I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy
Chapter 59

Adult Administration Department of the Holy Office of the Holy See.
Warrior.
It was Stella’s official affiliation and position.
After living in a monastery and being selected as a warrior.
Stella has continued her activities under the command of the Ministry of Worship, which oversees all saints and saints of the Licht Church.
All sorts of fancy adjectives are attached to the front, but in the end, a warrior was no different from a weapon that acted as an agent of God’s will.
There is no need to think about weapons.
There is no need to judge.
I thought so.
Until I met Carol.
Still, Stella’s faith in God was firm. Even if Carol doubted and blasphemed God, there was no crack in Stella’s solid faith that had been built up over the years.
However, when it came to the question of how far one should believe in a human who speaks the will of God, not God itself, no answer came out.
Is it true that the many people who claim to be the will of God have truly heard the voice of God? Even the warrior himself had never heard of it.
The pebble thrown by Carol caused ripples in Stella’s calm mind, and when she realized it, it turned into an uncontrollable huge wave.
I prayed and prayed constantly hoping for an answer from God.
As usual, God did not give an answer.
Only the bright light of the Holy Sword illuminated the surroundings.
Carol had told her to become the subject herself and constantly search.
But that was too difficult for Stella, who had lived a life of support.
In the end, Stella gave up on seeking answers on her own.
Instead, they are like teachers and parents who have taught and taken care of themselves since childhood.
He went to visit Cardinal Richelieu, who had now risen to the position of cardinal and became minister of the Ministry of Worship.
It was vacation anyway, so I had plenty of time.
A unique outfit with silver plate armor and a crimson robe over it.
The sharp and shaped eyes hidden behind a benevolent face.
A strong, muscular body that cannot be hidden even in large priestly clothes.
He was one of the strongest warriors in the Seongguk, and was also Stella’s martial arts teacher.
“welcome. Hero Stella.”
Cardinal Richelieu welcomed Stella with a benevolent smile as always.
“Your Highness, I would like to confess.”
Wouldn’t it be wrong to ask such a question in the first place? Stella thought so, and decided to confess her sins to Cardinal Richelieu.
“Yes, you are welcome. I wanted to call it because it was already time, but I can see that you came earlier like this. This must be God’s will.”
Cardinal Richelieu laughed in a low voice and spoke the will of God.
“When…?”
“You don’t have to think about the exact thing. Please just accept it.”
“…I’ll take it.”
When Stella questioned, Cardinal Richelieu shook his head firmly.
Looking at Cardinal Richelieu’s cold eyes, Stella suddenly felt uneasiness.
painstakingly ignored
I shouldn’t have done that.

Summer has passed and autumn has come.
Because I came down from the cold north to the south, I felt the warmth even though the chilly autumn had begun.
A week has passed since the second semester started.
Chloe had sent another letter.
With the question of when and where we can meet.
I wasn’t too busy, so I made an appointment right away and went to Schultz.
“hello!”
A beautiful woman with big eyes and impressive bobbed hair waved at me and looked at me.
“Long time no see.”
“Yes, it’s been a while.”
Unlike when we met while working as enforcers, Chloe was wearing a comfortable dress that matched the free city air.
If it weren’t for the unique cross necklace hanging around her neck and the strong momentum emanating from her, she was no different from an ordinary city dweller except for being a beauty.
“What did you ask to see? Doesn’t sound like an enforcer’s job.”
“Yes, actually, I would like to ask you a favor. As I said beforehand, this is an unreasonable request.”
For a moment I thought I had heard it wrong. I didn’t know that I would openly say that I would ask for an unreasonable request.
“From what request.”
“of course. Then please follow me.”
Chloe took me and started heading somewhere.
After walking along the alley for a long time, we arrived at a small cafe with a garden between buildings.
“Here.”
“It doesn’t look like anything special, but…”
“that’s right. I just needed a quiet place. So that you don’t get in the way of having a conversation.”
Chloe went inside with her eyes shining, and busily started ordering various things.
“Actually, the desserts here are amazing. I also discovered it a while ago. Would you like to try it too, Carol?”
