chapter 11
11 – Swordsmanship Training
It’s been four days since I started receiving priest training.
We used to spend busy days with classes and practices every day.
Starting the next day, wake up at dawn under the reason of lack of workers
I am having a busier and more difficult day.
Wake up early every morning to serve food, or see if there are children or the elderly who are starving because of lack of money.
It is put into various jobs such as patrolling.
And today, without fail, we called our preliminary priests from the early morning.
I hope you can at least tell me what you’re doing and call me.
Until now, he never explained what was going on in advance
The priests in charge of education are a bit dissapointed.
“Today too?”
“Today too…”
“Haa.. Knowing what’s going on in advance and not knowing it are polar opposites.”
Isn’t it said that the one hit first hurts less?
The difference between having prepared in advance and not being prepared is quite large.
Besides, I’m tired from waking up early in the morning.
I hope you will be considerate of this.
“Alvin, what did we do on our first day?”
“I prepared breakfast.”
What was the problem with the lower priest seniors who were working at the restaurant?
We were taken care of.
“What about the second day?”
“Cleaning the bath…”
Suddenly, a valuable guest came to visit
Those of us who had been sleeping peacefully were flooded with work.
“What did you do yesterday…”
“Patrol the town.”
A starving child that no one usually finds
I found it.
What I found near the capital city, and also around the headquarters
It is said to be the first under the founding of a religion.
“You remember that well.”
“It’s only been a day and it’s strange that Dave forgets.”
Dave I saw for four days
She’s a smart, hard-working ace, but in the morning she’s like a little sister who’s missing something.
I have a hard time waking up in the morning
I’m barely waking up.
“Wake up Dave!”
“Uhhhhh? Did I sleep?”
“Ehh…Then don’t clean the bathroom again and come to your senses.”
Strangely, when I sleep, no one says anything.
When Dave got caught in his sleep, she made her clean the headquarters bathroom.
You may think it’s a simple punishment, but
Considering that it was a punishment to clean ‘everything’ in the headquarters bathroom
It’s terrifying.

“Is everyone out?”
“”Yes!””
The priest in charge of education finally appeared and gave a big yawn.
He took a piece of paper out of his pocket.
The priest in charge of education took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
I only did it when I was told about my daily routine, not when I was called at dawn and asked to do work.
Everyone is confused by the sudden incident.
Did you see us back then?
The priest in charge of education scratched his head and began to look apologetic.
“Come to think of it, I forgot to tell you. Today, it’s not a patchwork job, it’s a daily routine starting at dawn.”
“Priest! What’s the matter!”
At the same time, the eldest among us
Jiren raised her hand and asked a question.
Is it because he often asks questions and is sincere?
The priest in charge of education also nodded to her and started talking.
“Starting today, you will have morning swordsmanship training with the lower priests.”
“Morning swordsmanship training…?”
“In this era when the whole world is peaceful, you must be wondering what kind of swordsmanship training.”
Everyone automatically nodded.
In this world, things like war were considered barbaric in the old days.
It is a strange world where all countries get along well
.
I’ve heard that it’s because religion supports and sustains the world, but
I don’t know because I’ve never heard of an objective answer,
Of course, even if there is no quarrel between humans and other races
Monsters do exist.
Beasts are transformed into creatures affected by powerful magical powers.
There is a separate Order of Holy Knights that defeats them.
That’s why it didn’t make sense for lower priests to learn swordsmanship.
“The priests will not exterminate monsters, but they will still conduct training in preparation for an unexpected event.”
“I see…The center of the Hellenes Church is different.”
When Jiren admired how great she was, the priest nodded as if satisfied.
That hyung admires all the stars.
“Then shall we move?”
“”Yes!””
Seeing that everyone answered loudly,
The priest started moving.
And after a while, what appeared in front of us was what could be called the largest building other than the headquarters.
It was a training ground for the knights.
The building itself is a building of the Knights Templar, but
It is classified as a sports facility that anyone can use after work hours.
“Can you swing like that to protect the followers!”
“Sorry!”
“Hey! Can’t you see the right hand is leaning to the left because of less strength!”
“Sorry!!!”
What greeted us as we entered the training ground
With people who are answering loudly while wearing clothes that look like thin dresses
They looked like instructors.
That’s training in case you don’t know where to look.
Looks like he’s training the day before a kendo tournament.
“Those who are training right now are members of the Holy Knights. Don’t worry, you guys aren’t training with that intensity.”
I sighed in relief at the words of the priest in charge of education.
It’s not just me, other classmates and Dave did too.
