Chapter 386 - [28th Round] The Power of Religion
? Request: I’ll tell you more later, Counselor Kang Han Soo. For now, focus on your adventure.
Tears welled up in my eyes because of how cold Trainee Teacher had become. Even though this was our first communication in such a long time, she acted as if she was the embodiment of the northern winds…
My cowardly wife probably threatened her.
? Odin: Hmm? The teacher suddenly let out a tear.
? Zeus: What’s wrong with him?
? Allah: Is he crying? Dust probably got into his eyes!
? Luna: He sheds tears for the suffering of the human race.
? Sieg: That makes sense. Humans there obey vampires.
I continued my adventure as the cold Trainee Teacher requested.
Mollanpis, the Western Continent’s Holy Sword, could be obtained by completing the tasks given by the improved mollanphone.
Shakespeare and I invented these missions, so I wasn’t surprised by them.
[1. Destroy 5,000 Little Biancas.]
[2. Destroy 500 Medium Biancas.]
[3. Destroy 50 High Biancas.]
[4. Destroy the Bianca Factory.]
[5. Destroy 5 Superior Biancas.]
[6. Destroy the?-Class Bianca.]
They were so simple that even the elderly wouldn’t find them confusing.
One could obtain the Holy Sword by destroying 5556 Bianca battle androids, modeled after Teacher Morals, and the factory that produced them.
It was easy enough.
“I hope we get a final boss at the end that transforms into a super robot…”
“That was problematic. Without your help, Kang Han Soo, I wouldn’t have been able to fight while carrying my wife on my back.”
Kang Han Soo, who summoned Holy Sword Nucleon, and Alex, giving the Snow Woman a piggyback ride, destroyed all the Biancas.
Green Cake collected the gold coins from the destroyed androids’ bodies.
As for me, I didn’t have time to waste on androids that didn’t even provide me with experience.
‘Trainee Teacher! Trainee Teacher!’
? Irritation: Okay, okay, enough already! I’ll tell you everything! I wasn’t originally supposed to appear until after the broadcast… Anyway, I became a morality teacher, taking over Bianca’s position.
Morality Teacher!
I was very curious how Morality Teacher, a beauty both in body and soul, taught the social outcasts.
‘Please tell me! Quicker!’
? Humility: It’s nothing special. I help worthless Heroes neglecting their adventures because of their reckless lust to realize the bitterness of such a life.
Oh! That was amazing!
I thought Sociology Teacher, who raised pets and assigned them to these social outcasts, was the one who worked the hardest.
But it seemed he was far from being the busiest of them all.
After all, Trainee Teacher— No, Morality Teacher was great!
? Embarrassment: Don’t tease me. Tweaking the class syllabus that Bianca left behind to suit my own style took me quite long. And I also learned how difficult it is to teach others.
Yes. It was definitely hard, but Morality Teacher was too modest.
After all, she took care of me and raised me into becoming the G-Class Hero.
‘You can be proud of yourself.’
? Denial: No, I can’t. I was assigned to Sieg for the teacher qualification exam, making it extremely difficult. It’s a shame to admit this, but I wanted him to just drop out so that all of my problems would end. I’m a really bad teacher…
Sieg again!
While comforting Morality Teacher, Kang Han Soo and Alex destroyed the factory and defeated the last boss.
[You have completed your training.]
[Grade: GG+]
[Rank: 1st]
[Base Reward: Mollanpis]
[Rank Reward: Space Station]
I didn’t lift a finger, but thanks to Mollan’s great followers, I took first place in the overall ranking.
The rank reward was automatically added to the Hero’s personal file, so it could still be used even after regression.
I did it all with Shakespeare out of boredom, but it worked out well.
[1st Place: Space Station]
[2nd Place: Aircraft Carrier]
[3rd Place: Battleship]
[4th Place: Cruiser]
[5th Place: Destroyer]
[6th Place: Transport Ship]
[7th Place: Right to Choose One SSS-Rank Weapon]
[8th Place: Right to Choose One SS-Rank Weapon]
[9th Place: Right to Choose One S-Rank Weapon]
…
All men dreamed of having their personal air transport.