As the surrounding buildings partially blocked the sunlight, Chloe made a fuss while dipping the cake with a fork while sitting in the café garden, which had a rather mystical atmosphere. Then he took a bite and nodded with a happy smile.
Perhaps because it was in such a remote place, there were no people outside the cafe, Chloe, and me.
“No, let’s get straight to the point.”
You didn’t just invite me to eat dessert.
“Yes, of course.”
Chloe carefully removed the cross necklace from around her neck and set it down on the table.
At the same time, white energy spread around the cross necklace, blocking a certain range like a barrier.
“You don’t have to be on your guard. It’s a s*xual technique that blocks sound from leaking out. It’s nothing.”
The principle was similar to how I blocked the sound with a curtain.
“Okay then.”
Chloe’s expression, which had a happy smile while eating dessert, suddenly turned cold. The benevolent smile he always had was gone, and his expression was sharp and cold, as if it were being cut by a knife.
“How much does Carol know about the Holy Kingdom?”
“I don’t know the details. It’s like I’ve only seen it in books.”
“You should know that I am the Heretic Questioner.”
“I know that.”
Chloe sighed and rested her chin on her chin.
“In the Holy Land, there is a group called the Ministry of Yebu, which manages saints and saints. They manage not only adults but also warriors there.”
“If you’re a hero, you mean Stella?”
“Yes, of course she is also the present hero.”
It was a bit out of the blue. It’s not that he doesn’t know Stella, but he couldn’t be considered close. Come to think of it, it felt like I hadn’t seen Stella in a while. In social gatherings and in classes. If you look at what you haven’t seen since the second semester started.
It was more likely that he hadn’t even come to the academy in the first place.
“What happened to Stella?”
“Not yet, but it will be soon. Since ancient times, the Ministry of Religious Affairs, which is in charge of saints, and the Heretic Inquisition, which even adults are suspicious of, have not been on good terms.”
Chloe bit her lip and said.
“Why are you telling me that?”
“The current Minister of the Ministry of Worship, Cardinal Richelieu, is aiming for the next pope. Do you know about the episcopate of the Empire?”
“Know.”
A territory ruled by bishops within an empire.
The number was by no means small.
“The imperial emperor holds the right to appoint bishops who govern the bishoprics within the empire. Cardinal Richelieu wants to bring it back to the Holy Land. And for him…”
Chloe frowned and hesitated to speak.
“Would you like to use Stella?”
“Yes, that’s right. To be precise, we plan to manufacture the ultimate s*xual law weapon.”
“manufacturing?”
“I can’t find any other words to describe it. By the way, the weapon material is Hero Stella.”
“…”
In any world, there were people who did disgusting things. I’ve seen too many people who treat humans as mere material, whether it’s Murim or anywhere else.
The story was nothing special.
“There’s no way you can fight the emperor with just one holy law weapon made from a hero, right?”
“Cardinal Richelieu is looking to the future. After the great defeat of the Empire in the West, it was expected that the Empire would not be the same once this war was over. Don’t you think it’s strange by now?”
I immediately understood what Chloe was talking about. The Empire’s justification for war was ‘to eradicate the existence of demons’. Of course, I thought Seongguk would take the lead and join, but Seongguk didn’t step forward at all.
It can’t be said that it was only about dispatching a few Heretic Questioners into the empire. The answer came without thinking too deeply.
“After the war. The Empire would be worse than before, and the Seongguk would have fully preserved its power. Based on that, he puts forward the ‘ultimate sacred law weapon’ and brings the right to appoint a bishop. And acquiring the right to appoint a bishop within the empire must have been the long-cherished wish of the Holy Kingdom. Based on that achievement, will you ascend to the position of Pope?”
It was an obvious story. Religious people are extremely rare who can truly abandon their desires.
“…You know right away. Exactly.”
“So, what the hell is that ‘ultimate s*xual law weapon’?”
The warrior alone is powerful enough by normal standards. Honestly, I didn’t even guess that there was something to be made by using it as ‘material’.
“There are special beings in the Licht Church besides the hero.”
“…saint.”
I knew. Because it is emphasized in so many books.
