330. How they enjoy the festival (complete)
“So, it was to deal with the blood religion that was hiding in Jihwaseong?”
“I needed an ally because I don’t know what kind of danger lurks around. I met this person in Wolguk. He said he would help me with my work, but he came to me, right?”
“Hmm…”
Bernice, who was gently supporting his chin with the back of his hand, shrugs his shoulders.
This time it was Bernice, so it was easier to resolve misunderstandings. Normally, she had to avoid her power, so she had to cover it with the truth rather than lies, but this time, she knew what I had done.
If it had been Yuri or Eisel who didn’t know the details about this, she might have been annoying.
The merchant said so.
Look at people of all walks of life passing by on the street.
With so many people around, some people might be curious about how the woman next to them changed in just one night.
Anyway, Bernice seemed to agree and move on when I told him the truth. She had no reason to cause further misunderstanding in the first place.
“Then why are you holding my hand?”
There were some ‘minor’ problems remaining.

Afterwards, I enjoyed the festival with Bernice some more, and it was the afternoon when the sun had set in the middle of the sky.
When I explained to Bernice that the cadets in her quarters would have woken up by now, she assured me that she wanted to say hello to them.
Of course, Bernice’s coming to her East did not have to be kept a secret from her, and since none of her students did not know her saint, she did not care much, but she was curious about her intentions.
Anyway, the sudden appearance of a saint turns the dormitory upside down.
Some of the cadets rolled their eyes, wondering if they were drunk and seeing something stupid.
Anyone who met the saint wearing her oriental dress in the land of the East would have thought the same.
The saint said she had something to say to the cadets of Class A and called them into my room.
“……”
“Saint…?”
“How did you come here…?”
It was said to be my room, but it was the room where Amon, Crank, and Orphel, who had drank too much the night before, were sleeping.
“Are you a real saint?”
“How can she be a fake saint? I saw her during an open class.”
“But why is she clinging to the saint and smiling like a traitor?”
“That’s because he’s the saint’s knight.”
It was a time when men and women dressed in pajamas or the same clothes they had worn the day before were gathered in a cramped room, smelling of alcohol and whispering.
Bernice twirled her finger towards those who were barely able to come to her senses and cast ‘Cure Light’, which was a wide-area version of ‘Divine Clear’.
“”……””
Soon, the room was filled with a bright light, and the hangovers of the cadets facing the light seemed to have completely disappeared, and all of them blinked and looked away.
After all, there is nothing like divine power to relieve a hangover.
This was proven by Raina, who asked Priscilla to relieve her hangover.
Afterwards, when the murmur in the room quieted down, the saintess who was sitting in her chair and clasping her hands together opened her mouth first.
“I’m sorry for coming to see you so early. I stopped by Dongbang for work and came to visit after hearing that there were cadets from the Innocence Academy at the festival.”
“That… Work…”
Yuri, who, like me, could not understand her saint’s intentions, carefully raised her hand and asked a question.
She trailed off and her question trailed off, but the gist of her question was, ‘Why are you in the East?’ It was.
Why did a saint come to the East, a wasteland of clergy and uninfluenced by the Holy Order?
“We have received information that there is a group in collusion with demons, so we have decided to take steps to subdue it. Everything ended well, so don’t worry.”
“”……””
The cadets, who had no idea about the affairs of the Blood Cult, nodded their heads in agreement.
Bernice, looking at their shocked reactions, gets to the point.
“Everyone is probably wondering why I came here. You’re probably thinking something like the connection between the saint and the academy. In reality, there wasn’t much of a connection. Until exactly a few days ago.”
It was only then that I realized why the saintess had bothered to invite Class A cadets.
A few cadets who noticed this muttered things like ‘perhaps…’.
Those who were drinking last night found out information about the ‘special class’ in advance through instructor Raina’s ‘information leak’.
“I thought it would be a good idea to explain this in advance. Innocence Academy has previously been threatened by demons. Those of you who were classmates will know better.”
Bernice then mentions ‘the incident’ that was taboo to mention among us.
Eisel, whose body flinched, slowly turned his head.
“Your friend died that day. It may be strange to express it. He was alive and well right next to me. He came back to life after a miracle, but that wasn’t the end of it. Not far from the academy, a cadet was a demon. “It was an incident where we were attacked by .”
The cadets swallow their saliva at Bernice’s serious voice. As soon as I woke up, I wondered what all the fuss was about, but it wasn’t bad news to hear.
“In the process, it was revealed that Zeto had been acting as my knight. As everyone knows, cadets are not allowed to hold concurrent positions. The Academy has always maintained a neutral position.”
“Nevertheless, why did you want to recruit us?”
Kaen’s bold question.
Bernice smiled and answered her question briefly.
“Well, I didn’t want to wait.”
Then he grabbed my left hand and immediately continued talking. Her hands were so gentle as she stroked the cold prosthetic arm that she thought she was feeling warmth.
“I thought he had already surpassed the level of an ordinary cadet. I had no doubt that if he used it well, it could become a weapon to defeat demons. Now that we’ve mentioned it, isn’t that the same for you all? “
“They’re similar…?”
In response to Bernice’s question, Crank scratched her head and asked back.
