10. angel…?
●
Sir Ophelia, who is in charge of the freshman dormitory supervisor, is a gentle person in many ways.
In addition to the narrow eyes he always maintains, he always smiles warmly and doesn’t get angry at all, which is especially the case.
She is also popular with students because she is a beautiful woman with a distinctive rich blonde hair.
That said, if you ask me if you are a person who is just like that, it is not that, at least as you can see from the fact that he is receiving the title of ‘Gyeong’, this person is a regular knight on active duty.
It is almost heavenly for chicks who have just entered the academy.
Being a regular driver is an enviable job that requires you to go up to the 5th school district, which is the minimum standard for talented people, so that you can receive career counseling.
“Have you all arrived?”
Of course, when I see him leading with this languid voice, it doesn’t look like that at all.
With a wry smile, he follows Sir Ophelia, who is leading the freshmen from the front. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a mother duck leading her young behind.
The current location is Grande Hill, the highest hill in Elfante Academy. All nearby facilities are in full view.
It would be the best place to introduce new students to the overall structure of the academy.
“That’s Hakgwan-dong, everyone is familiar with where it is, right? The facilities used inside each department are different-over there is a physical training room mainly used by the Knights Faculty, and over there is the Magic Training Hall of the Magical Faculty…”
As for me, the explanations I already knew were lined up.
Elfante’s curriculum is divided into up to five fields. It is also a field representing each department.
Knight, sorcery, practical, crafting, theology.
It’s not just Elfante, it’s also a system that runs the same way in tribal unions and academies in the Holy Kingdom.
Starting from the welcome party that will be held a few days later, the freshmen will choose their major and minor from these subjects, and the same goes for the main character.
‘…Actually, it’s an undergraduate course.’
It is called ‘Faculty’ and the facilities used there, but considering the size of each, it is no exaggeration to say that each is a small city.
True to its reputation as the best educational institution on the continent, the amount of land and cost allocated to each department is staggering.
Well, the same applies to the academies of the neighboring Holy Kingdom and Tribal Union.
Elfante Academy, The Great War, The Furnace of Strife.
The best educational institutions on the continent within a short distance of each other.
It is a setting that points to this and calls it the golden triangle.
‘Well, that’s it.’
I listened to Sir Ophelia’s explanation with one ear and with the other I checked the items I brought.
An incense burner in a backpack, and various materials to buy incense inside.
And a couple of extra… ‘sacrifices’ to use.
This field trip event, which follows directly from the entrance exam, feels like a tutorial that explains the world view and explains the functions of the academy to the player, but there are definitely things that can only be done at this time.
“Hey, is that the famous Void Zone over there?”
okay. You asked a good question.
When one of the students asked such a question, a troubled expression appeared on Sir Ophelia’s face.
Then, the narrowed eyes returned to the huge gray orb that the student had just pointed at.
Even though it is located farther away than it seems, its insidiousness and ominousness can be clearly felt even from such a distance.
“That’s true, but- entry is prohibited over there- it’ll be a big deal if you go in-“
A dome-shaped sphere of enormous size embedded in the center of the three educational institutions forming a triangle. And a huge tower-shaped building looming inward.
Sir Ophelia’s comment was not an accident. In fact, the expression itself is too mild.
The product of the Shinma Great War, which went down in history as the worst war ever. Void Zone.
This is the place where the messenger of God and the hero who inherited that power waged a final bloody battle against the demons and sealed all of them.
Hundreds of years have passed since it was first discovered, but there seems to be no sign of subsiding in the clash of morale and divine power that swirls around it.
If you get close to it, 100% of people will die. Even a human with powerful abilities can’t have a good influence.
‘In the first place…’
That’s why the three academies, the golden triangles, are close to each other.
In the ‘Great Agreement’ concluded after the Shinma War by the three powers that rule the continent – Empire, Seonghwangguk, and Tribal Alliance, there was a clause that each other had to dispatch a certain number of manpower to manage this void.
That promise is still valid today, hundreds of years ago when the devil last appeared.
Now, it is said that all demons are sealed due to the sacrifices of the warriors of the past, but if they are freed, the place that will be the starting point and opportunity is definitely over there.