Moreover, judging by how my cowardly wife proudly rode her obscenely screaming stingray around, it seemed not only men were obsessed with it.
These were pretty generous awards.
? Shiva: Aaagh! That vile teacher! He took first place away from me! Give me back my space station!
? Opion: You were in first? What’s your grade? I’m in 2nd place with a ZZ grading. Oh! I guess I’m in 3rd now.
? Baal: 2nd place with ZZ? But I have the same grade. Did you finish it before I did? Anyway, I have a cruiser now.
? Zeus: The dead have risen from their graves!
? Odin: Wow! Look at these people that have come to see us!
? Allah: We were visited by ancient ghosts…
I decided to use Mollanfors, built for me by Shakespeare but had only been lying dormant lately, as a reward.
Its efficiency and power, which was too great, had been reduced accordingly so the Heroes could use them.
Linked to one’s mollanphone account, it could be summoned and used as soon as they started their adventure, like what Richel had done in the past.
That aside…
“I was just trying to get the Holy Sword, but I won first place. This is embarrassing.”
I wasn’t lying.
I didn’t strive for this.
All this time, I just talked to the cold Morality Teacher.
“Here’s the Holy Sword, Hero.”
“Ah, thanks.”
“Hehe…”
Green Cake handed me the weapon he took from the ruins of the Bianca factory.
Mollanpis, the Holy Sword that absorbs other equipment’s abilities and effects.
If it absorbed armor instead of a weapon, one could summon it at any time and equip it.
Click, click.
It successfully integrated the advanced suit I received from Shakespeare.
It fit snugly around my body like a wetsuit and had built-in temperature control and environmental disguise.
“Are we going to move now?”
BRRRRRRR!
The space station I received for ranking 1st at the training hovered over my head.
[Would you like to board, Captain?]
The weakened Mollanfors.
It had 5,000 android crew members on standby, and more could be produced for combat.
In addition, the crew’s appearance could be adjusted to suit the tastes of their captain. Handsome guy, pretty girl. Anything.
“Yes.”
I did nothing but communicate with Morality Teacher, who remained cold, yet the combat power of my party increased dramatically.
? Apologetic: I didn’t mean to treat you coldly. After what happened with student Sieg, I lost confidence in myself and became obsessed with the idea of doing everything right…
Was Sieg actually the source of all evil?
If I had known this was going to happen, I would have done more work on his upbringing before he died on the 1st floor of the Demon Lord’s Tower.
If I passed this inspection safely, I’d be sure to take him on.
‘Just wait, Morality Teacher! I’ll even promote you to become my personal secretary. That way, you’ll only have to care about my morality!’
?Rejection: I’m very sorry. I really appreciate your offer, Counselor Kang Han Soo, but I still want to help the students get back on the right track.
“… I suddenly feel like getting drunk. Set a course for the Giant Empire’s capital on the Southern Continent.”
Mollanfors, hearing my command, activated.
[Route creation completed.]
[ETA: 94 seconds]
The G-Class Hero and his party headed to the Southern Continent!
*****
In the Southern Continent’s Elf Empire, a bug who received orders from my mother-in-law imitated Elf King Elfheim.
Hence, the Elf Empire gradually prepared for war, strengthening and increasing its weaponry and troops beyond what was necessary.
But the Giant Empire lived in peace.
It was the most powerful nation in all of Fantasy, after all.
? Race: Tall Giant
? Level: 1281
? Job: Monk (Faith → Divinity ↑)
? Skills: Faith Z, Super Strength Z, Size MAX, Two-handed Sword Mastery MAX, Fortitude MAX…
?Status: Prayer, Enlightenment
A baby recently descended on their land and taught the Giant King a lesson using his plump buttocks.
