The Academy’s Genius Magic Swordsman

Orthodox Church of the Sun God, Branch of the Academy.

In a dormitory room of an orthodox church building, which is also used as a dormitory for students of the academy’s theology department, the silver-haired saintess has been praying to Ayla, the sun god, with her hands together since dawn.

“Compassionate Sun God, Abundant Earth Mother, thank you for giving us a daily life today… .”

Since I became a saint, I have prayed at dawn every day except for unavoidable circumstances.

That earnestness and faith were the source of her mighty divinity.

At first, I didn’t pray for something like faith in Ayla, the sun god.

This is because, even after Claire was taken away from Larapria Church, she did not believe in God and lived as an atheist for many years.

When she was young, she grew up as the only daughter of a peddler’s couple, so of course she lived a life far from faith.

After his parents were killed by bandits who suddenly attacked a peddler’s wagon, he even blamed God.

If he was going to give himself divinity, he’d rather do it sooner.

If that was the case, the tragedy could have been prevented somehow before my parents passed away.

What kind of joke was it that he only gave the divinity after the parents who were trying to protect him and the mercenaries he had hired as escorts all died?

Feeling as if she would not allow herself to live a life other than living as a saint, Claire would fall asleep exhausted after blaming God for days and days.

It was after meeting Willia, an escort knight, that she began to actively pray to God in earnest.

A girl of her own age who, like herself, hated murder and kidnapping, and was able to communicate and understand them often as a saintess and escort knight.

It was only after meeting Willia that Claire began to think about how she could use her powers.

With the power of fate and divine power she had, and the power and power of action that Willia possessed, she thought that they would be able to take care of the rebellious criminal organizations they hated so much with their own hands.

In a way, it was only natural that he would pair up with Willia, who had come up with a similar idea at the right time.

The days when he secretly leaves the church at night with his escort, destroys the criminal organization, and returns to the church before dawn.

With only the power of divinity and destiny given to him, it was absolutely impossible.

Dissolving a rebellious group that goes against her beliefs overnight, escaping from the heavily guarded church at dawn and returning secretly.

And all of that, even going undetected by anyone.

It was around then that she began to have faith in the true sense of the word.

The more divinity and power one could handle through faith, the more it was possible to eliminate a criminal organization using much less fate.

In that case, I could have disposed of other criminals with my spare time.

Her faith, which she started cultivating purely out of necessity, has now become her strongest weapon.

If you pray for dawn in this way, you can sometimes download a short revelation from Ayla, the sun god.

“… With the divinity of Armaine Rosehill and Preseria, the first saints, this land will shine brightly today with the power of the sun god.”

After completing the dawn prayer, Saint Clare focused her senses for a moment without loosening her palms at the strange energy that resonated in her head.

Because I knew that this sensation was a sign of a ‘revelation’ from Ayla, the sun god.

Receiving the revelation is the role of the saintess, and the moment she ignores the revelation, the sun god urges her on throughout the day.

As Claire braced herself and focused on the stream of visions, a few words began to pop into her head.

“Demon God, Hero, Inheritance… .」

At first glance, it might seem like a simple list of words, but Claire knew that this was about preparing for the upcoming war against the demons.

Just as the saints of previous generations had received the same revelation, the appearance of a saint meant the same as the birth of a hero.

In addition, it also meant that the time for demons to covet human territory and invade was approaching.

So, he was able to fully infer the content of the revelation that was suddenly given to him.

I will appoint a hero to fight against the demon, so let him succeed the hero and put him to sleep until the next demon appears.

That was the task of subjugating demons that the empire had been doing for thousands of years.

In Saint Clare’s situation, it was only that she thought that something had finally come.

‘… This semester will be the last time I attend the academy.’

If she appointed a hero to subdue the demon god Cardia, she, as a saint, had the duty to support him and accompany him on the journey, so this year would be the last time she wasted her time at the academy.

In fact, I had no intention of staying this long.

It was just that I had entered undercover to search for the traces of the missing people who were disappearing towards the academy, and as soon as I achieved my goal, I was planning to go around the empire and do ‘purification’ as I always did with Willia.

However, he builds a relationship with an unexpected person named Conrad Perdalos, and while doing various activities with him, he shares a lot of affection.

Through the hunting festival, the northern monster territory battle, and activities in the forgotten village, as a result, he was able to use his power in a more valuable place.

It was a short time, but she thought it was enough leisure time.

Coincidentally, Conrad, the person Claire feels closest to, was also supposed to graduate after this semester, so thinking about that part, it wasn’t too bad.

I don’t know who it will be, but when I’m summarizing the number of people in the subjugation party who will be appointed as a hero, I’d recommend Conrad Perdalos.

After the summer vacation is over, his magical culture, which has reached the 8th circle without knowing it, will be of great help in subjugating demons.

If that happens, you will be able to reduce the regret of leaving the academy by half, and you will be able to spend a little more time with him who shares your heart.

