〈 Episode 184 〉 Merit system (5)
* * *
The principle was that the churches of the Helisee Church were built in a style with rich curves. Because it was so stipulated in the Bible.
A branch of Marchen Academy. A stone statue in the shape of a pierced crescent moon, symbolizing the Church of Hellise, was installed on the spire that towered toward the sky. The church of the Helisee Church was surrounded by the spire.
Church chapel.
Bianca Entourage, a saint with light pink hair, was sitting alone in the seat.
A pure white saint’s robe covering her entire body. Golden ornaments. A veil worn on the head. It was the attire that a saint must wear during the public service period. Bianca Anturage had to adhere to her restrained appearance due to her status as a saint.
She prayed to God Manhala as a representative of the Academy at the opening ceremony of the merit festival, then returned to the church and finished her personal prayer.
The church was reverent and quiet. It was in contrast to the enthusiasm of the public trust system.
Bianca held a book in her hands.
A worn-out book taken from Karli Pavilion, the place where a fierce battle took place between the nameless hero and the Thunder God God-Galia at the old Marchen Academy.
I have already read it several times.
There must have been guidance from the gods in finding this mysterious book. Bianca thought so and read the book over and over again.
The letters, which were both straight and round, were still unreadable.
The picture was clearly recognizable.
‘Where am I?’
The rain made of blood was falling incessantly. I was able to recognize it because the author intentionally drew it with his own blood.
There was a hole in the sky. As if the ground had been turned upside down.
Rainwater seeped into the vast lake.
There were several things standing around the lake. It looked like a solid lump, but it was difficult to determine exactly what it was.
No matter where you look in the world, there is no hole in the sky, and even if there were, there would not be lakes like this or rain made of blood.
There is no information related to this ominous place in the Bible of the Helise Church. So where on earth is this?
“Saint. Are you sure you don’t mind not participating in the public trust system?”
When Cylon, the escort believer standing in the corner of the chapel, asked as if he was wondering, Saint Bianca turned her head towards the man.
Bianca still had her eyes closed. She opens or closes her eyes, but her lost physical sight does not return.
We can only look ahead with the mysterious power of divine power. When her strength was depleted, she would be thrown back into the dark world.
“There are many lambs for the Lord’s entertainment. I just pray and struggle to understand the Lord’s holy will even a little more deeply. “Isn’t that the mission of someone who becomes a saint?”
A noble voice. It was a solemn nuance befitting a saint.
Bianca turns her head towards the book again.
“Now I want to know as soon as possible what this book is and who I should pass it to.”
If it was the Lord’s will, he was prepared to sacrifice his life to carry it out.
I don’t know who the author of this book is. However, it was probably the Lord’s will that this book came into his hands.
Therefore, this book must be given to the person to whom it should be given.
And who the target was was already outlined.
“No, there’s no need to worry about that one… .”
Clearly, there is some mystery hidden here at Marchen Academy.
A huge secret that even the saint herself cannot fathom.
It was very clear who was standing on one side.
“‘Unsung hero’… . Probably him. “This book must be handed over to him.”
An unidentified archmage called the Nameless Hero.
I will have to give this book to him.
“Cylon. I will give this book to the nameless hero. Even if you have to crawl on the ground if your limbs are crushed. “Isn’t that the Lord’s will?”
Beyond the colorful stained glass on the ceiling.
The midday sunlight streamed in and illuminated the symbol of the god.
“So, if my body dies and my soul returns to the Lord, I would like you to give this book to him. Even if your limbs are cut off, even if your eyes are gouged out, even if half of your body is blown away, please prioritize your mission.”
The Cylon walked up to the saint’s side, bent one knee, and bowed his head.
He had no hesitation. Having already had his life saved by a saint once, he had already pledged to dedicate his life to the main god and her saint.
“… Yes, I understand.”
Bianca smiled elegantly.

On the Arcball race track. When passing the safe line.
The guys ahead of us also looked back in surprise and gaped at the enormous magical power of Clover Paladin, Pierre Planche.
‘It’s outrageous.’
Basic elemental magic is that bad. Aren’t you crazy?
