28 – Admission (2)

Dia the mighty answered everyone, saying, I baptize you with water; but one mightier than I is coming, and I He is not worthy to untie the thong of his sandal. He will baptize you with the Fire of the Holy Spirit. His winnowing hand is in his hand and he will purge his threshing floor, gathering the grain into his barn, and the chaff that is not quenched. I will burn you with fire

Lydia 3:16, 17

“The 557th academy students~! Welcome to the Academy!”

The president appeared as if he were the host of a performance with his arms wide open.

Wakpa Huck Knock Jook.

Even if you look like a moderator….

With such short limbs like a child, it might be hard to say that he looks like a host.

Although she is a great sorceress who is old enough to hold the title of duke, she does not fit her specifications and her appearance is just that of a normal child. One… About elementary school?

Since he is the principal of the academy, it should be said that he is a character created for this and that.

[Deus Ex Machina] This character was very popular among users with a certain tendency.

Of course, even if it was like that, it was something that could be inferred from the fact that it appeared like that with the intention of the host.

It must have been the setting that they appeared every year with aggro.

No matter what, the president said, what is that?

If you are a person in the position of the president, don’t you act with a little weight?

Well, since the president looks like that, he feels cute and that’s why he’s attractive.

“President?”

“Huck knock juke!”

“That kid is the president?”

“Oh no way.”

“No, that’s right! My brother did it! The president looks like a kid!”

“It’s tradition that past presidents of academies look younger than their actual age.”

“Anyway, that’s too young? Aren’t you a kid much younger than us?”

“It’s just the appearance. Ahn must be a complete hag?”

“Nongjjuk!”

The banquet hall where she falls into chaos as soon as she sees her figure.

Actually, I was shocked that I already knew about her, but how shocked are these guys?

A fantasy world where the dignity and face of aristocrats are considered more important than life.

In such a place, the president of the only and best academy in the empire behaves like that.

After all, he is a human with the title of duke.

From noble mtl dot com

Isn’t it?

Is it just because of the severe appearance of the baby face?

“Nice to meet you everyone?”

Perfect

When the president flicked his finger, the light came back on in the banquet hall.

“Um…… It’s too noisy.”

Perfect

The banquet hall becomes quiet when you flip your fingers again.

Among the freshmen at the academy, there are those who have mastered magic, those who have anti-demon artifacts, and those who have excellent bodies, but they silenced all of them. With just one spell.

Unlike his usual eccentricity and appearance like a young girl, he is a great wizard with one skill.

Sunny, who was sitting next to me, also opened her mouth as if it was strange that the current situation where her voice was not coming out.

Well, when will I ever see such a wide range of high-level Silence magic being cast?

In [Deus Ex Machina], The main character arrived at the academy late, so I’ve never seen a scene like this before, but this is really fresh.

“Okay. Nice to meet you Empire’s only! And the best higher education institution in the empire! Welcome to Calandra Academy!”

Pung

The magic exploded like a fireworks at both ends of the banquet hall.

It was beautiful.

Do events in the world of magic feel like this?

…… This is fun.

Huh?

Is it because of my mood?

That girl’s eyes right now… It looks like you’re looking right at me.

You’re just looking around at the freshmen, right?

“For the next four years, you will be living in this academy. As everyone knows, it is an education for the future of the empire who will lead the empire according to the will of His Majesty the first emperor. So, please follow all the school rules of the academy and prevent useless incidents from happening.”

Isn’t it? It looks like you’re looking right at me.

Ah. Could it be because of Siren’s sister?

Well, since the academy put up a mess like that, it’s understandable.

Maybe if the president hadn’t been there, he wouldn’t have been able to stop his sister.

After her words, she touched the fish-shaped necklace that was hanging around her neck.

Fish?

Was Wakfa originally wearing a necklace like that? Why does it feel strange

I activated the magic in her eyes and studied her necklace closely.

Then the words engraved on the fish caught my eye.

ΛΧΘΔΣ

…… ! Did I see something wrong? ‘Rictodus’? That. Nonsense. Wakpa too? No when?

Five ancient Celestial letters.

Λουκ Χριστός, Θεοῦ Δεός, Σωτήρ, a character that resembles a password.

Translated, it means ‘Luke Christos, son of Deus, savior’.

In general, Christos, that is, a symbol used by high-ranking members of the Deus Church to secretly recognize each other.

Since it is a symbol that can only be used by those who are at least the level of an elder, even its existence is very secret.

