chapter 19
19 – A smooth group class
Afternoon priest class.
“You must have seen the Heretic Questioners this time too, right? In order to purify demons, divine power is essential. Even if you don’t become the Heretic Questioner, demon purification is a must-learn process.”
Viteo glanced at me as he spoke. It seemed that something was asking for my consent.
I had to nod my head.
After the search for the heretic, Viteo’s attention has increased compared to before.
“As we saw the Heretic Questioners last time, a paladin and a priest form a team of two to defeat the demons.”
“Teacher! Do you really need a paladin? They said they hate the light, so why not kill them with the divine light?”
“As you said, demons hate light. But they are not just watching. So without the help of a paladin…. Ah.”
Biteo slurred his words and glanced at me again.
When I smiled, Viteo continued to speak.
“Keuheum, it depends on the situation. Anyway, there is a point in what you say.”
After finishing the purification theory class, we moved to the practice room.
The practice room was dark because there was no light. The church’s pattern was painted on the wall.
As they entered the shady space, the students shrank in uneasiness.
The golden shield in the middle of the lab contained a demon. He was the one I moved here at Viteo’s request.
Because he was imprisoned in a sacred prison, his strength seemed a bit weaker, so he could see the reality more clearly.
The devil suddenly howled loudly.
“Keee!”
“Heo Eok!”
The children who saw the devil for the first time shuddered and stepped back.
“Extraordinarily trembling.”
Chloe stood proudly next to me, sticking out her breasts.
“Heh heh, I was also surprised when I first saw a demon when I was little.”
When I first saw the devil, I thought he was a good nutrient for growth. That thrilling surprise was still vivid.
“Okay, from now on, we will practice one by one. Demon cleansing is simple. Divine power is poison to them. If channeling divine power is difficult, consider casting a healing spell on a demon. I will call your name in turn, so come this way.”
The devil in the prison of divine power went crazy and began to rampage. The devil himself bumped into the wall of divine power and moved here and there as if uneasy.
“Keee
The devil roared in a voice that he did not want to hear.
Viteo looked at me with a puzzled face.
Anyway, the devil seemed to go mad when he saw me. He had been playing until the last time he died.
That’s something I don’t want to hear….
When it’s your turn, I’ll kill you as painfully as possible.
As I thought so, the devil suddenly felt weak and limp.
“Poem, let’s start.”
“Teacher…. Are you really okay? You just ran like crazy.”
“Don’t worry, it won’t be too threatening in there. And this is the safest place in the academy.”
Viteo looked at me and said.
The children used the divine power one by one. The devil was quieter than I thought, as if my threat had worked.
My final turn has come.
Now that the practice is over, you can deal with that disgusting bastard.
As I approached, the limp demon jumped to its feet.
“Keee
The demon ran amok like a beast in a cage.
“Okay, I’ll release you soon.”
The demon ran away from me, but ran into a wall of divine power. The devil tried to run away, not knowing that his body would burn as he hit the wall of divine power.
I passed through the shield and went inside.
“Good. Keep struggling.”
I grabbed the devil’s neck and lifted it up.
“Kieek! Kiek! Kik!”
Then he grabbed the leg with his right hand and pulled it.
The materialized body of the demon gradually increased.
Stick.
“Keee!”
Aww!
The demon’s body split into two.
The unpleasant sound has disappeared.
“It’s quiet at last.”
Looking back, the children all had the same expression.
“What, what? Is that divine power too? Did you just rip it off and kill it?”
“Since he died, isn’t that also purification?”
“I think so too. Isn’t killing demons the same as purifying demons?”
Clap clap clap clap.
Chloe shrugged her shoulders and clapped her hands, knowing what she was so proud of.
Then the other children started clapping along with Chloe.
“Heh heh, I feel a little embarrassed.”
With that, the purification class was over and today’s work was over. On my way home, someone called my name.
“Gran!”
It was Nathan Perian who was in the same group this time. He came to me smiling.
“This is Nason. But, what is it?”
“No, we were just in the same group, and we came here to get close. However…. You know we’re going to pick a leader tomorrow, right? Members are elected by voting. Pick me up tomorrow.”
Nathan was a more passionate student than I thought. He thought it would be all right if he had passion.
“Heh heh, I’ll vote for you if you want.”
Nathan’s expression brightened.
“Thank you, Gran. I’m really glad that we’re in the same group as you.”
Hmm…. You’re making a strange noise.
“What do you mean… ?”
“You know that. There are two commoners in our group. And Ekina Lugis is also our team. Are you already famous? Because I’m not good at it. I don’t know how I got into the academy.”
