The Academy Needs a Real Education - The Academy Needs a Real Education chapter 125

Episode 125. presentation (9)

“Those who have abandoned the night god. I heard that vampires define Dipel like this… . At least Rane never betrayed Esca. This girl has never been taken care of by Esca since the moment she was born.”

As if ridiculing the taboo of vampires, Rane dressed in a red dress and sun-patterned headdress held Kegar’s hand and quietly climbed to the podium… . Ian naturally had to step aside for them.

The night before the recital, the red shoes that had knocked Rahne over dozens of times shone in the light of the podium.

Fortunately, Rane did not stumble or lean to one side, but stood calmly, her gloomy red eyes lowered.

When the story of her beautifully decorated appearance and tragic fate was added, the observers who had flinched at the word Dipel began leaning forward again to observe her.

“As you can see, unlike Dipel, who loses his reason and recklessly hunts all living things, Rahne can control his vampirism and have a normal conversation.”

Just looking at the way she stood holding Kegar’s hand right now, she didn’t look like a threat to humans.

As the first impressions of last night’s banquet hall, which appeared under Seryl’s screen, overlapped, those who did not know her identity now looked at the podium in a comfortable posture as if they were completely relaxed.

“Vampires seem to have to drink blood to survive, so there is only one difference between them and Rane. It was just that I didn’t receive Esca’s protection. It was not because of his own choice, but because he was born with blood that could not serve the guardian spirit.”

“… .”

“However, Rane’s existence could have been seen as a flaw of Esca, who promised to take care of all vampires soon. How the vampires treated this child… . You can kind of guess.”

It was certain that the vampires would have put a bond of prejudice and discrimination on the newborn child who could not understand anything.

As the audience’s eyes began to glow from interest to pity, Kegar took a few papers out of his arms and held them up without missing a beat.

“here… ! There is a record of what kind of atrocities they committed against Rane.”

“… !”

“In this place today, the bare faces of those who said they would live to atone for the sins of their ancestors throughout their lives. And I want to show you how an uncritical belief in faith paralyzes reason.”

* * *

Beneath the sacred ground of a beautiful night, where glimmering lights adorning the darkness shine… .

The girl who was brutally treated under the doctrine of a guardian deity has lived in pain for 200 years, developing an endless hatred for the hypocrites living above her.

The vampires wanted to bury the secret forever in the lowest floor of Esca Castle.

The sins that the vampires buried underground eventually came to the surface, and under the construction of Esca Castle, the dipel surge, began to pay for it with the worst crisis.

‘And finally now.’

At the pulpit of the first tower, the terrible truth hidden by the vampires will be revealed publicly.

On the edge of the cliff that would drop the disgusting vampires into the abyss, Kegar stood with a complicated expression on his face.

‘… .’

At an important moment that will be recorded as the end of vampires in history, the reason why his mind became complicated was by no means pity for vampires.

just… . Because of Ian standing alone in the corner of the podium, like an uninvited guest.

It was complicated in my head because Ian’s confident attitude, as if this whole situation was under his calculations, bothered him.

‘There… . Did I say ‘Clinamen’?’

The primordial world he showed me.

I wondered if the world filled with unchanging order was really the heaven she had been talking about.

Akasa said that Laplace could create an eternal paradise.

The emptiness he felt there did not go away and remained in his heart, continuing to disturb Kegar’s mind.

‘Elma was able to create a stable world from the beginning. The pain you’re going through wouldn’t have been felt if Elma hadn’t made us this way.’

Laplace’s utopia, which he personally experienced through Professor Ian’s free magic… . It seemed like a dead world with no life at all.

Of course, there are many differences between the world in the beginning and the world now.

If Laplace removes all variables that exist in the world, wouldn’t the place where they would spend their time would not be heaven, but the world of the dead, frozen in time forever?

When doubts began to rise over the proposition, which had never been shaken since entering Laplace, he calmly took a deep breath and tried to dispel his thoughts.

