"…So, unlike magical power or magical power, which are the innate abilities of the chosen ones, divine power is an energy that exists fundamentally in the body of all humans, God's creatures. However, because of that, it is quite difficult to train to the point where it can be used in practise."
Professor Grieber Ranfeld swallowed the anger boiling from within and continued.
The class atmosphere was shit no matter how good it was.
In the first place, not even the number of people is small, and the majority of those who don't even listen to him.
Originally, those who would have worked hard to catch his eye and get a good evaluation are now ignoring him casually.
'…Even if that bastard wasn't just a devil worshipper.'
He gritted his teeth, recalling the Marquis of Riverback in his mind.
Since he was a young and prosperous businessman, I thought he would be able to suck on sweet water anywhere, but I didn't expect him to be such an empty gangjeong.
okay. An empty gangjeong.
[[[[Gangjeong is a hangwa (traditional Korean confection) made with glutinous rice flour. It is a deep-fried "rice puff"]]]
It didn't matter much to Griever whether he was a devil worshipper or not.
It only matters whether it is a target that can benefit you or not.
In that sense.
"Hey, I have a question for you."
This guy who raised his hand and asked questions calmly, from Griver's point of view, it would not be cool even if he changed his drink.
Dowd Campbell.
This is the guy who took his emergency tools and spread the barrier during the demonic disturbance before.
"Then what should I do to quickly increase the total amount of divine power and the proficiency of divine protection?
"
"…The best way to increase divine power is to raise your proficiency by actually using it."
He replied in a firm voice.
"Don't ask for the obvious. That's a very low-level question for a student of Elfante."
"Yes. sorry."
"To devote to training. I am ashamed of all who listen."
He used such violent language on purpose to put down the other person, but the guy who heard it was just laughing with no sign of anger.
However.
Those eyes weren't smiling at all.
"…"
Feeling goosebumps running down his spine, Griver tried to look away from him.
Because there was an alien feeling that was clearly conveyed from that side.
"…Today's lesson ends with this."
So I don't even want to run into that guy for a long time. It must have been in that context that he ended class a little earlier than usual.
Walking all the way down the hallway, Griever remembered the guy he had just seen called Daud.
'…I mean he resembles him.'
A human who has spoken once through the Marquis of Riverback.
A strange guy who called himself a pioneer.
I've never seen a face or anything, but I remember the creepy impression I felt there.
It was such an ominous feeling that it could be said to be the same as the sense of alienation I felt from him now.
It's hard to believe that the two are the same person.
'Well, either way, we won't be able to meet each other in the future.'
In his office, he thought of it with a smile.
The letter he pulled out from the compartment under the desk was filled with information he would 'sell'.
All of them are high-level information and confidential information he obtained while continuing his teaching position at the academy.
'Because the empire always has many enemies.'
It is enough to sell this as quickly as possible and disappear as it is.
Someone could die from this, and it could cause enormous damage. he didn't know
However.
"Yes, what. I'm sorry while you were drawing a happy future."
Suddenly, a voice came from close by.
At the same time, I felt a strong shock through the back of my head.
"Isn't it too unconscionable to choose only bad things and only wish for yourself to be safe?
"
It's a familiar voice.
Because he was the person who had been facing him until just now.
Dowd Campbell. And it was Princess Tristan who was trampling on his collapsed body.
"…You guys, what are you doing! What a doggie-like baron bastard! "
It was force majeure that the sentence ended grotesquely.
Elnor's kick immediately dislocated his arm.
"…Hey, Elnor. It was too radical from the start."
Daud said that in a timid voice, but Elnor only shrugged.
"It was just a little caress."
"…"
a little?
this?
Such a gaze flew to Elnor, but she calmly returned the answer without blinking an eye.
"Didn't I insult you?
"
"…"
"It's a lot of patience."
"…Well, whatever."
After clearing his throat a few times, Daoud took out the Bible from his arms.
This textbook is a collection of basic blessings commonly given to new students of the School of Divinity.
"…Wait a minute, so…"
And Daoud, who had been reading it for a long time with frowning eyes, finally stuttered something outside.
It was an awkward prayer.
"- so warmth will dwell in you. Heal."
Then, the loosely woven white holy power landed on his arm.
"…Um, something like this. I got the hang of it."
"…"
Griever looked at Dawood, who spoke proudly with a puzzled expression.
This is a poor level of blessing even for a freshman, so what on earth are you proud of?
Of course, as soon as he showed that expression on his face, Elnor's kicked his other arm again.
"Uh oh oh oh oh-!
"
"…Hey, Elnor. I told you earlier that you have to go slowly."
"Isn't this slow enough?
"
"…"
"Hmm. Strange. Given that I was educated in the ducal family, when interrogating an enemy, I must start by peeling off the skin-"
"You guys! What do you want, what do you want, ah! "
When Griever said that through tears, Dawood answered with another clearing of his throat.
