“I think I’m asleep now.”

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

“No. I received a lot of grace from the saint, so I should give it as much as I can. I was very disappointed with the religious leader today. It was a blessing. Even if you pretend it like that, in the end, it’s still prostitution, isn’t it?”

“…..”

“Just imagining how much hardship the saint must have endured brings tears to my eyes.”

“You’re actually crying.”

“I’m sorry. How dare you show dirty tears in front of the saint…!”

“I want to apologize for not knowing about this before and not being able to stop it.”

The woman kneeling in front of us, with tears streaming down her face, was a senior who had performed so well at the academy that she was even mentioned in the textbook.

This person was, of course, a member of the church, and I was very nervous until I went to see her.

What if I am treated as an uninvited guest?

What if you are disappointed in the denomination after hearing this and decide to leave?

All kinds of negative thoughts took over my mind.

But the senior I saw in person was a completely different person.

‘Because he was a warm person.’

They accepted her so kindly that it was almost as if she was nervous.

And after hearing the situation in detail, he got angry as if it was his own.

Honestly, I was very moved.

This was because it was the first time I received confirmation from someone other than my uncle that my choice was not wrong.

I was confident after receiving support from my senior.

He said that the path he was taking was not wrong.

That’s why I wanted to repay this person, and I didn’t bother to block that urge.

“Thank you for offering to support me. It helped me make sure I wasn’t going down the wrong path.”

I think this is the first time I have properly used my abilities since obtaining the holy relic.

In particular, I realized a new ability through the holy relic, but since I had only used that ability before, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do it well.

But fortunately, the ability was successful, and the senior, who had suffered a serious injury in the contaminated zone and had to lose his left arm, returned to normal.

“How could I not follow someone who gives such miracles? Rather, I am grateful for the opportunity to follow.”

It wasn’t just the left arm that was regained.

The senior, whose eyesight was gradually declining for unknown reasons, also regained his sight.

It’s not like there’s been a lot of growth.

Just by possessing a sacred object, he could create miracles that were unimaginable with his existing abilities.

We felt embarrassed just saying thank you to each other.

In the end, I brought up the following story to my senior.

“If there are more people around you who are suffering, please let me know. It’s not enough, but if I can with my skills, I want to take them out of their suffering.”

“Thank you so much. I don’t know what to do because the power that should have been used for humanity was given to a retired, useless bitch like me. I guess this is a miracle.”

The senior continued to speak while shedding tears.

“I know that a shameless bitch would have to refuse the saint’s kindness, but I can’t bear to refuse as it reminds me of a friend I once shared through life and trouble. I’m sorry.”

“Please introduce as many people as you like. I’m fine.”

Since I was still a student learning at the academy, it was just a shame that I couldn’t officially treat them.

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll cut out the tongue of any bitch who uses her mouth carelessly.”

“Thanks to you, more people will be able to escape from pain. Please repay the kindness you have received from me for those who are suffering.”

“I will follow the saint’s will.”

As you said, it was a good thing that you visited the nobles first.

The nobles who experienced miracles due to their increased abilities thanks to the power of the holy relics banded together and became their strength.

And in the process, I was able to find out how corrupt the religious leader had become.

He didn’t even know that his virginity was being sold as a nonsense called ‘blessing’.

‘How did the leader end up like this? I should have stayed by your side…what on earth happened to you while you were away?’

Desperation comes.

If I hadn’t gotten advice from my uncle, I would still be wandering in a dark alley somewhere, unable to make up my mind.

We must save the religious leader as quickly as possible.

The uncle told me to confine the leader in a safe church.

The religious leader has already fallen once, so he will be easily swayed by temptation.

‘We will create a safe place, invite the religious leader there, and free him from pain and agony.’

I felt like if I had the people my senior introduced me to, I would be able to join the church to save the leader.

However, he did not visit the nobles who were on the religious leader’s side.

‘Because they, like the religious leader, have been tainted by corruption.’

They too must be saved.

Fortunately, according to my senior, it wouldn’t be much of a problem to subdue those people.

All of the people my senior introduced me to were very talented.

“Those creeps are no match for us. Even if I go alone, I can rip them all off.”

