Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

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. ◆◇◆◇◆◇

On the day the church visited the academy, all the afternoon classes were cancelled, and the students were currently gathering up in the huge auditorium to attend the mass held by our visitors. The one who was preaching to the students was a bishop from Primaria as well as the one who accompanied the priestess to the empire, as the priestess was sitting at the back with the maiden knights guarding her. My sister was one of those guards, as she was chosen to escort the priestess throughout her visit to the empire. And like the other guards, she was currently emitting a verdant aura from the perspective of unicorns. Right after we had sex yesterday morning, I cast Level 8 Restoration upon her and restored her hymen so that she would not get attacked by unicorns. This would take a few days, so since last night, I have been going home to make love with my mothers and my other women. Speaking of the priestess, she did not personally preach to the students, but rather, she was carefully scanning the students with her amber eyes. The mass was probably held so that the priestess could get the grasp of the students who could potentially serve the church. The priestess's name was Eisherz Gracier, the daughter of a count in the empire and a former student of the academy who just graduated last year. She was a snow white beauty with long and wavy pale blue hair, and she is currently wearing a white cleric outfit. Apparently, she was the young woman that was saved by Michael and the others last year from an assassination attempt in the context of a bandit attack. But I really did not expect her to become the priestess of the church. The church had a priestess, who was generally a young woman, whose role was to give inspiration to the youth as well as lead charity work such as healing the sick. The priestesses were the figureheads of the church and held no power in theocracy's politics. The priestess must have maintained her reputation intact throughout her term, and if she continued serving the church after a new priestess was appointed, she must do it for life. One of the things a priestess had to maintain was her purity, or, in other words, her virginity. With unicorns around, a priestess could not afford to lose it. The reason Eisherz was chosen as the new priestess probably had something to do with her stats. Along with her over-Level 200 power, she had the highest magic stat allocation percentage compared to the students in her batch. But the thing that contributed to her selection was her proficiency in light magic, the attribute that mattered the most to the church. She had Light Magic Level 8, the best of her time, even surpassing the previous priestess. "Hey, Raphael, aren't you staring at the priestess for a while?" "Huh? Me? No." I denied Iris's claim. "Is there anything wrong with admiring someone?"

"Well, nothing, I guess?" "Let's focus back on the mass, can we?" "You're quite a devotee to divine teaching, aren't you?" "I may not be a fan of the church entirely, but I am a faithful believer in the goddess." "Why, though?" she asked. "All the things that I have achieved are because of my faith in her. I might not be sitting here with you if it were not for her." "I see. But can you enlighten me? How does the goddess help you?" "You have quite a persistent side to you, huh? I apologize for not responding to that question, but I am keeping it to myself. I hope you understand." "I understand, Raphael." With that, Iris and I shifted our attention to the mass and listened to the sermons of the bishop. ◆◇◆◇◆◇

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.
