The Academy Needs a Real Education - The Academy Needs a Real Education chapter 127

Episode 127. Presentation (11)

Occasionally, I wonder if the world is a playground for the goddess to play with the creatures.

As can be seen from the proverb that there is no eternal happiness, in the world she created, there was as much unhappiness as happiness, or perhaps more unhappiness than happiness.

This is because many people living in the world have had to spend their lives in the pain of unexpected disasters and the anxiety of uncertain reality.

A peaceful village was suddenly caught up in a war one day and turned into a mess, and there was also a case where a person who promised to be together for the rest of his life was swept away by a natural disaster and lost his life.

Despite thorough preparations for future disasters, an unstoppable tragedy… . It used to make me doubt whether life is so fleeting, whether there is a reason to live with the emptiness that makes me sigh.

There are times when I resent why God created the world this way and makes the creatures live in such pain.

“But think about it from Elma-sama’s point of view. You’ve been living in an extremely boring white world for such a long time that your teeth tremble. Even if unfair things could happen in the world you created, wouldn’t you have no choice but to create a world that keeps changing in an exciting way?”

Elma, who was afraid that if she touched her carelessly and the creatures would live a life of obedience to her, she did not easily extend a helping hand to those who were suffering.

As a result, the world she created may look like hell or a demonic world to some.

“For humans who were thrown into such a harsh world without the protection of a guardian spirit, the goddess left her power in the Bible. Just a little while ago, you saw me, not even a believer, use this power, so you know… . The blessing of the Goddess is not something like a price for faith.”

So that humans don’t break down in the world’s absurdities and unbearable disasters before they can unfold their will to their heart’s content.

The care prepared by the goddess has always existed by our side in the name of a miracle.

Miracles are only the emotions of the caster… . I only responded to the good will to correct the absurdity of the world and realize a brighter world.

The Goddess had to see that the one who borrowed her power was only interested in making the world brighter, regardless of whether he worshiped her or not.

“So even if the number of mages who use the power of the Bible increases, the influence of the goddess in the empire grows. That doesn’t mean the dark age of magic science.”

Wizards needed to cooperate with theologians even for the study of pure light science and its utilization.

Theology students also found a new way to use the miracle, the combination of magic language… . It was a situation where I had to learn about the mindset of wizards.

Now the bloody competition between theology and sorcery had to stop.

“If you think about the development of magic science that will unfold when the miracle of the goddess is available… . This wouldn’t hurt the wizards either. … is not it?”

“… .”

Dana shrugged and looked at the crowd.

Even the observers who booed her at the beginning of the presentation could not find words to refute her presentation.

In fact, what was more important to wizards than the sins of vampires was that the theology that persecuted sorcery in the past could be eradicated at this opportunity.

More than the fear that theology might persecute magism again, the numerous possibilities she opened up in front of their eyes fascinated them.

That’s how Dana’s announcement made the majority of the observers incline.

“… It seems that you are just looking at some of the things I said in this presentation and getting the point off the ground. So, what do you think of the actions of the different races who claim to believe in God, and those who have been harmed by it? If the goddess really has not neglected the world and loves all things earthly.”

Kegar, who had failed to drive a wedge, began his final struggle against the different races.

“Did you also leave hope for non-human beings like Rane in the world?”

* * *

Elma gave the different races their own karma, and the different races felt alive as they performed the karma under the guidance of the guardian spirit.

However, if the karma that the tribe pursues is something that cannot be achieved even if one devotes one’s life… .

Wouldn’t it be natural for individuals to become frustrated in front of a goal designed to be unattainable in the first place?

Why did Elma create the dragon, no, herself like this, and make her live in frustration for the rest of her life?

‘It’s not just me.’

Vampires were born with a cruel personality, and were still living while paying for the sins left by their ancestors in the past.

Isn’t it Elma’s fault that the ancestors were born with such a nature?

Why do descendants who have not committed anything wrong have to pay for their sins?

‘Rane… .’

What did Rane do wrong to be tortured by those vampires and have to live in pain?

Does Rane take responsibility for those who were killed by Rane? Or are the vampires who tortured Rahne and continued cruel experiments using her?

Furthermore, who is responsible for paying for the sins of the vampires? Esca who saved them from their fate of destruction?

No, no. If you trace back the cause of the tragedy that has just occurred, Elma, who created the different races like that, was the culprit.

If she had been a free human being, she would have been able to dance and live with the dynamic world as Elma wanted.

But how should non-human races live when they are born as mutants?

Kegar looked at Dana and continued.

“It is not known when a mutant like Rahne or a being who deviated from the teachings of the guardian deity may reappear. Then, Rane… . Those who have deviated from the doctrine of guardian spirits, how should they overcome the hopeless situation?”

“… .”

