Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest

62 – Chairman Gran(完)

Deian is dead.

He met his death before becoming the strongest warlock.

I took the time to purify his body. He had six demons inside his body, and it took a long time to purify it.

After confirming that Deian’s body and energy had completely disappeared, he returned to the Warlock’s Fortress.

The battle with the warlock has come to an end.

They’s leader was nowhere to be seen, and the few remaining warlocks surrendered.

“It’s over.”

“I can’t see their leader. Warlocks are like worms. You never know when and where they will show up.”

“I can’t help it unless the devils disappear from the world.”

“Yes, demons and warlocks are the ones who somehow survive. The damage on the side of our church isn’t negligible, but it’ll be fine for a while.”

After talking with Arko, I took care of the wounded. While taking care of the wounded soldier, I saw Iares in the distance, and the ancient demon Radun had collapsed.

The physical condition of Iares and Thesia was not in good condition, as if to indicate that there had been a fierce battle. Fortunately, all the limbs were attached so that there was no hindrance to strength training.

“Haa, I took a break for a while, but I need to rest again. Is it good or is it bad?”

“Heh heh, there is nothing better than exercise to rest and recuperate.”

“Gran…. Sleep is the best way to recover.”

“Exercise and sleep are the best.”

As I was talking with Iares, Tescia looked at us with round eyes.

“What… ? When did you become so close? I thought you two wouldn’t mix.”

“Heh heh, as long as I exercise, there is no problem. Now, Lord Iares, come here. You look unwell.”

“All right. Look at other people Because I have good resilience.”

We stayed in the citadel for a week and held the funerals for the paladins and priests who died fighting warlocks.

While the soldiers were resting, a meeting for the future of the Church and Empire began.

“I think it would be better for the Church to occupy this fortress.”

“Isn’t that too risky? This is the realm of demons.”

“But it is a well-fortified citadel. This is an important base from which you can grasp the movements of the Pandemonium. A lot of human and material resources will go into this place, but there is no better fort anywhere on the front than here.”

The paladin Balion put his chin on his chin and thought for a moment.

“Arko, as you say, this is a good fortification, but it is too far from the front line. It will be difficult to supply.”

“Then…. Couldn’t we just move the wires?”

“Oh, the wires….”

Balion muttered with a face as if Arko’s words had some truth.

There is nothing more reckless than moving the wires. The frontline was a defensive zone established after the war. Moving such wires was dangerous.

The reason for not moving the wires was, firstly, that there was no reason to move them. There was no need to take risks to expand the land even a little.

The second is that there may be an enemy raid while you are building a new defensive zone.

However, this Rostas Fortress was a geographically superior fortress that had to be occupied even at the risk of a threat.

“First of all, let’s share the story step by step in the direction of capturing this fortress. Then the next problem….”

“We need to elect a pope.”

Tessia said.

“I see…. Wouldn’t it be nice to be elected right now? We, the Holy Knights, recommend Arko-nim.”

The Pope of the Church of Anas was elected by vote, but only within the Church. There were a total of 5 voting rights: 1 paladin camp, 1 priest camp, 1 heretic questioning team, and 1 hero and 1 saint.

“I have what it takes to be a pope….”

“Sit down. Our priest camp will also choose Arko.”

Another Archbishop, Eupetra, who was sitting next to the Archbishop, said.

“We agree.”

The hero and the saint said at the same time.

“Then, what about the Heretic Inquisition?”

Paladin Balion looked at Limeria and Zea and said.

They both looked at me.

hehehe, to see me here….

Even though the eyes of the two women were perplexing, I also wanted Archbishop Arco to become pope.

“I agree.”

“Unanimously, Archonim is the Pope of the Anas Order. As soon as we return to the temple, we will have Termeo’s funeral and coronation ceremony.”

“Huh….”

Arko couldn’t believe it and couldn’t forget his words.

Paladin Valion did not stop and moved on to the next issue.

“Then, lastly, we need the leader of the Heretic Questioner. Hmmm, isn’t it necessary to have a discussion within the Heretic Questioner?”

Balion asked me a question.

This time I carefully looked at Limeria.

But she turned her head the other way.

What is this… ?

I looked at High Priest Zea, who was next to Limeria. She was looking in her wrong direction as if to say it had nothing to do with her.

“It would be nice if you, Demon Hunter, became the Heretic Questioner….”

“Heh heh, I am still a student. I’m still too young to take on the role of leader, and the position of club president….”

“Poof.”

Iares, who was listening to me, burst into laughter.

