“Why are you doing this, Dian? Didn’t you need a holy priest?”

As I caught up with the little priest named Maya, Lormane tilted his head.

” That’s true, but 30 bishops is too much. Just a few rank priests who are proficient in sacred power are enough.”

“Oh, is that so? then… .”

Seeing the young, determined look in Lormane’s eyes, I shook my head seriously.

“I would rather receive a platoon of bishops than receive a secretary general. Instead, just recommend one good priest.”

“Can I have one?”

“More than enough.”

Anyway, as long as you can use divine power, any major injury can be cured. Therefore, there is no need for old men like bishops, and one or two passionate young rank-and-file priests are just right.

“Yes. Then take Maya with you.”

“If you say Maya, are you really talking about that kid, no, the priest?”

I looked at Maya, who was free of my hand and standing next to Lormane. He looks younger than Olysia. Isn’t that a trainee priest, not a rank priest?

“You may be wondering, but it’s okay if it’s Maya. This kid is an oracle priest.”

“Huh? Really?”

There is a saying that an oracle priest is a priest who is directly divined by God and gives him the fate of a priest. I am not sure if this is true, but he has divine power that is far superior to others.

Lormane, who is in front of me now, is also an oracle priest. In the case of Lormane, he is famous for instinctively healing his mother’s torn body part when she was born.

“Because he is still young and has the characteristics of an oracle priest, I am teaching him by his side until he comes of age. So you can trust me and take me.”

That’s right. If just that one little kid stays at our academy, we can run the kids without too much worry.

“If you say so, that’s true, but is it okay? Trust priests are an important asset to the church, so can they be sent to the academy so easily?”

“No problem, Dian. I am the Secretary-General. I am one of the few people who can speak alone with His Holiness. I’ll take care of it myself.”

“Really? good. So what are the Mayan priest’s intentions?”

“If the Secretary General tells me to do so, I will do so.”

Then the priest Maya, who was standing like a wax doll, answered softly. I think he has a very calm personality that is inappropriate for his age. It’s completely different from Olivia.

“Maya. Pack your bags. I have to go to the academy right now.”

“Understood, Secretary General.”

As Maya walked out the door, she turned to Romane and asked.

“Is it really okay? Can he live on his own?”

“All of our priests live together and do most of the household chores on their own, so you don’t have to worry. However, if you are concerned, it would be a good idea to have Dian stay with you where she is staying.”

“I see. Well, there is a maid of similar age to her in this two-story house, so it won’t be a big problem. But how is the dispatch fee paid? .”

“You don’t have to give it. You can send it to volunteer work.”

“Huh? Is that really okay?”

“Of course. I, Romane, am very happy to be able to provide great help to Dian.”

And with that, Lormane held my hand once again.

“Now that you’re closer, we’ll see each other often. I really missed you for 10 years.”

“Okay. I will do that.”

“There are a lot of things that have accumulated and there are a lot of things that Dian needs to release.”

What does this mean again? Of course, it’s not something I suspect, it’s just a longing for me or something like that, but it doesn’t seem to be a metaphorical expression coming from the mouth of a high priest.

After holding my hand and hugging me several times, Lormane released me.

The Maya priest, who had already brought a large bag, was just staring at Lormane’s repeated skinship.

“Hello, Dian! Come visit again next time!”

“Thank you for today, Renee. See you often.”

Finally free from Lormane, I was able to leave the church headquarters with the Maya priest.

“Would you like me to carry your bag, Priest Maya?”

“I will take it.”

He extended his hand, but the Mayan priest flatly refused and pulled the bag he was holding with both hands towards him. Are you a very shy person?

When it became known that I had received a Holy Priesthood from the religious headquarters, professors from the Department of Combat came to the medical center in a hurry.

“Really, Senior Professor?! A divine priest was dispatched?!”

“This is truly ridiculous. How on earth did you do that?”

“What happened to that arrogant religious order all of a sudden? Will the devil be resurrected tomorrow and the continent will be destroyed?”

The reaction of professors in the Department of Combat Studies to this issue is very intense. Was this such a big deal?

“Say hello to everyone. This is Priest Maya, who will look after our Combat Department reliably from now on.”

Anyway, since everyone had gathered unexpectedly, I introduced the Mayan priest.

“Uh, what is it… . You’re a child, right?”

The professors looked blatantly disappointed when they saw Maya’s small and dwarf appearance.

“Hey?! So cute!”

Infiltration professor Lina was just patting her head in confusion, but when the Mayan priest slapped her hand away, she became embarrassed and backed away.

“Lina. You have to be polite to priests. You can’t treat me like a child.”

Psychological warfare professor Felimia adjusted her glasses and pointed out Lina’s mistake.

“Still, he’s too young… . He’s the same height as the colt… .”

Combat riding professor Anna mumbled to herself and glanced at the Mayan priest, while unarmed combat professor Orc Brog scratched his chin.

Geneve, the professor of armed combat, folded his arms and gave me a look that asked for an explanation, and Morton, the professor of general combat who was very dissatisfied with me, was already going through the motions.

“Hmm, but since he is a priest, he can at least provide first aid.”

“Of course. Where is that?”

Survival Professor Waver and Magic Response Professor Orendi, who were inherently optimistic, tried to emphasize the positive aspects.

“Hey, head professor! Will the proper training you mentioned take place like this?”

