Chapter 355 The Church Visits
"Well, nothing, I guess?" "Let's focus back on the mass, can we?" "You're quite a devotee to divine teaching, aren't you?" "I may not be a fan of the church entirely, but I am a faithful believer in the goddess." "Why, though?" she asked. "All the things that I have achieved are because of my faith in her. I might not be sitting here with you if it were not for her." "I see. But can you enlighten me? How does the goddess help you?" "You have quite a persistent side to you, huh? I apologize for not responding to that question, but I am keeping it to myself. I hope you understand." "I understand, Raphael." With that, Iris and I shifted our attention to the mass and listened to the sermons of the bishop. ◆◇◆◇◆◇
The mass finished an hour later, and after the mass, we proceeded to the indoor training area for some entertainment. In this place, the White Paladins and the priestess herself would be showing off their combat prowess. The knights engaged in a mock battle with the students, either close combat or magic matches. The crown prince already knew that he would lose, so he did not participate since losing would tarnish the pride of the empire as well as the academy's. Obviously, the elite White Paladins won most of their fights, as they only lost to two students. Of course, those two were me and my sister. "As expected of the children and the Sword Saint," the captain of the White Paladins commented. "You two completely bodied my knights. You two are exceptionally built differently."
"Thank you for the compliments, captain," Big Sis said as she sheathed her blade back after her match with one of the knights. My duel was done minutes ago, so I clapped alongside the other students from the audience. "That was the last of the matches," the captain said. "Everyone, I want you all to focus your attention on the priestess, as she was about to show what the capabilities of a priestess are." Following her words, the students shifted their attention to Eisherz in the front. Everyone's eyes were on her, as they were curious about the capabilities of the priestess other than healing wounds. "Everyone, watch closely," the priestess gently said as she held her ebony staff with both hands. "I am about to unleash one of the powerful spells that the church taught me." After that, the priestess cast an unprecedented magic spell that was never seen by all of us before. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
