"The wedding shall happen two months from now, at this very same time and same ce, I will see you all again"


    After saying those words he immediately left leaving his people with different reactions.


    The coronation ended and slowly the people began to celebrate and eat happily.


    "Alicia"


    Apollo called again holding her tightly.


    "Uncle?"


    Artemis called out seeing her best friend being held tightly by her uncle.


    "Is there something wrong?"


    She asked worriedly.


    "It''s okay she just felt dizzy it seems the crowd made he feel overwhelmed"


    "I see"


    She then extended her hand urging Alicia to take it.


    "Let''s go" Despite her eyes being saddened by the situation she remained smiling putting Apollo in pain too.


    "Dangerous too dangerous" he concluded, realizing it was Esteban''s emotions.


    {Should we continue patrolling?}


    Despite his roller coaster emotion, a voice made him snap out of it.


    {Do you see any other enemies?} he asked which they immediately answered.


    {None as of this moment}


    {Keep an eye on any suspicious personnel and keep me updated}


    {Okay!}


    {On it!}


    {Sure!}


    Different responses to the same words made Apollo''s head filled with their voices.


    "Hey are you really that unwell"


    Back to the current situation Artemis began to ask her friend though Alicia remained silent. It seems she is trying to reign over her artificial emotions.


    "I am, I''m sorry I just felt a bit sick"


    She finally answered making Artemis smile.


    "Let''s go"


    "Yes"


    "Uncle we will go ahead of you"


    "Sure stay safe"


    "We will"


    Experience new tales on м??


    And so the two left and as soon as they did, words began to appear in the air.


    (Congrattions students you have cleared the fourth part of the exam!)


    Now instead of being transported to separate rooms, they found themselves inside a huge hall.


    (You have all twenty minutes before thest part of the exam starts)


    As soon as they realized the situation they couldn''t help buty on the floor.


    "I am tired!" They all eximed.


    It wasn''t just physically taxing but mentally too. The fact that some parts of the events weren''t recorded made it even more hard for them to decide the action they should take.


    "I feel weird somehow, am I the only one who is feeling this?"


    "No"


    Casper answered Vesta''s frustrated remark.


    "I feel it too however I don''t understand what kind of feeling I am experiencing right now"


    They began to discuss while Apollo remained looking at the ceiling.


    "It didn''t disappear"


    He thought, when he realized that the feeling of longing was still there. The emotion wasn''t from Yuan or even to Esteban, it was his.


    "So I really want a happy family" he suddenly felt stupid while putting his arm above his eyes.


    "This is stupid"


    "You mean the exam or the action I did before"


    Alicia''s emotionless voice suddenly entered Apollo''s ears.


    "I don''t really think it''s stupid since I was affected as well"


    "You were? Really?"


    "Yes, I was"


    "This is a very tricky exam"


    "Yeah, it really ys with our emotions and mind"


    "An exam that is simply too hard for ordinary people, seriously, Aster Academy what are you thinking" Apollo thought while trying to use their free time to clear his mind.


    .....


    (Wee to thest part of your first subject exam!


    Lesson 5: The War of Faith


    Good Luck students!)


    The announcement appeared and so light began to devour the students before transporting them right in the middle of a battle.


    "The hell is this!"


    Mckenzie eximed while holding his shield.


    "Mckenzie dodge!"


    "What?"


    Still confused about the situation Mckenzie missed the warning and couldn''t form his guard immediately.


    "PANG!"


    A crisp sound was heard and everyone felt relief when Apollo came and blocked the strike that almost beheaded their friend.


    "Stay alert everyone!"


    He announced while pushing his enemy.


    As soon as the enemy soldier backed off due to Apollo''s push an arrow went straight to its neck.


    "Soldiers, are you all alright?"


    A feminine yet familiar voice came from the dark cloud of dust.


    "We are all alright, thank you" Not really interested in her identity Apollo only said those words.


