Chapter 183 – Dead Poets Society (7)
“As the head priest of the Daecheonsin Church, I cannot forgive the lord’s act of deceiving the Daecheonsin Church’s support project itself and destroying the educational spirit of the academy. How can humans be so sexually promiscuous and nasty? Your majesty. I strongly recommend the lord’s punishment. Please protect the innocence of the young girl attending the academy. Your majesty.”
“Well…”
The king of a country was hesitant despite my polite proposal. Why? He was making an expression as if I had proposed separatism, such as raising an army to kill the old people or separating all elves and dwarves to the extreme. Even after my words were over, he couldn’t easily say likes or dislikes.
“Your majesty?”
“Well… Okay. But if the lord dies, what will happen to that child named Matilda who is attending the academy? Would the aristocrats be willing to give back easily?”
“I will support you. With the salary of the priest, we can sponsor at least one student attending the academy.”
“Sponsorship… Peta Lucius Let’s find another noble other than you.”
“… Do you really mean it?”
Why? I said that I would support you, but why are you so upset that you are going to bring another noble to support me? The king waved his hand as if reading the question in my expression.
“Ahhh. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t trust you or anything like that. Got it? It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I’m trying to find out because I think I’ m putting too much burden on you, Peta Lucius. This incident has a great adverse effect on the trust relationship between Daecheonsingyo and the kingdom. Rather than you, the head priest of the Archangel Church, taking on the patronage, I think it’s more appropriate to show trust by having one of our nobles take on the patronage again.”
“I was impressed that you cared so much about our relationship with the Archangel Church. Your majesty. That you cared about. Thank you.”
It was a proposal with much better intentions than I thought. It was a thank you to me that I was careful not to use my money. It’s a bit unfortunate to miss the genius skipper girl’s helmsman, but the relationship between Daecheonsingyo and the kingdom is also important. The relationship between Daecheonsingyo and the kingdom had to be good so that I could earn a lot of money.
“Um, yes. Good night. But Lucius?”
As I finished my greetings and was about to conclude the conversation, the king spoke to me again. I nodded and looked at the king. The king cleared his throat once and then asked me.
“It must have been an offer out of concern for that child, right?”
The king’s expression of his was unimpressive. Are you treating me like a pedophile? I suppressed the repulsive feeling in my heart and replied with a bright smile.
“Isn’t it obvious, Your Majesty?”
“Done. If so, I will issue a separate order to the Knights of the Kingdom. You, Lucius, send a letter to the territory and order cooperation.”
“Yes. All right.”
The audience is over. As soon as I got back in the carriage and returned to my inn, I wrote a letter and sent it to the estate. It is unknown which knight will be assigned to this case, but now the fate of the Delmon estate has been decided. I hoped that the next lord to be appointed would be a kind and sincere person worthy of being next door to the head of the Daecheonsingyo Church.

“You look happy. Lord.”
“Absolutely. Today is my first academy class, right?”
The next morning. I couldn’t help laughing. Because it was the first day I stood in the church after coming to this world. I was nervous, but joy dominated my head first. It was a pity that it wasn’t a girls’ academy, but if I couldn’t touch it anyway, it was better to play at a boys’ school.
The wagon stopped at the entrance of the academy, went through the same pass and inspection as yesterday, and entered the fence. A guard took the reins of the wagon and led it in the direction of the boys’ school so that the coachman would not stray. Beyond the fence of the boys’ school, I could see the closed landscape of the girls’ school. All the windows were blocked with colorful stained glass, and the walls were not very high, so they were piled up to form a border.
“The wall is high.”
“I had no choice but to make it high because the brutes of the bloody knight families would jump over the walls.”
It seemed like the academy was no different from other students in terms of sexual desire. The closed look of the girls’ school and the free-spirited look of the boys’ school were already contrasting. In the yard garden of the boys’ school, there were young cool people taking a nap even during class time. They glanced at the wagon in which I was riding, then started talking among themselves again, as if they were not interested.
“What are those children?”
“I don’t know all the names of the sons of nobles, so I can’t explain them all. The person lying there is probably James from the Earl of Lionel.”
“Lioneal James. Where is the Lionel family?”
“The Lionel family is famous for producing the Kingdom Knights. Lionel Albus, the leader of the Knights of the Kingdom, was called the strongest swordsman in the Kingdom along with the Grand Duke of the North until the hero appeared.”
It meant to be eaten. In the first place, his name didn’t even appear in the original game, so it was definitely sewage. However, the figure of Lionel James lying on the floor could be said to be the prince himself in a romance comic. A sharp nose and burning red hair. And long limbs that could be modeled.
He must have had a bed in the dormitory, but seeing him lying on the grass and trying to sleep was crazy. I feel like I’m acting as a romance fantasy male protagonist alone, so I feel bad for no reason.
