Epenel has a system that Kizen does not have.
It is a system called ‘selective admission’.
The 10 best students from among next year’s freshmen are first selected and invited to Sky Island before the entrance ceremony. And they have them go through a regular training camp called ‘Rookie Worship Meeting’.
At this time the ‘newcomer worship meeting’ was an old custom based on the scriptures. Just as the seniors taught the evangelists who entered Paradise in the past it is a time for the seniors of the 3rd and 2nd years who are enrolled in Fnel to introduce the school and learn about their major studies. Various high-ranking officials visit and teach selected students.
By the way among these 10 selected candidates.
“It is true that the saintess and the murderer are hiding one by one.”
Lethe crossed her arms and closed one eye tightly.
“From above we have given instructions to cover up the murder case and enforce the deity worship service. The murderer suddenly opens his eyes and sets it up but what is he doing… … .”
“It would be obvious if I had to forcefully give an order.”
Simon who was listening to the explanation opened his mouth.
“As I said earlier the murderer is connected to ‘Wei’ and he tried to kill the saintess at their request. There is a high possibility that this victim here was unfortunately caught up in the incident.”
Whether he got the information by chance or was discovered trying to kill the saintess the death of this male freshman seems to be related to a series of events.
Lethe nodded as well.
“I am of the same opinion. It probably won’t end with one victim.”
If the murderer’s goal is to be a saint then that goal has not been achieved yet.
He will keep trying until he kills the saintess and no one knows how many people will die in the process.
“In addition to finding the murderer before another victim occurs we must first find and secure the saintess before she dies.”
“Of course I would like to but how? I’ve done all sorts of in-depth investigations but I couldn’t find it.”
“… … .”
Simon looked at the body of his dead victim once more and opened his mouth.
“What did this man say his name was?”
“It’s Euclid. why?”
Simon’s eyes flashed.
“I have a little crazy plan will you listen?”
***
next day.
The postponed rookie worship service has begun.
“I am so very nervous!”
“I was worried because it’s a messy atmosphere these days but it looks like it is.”
“I hear the Saint of the Stars is still a student can I see it?”
An empty lot in front of the property.
The selection students who changed into white Epenel school uniforms gathered in groups of two and three and chatted.
The selection is made up of 10 people in total from selection 1 to 10.
Among them there are 8 selected students who went up to the Sky Island after taking the elite course at Ephnell Middle School. There were two outside selectors who came up from outside.
The students who had gone through middle school were talking loudly because they were already close to each other.
“Here everyone~ take a seat take a seat!”
Fnell student council secretary Lirinet clapped her hands and approached. The selected students sat down in their seats with tense faces.
“May the grace of the goddess be with the new faces of Epenel! Welcome brothers and sisters! I am your senior 3rd grade lyrinet!”
Selected students also ‘Raus!’ and shouted goodbye.
Lyrinet opened the scroll and held it up.
“Then here… … First-choice priest?”
Then a tall woman jumped up from her seat.
Perhaps from the southeastern part of the Holy Commonwealth she has dark skin neatly shaved hair and large earrings and her green eyes are full of ambition. Her impression was strong but the curves of her skull and body gave off a feminine feel.
“yes. First pick Merrill!”
Lyrinet lifted the briefcase.
“Would you like to report the total number?”
“A total of 10 people! 9 people in existence! 1 out of 1! Neglecting is a disease!”
“Yes I like it! good job.”
First starter Merrill snorted and sat down. Some female students even whispered that they were cool.
“For one month you will learn about the culture style etiquette and faith of Epenel! Of course the seniors will directly teach you to study the seven subjects of Ephnell in advance!”
Lirinet talked about the new theological curriculum and all the students listened with their eyes shining.
“Although you are all selected students you are not yet an official Fnel student. If you act against faith and etiquette the selection may be canceled! Keep in mind. Of course the order of starting numbers can also change during the worship service.”
Meryl’s eyes lit up when she heard those words. He showed a strong will to protect No. 1 unconditionally.
“And next a word of caution.”
Lyrinet beckoned and the monks approached and handed out long scrolls.
The students opened their mouths at the massive amount.
“Taboo things you shouldn’t do on Sky Island! Should I memorize everything?”
Indeed it was a religious society that was strict in etiquette and etiquette.
The Priests who had accumulated years of seniority would not follow all of these rules but strict standards were set for the selected students even for early correction.
“Especially sensitive these days! You know even if I don’t say it right? this. castle. school. my!”
A few students rolled their eyes with sullen expressions.
“This is true not only during worship services but also while attending school! If a man and a woman are caught doing strange things will they be expelled? Oh sure-”
Lyrinet looked around to see if the other adults around her were listening then said in a low voice.
“It’s art if you don’t get caught!”
Aaaaaaaagh!
Enthusiastic reactions and shouts poured in from all over the place. Lyrinet is whooping! After squinting her eyes with a mischievous expression she raised her index finger to her lips.
“General Secretary.”
At that time a monk ran out and said something to Lirinet. Lirinet nodded her head and gently put her hands together.
“Ah the student president of our Epenel is coming. everyone! Full standing!”
The selectors jumped up from their seats.
“The Saint of the Stars is entering!”
“ah… … !”
They all opened their mouths and were unable to speak.
