On the podium of the cathedral where the sunlight through the windows breaks into brilliant colors.
Simon and Lisara knelt side by side and held hands.
‘Excellence disappears at this timing, I’m kind of nervous.’
Simon opened his eyes and opened his mouth.
“Hmmmm. Sister Lisara, for some reason, you gave me an Excellence… … .”
“I’ve been watching Priest Euclid all along.”
Simon’s neck twitched as if nervous.
‘You watched? until now?’
“I thought it was great. Especially during Mrs. Homily’s opening class. Maybe I can use such a brilliant and pure divinity. I really wanted to be a selection student ‘like us’.”
Considering that she is a suspect, every word feels significant.
Simon slowly knelt down on one leg and gave strength. He was prepared to deal with any situation.
“But unlike Priest Euclid, to my shame, my divinity has been weakening ever since I came up to the Sky Island.”
‘huh?’
“Originally, it wasn’t like this. After becoming an Ephnell student and coming up to the Sky Island, my divinity is gradually fading.”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Does my great mother look down on me? Why are you taking away my power? Could I have done something wrong?”
As if he was in a lot of pain, his voice soon became watery.
“That’s why, because I’m worried… … I’m sorry.”
Silence fell for a moment.
She closed her eyes and looked around, tears streaming down her face.
“… … Priest?”
When Simon doesn’t make a sound, he looks flustered and doesn’t know what to do.
Still don’t open your eyes It was forbidden to open your eyes for prayer, sacraments, mass, etc.
Simon was a little dumbfounded.
‘Was it really just counseling for worries?’
Recently, the obsession to find the culprit was so strong that I became suspicious of her.
Simon quickly corrected his posture and opened his mouth with a sigh.
“Sorry, sister.”
First of all, I sincerely apologize.
“By the way, would there be a reason for confiding such an important concern to me, who is the same selection student and not to the third grade seniors or the saintess?”
“Oh that… … .”
Her cheeks were stained like the sunset.
“The divinity of the priest I saw in the dog school class was so brilliant! I can’t forget it in my mind. If you are loved by a goddess… … I wonder if there is a secret… … .”
‘It seems that he is thoroughly looking for the reason why his divinity is weakening from outside.’
Although he is not an expert on divinity and is not in a position to give advice, he strangely seemed to know the answer.
“Then, would you like to tell the story of Sister Lisara first?”
“yes?”
“I heard that you are a selection student from outside. And you said, ‘It wasn’t like this originally’, right? I think I need to know what’s going on with Sister Lisara first.”
“Ah yes!”
Lisara was from a minority ethnic group from the far north region of the Holy Commonwealth called Prispel.
She was the only divine user in town. Healed the residents when they got sick, kicked out the undead when they appeared, and prevented the cold by spreading a barrier.
-Lisa is amazing. It is the treasure of our clan.
-Only saints in high places are saints? Lisa is our pride, the saintess of Prispelman!
At the mention of a saint, Lisa waved her hand. She dared to think that it was disrespectful for her to be compared to such a great being.
Then one day, after hearing the rumors about Lisara, a person came from Epenel.
They convinced the village that if Lisara systematically learned the faith in school, she would be able to do more for the goddess.
In the end, the village also decided to let Risara go for her future. She was proud of her more than anyone else, saying that her remote village came from her sky.
Lisara left her hometown like that and entered Ephnell’s starting number 9. Although she was confident that she would be able to grow even more on her own.
“After coming up to Sky Island, I realized that I was not a frog in a well.”
She bowed her head.
“I was the only one who could use divinity in the village, but there were many more great priests out there. Priest Euclid, Sister Merrill, and Sister Bercy too! As expected, the goddess wants to judge only my self… … .”
“no.”
Simon, who had returned to his normal tone before he knew it, spoke firmly.
“Listen, Lisa.”
Then he released one hand and took hold of her hand with both.
Her shoulders trembled.
“You shouldn’t try to find another reason. The reason your divinity is weakening isn’t because you were turned away from the goddess, it’s because you don’t believe in yourself.”
“Ha, but… … ! Divinity is a small miracle that the goddess lends to her followers! My sluggishness is definitely due to the Goddess… … .”
“But you are the one who causes the miracle. Would the goddess want to lend her proper strength to you, who doesn’t even try to change herself and only resents you?”
She put on a look that seemed offended.
“believe. You and no one else.”
Simon spread her palms with both hands.
“You are the one who causes divinity. What you need right now is not faith in the goddess, but faith in yourself.”
“… … .”
“Think of the faces of the people in your clan. The way they looked when you healed them with your power, how important you were to them. Think of the eyes of the people you love.”
Her expression changed in an instant.
“And by following my words, you raise divinity.”
Simon’s mouth opened slowly.

“I am. Anything is possible.”
Her mouth followed and opened.
“… … I can do anything!”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
OK.
A dazzlingly pure, gigantic divinity blossomed from her palm. Startled, she forgot that she was having s*x and opened her eyes.
Lisara’s divinity, which filled the surroundings in white, was slowly spreading throughout the room.
“ah.”
She looked in disbelief at what she had created.
and.
“Is that okay?”
Looking beyond the dazzling divinity, I looked at Simon, who was smiling widely.
“It’s a pretty and warm divinity.”
Lisara’s face turned red from the tips of her ears.
