chapter 20
class(4)
“Ronan-nim, is this really the subject you want to take…?”
Seeing even Celia saying that and looking at my course registration list with trembling eyes made me suddenly uneasy about my choice.
But Celia, seeing that scene, I decided to refrain from any action that could be related to a fight.
I thought back to the sparring between the princess and the knight commander that left an overwhelming impression on me.
It wasn’t the level of fighting I had imagined.
Now that I think about it, I don’t even know what I was imagining, but anyway, it wasn’t a fight that I could accept with my common sense.
First of all, it was difficult to even pursue the two of them.
Originally, human movement is hard to miss when viewed from the perspective of a third person.
A boxer’s fist or a pitcher’s ball, thrown at such a high speed that the opponent would feel like it had disappeared, can’t you see it from the side?
However, I could not follow with my eyes when I moved to another place while fighting in that wide arena.
The only sight I could see with my eyes was when the two entered a state of confrontation, even for a moment.
That’s all, the roar and shockwaves created every time they collided with each other suggested that the two’s dragon power was far beyond that of a normal human.
He fought while throwing swords and fistfights, so I’m sure the human I thought of him had already surpassed his limits.
The decisive moment was when the two broke down one side of the building while fighting.
As the fight intensified, even if it destroyed the building, I would almost have been hit by the blow that destroyed the building.
I didn’t react until the attack grazed my earlobe and brought down a side of the building.
It was only after the princess came to me, who had been contemplating after a fight, that I belatedly recognized the fact that I had almost died.
Well, there was no time to recognize the attack and defend with holy magic.
If the angle of attack had been a little worse, I would have died.
It was a different kind of horror from the cardinals trying to brainwash me, wearing a bomb collar, and receiving death threats.
These were fears that I could understand, and problems that needed to be addressed.
Would I be able to stop it if I deal with it like this? It was an object of overcoming.
On the other hand, what about this unreasonable level of physical violence?
Who the hell is thinking about how to survive a monster killer who doesn’t die even if he kills him like in a horror movie?
If such a thing really exists, the best way is to pray not to meet it.
It was kind of like a feeling.
If I had to come up with a way to counter it, I would have to use the protective holy magic that surrounds me.
But after blocking it?
I can’t even counter the attacks coming towards me, so I just have to defend myself by blocking everyone around me, but how else will the opponent hit me?
A large-scale magic technique that completely eliminates the space to avoid? While maintaining the magic technique that protects everyone around me? Why, just reinforce Orion and ask him to fight instead.
The ultimate goal of self-defense is not to create a fight in the first place, and the grandson said that winning without fighting is the best.
I will never fight for the rest of my life.
I’m going to live a sucking life like cardinals who have nothing to do with fighting.
Ronan is a good saint who hates disputes and quarrels.
Originally, he tried to solidify his position by building mutually beneficial relationships by promoting friendship with nobles and powerful people, but he changed his strategy.
It is the world in which armed forces are one of the elements that rise to a high position.
Communicating with high-ranking people in this world meant that the opportunity to encounter that irrational violence inevitably increased.
I have absolutely no intention of increasing that risk factor in a world like this where the whole world seems to hate me.

Let’s go to Bakdamae.
Through the appeal of petit bourgeois, it is to raise awareness among the common people to the fullest.
Of course, this is a world where the nobles who control the common people by intimidating them proudly claim their rights, but if I attract all the common people to my side, can I not notice them?
But what do I have to do to get in contact with the common people? Can I leave the church inside the academy and go to a church outside the academy?
To be honest, I just want to get away from the world.
I want to live in a secluded rural village while plowing the fields.
I have a dog, chickens and a cow when I can afford it.
He starts his morning with fried eggs made from freshly laid eggs and freshly squeezed milk, works hard by plowing the garden, and in the evening sits in front of the stove with his pet dog before falling asleep.
Yes, I made up my mind. After learning everything you will learn at the academy, let’s go back to farming.
“R-Nan-sama… Ronan-sama!”
“huh?”
The thought that started with the course registration form was leading to the delusion of returning to farming.
When I came to my senses, Celia was looking at me with a worried expression.
“Are you okay?”
