The Academy’s Health Teacher Wants to Take a Break

Episode 21. What do you think is at the end of life?

At least I consider myself a woman.

I was once a man, but 28 years have passed since I lived as a woman.

Yes, so the reason I’m surprised now couldn’t be because of s*xual desire.

Just because I was horrified at the fact that there was a protective gear capable of supporting that heinous weapon.

“Is this enough?”

Anyway, cultural aspects don’t keep up with the times, so maybe there’s a bra or a garter belt.

I also choose my underwear with care, but there is no such thing as this lady who can’t wear black lace underwear.

But more surprising than that was the strap that went from the shoulder.

The one I use is a structure in which the string touches the skin, but isn’t that creating space because it’s not enough to float in the air from the shoulder?

Yes, if your breasts are big, even your bra straps will float in the air.

You know that now. I feel like I lost 28 years of living as a woman.

“Hey, is something wrong?”

“Oh, no. At least on the surface, it doesn’t look too bad. I’ll start checking right away.”

“Oh, yes. I wish you well.”

The saint bowed her head.

The bottom shook just in time, but I ignored it and quietly raised her hand.

“Then, I will proceed with auscultation first.”

“Auscultation?”

“Place her hand on her chest, blow mana into it and check the movement of her heart or lungs.”

Simply put, it is a technology with the motif of a ‘stethoscope’ that exists in the original world, and it is a technology that injects mana into the target’s body to diagnose the inside.

Although a detailed investigation is impossible due to a conflict of will, it is easy to check the pulse or lung disease by using sound and vibration.

-Mulkyong.

Oh sure.

If you can stably spread the wavelength inside.

“Can you turn your back this way?”

“Yes?”

“Yes, with the back.”

Damn it. It’s so awesome that I can’t hear it again.

-Giying.

That kind of happening is only for a moment.

As soon as her mana-dense hands rested on her back, a vibrating sound began to occur.

The vibrations of her mana are transmitted to her opponent’s body, and her returning waves give a rough idea of the structure of her body.

I examine the fingertips along the spine line that sits below the wing bone, and then slowly descend toward her slender waist.

And there was no selfishness in the process.

It’s an attractive body, but more than that, a sense of mission as a doctor was considered more important.

“…Quite fast.”

Yes, that’s why I was able to figure out the problem right away.

“Fast, what do you mean?”

“My heart is beating faster than average.”

My heart rate is above average even though I haven’t exercised in particular….

There are many reasons.

Things that can happen not only in heart disease such as arrhythmia, but also in situations where metabolism is difficult, such as psychological anxiety or tension, lack of water or overwork.

Of course, it is a common symptom, so a detailed examination is essential to find out the proper reason, but now I was able to roughly guess the reason for her fast heartbeat without such an examination.

Especially because I had it in mind from the first time I touched her hand.

“…I suspect anemia.”

“Anemia?”

“It is a symptom caused by a lack of blood in the body.”

Actually, her hands are cold even though they are wrapped in her divine power.

And it is one of the main symptoms of anemia along with hypothermia and elevated blood pressure.

“Do you skip a lot of meals?”

“Sometimes I do fasting as an event, but I don’t do it that often. Eating is important for physical activity.”

“Well then, what about Heide’s food culture? For example, doctrinally skipping meat.”

“There is no particular doctrinal exclusion of food. Rather, we respect the dignity of life, so we make it our policy to minimize the sacrifice and make the most of the harvest.”

Are you saying that when you catch a pig, you eat not only the meat but also the beef bone in the sauce?

What a great frugality. In my mind, there is a desire that other denominations, which are overflowing with unbalanced diets, follow their example.

At the same time, it’s strange that he developed anemia even though he mainly eats sage.

“Well, anemia is……. Are you serious?”

“Well, anemia is a symptom that is difficult to cure with divine power, but it’s not enough, so supplementing is enough.”

Whatever it is, I’ll have to explain it first.

“If the symptoms are severe, blood transfusion should be considered, but fortunately, the saintess judges that it is not to that extent. I think it will improve if you just eat meat or vegetables with high iron content.”

“Iron? Do plants contain iron?”

“Iron is an essential nutrient for all organisms with metabolic ability, as it does not form large lumps like minerals. Iron has a property that reacts sensitively to oxygen, and this component is absorbed through the blood and circulates throughout the body to supplement oxygen to the organs that need it. Typically, bright green vegetables such as spinach contain a lot of iron. ….”

While explaining, he continued to diagnose her body over and over again.

Contents that may be difficult to understand if you do not have specialized knowledge.

Nevertheless, she listened carefully to all the explanations from the saintess, and took the attitude of accepting as much as possible within the scope she could understand.

“Seine-san, you know a lot.”

As soon as her explanation was finished, she spoke to me with admiration.

As if to pay homage to the knowledge I have.

“No big deal. Anyone can learn it if they learn it.”

“Learning itself is a wonderful thing. How much more, aren’t the followers of Kleas, including you, pursuing learning that has been rejected all along? In other words, you could also be called a courageous pioneer paving a new path.”

“This is overrated. You’re a pioneer…….”

“No, I really think the Cleas Church is amazing.”

A saintess who even refuses to be humble.

Although the atmosphere was dry, there was no small amount of aggressiveness in the current argument.

