chapter 24
class(8)
I never thought I would get back to school.
Dazedly lost in thought, I looked around so as not to be noticed.
People here, people there.
There were so many people wandering around that I wondered if this was a space for young people enjoying their lives.
To be honest, when I was taking classes, it was too much to look at me because there were only a few people gathered in a relatively small space.
Maybe it’s because there are a lot of people here, but even though I’m here, I still feel a sense of crowded life.
…Well, there’s no one around the table I’m sitting at.
Is this bullying or is it bullying?
I should have taken the pre-lunch class with Celia.
At least I’ll just go get a meal with the princess.
The elf princess caught up with her after class and suddenly accepted the offer to sit in the princess’s seat in order to be away from her for a while, and this is what it looked like.
That princess is too burdensome. Unlike me, she’s a real person, so I think you’ll notice something strange right away when you talk to her.
Anyway, it is a place where aristocrats frequent, so does it make sense that meals are distributed.
At least I thought the food would be spread all over a large restaurant like in Harry Potter.
Since the undergraduate curriculum is very central, everyone has different meal times, so in terms of efficiency, I think this is correct, but I feel betrayed…
The surroundings are empty, but the gazes felt from afar are burdensome, so I was wandering around thinking about various miscellaneous things.
“Oh my God! Ronan apprentice saint! Nice to meet you.”
There was a group approaching me talking to me.
Wow, didn’t they already walk off the stage as extras?
Alter. Lennox. Damien.
The three hated people showed up again.
But why did the number of people increase?
They are like peacocks trying to appear strong by inflating their bodies.
A quick glance revealed that the other children were not priests, but nobles.
It looks like you’ve adapted well and are living. You guys aren’t very happy.
“It’s been a while. Alter-sama. Lennox-sama. Damien-sama.”
“It’s been a long time. It makes me sad. Ronan Apprentice Saint.”
I think I know why they came to me when I see the trio who are embarrassed when they say their names after saying that they haven’t seen each other in a long time.
I can feel the déjà vu at the place where I reincarnated and met the apprentice cadets for the first time.
Even calling him a probationary saint was so obvious that he even felt nostalgic.
Perhaps he wants to show off his closeness to the other children around him…
I took a moment to gauge their value.
Now that they’ve left the main office, the need for these guys has diminished. If it had been a few days ago, the nobles next to them weren’t a very attractive option either.
Still, just being the cardinal’s grandson is still useful, so let’s grease it. Maybe we’ll be able to use it someday.
“I’m glad you said that. Are the three of you on the way after taking classes?”
He said something that seemed moderately friendly, and he clearly focused on the three people rather than the others around him.
“Yes. The reason we came here is to spread Orion’s will, but isn’t it also to acquire deeper knowledge?”
“Even if it’s not theology, isn’t there no end to learning?”
Anyone who hears it will know that you are the pillars in charge of the church.
If you continue like this, you will easily succeed to the post of cardinal, so the pillar is right. It’s because the root of that pillar is rotten.
“I see. It’s nice to see you working hard. But the people next to you…?”
Now, can you talk moderately, introduce the kids next to me, and then leave?
If it was to gain the favor of the nobles, he would have led the conversation by reciting the names floating above his head, but he didn’t have to do that, so he gave the three of them a reason to brag.
If it’s the justification that you gave me a full name with a probationary saint, it’s enough to show off in the crowd.
Eat this and fall.
“hahahaha, what’s so urgent? Ronan’s apprentice saint must have taken the class. Apparently, he seems alone, but sit with us and talk calmly.”
“That’s right. Aren’t you curious about the class we took today? The world is much wider than Ronan apprentice saint thinks and is full of hidden principles.”
…These idiots, I heard a lot of nonsense after listening to politics, economics, diplomacy, etc., which are often heard by nobles.
The hidden principle of the world. Did Adam Smith preach the invisible hand theory here too?
On top of that, while showing off my close friendship, the guys I accompanied are looking at me as if they were revered around me when I was in the church.
I never had the heart to back down with a single piece of meat I threw.
It was more annoying than I thought…
While I was contemplating how to get rid of these troublesome guys, the princess and the princess returned just in time.
“Saint Ronan. Who are these people?”
When the princess asked me that and handed me a tray of food, I felt embarrassed stares from the crowd.
Did you see? The person who shuttles meals to the imperial princess. That’s me. Can you feel the difference in power?
“The apprentice priests and their friends who took classes with me.”
Wouldn’t this be enough for the princess who knew that I was less loyal to the Order than she thought?
Please kick them out instead of me.
The princess’s eyes quickly scanned the faces of the three and the guys next to them.
After seeing the trio, he harbored unpleasant feelings, but was relieved when he saw the aristocrat’s children.
Relieved? Why reassurance? It’s really annoying when the princess asks to join us.
“Were you saying hello?”
“It’s like that.”
“It just happened that we were about to eat too.”
In this situation, I’m going to go to the middle of the day. You guys are so amazing too.
“Let’s have a seat next time. We’re going to eat now, so I’d like you to step away.”
However, the princess refused with a single knife to the extent that the three of them felt ashamed.
“Ha, hahahaha…Princess. We are old friends of Ronan apprentice saint.”
The princess looked at me as if she was right.
Of course it’s not, but I’m saying I’m not here directly.
The princess was very upset, so I didn’t think she would let me join her even if I said yes.
Then I can wrap my mind around it.
Princess, drive me away!
Thinking about that, he smiled vaguely and nodded his head.
As expected, the princess’s displeasure did not subside as she accepted my gestures straight away.
He seemed lost in thought, as if figuring out what to do.
It was then that an unexpected support shot came.
“Do you guys have a special status that I’m not aware of?”
The princess, who had been quietly observing the situation, asked the three of them.