Combat Equipment Professor Kazadar complained while touching the head of the hammer attached to his waist.

“What if I bring in a trainee priest who can’t even use divine power properly? Huh?”

“I am not a trainee priest.”

Then Maya, who had been quiet until now, opened her mouth.

“Huh? What?”

“I am not a trainee priest.”

Then Maya raised her golden, shining hands above her head. Then suddenly golden rain started pouring down from the sky.

“Wow?!” “No, this is?!”

As the rain of divine power fell, the wilted plants in the flower bed of the infirmary suddenly raised their heads and became stiff.

This is the rain of healing. With its ability to randomly heal all targets within a certain range, most priests would not even dare to use it.

Although I often see Lormane writing, the Mayan priest is not yet an adult. This is really amazing.

Although Lormane assured me not to worry because he was an oracle priest, I never thought it would be to this extent.

I formally introduced the Mayan priest again to the professors.

“I couldn’t tell you before, but this person is an oracle priest. As you know, I have divine powers by nature… .”

“Nice to meet you, priest!”

The professors surrounded the Mayan priest and busily greeted me, pushing me. Haha, what a ridiculous group of guys.

“What, what on earth is happening!”

At that moment, the window on the other side of the main office burst open, and Principal Kirrin stuck out her upper body and took a deep breath.

“Huh? Healing rain?!”

“Principal. Here it is.”

As I waved my hand, Principal Kirrin looked at me and Maya in turn and shouted out a question.

“What kind of situation is this?!”

“The church has brought in a sacred priest. I’m trying to strengthen the medical center.”

“In the church, in the denomination… They said they sent a priest… ?”

“And since you are here as a volunteer, you don’t have to worry about money!”

“Bo, volunteer?!”

I thought as I looked at the confused Principal Kirin.

I will absolutely nail you to that spot, so you should only do what I tell you to do, or rather, what I suggest.

# # # # #

Principal Kirrin was dumbfounded as he looked out the window at the noisy scene in front of the infirmary.

I know that Dian went on a business trip to receive a priest at the church headquarters. It is natural that the medical center will play a very important role in realizing Dian’s plan to improve education in the combat department.

It was not because of any bad intentions that Kirrin sent away the priest of the church.

As risk factors were removed to prevent safety accidents, the frequency of use of the medical center naturally decreased, so the decision was made to save on labor costs.

Holy priests cost an enormous amount of money. It costs so much that you can hire ten doctors with the money it would take for one holy priest. It really costs a lot of money.

But you brought it in for free in the name of volunteer work? What is that person really?

Kirrin knows very well that her father, the head of the clan, betrayed the other dark elves to save the emperor, and thanks to that, she became the principal of the academy, something she undeservedly deserved.

And even though those in power after the war, including the second princess, want to oust him, they cannot do anything about it under the emperor’s orders.

So, everyone even knows that in order to let him walk on his own feet, he nominated Linus, the hero who killed the Demon King, as his successor.

So, Kirin tried hard not to find any fault. It was obvious that if even the slightest problem arose, the imperial castle would bite the bullet.

My father is a very resourceful person who predicted that the Demon King’s army would be defeated and joined the human side in advance, but like the dark elves, he is an extremely cool-headed person.

Kirrin was afraid of her father, and as someone who carried both her father’s expectations and the family’s honor, it was inevitable.

Although the classes in the Combat Department were significantly reduced, the theoretical department was strengthened and sufficient budget was reserved to account for the reduction in functions.

In the situation she was in, Kirin was walking a tightrope based on her own judgment. Anyone in a situation like Kirin would have been helpless.

At the same time, Kirin also hoped that someone would show up and dramatically help her. Either make the situation better or get out of it.

And then, like a miracle, Dian appeared.

‘If this goes on, as soon as the first graduate comes out, the Imperial City will immediately fire the principal. If you look at the miserable level these kids are at, don’t you think the Emperor will no longer be able to protect them?’

‘Then what should I do… ?’.

‘We need to rebuild the collapsed Combat Department. If both combat and theory are balanced, extreme measures will be put on hold even in the Imperial City.’

‘Ha, that’s true, but… ‘.

‘Do not worry. I’ll take care of it. ‘Please just sign off on this report.’

So Kirin signed off on the report, and Dian began to push forward as he had promised.

But I never even imagined that the church would bring in such a holy priest, especially a great priest who uses healing rain. This was an even bigger shock than when I heard that my father had betrayed the Demon King’s army and turned around.

No matter how I think about it, it’s better for everyone if Dian becomes the principal rather than me. But that doesn’t mean I have any intention of going back to my clan’s forest.

I don’t have the courage or confidence to drop everything and go back and face my father.

Kirrin looked at the education and training plan on her desk. It is planned for the ‘Assassination and Kidnapping’ subject, which Kirlin is currently in charge of.

No matter how good the flying and crawling professors are, there is no one who can match the dark elves in this field, so Kirin is also serving as a subject professor.

As Kirin stared at it, an idea occurred to her.

What if Dian becomes the principal and I go down as the assassination and kidnapping professor? ?

It would be good for the imperial city to have the painting they wanted, and it would be good for me to be free from pressure and stress. My father would also be somewhat satisfied if his daughter was a professor at a major academy in the empire, and it would be good for Dian to get a high position as well.

It looks like no one is losing anything. This is pretty good… ?