That steady and sincere Jiren also sighed a little.
“By the way, I am not teaching you guys.”
“No way…”
The eyes of me and my classmates
A while ago, at the entrance, I was training my older sister who was wearing a thin dress.
I headed to the instructor.
“hahahahaha, don’t worry, it’s not the instructor over there.”
And at the same time
The door we came in swung open, and there was a muscular figure.
A man came in holding something like a staff in his hand.
“This is Priest Maxis, who will guide you for a while.”
“Nice to meet you!”
The man who greeted us with a very loud voice was Maxis.
I was wondering if someone was pointing at us.
Isn’t Maxis the one who explained me about the dormitory and surrounding facilities by order of the Pope?
“I am Priest Maxis, who has been in charge of swordsmanship training for prospective priests from today.”
And this person.
I’m sure the pope introduced me as a wizard, but he’s in charge of swordsmanship training…
The thing he’s holding there isn’t even a sword, it’s a staff…
“Though Priest Maximis is a magician, he is also a disciple of the one with the best swordsmanship among the priest knights.”
“hahahaha, I don’t know what to do when you compliment me.”
Just shyly, Sis scratched his head.
At the same time, other classmates are talking in whispers or
He showed a variety of appearances, such as swallowing his saliva and being nervous.
“Alvin, that priest’s very existence is full of contradictions.”
“I’m not saying that.”
I think so too, but I don’t say it out loud.
Because that’s polite!
“Then, everyone go into the warehouse and come out with a sword that fits your hand.
The warehouse is over there.
Also, there are clothes in the changing room, so change and come out.”
“”Yes.””
“Your voice is small!”
“””Yes!!!”””
Leaving Maximis with a satisfied expression behind
We headed to the locker room to change our clothes.
***
“Yes, are you tired?”
“No… No.”
Maxis came to me while I was resting.
I asked quietly.
I thought you could wield a sword just because you said it was swordsmanship training
What Maxis asked of us was to run until we really thought we would die if we ran any longer.
I have already been running in the gym for over 3 hours.
I looked around once.
Most of the women are already sprawled, and Dave is resting after falling and bruising himself.
It was me, Jiren, and one female classmate who was standing for a while drinking water.
“The sword is heavier than I thought. I’m not used to the weight of the sword yet.
Do you think you can wield a sword?”
“No, I don’t think so.”
Take a deep breath, take another deep breath,
I started running around the gym.
At the same time, Jiren and her classmates started running again.
The comrades who have already collapsed and can’t even control their bodies are just admiring us.
“Apart from Jiren, what the hell are those two?”
“Personally, I don’t understand Alvin the most. How the hell does such a power come out of that body?”
Where does the strength come from, it runs while thinking of the saintess.
Today, when I think of the skinship I will secretly meet with the saintess after work,
Energy rises automatically throughout the body.
Isn’t this the heart of a father who gives strength while thinking of his family?
Still, was that the last power squeezed out?
I fell over because I got the wrong posture while running.
Falled on the smooth floor and rolled about 4m from the point of fall.
The female classmates and Maxis who saw it were startled and ran this way.
“Eh… Alvin! Are you okay?”
“I’m bleeding… I’m bleeding!”
The female classmates became noisy in an instant, and Maxis asked them to call in a priest who knew how to use recovery magic.
I shouted, and it became a mess.
I just fell down and scratched my leg and got abrasions.
What’s so bad about it…
I used up all my strength, so my body doesn’t move well, but
Strangely, the floor was cold and I was lying down in a good mood.
“What’s going on!”
“Yeah…Yeha! What is this place…!”
Our priest in charge of education, who was perplexed together,
I bowed my head to a woman wearing a gorgeous castle.
Looking at it now, it was Stella, who was both my wife and a saint.
Huh? What is Stella doing here?
“I heard that the preliminary priests had their first training today, so I came here just in case… Who is that person who fell over there?”
“This… A preliminary priest who came in this time…”
“Looks like you’re hurt. I’ll treat you.”
“Uh…How could the saintess directly heal a prospective priest…”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s just that the injured person is in front of me.”
Saying something similar to the Hippocratic Oath
He began to approach me, surrounded by female classmates.
Maxis, who missed the timing to stop Stella by his side,
He puts his hand on his forehead, as if he is enduring the onslaught of headaches.
Seeing her lips move, saying ‘It’s a big deal’.
It seems to be a bit dangerous situation.
“Please step aside.”
“Seo..Saint Yeha.”
At the order of the saintess, one of her female classmates left her seat.
In the end, Stella saw me lying on the ground after I rolled over.
