I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist - I Possessed an Academy Without a Protagonist chapter 323

Epilogue Episode 17. What happened in the prayer room (1)

‘He’s dead.’

I just lost the life signal in one of my ‘eyes’.

He was a man who wandered endlessly through the forest.

He walked until his feet were covered in blood, as if he didn’t know that he had a weak body, and eventually collapsed from exhaustion.

Considering his past, it was a somewhat meaningless end.

“Ah, Mr. Schlus. Welcome to the Magic Society headquarters.”

“······.”

When I opened my closed eyes, the staff at the counter was serving me in cold sweat for some reason.

Magic Society Headquarters.

It was a place I have been visiting a lot lately.

Recently, the mage rank has risen considerably, reaching Stella level.

As an undergraduate student, I was able to stand on the same level as Ludwig as a scholar.

“The review of all papers submitted this time has been completed and will be published soon… By the way, Mr. Schlus… Well, it is good that you are shaking up the academic society by discovering a new phenomenon. Please do that. If you also complete a logical explanation system and submit it-“

“You want a lot from an undergraduate student. Shut up and get a new paper.”

“Please, sir, could you please submit the new paper later?”

“······?”

When I tried to take the thesis out of my pocket, the employee hurriedly held my arm down and looked around.

I wondered what was going on.

I had five theses to complete in a hurry because my study at home was slowly filling up with no room to move around.

But if you don’t accept it, they tell you where to put it.

“Why?”

“Why? When Mr. Schlus submits his thesis, there are quite a few people who give up eating and drinking and rush in to prove it.”

“Is that my fault?”

“That’s not necessarily true, but if you’re making a new discovery, it would be better if you prove it mathematically…”

I’m sorry, but that was impossible.

Mine’s mind is incredibly fast and accurate when it comes to making calculations, but the problem is that he himself cannot explain the process of calculation.

Because of this, whenever I delved into something, new discoveries poured out, but there was always no explanation as to why such a phenomenon occurred.

I heard that there are rumors like this floating around in the world.

If I prove all the contents of my thesis, I can realize the truth of the world…

Of course it was nonsense.

Even though I have omnipotent power, I still don’t know the truth of the world, let alone my wife’s inner thoughts.

“It’s because the learning curve is short. You have to learn something to find a system to explain these things.”

“Please finish your undergraduate course as soon as possible and prove at least part of the paper you submitted. Please. If we continue like this, all scholars will starve to death…”

“A bad thing is a bad thing, and I will submit this anyway. Take your time and decide whether to post it or not.”

“Huh?!”

Just as he was putting down the wad of paper, the employee took it inside the window, covering the paper with his whole body.

There is no room for it in my house anymore.

As I was trudging along with my hands in my pockets, I could see that what the employee had said was not an exaggeration.

“Ugh. Ugh…”

“Ah. It’s definitely true. If it’s something that Mine observed, it’s definitely true. But I have no idea why it happens like that!”

“······.”

I saw several scholars with shabby looks wandering here and there like zombies and letting out strange screams.

It was a bit scary to look at, so I was just about to quietly pass by.

“Huh?! Isn’t it Mr. Schlus?”

“What? Mr. Schlus?”

“Mr. Schlus! Could you please take a look at my research for a moment? It will only take a moment! As long as the calculations are correct!”

“Schlus! I’ve read all of your papers! But you haven’t been able to prove a single thing! I think I’ve only completed about 90% of the proof for this one, but just in case there’s an error here…!”

“Ugh! Everyone go away!”

I was startled by the sight of them rushing towards me like a swarm of zombies.

I was scared and screaming, and suddenly a voice of salvation came from behind me.

“You idiots! That’s not the one to attack!”

“Huh? What do you mean!”

“What is the reason for Mr. Schluss to visit here? Of course he came to submit a paper! That means…”

“It’s the counter! The teller has Mr. Schlus’s new thesis!”

“How dare you take my thesis and act like a fool! It’s shameful!”

“Attack! Submit the paper!”

In an instant, a group of zombies rushed towards the window.

It was so fierce that I wondered how skinny people could do that, so thin that their belly skin touched their backs.

I left the chaos at the window and left the Magic Society headquarters.

The weather was refreshing.

Everything was a perfect day, except that the guilt of sacrificing an innocent employee was slightly weighing on my heart.

“But what do we really do now?”

However, the problem was that there was a lot of time left.

There was nothing to do.

Of course, once the semester starts, I will be busy completing my undergraduate degree, master’s degree, and doctoral degree as soon as possible, so I will not be able to even visit home, but since it is still vacation, this is not the case.

It still gets quite busy at night, but it was relatively relaxed during the day.

Here, while looking for something to do, I would call one of my wives (to-be) out to play, or if that wasn’t possible, I would just think about it for a moment and write a thesis.

Today, after seeing the proof demons’ faces, I was so sick to my stomach that I really didn’t want to touch the paper.

