The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 17. Why do you hate your mother so much?

Divine power.

It is one of the unique powers that exist in this world, and unlike mana, it is said that it cannot be scientifically analyzed at this stage.

In the first place, science is based on inquiry, and inquiry is an act that can be called ‘constant doubt’.

Of course, this law is incompatible with faith, which requires absolute trust regardless of the truth.

However, in this world, unlike modern times, where such blind faith is meaningless, there are results that can be obtained, and if you train it to the limit, you reach the stage of giving will and shape to light.

‘The materialization of the Halo.’

I had reached the stage of being called ‘Halo’ after such a phenomenon, after the war ended two years ago.

“Um, Cle. Long time no see.”

Yes, the crystal that appeared in front of me now.

It was the result of realizing Clea, the god of medicine, the main god of the Cleas Church, to which I belonged.

-… ….

“Looks a bit bigger than the last time I saw it. How have you been?”

-… ….

“…… Ahahahaha.”

No matter how many times I asked, there was no answer.

Of course it has to be. Because Claire didn’t have a mouth in the first place.

No, to be precise, all body parts except for the hands are in a state of non-existence.

Two hands made of pure white light.

The slender and delicate structure tells us that it belongs to women, but that is all we can know.

Halos from other denominations are usually loud or brilliant……. After all, this is the limit even if it materializes because it is a baby god that has only been born for about 20 years.

-… ….

“…… Mom.”

Of course, to my eyes, this is also an existence that I need to take care of, but since it is an existence created out of trust, my intentions and feelings are conveyed to some extent.

Couldn’t it be that you felt bad about being treated like a baby?

“Are you okay?”

I wondered, I cautiously asked the two floating hands.

It took some time for the response to come back.

After that, Klee made a gesture by gently raising his right hand.

-Good!

A hand pose in which only her thumbs are raised with her fists clenched.

It was the big stick I taught you in the past.

“…You are doing just as well as I taught you.”

– Clap clap clap.

Klee claps after Dabong.

Seeing her expressing her affirmation to her opinion in that way, I couldn’t help but smile at her.

Yeah, Halo wasn’t an embodiment of something that existed in nature.

To make a vessel out of nothing through the faith of countless believers in a non-existent thing, gradually increase the size of it, and give it will and knowledge to grow…….

In short, Halo can be said to be a ‘crystal of collective intelligence’ that learns about the world and grows while being supplied with faith from countless believers, regardless of time.

If it even has a will, wouldn’t it be worthy of being called a god by human standards?

Of course, since it’s called collective intelligence, it looks like a namu wiki with AI, but…….

-Tak.

As I was being swayed by such useless thoughts, Cle put his hand on my shoulder.

I wondered if he was arguing about something, but the touch of his shoulder showed concern.

It must be that he cares about my complexion.

“Thank you for your concern, but you don’t have to worry too much about it. It’s just because I don’t get enough sleep…….”

-!!!

Clé stiffens her fingers as if in shock.

Before I could react to that, her other hand started slapping me on the cheek.

-Slap, slap!

“Mi, I’m sorry. I’ll take good care of myself in the future, so please don’t be angry.”

Anyway, as the field he oversees is “Medicine,” He has no choice but to care about the health of his followers.

I’m worried about my appearance, which is tired of lack of sleep, so I can feel the tears.

“Yes, just like Klee said, you should take good care of your sleeping time. In fact, that is what I called this time.”

Her sneaky, belatedly gave her the reins, which I put in her hands.

“Could you hold the horse’s reins for me while I sleep? You just have to go this way, and if you see a gate, you can stop there.”

-… ….

“…… Um, haven’t you learned to ride yet?”

-Good!

Clé raises the bar.

Fortunately, someone had the experience of teaching Klee how to ride a horse.

Hey, no matter how short the history is, I’m not the only believer who can implement Halo.

As long as you follow the road, there will be no problem leading the horse.

“Then please.”

After entrusting the reins to Klee, I rested my head on the neck of the unicorn I rode on and let go of my strength.

-Dagdak, dagdak.

The sound of horses’ hooves and a gentle breeze as they stroll down the street. And warm sunlight.

It was indeed an appropriate moment to take a short break.

***

However, if dreams while sleeping are correct, that is not the case.

‘Okay, stop at this point.’

When I was about 7 years old.

As if recreating the situation at the time, I was pinned to the floor of the gymnasium, and I looked up at the woman who had knocked me down and looked down shamelessly.

