Chapter 355 The Church Visits

This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

The day of the visitors from the theocracy to the empire had arrived. Their convoy was escorted by majestic unicorns mouthed by the powerful women of the church's White Paladins, which provided a spectacle for the bystanders on the streets of the capital to behold. Upon their arrival, Queendom of Raevender's crown princess and also the top student of the academy, in spite of being only a second-year student, Louise Raevender, along with Christine Grise, the imperial crown prince's betrothed, had been touring the visitors on their unicorns. After a night of staying in the guest rooms at the imperial royal palace, the holy visitors visited the Dixon Imperial Academy, following the tradition of finding potential people to work at the church. Led by Louise and Christine, the representatives of the student body, together with Primaria's White Paladin's captain, the convoy marched their way toward their destination. ◆◇◆◇◆◇

The mass finished an hour later, and after the mass, we proceeded to the indoor training area for some entertainment. In this place, the White Paladins and the priestess herself would be showing off their combat prowess. The knights engaged in a mock battle with the students, either close combat or magic matches. The crown prince already knew that he would lose, so he did not participate since losing would tarnish the pride of the empire as well as the academy's. Obviously, the elite White Paladins won most of their fights, as they only lost to two students. Of course, those two were me and my sister. "As expected of the children and the Sword Saint," the captain of the White Paladins commented. "You two completely bodied my knights. You two are exceptionally built differently."

"Thank you for the compliments, captain," Big Sis said as she sheathed her blade back after her match with one of the knights. My duel was done minutes ago, so I clapped alongside the other students from the audience. "That was the last of the matches," the captain said. "Everyone, I want you all to focus your attention on the priestess, as she was about to show what the capabilities of a priestess are." Following her words, the students shifted their attention to Eisherz in the front. Everyone's eyes were on her, as they were curious about the capabilities of the priestess other than healing wounds. "Everyone, watch closely," the priestess gently said as she held her ebony staff with both hands. "I am about to unleash one of the powerful spells that the church taught me." After that, the priestess cast an unprecedented magic spell that was never seen by all of us before.