Well, I already expected it.
We were already prepared.
“… what?”
Pierre looked surprised. This was because the results that exceeded his expectations were presented before his eyes.
“Khahaha!!”
Tristan was already flying along the track at incredible speed with the wind wrapped around his body.
Grumble!
Our protagonist, Ian Fairy Tail, stretched his arms back and exploded with fire elemental magic, flying through the air like a rocket.
His skills were still lacking, so he couldn’t reach Tristan’s speed, but he was at a decent level.
Doji Tumals, a male student on our team who sometimes had a strong presence and then became as quiet as Assa, avoided whirlpools and waves by pulling up rock pillars from under his feet like Rizzetta.
The high density of water magic shattered even his rock pillar, but by then Doji was already out of Pierre’s attack range.
Our team had 0 casualties. Moreover, Snow White, his target, was not affected by the water magic.
Pierre quickly turned his eyes to find me and White.
“Wow! “Senpai Isaac!!!”

Wow!!
I was holding White in my arms, creating an ice board under my feet, and riding the waves created by Pierre as if surfing.
White screamed so hard that it hurt my ears.
Hair and clothes were flying wildly. Even my shoes were frozen on the ice, so my feet were stuck.
I stretched forward at high speed, freezing the surface of the wave. Even during this time, thanks to my well-trained body, it was quite easy to keep my balance.
I had already secretly negotiated with the White Team.
White is my mentee, so I will protect him if anything happens.
I told my team that as well, and they all agreed.
Perhaps because the story of White being attacked by a shaman and my anger during the sparring evaluation had spread through word of mouth among the students, everyone seemed to understand my feelings.
In addition, the strategy was shared in the name of being careful about Pierre Planche, one of the people famous for his large amount of magical power.
The moment I crossed the safe line, I decided to go full force, like firing a booster in a kart game. It was to prepare for the emergency situation where Pierre tried to annihilate everyone.
Well, ‘just in case’ is an excuse.
‘I already figured it out with [psychological insight].’
Thanks to this, our team and White’s drill head team succeeded in avoiding Pierre’s attack.
‘oh.’
It came up pretty high. Pierre’s shocked face looked down.
“under! “Slugs!”
Tristan flew through the air at incredible speed, passed the students, and reached the arch ball in one go.
It got faster again. I can’t tell you how much more you’ve trained since you lost to me.
Tristan intercepted the archball that was caught in another student’s landing net. Originally, there was no net or anything, so it was quite possible to intercept the arc ball by swinging a landing net and letting it pass.
Several students were taken aback when they saw Tristan appear in the blink of an eye.
“Ahh!”
“Don’t miss it!”
However, because there were many competitors coming around, Tristan decided that he would not be able to handle them all, so he immediately passed the arc ball towards Ian.
The arc ball flew at high speed, and Ian easily caught it with a landing net.
Lightning magic flowed out and caught the arch ball.
“Tch!”
Pierre swung a water spell at Ian, who was at least a short distance away. In an instant, water magic formed around Ian and surged out in the form of a wave.
That must be difficult to avoid.
Fuuuu!!
“Isaac!!”
Then Ian swung the landing net and threw an arc ball at me, who was riding Pierre’s wave.
I immediately caught the flying arc ball with a float.
Crackling. Lightning magic flowed out of my landing net and caught the arch ball. good.
Fuuuu!!
“Ahh!”
Ian was swept off the track by a wave and lost consciousness after being hit by a series of water spells.
Ian hits his back against a tree and closes his eyes. I won’t forget your sacrifice.
It wasn’t just this guy. Looking back on the path we had taken, many students who had been swept away by Pierre’s water magic were groaning or rolling around in pain. Most of them were unconscious. Thank you for eliminating competitors.
what. Pierre is a paladin and one of Alice’s powerful subordinates.
Because the magic density was so high, even basic water elemental magic would have felt similar to hitting iron rather than just splashing water.
Anyway, what to do next was clear. Pierre generously revealed that he was the most dangerous man in this race. In other words, I had sufficient justification to attack him without hesitation.
“white! Take out your wand!”