“are you okay.”
actually not okay
The fight between the princess and the knight commander must have been a real shock. Enough to escape from reality with a delusion that was not worth it.
If I could go back to farming on my own, I wouldn’t be groaning here.
By the way, the delusion in the beginning of the previous life was obviously an adventure in another world with elves and beastmen, but it has degenerated to farming before I knew it. This is not a pleasant phenomenon at all.
“The subject was decided after careful consideration. However, Celia doesn’t have to tailor the subject to me. It’s an opportunity that won’t happen again, so find a class you want to take.”
I chose the subjects because I wanted to avoid the attention of the nobles and appeal to the common people, but according to social norms, it was safe to say that there was no benefit to be gained by taking the subjects I chose.
As I said, this is a precious opportunity that won’t come again for Celia, but it’s a waste to blow it like this.
As a member of the church, there will be some restrictions on the choice, but no matter what you choose, there will be absolutely no less things to be gained here.
“The subject I want to take is the one Ronan-nim takes!”
I’m very happy with that loyalty towards me, but it shouldn’t be like that.
“Celia. I can’t take charge of your life.”
With a stern expression on his face, he begins his sermon.
“There is no one in the world who can represent someone else’s life. You have to take responsibility for your own life. The experience here will definitely help that life. But do you still want to blow it up?”
“but…”
Confused emotions settled in Celia’s heart.
Yes, it must be confusing. It is natural for society to emphasize obedience to those of a lower status than oneself.
As much as I have the condition of being a saint, I don’t want to express any complaints about it, but right now I’m busy taking care of myself.
If you don’t have the confidence to take responsibility until the end, you should at least make a hole to live on your own.
And above all.
“If you can’t decide, think about what subjects you can learn will help you.”
Disguising good intentions, she subtly reveals her true feelings.
When subordinates are competent, the boss is comfortable. This is just an unchanging truth regardless of the times.
“This is a command. Do your best to find out what subjects you want to take, and choose at least one more.”
After nailing it down like that, Celia, looking downcast, nodded slightly.
From nob le mt l. com
Learn hard for me, Celia. The more competent you are, the more likely I am to play and eat!
I choose easy subjects that are not noticeable, suck honey, and delegate everything that seems difficult and difficult to my subordinates. Is there anything more ideal than this?
Is this the sense of fulfilling the self-interest that the priests of the corrupt church feel?
* * *
Unfortunately for Ronan, the fact that Ronan had taken the Life Sciences subject did not put a brake on Ronan’s interest in him, rather it poured all the fuel on the blazing fire.
Of course, no one would care if someone told me to take subjects in general life that no one would normally choose.
Even if you get to know it, it will go beyond that your hobby is eccentric.
If you have a strong class consciousness, why are you learning such lowly subjects? You might despise him saying, “I have a low class.”
However, after the welcome ceremony, Ronan was already a keen interest in the academy’s every move.
Furthermore, the value of the name of a saint was still an object of reverence, unless it was a high-ranking member of the church who had rotted away.
It was difficult for the human race to fully realize his status as a saint who had only reappeared after a few hundred years, but everyone had the sense that he was a really great person.
“Sorry, sorghum, the apprentice saint is taking my class?”
“Why? Why? Why? Could there be something wrong? It doesn’t make sense unless there’s a huge mistake.”
“Hey, can I quit my professorship? No? I see. Then can I take a long sick leave? It really hurts. My stomach…my stomach hurts…yes? Get healed by the apprentice saint? You devil. ..!”
“Oh, please look at my situation. How the hell are you going to teach the saint how to hoe? If I’m dragged to the stake, will you defend me? Are you averting your eyes now? Don’t look away, you bastard!”
The professors who were notified that Ronan had registered for the course could feel what it was like to feel the sky turning yellow.
In the extreme, professors in all subjects of life were no different from day labor instructors hired by the academy to maintain the name of diversity in subjects.
Even if it was only in the field of pure academics, those with specialties among the nobles with deep interest in the field or the wealthy with eccentric hobbies held professorships, but professors in all subjects of life were no different from ordinary people who were just making good money.