"I already know you, so let's go easily with each other. Did you try to sell this to someone in the academy? "
"…"
Even in the intense pain that came to him, Grievor stopped moving for a moment.
I don't know what else, but this was the part he couldn't concede.
The existence of a nephew planted by a pioneer who is now hiding inside the academy.
Because I know that if I reveal this, he too will never be safe.
"…I don't know what you're talking about."
This time, I couldn't even finish the sentence and my left leg was shattered.
Daoud seemed to have given up now, but he just held his head and sighed.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you, so please-! "
In the end, he vomited out the names of the people involved while shedding tears and saliva.
Beside him, Daoud was writing down all of them while saying hmm, hmm.
"Is this all?
"
"All, that's all…! Please, call a doctor…! "
Griever begged in a completely hoarse voice.
'But this monster is a little more…!
'
It was my intention to cling to this man who at least stopped him rather than to the princess who broke his limbs like sorghum cans whenever he did anything next to him.
However, at this, Daoud laughed and shook his head.
"Ah, what kind of doctor are you going to? I will treat you."
"…"
"Because I am an aspiring student of the Divine Faculty. You should know how to use a blessing."
You can't be a low-level student who doesn't fit for Elfante. Yes?
After adding that with a grin, Daud stuttered again and recited the prayer.
Thanks to the disastrous use of divine power and the level of divine protection, it took a long time for all of the broken limbs to recover.
"Heo-euk… hee-euk…"
Griever gasped and barely got up from his seat.
His whole body was wet with a cold sweat, but he was finally able to move his limbs.
Griever barely stood up and gnashed his teeth inwardly.
'…I'll kill you bastards…!
'
However, right now there is no way to do it.
It would be right to get away from this place and then somehow prepare a defence and kill these two bastards.
"…Well, then now. Has it come to this? "
When he said that with a servile smile, Daoud smiled and nodded.
"Yes. For now."
right.
Griver grinned inwardly and stumbled back.
I'll definitely regret letting him out here…
-!
"Uh oh oh oh-!
"
Griever, who was about to leave the room, fell to the floor again.
Probably because Princess Tristan broke his right leg again from behind.
Griever screamed as he crawled across the floor.
"Why, why are you doing this! I told you everything! "
"No, that's it."
While Griever was crawling like that, Daud came up to him again and cast a blessing. It was a blessing of healing that seemed to have gained a little more proficiency than before.
While doing that, Griever's eyes met Daud's eyes.
"…"
Thanks to.
Grievor knew he was seriously misunderstanding something.
So.
I thought this man would be better than Princess Tristan, at least.
"You said it before. The best way to master Divine Power and Protection is to continue using it in real combat."
That sense of alienation is felt again.
A terribly creepy sensation felt in the Precursor.
"There are people like you who don't seem to feel guilty no matter how much they bully you. You can't miss such a good training method. is not it? "
The fear felt from those who treat the other person only as a 'means' to an end, not as 'humans'.
"Beginner Protection is usually focused on protecting and healing the other person. So."
This man, now.
"Will you keep hurting me?
"
You don't even see him as the same person he is now!
"So I practise."
On Griever's bluish face, the sentence Dawood spat out with a smile fell.
soon after again.
The sound of someone's bones breaking and screams echoed through the office.
●
Griever, who had completely lost his mind, was handed over to the Internal Knights. You'll probably get a decent treatment there.
And on the way out, I scan the messes that are drooping in front of my eyes.
＜System Message＞
[Check the rapid mastery of 'Beginner Protection'. ]
['Attribute: Divine Power Operation' is open! ]
＜System Message＞
[The epic item 'Soul Linker' is affected by your divine power! ]
＜System Message＞
[ Check the current condition of the target 'Elnor'. ]
[The unique debuff 'Madness' has been improved under your influence. ]
Maybe the saying "one stone kills three birds" is there for a time like this.
This is what I got from beating and treating human trash that I couldn't even relate to. It's a business that has enough leftovers.
First of all, it is an encouraging achievement to obtain the most important divine power management characteristic.
Now, with this, I also gained one of the abilities that can be operated independently, such as magical power or magical power.
Of course, it is at a feeble level now, but the difference between 0 and 1 is literally the level of heaven and earth.
'…Now this is it.'
I look at the amulet worn on my wrist.
Until now, self-growth was impossible, but now that I have the characteristic of using divine power, I can awaken this inner soul by myself.
"…Have you relieved your stress?
"
And finally this guy.
Elnor's mental management is always important.
I need your help unconditionally for the upcoming midterm exam.
"Well."
Elnorre replied with an expressionless expression that somehow seemed much more refreshing than usual.
I also go out with this person often, so I can read the atmosphere even though he is expressionless. I mean it's amazing
"…Is there something troubling you?
"
That's why I can say things like this.
It looks refreshing, but somehow it looks shady. like there is anxiety.