A female student with a sincerity on her shoulder was walking over the Epenel school uniform.
Her white hair was wavy and her eyes were twinkling starlight. Shooting stars flew at every step. A sight that seems to have been made by weaving all the beauty and elegance of the world together.
There really was a saintess right in front of me.
I finally realized that I had come to Epenel. The students knelt on the floor and bowed their heads with respect and respect in their hearts.
“Gratula mi Kibilis! Welcome to the closest daughter of the Goddess!”
The saintess who came up to the podium looked at the prostrate juniors.
The selected students waited feeling their hearts pounding. how about the voice What kind of faith do you have? What kind of story will you tell me with your first words? … .
“They.”
But his voice was cold.
“Did I teach you properly? Lyrinet.”
The candidates raised their heads one by one. The saintess crookedly crossed her legs crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes in displeasure.
“Oh!”
Lyrinet waved her hand.
“Fellow first-timers! In Epenel the saintess is a ‘student’ just like us! Skip the excessive consciousness… … .”
“Aren’t you doing your job right!”
Lette pokes at Lirinet’s side and lunges at her and Lirinet smiles and runs away holding onto her side.
The selectors stared blankly at it.
Lette who punished Lyrinet once put her hand on her waist and said.
“Full weather.”
The selectors got up from their seats.
“As you can see we eat sleep and chat like you and we are just the same people. I don’t know what kind of longing you have for me and what kind of image you expect of me but I have no intention of living up to your expectations.”
Lyrinet took over a chair and Lethe who was sitting on the chair crossed her legs in an awkward way and continued in a languid voice.
“I am tired.”
“… … !”
The starters opened their mouths with somewhat surprised faces. Lethe stroked her chin.
“Don’t get your own expectations and then be disappointed just think of me as a comfortable older sister. If you need help she is always willing to come. Do you understand?”
“yes!”
“Your voice is small.”
“All right!!”
Lethe motioned for her to sit down. The candidates quickly took their seats.
‘I should have understood this enough.’
Lethe laughed in satisfaction.
however.
-oh my god! so cool!
– My heart hurts!
All the female students were talking with flushed faces.
-… … the charm is crazy
The male student side was making an expression of falling in love.
Lethe who was resting her chin on her face looked at Lyrinet with an expression of ‘Ugh’ and said in a low voice.
“What is this? Is it counterproductive?”
“Mmmmmmm. Are there few conservative tendencies among kids these days? Rather there might be a demand for a personality like Saint Lethe’s.”
“Aww you’re talking dirty again.”
“Saintess!”
Then another monk came up to Lethe and whispered in her ear. Lethe nodded and stood up.
“I have good news for you.”
The selectors raised their heads and looked at her.
“I think there must have been many selected students wondering why the worship service was held without one person present.”
She looked behind the podium and nodded.
“Come in.”
jerk jerk.
A student wearing an Epenel uniform was walking into the podium. All the candidates opened their eyes wide.
He is wearing a white robe over his school uniform up to the top of his head. All eyes turned to him.
The same boy slowly grabbed the hood.
‘First Impact. Seeing the first reaction is the most important thing.’
The boy slowly lifted the hood covering his head.
***
The day before all this planning started.
-yes? Did you mean to transform into Euclid the victim and participate in the worship service? Nonsense!
When Lethe heard Simon’s plan she jumped up.
Simon explained calmly.
– Among my ancient undead there is one that I can use. If you only have a piece of flesh you can make the face of the person in question and overlay it.
– No a person was murdered! Pretending to be that person puts you in danger… … !
-Aren’t you curious?
Simon continued calmly.
-How would you react if the person you thought you killed suddenly appeared on the day of the worship service?
-… … .
-And if the ‘revelation’ is correct the saintess is among the selected students and she is hiding her true identity perhaps feeling threatened. The more she tries to find out on the outside the more she’ll cringe. We’ll have to go inside and investigate.
Simon approached Lethe and his eyes lit up.
– Allow me. Lethe.
After such a long persuasion Simon transformed into the victim Euclid with the power of Alaze an ancient undead.
‘First Impact.’
Simon slowly took off his hood his eyes wide open as if he would not miss any reaction.
‘Don’t miss it.’
After taking off his hood Simon’s eyes quickly looked into the eyes of the ten draftees.
Most of them reacted to the extent of ‘Wow that’s it’ or ‘That guy’.
But among them.
astonished
Angry.
A fearful reaction is seen.
It’s a suspicious reaction no matter who sees it.
like.
‘Like seeing a dead person.’
Simon’s gaze turned to the three of them.
‘No. 1 Meryl.’
Simon’s pupil went back to a student.
‘Number three Maricello.’
After going to the student next to him.
‘And number 4 Bercy.’
I headed towards the last student in the back seat.
I perfectly remembered the face that I had already memorized by looking at the list and photos.
The boy put on the hood again and slowly sat in the back seat.
‘I can’t be 100% sure but there are three suspects in the first impact.’
No. 1’s astonished expression disappeared in an instant and No. 4 is struggling to calm his startled heart.
And number 3 is even glaring.
These are all impressive responses.
‘It must be among these. I’ll find it during the worship service. A saint and.’
Simon’s eyes sank.
‘Until the murderer.’