“That’s why I think we should rely heavily on the Cleas Church from now on. Because Kleas will grow into a church that will lead the era of peace that will unfold in the future.”

“Leading the times. You mean our church?”

It’s still a place with only 20 years of history.

“Although I have just recently inherited the position as a saint.”

I thought the leap was too much, but there was a seriousness in her voice nonetheless.

“We, Heide, have a long history, but we have learned that the tradition that has been maintained is not so much compared to other denominations. That means, like the food culture discussed earlier, there are significantly fewer taboos for believers to observe.”

Religion that doesn’t follow tradition……

At least in the world I originally lived in, it was considered to be close to impossible.

Not worshiping tradition means not having a foundation, and a group that does not have a clear central point is bound to collapse easily.

“The reason Heide was able to grow in size despite not emphasizing tradition and discipline was because the entire church had repeatedly made efforts to adapt to the trend of the times.”

“…A trend?”

“Death is equal for everyone, but each person has a different attitude to accept it… Likewise, for us who want to embrace them all, adapting to the trend of the times is not an option but a necessity. You could say.”

Anyway, the attitude of accepting death may change through the years you have lived or the environment you have been through.

Some people are in denial, some are angry, some are negotiating with God and despair at the harsh reality, so they give up…….

Because they want to embrace all the human groups, those who worship death are more lenient than anyone else when it comes to discipline.

“And the Cleas Church’s ideology is to provide even a little longer opportunity to those who are about to die. We, Heide, also believe that it is necessary to imitate such a spirit for the era of peace to come later.”

I hope that in the future, there will be more people who are faithful to a worthy life, not a funeral for those who died in war.

It is also something that can be said to have read the trend of the times well, but as previously thought, Heide’s method will be regarded as lacking in fidelity to other denominations.

It’s not strange if a church that doesn’t have a foundation collapses at any time.

“But that would be no different from having no regrets about the past.”

Yes. What is being discussed now must also have come from a sense of skepticism born from that awareness.

“We choose to forget the past in order to adapt to the present… In a sense, it can be interpreted that our church has maintained its existence while abandoning consideration for the ancestors who made us what we are today. “

“…… A saint?”

“Mr. Seine.”

The atmosphere has changed.

When I realized that, at some point, the saintess who turned her body around and sat down met her eyes with mine.

Still undressing the upper body.

But without the slightest bit of shame, she kept her own hands together.

“Actually, the reason I wanted to be alone with you was not just because I wanted you to diagnose my body. Because I want to ask you directly, who serves the god of medicine.”

An infinitely serious voice.

But only the eyes staring at me felt completely empty. You feel the emotion, but you say that there is no power in it?

“You, a believer and a doctor…”

The saintess asked me with such empty eyes.

“What do you think is at the end of your life?”

She didn’t think that a shaman who served the god of the underworld would say it.

Because they know best what happens after death.

“There must be an afterlife. Heide embraces…….”

“Nobody saw it. What kind of place is the place of the underworld where Heide-sama guides you?”

But if the insecurities I feel right now are true, what she sees now is not something to be taken lightly.

The spirit of maintaining the tradition even at the cost of abandoning it.

Because none other than the church’s saintess is trying to deny the ‘unique foundation of faith’ that is premised on maintaining that existence.

“When a person dies, they go to the underworld, and eventually to Heide’s bosom… …. Everyone living in this era believes so. Not only the believers, but also those who entrust the funeral to the believers. Even in your church, funerals will be left to the followers of Heide, right?”

“…Yes, it is.”

“However, no one, including the followers, has ever stepped directly into the afterlife. In the end, it will, I think, I believe it will… In the end, it’s just an abstract concept.”

Of course, the important thing for priests is belief, not truth.

Also, in the world he originally lived in, he would be considered foolish, but in this world, there is the power to bloom through such belief.

“Mr. Seine.”

Still, she seemed to deny her worth to him.

A new civilization accepted to adapt to the new era…

The questions raised by the new field of medicine.

“As a doctor, can you give a clear answer? Indeed, where does a person go after he dies?”

As if she couldn’t bear to turn away from her, she asked while clutching her left breast.

“After the heart that exists inside this chest stops, where will people go?”

Her heart must still be beating.

If your heart stops, it means you will die soon, and if your heart beats, that in itself teaches you that a person is alive.

And some say.

The beating of the heart, which moves on its own, regardless of any action, is the “Proof that a soul exists” For humans.

“…Can I be honest with you?”

But a soul?

Is it acceptable for a medical worshiper to believe in such an abstraction?

“Are you having trouble speaking?”

“My opinion is not important. The saintess must have called me because she thought it was necessary to point it out.”

Yes, Heide has already made up his mind to respect Kleas’ ideology and follow their will beyond that.

Considering that to be necessary to live in the era of peace afterward, she, who has newly ascended to the position of a saint, has made up her mind to accept even the ideology of Kleas.

“Please tell me. What do you think?”

Just as a person who sees the abyss must be prepared for something in the abyss to look at him.

If it gets in the way of having faith, even that is an ordeal and you have to endure it.

“I deny the afterlife.”

But can I say that?

“When a human being dies, that is the end. After that, nothing exists.”

The values that have been maintained since the previous life, and further strengthened while living in the second life.

Is it okay to insist firmly on the leader who will support the era that will unfold in the future?
