Faith Life of a Former Scammer

046. ‘For the future’!

The prodigal son is back!

The trainees who went on field training returned to the Church of Dawn one by one.

Their expressions, which they thought would come back with a smile, were all dark.

This was a good sign.

“Have you been well?”

They couldn’t easily answer Leon’s question.

“Just seeing your reaction makes this instructor’s heart overflow.”

At Leon’s words, the eyes of the trainees gathered.

“If I had returned excitedly, I might have been disappointed.”

It was the lack of education.

“If you seriously look back on your life and feel your changes, your reaction is the answer.”

When he came to his senses, he realized how much of an asshole he had lived.

“How was trainee #1?”

“As the instructor said, I confirmed that I was a 4-point human.”

I looked back on my past.

“How was Trainee Number 2?”

“basic. I only followed the basics that the instructor taught me, but that alone changed a lot.”

I realized the effect of education.

Students 3 and 4 had similar opinions.

“I realized that the things I desperately wanted came from small acts of kindness.”

“It was only this time that I truly felt the existence of brothers and family.”

They are really new born.

“You guys are still bewildered. Do you wonder if you really have changed, and don’t you go back? You must be feeling insecure.”

So I had to convince them.

“it’s okay. It is natural to doubt and be wary of yourself. On the contrary, I feel more at ease because I have that heart.”

Make doubt and anxiety natural.

“So, the instructor will help you. I will take care of those doubts and vigilance.”

presented a solution.

The trainees focused on Leon’s words as if they would not miss a thing.

“There is no graduation. Bible camp never ends.”

The trainees were not surprised when they said there was no graduation.

Rather, it was a look of relief.

“From now on, I will start an indefinite field training. This instructor will always watch over you, and if you go back to normal, I will summon you to the church.”

Indefinite field practice.

This is Leon’s solution.

‘It’s a bonus to wear a dog collar called a lifelong trainee.’

Trainees who did not know such a Leon were in tears.

“School, Instructor!”

“thank you!”

Leon shouted as if declaring.

“This instructor proves that you have become a new person! The indefinite field training is proof of that!”

With this declaration, a change has occurred.

[Mission: Crazy Repentance 4/4]

[The mission has been cleared.]

The mission clear notification window popped up.

Leone immediately instructed Siri.

‘Hey Siri! Hogang, use it right away!’

[The skill cannot be used because the conditions are not met.]

‘What conditions?’

[Unable to confirm.]

‘Ah, isn’t this enough?’

This meant that Hogang’s conditions for use were not satisfied.

Then, a new notification window popped up.

[Analyze the mission process.]

[Explore the optimal skill through analysis.]

[You already have the training skill.]

[Some of the compensation has been adjusted.]

[Reward: The conditions for using Hogang are temporarily relaxed.]

‘uh?’

As a reward, it was not an auxiliary skill, but Hogang-nim’s conditions were alleviated.

‘Hey Siri!’

[Satisfy Hogang’s conditions of use. I will use it right away.]

[Special skill: Hogang is activated.]

Along with the notification window, Leon shouted.

“God of dawn who opens the dawn. Open up their dark past and let their bright future come!”

Divine power radiated from Leon’s body and wrapped around the trainees’ bodies.

‘I will enjoy this food!’

Welcome, Hogang!

The continent became abuzz with the crazy incident.

“The irredeemable idiots have repented!”

Thanks to this incident, the aristocrats took an emergency.

“I could send 2nd Confucius to the Church of Dawn, just in case! Make a donation right now, and keep it in check!”

anxiety to someone.

“Maybe this is your last chance! 2 We must send Confucius to the Church of Dawn! Send donations first!”

hope for someone

The Church of Dawn started pouring in donations even if it was just sitting still.

As a result, the request for training of the new nerd did not come in.

Leon expected this situation.

‘I thought it was the first time educating nerds anyway.’

The owner of the family might change, but this couldn’t be done easily.

‘The blade of dawn and the help of darkness. If it wasn’t for the combination of the two, it would have been impossible in the first place.’

This was possible because of Grandma’s great skill.

Sending off the heir of the family with an unconventional contract?

Originally, it’s a no-brainer.

‘The real ones are these.’

A lot of letters were piled up in front of Leon.

‘I’m sure you’re curious.’

These letters were ‘questions’ from prospective customers.

It wasn’t a question about stupid repentance. This was an inquiry about other changes.

The questions were divided into two main parts.

‘I think number 1 did really well?’

A billboard that was walking around. 1 trainee.

Seeing him, nobles sent letters.

[…] … syncopation… … Confucius’ skin has also become clean, as if it represents that his heart has become clean, and I have a question about this.]

The summary was simple.

Why did your skin improve?

‘Is it Siri?’

[Yes. The effect of holy water is the removal of waste. The nobles seem to be interested in this.]

It was all thanks to the holy water that made my skin better.

Besides, this isn’t just about improving your skin.

‘Well, the changes you can see right away are typical of the skin.’

For the aristocrats, grooming their appearance was a way to show off their dignity and nobility.

It wasn’t just that I was interested.

‘If this happens, the route to the political world will naturally be opened.’

In order for the church to be active, the help of nobles is absolutely necessary.

‘I can talk to Priest Runda about this.’