‘Ian’s announcement must have been a goal to shake me. Dana, who was aware of Laplace’s wishes, must have corrected the contents of the announcement… . We must not get involved in psychological warfare.’

Even if he comes to understand why Elma created the ever-changing world, there are still many unanswered questions left for him.

‘If you want to create a dynamic, living world, why Elma… . Was it designed to make the dragons feel uneasy in front of changing things?’

In a world where everything changes endlessly, a race that seeks to gather unchanging truth.

In the world created by Elma, there was nothing more contradictory than a dragon.

‘How can we forgive a goddess who designed us to pursue unattainable goals?’

Having made up his mind, Kegar presented the report to the crowd next to Rane, who stood in the spotlight.

“This is a top-secret document secured by the Imperial Academy, accessible only to the leadership of Esca Castle… . This is the observation journal for the test subject, Rane.”

* * *

The origin of the Bible is the first and last trace of the Creator God reaching out to prevent the extinction of mankind.

It was clear that Elma’s three teachings, written in the first chapter of the Bible, were all for humans.

‘Be pure. You will come to realize that you are pure.’

However, the interpretation of the second teaching, the verse about innocence, differed greatly from church to church.

I feel like I know the truth now… . Mina thought while listening to Kegar’s presentation.

“The test subject consumed about 500mL of the 2L amount of blood provided, and tried to distribute the remaining blood to the researchers outside the observation room. When the researchers left without showing any reaction, the blood was given to the insects inside the observation room.”

All heterogeneous people can inherit the worldview set by their guardian spirit, so they instinctively live their lives according to the doctrine from birth.

Rane, who was born without the protection of a guardian deity, faced the world like a blank sheet of paper without any prejudice or knowledge.

Not being able to properly distinguish blood purified by moonlight from animal blood, failing to understand the malice of the vampire researchers who imprisoned him, and trying to communicate by offering food… .

Her appearance, written at the beginning of the report, was more like a human child rather than a different race.

The moment that innocence breaks and you realize what kind of existence you are… . Although it came at a time too early for a child to handle.

“… Lane. Is what is written in this report true?”

“Yeah.”

“To everyone here, can you elaborate a bit more?”

Rahne read the report, and he told the audience about the details of the experiment he had been subjected to, while searching for the omissions in it and adding them one by one.

“Not long after I was imprisoned, only a hoarse scream echoed through the basement, like scratching iron.”

I hope the report mentions this.

That was the day I was convinced that Rane was a heretic.

‘This bitch is the mother of that monster. It’s heresy, so let’s start the purification.’

‘I am not a heretic. I’m the trustworthy Esca-samaaa!!’

As time passed, the screams that complained of pain gradually changed into resentment toward someone.

‘monster! I gave birth to you- aaa! Please, save me! Naaa!

Time passed, and by the time I no longer heard voices resentful of someone underground.

Unlike usual, the researcher who dragged Rane roughly said that he left Rane in a room stained with red blood.

“Thin blades stabbed and cut my fingertips and toes over and over again, and hot needles entered my body. And then, I won’t listen to anything you say today… . If you want to say something you know, I told you to say it tomorrow.”

Rahne was tortured for heresy without knowing what he had done wrong.

‘Oh, I was wrong. It hurts so much. sorry.’

‘Is that the end of what I’m going to say today?’

‘sorry. sorry. sorry. sorry. sorry.’

‘Let’s start again.’

She said that she shouldn’t die like this, and after being punished, the researcher waiting in front of the prison treated her.

When the sick body rapidly recovers with magic, the peeled skin sprouts, and the rough new flesh sprouts from the ends of the severed fingers and toes.

The girl lost sleep due to the itch that gnawed her entire body.

‘Hey, how long do I have to do this?’

‘I do not know.’

‘after… . That bitch’s mother didn’t know anything, so what could she know about that monster? It’s just a sin to be born that way.’