The reason why there are so many suspiciously high-quality staff among the academy faculty is because their main job is monitoring and guarding the void. It’s too much of a waste of manpower to just play and eat, so I feel like I’m concurrently serving as a teacher.
“…”
However, considering the main scenario, it is not so unlikely that the real demon is released.
I feel dirty all over again.
“Isn’t it a famous place passed down even in mythology? Can we go closer and take a look?”
“Uh-um-”
When several students eager for learning asked with their eyes wide open, Sir Ophelia pursed her lips and scratched her cheek.
Seeing that, I calmly tied my backpack.
In many ways, it is Sir Ophelia, who is called ‘Mom’ by users. If it’s a request from the students, I’ll do anything. What follows is obviously…
“Then, shall we only go as far as the guardian barrier of the chiangel-nim-? It’s safe inside-“
right.
●
Another word for the messenger of God revealed in mythology is the existence of an angel.
As an existence that appeared together when the devil woke up and started to turn the world into a mess, he delivered various blessings and knowledge to humans.
Its power is said to have been such that an angel could boil the sea and overturn a mountain by itself.
When it comes to chiangels, it is a title given only to beings with different powers among those angels.
It can be said that he has a status that is almost equivalent to that of a demigod in the world view.
“Then I’ll have lunch around here-”
And the fact that such an existence spreads a protective barrier means that it boasts enough stability to have a leisurely meal near the void.
In the first place, the reason why the academy can exist around here is because of this barrier.
The sight of a cluster of bright white light floating nearby is a spectacle in itself. All the students were bursting with admiration.
Soon after, one of the students who opened the seat and brought out the lunchbox saw him and asked Sir Ophelia a question again.
“By the way, I heard that priests often visit this area. Isn’t that one of the few pieces of evidence that can be studied directly by seeing the power of angels?”
“Yes-?”
“Then, have you ever seen an angel in person?”
The student continued to ask questions with sparkling eyes.
Well, that question is understandable. There is a legend that says that angels who normally live in the underworld and descend to the human world always give ‘blessings’ or ‘gifts’ in front of humans who appear.
Each one is extremely powerful, and it is said that the blessings and gifts bestowed by angels were themselves items that would be recorded in history.
Maybe theologians or priests try to see an angel somehow, and that’s a pretty big share.
As far as I know, it’s a tradition based on facts.
There are only a few conditions.
“Well, even when I was on duty, I often saw splendid ceremonies and ceremonies, but there was never a case where an angel appeared in person-”
The student who questioned Sir Ophelia’s answer nodded in agreement.
Well, it’s none other than that angel. Is there an existence that can be easily observed?
Although it looks like that.
‘…That’s actually easier than I thought.’
I muttered that to myself and approached Sir Ophelia.
“Hey, can I eat a little further away?”
“Yes-?”
Sir Ophelia tilted her head. Is there any reason why you should? It is a gesture that thinks
“Anyway, it’s a little uncomfortable to eat here.”
“…Ahh-“
However, after hearing my words and looking around, he nodded his head in agreement.
I was the one who slashed Elijah with one shot and was in the same place during the commotion surrounding the assassination of Princess Tristan. Awareness has no choice but to skyrocket in some way.
Of course, most of the gazes that are stuck on me right now are not so moderate, so there is a high possibility that they are perceived on the bad side.
Since I subdued Hasmed during the entrance exam and just let him go, there are many potential problems in many ways, so both Elijah and Elnor, who watched it, are silent.
In other words, my perception in the world is that I am a free rider who didn’t do anything while Princess Tristan was being assassinated because it wasn’t enough to subdue the next hero candidate by cheating.
There is a tendency for rumors to be inflated only to the too bad side, but the guys who chew on such gossip in the first place are the ones who accept the information in the state that they decided not to like me from the beginning.
It must be that a baron with no roots is not getting attention.
“You shouldn’t go too far—? It could be a big deal-“
“Yes.”
Of course, it’s none of my business whether they do or not.
On the contrary, I am grateful that Sir Ophelia left me alone thanks to such an outright dissatisfaction.
‘Let’s see…’
It comes far enough out of sight of others.
There’s nothing good about showing others what I’m going to do from now on.
uh.
primarily in a theological sense.
“great.”
I set things up one by one from the backpack.
Divine Ultrima. Ingredients to burn to make incense.
