***

After that night, Dawn began to focus on training, skipping classes.

As soon as I open my eyes, I run to Corvus and ask for his teachings, and in my spare time, I repeat sparring and the ordeal of the stairs.

It was a forced march that was incompatible with normal academy life, but fortunately the academy did not require him to fulfill his duties as a student.

Principal Himena’s consideration was also considerate, but it was also thanks to the appropriate excuse that he needed treatment due to the wounds he received while fighting the Red Star in Japan.

Some students even whispered that he was preparing for the Olympia by skipping classes by lying… There were not as many of those people as I thought.

In fact, Dawn wasn’t the only one using tricks in preparation for Olympia.

It was already an open secret that developed countries were feeding doping elixirs to their students, and the three princes of the empire were openly digesting elixirs sent by the emperor.

In addition, if you go to Canada’s 10th lecture, Jeon Yun-seong, who is directly taught by Lieutenant General MacFarlane… Yeo-myeong, who made the excuse of being sick, was one of the most conscientious.

Of course, Yeomyeong herself did not pay much attention to such evaluations.

I had already gotten over the point of being excited about rumors about the Academy, and more than anything, I felt like my head was going to explode with just the question about the former saint.

‘… The former saintess.’

Why did his mother, who gave birth to him, lose herself?

What happened that led to him being sealed with Mignium without any memories of his mother?

The Ayatollah’s dream, the letter from the Tower of Magic, and even the trials of the Academy… Why did she leave such a legacy?

I asked Khepri up in the sky a question, but he only answered that he had no idea what happened in another time zone.

The more I met the former saint, the more my doubts deepened…

“In other words, this… Hey, are you listening?”

Dawn was startled by the familiar voice and came to her senses. When she turned her head, she saw the former saintess staring at him.

“… “I’m listening.”

“What did I say just a moment ago?”

“I forgot.”

“It’s short-term memory loss, a disease that can usually be cured with just one kick. “Shall we treat you right away?”

The saintess of Jeondae stretched out her right leg and said. She looked at Dawn’s frivolous appearance and tried to swallow her bitter smile.

“If you just explain it again, wouldn’t it be cured right away?”

“is it so? “Then, just in case, let’s do both.”

puck! The former saintess kicked Dawn’s calf. However, the person who actually screamed was not Dawn, but the former saintess.

It was a natural result. Unlike Dawn’s body, which had become surprisingly strong after her transformation, the toes of the former saintess, who had not received any reinforcement, were not much different from those of an ordinary person.

“Ah… “What kind of person’s calves are this hard?”

The saint, who was holding on to her shoes and groaning, was only able to stand up again after a while. She huffed at her dawn, who was looking at her with a complicated expression.

“In times like this, it would be nice if you could use a healing miracle… No, how can an incarnation of God not even use healing miracles?”

“That’s right.”

Dawn shrugged her shoulders. As she said, no matter how hard Dawn tried, she couldn’t use the miracle of healing.

To be exact, Khepri did not grant such a blessing. Unlike the gods of Asha, Khepri is a god who is far from healing or something.

… Well, anyway.

“The joke ends here. Now, this time, don’t do anything else and just listen. “Okay?”

The Jeondae saintess, who caught Dawn’s attention with a loud, short cough, returned to her education.

“There are three main ways to strengthen your divinity and increase your blessings. First, to receive more love from God.”

“… “Love?”

“People give snacks to pretty pets more often, right? “You can think of it as similar to that.”

“that… “That sounds incredibly blasphemous, doesn’t it?”

“That’s because your mind is full of baskets. Metaphor! “Don’t you know the analogy?”

“No, what kind of metaphor is that…” .”

Whether or not Dawn trailed off, the former saintess continued speaking.

“Anyway, receiving the love of the gods is both simple and difficult. “On a small scale, we must follow the teachings in the scriptures, and on a large scale, we must achieve what the gods want.”

“What the gods want… What exactly is that?”

“Let me give you an example to make it easier to understand… Hmm, the green god of life will like it if you have a lot of children, right?”

“… .”

I wonder why the green god likes him so much… ? As Dawn realized the terrifying truth, she moved on to the next explanation.

“The second is to make your inner passageway bigger. This is, um… Simply put, it means training your mind.”

“Mental training? “I’m not sure if this is too general, but what kind of spirit are you talking about exactly?”