“Should a mutant like Rahne be sacrificed just because there are so many people who believe in God? What Professor Dana said. It is only about the utility that believers bring. It is a claim that does not contain any information about the damage caused by them.”

When Dana remained silent, he jumped up and called out to her.

“I admit that pure light science is a great research achievement. I will drop the argument that theology should be actively excluded from the Empire. However, the fact remains that we must be alert to madmen who are not afraid to kill because they are buried in unchanging doctrines from the past.”

Then, Dana turned around with a meaningful smile.

Professor Ian, who had been hiding in the shadow of the podium, appeared as she reached out her hand and clapped her hands together.

“That question has been answered long ago.”

“What is that-”

“In the previous presentation, I explained why Elma created humans. In a changing world, the moment when the different races are blocked by the doctrine of the guardian deity that has been stagnant for a long time… . It is said that he is an indispensable being who can bring about change in them.”

“… !”

“I just wanted to go into a bit more detail about this, and it worked.”

* * *

“I am not trying to defend the tragedy of Miss Rane by saying that the vampires were not at fault. Only, Esca Castle. Among them, the crime committed by a small number of people should not spread to the race of vampires, and furthermore, to be blamed for Escala.”

Esca Castle was the main place for high-ranking vampires and their donors.

Those who conducted experiments related to Rahne were limited to a very small group of ruling classes.

“Esca Castle is where high-ranking vampires have lived together as a family unit for hundreds of years. Even if the decision made in it was against something, it would not have been easy to correct it or look back on one’s beliefs. If it wasn’t Esca Castle-”

“under… !”

Having heard that far, Kegar protested.

“What the professor is doing right now is defending vampires unilaterally. Even if only the ruling class of Esca Castle knew about Rane’s experiments, their faults would not disappear. All of them are accomplices, just fanatics who have done what they shouldn’t be doing under the pretext of following the guardian spirit. Besides, the professor is talking about other vampires as if they were good beings, except for a few members of the ruling class.”

“… .”

“Are you saying that if Rane was found somewhere other than Esca Castle, she would have grown up blessed by vampires? The hatred towards Dipel is imprinted in the instincts of vampires, but what-”

“If Miss Rane was brought up in human society and fully socialized. The lower vampires who live with humans, at least, wouldn’t have treated Miss Rane cruelly like they did in Esca Castle.”

“Do you have any clear evidence? If you’re just voicing your wishes in front of the victim-“

“Think about the difference between a high-ranking vampire and a low-ranking vampire.”

High-ranking vampires who are supplied with blood by blood donors can afford to protect all of Esca’s strict doctrine of avoiding bloodlust as much as possible without making a single mistake.

The lower vampires, who must seek blood outside the castle, can’t, so they compromise between doctrine and reality, continuing their faith and life at the same time.

“They are both vampires, but vampires who grow up in an open society and actively interact with people have the ability to think for themselves before doctrine. It may seem that the determining factor is the presence or absence of blood donors, but… . In fact, what sets it apart is human interaction.”

Unlike the vampires of Esca Castle, who are buried under the teaching to abstain from vampirism, and who are scared in front of humans who smell of blood.

Vampires who were born and raised outside the castle are fighting against the monsters with the humans on the front line even at this moment, using blood when necessary.

“Is it really right to equate the vampires who brutally treated Rahne with those risking their lives for humans?”

“… .”

“Empire doesn’t mean that the secrets and secrets hidden by each family can be known to all the subjects under it. The important thing is to distinguish between those who did wrong and those who did not. It is to charge only those who have done wrong.”

“Even though it turns out that Esca couldn’t reform all of their ugly natures, and the truth that their ruling class tried to hide is clearly revealed?”

“What do the lower vampires living in the Empire and the vampires serving on the frontline know? Most of the vampires living in Esca Castle are unaware of the tragedy that Miss Rane suffered. I’ve talked about it before. Guardian spirits are not perfect beings. Even if they are of different races, they will not all be kind and follow the teachings of the guardian deity.”

“But why… !”

“But even so, it is definitely wrong to attribute some of the fault to that race or to that race’s guardian spirit.”

The problems within the heterogeneous race, Kegar argued, were problems that could be solved if they changed in a positive direction.

“It is not impossible. Like vampires who came out of a closed community and faced and overcame the fear of blood imprinted in their nature… . If the different races open the door and exchange ideas with many people. It can suppress or change the nature inherent in them.”

It does not force faith, and it is not buried in faith.

We do not force rationality and reason, and we do not destroy faith by being buried in it.

Each person’s thoughts will be respected, and this will be free as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.

Those who commit crimes are punished appropriately for their crimes, and those who have accomplished outstanding achievements are recognized regardless of their race or religion.

That is the utopia of the world that Elma thought, and when the role that humans play in the world is fulfilled smoothly. It is a point of destination that can be reached.