I have nowhere to go.

“Ah.”

A suitable place came to mind.

I clapped my hands together, selected the appropriate ‘eye’, and teleported to the sky above the island.

I did not make the ridiculous mistake of switching positions with Ervin.

That guy is free now…

‘Are we here?’

After unfolding the low-awareness resolution system and lightly landing on the ground, I could see people pouring into somewhere like a flood.

It was a temple.

It was recently completed under the leadership of Pleshette, and I heard that the chapel can accommodate up to 5,000 people.

It was my first time actually going inside.

“Wow. What kind of chapel looks like a baseball stadium?”

“······.”

“Wow. The size of the statue. Wow.”

“······.”

“Hiyaaa. What’s the height of the ceiling…?”

“······.”

I couldn’t help but be amazed while looking around.

This is a temple that worships me as a god.

I felt strange, but it wasn’t that bad.

At first, I felt rejected because they said they would worship me as a god, but now I can enjoy it too.

“Wow…”

“Eh. So fussy.”

“Be tacky.”

Every time I let out an exclamation, I could feel the eyes of those around me glaring at me.

Because of the low awareness system, they didn’t seem to know that I was the god they served.

I wandered around freely and finally found the place I was looking for.

A quiet prayer room in the basement.

I approached the quiet space where no one came in and out, as if fascinated, and pushed the door open.

Kkiik······

Inside, a girl was kneeling with her hands together and bowing her head.

However, there was neither a stone statue nor a cross in front of her.

She was just praying hard towards the blank white wall.

“Are you here, Schlus?”

“How did you know it was me?”

When she heard the sound of her footsteps, Iris lifted her head and smiled softly.

She knew it was me without even looking back.

“Did you see the future I was coming to?”

“No.”

Iris shook her head quietly.

She then slowly turned around and gave me that lovely smile.

“I thought that the only person who would bother to come to a place like this was Schlus. Schlus is the type of person who is drawn to spaces that are quiet, empty of people, and have a strange atmosphere.”

“It’s not like that. I just searched the temple because no matter where I looked, you weren’t there.”

“Ah…”

Iris’s cheeks gradually turned red.

She was Iris, who didn’t seem to know how to be shy in front of people, but became shy when they were alone together.

“Huh, huh. I see. You were looking for me…”

“You were calling me too, weren’t you? You were praying.”

“Why do you think the object of prayer is Schlus?”

“Now, I am a saint of the Schlus Church, not the Aegis Church. So shouldn’t I be the one to believe?”

“Of course Schlus believes, but he does not serve as a god.”

“This will be a big issue if the outside world finds out.”

“hehehe…”

The saint of the Schlus Church does not serve Schlus sincerely.

If discovered, Iris will not be able to avoid her excommunication.

I lightly wrapped my arms around Iris’s waist as she smiled shamelessly.

“Then do you still believe in Aigis?”

“Well, it’s hard to say that’s necessarily the case. I’m sure there is a god who can control this world, but it doesn’t seem to be the Aegis-sama that the Aegis Church talks about. Strictly speaking, I guess I have to say that there is no god I serve right now.”

“Then who were you praying to just now?”

“I don’t know either!”

“······.”

Iris answered with a bright smile.

She was so ridiculous and her smile was so pretty that I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Perhaps it has become a habit. Praying for the well-being and happiness of the believers who trust and follow me and Schlus…”

“I always feel the same way. Iris, you are so kind that it’s a shame.”

“That’s not necessarily true. They’re doing this in a sacred place where prayers are supposed to be offered.”

Iris’s arms were hanging around my neck.

It was a gentle yet intense hug.

As she was caressing her warm body, she felt sorry without knowing why.

I was wondering if I had been a little neglectful of Iris.

Should I let Iris do whatever she wants today?

“Iris.”

“Yes, Schlus.”

“I’ll do everything you want today. Just tell me anything. What you want me to do for you.”

“Umm…”

Iris began to make a nasal noise as if she was thinking about it.

She was determined to let Iris know what she wanted.

If you hug me tighter like this, or if you go further than that, it’ll just be a kiss.

As much as she was a diligent Iris, she would not be able to do much more than that in the prayer room.

At that time, she grabbed Iris’s arm around her waist and slowly brought it to her lower abdomen.

“Schlus.”

“Huh?”

“Tell me anything, I said it clearly, right?”

“Uh huh. Then.”

“Please listen without being surprised…”

It was unusual for Iris to be restless.

Iris let out a trembling voice, probably because she was a little nervous, and she let me caress her lower abdomen with my hand.

The bulging lower abdomen, slightly protruding from the crotch, was so warm and soft that it made me want to press it hard and make it scream.

“Would you please hit my stomach…?”

“What?”

At that moment, I got goosebumps and froze.

Is it possible to read people’s inner thoughts through future poetry?
