173 – Finding the Saint of the Academy – 5
“A Necromancer is a saint, do you think I asked you to joke like that?”
At the same time as Tequila said that she was a saint, Levinport frowned and looked at me.
“Tequila is a very talented necromancer and black magician. By the way, is she a saint?”
Hearing the sound, Yukel quietly approaches Tequila and starts sniffing.
“No smell of divine power. Absence of strong divine power, one of the characteristics of a saint.”
“Did you hear? Not even Eukel, who was on a mission to find the saintess, said no. Don’t joke like that… … Can’t you take it seriously? It’s a big deal for the academy.”
This, really, I was becoming the bad guy.
No, it’s true that I’m a bad guy, but I don’t want to be a bad guy unjustly… … .
More than this. I had no choice but to show it myself.
“The thing on Tequila’s ear is a device that suppresses divine power. This, too, was learned through the information of the angels. Levinport. Can you make sure that no energy leaves this room?”
“… … what? That’s not difficult.”
After hearing my words, Levinfort clicks his fingers with a puzzled look on his face.
At the same time, a strange feeling ran through my body, and a different feeling swept through my body.
“Is this enough?”
“Suffice.”
Spatial isolation that only high-ranking dragons such as Levinfort can use.
Even if tequila spewed divine power with this, it would not be known from outside.
“Tequila. May I ask you?”
“… … yes. The vice-chancellor also said it was important for the academy.”
Take a deep breath, exhale and slowly dismantle the tequila.
It was a very familiar move than the first, as it was the second, not the first.
Click. With the sound, white light started to pour from her body.
A tingling pain that covers the entire skin at the same time.
“… … !”
Since the space itself is isolated and the divine power that touches me is considerable, the pain was incomparable to the first one.
When you’re barely enduring the pain with a frown on your face.
“Gregory-sama, I’m going to protect you!!!!”
Rose, who blocked me from tequila, opened her arms wide and began to block me.
“Rosé… … .”
“Gregory… … !”
“I’m really thankful for my heart, but it doesn’t stop me just because I block it with my body.”
“Eh?”
In the first place, the room was already filled with divine power.
Here, even if Rose blocked the divine power with her body, the amount of divine power that touched me remained the same.
Well, maybe that feeling has been conveyed, but the pain has decreased a little.
“… … I guess that’s all it takes.”
“All right.”
After confirming the shock on everyone’s faces, I told Tequila, and she nodded and put the piercing back on.
The vice-president’s office was swept away by the aftermath of an enormous shock, like a seat after a storm had passed.
It was Yukel who broke the silence first.
“… … saintess.”
Yuquel kneels and bows straight to the tequila.
To her, who was a member of the Sacred Church that fanatically worships the Heavenly God, the saintess was no different from God’s representative, so it wasn’t that she couldn’t understand why she acted like that.
Levinport was the next to speak.
“… … It’s ridiculous. Tequila was really a saint. If so, how should I explain the contract with the undead?”
“If that’s the case, there are good teaching aids. Demonic.”
“… … Why are sparks flying at me when I am still?”
Demonic, who had been clinging to the side of the tequila in small form until now, raises his head and looks at me.
“Isn’t it okay to hit that much divine power at close range? Above all… … Levinfort, do you feel anything about him?”
“How do you feel? hmm… … What I feel… … no I don’t feel the morale that you should feel if you’re an undead.”
It was that Demonic, who should normally be full of fraud, did not sense any fraud.
“From the first time I took the piercing off, I didn’t feel any fraud. It seems that the undead who signed a contract with tequila have changed into something else after taking off their piercings.”
“Changing into something else?”
“okay. I don’t know what it is, but what is certain is that it’s not an ordinary undead.”
“An undead without morale and a necromancer emitting divine power… … . The more I think about it, the more absurd it is.”
In the end, Levinport grabs his forehead and sits in his seat.
“Your work has been decided. As long as it was certain that the saintess was at the academy. We have no choice but to thoroughly secure and defend.”
“… … yes?”
Tequila is taken aback by Levinport’s words.
“At the academy… … Aren’t you kicked out?”
“I was kicked out, who? you mean?”