Thousands of the Giant Empire’s inhabitants witnessed that spectacle and, recognizing his greatness, began to erect a huge statue in his honor near the palace.
Of course, their piety rose to the skies.
“This is horrifying.”
All the giants that came into view had at least Z-Rank Faith.
I was considered a semi-hero on other continents, but here, I was no different from an ordinary warrior.
Given their racial superiority, the actual combat power of such a giant was comparable to that of a level 2000 Aqua.
Such was the power of Faith!
Such was the power of the Great Child religion!
Such was the strength of the Giant Empire!
It was only natural that the Giant King, who had become a martyr for raising the Faith of his people, felt very uncomfortable.
“Have you come for the Holy Sword, Hero?” Giant King Phoenix, currently in the form of a human, asked as he lounged imposingly on his throne.
I hadn’t seen him show such a cocky attitude towards me for quite a long time. It was pissing me off, but all I could do was endure it since I shouldn’t reveal my true identity.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“According to the oath I took in ancient times, I will give you the Holy Sword if you pass my test—”
“Before that, I can no longer hold myself back from voicing this out. The empire I saw from the skies is truly beautiful. Its streets are clean with no trace of poverty, and its children are brimming with happiness. I know it is all thanks to Your Majesty’s great reign and grace that its inhabitants can safely worship the Great Child.”
The Phoenix Giant King’s lips twitched slightly.
However, the lesson Captain Fantasy taught him had been engraved so deeply in his soul that he didn’t succumb to my flattery so easily.
“The prosperity of the empire became possible only thanks to his appearance. I, who was smaller than him, only helped from the sidelines.”
“You are greater than that, Your Majesty.”
“Your flattery is useless.”
“Haha! I am the Cardinal of Mollan’s Teachings, Your Majesty. I would never result in such actions. I only present facts and objectively assess what is happening before me.”
As proof, I began to emit the radiance of my ZZ-Rank Divinity.
Unless one were born an angel, they wouldn’t be able to release such great Divinity through the teachings of other religions, including the Great Child religion.
“Indeed, Cardinal…”
He immediately proudly straightened his back.
The Giant King’s eyes, wary of flattery, sparkled.
… It seemed I would have to teach him another lesson later.
Now, however, with all of my preparations complete, I could finally confidently declare it.
“Test me.”
“Haha! Why are you in such a hurry, Hero? I would like to talk to you again. I invite you to a party, so be sure to come. I will share the details of the trial later.”
“Thank you for your hospitality. May Mollan’s blessing be with you.”
“Yes. With you too. Hahaha!”
“…”
My blood pressure rose a little because of our conversation, but he would pay for it later anyway.
The party went well.
Giant King Phoenix, whose heart was melted by my praise, gave me a test as promised.
1) Win a prize in a culinary duel.
2) Win a prize in a fishing competition.
It was a very simple test compared to what Sieg had to go through.
? Sieg: It can’t be! That’s an obvious scam!
? Opion: No. You’re just an idiot. That damn teacher is spreading advanced information.
? Leon: Don’t be fooled. If the Giant King starts thinking you’re sucking up to him, he’ll be all over you…
? Baal: This is crazy. Only two tasks, and he doesn’t even need to win but just take a prize-winning place? That teacher has a good tongue in his mouth.
Winning the culinary duel was easy since I had already defeated the Divine Dragon Queen Erdanti.
As for the fishing competition, I ordered the sea mermaids to jump onto my baitless hook with the help of the Mermaid Queen’s song.
The trials were too easy.
“Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“… I’m just surprised by how enthusiastic you are right now, considering you were reluctant just yesterday. Where did the sudden change in your heart come from?”
Oh! Disco had good intuition.
“I have an important task ahead of me.”
This was the beginning of a grand epic about transforming a woman, beautiful both in body and soul, into my secretary.
I was now on the path to my dream.
“Forward! Let’s continue the adventure! Mollan!”
