After the teacher's lesson everyone was silent, I think anyone expected to be taught that divine powers are a kind of disease. The teacher is obviously prejudiced against the gods, but the logic behind his cruel and undeniable words, if divine power really behaves like that it is really very dangerous, no matter what kind of property the divine power has I don't want to get close his.
I wonder how difficult it would be to resist divine power, the divine powers that priests have should be diluted in their aura or mana and that should make it much easier to resist them. After class with the teacher, I paid more attention to the mercenary who has recovered from yesterday's shock, I thought she has the profile of a victim who could be corrupted by the divine power of the demon goddess, but no matter how I look at her I I can't find what's weird with her aura and core are normal.
I'm probably not the only one who thinks the mercenary is a weak link, I saw Raziel looking at her with concern and I don't doubt that the four of us are being watched, if one of us looks like a pinnacle has been corrupted by bad divine power the church people will have their fun when they arrive tomorrow.
As the hours went by, I started to feel like a rat in a laboratory, I'm sure the teacher's class was made to make us paranoid and more suggestive of the influence of the divine power of a demon goddess. Although I believe the teacher and my master have faith in my endurance and strength and will, but I still feel a little irritated that I have to play the role of lab rat no matter how pretty and comfortable the cage is.
That day was shit for me and I doubt my colleagues feel different, but I ended up discovering Pruma's name, her name and Alex Pruma she is Pruma's niece who was defeated by Hilda's aunt. She came here not only to see the old ruin as she had the purpose of solving problems with Hilda and Ingrede nothing too serious or cruel, she just wanted to deceive or beat them as a retaliation for what their aunt did in the capital in the past.
I was a little surprised by her attitude, as far as I know the problem that Hilda's aunt caused was something small and only a little affection for Alex's uncle. All in all I think it's a big exaggeration for her to come all the way here just to make trouble because her uncle was defeated in a fair fight against Hilda's aunt, but considering the parties involved in this, I wouldn't be surprised if Hilda's aunt hadn't told the whole story about the event, so I decided to give the Prums a free hand after all that I'm probably alive and well now because of the sacrifices of their men and women, even though they were mercenaries they were still carrying out the orders of the Puma family.
But when I asked her what her plan was to kidnap me, she refused to answer and hid in her corner, she is really ashamed of what happened before. In the end her family must regard what happened yesterday as an epic flaw on her part, a personal vendetta ended the bite of several men and women in the Pruma family as well as getting her family involved with a horrible figure, even that they are seen as victims they will be forced to actively participate in hunting against the demonic shadow.
This will only result in more kills and they will clearly take a stand against a god, even if that god is an evil god or in this case a demon god is never smart to stand out in this kind of confrontation. The Pruma family will have to deal with a lot of problems because of this, I should even feel a little sorry for them, but I feel that they face these problems means I won't have to worry about them.
The only other thing that happened was that I was the only one to receive a visitor, to be more exact during lunch Wulfgar appeared in the secure room. It seems that the teacher has asked the warrior who brings our meals to bring Wulfgar with him, it is good to have pleasant company that is unaffected by the heavy atmosphere that is in the room all day.
The evening was much quieter with Wulfgar's presence, but unfortunately that mood ended in the morning when the group made up of priests from four different churches arrived. I felt like I was facing a bunch of lunatics and that was because one of the priests who was an orange core mage had divine power within his core, avia a starry blue aura swirling inside the priest's core and by the colors of his clothing he must be a devotee of the goddess Melici.
The priest of the goddess Melici who wore a blue robe with golden edges positioned himself in the center of the safe room showing that he led this band of priests, if the room was not small, they should have brought more than a dozen warriors from their temples.
"Good morning, I heard the report of your encounter with the vile demonic assassin, as all of you must know how to get in contact with this type of person and very dangerous. I came today to help you check if any of you have been branded with the mark of the vile goddess that murderer serves, you should rest assured that I can easily remove that kind of mark and when it is removed you won't have to worry in being hunted by believers of demon gods."
"The exam will be taken one at a time in particular, I will start with the Yates family member. Follow us to that corner of the room, Dimas turns on the isolation matrix and keep an eye on the other three."
Two other priests followed their leader to the corner Torris was supposed to go, when everyone was in that part of the room the priest who stayed behind who must have been named Dimas turned on the matrix. That corner of the room was covered by several layers of dark walls, my eyes are not able to see through these barriers I have no idea what is going on inside.
The interview must have lasted almost an hour and during that time my attention was focused on Dimas who was watching us, he is obviously younger than his leader as his core is a faint green color and he is quite nervous. This must be one of the first difficult missions of this priest, he is holding his staff very tightly and his eyes are running around the whole room showing his nervousness and panic, I think if I get up quickly, he would attack me with a shower of fire, but even if this sena would be funny to a spectator I have no interest in being the target of a green core mage's magic.
When the barriers broke down, I could see that Torris' aura was weak and he was a little pale, but I couldn't see a visible bruise on him. It seems that this priest doesn't have a very violent method or Torris's face wouldn't be so neutral, if it weren't for the tiredness that appears in his body, Torris would be completely unharmed.
After Torris's turn it was Raziel's turn and then it was Alex, I ended up being the last one to pass the priest's exam, Raziel and Alex came out in the same state as Torris before. It seems that this exam is being much more relaxed than the teacher warned us yesterday, it seems that we were lucky that the priest who leads this team seems to be a very patient person and must have chosen a calm method to interrogate us in this routine exam.
It didn't take long for me to be sitting in an uncomfortable chair with a priest to my right and one to my left, ready to immobilize me the leader I thought must be very friendly is looking at me with a deadly gaze. Where has the polite and friendly priest gone from before?"
Even when he opened his mouth to talk to me his voices hostility and combine that with the lack of light in this dark room, I really feel like I'm being interrogated like a criminal, they didn't even try to pretend this was an exam.
"My name is Cain; I am high priest of the church of the goddess Melici. I will record our conversation today.
Priest Cain was holding a magic tool that must be able to record our conversation or this is just an interrogation technique.
"Your name is Ulric Fenris, it's the first time I've seen that last name so I'll assume you must be the first generation to be born with that last name. From your companions' report, you started running for your lives until you bumped into Miss Pruma's group, but I realized something after hearing this story from your friends, neither one of them took credit for discovering the presence of your stalker or told them what prompted them to start running."
"I believe you should be responsible for your party to start running from the demonic shadow, now will you tell me how you noticed the presence of an assassin who is much higher than your level and has the shadow element?"
I'm pretty screwed up and I'm pretty sure I was this bastard's target the moment he walked into the room. But the problem is he's targeting me because I don't have a family protecting me or because he noticed I was the leader of the team?
I will have to be very careful with my next words.
