chapter 39
39. Violence increases persuasion (4)
rustle-
“Ummm…”
Somewhere, a cold wind pierces the inside of the blanket.
Gyoju, who had been sleeping quietly and comfortably under a warm blanket, did not like the sudden cold that penetrated his skin.
‘Did I leave the door open?’
Falling asleep, she opened her eyes and rose from her bed.
I checked the window, but the neatly closed window had no reason to let the cold air in.
‘what?’
Instinctively, I felt that something was strange.
The reason why the leader was able to survive without any major incidents even while eating many people was because he instinctively knew the moment of danger.
‘Is it today?’
As soon as the priest opened his eyes, he took out the knife he had put under his pillow.
Serureung-
This knife pierced Fran’s stomach, and it had a history of taking quite a few lives before that.
Even the Awoken won’t survive when this sword is stabbed in the heart.
It wasn’t just a normal knife, it was obtained by secretly stealing a knife used by an Awakener.
‘What are they doing so they are quiet?’
He promised to put the franc into the bedroom if he escorted him.
It was understandable to be upset when he found out he hadn’t done his job properly on a subject like that.
“Fran, where are you hiding? Don’t be afraid and come out. Mother is waiting for you.”
He made his voice as kind as possible.
He knew very well what Fran liked and how he treated her.
Didn’t he use it to shake Fran’s heart and use it?
It was embarrassing to end up like this after trying to wait for the child to grow up out of pity, but he was sure that the Fran he knew would have no choice but to respond to this voice.
And as expected, Fran suddenly jumped out of the darkness as if he had been waiting for it.
“Sir.”
Since childhood, Fran has been wearing white clothes to make it a symbolic image of the church.
Because of this, when Fran came out dressed in gloomy black, it felt as if she had seen a stranger.
“Fran, what are you going to do if you recklessly run away because you had a fight with your mother? You don’t know how embarrassed I am.”
First, I had to make sure that the stranger was worth francs.
‘Because among the Awakened there are people who can change their faces.’
Beings called Awoken who use strange powers that cannot be explained in words.
They are ‘weapons’ that God sent down to earth to deal with monsters.
just one of them.
I have been preparing for a long time with the weapon I was lucky to pick up when I was young.
How should I use this weapon?
It was a weapon that had been nurtured while cherishing it.
It just shouldn’t kill you like this.
I will persuade you and get the relationship back to how it was before.
‘Because he’s a good kid, if he’s persuaded well, he’ll be willing to sacrifice himself for the church.’
The reason he picked up the knife was not only to protect himself, but also to scare Fran.
Since this sword has pierced the stomach, you should fear yourself.
Violently persuading a child was not to my liking, but what can I do?
Circumstances aren’t helping.
“Sorry, did you worry too much?”
“Of course. Why are the clothes the way they are? My daughter looks better in white.”
Isn’t that how people know that this child is a saint?
I thought I should teach Fran what he had to do once again.
“And don’t leave the church recklessly from now on. I saw you run away from home for locking yourself up in a room, and you got into a bad habit. You know that if you do something wrong, you should be scolded, right?”
Gaslighting continues naturally.
It must have been a familiar phrase to Fran.
If you do something wrong, you get scolded, and when I was young, I often got into accidents and was punished by being locked up in a room.
“Yes, that’s right. If you do something wrong, you should be scolded.”
“I guess since I was old enough to go to the academy, I was more concerned with caring for others. I still didn’t realize my daughter needed attention from her mother.”
“…..”
“I felt a lot this time. I’ll take care of you more carefully in the future, so don’t worry. I’ll make sure you don’t feel lonely.”
He opened one arm as if to be embraced by his mother.
The reason I couldn’t put out both hands was because I was holding a knife in my other hand.
I still have no intention of driving this knife through my heart.
“You know what to do if you’re wrong?”
“Yes, if you do something wrong, you have to get down on your knees and tell your mother what you did wrong and then be punished.”
“That’s right. Now, what are you doing? If you know, you should do it.”
Get on your knees in front of yourself and put your hands together and pray for fault.
I was willing to wipe away the poor child’s tears if he would shed tears and ask for forgiveness.
It wasn’t a child who didn’t listen this well, but Fran’s movements were strangely sluggish.
“Why don’t you listen to me like this… It’s difficult, really.”
Fran said the moment he said it with a sigh of irritation.
“Professor, I think you’re thinking about it wrong.”
“huh?”
“I am not the one who should be punished.”
“what?”
“Because the person who made the mistake is the headmaster. Of course, it is the headmaster who should be punished, not me.”
Something
“Reverend, hurry up and ask your mother for forgiveness. Get down on your knees and pray to her.”
it’s wrong
“You must tell me all your faults, so that you may be punished and forgiven.”
Why didn’t I notice it sooner?
