Whether in the world before us or in the world now, fallen angels don't have a good reputation among humans. It's not because they have a hideous appearance or any other objective reason, but because the rumors about fallen angels are spread by their adversaries, so their reputation is definitely not going to be good.
However, I personally don't like fallen angels either, the reason being... naturally, it's because the first drop of blood shed when I arrived in this world was taken by a fallen angel.
Yes, it was the fallen angel under Black Cold. Although I don't remember her name, I remember very clearly that she killed me.
However, summoning angels or fallen angels through magic shouldn't bring out the real angels or fallen angels. Generally, what is summoned are their avatars or illusions. But even so, compared to ordinary humans, the strength of these illusions is also very strong. Well, at least for students in school, that power is absolute.
"I see, so that's how it is... Have you discovered the cause?"
"Just because we can't discover it, we don't know what to do. And her light-based abilities are getting stronger inside her body, so I think we should stop her training, let her study at the school, and relieve some stress."
"You really brought a ticking time bomb to our side. What if she suddenly summons a fallen angel? Can she control it?"
"Well..."
Taylor said with a bitter smile.
"It depends on who she summons, if it's an illusion with consciousness, then it's definitely no joke."
"Hey hey hey, is this really okay? What about your safety measures? What if we really get summoned?"
"That should not be a problem essentially."
The other person's face showed a little more reassurance.
"As long as people nearby don’t attack Sally's consciousness, the summoned fallen angel won't act, that's the result of our experiments..."
"Experiments, huh..."
They must have carried out quite a few inhumane experiments again, right? Well, that's just the consistent style of the church.
This also explained why they sent Sally to school, although officially it was to let her relax, in reality, it was to hide her in the academy. Although she cannot attack actively, being able to summon a fallen angel is still a very strong presence, so hiding such a thing inside the church of the Imperial Academy is the best choice. First of all, ordinary people don't usually go to the school's church, they go to their own district’s church. Secondly, if there’s already a rumor circulating in the academy about church members staying in the school church, no one would be stupid enough to disturb them.
After all, nobody wants to mess with such a powerful organization.
Well, knowing the situation gives room for a solution, since this is the case, the only way is to break through head-on.
"Alright, I understand the situation. But the current situation is a bit special, our academy currently has some activities that require class members to participate, and there aren’t many people in our class to begin with, so I hope Sally can join as well. Besides, the problem cannot be solved inside the church, maybe going out for a walk could be the way to solve it, don't you think?"
"This..."
Taylor glanced at George, who just shrugged.
"Fine..."
Taylor turned to me.
"Since that's the case, it's trouble for the teacher. Please wait a moment, I will go get the key to that church for you. But be careful, don't force it if you encounter that fallen angel... But with the strong light magic you can use, there shouldn't be a problem blocking the fallen angel, right?"
Your blame-shifting is pretty clean, it's like I'm here to solve your family's problems for free.
Ah, who asked me to only receive a salary from the school now? No way, I have to work.
Soon, we got the keys to the church from Tyler, and we had no reason to stay here anymore. After a simple farewell, we boarded the airship and flew towards the academy.
Of course, before that, George started promoting to me the benefits of joining the church again. I felt like I almost memorized the whole sales pitch. Even if I don't join, I feel like I could be a missionary.
But of course, I won't do that.
----------Map loaded: Academy----------
Soon, we were back at the academy. Things went smoother than I had imagined. I thought there might be a thrilling battle or a miraculous heist, but if we achieve our main goal all at once, we don't have to worry about other issues.
Once off the airship, the first thing I did was head straight to the church.
With permission granted, it's time to get to work.
"Brother!"
Oyado, who had been keeping watch around the church, saw me and immediately rushed over.
"I've been watching the church as you said, and no one has come or gone."
"See, that's the weirdest part."
I chuckled.
"If no one enters or exits, how does a living person get essential goods?"
"Well... that's true."
Oyado nodded.
"But inside this church, there should only be one person."
I looked at the church, where only Sally's name was written, and no one else's.
Either the person is hiding really well, or they don't belong to named individuals?
Either way, it's time to go in and take a look.
I arrived at the church door and inserted the key into the keyhole.
After the door opened, we entered the church, and as soon as we stepped inside, I smelled a strange odor.
"Hmm, Oyado, do you think this smell is very familiar, but very unsuitable for this place?"
"Yeah, the smell of the Abyss."
Indeed, it was that faint hint of sulfur and foul odor typical of the Abyss.
"It's not easy for the church to have this kind of smell, huh, Sally?"
I looked towards the pulpit of the church, where a young girl with long black hair dressed as a nun was lying on it, holding a black leather-bound book and reading.
...
"Oh, it's Teacher Lin~ welcome."
Suddenly, she turned to us, and her body started to float slowly.
Next, a pair of black wings unfolded from behind her, jet-black and with an eerie sheen.
Yes, just like a fallen angel.
And what's even scarier is that the next moment, a pair of wings, one demonic and one angelic, also spread out from behind her, each carrying its own luster, emitting an unmistakably real aura.
My goodness... what is this person in front of me...
"Well, teacher, you and your sister are the first to see my true form, the reason you see me... well, can I see your true form? I mean the Undead Holy Angel one~"
"So this church is actually your enchantment, right?"
I gave a bitter smile, then waved my hand and closed the door of the church, and my pair of wings spread out.
"Well... I think we still have a long time today. Can you tell me a little bit about where your wings come from?"
"Of course, teacher. By the way, I'm quite interested in dragon wings."
I was shocked all over, quickly retracting my wings.
"Don't be nervous~ just as you said."
Sally looked at me with her purple eyes.
"We still have a lot of time today."
