After Professor Broderick’s barrage of questions, the defense science class continued.
Broderick, elated by Simon’s excavation, lectured with even greater enthusiasm.
“There is no doubt that white magic is the greatest gift from the Goddess! Then, what is the most important mindset when using white magic?”
All the selected students shouted as if in chorus.
“It is faith!”
“yes!”
He snapped his fingers and wrote ‘Faith’ in large letters on a wheeled outdoor blackboard.
“But there is one more thing to be added to this belief in Nuclear Science! That’s right!”
After Broderick wrote ‘G’, ‘Keen’, and ‘Da’ in savage letters, bang! and hit the blackboard. Lily 4 ran in, frantically, and barely grabbed hold of the chalkboard that was about to fall behind her.
“Faith plus the heart to keep! The belief that you can definitely protect your most precious person, and that the Goddess guarantees it! That’s the point!”
He rummaged through Broderick’s bag and pulled out a dainty picture frame that didn’t match his size.
Grab it with two fingers and shyly give it a shock at the students! looked out
‘family photo?’
The selection students smiled lightly, but in their shaky eyes, ‘What are you going to do?’ question was revealed.
“Come and see! Brother Euclid!”
“Ah, yes!”
Simone, now Broderick’s love student, hurried forward.
“What do you think?”
“yes?”
“My daughter!”
He brought the frame even closer to Simon’s eyes.
“I’m only two years younger than you! How pretty and kind-hearted he is, a good boy who has never been rotten in his father’s heart!”
The dark-skinned girl in the frame could be seen grinning fiercely, tearing at Broderick’s hair, her lips smeared with chocolate.
“I passed the 19 penance all at once, and I am good at knitting because I am good with my hands! And the dot on the corner of my mouth… … !”
“Ah yes.”
“How about dating once! I will make a place for you!”
Embarrassed, Simon spread his palms.
“I-I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to decide here! You should listen to your daughter’s thoughts… … .”
“Are you refusing?”
Broderick put on a look of great shock.
“Hey, can’t you act as a man? Or do you have eccentric tastes?”
ぅ. gggggggggggggggg!
I wonder what kind of laughter I could hear, Sway 2 behind me was holding my stomach and letting out a breathless laugh.
Simon glared at Sway, then turned his head back.
“no! Not because it was so sudden… … !”
“Oh, right? I thought you rejected our cute daughter again. Something! Of course, a man can’t do that!”
“Hmmmm, professor?”
When Lirinet cleared her throat from behind, he came to his senses belatedly and looked back at the selectors.
“Anyway, the bottom line is that the important thing is trust plus the desire to protect the opponent!”
He sent a signal to Lirinet, and Lirinet created a large amount of white magic in the air and fired it with terrifying force.
The firepower was bloody for a demonstration, but it seemed to have emotions.
“The study of protection is the study of blocking an opponent’s attack!”
In response, Broderick spread his Holy Shield in the air at once to block the incoming projectiles.
“However, Guardian Magic, the basis of which is the concentration of divinity, cannot withstand the firepower of ruthless opponents for long!”
Before I knew it, there was a hole in the Holy Shield.
Lirinet, who temporarily stopped firing white magic, spread more magic circles in the air and prepared for the second attack.
“But a Guardian Priest who has something to protect is infinitely stronger!”
He carefully put down the framed family photo on the chair, then came forward with a slow breath.
If he makes a mistake, the picture frame behind him will be smashed. It looks as if he has set up a camp for drainage.
Soon, Lyrinet’s firepower poured down on him.
“It is not enough to have faith that the goddess will respond just like when performing normal white magic! Upgrade your Guardian Science a bit more!”
He unleashed his Holy Shield once more.
“Faith that the goddess will protect me and my comrades!”
Woo woo woo!
It was the same Holy Shield as before, and the amount of divinity administered was the same, but the defense power itself was different. Lirinet’s intermediate and advanced magic firepower offensive was easily received with basic magic.
“and… … !”
“Is that the real Holy Shield?”
All the candidates were surprised. Soon the smoke cleared, and Broderick wiped the bridge of his nose with his fingertips.
“A Guardian Priestess who has something left to protect is invincible. It cannot be pierced by any attack.”
‘hmm.’
Simon’s eyes sparkled brightly. His head turned quickly.
‘Basically, in addition to believing in the goddess, you mean that you write with variations on your belief in this way?’
Faith as the foundation of divinity.