    "Please be more careful we can''t afford to lose more people"


    From the dust and smoke a hair as ck as the night and eyes that seemed made out of a crystal suddenly made its appearance. Ady with a silver bow and ck leather armour appeared before them.


    "She is... "


    "Isaac''s descendant?"


    They realized though their moments were cut short when an enemy lunged forward.


    "Don''t interrupt us please"


    Apollo took his sword and shed forward however as he did so a spell came flying at him.


    "Block!"


    Alicia chanted and a barrier was formed to block the spell.


    "Thank you"


    "Don''t be too reckless, everyone stay alert!"


    "Yeah!"


    After seeing their sudden shift in reaction the youngdy from the duchy of Silvercrest can''t help but smile.


    "It seems like I wasn''t needed at all"


    And so she left to assist the front lines.


    The War of Faith started three hundred years ago when different churches around the continent appeared and began opposing each other. No one knows how it started though only one thing was certain at that time. The entire continent was put in total disarray.


    Each house at that time had its own God that they put their faith into. The imperial family and the four ducal houses are no different. So the war became moreplicated for them.


    The ground was scorched and broken while the sky was burning as if a widespread fire was burning above.


    The lower-ss students felt like dying in this situation. They finally realized that reading is different from experiencing the events that were recorded in the past. The few words that they put to describe their hardship aren''t enough to justify the thing that they are feeling right now. They were hungry they were thirty yet they couldn''t eat or drink because at any minute they could die.


    It wasn''t an exam, for the sixteen thirteen-year-old kids, it was torture. A torture they can''tprehend why they need to experience this situation again. It was like replying a painful trauma. The fallen bodies the broken cities and the screams, everything was like what happened to them three years ago. When everything was taken from them and when they were chased out of their homes.


    Then out of nowhere, they heard something they thought they would never hear again.


    A chant is not just a normal chant but a prayer, a gospel. In that moment the students of the lower ss felt blood drain from them.


    "What''s going on?" even Apollo was confused there was a hundred-year gap between the creation of the monastery and the war so how could he hear it? A prayer that was used to cast a gospel, only the monastery is using them.


    [Could it be one of the few religious things the monastery copied from other religious groups?]


    Jeremiah said trying to calm Apollo''s raging heart.


    "Oh holy lord grant yourmbs protection so on this depressing night no cold or heat can ever hurt them, may his spirite down to judge those who have denied his will!"


    It was really simr even the delusional way of their chanting was the same. They all concluded, then as they thought it was the most surprising thing a flood of blood came out of the caster''s holy book.


    "What the hell is going on!"


    Some of the soldiers eximed not knowing what was going on.


    "Jeremiah scan"


    [On it!]


    [Scanplete!


    The holy book the priest is holding is actually made from Nirvana''s flesh and blood. It seems in this phase the spell book isn''t perfect yet hence its hideous appearance]


    The blood then transforms into the spell that the caster wants to manifest.


    "One of Nirvana''s skills is sharing his power by using his blood and flesh. This scenario seems like the holy book is one of his experiments to share his power" Apollo thought while observing the mysterious priest.


    As the gospel manifested a pack of insects came flying towards the empire''s soldiers.


    "Just what is the monastery doing here"


    Matilda eximed while aiming her crossbow towards another enemy''s shoulder.


    "I have no idea either!"


    "I thought the War of Faith is the battle that talks about the fight between the man-focused churches and God''s focus ones"


    Niko said while using his shield to block an axe for Agnes.


    "ording to our professor and the book he gave us the war started when the people worshipping magical beasts and other objects shed against those who worshipped the Gods in the early ages!"


    Keith was a bit frustrated at this part since his mind had already felt cleansed when the monastery disappeared, however, it hadn''t been a month yet he already seen a man using a gospel, and this made the boy disoriented.


    "This is more like a trauma remembering session than a history exam"


    Mckenzie said while mming his fist towards his enemy. It seems Riku''s battle sense didn''t leave him yet.