All of a sudden, they were at a loss as to what to do when they were ordered to teach chores by covering them with dirt and flour to someone comparable to, or perhaps even nobler than, the imperial family.
“What? Cooking? Farming? An apprentice saint…maybe…crazy…”
“Enough with that. That’s a colossal blasphemy. Everyone understands that feeling, so don’t say anything more.”
“It was a persimmon that I couldn’t eat at the Faculty of Magic, so wouldn’t it be nice to have that persimmon fall into the dung heap on its own?”
“Oh, what are you saying so harshly? It’s a pity that we, as human beings before being wizards, take such courses as apprentice saints.”
Wow Jangchang!
“Why are you like that?”
“In the Department of Medicine, after the welcome ceremony, they say that there is a great deal of interest in the correlation between the holy man’s divin art and the human body. When I took a course that was even slightly related, I tried to get involved somehow and try to seduce him… As you can see.”
The professors of the subjects that Ronan had not applied for, and which are generally requested by students at the academy, all became dogs chasing chickens and watched the situation in vain.
For a professor, the number of students means his or her position in the school, and it goes without saying that great beings like the saint and the princess, who have no choice but to provide convenience to the academy.
The professors, who were secretly expecting to apply for their own courses, were busy whispering whenever they gathered at Ronan’s unimaginable travels, where he selected and applied for only the courses that he had never considered as a subject of competition.
“I think this is a bit advantageous. Landscaping is one of our strengths.”
“Princess. It was a course opened purely for the purpose of aesthetics at the academy, but it might not be a little different from our doctrine of respecting nature…”
“Are such trivial things important now?”
“Isn’t it because you haven’t learned metallurgy? How can I get there…”
“Oh my God… that kind of thing to listen to after showing that much grace? This is a waste of talent. I have no idea who to put in.”
“It’s a bit disappointing to miss out on hunting.”
“I wonder if horseback riding isn’t something we can confidently ride on.”
Among the subjects Ronan applied for, the priests of different races were busy counting the subjects that could appeal to them.
They decided not to complicate whatever eccentricities Ronan performed or not.
In the first place, the will of a saint is the will of God. It is a law that a clergyman should not try to judge the meaning in the middle of the day.
Through their saints, they each knew that every act that could be called an eccentricity had a reason.
If the saint did such a thing, there must be a reason, they just thought of increasing their interactions with the saint.
“Have you heard? The apprentice saint is taking a cooking class.”
“It’s not just about cooking, it’s about farming, mending, horseback riding… I hear you only pick and choose useless subjects?”
“What is it, did you originally live doing only those things in the main office?”
“Then shouldn’t I rather choose something different?”
“But can’t we teach you the basics of horseback riding?”
“It’s useless… I don’t know if it’s combat horseback riding, but the basic horseback riding subjects are really useless at all.”
“Still, isn’t that the only benefit if you make a connection with the saint?”
There was an untimely commotion among students about course application.
Of course, since it was impossible to apply for courses during the semester, all of them were rejected, but because of that, the saint’s actions began to become more and more of interest to students.
“Maybe. Orion-sama, do you like a self-sufficient life?”
“Plowing fields, raising sheep, and picking fruit? I don’t think I can do that…”
“Then, isn’t it amazing that a trainee saint who can do that with a noble body?”
“Is that how it works?”
Celebrities receive applause even when they poop, and it was human physiology that people would want to do it even more if they were told not to.
Students began to ponder whether it is very noble and valuable to engage in a livelihood.
And the priests of the Church of Orion, the only group with any possibility of controlling this situation at all…
“Look at the subjects the apprentice saint has chosen. It’s really lamentable.”
“Isn’t this what’s going to hinder our missionary work?”
“It’s better than apprentice saints being over-examined. As we lack apprentice saints, we have to work hard.”
“If you choose only those subjects, the Empire will have no way to do anything. Maybe it’s a very clever display of loyalty to the Order.”
“It’s true after hearing it. It might have been because the saint is smarter than his age.”
“Then, let’s just let the apprentice saint do what he wants. If you have strong faith in the church, it’s best.
“Of course. The revival of the church is in our hands anyway. Let’s focus on specific missionary plans.”
I was just doing ‘Orion Bridge’.