“Knowledge, wisdom, courage… Or things like patience. The bigger your muscles are, the heavier dumbbells you can lift, right? In the same sense, a stronger spirit can withstand more divine mana.”

The explanation of the saintess of Jeondae was simple and sweet. A straightforward explanation as if it would push aside all kinds of rhetoric and point out only the correct answers.

But when we moved on to the last method, the saint’s explanation became even more complicated.

“The third and final way is to understand the spirit of God. “Without religious teachings, this is almost impossible.”

“Just from what I hear, it sounds like it would be much easier than training your mind.”

“It’s easy… Think of it this way. “Can ants understand what it feels like for a human to fly on an airplane?”

“… .”

“Besides, the gap between the gods and us is greater than that between ants and people. They don’t eat or eat anything, right? “It’s just as difficult for us to understand them as it is for them to understand us.”

After finishing her explanation, the saintess of Jeondae added, stroking Dawn’s head.

“Ah, don’t think too hard about it though. Unlike regular priests, he is an incarnation. “I am in a position to ask questions much more comfortably than the average person.”

“… .”

“Foot, don’t make such a blank expression, just move as I say. Kneel on one knee on the stairs, put your hands together in a prayer position… .”

Dawn obediently followed her words. Like a child who steps into an unfamiliar place, holding tightly to her mother’s hand.

However, despite the guidance of the former saint, Dawn received God’s call very simply.

『Okay, what kind of blessing can I give you?』

Suddenly the entire staircase lit up brightly and Khepri’s voice rang out. It was so unexpected that the saint who guided her opened her eyes.

“As expected, Avatar… So easy… .”

“… .”

No matter what the former saintess said, Dawn asked in her heart to tell her a blessing that could be useful in battle.

Khepri did not give his blessing right away. Unlike the gods of Asha, he did not seem to be used to this, and created a completely new blessing.

Blessings of solar light.

It was a blessing made by Dawn by tearing off the part of Khepri’s divinity that symbolized sunlight, and it was a blessing that radiated light that cut through the darkness and burned the evil things like the rising dawn.

And is it because he spent thousands of years in a seal, embracing the divinity of Khepri himself?

Dawn naturally engraved the blessing in her mind, as if she had been learning it since birth.

Of course, it wasn’t free.

『I will accept lapis lazuli as payment.』

“… .”

Jewelry was a major export item and luxury item in ancient Egypt. For a moment, it took a moment for Dawn and the former saintess to blink at the same time at the rather blatant request.

The light of Khepri disappeared without warning, just as it had descended.

A short silence.

The saintess of Jeondae looked blankly at Dawn and the ceiling of the stairs, then suddenly said one word.

“Try it.”

“yes?”

“It’s a blessing I just received. “Try it right now.”

Dawn willingly did so. Raising her divinity, she prayed to Khepri and herself.

‘Light.’

Immediately after, a small light burst through Dawn’s fingers. At most, the brightness is slightly stronger than that of a candle. The saintess who saw that laughed and said.

“You’re cute too.”

“… .”

“Still, it’s not bad for a first attempt. Hmm, would you like to concentrate a little more? “As delicately as when I first met my lover.”

That’s a really strange analogy. Dawn prayed once again without bothering to point out that fact.

‘Light.’

The blessings gathered at his fingertips gladly responded to his prayers. If there was one problem, it was that the parable of the saint was not appropriate.

The first meeting between Dawn and the lovers, namely Seti, the saint, and even Miridis, was far from delicate.

Dawn, who had forgotten that, honestly breathed divinity into it, and soon—

Flash!

Light exploded. The light was strong enough to blind the viewer.

“evil!”

The saintess of Jeondae was startled by the light that suddenly appeared. She lost her balance at the top of her stairs and stumbled narrowly.

Fortunately, just before she fell backwards, Dawn held her hand and she was able to avoid falling down the stairs.

“… “I told you to be as delicate as when you first met your lover, didn’t you?”

“that… “I did it like I did when we first met.”

The saintess of Jeondae said, ‘Look at this guy?’ I looked at her dawn with these eyes.

“… “Did you meet your lover on the battlefield?”

“uh… That’s not it… No, it’s similar.”

Dawn could not say that she had been beaten with poison, pointed at gunpoint, or threatened.

But even if it was just a fantasy, the saint was still a saint. The saintess of Jeondae tapped his shoulder, looking at something pitiful.