You can ask Priest Runda who has a business eye for this.

More important than that was what happened next.

[Education request.]

A new education request has been sent by a noble family.

‘I’ve been waiting for this!’

This was what Leon was really waiting for. This one was completely different in quality from Mannani.

‘These are kids with real problems.’

The madman is only a one-time deviation, but these children have mental illness or serious problems.

‘There’s no danger because they’re already pushed out of the power structure.’

There was no way that children with problems would have power in the succession structure.

Of course, they were children who literally needed help, who had deviated from the succession structure.

‘Of course it’s not charity work.’

However, it was not about earning gold through treatment.

‘The person itself is like a reward.’

If Leon knows nothing, it’s a gamble. But Leon knows the future.

‘Genius isn’t eccentric for nothing.’

All you have to do is check the name written in the letter and pick out the genius.

Besides, genius is usually associated with ‘destruction’.

‘If you use your head, your body will feel comfortable.’

Going around looking for talent?

that’s the old way

* * *

Leone wasn’t the only one who checked these letters.

High Priestess, Ruth Priest, Runda Priest.

Everyone read and checked the correspondence.

‘I heard that the real Priest Runda smells the smell of gold. I never thought he would move first.’

Priest Runda checked the correspondence and called a meeting as soon as the possibility appeared.

‘I didn’t think we’d be together from the start.’

Originally, Runda, Ruth, and High Priestess.

The meeting must have been held with three people, but at the strong request of Priest Runda, Leon came to this place as well.

“Then let’s start the meeting.”

Priest Runda’s expression was more solemn than ever.

“Ambassador. An opportunity has finally come for the Church of Dawn.”

“A chance… … . Keep talking.”

The old man was not an idiot either. He seemed to have noticed what an opportunity was.

“This is an opportunity to prepare for the future, High Priestess.”

“Did you judge that as the future?”

“I know that the High Priestess doesn’t like connections with nobles.”

The reason why the old man disliked the connection with the nobility was simple.

The connection between politics and church inevitably causes ‘corruption’.

“But that is also necessary in order to expand the church and grow its power.”

“Hmm.”

However, Priest Runda’s words were not wrong either.

It was not that other denominations were collaborating with political forces for nothing.

In order to operate in major cities on the continent, permission from nobles is required.

‘The church’s true power struggle starts with the big cities.’

Small and medium-sized cities, like Killika, can be taken care of by the entire church, but in a real ‘big city’, several churches compete.

The ‘ticket’ for the competition was the friendship he had built up with the nobility.

“It may still be a long way off. However, gold is accumulating in our coffers, and we have gained a foothold called Killika.”

It wasn’t because of greed.

“I want to prepare a future for this guy before his old body gets further damaged.”

Priest Runda put his hand on Leon’s head. It felt like his sincerity was conveyed through his hands.

“good night. Runda, I agree with you.”

The old man made a quick decision.

“But never neglect the present for the sake of the future.”

“Yes, High Priestess.”

“Kilica is a stronghold, but nothing belongs to us. Gold is just beginning to accumulate.”

The old man’s decision was quick, but it was not taken lightly.

“Besides, why don’t you explain the specific method?”

“The method is also ready.”

With the words ready, Priest Runda looked at Leone.

“Leon. Let me explain.”

Priest Runda left the explanation to Leon.

‘I knew it wasn’t really normal, but.’

At first glance, it seems that the troublesome part was left over, but from Leon’s point of view, it was the exact opposite.

‘You set the perfect stage.’

Priest Runda laid a board for Leon to play on.

* * *

First, I had to start with packaging.

[Sacred water effect biological experiment] could never be said.

“I judged that the trainees were called fools because of the accumulation of grievances in their hearts.”

The most important thing here is to show that ‘holy water’ was not used privately.

“So I used a slightly modified version of the consecration rite.”

“A consecration ceremony?”

“I wondered if it would be possible to remove grime from the heart with a consecration ceremony using holy water.”

It seems that he did not know that the consecration ceremony would take place here.

If it was natural, it was natural.

Consecration was a ‘religious ceremony’ in which secular things were made sacred and offered to God.

“It was a simplified ceremony, not a formal ceremony. I just wanted to drink the holy water, wash my body, and wash away the grime in my heart.”

“It worked.”

“That’s right. Mysteriously, the holy water washed the trainees until they accumulated grime.”

After hearing what Leon said, Priest Runda asked a question.

“So, you mean it’s a religious ceremony and it has to last a long time?”

“That’s right.”

There was no better way to build relationships with nobles.

In order for the skin to improve, it is necessary to maintain the chain of dawn for a long period of time.

“How is the high priest?”

Priest Runda asked the high priest.

“Hmm. This is also something that benefits the world, so I have no reason to oppose it.”

A ceremony to cleanse the hearts of nobles. It really hit the taste of the ambassador.

‘of course. Although such an effect has not been confirmed.’

I don’t know what’s inside, but it’s certain that my skin is getting better.

“The consecration ceremony is permitted. Priest Runda, come up with a plan and report it.”

“Yes, High Priestess!”

Priest Runda who thought about the future.

Even Leon will be moved by this… … ?

‘uh? Priest Runda? It’s for the future!’

However, gold was shining in Priest Runda’s eyes.

‘what! Give me back my impression!’