“Heh heh…. Identity doesn’t matter, does it? In Visilia, all are equal. As long as you have the will, that’s fine. We all come to the academy to learn. You must not disparage others based on your skills and status.”
When Nathan heard me, he burst out laughing.
“Haa…. I didn’t know you would say such a thing. Viscilia is a place to prove one’s skills rather than learn.”
“A proof without substance is just a shell. You must have a learning attitude. Since you are already inducing the division of the group, I will cancel the word that I will be elected as the leader. Then see you tomorrow.”
He called my name from behind, but I didn’t look back.
Because it was the kind I hated the most.
The next day, it was time to draw the leader.
I couldn’t decide who to vote for. It’s because I don’t know the ability and disposition.
Compared to other groups, our group was quiet.
Soon it was time to vote.
In a short time of 30 seconds, I had to write my name on a paper and submit it.
I had no choice but to write my name down. It wasn’t that I was reluctant to become a leader.
“Hurry up and bring team 5.”
Florina read the name on the paper and immediately announced the results.
“One vote for Nathan Perian. Gran 4 votes. The leader of Article 5 is Gran. Bring the next six trillion.”
Hmm?
I didn’t expect to get three more votes. Even if I become a leader, I thought I would become a leader with 2 or 3 votes including my vote.
Cleod was smiling awkwardly at me, and Echinacea still had a pouty face. Next Leah….
“Hey!”
As soon as I looked up, he shuddered and turned his head away.
Nathan’s face was stained red. He was shaking his body as if he didn’t like the voting results.
“Hey! You two! I told you to pick me up!”
Nathan shouted at Cleod and Leah.
“f*ck, this is why commoners.”
As he got annoyed, Cleod looked at Nathan. Leah didn’t even turn her head.
“Mi, I’m sorry….”
“Heh heh, Nathan-sama, be quiet. Isn’t the teacher talking?”
“What? You now….”
“You be quiet.”
Echina, who hadn’t said a word since morning, spoke coldly. Perhaps she had a change of heart, she elected me as the leader and even sided with me.
“Let’s see you guys….”
I walked up to Nathan, put my hand on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear.
“How would you like to see it now? I don’t like to say it twice.”
Nathan said nothing. I was just staring straight ahead.
The leader has all been decided.
“As I said before, there are additional points for the leader. Today, it’s up to you whether you’re talking to each other for unity or recognizing each other’s skills.”
Before Florina had finished her words, Nathan looked at Cleod.
“Hey, let’s check your skills.”
For reference, Nathan’s job was a monk. Those who fought using the energy of nature as their strength were optimized for bare-handed fighting.
On the other hand, Cleod’s job was a shooter, and they fought alongside the wind spirits. Bows and crossbows were used as weapons.
The use of weapons during class was forbidden without the teacher’s permission. So Nathan asked Cleod to fight with his fists.
It was the worst of the bad.
“I’m not good at bare-handed fighting….”
“What does that matter? Didn’t you hear the teacher during the combat practice last time? Originally fighting was unreasonable.”
“Heh heh, Nathan. Then why don’t you compete with me first? I also want to know Nathan’s skills. I’d like to see you next, Claude-sama.”
Nathan didn’t even respond to my words. His eyes were still on Cleod.
“Hey! Didn’t you hear?”
“Oh my God…. Didn’t I tell you I hate it twice.”
I put my hand on Nathan’s shoulder. He shrugged his shoulders and tried to drop my hand.
“f*ck, are you annoying….”
Kkakjik.
“Quite ah!”
Nathan’s body sagged as he strained his hand. I tried to touch it with his foot. His body shook, but there was no reaction.
“Heh heh, you must have been very tired. Then, before Nathan wakes up, it would be good for us to introduce ourselves. Come on, guys.”
Seeing Nathan drooping down, our team gathered around me without saying a word.
We sat in a circle next to the fallen Nathan and introduced ourselves.
“First of all, I will introduce myself as the leader. As you can see, my profession is a priest. If I had to pick one thing I do best…. Since he is a priest, treatment….”
“Breaking…. Smashing the head….”
Li Ae, who was lowering her head, spoke as if she was casting a spell.
Cleod and Echinan narrowed their eyes as if they didn’t understand.
“Hee hee, Li Ae-sama, is there anything you want to say?”
When my eyes met, she gasped in surprise and shook her head violently.
“Oops, sh*t….”
At that time, Nathan, who was lying next to me, groaned and tried to stand up.
I touched the nape of his neck and he fell again.
“Now, would you like to introduce yourself to Claude?”
The group class started smoothly.