“I heard that this rider’s skills are particularly outstanding and he is called the golden rider. I heard that first-year students who haven’t even taken the main exam yet can beat seniors who have been at the academy longer.”
It was definitely excellent.
The upperclassmen were not treated well in the game either.
In the user community, there was a dominant public opinion that since he was the leader of the players in the first place, it was natural for him to stand out more.
“Do you know why the academy’s cadets were not ordered to go out even though they were attacked by demons from outside?”
“Aren’t you worried about the backlash getting stronger?”
“That’s a good answer. Of course, that was one of the reasons, but the key was to make it unnecessary.”
“It makes it unnecessary…?”
“The resurrection of the Demon King is getting closer. Invasions of demons are becoming more frequent and active. I know I’m telling you this already, but you are the generation that will experience ‘war’ in the not-too-distant future. Inevitably.”
War against demons.
The cadets nod their heads at Bernice’s firm remarks.
Everyone had a hunch.
The resurrection of the Demon King is less than a few years away, so when the heyday of those gathered here begins, war will definitely break out.
“The Academy also thought that the current method should not be maintained. I also agree with that opinion. Therefore, the Academy decided to establish an ‘Anti-Demon Special Class’ centered on this rider.”
“An anti-demon special class…?”
Lucia tilts her head.
It looks like she left before Reina leaked the information.
Special anti-demonic class.
Even those who knew about the existence of the special class seemed nervous because it was their first time hearing the official name.
“The Anti-Demon Special Class will be an organization under the Innocence Academy created in collaboration with the Silver Wing Knights of the Holy Kingdom and the Four Element Families of the Great Continent. Members of the special class will not take general classes but will be trained solely to deal with demons. “We plan to develop them into talented people. To put it more simply, we will be dealing with demons ‘directly.'”
“The cadets are demons…?”
Yuri mutters in a questioning voice.
In fact, it had to be seen as a quite unconventional statement.
The demons are not an easy opponent.
It is different from monsters such as goblins that can be commonly encountered anywhere.
Nevertheless, the academy and the saint seem to have believed that it would be possible with the cadets of this rider, called the Golden Rider.
“In the special class…”
Bernice then explains in detail what the special unit does.
To briefly summarize, the work done was almost the same as that of other knights dealing with demons.
It felt like a fence was created for the cadets to gain experience with the help of the Saint’s Silver Wing Knights and the Four Element Families.
It is said that special classes are conducted only for first year students.
However, there will be some people who do not want to deal with demons, so they plan to select people through tests through voluntary participation.
“What happens to Zeto? Doesn’t he already belong to the Silver Wing Knights?”
“Cadet Zeto is no exception. He will have to pass a test and enter a special class.”
Bernice draws a sharp line.
I knew about this in advance through the contents of the quest, so I wasn’t that surprised.
“Are you planning on going in?”
Izel, who was observing the atmosphere, asked that question.
“There is no reason to stop doing it.”
Right now, I don’t know how many people will be selected and I don’t know the content of the test, but I had to enter a special class for the ‘quest’.
‘If not, I would have tried to go in.’
The Academy has created an easy-to-use platform, so why hesitate?
After quickly finishing his explanation, Bernice clapped and stood up.
“That’s the end of the story. I think I’ll be seeing you often in the future for one reason or another, so I came here because I wanted to build up a rapport with you in advance. I won’t disturb you any further, so enjoy the festival. I heard tonight is the highlight. .”
With that, Bernice asked where her instructors were and left to meet Reina.
“Wow…”
“This is my first time seeing a saint so close.”
“If we go to the special class, we’ll be able to see each other more often, right?”
Envious eyes looking at her back as she leaves the room.
Perhaps it was a natural reaction.
Isn’t she the ‘saint’ we only heard about?
‘Well, I don’t think it’s like that for everyone…’

She also had some eyes that weren’t very happy.
It seems like he is indifferent, but it feels like he is paying attention.
***
“You explained that in advance?”
Reina, who woke up from her hangover with Bernice’s help, touched her forehead.
Bernice, who told me about the special class in advance.
It was an arbitrary action on her part, but it was not a big problem.
On the other hand, the question remains as to why it happened, and it was all because of the fortune teller’s meaningful words.
Bernice wanted to know more about what the ‘war’ she mentioned meant.
“Some people already knew.”
“How?”
“…”
In response to Reina’s question, Bernice tilts her head and points at her.
“Write… Wasn’t it a dream…?”
Raina guessed what had happened and muttered softly.
“But how did you come to the East?”
“I heard information that a group called Blood Cult had colluded with demons, and I am on my way back after killing the blood demon who was the leader of that group.”
“You too, saint? We were just about to find their home base and deal with them.”
“Ah, I was wondering where the others had gone. That’s good. I was still hoping to get some information…”
“I think it will probably arrive sometime tomorrow. Anyway, what was the reaction of the cadets?”
“I think everyone was shocked because it was so sudden. Well, I guess I wanted to say hello in advance rather than anything else.”
For some reason, Bernice shows a satisfied smile.
Raina scratches her head, unable to understand the meaning of that smile.
Bernice leisurely took a sip of tea and recalled her meeting just before.
‘Yes. It’s probably natural for bees to be attracted to flowers that are in full bloom.’
