh, teacher, are you here?”
“You are a little late today. What happened?”
The students greet me as I enter the classroom.
It is not that the number of students has increased just because they have moved from a failed class to a mixed intermediate class.
The number of students will increase in earnest around the time when new students are accepted.
So the number of students that should be in my classroom right now is five.
By the way…….
Why 6 people?
The number of students that caught my eye as I entered the classroom was a total of six.
There were more than one person.
Xenia Decaron. She was in my classroom.
When she looked back at the scenery inside her classroom, she could see her students gathered around her.
And in each hand, they were holding black envelopes that looked like invitations.
Before I even asked what it was. I told her
“Ms. Xenia. Why are you here? Please return to your classroom quickly.”
Soon it was time for class to begin.
There was no time for her to be here.
“I came here for a while because I have something to tell the teacher and Zeke’s friends.”
After her words, she slips through the gaps of her students surrounding her.
Then he comes up to me and gives me the same invitations the students are holding in their hands.
Black envelope.
It was well sealed with red beeswax.
The coat of arms of the Decaron family was stamped on the wax.
Two ferocious lions facing each other, standing with their paws raised.
No matter who sees it, it was sent from the Dekaron family.
Tear it open and check what’s inside.
He is a founding contributor to the empire. The best swordsman on the continent. A letter from the Decaron family.
There was nothing special about what I checked while nervous.
Inviting me and my students to an upcoming party.
“After hearing the results of this competition, the head of the family sent an invitation saying that he would like to meet the teacher and Zeke’s friends in person.”
The head of the Dekaron family.
Jade Decaron.
The biological father of Zeke and Xenia.
It is the strongest sword in the Empire.
If you ask what kind of person Jade Decaron is, he is like a sword that protects the empire.
instant noodle scks tho
What is the sword that protects the empire? It doesn’t mean defending the imperial family.
To protect the people of the empire.
That is the meaning of the protection of the Decaron family.
Infinitely near or far from the people.
That is the Dekaron family.
It was also the reason why Zeke was able to hang out with his friends without hesitation in a class with only commoners.
Because it’s such a family, even if you go, you won’t be persecuted. It is a good situation to gladly accept the invitation.
But there is a problem.
Students cannot leave Arsene because it is still in the middle of the semester.
It was the same for me.
“…… Miss Xenia. I think this will need to be confirmed by the president.”
Xenia, who knows the meaning of my words, nods her head slightly.
“Yes.”
This is what I said. It didn’t seem like the president would give permission easily.
Now. The passion of Arsene Academy students was burning more than ever.
Ms. Akon said that after Mars Arena was established, her students realized what they lacked and worked hard to fill that lack.
My students’ presence in such a situation was like pouring fuel on their enthusiasm.
Students from the failed class won the championship purely with their skills.
My students, who were weak, suddenly appeared at a height that they couldn’t reach.
The guy you thought was underneath is now looking down on you.
That fact alone was enough to stimulate the energetic children.
Under these circumstances, if my students left Arsene, the burning passion could cool down.
From the president’s point of view, it won’t be very pleasant.
With that thought in mind, I moved to the president’s office.
●●●
“Come back.”
“Yes?”
The word came out of her mouth that she didn’t think she would allow, so easily.
“Really?”
Are you really going to send it off so easily?
I couldn’t believe it when I asked again.
She starts to answer my curiosity.
“Actually, I got a call before Mr. Derian arrived.”
“Are you contacting me?”
Not many people can get in touch with her personally, as she is the strongest mage in her continent.
Arsene’s teachers are her teachers. If she has any business, she can go to her directly.
‘Who are you?’
Who the hell contacted her and was able to get her permission?
The name of the main character comes out of her mouth when such thoughts clutter my head.
“I was also a bit surprised when I got the call. I didn’t know that Jade would contact you first.”
“Duke Decaron himself?”
“Yes, that’s right. She said that the boy contacted him directly and said that she would like to invite Zeke’s friends and her teacher.”
The person in power next to the emperor of the empire directly contacted me and asked for it.
It was not an issue that even Arsene’s president could easily overlook.
Of course, she had the power to ignore the Duke of Decaron’s request, but it could be a headache for her later.
It is said that at first she tried to refuse the duke’s request. But. She says that she readily agreed to the terms of the Duke of Decaron.
“How can you refuse to invite invited students when they offer to engage in one-on-one sparring?”
If the world’s strongest magic is Atalante Arsene.
The person who can claim to be the strongest in the world with a sword is Jade Decaron.
When such a strong woman offered to teach the students herself, there was no way that Atalanta, her educator, could refuse.
“I hope you have a good experience.”
●●●
A few days have passed since the president’s permission was given away.
My students and I were preparing to leave Arsene.
[Where are you going now?]
Aither speaks.
I didn’t answer.
[Where are you going now? Are you finally going to the Holy Land? Have you changed your mind? I believed you! You are also my apostle!]
She pours out her words with vain expectations.
She always hangs next to my leather belt and I can’t help but miss her conversation with Atalanta.
She just denies reality and fantasizes as she pleases.
Even if it’s a delusion. There is nothing more enjoyable than breaking expectations.
I decided to face reality.
“I do not go to the Holy Land. Now I’m on my way to my disciple’s family. Should I call it a home visit?”
[Isn’t this the Holy Kingdom?]
“Yes.”
[No eh eh eh eh!]
The goddess’ cries echo in my head.
It’s not an easy thing to hear.
Ah, that’s sweet.