When Simon also made the void, he thought, “I have the will to combine the jet black and the divine, and have the belief that the void will be completed without fail.”
At first, I thought it was absurd, but it seems that the change of belief is also used in the Holy Federation. One of the seven disciplines of Epenel recommended changing the repertoire in this way.
‘Since the study of guardianship is an old study, I might get more hints by investigating how to use faith.’
While Simon was thinking about that, Broderick raised his chin and said.
“That’s why on the real battlefield against the Necromancers of the Dark Alliance, there are usually at least two Guardian Priests who majored in Guardian Studies! A student who can explain why?”

Meryl raised her hand.
“Guardian Priests are strongest when protecting others, but it’s probably because they can’t use that much strength when protecting themselves.”
“Grátĭa! That’s right! That’s why we need more than one Guardian Priest. Because we can protect each other! In fact, in the Dark Alliance, if you see a platoon with more than three Guardian Priests, there is a rule not to confront them head-on!”
‘oh!’
This was actually something Simon knew.
I took Parahan’s Divine Defense class in Kijen.
“Do any students have any questions?”
At that, Simon’s hand went up.
“Then, the attack of the Guardian Priests… … No, do you have any weaknesses at all?”
It was going to be a big deal.
I was in such a hurry that I almost asked from the necromancer’s point of view.
“there is.”
Broderick’s mouth opened.
“The Guardian Priest has no choice but to be shaken if even one of his comrades he is determined to protect is defeated. The defense line is collapsing.”
stronger faith.
A belief close to obsession.
The stronger your faith, the stronger your divinity, and you will actually be able to protect your allies better, but the moment your comrades get hurt due to unexpected variables, your faith loosens and a divine slump comes.
That’s why Necromancers don’t fight head-on, but plan to shake the priests’ faith in various ways, whether it’s poison or gas.
This time Merrill stepped forward and asked a question.
“Then isn’t it worse if you become too engrossed in protecting others?”
“Not at all! In that case, stronger faith! As long as you don’t hurt me, I’ll stop!”
Priests are upright and don’t know how to retreat.
It was fortunate for the necromancers they had to deal with.
***
“I’ll make a team of two! Team up with friends who want to protect each other!”
At Professor Broderick’s direction, the selected students formed groups.
-Brother Sway! If you don’t mind… … .
-Wait a minute, Mr. Sway!
Epenel is a school with a high percentage of women. Needless to say, among them, Sway, a male student with a small number, was very popular.
And the second male student, Simon, was watching.
‘Is there anyone who wants to be with me? No, let’s be brave.’
Simon’s head turned.
I saw number 4 Bercy standing alone in the distance.
‘A chance to team up with Bercy, who has not yet had a major contact… … !’
However, the moment Simon was about to approach, another selector approached first and took Bercy number 4 away. At that time, Simon was screaming silently and only stretching out his arms.
“Euclidean-sama… … !”
Simon looked back.
Lisara No. 9, her face flushed red, was wiggling her fingers with her legs crossed.
“Gwa, gwa gwa gwa, if you don’t like it, jeeo and… … !”
There would be no cold-blooded person who could reject it after seeing that pitiful figure who squeezed out all the courage he had without courage.
“It’s an honor for me, please take good care of me.”
That’s how the group was all made up.
Number 8 Aitula was on sick leave, so one was vacant, but when Merrill saw Sway, whom she was only interested in, paired up with another girl, she declared that she would do it alone.
When she said that her belief in being able to protect herself was greater than her belief in being able to protect others, Broderick readily admitted.
Soon, the guarding students, including Simon and Sway, came forward, and the guarded side stood back a little further away.
“The rest of us behind our arms. Never move!”
Lyrinet wandered around giving instructions. The protected side put their arms behind their backs and cast a binding spell so that they could not move even a single step.
Professor Broderick then explained.
“ruler! The motives you have to protect are only trusting you and being completely defenseless! If you back down or shy away even a little, your precious motive behind you will be hurt!”
When he opened his arms, countless circles of white magic spread out in the air.
“You wouldn’t want to die if things got awkward after class, right? Stop it with all your might!”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Countless divine arrows rained down.
‘many!’
Everyone unfolded the white magic circle with concentrated faces and spread the Holy Shield. Soon, hundreds of arrows collided evenly, and practice began.
***
-Don’t just keep the center, keep the left and right! The motives must be right!
– Don’t back down! hold on!
-More like a villain!
