The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 93



Only Krnovel

“Ugh. It’s cold.”

Winter, who got off the train, kept rubbing her arms. It was a cold day, not even comparable to the slightly warmer Museion Island.

“Let’s change clothes.”

Other than the arrival of Duhane’s death squad, nothing much happened. I stayed relaxed most of the time, and Winter used the intermission to study.

At my words, Winter quickly took out a thick jumper from her backpack.

“This is ‘Nineprio’.”

Winter looked around at the pure white surroundings and was amazed. When we arrived at the city called ‘Nine Prio’, we first headed to the inn.

A strange city where snow piles up even in summer. Winter could not stay still for even a moment in the unusual sight of snow.

“Take a good rest today. “I’m going to head to the Holy Land tomorrow.”

Winter finally came to his senses and headed to the room assigned to him. After roughly unpacking his luggage and sitting down on the first floor, Winter came to visit him soon after.

“Can I leave my luggage like this?”

“uh. “I just need to buy winter clothes and crampons.”

Since I was hungry, I ordered some food. I was thinking of having an early dinner while I was at it.

Winter, who ordered food after me, asked if I needed any more preparations.

“this.”

“What?”

“Father Dickey wrote it down because he thought it would be needed.”

Winter handed me a small piece of paper from the product. The neatly folded paper had long, neat letters written on it.

“Who is Dike?”

“… … Priest Karata. “That incredibly handsome blond man I met at the auction house.”

“Ah. Junior.”

I read the list, ignoring the cold, frozen snow of Winter. Most of it was there.

Dickey was kind enough to briefly explain why the item was needed.

“What are you going to do when you go to the Holy Land?”

“First of all, Ira’s eyes, two.”

Winter asked with a happy smile as she watched me carefully read the list.

I roughly shrugged my shoulders and answered. The first thing we need is Ira’s eyes. It was an item that Berenice had requested on a long evening.

“Two?”

“Aren’t we going to make holy water?”

“ah…….”

Winter, who knew about the deal with Bereninche, asked back. After hearing my answer, Winter nodded.

Ira’s Eye was an artifact that could only be found in the Bible.

It is not difficult to obtain, but it is a rare item as it requires qualifications. It is usually used to make holy water.

“It would be nice to have a holy water source too.”

The Anaye sect is not a healing sect, so it is not particularly great, but it is useful if you have it.

“And then what?”

“I need to do a ‘trial’ once.”

Winter nodded heavily at the word ordeal.

An in-depth advancement for a commonly referred to religious character. If a paladin advances to a more advanced level through a test similar to the one I took at Ash Tree, a priest will advance to a higher level here.

“I’m sure you will pass.”

“… … yes!”

In fact, it is a test that Winter, who can be considered the only priest, must take. Winter smiled confidently at my words.

“While you’re at it, you should also go sightseeing, and since there are places where you can pray, you should also pray a little.”

“Prayer is good. It is the foundation of all religions.”

Winter was excited to hear that it was a famous prayer spot. In reality, Winter was the only one who prayed there regularly.

Worden didn’t really have that concept yet, and I only prayed when necessary.

“Ugh.”

As soon as I had an impure thought, the Bible appeared above my head. A blow from the weight of a thick book hit my head.

It was amazing how Anaye could sense things like a ghost. Winter welcomed the Bible that had finally appeared.

“ruler.”

“thank you!”

I handed it over willingly. Winter took the Bible with utmost care and stroked it with affection.

When Winter received the Bible, the writing on her body also appeared. Seongpil appeared in his hand, found the Bible, and started acting cute.

“uh.”

“hmm.”

Winter smiled happily at the sight of Seongpil acting coquettishly towards Seongseo.

As I was looking at the cute object, the Bible suddenly opened violently and struck Seongpil.

“… … It was tea?”

“It’s, uh. It’s an object… … .”

I quickly snatched up Seongpil, who was thrown helplessly. Seongpil in my hands was coiled up pitifully like a weeping snake.

Winter let out a sound of disbelief at my bewildered words. As if nothing had happened, Seong gently opened himself up to Winter.

“Various things… … Ugh!”

As I said a word while looking at the Bible, which at first glance looked fresh, the Bible jumped up.

The speed was faster than expected, and if I made a mistake, I almost got my ears slapped.

“Let’s eat.”

The Bible fell silent as the food came out just in time. To be precise, it became quiet because of the beer that came with the food.

I took a deep sigh and served the beer on a wide plate. Winter lifted the spoon with empty eyes as she watched the Bible soaking in water.

“I’ll buy what you need.”

After finishing my early dinner, I got up straight away.

No matter how good the train’s facilities were, they were nothing compared to the beds. I was planning to buy some necessary items and rest.

“ah. “I’m going with you.”

Winter quickly finished what was left and got up. When he went outside, he saw a clear sky even though it was snowing.

“The weather is nice.”

“Yeah. If you do it right, you might even see the Aurora.”

Winter looked really happy at the word Aurora. In this world, magic and nature are very closely connected.

There were also cases where what were called natural phenomena had a great influence on magic. Among them, the Aurora was a particularly mysterious natural phenomenon.

“Oh, I wish I could see it.”

“Although the probability is low.”

Winter pursed her lips as she saw me adding a negative comment.



“Eisen.”

“I wore them.”

Behind Nineprio was a huge mountain range. The mountain range stretched horizontally and its peak was obscured by harsh snow clouds.

We checked our equipment one last time at the entrance provided at the beginning of the mountain range.

“There is plenty of dry food. And water is fine.”

“Clothes. It’ll be colder than this.”

There was no wind at the moment, but a little further up, a fierce snowstorm began.

I was able to endure it, but it wasn’t a winter where my physical ability was relatively weak. It might be a little hot now, but it was better to start fully prepared.

