The Saint’s Weekend (2)

1.

It was the weekend at the Imperial Academy.

Due to the continuous incidents, this was the first proper weekend I was having.

On weekends, after the morning service, the rest of the time was free.

Today, I planned to look around the Imperial Academy.

Although spending the whole day practicing swordsmanship was also good.

Since I would be living here for the next four years, it was necessary to understand the facilities.

“Ugh… Ugh…!”

Both arms.

Both legs.

I stretched out my limbs and yawned refreshingly.

“Ack…!”

I felt my calf muscles cramping, and before I could prepare myself, I got a cramp in my calf.

I massaged my calf with Divinity.

The tightly knotted muscles loosened.

“It’s so convenient.”

Would I be punished by the Celestial God for saying this?

“But it’s true.”

Divinity is convenient in many ways.

Like just now, when loosening tight muscles, massaging with Divinity can relieve the tension. And when warming up cold black tea, I can use the heat of Divinity.

I groggily got out of bed.

I threw off my pajamas and walked to the closet.

I opened the closet.

“Which one should I wear today?”

I pondered, but all the clothes in the closet looked exactly the same. Except for the Nun’s Habit, there were no other outfits for going out.

Before getting dressed, I opened the drawer below the closet.

The drawer was colorful.

All underwear.

It didn’t make sense.

Since I was going to wear clothes anyway, did the underwear need to be so fancy?

When I asked my assigned maids this question, they said that pretty underwear boosted a woman’s confidence or something.

I chose a light blue set of underwear.

Since I only wore pajamas to sleep, I could put it on right away.

I put on the panties.

I put on the bra.

I adjusted my breasts that bulged out over the bra.

Finally, I put on the Nun’s Habit.

This time, I went to the mirror.

Before putting on the veil, I combed my hair.

As the Imperial Academy life began in earnest, I had professional maids to take care of me. All these morning preparations were their job, but I told them to rest on the weekends.

This was also a hard-won agreement.

At first, they said it was impossible and insisted on taking care of me all week long.

‘I don’t want you all to suffer because of me. Even though taking care of me is your job, please rest when you can. I want you all to be healthy and happy.’

The maids covered their mouths and were moved.

That’s how I managed to get my weekend freedom.

Of course, only on Saturday.

They wouldn’t allow two days.

“Sigh…”

That’s why I couldn’t go to swordsmanship training in the morning.

Having finished getting ready, I left the room to attend the morning service.

“Good morning, Saintess.”

Rael was standing in front of the door as if it were natural.

“When did you get here?”

“I just arrived. Just in time for the morning service.”

Liar.

Rael had been waiting in front of the door for two hours.

I felt his presence when I was sleeping.

How admirable.

I decided to pretend I didn’t know.

Instead, I smiled and expressed my gratitude.

“Thank you always.”

Rael, who had been staring blankly at my face for a moment, hurriedly lowered his head and said.

“…I’m just doing what I have to do.”

You little rascal.

So shy.

2.

The Imperial Academy is like a large city.

It is divided into three areas.

The first is Minerva Town.

A space for learning.

There is the central hall, three department buildings, and three dormitories.

Minerva Town occupies only a small part of the Imperial Academy.

Ponika Town to the east.

Britia Town to the west.

These two places are formed on the scale of small towns.

When people think of the Imperial Academy, they usually only think of Minerva Town, but in reality, the Imperial Academy includes all three towns.

But no one really bothers to distinguish them.

‘Imperial Academy = Minerva Town’ is the common usage.

After the morning service, I got into the carriage.

My destination was Ponika Town to the east.

There, there is a huge shopping street called Mason Street.

Blacksmiths, jewelers, confectioners, brewers, and artisans from various fields gather there.

Today, I was planning to go to Mason Street to visit the newly opened weapon shop.

I happened to hear about it.

They say they have a variety of high-quality weapons.

I like Greatswords, but I also like other weapons.

When I look at weapons, I lose track of time.

In the past, I would often go to a weapon shop to get some fresh air and end up spending five hours just looking at weapons.

-Clunk

The carriage started moving.

For reference, Rael was driving the carriage.

I looked out the window.

We were driving on the main road of Minerva Town.

It was peaceful.

The students were chatting and laughing.

It was hard to believe that such a thing had happened just a few days ago.

“Huh?”

While looking at the students on the street, I saw a familiar face.