“Let’s go quickly.”
“Ah yes.”
I closed the window and decided not to care if I was a Lionel or a Lion. Seeing you outside at this time, you won’t have anything to do with me.
The first class was the high school class. When the scholar explained, it was middle school and high school, so of course I thought middle school would come first, but surprisingly it went the opposite way. When I looked at the teacher who came to guide me with a puzzled face, he asked back in bewilderment.
“Oh, haven’t you heard from me before? High school classes are scheduled first.”
“Ah yes. It really doesn’t matter.”
It really didn’t matter because I was just going to talk about the same thing anyway. The class was in the afternoon, but I went to the staff room early to make additional preparations. I had time to review and refine the content of my classes with the academy teachers. This was a very important process because if there was something that went against the educational philosophy of the academy, it had to be corrected right away.
No matter how much she did, she did not want to hear rumors that the academy had tarnished her education, so this time she prepared a really’educational’manuscript. If the story I really want to write can be summarized as ‘Northern War – If Ain was just a little prettier.
“Priest Lucius?”
5 minutes after I started editing, a teacher looked at my manuscript and raised her hand and spoke to me. He looked at me with a very puzzled expression and hesitated while holding the documents tightly. I asked with a smile.
“Why is that? It is for the education of children, so please comment without adding or subtracting.”
“In order to arm the knights, there is a part in which an infinite process of skinning a deity and regenerating the leather using a heel is carried out. Shouldn’t the description of this part be refined?”
Like the teachers at the academy, it seemed that this part was cruel. I shook my head and said.
“Isn’t that the most important part? None of the Northerners ever criticized me for being cruel. They were humans with a lot of hatred for the demi-humans. Can’t you see it on the back side?
‘It was a very savage and cruel treatment to the demi-humans, but no one was surprised by it. The northern children have swallowed people’s emotions. As the conflict between races deepens, only extreme solutions can be found. The battle that annihilated the northern demi-humans was not a great war of conquest, but a tragedy that burned up because the conflict could not be resolved.’
The reason I bothered to write that part was because I wanted people to look back on the people who fought terribly while doing killing and killing activities with the people of the northern mountains. If you only look at the good side of the world, you become a distorted human being rather than a good person. We need to face reality.”
It was a sentence I wrote because I thought it would be helpful to solve the problem of beastmen or mermaids later, if I sold my sensibility about the dispute between the two species over this problem while the children were all digging. In order to effectively appeal this theme, a skinning scene was absolutely necessary.
“However, if it is known that this kind of information was taught, the nobles will not be able to resist.”
“Is it that cruel?”
“No. I don’t mean cruel. After the content of torture on subhumans, you wrote the argument that subhumans are also a species and are creatures in conflict with us. They’re all trash.”
I couldn’t help but raise my eyebrows. What is this bastard talking about now? You don’t know about me because you’re stuck in the academy? Other teachers around him were paying attention to the teacher who had slipped a moment ago, but he didn’t seem to notice. I asked again.
“Advocating mermaids or beastmen? Are they all meant to die?”
“Ah, yes. In fact, it’s all our land and our sea, but they’re occupying it. I have to kill them all like the subhumans.”
“Do you know who the fuck my wife is?”
“Yes?”
“My wife is of mixed mermaid race, and she told me to search now, right?”
“Aaaaagh!”
The teacher panicked, threw the papers, and fell to the floor. All the other teachers looked away, and the teacher who objected to me fell on the floor and started crying.
“Sorry! I have a wife and children!”
“…I didn’t know, so I’ll take a look at it. I know?”
The teacher burst into tears and shouted in succession.
“Thank you thank you!”
“Fuck, behave well in the future. If you don’t want to be like that person.”
I pointed into the air. Everyone’s eyes except for me turned towards it. While I was looking back, I hit the chestnut with all my might on the teacher’s head.
Phut!
With a light blow, the teacher, lying on the floor, rolled behind her like a frog that had been shot. The teacher who bumped into her wall twisted her body in her strange posture and fell over. Her bare forehead was hollowed out in the shape of her fingers. From the eyes, nose and mouth of her sprawled teacher, her bright red liquid began to flow out of her. I said as I wiped her hands from her.
“So, what is your unbiased opinion?”
“Both mermaids and beasts are people!”
“The madness of the north that annihilated the demi-humans is so frightening!”
“The priest is also a victim of madness!”
The teachers shouted in unison. Having calmed down a bit after the murder, I calmly organized my thoughts again. When I told this story to the students at the academy, it was likely to backfire. At the time of writing the manuscript, it was fun in its own way, but when I started talking about this topic, there were too many logics that would be counterattacked.
“No, but if I lecture on this kind of content, the students may object, so I am revising it.”
The teacher’s gaze changed strangely.
“Why?”
“Oh, no.”
You do what you want, so why bother?