Stuff the unicorn horn powder into the incense burner, and light a match while sitting on the phoenix feather.
Then, when the firepower was moderately adjusted with a fan of coral water, acrid smoke began to spread in a lump nearby.
And the smoke immediately reaches a halo of light floating nearby, which soon begins to mix and clump together.
The function of Ultramar is simple. As I likened to the phone before, it allows me to reach people I would never normally be able to communicate with.
Materializing the beings of the other side of the real world. That’s what Ultramar is capable of.
‘If you think about it…’
Theologians and priests coming around here and making all sorts of fuss is not such a wrong approach.
The angelic presence is evidently particularly intense around here. It must be shocking to see the barrier that the chiangsa himself opened, not anywhere else.
The problem is, what they misunderstand is the nature of angels.
Since they are beings that appear in mythology, they tend to mistakenly think that they are ‘noble’ and ‘noble’.
They are dignified beings who serve as models for others.
By the way.
That’s not it.
really.
-…..
The smoke combined with the halo of light soon takes shape, and soon several sturdy men are revealed one by one.
What hangs behind it are pure white wings. Floating overhead is a golden halo.
It’s a clichéd angel look no matter who sees it.
but.
“How did these fucking bastards do the pre-work? Where are the bastards from the camp construction cooperation unit this quarter?”
“Hey, Lord Angel. Probably the kids belonging to Gerion.”
“No, do the jockeys who are inferior to me do things like this? You have to smash your head to come to your senses, right? Hey, call those bastards. When Chiang-nim sees this, we all look like motherfuckers. understand?”
No matter how you look at the conversation in progress, it is not a noble and virtuous atmosphere.
In the first place, there is no place to feel the elegance of tools such as a hammer or a night shovel held one by one in each hand.
“…”
The atmosphere of the angels is, so to speak, kind of… similar to an ‘army’.
uh.
extreme southern society. A thorough rank system. Top-down clothing structure that must be removed from above. A stiff and violent atmosphere.
If there is a work made by Chicheonsa himself, it is said that the people under him have to run around for maintenance.
“We don’t have enough holy water dough to bridge the barrier over there! May I ask if I can borrow a little!”
“You bastard, can’t you do one thing right? give me a brush I do it myself. Anyway, old-fashioned angels these days can’t do anything right. That’s when I was-“
“…”
Listening to the conversations nearby, I think it was good that I came alone.
If devout believers saw this, they would have passed out with foam on their face.
“Me, but Squad Leader. Is there a human over there?”
“uh. what is he?”
“You mean you’ve been staring at us since earlier?”
“It must be a coincidence. Still, it’s nice that he’s quiet. Every time I see those bastards who come and fuck periodically, they are very…”
Now, let’s think about it.
What would it mean to hold a splendid ritual or ceremony in front of such people?
Being dragged out for manual labor that I don’t want to do and rolling around like a dog, I feel like I’m going to die. He is in such a sensitive state that he wants to kill even if someone talks to him next to him.
But what if dozens or hundreds of people flock to you and continue to recite Buddhist scriptures or Bible verses right next to you?
There is a reason why angels do not descend. It’s because we all have mutual interests.
I’m just glad the disaster didn’t happen.
What this side wants is something very simple and primitive.
He sighs and takes out the ‘offerings’ he brought from his backpack.
mainstream alcoholic beverages. These drinks are characterized by their high alcohol content and lack of delicacy, but with their unique intense taste.
And meat bought in moderation at the market. The rough and rough taste that ordinary people enjoy eating. But there’s nothing like this to accompany this drink.
It’s a kind of special set for construction workers.
This is probably the best way to rejuvenate during intense labor.
Pyeonyuk with a glass of makgeolli that you sweat like crazy.
can’t stand this?
“…The old man eats really well. Did you pick out just what you want to eat?”
“Shall I ask for a little…”
“We cannot descend to the material world without the permission of the humans we recognize. Advent conditions aren’t met, so what’s the point of asking…”
“Uncles.”
When those words were spoken softly, the angels around them who were chattering among themselves all became quiet.
They seem to have noticed that I am recognizing them.
And on top of that, I smile and continue talking.
“Eat and work. Then you get hurt.”
The angels’ eyes turned upside down.