“Um. Just a moment.”

Winter took two scarves out of her backpack, thinking that being more thorough was better.

He wrapped a red scarf around his neck and handed the blue scarf to me.

“Here you go. Honestly, I think the outfit is light.”

I received it without comment. As Winter said, my clothes were relatively lighter.

Since I had to lift more weight and had an adaptable body, I adopted a lighter outfit that would be more helpful in combat.

“Honestly, I wonder if there will be a fight.”

I shook my head at Winter’s words. At first I thought so too.

What kind of monsters live in such a harsh natural environment? Isn’t there a threat? But I quickly shook off //the worry//.

“Is the poisonous swamp a good place to live?”

“Oh, I see.”

Winter quickly agreed. The swamp of Gehenna, called the poisonous swamp, was home to a wide variety of creatures.

They can adapt to even that much poison, but wouldn’t they be able to adapt to this cold? I left behind Winter, who nodded, and went ahead first.

“Ahh! Let’s go together!”

Winter quickly followed me as I left. Winter stayed closer than usual, just in case.

“It’s heavy.”

“If you don’t think you can lift it, tell me. “I’ll take it.”

Winter shook her head, her backpack now even more stuffed than it was when she came. There was a determined look on her face.

“That can’t be.”

“That’s amazing.”

He chuckled and took heavy steps. He pushed through the snow that barely covered his ankles. He dragged his shoes to make way for him.

Since my body was in good condition, I didn’t have any difficulties.

“If there is anything abnormal, tell me right away.”

“What’s more? ah. “Divine power.”

Winter immediately realized the intention. Divine power gradually disappearing. The sense of loss it brings.

Winter, her face hardened in fear, took out her silent bell at this moment. She skillfully tied the silent bell to the buckle of her backpack.

“It’s much better.”

The jingling of the bell as Winter moved brought peace to his mind and body.

I thought it was a pretty good idea, so I continued walking in silence. Many people who made pilgrimages to the Holy Land died.

“Senior, is it okay if you don’t have divine powers? But you’re an apostle, so it might be different.”

“I don’t know.”

50% of them take their own lives, unable to bear the sense of loss that comes from the exhaustion of divine power.

The remaining 45% were verbs related to the cold. I shrugged my shoulders at Winter’s question. From my perspective, as long as I was acquiescent, I didn’t have to worry about dying.

“It won’t make much difference. But Anaye’s skills all consume stamina, so that might be a little different.”

“surely.”

It was common sense that ordinary religious professions used divine power as magic.

Those who actually study it say that divine power is a different realm, and that divine power is a type of magical power.

“It could be quite difficult. “For you.”

“to?”

Humans in this world have biological magic flowing like biological electricity. I, too, experienced that loss in a small way.

The magic power paid in exchange for obtaining an adaptive body was indescribable.

‘If I had done something wrong, it could have been dangerous.’

It might have been dangerous if it weren’t for the deep sense of fulfillment that filled me instead of magical power. I cut off the distracting thoughts.

It never happened anyway. There was no need to bring it up.

“Long live the silence.”

“really.”

The weather started to get worse in an instant. The snow that was bearable suddenly turned into a blizzard. Her body became increasingly heavy.

The irritation that naturally arose was all blown away with a single ring of the bell. I couldn’t help but admire it.

“How long until the first shelter?”

Winter’s question made me stop in my tracks. I took out the map I had kept in my pants pocket. It was a map of the mountain range I bought yesterday.

“It should only take an hour or two to walk.”

“oh…….”

There were three shelters on the way to the entrance of the Holy Land. They were places of rest that people had created as casualties continued to increase.

There were shelters there to protect us from the snowstorm and the cold. We agreed to spend a night at each shelter.

“It’s two hours early. Shall we go to the next shelter?”

“no.”

Winter, who had been following along while holding on, gave his opinion. I shook my head. The night of the mountain appears quickly.

“Safety comes first. We have some time to spare anyway.”

“Yes, of course.”

Winter agreed without much opposition. Perhaps it tempered his self-confidence, bordering on arrogance.

“ah. Seniors.”

“why.”

“There may be an ancient temple in this mountain range.”

After walking in silence for a while, Winter must have been bored because he brought up a story he knew.

Judging from the fact that she still didn’t look out of breath, I realized that Bereninche had been training very hard.

“Temple?”

“Yes. Isn’t it fascinating? It seems to be an ancient religion.”

It was an interesting story. The ancient religion that Winter talks about. A story before the seven religions that are currently the center.

“Heavenly God and Earth Mother God?”

“yes. The ancient birth religions believed in only those two gods. Some say that those born to those two gods are the current seven gods.”

Since my goal was to clear the game, I was less interested in setting up this world view.

If I had known it would come like this, I would have studied quickly. It was also disappointing that they didn’t pay attention to the wizard character, saying that men are warriors.

“Of course, warriors are the best.”

“uh. Seniors.”

That doesn’t mean that wizards are good.

Winter pulled me out of my trance. I turned around as a hand tapped my backpack. Winter was staring blankly to the right.

“why?”

“Isn’t that a winter fox?”

Winter turned her gaze to where her finger was pointing. There was a fox with its head poking out of the snow.

“what. that.”

Winter foxes, which can be considered modern-day arctic foxes, also had white fur. And the ears were very big.

But the fox Winter was pointing at was a little different. It did have big ears, but its color was strangely white with a hint of pink.

“Oh my.”

The fox slowly approached us. It had red eyes and two tails.

I knew very well what the fox was. Winter held out her hand to the fox without fear.

“Wow. You’re so charming, senior.”

“… … .”

I closed my eyes tightly. The fox’s identity was a human. To be exact, a different race.

Aro, the fox priestess and sorcerer of the Far East. She appears on the pilgrimage in the form of a fox.