Why all of a sudden…?
He was displeased with this situation to the extent that he even rivaled the princess, no more than that. Rather, it was a feeling closer to anger.
There was no one here who did not know the appearance of the elven princess.
Because at the welcome ceremony, he showed off a different level of holy magic.
“Well, we are apprentices of the Orion Church…”
It was natural for them to be confused when such a princess felt displeased and fired at them.
“So, how dare an apprentice to equal a saint? Is there a position I don’t know about?”
It wasn’t support fire, it was indiscriminate bombing.
It’s a remark that would make me hate you too.
Are you even going to say that? Were you a fanatic too?
“Ronan Apprentice Saint was originally an apprentice cadet like us.”
Hey, even though I’m like a trophy, can I just stop making remarks that could undermine my integrity?
“The Orion Church has its own rules!”
It’s the first time a probationary saint has been born. Where are the rules for that?
“Besides, we are of cardinal blood…”
Damian… It’s nice to see you’re consistent. I really want you to go up to the cardinal ranks. I think it’ll be a great excuse to attack the church later.
“stop!”
Even in the midst of this, it was admirable to see them steadfastly defending their position, but the princess cut them all off with a loud voice as if they were not the same.
His attention, which had been focused here from afar, peaked thanks to the princess’s voice.
Everyone inside the restaurant was looking in our direction.
“It doesn’t matter at all whether the saint was an apprentice or not, whether you are of cardinal blood or not. Is there a rule in the Church of Orion that says it’s okay to treat a saint like that? If so, it’s a rule that we, the Church of Ariel, can’t afford to ignore. At the next meeting, I have something to say. That’s a lot.”

Light green light began to flow from the princess’s body. It meant that she was raising her divine power.
“Princess Iris. Use of force within the academy is prohibited unless it is legal sparring. Calm down.”
Even the princess said so to the point of stopping her.
“That’s right, Miss Iris. Calm down your anger. I’m fine.”
If I didn’t do anything here, I’d be hated for it, so I pretended to defend the trio in moderation.
“Saint Ronan. Such a calm attitude has brought about this situation. You must be aware that there is a huge gap between a saint and an apprentice.”
The intention was to worry about me, but when I just listened to it, it was mixed with reprimands towards me, so I don’t think I’ll look bad at this.
Should I still do as much as I can?
“It’s because I’m not such a great person. Lady Iris. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”
“That’s why the saint’s mindset… has arrived. It’s not a problem that can be solved in a day or two. You guys there.”

Looking at me like that, the princess shook her head in pity, then turned her target back to the trio and the group of nobles.
“Never think of committing such a disrespect in front of my eyes again, for then it will not end like this.”
“This, this is religious interference that crossed the line.”
“That’s right. I will never go over like this.”
A trio of people protesting like that to protect even the last handful of pride.
“Get out of my sight right now.”
In the end, the guys rolled their tails and ran away at the princess’s determined voice that it was not worth responding to.
Oh, so it would be nice if you just gave the party a proper name and left when they told you to leave?
I hope they’re rational enough to remember that I stood up for them when they come to their senses later, when their shame turns to anger.
“I know Saint Ronan is big enough not to dwell on such rudeness, but there are many people in the world who look down on such an attitude.”
The princess, who had been coldly staring at the guys running away, looked at me again and gave me a vague look as if she were looking at her immature little brother.
“Saint Ronan must be aware of his position. To be under God means to be above man.”
A sense of class discrimination that pops out of the mouth of a religious person casually. It’s always strange to hear it. scared. It’s the best. Ah, my true heart.
“If you teach me, I will always appreciate it. But don’t be angry with others because of me. Rather be angry with me.”
I’m just saying this out of etiquette, so don’t be mad at me.
“…I’m afraid that the flawless jewel may be damaged. Princess Azalea’s mission is very important.”
“I agree.”
Why are the two of them forming a consensus besides me?
“Let’s eat now. Saint Ronan has classes in the afternoon, right?”
After watching the princess sit down first, she secretly thanked the princess.
A good impression always requires taking good care of these small details.
“Thank you for standing up for me.”
“I know the basic personal information of the priesthood. Aren’t those three grandchildren of the cardinal. Are they really friends?”
You knew that, so you reacted like that. Even though the princess ran out of control in the middle, it was cool that the princess hit the wall.
“That’s up to me to accept.”
I haven’t decided where to use it yet.
“But there were also children from aristocratic families, so wouldn’t it be a problem for the princess?”
It won’t be a problem for us, specifically for me, right?
“None of the people who hung out with them had any children from powerful families. All of them were mediocre people. There is no need to worry too much.”
That’s why you went out with peace of mind. As expected, the princess is a trustworthy partner.
“At first, I wondered if the quick-footed nobles had already moved. Please be careful from now on, Saint Ronan. The academy is a place where it is difficult to use your hands recklessly because of the complex intertwined interests, but many people are watching the saint.”
That’s why I deliberately chose subjects in general, but it was useless because of the different races…
If great people from other countries are taking useless classes because of me, I will have an interest that I didn’t have.
“Like Princess Iris said, let’s have a meal now.”
Following the princess’s words, I was about to start eating when I suddenly noticed.
Still, the majority of the people in the restaurant were paying attention to us.
It was an environment where you would feel sick if you swallowed even one spoonful. How the hell do you eat in this state?
Is it just me?
When he saw the princess and the princess, he casually started eating with a sophisticated look, as if he was used to such gazes.
It’s just me…
Is this the difference between commoners and royalty?
In the end, I couldn’t even eat properly.
Seeing that, it was dumbfounded to see the princess worrying about me again and looking at me with pity.
No, no matter how bad the church is, it will not starve saints.
It just doesn’t go over the rice.
As expected, what I said sincerely didn’t even matter.