‘Be careful what you say, because if you say that in front of someone else, you’ll end up like that too.’

After being punished, one day I couldn’t sleep like usual.

“Because I was born this way, I am being punished painfully for one reason only. I found out then.”

Realizing her mistake, Rane begged for forgiveness over and over again.

He just started to use Rane in a different way, claiming that torture with knives and needles was not effective.

Her apology did not reach any vampire.

‘Study a way to utilize that monster?’

‘I know what you’re thinking, but don’t show that in front of the research director.’

‘No, so what are you going to do? During the purification process, we confirmed that the regenerative power and durability were normal.’

‘Why, there is such a thing. It’s something that can’t be tested on our own people.’

‘… .’

The contents of the observation book, in which she was in pain without knowing why, came as a great shock to Mina.

I wondered if I was announcing a fabricated report for public opinion.

To think so… . I could feel too many emotions in Rane’s expression as she was giving a presentation.

Mina, who had been observing Rane at the banquet hall for the possibility that she would run out of control, was able to understand that she did not have a deep understanding of society to show such a skillful performance.

There were a few times I could see him not being able to focus on his role despite Kegar’s constant attention, and being stopped for trying to show his normal side in between.

I could feel that the things written in the report were not lies, but actually happened.

‘Of course, Rahne has killed too many people so far. And those who have nothing to do with what happened to them… .’

However, from the point of view of the audience who do not know this.

Under the doctrine of the guardian deity, this situation in front of a girl who was unjustly sacrificed for not being able to communicate with Esca… .

“They blindly follow the doctrine of the Guardian Spirit without any consideration or thought. If their god taught them to be against humans, they would have their hands bloodied without remorse or guilt.”

I couldn’t help but nod my head at Kegar’s argument that naturally followed.

Unaffected by the guardian deity, Rane, freely wearing red clothes and basking in the sun, resembles a human.

His claim that what happened to Rane was something that could happen to humans… . Even Mina, who supports Professor Ian, couldn’t come up with anything to refute.

“To think that these people atone for and reflect on the mistakes of their ancestors in the past. indeed… . Should we believe that? Also, even though such evil deeds were openly in progress, is the guardian spirit that could not control my followers really a being that we can trust?”

Kegar looked around and said in a more exasperated voice.

“Unless, as Professor Ian announced, the creator god and the guardian god are not absolute. There is absolutely no reason humans should fear them. Until now, humans feared divinity, and showed excessive tolerance to those who were confined to the doctrine of guardian spirits. At this moment, when the true face of the fanatics is completely revealed, we must be alert to the different races that may harm humans at any moment!”

faith.

The act of entrusting all judgment to someone other than oneself and blindly following him.

“This is barbaric. name god. Those who leaned on it and brainwashed themselves with faith instead of reason lost even the smallest amount of judgment. Now, we must get out of the shadows of the creator and guardian spirits. If we don’t expel the faith that adheres to outdated customs from the empire, we, who are standing here now, may be targeted by them.”

If God doesn’t solve all problems, why should we bow our heads to them standing above us?

“Of course, humans escaped extinction because Elma handed over the Bible. However, it should not happen that we are bound only by the records of the past left by the Goddess and violate the freedom and rights that we should enjoy.”

So, maybe Rane is a cursed being to vampires… . It was the most valuable gift to mankind.

“Rane’s blood has the property of rejecting the guardian spirit and blocking mana. Through this power, we will be able to banish the old and incompetent gods from this world and create a world where only the clear mind is valued the most.”

For magicians who once faced a dark age with the lofty stature of theology, Kegar’s claim was truly heart-pounding.

Already, some cheered and began to induce him to completely control the atmosphere of the pulpit.

at that time… .

“Does the extinction of theology really make us truly free? I don’t think so.”

Sprinkling cold water on the heated air, Dana climbed onto the podium.
