The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 91. Because even if you can’t be loved, you can love.

‘Don’t be afraid of sin. Human beings were born incapable of being free from evil…….’

The phrase that decorates the beginning of the gospel passed down in a denomination.

Those who followed that teaching emphasized that God created the world for humans, but humans were reborn as ugly beings because they broke the established rules.

In fact, human societies stretching all over this continent are full of what can be called ‘sin’ without exception.

At the time when ugliness began to exist everywhere the eye could see, the man who called himself a child born of heaven walked the path of martyrdom while embracing all the original sins of mankind.

Saint Yeshua. The doomed savior who died on the cross among the crowd who worshiped sin.

Around the time his body was buried, the disciples who followed him could not hold back their tears, but before they knew it, one news came between them.

‘Yeshua’s body, which was closely guarded, disappeared overnight.’

‘Isn’t there no way to explain that you can’t find a trace anywhere the human eye can reach, unless it’s soaring into the sky?’

A story that the crowd, who considered the word “Heaven gave birth” To be a false propaganda, feared it.

However, unlike the crowd who were afraid of the repercussions that would come soon, the twelve disciples who followed him looked down at the empty coffin and began to solidify their hope.

‘He is alive.’

‘Heaven took pity on his nobility and took him away.’

‘So he will always be by our side, he will always be watching over us.’

Even though the body has disappeared, the teachings will be passed on to this world from generation to generation.

The 12 disciples, who sensed the existence of the saint from that memory, dispersed with their respective missions in their arms, preached the gospel to various parts of the continent, and repeated the promised name endlessly.

Cult Ragrid.

It is a force that worships the saint known as born in the sky as a god, and the largest church on the continent with the largest number of followers except for Heide.

And at the beginning of the War of Conquest, a force that had a bad relationship with a family in the empire.

“Yes, our church committed too many sins in the past.”

A prayer room located in the church.

A middle-aged man who was reciting a prayer in front of a stone statue there, at some point began to express his guilt.

“At the time when everyone felt confused, I did something very shameful for someone with shoes on their backs. But even so, we are the ones who wanted to inherit the ideology of those who were active at the time… So, we must also take responsibility that came from that time.”

Is that a confession to God? Or is it atonement for the same human being?

Neither way, it’s not a lie.

As soon as they do something that harms their values or conscience, the absoluteness of their faith is cut off.

“The era when many people yearned for salvation is long gone… …. Now we will have to take time to reflect on all the sins we have committed in the past and comfort the victims.”

Archbishop Mathias.

He was ranked next to the pope in the Church of Lagrid, and he was more noble than any other clergyman in the city, so everyone believed him.

“As well as the bad relationship with Berthaille, who was one of the victims.”

After such a man finished praying, the one in the place where he looked was a woman.

She was neither a member of the church nor a person who came to the church seeking salvation.

A black cloth outfit boasting a wide area for each part, a sword hilt worn around the waist, etc…

A woman armed with something that is difficult to see even in modern times when the boundaries between countries have begun to blur, it is not strange to misunderstand that she has just become an adult if you look at her from the outside.

“But I never thought that Berthaille’s current owner would respond to my request for that.”

But Mathias knew the identity of her opponent.

That she has lived so long that she has seen both the beginning and the end of the war of conquest that took place half a century ago.

“… Please watch her mouth.”

But Celia didn’t react much to his guilt.

Just still with her arms crossed.

She

Puts her weight on the pillars of her back, only mentioning the discomfort.

“Now I have set foot in this land as ‘a vassal of Berthaille and an envoy representing the family’. Please don’t forget that the duke is still using his energy to manage the estate while establishing a foundation.”

“Oh, yes. It was.”

In fact, it is known that the sword of the empire is still guarding the territory.

In order to make such news true, from the moment she left her territory, she was not a nobleman, but a mercenary who entered Bertayu’s vassal after completing training in a foreign continent.

Although it is unknown for what reason she set foot in this place herself, it could be considered an opportunity for La Grid, who wants her relationship with the Berthaille family to be harmonious.

“Yes, I will also take this opportunity to do my best for the harmony between Berthaille and Lagrid. I wish you well until the work is over. Mr. Seolhwa.”

With that in mind, she greeted her with formality and respect, but Celia didn’t give Mathias any other answer and headed her steps outside her temple.

She wanted to show only her face to let her know that she had visited anyway.

As long as she was the other person, she had no intention of having a long conversation.

“To promote harmony in order to end the bad relationship of the past… ….”

The time his mouth opened, his presence disappeared and he eventually escaped from the temple.

Celia whispered softly, and her gaze began to move around her chacha.

Lights filling the streets under the rainless sky.

The marble and glass statues that reflected the light gave off a sense of sacredness, but it didn’t look very good to my eyes.

“A very good era. Yes, the day comes when the bloody lump that was sucking on her mother’s milk at that time puts those words in her mouth.”

It is their teaching that human beings are born evil, but what those who serve gods actually do is hide such ugliness in the light.

Isn’t that a heinous thing indeed?

***

Yeah, it’s already been 40 years.

At the time, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness due to a genetically inherited disease.

My father poured a lot of things into the church to save himself, but it was impossible for him to be cured even if any priest came.

At the time, it was considered that the only means of treatment was to rely solely on divine power, but the divine power based on restoration would even restore innate disabilities.

However, divine power itself is considered to be the power bestowed by the gods.