“Yes, you know. Are you more sophisticated than you thought?”
“I know there are no saints of that time.”
“Saints… are complex beings.”
Chloe smiled bitterly.
“Carol-sama already knows. They exist solely to embody the miracles of God. The moment she is chosen as a saint, she is deprived of her free will and lives only for him. Of course, followers of God are all somewhat alike.”
“Is there something different?”
“Saints… are like dolls. I am here on my own volition. However, the saintess… Except for the minimum necessary to survive, everything is done through orders. Even just leaving his room.”
“If you treat humans that way, they will be ruined?”
Humans are not machines. Of course, limiting the basic rights to the extreme in this way had no choice but to be limited.
“…So we go through some kind of process so that it doesn’t break.”
“It’s a spectacle.”
It was obvious that it was a process of some kind, even if I hadn’t heard of it. It must be something like the Great Law of castrating humanity and turning it into a puppet of God. No, after all, he wasn’t even a god. It will be humans with ugly desires who give orders.
There were similar things in Moorim.
The story was nothing special.
“And… there are two ways to become a saint.”
“two?”
“The basic principle is to select a child with strong s*xual power by nature. But it doesn’t matter if you don’t have such a child. because you can make it Heroes appear sparsely, but that’s why saints have always existed in any era.”
“…”
As I was silent, Chloe took a deep breath. It’s as if you’ve made up your mind.
“The saintess uses her holy power to realize miracles worthy of being called. In order to artificially create a human with such enormous holy power… a proportionate number of materials are required.”
“Is the material another human?”
“Yes, we recruit martyrs. And ‘manufacturing’ a saint. That is the truth of being a saint.”
“Why are you telling me this?”
It must be the same story as the shame of the Holy Kingdom. Not even anyone else, the Heretic Questioner who was evaluated as a fanatic among fanatics.
“Stella… she lived in the same monastery as me when she was a child. Yes, from a secular point of view, you could say they were like real sisters.”
Chloe bit the inside of her lip.
“Cardinal Richelieu wants to fuse a saint and a warrior. The hero is prepared, so if you perform the ritual to make a saint on the hero. They seem to think that the strongest s*xual weapon will be created.”
“If that’s possible, why didn’t you do it before?”
It didn’t seem like Seongguk wouldn’t have done it in the meantime because of morality. I would definitely try it if possible.
“First of all, the most important hero wasn’t always there… Infusing a mighty hero with the power of a saint and turning it into a doll requires an enormous amount of ‘material’. It was on a different level from simply making one saint. We need at least a thousand units.”
“Does that number of martyrs exist?”
I asked a question that came to my mind. No matter how faithful the Holy Kingdom, recruiting thousands of martyrs could never be easy. It wasn’t even something to be sure that his death would have meaning.
Besides, it was hard to say that this was something that could be revealed openly. Looking at the appearance alone, I wondered if there was anything different from a black magician offering a sacrifice.
“…Yes, it was lacking. So Cardinal Richelieu crossed the line.”
“Are you saying you forcibly procured the materials?”
“you’re right. After analyzing it from various angles, it is certain.”
“Are you trying to stop that?”
Now I understand what Chloe meant by calling me. It was completely unexpected.
“They were intoxicated not by God’s will, but by God’s power. Even so, I can’t borrow the power of the former castle. The same goes for the Heretic Inquisition. They say they don’t get along, but even within the Inquisition, there are definitely people that Cardinal Richelieu can reach. Who is the enemy and who is the friend, I can’t quite judge. If so, I’d rather…”
With a grim expression on her lips, Chloe looked at me slowly.
“I’m better at this. I have no interest in the Holy Kingdom or the Licht Church.”
“Carol is the strongest among the people I know. I know it’s an unreasonable request. There won’t be any resentment or resentment towards Carol. You don’t have to give me an answer right away. According to what I understand, there is still time until the ceremony.”
“…”
“…please.”
Chloe politely bowed her head until her forehead touched the table.
I’ve seen a lot of stories about humans doing all sorts of ugly things in the name of God.
this too.
Well, it was nothing special.