“what… I understand. “When I first met him, he started by swearing at me.”

After hearing the dark story of her mother that she did not want to hear, Dawn swallowed the words that rose to the top of her throat.

No, then why did you make that analogy?

***

Inside Lord Howe Academy, a secret training ground blocked from external surveillance.

“Faster! “Don’t play with your feet!”

A middle-aged man shouting in a rough voice typical of a soldier was sparring with a boy holding a sword.

“The sword is shaking! “Get your mind straight!”

The boy’s sword was so fast and strong that it was invisible to the naked eye, but the middle-aged man with steely eyes continued to urge him as if he did not like it.

“What are you doing! “My side is empty!”

puck! The middle-aged man’s knee, which had been blocking the sword with his bare hands, suddenly dug right into the boy’s side. It was so incredibly fast that the average person couldn’t even see it.

Speed ​​is power. The boy who was hit by his knee lost his balance and rolled on the floor.

“Cough!”

How far did it roll on the floor where the safety device was installed?

By the time the boy had managed to get his bearings and raise the sword, the soldier’s blade had already touched the front of the boy’s neck.

“This is my 30th death.”

“… .”

“Tell me the reason for this defeat, Jeon Yunseong.”

As soon as the soldier could retrieve his hand, the boy named Jeon Yun-seong stood at attention and answered.

“I was so focused on rushing that I neglected defense.”

“Accurate. Unless you are learning Dzhugashvili, maintaining a balance between attack and defense is very important. “No matter how powerful your attack is, what good will it do if you get fatally injured?”

The middle-aged man who said that suddenly adjusted the appearance of the military uniform he was wearing.

Military uniform with a narwhal emblem and a star symbolizing the Canadian Superhuman Forces… Yes, he was MacFarlane, a Top 10 representative for Canada.

Unlike the laid-back Canadians, he boasts a very tough look and said while throwing a canteen at Jeon Yun-seong.

“Unfortunately, today’s training ends here.”

“yes? But I… .”

“I guess we could add more. But being able to do it and being in top condition are two different things.”

“… .”

Jeon Yunseong did not protest further. MacFarlane looked at Jeon Yun-seong and kissed his lips.

“It’s good to beat yourself up, but growth comes from rest. “Restrain yourself.”

“… .”

“Or are you really that concerned about a thousand people?”

Jeon Yunseong did not answer. MacFarlane shook his head.

“If you care about the rumor that Auguste is teaching this guy… That’s just a rumor. “France is not merciful enough to provide learning to superhumans who are not its own citizens.”

“… Have you already investigated his background?”

“What about background investigation? “I’m just talking about common sense.”

Immediate answer. MacFarlane looked Jeon Yun-seong up and down and continued speaking.

“I understand very well that you are conscious of having your arm cut off by this guy. but… If you want to beat him, stay calm and wait for your chance. Who knows? “I wonder if he’ll get injured before he meets you in the finals.”

“What is that… ?”

“The thing about Olympia is that you can’t even see an inch in front of you. You should work on controlling your condition. That is the only way you can repay your country’s kindness. Do you understand?”

Jeon Yun-seong tried to ask more, but MacFarlane left the training room without taking any more questions.

For a moment, the sound of heavy military boots echoing through the hallway.

A Canadian soldier waiting outside the training room approached him and saluted.

“Lieutenant General, this is information from the Pentagon.”

“… Tsk.”

MacFarlane took the document the soldier held out with a reluctant expression and checked the title.

[Academy Internal Elf Candidate Suspicious List]

In the document, about ten candidates investigated by the U.S. military were listed, but except for two who looked like elves, the rest was close to dummy information.

“… “After being a babysitter, is it a cannon fodder?”

MacFarlane handed the document back to the soldier and clicked his tongue. Because I guessed why the United States handed over this information to him.

“Spread this information to South America.”

“But in South America, there’s that crazy guy who hates elves… .”

MacFarlane interrupted the soldier.

“Do you still not know the real reason why the United States handed over this document? It means that we should call him. “If something goes wrong, they’ll want to pass all responsibility on to us.”

“… .”

The soldier, realizing the truth, clenched his fist, but MacFarlane just shook his head.

Because I knew very well that this is what soldiers from weak countries are like, and that compared to the United States, all countries on this planet are weak countries.

… The day after Canada and the United States started planning something.

Suddenly, the final opponent of the Dawning Olympia preliminaries was changed.