Religious people at the time regarded those who could not accept the power as disrespectful, and those who were born with disabilities were even treated as being cursed by the gods.

Considering the times, this is unavoidable.

From noble mtl dot com

Celia understood that too.

Unbearable is what they did to their husbands.

The church is not enough to accuse a boy who tried to save itself as a heretic, but to send them to the frontlines as an arrowhead as a prisoner.

‘How can human hands save those who could not be saved by divine miracles? That in itself is tantamount to mocking the god we serve.’

Isn’t that a very arrogant idea?

Even if a perfect being gave it its power in the first place, it’s what they call an ‘imperfect human’ who deals with it.

If you are faithful to the feelings you feel from the past, you can even dare to behead everyone in the church right now.

“Is that person from a foreign country?”

Of course, the people here may not even be aware of it.

“It seems that the denomination has changed a lot. Invite people from other continents to come here.”

“It should be seen as a good sign. Hopefully her teachings in La Grid will have a good influence on her.”

The place where she currently travels, where only those who belong to Lagrid are allowed to move in, passers-by begin to greet her one by one.

Respect that does not expect compensation is itself a model for religious people.

Even though her body wasn’t so mellow enough to move her heart that much, she just kept walking down the street, even outwardly responding to them.

‘Anyway, I have to hide my identity now, so I shouldn’t be making noise for nothing.’

If my identity is revealed, the annoying emperor might send an army.

Of course, with such an army, I could just kill them all no matter how many come, but wouldn’t my husband’s position be in trouble if I did everything possible?

‘That’s okay, because I can’t make Shion worry.’

Yes, that is the only reason I show mercy to those heinous cultists.

With such thoughts in mind, we arrived at the fountain located in the center of the Lagrid district.

It is the most spacious place in the area as it is a plaza, but it was empty with no one on the street, perhaps following the set worship time.

Has the opponent not come yet? Celia, she thought, took the time to look up at the sky alone with her arms crossed.

‘First of all, as the emperor said, I asked for cooperation to enter the city, but since I have to hide my identity, I thought I needed to help them with their activities.’

The current setting is that he is not the Duke of Bertaille, but a vassal who pledged allegiance to Bertaille and a mercenary wandering the continent.

For the perfect camouflage, it was necessary to carry out the orders of the superiors as an envoy of the family and a low-ranking mercenary.

‘Honestly, I don’t feel like it, but… I guess I’ll have to endure it for the sake of Shion, who will lead Berthaille in the future.’

His own love, his everything, and his reason for being……

The love I feel for him cannot be replaced by any wealth or person. Celia believed that her own values were never wrong.

Except for one thing, the fruit of being connected with him.

‘And for the sake of that child.’

A faint smile was drawn on her lips as she recalled its existence.

A smile with both joy and bitterness.

‘Still, since she’s a child I taught, I thought she wouldn’t be in bad shape…But… It’s a pity, she still hates me.’

Is it because I thought I was too young and talked less?

No, even if I tell you in detail, you might not understand.

Now, after more than 10 years, she said anything she said would only sound like an excuse to that child.

“It’s okay. Even if you can’t be loved, you can still love.”

She tried to keep her smile while keeping her heart full of affection in her arms, but even that ended up sinking beneath her.

No matter how much one is prepared for infinite love, the fact that the heart is not reciprocated is inevitably a painful thing in reality itself.

“You look troubled.”

When I was immersed in such feelings, I could feel the presence from the side.

As soon as she sensed it, the sword at her waist turned into light.

-Kwaaang!!!

A violent explosion erupted from the point where the ends collided.

An absurd force that makes it impossible to think that swords collided.

At that impact, the air around the fountain rang loudly, but there was no sound of flesh being cut.

Although the attack was only a check, the opponent succeeded in completely defending the attack.

‘Shield… ….’

The moment the repulsive force attacked the hand holding the sword.

Reflexively widening the distance, Celia lowered her stance and looked at her opponent while leading her.

‘…No, it’s a book.’

It was a thick bible that protected the opponent’s head.

The soft light leaking from the surface indicated that the book had changed its nature through magic using divine power.

‘The shield of Labarum……. Is it a sacred law handed down in Lagrid?’

Gender law.

Unlike witchcraft or magic, which are mainly used by religious people, it is not a technology with a clear principle.

If I had to question it, would it be that Halo, which corresponds to the god, projects its will into the memory and realizes something determined through mana drawn to it?

Of course, it is not possible to control it specifically like magic because it is to implement records, but on the contrary, if there is an object with religious meaning, it is not impossible to strengthen faith and generate power comparable to that of a god.

However, to use the Bible, which is the subject of such faith, on the guard itself.

If you don’t have enough confidence to perfectly parry my attack, wouldn’t it be unthinkable?

‘He’s a kid with buds visible.’

Celia, slightly interested, studied his figure, maintaining her grip on her sword.

A man in a priestly uniform. Will I be the same age as my daughter?

Behind the glasses he was wearing, he had wide eyes and thick dark circles, but apart from his decadent appearance, he had talents that were few and far between among the religious people he had ever met.

‘Hey, if we get married, it’ll be safer to be someone stronger than that kid. Taking a test to see if he’s suitable as a son-in-law…….’

At that thought, the moment I unconsciously reached for the handle of the sword again.

“Please release the hostility.”

A man who frowns at such behavior and opens his mouth.

It was a voice that felt more tired than unpleasant.