“It’s the teacher who taught me to do that. You know that, right?”
It means that Fran’s eyes looking at him are different from before.
⁂ ⁂ ⁂
“Professor, why are you so stubborn?”
It was heartbreaking to see the teacher insisting on not doing it.
Making a mistake and not admitting it is also a sin.
As a child, Fran also had to spend a difficult time receiving the punishment given by the headmaster for a very long time.
“If you do this, you will only receive more punishment.”
“Get out!! Get out of my church! I didn’t mean to pick up something like you in the first place. Who knew you were such a crazy b*tch. Get out now!!”
“Even if you say such a bad thing, I don’t think it’s sincere. It’s what the teacher taught me. It’s because I have a wound in my heart.”
The teacher has already made a big mistake.
The punishment he had to receive in order to be forgiven for that mistake must have been quite large, but seeing that he kept accumulating karma made me feel bad.
“Murder is such a great sin… No matter how awakened I am, if I had been stabbed in the heart, I would have died. I don’t want to make you a murderer.”
If it wasn’t for the senior escorting me, I would have been in big trouble.
If the headmaster became a murderer because of him…
The burden on the heart must have been very heavy and large.
How terrible would that be?
The punishment he had to receive in order to be forgiven for his sins would have been severe.
The teacher who was punishing himself said.
“Crazy b*tch.”
“I respect and love you with all my heart. That’s why I’m trying to punish you.”
Even though he fell, he couldn’t hide his love for him.
That’s why I wanted to follow the teacher’s teachings.
It may be painful, but this is why I decided to punish the headmaster himself.
“aaa!! Let go of this!!”
“Uh, if you struggle like that, you’ll only get hurt. Professor. Would you like to use it if you hurt your precious body?”
Fortunately, the murder ended in an attempted murder.
It’s thanks to you.
“Thank you, senpai. Thanks to senpai for blocking it, the severity of the punishment that the headmaster should receive is much lower.”
“Ha ha, of course I should do this.”
“Crazy b*tch, why don’t you stop acting and be honest with each other?
I did too.
I hated and resented the teacher who punished me.
I didn’t understand why he made me suffer and suffer when he said he loved me.
Currently our situation has been reversed.
I could now empathize with the teacher’s heart.
“I think he must have felt this way when he taught me.”
“Where are you going? Where are you taking me?! What did you do with the nobles in the church? Did you kill them all? Did you kill the nobles!”
“They must be punished according to the value of their sins. Senior’s acquaintances helped. They are really sincere and kind people.”
When the teacher punished me, my heart must have been very painful.
However, I couldn’t help but punish him when he saw that he didn’t reflect on what he did wrong.
It couldn’t be the right human relationship just because I love you and pour affection.
“This was also the teacher’s teaching. Aren’t I too grown up now?”
In this way, I have grown enough to show the teacher’s teachings directly to the teacher.
“This is it.”
The senior held the teacher himself and carried him away.
He struggled so hard that I couldn’t carry him in my arms.
“Where is this place? I wonder why there is a place like this in the principal’s office.”
“I used to be punished here when I was young. Now it’s an embarrassing time when I don’t understand why.”
“You said you were punished here when you were young? You sent the saintess to such a heinous place…”
It was a desolate space where the fire did not come on properly and there was an unknown fishy and disgusting smell.
Once inside, there was absolutely no way out unless rescued from the outside.
It was completely understandable that the senior looked around and was surprised.
It was because it was such a terrible punishment room that he still came out of his nightmares.
“If it wasn’t for the teacher’s teachings, I would have died pickpocketing in an alleyway. The dark alleyway was a difficult place for a child to endure.”
“ah…!”
“The headmaster took me out of that place, but at that time I wasn’t mature enough to repay kindness for grace. The headmaster taught me one by one, even though I was no different from an animal in the field. I think I also learned the saying that when you do something wrong, you should be punished. .”
The person who knows best where this place is is the headmaster.
It wasn’t that Fran was in a hurry when he showed us here.
As much as I hate and hate this place, the headmaster must hate this place as well.
However, there was nothing I could do about it because the priest had committed more than one sin.
“I thought that this is the only place where the headmaster who did not repent of his sins and did not ask for forgiveness would be punished.”
“My teeth clench when I hear about the old days, but now I also feel that there is no place as suitable as this place.
The senior smiled as if he had been satisfied with it belatedly.
As soon as I opened the inner door, I tossed the teacher he was holding onto the floor.
“Oops!”
The prison that prevented her from going outside recklessly when she was young.
In that place, even the Awoken cannot resist.
Of course, it was a prison that confined the awakened people in the first place.
“I’m glad you like it too.”
Seeing the senior who supported his opinion much more actively than expected, he couldn’t hide his excitement and smiled bashfully.
Like himself, the teacher will be born again as a new person here.
I was already looking forward to that day.
