NOVEL NEXT Chapter 49.2
This time, even Naiser Sephet was taken aback.
The students asked in confusion:
“Did he pass the test? At the age of 10?!”
“Uh… he didn’t pass a qualification exam, but the priests recommended him…”
As soon as those words came out, Naiser Sephet burst into laughter.
“It’s good to be from a saintly family! They’re going to stick an unqualified brat, who hasn’t grown and doesn’t even have the qualifications, just because he’s the disappeared Duke’s son? That’s knowing your colleagues well.”
That damn guy!
Eventually, unable to endure the family’s gossip, Shuri stood up.
“Are you going to mock the Papal priests too?”
“!”
Everyone was startled by an unfamiliar voice. And seeing the face that appeared, they were even more shocked.
“Kina Berit…!”
He was near the door. The Pope’s grandson, now 14 years old, looked at him as if he was pathetic.
“Do you think the Papal priests would recommend based solely on the family’s name? Rather, the recommendation system is more demanding than the qualification test, which is the graduation exam. Or, in the first place-“
“!”
“That recommendation was accepted by none other than your father, Duke Leon Sephet.”
“What, what?!”
Kina Berit chuckled lightly.
“Your father seems to know his colleagues well.”
“This…!!”
As the surroundings buzzed, Naiser Sephet ground his teeth. Damn it, why is the Pope on Eshua’s side?
No, that aside, there was a separate issue.
“You’re not even an academy student! Why are you here, causing a scene!”
“I was summoned to Foundation Day.”
“Ahaha! Nothing can be done if you’re the Pope’s grandson! Must be here to observe the seniors!”
“No. I was called as a mentor and instructor for this year’s graduates of the Sacred Technique Department.”
“…?!”
What’s going on?
“Instructor?!”
At the same time, Shuri narrowed his eyes.
Kina Berit.
The Pope’s grandson, who hadn’t been ordained a priest yet, was already considered by the priests as a colleague of intermediate rank or higher.
He currently wasn’t interested in private matters…
‘No, that’s not it.’
The Pope said so.
He was worried that Kina’s talents might frustrate other kids of the same age.
So, the formal priesthood would be received after becoming an adult, and for now, he was asked to share enlightenment and accumulate experience.
Aren’t they confident that the Saint and the Pope will naturally be that child?
However, Kina Berit, who seemed to protect Eshua, smiled at Shuri.
“I’m worried about you, Shuri. Isaac Eshua, who can’t even grow, has no chance of becoming a priest. You should endure until you lead Eshua yourself.”
“This…!”
He hoped the Blue family would fall apart!
But he whispered to Shuri as if he felt sorry for him.
“Oh, perhaps it’s difficult for a half-breed like you to get a position as a Cardinal? Well, if it’s tough, come find me. With half of a proud Gold lineage, it wouldn’t be difficult for you and your father to be embraced by the Papacy. Wouldn’t it be enough to get a position as my attendant?”
“…!”
What the hell?
Is this bastard telling his father and him to be his servants?
However, with a smile, Kina Berit passed by Shuri, tapping his shoulder. Behind him, naturally, the Papal attendants joined.
At the same time, Kina Berit recalled what happened at the Papacy. It was clearly the praise of the scholar who had seen Isaac.
-Your Excellency, I saw it. Master Isaac has controlled the Skeleton King’s magical power! He even strengthened the power of the Holy Spirit!
He was a person who rarely praised others.
But it must be a fluke. After all, with that baby body, it would be difficult to get on the list of future priests.
Moreover, Kina’s father, a Cardinal, already said that he wasn’t even a rival.
But why?
-Perhaps he could be the one to save the Holy Empire.
Kina couldn’t help but be worried.

“Ah! These damn bastards!”
Returning to the dormitory, Shuri couldn’t help but clench his fists.
‘Damn, I can’t do anything, because both of them are members of the 5 great Dukedoms.’
Shuri endured it for the sake of his father and Eshua’s dignity, but it was still infuriating.
And it was true that he couldn’t defeat both of them with his current abilities.
‘Well, what’s important now is not that.’
The city was already bustling with people on the Founding Day, as if everyone had gathered to witness the Pope candidates would be ordained priests.
Well, it was natural that they wanted to see their future master.
The problem was the historical event!
In that glorious place that everyone was paying attention to!
No one from his family came!
Shuri felt sorrowful.
‘All because of that damn brat!’
Everyone was busy searching for Isaac, who had run away from home!
In the end, Shuri also kept searching for Isaac until the end, and barely made it back to the Academy.
‘Well, I didn’t think that brat would just obediently stuck in Eshua.’
In fact, Shuri already knew. His family deliberately tried to prevent Isaac from being ordained a priest.
‘Well, that brat, I knew he’d explode in personality sooner or later.’
What kind of priest is he?
He should be a demon.
In the end, Shuri brought the luggage bags that the servants had sent to the dormitory in advance.
‘Just sit and get character education at home.’
But what is he going to do after running away from home?
In the first place, it was impossible for Isaac to leave the Eshua territory.
Because without a pass, no one could pass through the control point in the first place.
‘He will be caught before he reaches the capital anyway…’
“…Ugh, why is my bag so heavy? What else did my father put there…?”
The moment he grumbled and opened the door.
“You idiot. Why didn’t you open it earlier?”
“?”
Shuri felt his eyes deceiving him when he looked inside the bag.
“What the hell are you doing, why are you so late?”
“??”
“Ah, don’t you hear me! Kim Shuri. Quickly take me out. Oh, I need to go to the bathroom, I might run.”
“?????!!”
“Why are you looking at me like that, idiot?”
Shuri screamed at the sight of Isaac inside his bag instead of his belongings.