Broderick continued to change the composition of the White Magic, instructing the draftees. From the penetrating arrow, to the explosive Holy Bolt, to the weakening ‘Exorcism’ that falls from above.
Attacks from above had to be blocked by jumping and spreading defenses in the air.
When it lands on the floor, arrows rain again.
“cheer up! Priest Euclid!”
Simon also cheered up at the voice of the target he was going to protect from behind.
‘Really! Interesting!’
The belief that you can definitely protect the person behind you. It became a stronger divine magic and received the attack.
Simon learned more about the use of faith.
‘As expected, there is no meaningless learning in the world! I’ll solve the sky island situation and make all the knowledge of the class mine, then go back.’
While Simon burns his will, one or two dropouts were created.
If the guards were eliminated, the starters behind them were really hit by the flying projectiles, but Lirinet quickly cast a protective spell and no one was hurt.
Suddenly, only Simon, Sway, and Meryl were left.
Meryl’s protection magic was superior to the two, but there was a limit to the belief that she was protecting herself, not others, so she allowed one attack and was eliminated.
“cheer up! Brother Sway!”
“Euclidean!”
Now it’s a battle between the two.
In the midst of everyone’s enthusiasm boiling.
“haha.”
Just then, Lethe was running into the training ground.
After investigating Aitula No. 8, she visited Simon to tell him about the situation, but he was still in class.
She wondered and looked ahead.
‘Professor Broderick’s own patronology class? Originally, another third year should have done it.’
“Uhhh, it’s Saint Lethe!”
Lyrinet came running crying.
“Lyrinet!”
“I-I was trying to stop it! But since Professor Broderick came in with a plan, what can I do… … .”
It was a lyrinet that poured out grievances chatteringly, as if to tell my mother. Knowing roughly what the situation was, Lethe smiled and patted her classmate’s head.
“Well, Professor Broderick, it’s not even a day or two. I will go and talk.”
“Ugh! sorry!”
Lethe’s head lifted.
‘You’re blocking it, Simon. however… … .’
Her gaze returned. She saw a female student jumping in place with her arms behind her back with a thrilled face behind Simon.
-Priest Euclid keeps flickering in front of my eyes!
The select student who applied for the Excellence Award, saying that he remembered Euclid when he had to concentrate on class.
It was Lisara number 9.
And Simon gritted his teeth and desperately defended Lisara.
“… … what the.”
As Lethe looked at her with a cold smile, Lirinet suddenly raised her head.
“Saint Lethe? Why are you like that?”
“It is nothing.”
“Your voice sounds a little angry!”
“It’s not like that.”
Lette watched the progress quietly. In the end, both Simon and Sway persevered, and Professor Broderick declared training a success for both.
***
“Ha ha, whoa.”
As Simon sat down in his seat gasping for breath, Broderick approached.
“Wonderful! Brother Euclid! I don’t have enough protection magic proficiency, but time will solve it! Your talent is real!”
“Go, thank you. professor. Huh Eok. omg!”
Broderick snorted and tugged at my beard.
“You really have a knack for making people fret.”
“yes?”
“No, nothing! than that!”
Broderick squatted down and held out the frame.
“When would be a good time to interview my daughter?”
That moment.
An idea flashed into Simon’s head.
“… … Professor, in exchange for an introduction, there is one condition.”
“oh! tell me anything!”
“Professor Gafen, your colleague.”
Simon’s eyes sparkled.
“If you let me meet him, I will meet your daughter too.”
“Professor Gafen?”
Broderick jumped up and stuck his head out.
“If you’re a fan, you can’t!”
Was it too sudden?
Do you think it’s suspicious?
The moment Simon waits for the next word with a nervous face.
“Are you thinking of majoring in divine mechanics? Even if dirt gets in my eyes, I can’t see you majoring in such a subject!”
Also, this person is real.
Simon quickly waved his hand.
“Nothing like that, just simple curiosity!”
“I’m curious, huh.”
Only then did Broderick speak in a softer tone.
“Rather than that, Professor Gafen wouldn’t be on Sky Island right now.”
“Is it too difficult?”
“Oh no, it can’t be! Even if it means carrying him up and flying to the sky, I will bring him back quickly. wait for me! instead!”
“yes.”
Simon got up from his seat.
“Professor’s daughter, let’s meet.”
“haha! It should be!”
The time when Simon was holding hands with Broderick and saying hello.
Something was hot in the back of my head.
“?”
Simon looked back.
Roaring!
Lethe was approaching with a smile on her face.
“Who is meeting who?”