The owner of an ugly face with silver hair like me…….

No, the fact that her face was distorted so badly must have been because I was trying hard not to remember it.

The last time I saw you was 12 years ago, but I still don’t want to look like you.

‘You worked hard today too. Let’s end our training here.’

‘Practice sucks.’

I put my 7-year-old daughter in the sand and talk well.

As I did back then, I planted the tip of the wooden sword in my hand into the ground and prepared to confront him.

‘Where did he… Learn such harsh words?’

‘It’s okay, so just try again. Because we haven’t lost yet.’

I know best that I can’t beat that b*tch.

I’m 7 years old, and that girl is a Munchkin character that the developers decided to create.

Nevertheless, the reason why he gripped the wooden sword even though he was exhausted was because he couldn’t relieve the things that were stuck inside him if he didn’t do that.

‘Replacement.’

But, of course, the sword does not reach.

In the first place, she is an invincible being created by the developers with great care.

There was no way that a criminal like me could attack an existence that was tightly packed with cheats from the very beginning.

‘Seine, why do you hate your mother so much?’

Even if she’s such a damn b*tch, is it because she gave birth to a child who was sick to her stomach?

When I ran until I couldn’t run until I ended up on the ground, that b*tch would always look at me with pity.

It’s really not the same.

‘…… You know that better than I do.’

That reaction was disgusting to me.

Look at the gym where I am standing right now.

The sand was turned upside down on all sides and dented, and the scattering sand spread outside the stage, even contaminating the outer wall of the building.

The blemishes seen between them were not even from being touched by the sword, but the scars created by the aftermath.

‘What is the reason?’

The scene where the damn b*tch said ‘light sparring’ with my own mouth.

If she shows her sincerity, she will go beyond this area without saying an empty word, and she will have to prepare for the destruction of several territories.

‘Why are you stuck here even though you have this much power? If I had this much power, wouldn’t it just be enough to go to war and wipe it all out?’

A monster among monsters that can stand alone against a country.

In terms of the world I originally lived in, an existence like a ‘nuclear bomb’ was the woman in front of me.

‘Even while you are hanging out in a place like this, Dad is still out on the battlefield and rescuing people. Aren’t you worried about your dad like that? Is it really okay to just stay here!’

‘…… Seine.’

‘Yes, that’s why I have no choice but to hate you.’

It’s hard to tell a story.

With the power to end the war on this land at any time.

Still, how can a human being respect a goddamn bystander who just watches the person he loves die?

***

– Hee-hee!

Immediately after I opened my eyes with the sound of crying, my gaze, which had awakened my sleeping spirit, was immediately directed to the sky.

Looking at the tilt of the sun, about half a day has passed?

Klee still holds the reins, too, but the location is completely different from the academy’s former grounds.

The wall that fills one side of the road ahead must be the gateway to the border.

-Tuk-tuk.

As I was about to recognize it, Cle cautiously touched my shoulder.

Perhaps to make sure I’m okay.

“It’s okay. I feel better after getting some sleep.”

-Good!

Clé throws a thumbs up right after my words.

I smiled happily at Klee, then leaned my horse against a nearby tree and turned my attention towards the carriage.

Black cross marks engraved all over the wagon that can be clearly seen from afar.

It is a mark that symbolizes the Heide Church that I know.

“… Now that there are more eyes on me, I think it would be best to step back. Claire, see you later.”

Sometimes, showing a pagan god for no reason spoils the first impression.

Clé also waved at me as if accepting that point, and then slowly began to disappear from the spot.

I don’t understand why he called and only had a designated driver……. Later, when I get a chance, I’ll have to play with a thread.

“Who are you?”

As I approached the carriage, leaving behind the spot where Klee had disappeared, a person waiting nearby blocked my path.

A man in armor whose whole body is dyed black.

The gold rims engraved all over the place showed that he held a position different from that of an ordinary knight.

The leader of Heide’s Black Holy Knights.

A person who is active only when the most important person in the church moves.

“My name is Seine Velvet, the teacher who greeted me on behalf of the academy. Would it be alright if I could see the representative of this group?”

I bowed my head to such a man and quietly stared at the carriage behind him.

He’s a big man enough to keep other religious orders in check, and a person who’s even dispatched the leader of the knights…

I get it roughly.

The person enshrined in that carriage is the ‘Black Saint of Heide’.