A man with healthy, tanned skin, Hoth.

Hoth was surrounded by many students.

“Oh… did he make so many friends already?”

Well.

He’s not a bad guy.

He’s a good guy, even if he’s a bit of an idiot sometimes.

“But most of them are female students.”

I thought he was just a fool who only knew swordsmanship.

He’s still a man, after all.

He has women on both sides of him.

“Huh? He’s running?”

Hoth, who was surrounded by female students, suddenly started running.

It seemed like he had remembered something urgent.

3.

Aaaah!

Hoth roared inwardly.

It’s so annoying.

Wherever I go, people flock to me.

Hoth had become a hero who protected the Imperial Academy.

He defeated a Demon in the entrance exam, and he defeated a Demon at the entrance ceremony as well.

The result of defeating Demons twice all by himself.

I didn’t defeat them…!

The real hero is someone else.

The Saintess, Elia.

That petite girl single-handedly sliced up the Demons.

I tried to honestly say that I didn’t defeat them, but it was already too late. Hoth’s name had spread throughout the Imperial Academy, and a large group of people praised him as a hero.

“It’s the hero!”

“Hoth! You’re so cool!”

No…….

It wasn’t me…….

It was no use even if I told the CEO.

My Hyung told me not to say anything because it would be annoying.

Hoth told the CEO that it was the Saintess who defeated the Demons, not him.

But.

‘Haha, it seems the Saintess helped Hoth from the side.’

That was the reaction.

It’s understandable that they wouldn’t believe it.

Who would think that the Saintess defeated the Demons all by herself?

“I guess going to Ponika Town is out of the question.”

Hoth was planning to go to Ponika Town for the weekend. He was planning to explore the dessert shops on Mason Street.

Meat, only meat!

He might seem like he would shout that, but Hoth’s favorite thing is sweet desserts.

He likes meat that bursts with juice, but he likes eating macarons with concentrated sweetness even more. He can sit down and eat 30 of them.

“It’s a shame, but I can’t cause trouble for other people.”

Even now, dozens of people flock to me whenever I walk down the street, so how much more crowded would it be if I went to Ponika Town?

I should go to Ponika Town after this heat cools down a bit.

“I wonder what my Hyung is doing?”

I want to spar with my Hyung at least once.

I know the result is obvious.

But facing that strength directly would be a good experience as a warrior.

To become stronger, competing with a warrior stronger than oneself is one way.

“If possible, I’d like to learn swordsmanship too.”

It’s obvious, but I entered the Imperial Academy to learn swordsmanship.

I’ve been taking classes for the past week.

Not all professors, but there was definitely something to learn from the professors.

However.

Hoth felt that none of the professors at the Imperial Academy were as good as the Saintess. At least, they would have to bring in the chief warriors of the Southern Kingdom to be on par.

“Come to think of it, she even used our family’s swordsmanship…”

It’s still amazing.

She picked up a hand axe and knew how to use the Ragtree family’s swordsmanship.

And it wasn’t just a beginner’s imitation, but she used it as if she had completely mastered it.

Did she learn the swordsmanship just by watching it for a moment?

Then that’s an incredible talent.

Copying swordsmanship perfectly just by watching it.

Shouldn’t she be walking the path of a Sword Saint instead of a priest?

From the perspective of someone who is not a believer in the Celestial God Church, Hoth felt that Elia’s talent was a waste. If she honed that talent, she could become a Sword Saint who has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

“What a waste, what a waste.”

Hoth grabbed his sword and headed to the Theology department dormitory to ask Elia for a spar.

He went to the back of the Theology department dormitory through the forest.

Elia had told him to come to the back and throw stones at the window when he had something he wanted to ask about swordsmanship.

Just as he was about to pick up a stone to throw.

“Huh? You are?”

He suddenly saw a woman hiding in the bushes.

A woman with silver hair and a cold impression.

A classmate who takes Swordsmanship department classes together, Yuriel.

The two made eye contact.

“What are you doing here?”

“Ah…”

Yuriel, who was about to say something, closed her mouth and got up from the bushes.

“Hey, are you ignoring me?”

Yuriel quickly left the spot.

“Hmph, what a cold woman.”

Whatever.

Hoth threw a small stone at the window.

He threw stones for an hour, but there was no response.

In the end, he returned to the dormitory feeling dejected.