Even among Christos, very few people know about the existence of this symbol.

At one point while Lydia was establishing and expanding her church, she sent me a letter.

She always asked for advice, and I gave her advice based on her past life memories.

Although highly educated in her previous life, this advice has increased Lydia’s confidence in me, thanks to the fact that she excelled at the level of advice that she knew at the superficial level of knowledge.

So this time, I thought it was that kind of advice, and it was unusually a request to give me a symbol that can be expressed as a believer in the Lord and a servant of the Lord.

At that request, I created a symbol by scraping out the memories of my previous life. It is a symbol of Christos newly created by naming it ‘Rictodus’, taking the motif from the symbol ‘Iktus’ used by early Christians on the earth of the previous life.

And as a symbol of this, a fish was presented.

After that, key officials of the church began to carry the symbol of ‘Rictudus’, but I would have thought that President Wakfa had also become a member of the church.

Scary Lydia.

…… Huh?

But why did you fiddle with ‘Rictodus’ while looking at me?

Was it to confirm that I was a key member of the church?

Me, just an academy student? Why?

There’s no way Lydia told her who I really was.

After watching me for a while and giving a congratulatory speech like a president who was not very nutritious, she took her eyes off me.

“… Now, wouldn’t it be too painful for such an old man to keep talking? Now, let’s start the banquet to celebrate the entrance! May you all enjoy!”

Perfect

As she snapped her dainty fingers again, appetizing dishes appeared one after another on the banquet table where we were sitting.

And at the same time, AoE Silence was released.

“Food! Appeared…….”

Surprised Sunny muttered in the seat next to him.

“Sure. Food appearing out of thin air.”

Perhaps, in the setting behind [Deus Ex Machina], Cooks in other places were summoned by magic after cooking.

It’s not a magic that creates food, but it’s such a wide range of summoning magic. This in itself is shocking.

* * *

Unfortunately, only extras who didn’t really care were seated at our table.

Well, I did talk to them during the banquet and made some acquaintance with them, but I wasn’t really interested.

The people I want to be friends with are from [Deus Ex Machina].

And the banquet was held in a way that everyone ate, drank, and enjoyed, and the entrance ceremony ended.

How could the entrance ceremony end like this without taking an oath and introducing faculty members?

I was curious about what it would look like since it didn’t appear in [Deus Ex Machina], But the settings were pretty rough. Is this the part that won’t come out anyway?

After the banquet, the first day of the academy began.

The first week of the academy is Orientation Week.

Several classes are held, and academy students can freely enter and take classes assigned to their grade.

And if you like the first class, you register for the class separately.

This academy’s class method is to organize a timetable like that.

It’s as if the university of the previous life comes to mind.

Although it feels much more free than that.

However, there was one mandatory class to attend, and that was the ‘Military Self-defense’ class.

It was a class created by the theory of the first emperor who established the academy, and it was a class that all academy students had to take every year.

People who lead the empire should be able to protect themselves without the help of others.

Thanks to that, even in [Deus Ex Machina], It was such a class that made it possible to experience combat even when there were no other incidents such as the attack of the followers of ‘Chaos’.

Still, the ‘Military Self-defense’ class is scheduled for two days, so you can just take the class you want to take today.

And I memorized the schedule and made dozens of plans to carefully select the classes I would attend in advance.

A class with some of my favorite characters or a class taught by my favorite professor.

Oh, yes. I see.

“Sunny. Have you decided which class to take for your first period?”

“Class?”

“Yes. Orientation starts today, so you have to pick a class that looks interesting. Is there anything you want to hear?”

“…… Luke is good I will follow you.”

I’m chasing good things? Something weird?

Even though Sunny seems to live a mediocre life, she is actually a girl who lives according to plan.

Follow me? Do you know what classes I will take?

“Okay. I’m thinking of taking an ‘Understanding Magical Engineering’ class for my first class, would you like to go with me?”

Nod

Sunny nods her head up and down.

Well, if you think about it, she’s taking her class with her, so good is good.

* * *

“President! What if you skip all the scheduled entrance ceremonies and end it! All the faculty and staff were ready to come out and introduce themselves, but they just started a banquet! Are you kidding me again? …… President? President~?”

No. It’s not like a joke.

The moment I saw him, I was taken aback and forgot everything.

Why is his aura familiar from the student.

Why does the Holy Spirit…… Did you feel it?