I thought I needed to calm down my senior a little because he was more energetic than I expected.

“You should not give up right away just because you have fallen. They are also believers of our denomination. If they are saved, I think they will all be able to return to normal.”

“I heard our saint is so kind.”

“That’s right. Those bastards have to start with two eggs.”

“Sweet! What are you talking about in front of a saint? Restrain yourself. This is not a battlefield.”

The senior tried to calm the others down, but it didn’t seem like he had completely calmed down the excitement.

Shaaak- Shaaak- Shaaak-

“The knife looks really sharp?”

“When I touched the paper, it cut right away. I was so excited because I was thinking about tasting it for the first time in a long time. I sharpened it all day.”

They were all people who worked hard for humanity, but were living with creaky bodies after retirement.

A front-line secret special forces unit that traveled around contaminated areas with their seniors, killing monsters that threatened humanity.

I had no regrets about treating my senior’s colleagues.

Aren’t they people who sacrificed much of their lives for humanity?

If it weren’t for these people, current academy students wouldn’t have been able to complete their military service with only 10 years of service.

“Do you want to go now?”

“Yes. There is no reason to delay any longer.”

A few days after you and your colleagues have fully recovered.

We attempted to secretly infiltrate at night toward the church where the leader was located.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“Are you going to sleep?”

“There hasn’t been any news for several days, right? If it gets noisy, you can just wake up then.”

The nobles who had begun to stay in the church at the request of the religious leader were let down their guard as several days passed without anything else happening.

If a student from a healing academy were to invade the church, how much power could they use?

Compared to those who were discharged from the military, they were no better than children.

Also, isn’t it a healing class and not an attack class?

“Well, I guess I should just sleep. I don’t think I’ll be coming today either.”

“If it were me, I wouldn’t come here and would just stay stuck at the Academy. Would you bother to come here in the first place just because there was something to see? Don’t you?”

“Haha, that’s true. But why did you accept the cult leader’s request?”

“I used to use it by donating obediently, but it suddenly became a waste. I joined the church because of the saint’s blessing.”

They spread the word by forcing believers into prostitution, but there’s no way they would have left the saint alone, right?

The religious leader used the first bed of a saint who had not yet become a saint to spread the word.

And the missionary work worked surprisingly well, with quite a few nobles joining the church.

“I thought that if I captured the saint this time, there would be no reason to hand her over to the church.”

“That’s a bit difficult. What should we do if you take the saint?”

“Haha, can I possibly satisfy my greed on my own? I will share it with you all.”

“Hmm…”

Other nobles looked uncomfortable at one noble’s dastardly plan.

He says he will share, but doesn’t he ultimately want to take ownership of the saint?

This was an action that encouraged the greed of other nobles.

‘Don’t I deserve a saint more than that guy?’

They weren’t even thinking about who they would give the rice cake to, but they were playing drums and janggu and thinking about all kinds of dirty things.

Their goal is to take over the body of a saint.

Swoosh-tap! Fighting-!

That moment.

A shadow approached through the darkness and struck the backs of the nobles who were talking dirty with strong, controlled force.

The nobleman, who had fallen without even making a sound, was thrown to the floor as if he was disgusted by the shadow.

Thanks to the carpet, there was no loud noise even if they fell hard.

As the shadow hit the player, several figures appeared after it.

They were all covered in black, something that assassins would wear.

[It’s a shame I can’t kill you.]

[The saint says I can’t do it, so what can I do? I heard you want to try recycling that kind of trash.]

[Isn’t it better for the world if we just burn this down?]

It wasn’t a conversation through voices.

It was a conversation that used the abilities of one of them.

Just as bats use ultrasonic waves to recognize surrounding objects, their conversations were being transmitted to each other through unique waves.

[Continues movement.]

[huh.]

[It’s much easier than you think? If this continues, I might end up not being able to use my Elizabeth.]

[Looking at all the fat gain, it seems like everyone has just been discharged and hasn’t trained their skills at all? How did you get your reserve force training? After falling in…!]

[Isn’t it rather rude to use your childhood skills to deal with things like this?]

[…admit.]

It was a pity for her, who had been happily sharpening the blade all day, but the workmanship of the nobles guarding the order was pathetic and poor.