"…"
Indeed, upon hearing that, Elnor swallowed for a moment instead of denying it.
Like it's really hard to get out.
"…Dawud."
"Yes."
"I heard you met Archduke Tristan."
Not my father, but Archduke Tristan.
It must be a title that clearly reveals the father-daughter relationship.
While smiling wryly inside, Elnor struggled to continue his words.
"Didn't you do something bad?
"
"Is it a bad thing?
"
"If that person is that person, he will undoubtedly find it difficult for me to interact with someone."
Oh, not really.
Even in terms of the setup, Gideon would have rejected that from long ago.
Thanks to that, Elnor's human relationships are extremely narrow than expected. Unless it's about Beatrix, who's been with her for 10 years.
'…Those are all because of circumstances.'
I can't explain it here.
That's because it's a story that goes back to the main scenario later.
"I didn't really do anything like that. Although it was a little scary."
uh. Had he failed to cheat, he could have died on the spot.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
"Anyway, what? I solved it somehow. I will probably continue to see you in the future."
"…Did you keep seeing each other?
"
When Elnorre asked that question, he answered with a shrug.
"Yes, what. He is an important person to me too."
"…important, huh? to you? is that human? why? "
Elnor said in an uncharacteristically dumbfounded voice.
uh. Isn't that obvious?
There are a lot of things to suck from that side with the guidance skill, and he is a person with a high proportion in the main scenario.
And, above all.
"Because I have a relationship with you. They are family."
After all, this person is the most important.
In order to get to the ending well, isn't it the most important thing to control this person who is the final boss?
And Elnor, who listened to me.
My face turned red.
"…"
Rub your eyes for a moment.
'…does your face get red?
'
Who is this?
Who do you think would win in an expressionless fight with this mokseok?
"You, that means, so…"
Elnor struggled.
"It's my family, and I think I'll see it from now on, so the word that I think it's important is that…"
Then, keep your mouth shut.
It seems that he will not be able to get the next words out of his own mouth.
"…Couldn't you set the mood and tell me a little about this? It's a little hard to react when you say it like that out of the blue."
"…"
I don't know what.
[The favorability level of the target 'Elnor Elinalize La Tristan' changes! ]
[The affinity level has been upgraded to 'friendship level 2'! ]
[ Receiveable rewards are added! ]
I know I must have said something.
uh.
●
"Bocchan, did you have an accident again?
"
"…Yes?
"
When I returned to the inn, Hermann was looking at me with a worried expression on his face.
Why is this person like this again?
"I'm saying this as an experience of serving the young master for a long time, and I feel like I've set fire to someone's heart somewhere without any awareness."
"…"
"It has been like that ever since. Even now, in Baron Campbell's territory, there are many women who shed tears thinking of you, Bocchan…"
"…don't say nonsense."
You're talking about me like a natural flirt.
pity people.
"…I do not know. Is it because such a clever young master really doesn't know, well for this old man…"
I heard Herman muttering something behind my back, but I ignored it and quickly entered my room.
I have something to check.
[ Soul Linker ] [ Exclusive Equipment ]
[ Enchantment: Epic ] [ 'Hero's Fragment' fusion]
[ This is an equipment possessed by a great spirit. You can awaken the consciousness of the spirit by increasing the synchronisation rate. ]
[ Due to the influence of the great soul, it always retains magical power. ]
[ Current synchronisation rate: 10% ]
[ You can open the 1st stage consciousness of the soul! ]
[Do you want to proceed with the opening? ] [Y/N]
"…after."
The reason why the ghost of Gregory's coffin is recognised by users as an item that needs to be eaten especially quickly is because most of the souls that pop out when enchanted with other items are 'great figures' that can grow the player with a tremendous amount of enhancement.
The rating is not Epic for nothing.
the problem is.
'…That's random.'
There is no doubt that there will be a great person who will remain as a thought body in the world behind the scenes, but who the target will be is randomly assigned each round.
So, I hope that the best person for me will come out here.
There are more crazy people than I thought, such as 'The Murderer of the Mist Forest' and 'The Giant Eater'.
'…It's certain that he's not an ordinary guy even among great men.'
As soon as I woke up a little bit, events related to Elijah and the Heretic Interrogation opened simultaneously.
It is undoubtedly an exceptional case.
'Please, nice guy, please nice guy…!
'
Thinking so, I pressed the Y button on the status window.
Then, a huge energy is formed on the amulet. Between the spirits creeping up slowly, a 'image' comes to mind.
battlefield of dawn. Dawning between them. A worn-out flag and the knight carrying it.
His armour was broken and his whole body was damaged, but he carried it to the end and continued forward.
indomitable.
is the first word that comes to mind
"…!
"
It's a look I know.
'…this.'
perhaps.
It might be bigger than I thought.
As I thought so, a spiritual body suddenly jumped out in front of me.