Of course, she had to ask for permission from the person concerned, but she was allowed enough to have such outrageous imaginations.

As she listened to the revelations that followed with such thoughts in mind, the name of the person to be appointed as the ‘Hero’ soon rang in Claire’s mind.

As soon as she heard that, she couldn’t help but reflexively ask Ayla, the sun god.

“… … Yeah?”

Because the name that came into Claire’s head was someone she knew all too well.

After summer vacation ended, two months had passed since I returned to the academy.

Just as there is a proverb that dawn will come even if you twist a chicken’s neck, time always flows even if I don’t do anything special.

Is it something strange to feel peaceful again after looking around the academy with leisure?

During the past three years, he had gone through so much in this Alexandros Academy that the daily peace he felt these days seemed rather boring.

Let’s sell. Sounds good. Just a few months ago, there was a history of being trapped in the dream of Isabella, the dream queen, so if I did something wrong, I might still be wandering about because of it.

Power was not gathered for show off. To put it mildly, I just built it up until now to protect something.

It was the best thing for me to not have anything to write about.

The four months that passed, including summer vacation, were quite a long time, and of course, many people, including me, had their own changes.

In my case, I reached the 8th circle with the help of the seed of the world tree, and eliminated one of the 4 great demon popes by counteracting the dream queen who was waiting for me in my hometown.

The magic circle is also the 8th circle, so if you use this wand of the world tree with the eyes of the spirit, you can probably use even the 9th circle magic like in your previous life.

Of course, the moment I use it, the burden on my body will increase considerably, and the eyes of the spirits will burst out once or twice as they cannot overcome the subordinates.

In order to get rid of that anxiety factor, of course, the only solution was to go up to Circle 9, but unfortunately, in order to do that, you had to first enter the Demonic Realm and make materials to open Circle 9.

It will probably be a year after Stella is appointed as a hero, and it will be another three years, if not the time when the Demon God Subjugation Corps will officially enter the Demon Realm.

In other words, the current me didn’t have the means to get to the 9th circle right away by any means.

It’s unfortunate, but it’s reality, so I have no choice but to adapt and accept it.

In fact, I wasn’t the only one who achieved remarkable growth.

Among them, the one who achieved the most obvious growth was, of course, the future hero, Stella.

In the evaluation match coming back after summer vacation, Stella reached the level of master.

Swordsmanship was a discipline that had been studied and evolved over a long period of time, so it wasn’t an incredibly rare case even at the student level to become a sword expert.

Being a sword master at the student level was at least hundreds of times more ridiculous than being a sword expert.

Historically, only a handful of people reached the rank of Sword Master at the same age as Stella. And what those who became sword masters at such a young age have in common is probably… .

‘The fact that I was appointed as a hero, or participated in subjugating demons as a hero’s helper.’

In other words, it was as if Stella had been granted the qualifications to become a hero by becoming a sword master.

It was a growth that was expected to some extent, but it was an achievement that could not help but be surprised even if you knew it and saw it.

Because, in her previous life, it would be around next winter, a year from now, that Stella would reach the level of a sword master.

Perhaps risking her life in the territory battle with monsters in the north seemed to have returned to her as a great experience.

For reference, Prince Antonio, who was Stella’s opponent in the evaluation match, didn’t seem to care too much even though he was defeated by her.

In the first place, it was a battle between a sword expert and a sword master, so it would be natural if it was natural.

“I was against the Sword Master, but there is nothing wrong with losing. Rather, I’m just glad that the battle with me helped her grow.”

It was such a natural thing that I had no choice but to admit it, so I replied with a nod to him.

At this time, there were some forces who misinterpreted him, saying that it was a story that a person as big as a prince would lose in an evaluation match to a single student, but it did not deal a big blow to Prince Antonio, who had no interest in the imperial power anyway.

… It seemed that someone else other than Prince Antonio could not accept such slander and was busy moving around.

“This is a really crazy rumor. No one who witnessed the match, how many matches Prince Antonio fought against the sword master, would not be able to spread rumors like this.”

“Because Prince Antonio is a person who draws attention from many directions. I can’t help being attacked like this, Delphina.”

“No, brother. There’s nothing you can’t help. I’m going to overturn this ridiculous public opinion war and not let Prince Antonio’s honor be tarnished.”

“Delphina… ?”

“First of all, I need to secure objective evidence that Prince Antonio’s swordsmanship skills were never lacking. First of all, I collected impressions of the match from the professors who watched the match between Prince Antonio and Stella… .”

Delphina, who was supposed to be busy, but suddenly voluntarily tried to restore Prince Antonio’s honor, was quite strange.

Looking at Delphina, who began to behave as if her family or family had been insulted, it seemed that Prince Antonio’s desperate efforts were not just meaningless.

That’s how the season changes, many people achieve growth, and around the time when more people’s relationships are changing.

“… Mr. Conrad, I have an important story to tell you.”

Saint Claire called me.

As if he had downloaded something, he showed a serious face.