***
After exploring the streets of Sky Island, the 10 selected students gathered one by one at the plaza where they first met.
“Yes, good job! Very good!”
Lirinet, who had cake cream on her lips while rushing out of the dessert shop, was checking the results of her juniors’ mission.
Simon and Lisa had just arrived at the square.
‘I haven’t said a word since I left the cathedral.’
Simon glanced at Lisara.
Suddenly, Lisara is avoiding her. When their eyes met, they were startled or turned their heads away.
‘Did I make a dangerous statement during the Excellence Speech? It would be difficult to inform the 3rd year or the Heretic Questioner.’
However, Lisa wasn’t the type to just tell others what had happened at the sacrament. Simon seemed to be buying unnecessary worries, so he quit.
than that
-When I came out, there were many more great priests. Priest Euclid, Sister Merrill, and Sister Bercy too!
Number 4 Bercy came up.
When Simon took off his hood and showed up for the first time, he was the most surprised and astonished selection student. I wondered what kind of person she was.
Judging from the story, Lisara seemed to have seen Bercy’s power up close. She may be familiar with her.
“Hey, Lisa… … .”
“You came just in time.”
Maricello, number 3, who was originally Simon’s partner, was striding forward.
Being cold, she didn’t pay attention to Simon and spoke quietly to Lisara.
“Here, I completed my mission with Sister Merrill.”
She handed me a checklist notebook. Lisara took it and said.
“Well, we finished everything safely too.”
“Yeah, thank you very much.”
After saying that, Maricello put on a guilty expression and hugged Lisara.
“And I am truly sorry. I didn’t want to leave you with such trash.”
“… … .”
She moved away from Lisara and continued talking.
“I didn’t want to spend even an hour with that dog class kid. I owe a huge debt to my sister. This grace I must… … .”
“Euclidean!”
Risara said, crumpling the notebook in her hand.
“Don’t speak badly in front of me!”
A shrill cry echoed through the square.
Maricello was frozen like a stone statue, and the other selectors and lyrinet who heard the cry widened their eyes.
“… … oh!”
Realizing belatedly that her voice was too loud, Lisa covered her mouth. Then her eyes met Simon’s startled look, and her face turned red all the way down to the nape of her neck.
“Sorry for yelling!”
Then he ran away in an alley next door. The selectees whispered.
“I must have fought.”
“… … It’s the first time I’ve seen Sister Lisa get so angry.”
Maricello stood there with a completely bewildered face.
Lyrinet wiped the cake off her lips and clapped her hands together and shouted.
“Now, brothers and sisters, be quiet! When you’re back, come get a mission check!”
In the end, Simon and Maricello, who were originally a team, took the notebook and took the test to Lyrinet together.
“The checklist looks fine, but-”
Lyrinet, who signed the notebook, winked at Maricello.
“Will you scold me next time if you change the set group on your own?”
It seems you already knew everything. Maricello could only say ‘I’m sorry’ and bow her head.
So Simon and Maricello finished the examination and walked away.
“you.”
“?”
Maricello glared at Simon and said.
“I don’t know what kind of despicable means they roasted such a kind Lisara, but-”
Her eyes flashed fiercely.
“I am not fooled. I wonder how everyone will react when they find out your true color.”
Having said that, she strode forward and left first.
Simon groaned and crossed his arms.
‘Euclid. What the hell happened to the kid doing that?’
***
Even after coming to the Holy Commonwealth, there was a little routine.
During the day, he attends classes diligently, obtains information from various students, and investigates the saintess and the murderer.
After class, I try to get to know my classmates by having dinner and exchanging good speeches.
After dinner, go into a nearby uninhabited forest, set up a barrier, and start practicing new chaos magic and void with the knowledge of divinity you’ve learned so far.
After training, I go to the library at dawn when everyone is asleep. I was going to go to the library today. I hadn’t gotten all the information about Death Knight yet, and I hadn’t completely uncovered the secrets of divinity or Ephnell.
‘Let’s get ready to go out at dawn.’
Stretching out, Simon put the notebook he wrote behind his pillow and lay down on the bed. After sleeping for about two hours, I was going to wake up and go to the library.
‘Only two hours.’
While Simon closes his eyes and tries to fall asleep.
‘!’
Suddenly, chills ran through my body.
‘What the hell!’
The feeling that someone is watching you.
Simon jumped up and quickly looked around, then strode to the window and threw it wide open.
Whoa!
The window opened violently and a cold wind blew in.
In the distance, you can see the glittering Epenel city at night, but the entire area around this inn is immersed in darkness.
It is full of silence.
Just as Simon was about to move closer to the window.
Ahahahahaha!
From the other room I could hear students laughing loudly. Then there is a thump and footsteps.
‘Um, I felt a strange aura… … .’
Simon, who had been absent-minded, picked and laughed.
‘Did I have a nightmare because of the noise across the wall?’
Simon took one last look out the window and closed it with a clang.
And behind Simon’s closed window.
okay.
Hair like seaweed, tangled in a mess, hangs down. Beside him, a strange, skinny, mummy-like arm was stepping on the roof.
There was a crackling noise over the body where the skin was dry and the bones were clearly visible. It moved silently, perched on the roof.
creak.
My head creaked and I turned 180 degrees and looked at the window where Simon was sleeping.
Then he opened his mouth and smiled until all his gums were exposed.