At the words of such tequila, Levinport speaks with a smile.
“Since the academy seems to be in danger because of one student, that student is to be expelled… … . If it was an ordinary academy, it certainly might have been. However, this is the summoner academy. As the academy was founded by the first summoner for those who are neglected, the academy does not give up on any student.”
“… … A lot of people might get hurt.”
“That is none of your business as a student. In order to prepare for such a situation, there are instructors, there are summons, and the president and I are here.”
Because that spirit was the Summoner Academy.
“First, tequila. Hide your divine power as much as possible. We are the only ones who know that the saintess is you, but since the academy is the place that has already been identified as the location of the saintess by the enemies, the enemies will come after our academy.”
“… … All right.”
“And the other personnel, please keep as quiet as possible about this matter. … … What worries me the most is Yukel. Not you… … .”
Yukel was originally a member of the Holy Church.
As one of the orders she received was to search for the saintess, she did not know when she would turn to the enemy once she learned Tequila’s true identity.
“… … new friend. saintess. This alone is sufficient reason to disobey the orders of the Holy Church.”
However, to put those worries to shame, Yukel, who had been on his knees until now, answered firmly and stood up. Priscilla smiled at Yukel’s appearance.
“Anyways, it seems that Miss Rose did something this time.”
“yes? me? I didn’t do anything… … .”
“You made us all friends, right? With that alone, Rosé played a big role.”
“… … .is that so?”
I put my hand on Rosé’s head, who was still puzzled, and smiled.
“Yeah, it looks like your balls are big this time. thanks. Rosé.”
“… … lol. yes!”
This is the situation where the academy’s move is decided. In preparation for what was to come, what we were to do was as if it had been decided.
“By the way, everyone, aren’t you going to class? According to the timetable, it must still be class time?”
“Ugh!”
classes and training.
As a student at the academy, as a summoned beast, he became stronger while doing what he had to do.
“uh… … . Can’t we just stay here a little longer?”
Rosé put on a pitiful expression and begged Levinport earnestly, but Levinport shook his head and said.
“In the future, as we hold several meetings related to this work, there will come a day when we will not be able to attend classes even if we want to. So, everyone go back to class right now.”
“… … yes.”
Eventually, Rosé and the other children walk into the classroom with their shoulders drooping.
Knowing that this class is a foreign language, I tried to fall into another place… … .
“Gregory! I can’t die alone… … !”
I was caught by Rose, who suddenly grabbed my arm.
“Now, wait a minute. You tried to protect me from divine power until just now, but this time you want to die together?”
“yes! Taking classes together reduces the pain!”
“Because I’m a devil, I know most foreign languages!”
Since this was a part that was no different from the devil’s setting, the reality was that most foreign languages were automatically translated and heard.
“i know! That’s why I need Gregory by my side!”
… … If there’s something you don’t know, you say it grandiosely to tell me.
In the end, I had no choice but to let out a sigh and be dragged away by Rosé.
He wants to help me study harder, but I have to go… … .
Like Levinport said, you don’t know how much more peaceful academy life can be in the future.

“So, are you saying you completely missed Yukel’s trail?”
“That’s right. Cardinal.”
The headquarters of the Holy Church, which exists in a space that is out of reach of humans and called apocryphal by others.
There, they were talking about Yukel, who had been captured by the Empire not long ago and had no news.
“… … Obviously, information continued to come in until he was captured by the Empire. It seems that her whereabouts have become unclear since the news of a great guest visiting the empire.”
“… … A big guest of the empire.”
After hearing the report of the man standing in front of him, the cardinal stroked his chin.
“If you’re going to use the title of a big guest in the empire, you’re not an ordinary person. Investigate those who have recently been hailed as heroes in the Empire, and their great guests. God will be pleased.”
“Johnny.”
The man who received the order disappears as it is, and the man who sits alone in the cavity where the moonlight permeates is bursting into laughter as if he is having fun.
“Ukel… … . There are two cases in which you cannot come back for any reason.”
dead or
or found a saintess.
“Please, the latter would be nice. whooping… … .”
Under the bright moonlight, the shadows slowly begin to fall.