“From the way he speaks, he looks older than my father.”

“Keuheum, anyway, I’m still a student….”

“Hmm, that’s right. What should I do, Limeria? A demon hunter refuses to go this far.”

It seemed like Limeria’s request to become the Heretic Questioner.

“I think it will be fine for a while…. Gran, do you intend to go to school?”

Arco the Archbishop asked.

“Yes, it was also Termeo’s order. I still have a lot to learn at the academy.”

“Poof.”

Iares laughed again.

“Isn’t it just a hobby of beating kids? The last time I saw you, you hit me without mercy.”

“Heh heh, the hero is mean to me.”

When I said it while glaring at him, Ares erased his smile and looked the other way.

“Yes, I will respect your wishes. That way Chloe will like it….”

Arco muttered to himself what he wanted to say.

At that time, Limeria stood up and said.

“We want Gran-nim to be the leader of the Heretic Questioner. It’s fine for the time being. If you graduate from Visilia, I hope you will lead us.”

“Yes, I see. As Limeria said, the number of warlocks has decreased, so it should be fine for a few years. And since our proud hero has dealt with the ancient demon, the Pandemonium will be fine as well.”

Balion took Limeria’s side to a strange extent.

“Why did Valion-nim….”

“Ah, sorry. Because it was her daughter’s request.”

It was the first time I knew that Limeria was the daughter of Balion, the commander of the Holy Knights.

Anyway, I had no choice but to become the leader of the Heretic Questioner after graduation.

After spending another night at the fortress, we headed to the capital, Escardo.

The funeral of the Pope, Raizen, and the dead soldiers was held once again in the capital. After that, with the coronation of the pope, Arco became the pope.

“Gran. Come with me.”

It was the voice of a saintess.

“Heh heh, I’m thinking of leaving for the academy now.”

“I will go too. I am going to rest for a while.”

“Students and teachers will all be embarrassed.”

“It’s okay. I already told you.”

It was a situation I wanted to avoid the most.

Strangely, she was the most uncomfortable being in the world.

“Gran, I like you. Whatever you think of me it’s okay I used to think you should like me…. Now it’s okay even if you don’t like me Still, I like you.”

“Ah….”

My mind went blank for a moment as to what to answer.

But I Gran was a man.

“Heh heh, it won’t be easy for me. Maybe you will be sad because of me. Now, let’s go.”

“… Uh? What did you just say?”

“Heh heh…. I don’t like it when I say it twice.”

We headed to Visilia together.

As soon as I arrived in Visilia, I headed straight for Grandim.

“Where are you going? I’m back, shouldn’t I say hello to the teacher?”

“Don’t we meet tomorrow? Exercise comes first today.”

“Ah, then I go to the temple…. Kyaaagh!”

I grabbed Tessia’s wrist and pulled.

She seemed to refuse but was drawn towards me without resistance.

No resistance means lack of strength.

“If you come here, you should exercise.”

When I opened the Grand Jim’s door, the heat was hot.

“Heh heh, everyone has been working hard.”

The Grand Gym was full of people.

I could see all of my classmates, and even Shuina, who fought during the tournament.

Um… ?

I also saw Florina, the homeroom teacher. She was exercising while being coached by Echina.

“What is that?”

“It’s Gran!”

“And, it’s the director!”

“Hey, he must be the club president.”

“That or that.”

The club members who were exercising stopped exercising and approached me.

“Isn’t he hurt anywhere?”

Florina asked.

“Heh heh, no.”

“Why, you’re back now. Um, but the saintess is also there?”

Chloe said.

“What! Saintess? She also thought it was Gran…. Was she a saintess?”

“But why are you holding your hand?”

Echina said.

Come to think of it, she was holding the saintess’s wrist.

“Heh heh, but what are you all doing? You will have to relearn the sport from me.”

After I said it coldly, they looked at each other and then each headed to the exercise equipment.

“Everyone is passionate.”

Seeing that, the saintess said with a puzzled face.

“You don’t have to worry. That would be the image of the saintess. Heh heh heh.”

“I-could you please let go of this? I’m powerless….”

“Then, this must be the happiest moment. Come on, Chloe. Please ask for the saintess.”

“Yes! Leave it to me! The saintess, you will be sleeping here today, isn’t it okay?”

Chloe has also become quite a skilled trainer.

At that time, a skinny man entered.

“I…. I heard that it gets stronger when you come here….”

“Heh heh, I don’t know who introduced him…. You came to know me very well. Welcome to the Grand Gym.”
