chapter 50
50 – Healing the Possessed One (1)
Bakbakbakbak
A riverside located in the corner of the academy.
After finishing all of today’s classes, I was catching fish from the riverside in an invisible state and putting them into the subspace.
River. It refers to a large river, and refers to fresh water that is composed of low-salinity water.
Numerous cities in the history of the earth have developed around these rivers, so you can easily find cities along the rivers as well.
The city of Calandra was similarly formed along a large river.
And since this Calandra Academy where I am located is located inside Calandra, a part of it faces the river.
It is probably a setting made to allow special events such as water races to take place in [Deus Ex Machina].
After that, it becomes one of the routes used when followers of ‘Chaos’ attack the academy, but at this point it is protected by a special magic installed by the president and boasts extreme security.
Anyway, the reason why I came all the way to a place like this, holding the ‘Poseidon’s fork’ and doing stupid things that would be embarrassing if I showed it to others, even though the class was over and the sun was going down, simply put, was because of the current state of my alter ego.
Capernaum is no longer necessary to stay as long as Mata is obtained.
I needed to leave as quickly as possible, as long as I didn’t know what the Church of Baal would do to me or to Capernaum.
The problem is the huge group of people waiting behind Mata.
I couldn’t accept everything, but it bothered me to just abandon it and leave.
Are you betraying the expectations of those who waited in line to meet you for a long time?
No matter how unimportant the extras were, it was hard on my conscience.
It was the first time in my life that I had received special favors from so many people, so I didn’t want to leave all the more.
So the conclusion I chose was…… Those who were to follow were to follow.
I never thought that such an outrageous procession would be born.
Even if you look at the crowd with eyes, it seems that there are far more than 100 people.
It is clear that for a commoner in this medieval fantasy era to abandon the place where he lived and leave, it requires great determination.
You’re trying to follow me like that.
The unique emotion that resonated in the heart was intricate.
…… That is a brief moment in the beginning.
These.
They left without taking any measures for issues such as food.
I am dumbfounded.
No, they didn’t bring any food, and they followed the vague idea of how I might solve the problem.
I wanted to just throw it away and go, but… Didn’t they leave their home and leave in order to see me?
And above all, my ‘gift’.
If the hypothesis I made about my ‘gift’ is correct, then I must not lose their trust. Rather than trust, I guess faith is the right word.
Anyway, the way I found it was to get it “Directly”.
If you see a stream or river on the way, you have mobilized ‘Poseidon’s fork’ and experienced Simon to procure enough food to feed them, but you have reached the limit.
In normal cases, when so many residents leave, the city’s leaders will try to stop it.
But perhaps because he was worried about what the Church of Baal would do because of what I had done, the lord just watched us leave. Considering the notoriety of the Baal Church, it would be better for the residents to go to other areas and spread the news more than the lord might commit the complete annihilation of the city.
Outrageous workforce and population. As Gennesaret is also an area of abundance that feeds the empire, it will accept many people as it has plenty of food.
As such, there is a way to deal with them once we reach the next city.
It wasn’t long before we entered the first city of Gennesaret, our next destination.
The situation reached its limit just a little while ago.
There were no streams or rivers around, not even grass roots to dig up.
Inevitably, it became a funny situation where my body caught a fish.
…… I’m catching fish for my alter ego… Wasn’t this before I saw it?
I caught as many fish living in the river as I needed and pushed them into the subspace, then I quickly escaped the riverside and canceled the invisibility.
…… If anyone sees it, it really doesn’t look like it.
An academy student is catching fish by the river.
It’s not just a hobby with a fishing rod, it’s a luxurious fishing business with all the artifacts.
But since I’ve done all the work for today, let’s go back to the dorm room.
What kind of food did Io prepare for you today?
The moment I moved so excitedly.
“Luke!”
A familiar voice calling me.
When I turned my head, I saw Andre running towards me waving at me from afar.
“Andre?”
“Luke! It just worked!”
Good?
What is it?
“I need that skill of yours.”
Andre, rushing to me, brought up her words.
My skills?
“I told you before. This time, I joined the occult research club.”
The first month after the start of the academy semester is the club support period.
New students apply for the club they wish to join, take the test prepared for each club, and enter when they are qualified.
Andre had said that she had been accepted into a occult club a few days ago.
The club is similar to the club in the previous district, and refers to a group where students gather and work on a specific topic. ‘Sorority’, such as ‘Garot’ mentioned by Juda Iscariot, is also a type of club.
Prestigious clubs such as ‘Sorority’ are places that many students covet to join because they allow students to gain valuable connections with high-ranking officials.
So, it was also used by two goblin new female students who were scheduled to enter ‘Garot’ to call Amy and shame her.
Although Amy seems to have just gone out to make friends.
But thanks to them, I was able to get closer to Dia.
Come to think of it, what are they like now?
Juda Iscariot is a pretty scary woman…… Something pitiful
Oops. I was thinking completely different things in my stream of consciousness.
“Mystical Research Club. Yes, remember Investigate spiritual phenomena, consider them to have principles or rules, and use them… Did you do it?”
“Yes! Exactly! You remembered, Luke!”
“… So? Where do you need my help?”
I’m not asking you to join the club either. I mean, there’s a place I’m thinking of going into.
“That…… The seniors gave me an assignment to commemorate joining the club.”
A mission? Oh, come to think of it, there were clubs like that.
In [Deus Ex Machina], A mission that plays a role similar to a quest.
When I joined the club, it felt like a mission given by senior students.
It’s like a declaration ceremony to be properly accepted into that group.
“But the problem is that the contents of the mission…… It’s about uncovering one of the mysteries of the academy magic hall in the middle of the night.”
Mystery of the Academy?
In the middle of the night?
…… Are you talking about that event?
I was thinking of triggering that later when the time is right….
“Going to the Magic Hall in the middle of the night! Seniors don’t even help! Isn’t this too much!”
Academy Madokan is a mysterious space filled with numerous supernatural powers.
For those who don’t know well, it must be a very scary and unknown place.
And Andre this guy.
Contrary to what he looks like, he was a very timid guy.
It was like that in [Deus Ex Machina] As well.
Why did you go to a place like a occult study club when you were scared?
“That, so… I just thought of you! You who have certain skills and are reliable!”
Do you think of me as a reliable friend?
Thank you for this.
“Um… ….”
“Please! Help! I can’t go alone without you!”
If the mystery that Andre needs to find is the hidden piece I’m trying to get, then I have to go with him.
“Good.”
“Me, really?”
“Yes. Do you think it will be fun? It’s a magic hall in the middle of the night. Let’s go somewhere.”
I think it would be nice to go with Sunny too.
“Should I ask Sunny to go with me?”
“Ah… I met Sunny earlier and she asked and she said no.”
I’m sure Sunny would be bothered by things like this.
“Ouch.”
Andre suddenly sat down, grabbing his ankle.
“… Are you standing?”
I could see Sunny behind him.
“Me too. Shall we go.”
“… What? When I asked earlier, he said he would not go… Ouch. It hurts! Stop!”
“Me too. I’m going.”
“Okay, okay! Come with me!”
“Why don’t you go see the three of us gathered like this right now?”
The sun is setting right now.
“Now?”
“Why? Scared?”
“Andre. Coward.”
“Oh, no, that’s not the case, but it was so sudden. Lol.”
“The sooner you do it, the faster you do it, won’t your club seniors like it? Let’s go right away.”
“Ugh, yes.”
An exploration of the magic hall during the night with Sunny and Andre.
It’s an unexpected journey, but… Are you looking forward to this?