“Wow… !”
As mentioned before, White took out a magic bag from within his arms and took out Zanya’s staff from within it. It was a magic bag that contained only that magic weapon.
The magic bag was thrown away, and in White’s hand was a magic weapon as big as his body.
White hugged me tightly and held it tightly in my arms. Just like that, I grabbed Zanya’s staff.
“Woooo!! From the moment the safe line is crossed, it becomes a complete mess!! Among them, Isaac and Pierre Planche ride the waves on the ice and win the arc ball!!”
Amy’s voice echoes through loudspeakers placed throughout Marchen Academy.
Pooh wow.
Pierre reaped the water magic. The waves that had been slowly sinking suddenly turned into blue powder and were scattered in the wind.
“Aaaaa!!”
I felt a sense of buoyancy. As his body began to fall in one fell swoop, White tightly wrapped his arms around my shoulders. She hugged me tightly, closed her eyes tightly, and screamed at the top of her lungs.
As I was falling, I looked at Pierre.
Water element magic was still swirling around Pierre, and he was always in a state of both attack and defense.
Ignoring White’s deafening screams, he held out Zanya’s staff with a calm expression. The magic stone containing the energy of dawn was headed towards him.
Light blue ice magic was poured out as it was. In order to use Zanya’s staff, he was able to quickly complete the complicated magic operation that had been repeated countless times.
Powerful flowing water current. It is still difficult for my skills to completely freeze Pierre’s powerful water magic.
There was no need to freeze all of that water elemental magic.
C’mon!
My [Elemental Efficiency] is at a high level. In other words, the area where I can cast magic is very wide.
The water element was frozen around Pierre, the center of the vortex.
[Elemental Synergy] is activated. When freezing water, the power and effectiveness of ice element magic increases.
Pierre, who realized that I was trying to freeze my body, widened his eyes and quickly released the whirlpool.
That wasn’t my aim.
Couuuuu!!
“… … !!”
At the same time, a shadow fell around Pierre.
Porosity. Only then did he raise his head and notice the large chunk of ice falling.
One after another, several large blocks of ice were created in unison toward a place where the creature could escape.
On top of the ice chunks falling towards Pierre, ice chunks for a secondary attack were created.
This feat was possible thanks to the guy spreading the water element. I even ate up the remnants of its mana that were fluttering in the wind and used it as my own power.
The only thing they were targeting was Pierre.
“Are you crazy?! How can you do that all at once? ?”
“That bastard… !”
Tristan and Rizetta seemed surprised to see me create several large ice blocks at once using basic elemental magic.
Just before White and I hit the ground. They created an ice slide and gently swept down the ice board. As soon as I touched the ground, I released the ice board and started running again.
Kwaaaa!!
Behind me, chunks of ice crashed to the ground in the distance.
White, low-temperature dust rose up and a roar rang out. The ground seemed to shake for a moment in the aftermath.
Did Pierre, who was left alone, catch a chunk of ice that had fallen with nowhere to escape?
“Senior Isaac!!! Oh, I was scared… !!”
“I thought my ears were falling off because of your screams.”
I ran while holding White in my princess embrace and urged him. She was quite uncomfortable holding the landing pole in her right hand and Janya’s staff in her left hand.
I looked back.
In the pure white smoke, a magical power bursting out that was so terrifying that it gave me goosebumps. There’s no way you’d faint like this.
“… Isaac… .”
The person who waved his arms and broke through the dust was Pierre, a trickle of blood flowing from under his beige hair. The frowning brow filled with murderous intent especially stood out.
Is that even after being hit by a large block of ice along with the [Human Combat Power] buff, Zanya’s Staff buff, and the [Elemental Synergy] buff?
Even though it seems like he blocked my ice block purely with [basic protection magic]. That’s great.
“White, please take care of the cane.”
“Oh, yes!”
“Hold on tight.”
“yes… ? “Ahhhh!!”
I had White hold Zanya’s cane and ran down the track, showing off his leg muscles to the fullest.
The arc ball is caught in my landing net.
Pierre was behind me, and the other participants were in front of me all at once.
